Owner / Applicant: City of Fort Worth/Petition for the 2500 blocks of Rogers and

Wabash Avenues Site Location: 2500 blocks Rogers & Wabash Avenues Mapsco: 76S Proposed Use: Single Family Residential Request: From: “B” Two-Family with TCU Residential Overlay

To: “A-5” One-Family with TCU Residential Overlay

Land Use Compatibility: Requested change is compatible. Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is consistent. Background: This portion of the University West neighborhood has been zoned “B” Two-Family since the adoption of zoning in 1940. The area is predominantly developed with single family houses and covered by the TCU Residential Overlay, adopted in 2014. The purpose of the petition is to zone land consistent with the predominant use and retain an established single family development pattern. A meeting for the affected property owners was held on May 3, 2017. The petition for City-Initiated rezoning was submitted under the requirements of M&C G-13003, petition-based rezoning. Sixty-eight parcels comprise the area to be rezoned. Owners representing 69.12% of the parcels and 69.34% of the land area signed a petition in favor of rezoning to single family lot sizes of “A-5” One-Family. The case was continued from the last Zoning Commission hearing due to opposition from investor owned properties. At the May meeting, the Zoning Commission asked for more support petitions. Additional signatures have been submitted, and the updated percentages are noted above. Staff has worked with the opposition of two multi family properties at 2565 Rogers and 2500 Wabash. These properties include six units each. 2565 Rogers was built in 1929 per TAD and 2500 Wabash was shown to be built in 1926, therefore both are considered legal nonconforming for the existing six units. The Zoning Commission recommended continuing these two address so that they may be renoticed for PD/A-5 with the six units for the existing structures, one bedroom per unit, and site plan required for new construction. With the base A-5 district, the TCU overlay restriction of no more than 3 persons per unit will apply. Site Information:

Zoning Commission Recommendation: Approval by a vote of 7-0; 2565 Rogers and 2500 Wabash continued 30 days to renotice for PD/A-5

Opposition: Two spoke Support: Multiple

Platting History: None. Transportation/Access Street Existing Size Thoroughfare Plan classification Current Plans/CIP Rogers Avenue 2 lanes undivided Residential none Wabash Avenue 2 lanes undivided Residential none Development Impact Analysis:

1. Land Use Compatibility Based on retaining an established single-family development pattern, the proposed “A-5” One-Family district is compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning.

2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency

The 2017 Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Single Family. The proposed zoning conforms to the following Comprehensive Plan policies:

• Protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible land uses, disinvestments, encroachment, speculation, demolition, neglect, and other negative forces.

• Encourage single-family residential development and outside of growth centers.

• Encourage infill development of compatible, single-family homes in existing neighborhoods to preserve and protect residential neighborhoods.

• Encourage development type and intensity appropriate to existing or planned street infrastructure by coordinating future land use map changes with the Master Thoroughfare Plan and an adopted Complete Streets policy.

Based on conformance with the future land use map and policies stated above, the proposed zoning is consistent with the 2017 Comprehensive Plan.

19. ZC-17-080 City of Fort Worth Planning and Development (CD 9) – 2500 blocks Rogers & Wabash Avenues (See Exhibit in Case File, 14.44 acres) From: “B” Two-Family with TCU Residential Overlay To: “A-5” One-Family with TCU Residential Overlay Rebecca Fetty, 2550 Rogers Ave., representing the signers of the petition, gave a brief presentation for the reason for the request. She explained that the “stealth dorms” in the neighborhood cause concerns with traffic and stormwater runoff. They want to preserve the character and charm of the neighborhood. Brad Schneider, 2511 Rogers Ave., spoke about the size discrepancy from single-family homes to stealth dorms (1300 sf vs 4500 sf), as well as the amount of impervious cover the stealth dorms use for parking surfaces. Dan McKenzie, 2637 Boyd Ave., Chairman of University West N.A., spoke about the amount of young families moving into the area. He believed this case is in line with the comprehensive plan. He mentioned that Rogers is going to be part of a new bicycle route in the city. Field Lange, 4305 Winding Way, Benbrook, TX, spoke in opposition of the request. He explained that he thought there was insufficient notice for the neighborhood meeting and that investors were not notified. The change would make his property less marketable. He asked for a continuance if the request is not denied. Michael Berkowitz, 4471 Kirkland Dr., also asked for the case to be continued or denied. He recently received the postcard. He mentioned his property is usually leased to young professionals. Sue Day, 4600 Ranch View, maintains property on Rogers and usually rents to graduate students. She mentioned she is also against stealth dorms. She believes the rezoning will make her property lose value or make it unable to sell. Motion: Following brief discussion, Ms. Dunn recommended a 30-Day continuance of the request, seconded by Mr. Northern. The motion carried unanimously 9-0.
