District: 8

Citywide

The Phoenix rezoning case was brought before the Fort Worth City Council by developer TTP Partnership, represented by Ron Ramirez of Westwood Professional Services. The 134-acre site is located in the city's extra-territorial jurisdiction and the developer requested voluntary annexation along with the rezoning request.

The request was to rezone the property from unzoned to "A-5" One-Family Residential, "F" General Commercial, and "CR" Low-Density Multifamily. The largest portion, 117 acres, was proposed for 357 single family homes. Another 11 acres was proposed for commercial use, and 6 acres for multifamily housing.

The case received a positive recommendation from zoning staff, who found the proposed uses to be compatible with surrounding land uses. However, staff commented that the request was inconsistent with the 2023 Comprehensive Plan's future land use designation of Single-Family Residential and Vacant/Undeveloped/Agricultural.

The zoning request was approved unanimously by the Zoning Commission by a vote of 7-0.

At the City Council meeting, the applicant Ron Ramirez briefly presented the concept plan and vision for the development. He thanked city staff for their help navigating the process. No community members spoke for or against the case.

The rezoning request was approved by the City Council with no discussion. The approval demonstrates the Council's support for new development on the periphery of the city, especially when adequate infrastructure is already in place. The developer worked proactively with staff to ensure consistency with the City's annexation policy.
