C dw T:2% To the Mayor and Members of the City Council February 25, 2003
SUBJECT: URBAN VILLAGE NEIGHBORHOOD EMPOWERMENT
ZONE PROPOSED BOUNDARIES
This Informal Report outlines the proposed boundaries of the seven (7) remaining urban villages planned for
NEZ designation. The Urban Village NEZ boundary description was requested by City Council at the January 7,
2003 Pre-Council meeting.
1. Background
On April 25, 2000 (M&C G-12897), the City Council approved the Policy.Statement on the Creation of Local
NEZs in accordance with Chapter 378 of the Texas Local Government Code (amended on April 2, 2002, M&C
G-13580). The City Council also authorized the City Manager to identify neighborhood areas that may be
eligible for NEZ designation and to develop administrative procedures for the NEZ Program.
On March 26, 2002, the City Council amended the Policy Statement on the Designation of Local NEZs (M&C G-
12897 dated April 25, 2000, and G-13030 dated October 3, 2000, as amended) to require mixed-use zoning of
an urban village as defined in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan as a prerequisite for the designation of that urban
village and surrounding neighborhoods as a NEZ. Under the amendment, if a proposed NEZ boundary includes
an urban village as defined in the 2002 Comprehensive Plan, a logical, defensible area of the urban village, as
determined by the City of Fort Worth, must be zoned mixed-use. Eligible mixed-use zoning dassifications
include: "MU-11" Low Intensity Mixed-Use District, "MU-2" High Intensity Mixed-Use District, and a compatible
"PD" Planned Development District.
On February 12, 2002, the City Council also directed staff to proceed with preparing NEZ boundaries for the 12
urban villages and surrounding neighborhoods. Their designation as NEZs is contingent upon the rezoning of a
"defensible area"in the urban villages to mixed-use.
Five of the 12 urban villages(Ridglea Village, Evans and Rosedale, Magnolia Village, Polytechnic/Wesleyan and
Hemphill/Berry) have been rezoned to mixed-use and designated as NEZs in accordance with Chapter 378 of
the Texas Local Government Code. The boundaries of the five NEZs in the urban villages are shown on Exhibit
A.
Exhibit B shows the proposed N EZ boundaries for the remaining seven urban villages. These may be subject to
change as property owners, developers and neighborhoods work through the mixed-use zoning process. Exhibit
C shows all the approved NEZs and the proposed boundaries for the remaining seven urban villages.
11. Next Step
The remaining seven urban villages are in different stages of the mixed-use rezoning process. Staff will bring
them to Council for NEZ designation as each individual urban village is rezoned to mixed-use.
