6001 Tension Dr. and 6033 & 6051 Dallas Ave. Mapsco: 79M

Proposed Use: Indoor Metal Recycling

Request: From: "FR" General Commercial Restricted and "K" Heavy Industrial

To: Tract 1: "PD/K" Planned Development for all uses in "K" Heavy Industrial plusindoor metal recycling facility, and Tract 2: "PD/FR" Planned Development for alluses in "FR" General Commercial Restricted plus truck scale and auxiliaryparking, site plan included.

Land Use Compatibility: Requested change is not compatible.

Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is not consistent.

Background:The applicant is requesting to operate an indoor metal recycling business in two existing adjacentbuildings. Other buildings on the property are currently leased to a separate company. A truck scale anda parking area are proposed for future development on the "FR" zoned vacant lot across the street. Thesite plan indicates all operations and processing will be conducted indoors with no outside storage.

The applicant has explained that the traffic flow for public drop off of metals will be from Tension Drive,with the customer backing into the building to unload the metals. Other customers waiting to complete thedrop off are intended to park in the existing parking areas until the drive is available. Tension Drive andthe access road to Loop 820 are expected to be the primary routes used by customers, with no throughtraffic expected on Dallas 8t. If the future truck scale is installed on Tract 2, city streets will be utilized forthe access between the scale and drop off point. A conceptual diagram of the traffic flow is provided,however neither traffic nor parking/queuing on the public right-of-way can be controlled through Zoning.Transportation/Public Works staff explained that structures are prohibited in the right-of-way, but usage ofthe right-of-way is controlled by the Police Department.

All collected materials will be transported via a 40-45' enclosed van which will access the building on thenorth side, off Dallas 8t.; the applicant has indicated there will be no semi-tractor trailer activity on the site.The primary metals to be recycled will consist of aluminum, copper, brass, nickel, and other alloys.Ferrous metals will be accepted however the size of the building limits the size and amount that can bereceived.

Any mechanical equipment and dumpsters shall be screened from public right-of-way.

Considerations: The site will have access primarily from Loop 820, Rosedale Street and Tension Drive,with circulation possible on Dallas Avenue and Hampshire Drive. All are designated as two laneresidential roads, which are not adequate for the traffic generated by the proposed uses. *Tension Driveis indicated as a residential street on the city's inventory, however it is currently partially a dividedparkway and then an undivided street within a 100 ft. wide right-of-way.

Development Impact Analysis:1. Land Use Compatibilitv

The applicant is proposing to rezone two parcels (Tract 1) to PD/K for all uses in uK" HeavyIndustrial plus indoor metal recycling and the remaining parcel (Tract 2) to PD/FR for all uses inFR plus a future truck scale and auxiliary parking.

Surrounding land uses include vacant with commercial and automotive uses to the north,industrial and an indoor shooting gallery to the east, manufacturing with outdoor storage to thesouth, and vacant with some commercial and manufacturing uses to the west.

While the sorting operations of the proposed recycling activity will occur indoors, the use isexpected to generate a constant flow of drop-off traffic, provides limited queueing and parking,and is in proximity to single family uses. Since the primary use in the area is a small lightindustrial center, the more intensive recycling use is not compatible at this location.

2. Comprehensive Plan ConsistencyThe 2011 Comprehensive Plan future land use map designates the subject property as LightIndustrial and Neighborhood Commercial. The requested zoning change is not consistent with thefollowing Comprehensive Plan policies.

• Locate large industrial uses along rail lines, highways, or airports within industrial growthcenters and other appropriate locations. (pg. 38)

• Separate incompatible land uses with buffers or transitional uses. Some land uses haveattributes such as height, proportion, scale, operational characteristics, traffic generated,or appearance that may not be compatible with the attributes of other uses. (pg. 38)

Based on the lack of conformance with the future land use map and policies stated above, theproposed zoning is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Subject: FW: ZC-011-122 Ready Metals

From: Rocky Adams [mailto:radams681@gmail.com]Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 3:39 PMTo: Hudson, BarrySubject: Metal Theft

Barry,

In regard to Councilman Moss's concerns about "copper sales", I believe that he is talking about copper theft which is a realproblem. Although insulated copper theft is the most widely known, scrap dealers have to watch out for many types of scrap metalsthefts to minimize the possibility of buying stolen material. These are some of the things that the City of Fort Worth requires whenpurchasing scrap metals:

1. All scrap with the exception of aluminum cans have to be driven in by the customer in/on a vehicle.2. All customers must have a valid state issued driver's license or I.D. card to sell any scrap with the exception of aluminum

cans and/or tin.

3. All standing A/C unit scrap (al/cu coils, copper, compressors and even steel shell) can only be sold/purchased with a validstate issued "TDLR"contractors HVAClicense, or a receipt that documents the replacement of a customer's standing A/Cunit.

4. Man-hole covers, fire hydrants, drainage grates and any other scrap that looks to have originated from a city-owned sourcecan only be bought with written consent by the city with specific reference to the customer selling the scrap and signed bya legitimate city official who governs the disposal of that city's scrap. Then we must call that city official, or theirrepresentative, to confirm the authenticity of the consent letter and the customers right to sell it.

5. All utility wire/cable used for telecommunications and appears to have been used/owned by the city or atelecommunications company can only be purchased with written consent from the city/company with specific reference tothe customer selling it and signed by an official.

6. Any railroad scrap and materials appearing to be railroad scrap can only be purchased with written consent from therailroad company with specific reference to the customer selling it and signed by and official.

7. Other scrap to avoid buying unless proven legitimate:a. Brassgrave/memorial plaquesb. Beer kegs

c. Brassdrain spouts coming from industrial/commercial buildingsd. Roadsignse. Construction zone scrap (signs, steel posts)

8. The City of Fort Worth has a "tag and hold" ordinance which we will fully comply with.9. Last,we will always use our discretion and common sensewhen buying. Anything that looks like it may have been stolen,

we will contact Officer Hawkins, Secondary Metal RecyclersCompliance Officer, Fort Worth Police Department, to sendsomeone out to take a look at it. I've worked with Officer Hawkins before and am on his e-mail distribution to be on thelookout for items that have been stolen.

I spent 33 years with Commercial Metals Company where stopping metal theft was a top priority. Although we (ReadyMetals) willbe a small business, I believe that this is the only way to operate and it will payoff in many ways. We will work hard to beconsidered one of the most diligent recyclers against metal theft in the area.

Please let me know if Councilman Moss has any questions or needs further information.

Best regards,

Rocky

Stoughton Addition, Block 1,Lot B, West Handley Addition, Block 4, Lot 8, 1.26 Acres): from "FR" GeneralCommercial Restricted and "K" Heavy Industrial to Tract 1: "PD/K" PlannedDevelopment for all uses in "K" Heavy Industrial plus indoor metal recycling facility, andTract 2: "PD/FR" Planned Development for all uses in "FR" General CommercialRestricted plus recycling truck scale and auxiliary parking for recycling business, site planincluded.

Barry Hudson, 550 Bailey Avenue, Suite 400, Fort Worth, Texas representing Ready Metalsexplained the request to rezone the property to PD/K plus metal recycling. He explained this isan indoor metal recycling green facility. The owner wanted to be a middleman for the more

heavy industrial recyclers. It is an existing industrial park all located within a building. Therewas a slide presentation on the access including Tension Drive. He also mentioned there is noresidential use on Tension Drive; however, City of Fort Worth maps indicate it as a residentialStreet.

Mr. Genua asked what building they will be driving into. Mr. Hudson mentioned it is the middlebuilding with the overhead door. Mr. Genua also asked if trucks will be turning around in thebuilding. He stated there will be pickups that unload and either back out or turn around in thebuilding after unloading.

Mr. Ferrell mentioned he had a concern about maneuvering and as long as there is no large trucktraffic there should not be a problem. He also asked if they were doing metal separation on site.Mr. Hudson mentioned there would be 10 new jobs created and there would be some separation.They did meet with the Meadowbrook Neighborhood Association. Mr. Ferrell also asked aboutferrous metals and how they are separated. He referred to Mr. Adams.

Rocky Adams, 3609 San Bar Lane, Colleyville, Texas owner for Ready Metals explained theywill not be buying ferrous scrap. The facility is not compatible with that type of scrap. He said ifthey had to they would comply with the rules and regulations.

Mr. Romero asked who they might be buying from. Mr. Adams said plumbers, electricians,automotive body shops. There is not a place in this area for citizens to sell their small scrap.

Motion: Following brief discussion, Mr. Ferrell recommended approval of the request,seconded by Mr. Edmonds. The motion carried unanimously 9-0.
