Owner / Applicant: Colonial Development Partners, LLC Site Location: 301 N. Henderson Street Mapsco: 62Z Proposed Use: Condominium Tower Request: From: “PI-N3” Panther Island-Neighborhood Zone 3/Downtown Urban Design District To: “H” Central Business District/Downtown Urban Design District Land Use Compatibility: Requested change is compatible. Comprehensive Plan Consistency: Requested change is consistent. Background: The property is located west of Henderson Street, between Bluff Mills and Peach. The applicant is proposing a zoning change from “PI-N-3” Panther Island-Neighborhood Zone 3 to “H” Central Business District. While a high-rise condo tower development is permitted in the PI district, the rezoning to “H” allows for additional height of 30 stories. The Downtown Urban Design District will require additional review and approval by the Downtown Design Review Board (DDRB). The proposed development is located within the Downtown Mixed-Use Growth Center. Mixed uses are encouraged within these areas in order to take advantage of proximity to high employment areas, proximity to public amenities, and proximity to public transit. The site is also located within the confines Downtown Fort Worth Plan 2023, which is a Strategic Action Plan for downtown and surrounding areas. This plan was updated in 2013 and reflects the community’s vision for a livable, healthy, economically vibrant and exciting downtown for the next 10 years. The plan builds on downtown’s existing natural, cultural, social and physical assets. It also provides a strong foundation for strategic actions that will shape Downtown’s future development, enhance connections to surrounding neighborhoods and strengthen Downtown’s role as the heart of the city.

Development Impact Analysis:

1. Land Use Compatibility The applicant is proposing a zoning change to “H” Central Business District for a condominium tower to provide additional height. Surrounding land uses consist of condos and the Trinity River to the north, TCC Campus to the east, vacant land to the south and single-family residence, vacant land and a parking lot to the west. The proposed site is located within the confines of the Downtown Strategic Action Plan and the Downtown Mixed-Use Growth Center. The proposed zoning is compatible at this location.

2. Comprehensive Plan Consistency The 2018 Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property in the Downtown Mixed Use Growth Center and the Downtown Urban Design District. The requested zoning classification is appropriate for the land use designation. The proposed H zoning is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies:

• Encourage appropriate development and redevelopment within central city commercial districts and neighborhoods. (pg. 39)

Page 3 of 3

• Promote location of multifamily units within walking distance of public transportation, employment, recreation, and/or shopping to increase accessibility and decrease vehicular traffic generation. (pg. 38)

Based on conformance with the future land use, and policies stated above, the proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Downtown Urban Design District Downtown Fort Worth strives to build upon its image as the most vibrant, walkable, mixed-use urban center in the region by focusing on exceptional design of both private and public places. The Downtown Urban Design Standards and Guidelines (DUDSG) were developed to improve and protect the appearance, value, and function of downtown properties. The standards and guidelines allow for creativity and variety within a framework of basic design parameters that reinforce the best attributes of Downtown. Projects are evaluated with respect to the guiding principles, in addition to the pertinent standards and guidelines.
