2,650-Unit Mixed-use | SEC of Farmer Road & Old Weatherford | Approved

2,650-unit mixed-use planned development with commercial, multifamily residential, and single-family residential uses in a layout not common in Fort Worth.

Rather than the typical FW zoning approach of having separated sections, the developer wants to create a more walkable and pedestrian-friendly community with some commercial amenities like a coffee shop within the residential areas.

Pointed out that they volunteered the concept plan despite not being required to show anything with their requested site plan waiver.

Referred to negative feedback that other recent projects received for requesting site plan waiver without showing a concept plan (CC: Veale Ranch).

Discussed meeting with City Staff over 6 months to create this planned development concept.

They wanted to show the intent and vision while still allowing some flexibility in the final site layout.

Committed to dedicate over 25 acres of open space and parkland (13 acres required).

The proposed concept would keep high intensity commercial uses on the west side near Farmer Road, transitioning to residential on the east side.

The Commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval of the zoning change.

The Commission asked questions regarding the potential lot sizes Commissioner Jacob Wurman, District 10: "You don't intend to do any lots larger than A-5?", and the developer indicated a range of lots from 55 feet wide to more compact 25-30 foot wide lots.
