serve all of you thank you so much anyone else want to say anything any of our wonderful students no you sure okay okay yes no okay very well thank you all very much for coming this evening I know you all have very busy schedules and you could be anywhere but I think the awareness of how important nurse practitioners are to the foundation of Healthcare in Fort Worth and really across the United States is is understated so thank you very much for making time we appreciate you uh next will be a certificate of recognition to the cre family philanthropies uh thank y'all this is the cre family we got Whitney Todd you got Colt case and kicks I really wanted to do this uh if you don't know the cre they're great people and they have been a part of the and and really started some things in the philanthropic community and I think for us we wouldn't be Fort Worth I think I can say that for the council if we didn't have our philanthropic communities Step Up time and time again to help us where we need that and so I'll I'll let them speak about what we do and I have a procl or recognition here for them but some of the Charities that they've supported uh you'll know warm the warm place a Child and Family Services lukemia Lymphoma Society cooks children Carter blood care Texas Wildlife Foundation River Tree Academy the net Fort Worth Down syndrome Partnership of North Texas the klyber American Warrior Foundation and the list goes on and on but we uh thank you and thank you for what you're doing I'm going to read this really quickly here it says with the establishment in 2021 KR family fan philanthropies has emerged as a shining symbol of Hope and assistance for individ individuals confronting life altering illnesses and those endeavoring to attain quality education this Phil philanthropic initiative truly exemplifies the unwavering spirit and compassion of its Founders Whitney and Todd creel CR family philanthropy serves as a it gets harder to read without as you get older kids I'm just telling you without glasses serves as a vital bridge between two crucial missions revealing that education and the trials posed by life altering illnesses impact not just individuals but entire families through their altruistic Endeavors Whitney Todd and their team not only Inspire their own children but also future generations to embrace the essence of compassion and generosity today the Krill family philanthropies has established Partnerships with more than 20 organizations and has successfully raised close to a million and a half dollars through their diligent fundraising Endeavors I commend Krill family philanthropies for their steadfast commitment to fostering multigenerational engagement and their exceptional support for Community organizations that prioritize education and the well-being of those affected by life altering itness illnesses thank you'all very much I let's give him a hand and I'd love to if you want to say a few words about what you're doing and how you're inspiring the community sure uh first like to thank you counc MC crane for having us out tonight um I feel very blessed to be here and I also want to thank uh people Kate and Lindsay and the rest of our friends that came tonight and then kind of make this thing go around you know whenever we started this philanthropy we had a couple of goals in mind and that was to give back to the community but also to instill a sense of giving in our children and I think that you know in today's society that it's very important for us to continue to give back and I'm a firm believer that that starts when they're very young if you can plant that seed when they're young and let it grow then um you know when they get older they'll um be a A plus to society um my part of the philanthropy is the education part I'm a firm believer that there there should be no um child that's held back or or doesn't have a chance at a successful um career because lack of Education whether it's cost or or whatever it is and so I think that um what we're trying to do is is is get opportunities where opportunities are needed and we have a event coming up the warm hearts of winter that is more of a giving back with your time in hands than it is more of a fundraiser and U I'll let Whitney talk more about that well I will Echo his sentiments and thank you for having us tonight and thank you to our team we wouldn't be here without y'all ites everybody to make it um go around but yes warm hearts of winter consider this your extended invitation it is a familyfriendly event on December 9th uh Ben offending communities and schools so if you're not familiar with that organization I encourage you to um look them up there wonderful and it's going to be a great day of fun um my side of the philanthropy is the life altering illnesses I lost my mother to uh lymphoma and um after that happened I just decided I wanted to make a difference and so our countdown Summers sare was born uh we've raised quite a bit of money for the lukeman Lymphoma Society through that and it's been wonderful so um there's nothing that brings us more joy than giving back and we hope to continue doing that and also um instill it in our children so thank you for having us tonight thank you yes and this is taking pict with children thank You' thanks for being here supp K family thank you all for

items withdrawn from the consent agenda or continued or withdrawn by staff thank you we have two items to be withdrawn one is MNC 23- 0959 and the second is MNC 23- 0982 mayor next will be the speakers on the consent agenda and I believe we have to thank you Janette our first speaker is Adrien Smith followed by James Smith yes Adrien Smith I am one with the people MMC 23972 for those who have uh paperwork or documentation to follow follow along the gist the gist of this particular MMC is to replace the cast iron water lines at f fth Avenue hmac Avenue in little Page Street uh also to include uh William Williams Reed Road through Sandy Lane now what I just stated was a was was um discussed on a previous uh MMC MMC 23919 but this this current updated one has added a portion uh to this particular project and that portion is to be the Elliot reita Road from Halton Road to East deed road now what I'm what I'm calling to uh ask my council member about this language states that uh there is to be removal from this particular project of fword Avenue hmch Avenue and little page street so my thing is this are we what are we what are we removing because if it's anything marked for this community to be done it needs to be done it needs to be done and it needs to be completed there's no reason to uh take something that was already designated and uh put it on a back burner you know what I'm saying so to my council member I'm trying to help me to understand what it is we're doing here before you all make this vote and this is in uh an interlock agreement with Taran County precent one I know this particular agenda item encompasses Council district 6 which was previously three in uh parts of council District 11 which was previously five so as it relates to Teran County prec one and I'm not trying to put you on the spot Miss uh Council uh Council representative Martinez but doesn't she have to recuse herself from this vote considering she is a uh she works directly with Taran County uh Precinct one and if she doesn't I would like I would like an expolation as to why she doesn't from either the chair or the uh City attorney again to my council member there's no need for anything to be taken off the table as it relates to district 6 or this community in a community I speak of for those who who might be in the dark about it I'm speaking about the Como community so my council member you you know you've already been put on notice placed on notice so I ask you before you all make this vote if if if M council member Martini says to recuse you all have to vote on this separately from this whole uh glant of uh this one one-sided one down vote that you all about to do that uh council member Williams thank you mayor and thank you Adrien for the comment I do know exactly what you mean and in anticipation of that um and also anticipation of um questions from our community I had um our director tpw Lauren prier to come up to explain this um it is without doubt we need those roads done and we are going to get those roads done and here's your answer yes thank you for the question we certainly appreciate the opportunity to make a clarification uh so Farnsworth Avenue helmick Avenue and little Page Street will be removed from this uh interlocal agreement with tarant County to resurface the roadways as stated in the MNC they do require uh cast iron replacement so these streets will undergo design where anticipated to bring the design agreement to council for their approval in January of 2024 this will require roughly a six to 9month duration for design then these will be scheduled to go to Construction in early of 2025 also with the the pavement improvements in addition to the cast iron replacement thank you Lauren um and just to reiterate um it wouldn't make sense to repay the roads and then have to come back up and um dig up the roads to replace the pipes and so we're going to not only fix the roads but fix the pipes as well um and just to put on a record Adrian you can always reach out to our office um you know the number and you know the email and I love being served notice um give me a call thank you Lauren appreciate it our next speaker is James Smith is Mr Smith here I haven't seen him has any the Marshall seen Mr Smith no okay I think that's the conclusion of our speakers on the consent agenda Council I can

staff that made this happen too Fernando Victor Turner everybody else that's sort of been apart from this from the beginning I appreciate it thank you Council lorf all right so we just had our first town hall and I didn't count everyone but I think we had thousands and thousands of people so I think we win for the biggest town hall so far um some of the biggest takeaways was the fact that you had to walk like 16 miles down a long hallway which means we really need a community center so we're going to continue to fight for that in North uh homeless camps and the clean CLE up that came up quite a bit as well uh and of course just like everyone else just an increase in police presence which I know our Police Department is doing an amazing job at uh trying to help us out with that the biggest takeaway though is it's really hard for people to be big mad when there's tacos so yes we had JJ's tacos come out and feed everyone there so to my colleagues if you want to keep the the crowd uh a little less Rowdy just bring out some tacos next slide so uh this back to lonar elementary school these are just a few of the photos from their Veterans Day thing first of all they had the breakfast

you Cindy Council our next speaker is Laticia Wilburn followed by Richard Perez and just for clarification it looks like the rest of our speakers on non-consent items Council are all pertaining to the 2023 comprehensive plan ordinance Miss Wilber okay I just want to say you know living in a black community that has perfect location when you buy a home you look for location location location if you're in a white Community you're rewarded for it if you're in a black and brown community you're punished for it in my community of echo Heights we're 5 minutes from 30 we're located at 287 820 and 20 now we've come before you guys many times you have worked to try to improve the comprehensive plan but you have not done enough there's still too much Industrial in the pollute in the community y'all have also done what's considered a partide zoning y'all have taken part of this community and giving it to change the name to Sun Valley P y''s public improvement district for us is pollution illness and death this community has a high death rate it has a low life expectancy it has a high rate of asthma High rate of people with high blood pressure miscarriages we have three neighbors right next to each other all with kidney elements that's no mistake that is real now you all practice also practice exclusion Arizona and I'm looking at y'all Smiles on y'all face so this is funny to y'all but it is not funny to me because I live there and I know that mayor Parker I'm not picking on you but I've asked for restaurants and you've said in an industrial area that's exclusionary zoning you guys also practice segregation zoning there is nothing good comes to this community when I look at y'all zoning plan y'all are still displacing people y'all are still this city is in trouble with the government for pollution y'all have all of these industries in this small community even y'all even going to right by part of a mobile home Community under y'all's plan y'all picking on people that don't have a lot of money like the city does so when y'all guys come to these communities and y'all look at stuff and y'all say oh these black and brown people they're not going to care well we care y'all might not care looking at y'all faces but we care this city has should be respectable but it has a rasist past it's never been called down on this red lining and it's just terrible that this city that's in trouble for the government put thousands of trucks in one Community didn't consider particulate matter didn't consider the lives and health of the people that live in these communities the only thing y'all see is black and brown people that y'all don't consider human and y'all see green that y'all consider money but we matter and y'all going have to look at us and see that we matter and I know uh Miss Martinez you said y'all were going to pass this but y'all still need to make some changes and y'all need to get with us to do a moratorium y'all have downsized our community that some valed is Echo Heights our next speaker is Mr Richard Perez followed by Jim sherbeck that good evening uh Council staff mayor uh I'm Richard Perez 1400 North Commerce Street also a member of the environmental Coalition of communities I just wanted to share an article with you that parallels some of the uh concerns that our Environmental Group is focused on with Echo Heights and uh stop six uh this is an archival article I wanted to share with you uh this is from 1991 and this is written by Jeff wi Star Telegram also an award-winning uh bookwriter and it illustrates and it it has quotes from my dad who who stood here 30 years ago with concerns about encroachment of businesses into our neighborhood uh right behind the rosemarine theater um back then there were some unscrupulous businesses and there was also some planed development there and it was encroaching there were some Lots rather in our neighborhood and there was a lot of uh prospects there and the businesses wanted to get those lots for parking because it's a premium on 1400 North Commerce Street now the environmental impact really wasn't spoken much then but the encroachment of businesses into our residential area was a concern uh but I wanted I wanted to bring this uh article to light it's a it's an old article because it was a collaboration between my dad and this city council back then there was another Carlos in District 2 Carlos Puente he worked with my dad along with the city planner Bruce McLendon and they came up with an idea to uh work out a deal with the the businesses um and actually to get a vote for the the zoning to change our neighborhood was not what it is now it was more of a pepper type of uh mixed use that could allow for uh business encroachment but uh working together uh that collaboration um they were able to come to a nice solution uh that solution was to get uh the entire neighborhood zoned residential B I believe most of it anyway uh just a side note on the end of the article there there was a little bit of infighting within that that city council back then and maybe some uh lack of knowledge of the area the council but if you look at the final slide this is where I live now this is right behind the rosem Marine theater there's a lot of industrialization there but for the most part it's be residential uh that collaboration uh between the city and the my dad and the residents there came up with a really nice solution that protected the the environment and the uh the residencies for us uh with that being said everyone just have a good happy holidays and a Happy Thanksgiving thank you thank you Mr Perez our next speaker is Mr Jim sherbeck followed by Adrien Smith how Jim sherbeck environmental Coalition of communities here in Fort Worth I want to congratulate the council and the staff for passing this 2023 comp prehensive plan with a whole 48 days left in the year um and we're only months away from public engagement for the 2050 plan so this is a very short shelf life and it's admittedly because it's November now it's been a struggle to get here but not one without significant progress on all fronts I don't believe we recognize the concessions made by the city that pull back the boundaries of this kind of Insidious industrial growth Center that we believe is a bad idea in general and especially bad idea here in Echo Heights thank you for protecting the WM green school and the mobile home park pushing the southern boundary back and I understand there have been promises made about land around the the cray Center as well that came only after Community opposition to what the city had done the last 10 years without much notice and I think this came as a surprise to you and certainly to the neighborhood and we've gotten over that surprise now the last six or seven months or so these are good starting points but they are the edges of a problem and do not address the fundamentals of the problem and looking ahead to the 2050 plan we would ask that you provide the neighborhoods not only here but throughout the city with a solid boundary a buffer boundary between industrial and residential uses this should be a goal of the 2050 plan to eradicate industrial adjacency as it is in Dallas there are just too many places on this current plan where residential homes row up against light or heavy industry and in your definition of light that covers a lot of sins including batch plants rendering plants and so on so light is not necessarily a good prescription for these neighborhoods secondly I would just ask for an honest Embrace and incorporation of environmental justice as a goal for this 2050 plan folks it's the 21st century you're out of the mainstream by not putting this explicitly in your plan nowhere is this language found online line or in the planning material and I would just ask you to go about your business this next year for 2050 that you think about what it was like in 1950 and try to imagine then the legacy of that segregation continuing on for another hundred years no you have a chance to put an end to this now please include this as a goal finally start a new relationship with the community have regular Communications with them check in with them early chicken with all of us early this helped this last week or so I think it will help again time and again this idea came about because of maps highway maps it looked like a good idea on highway maps it's a bad idea from a neighborhood perspective though and I believe through that WIS we can get to better planning for the entire city thank you very much thank you Mr sherbeck our next speaker is Adrien Smith by phone Adrian will be followed by martesa James whereas whereas the 2022 comprehensive plan includes without limitation provisions on land use housing parks and Community Services libraries Human Services neighborhood capacity building Economic Development Economic Development Economic Development Transportation education historic preservation Urban Design arts and culture Police Services fire in emergency service Environmental Quality Environmental Quality Environmental Quality Public Health Public Health public health and Municipal facilities the con the comprehensive plan we truly know that all doesn't mean y'all within Fort Worth it's time for this Council it's time for the council districts that have been disregarded disrespected and denied equal access for Capital Investments to receive what Stires it's time for elected officials to honor the positions of service they've been put in there's no room for anything else otherwise it's time for the collective will of the people which hold the power to hold accountable those in which they have chosen to represent them two options we vote them in we can vote them out to council member nles in District 8 to council member Williams in district 6 to council member Martinez in District 11 and to the absent council member Gina B in District 5 your communities our communities are the ones that have been denied for denied the longest as relates to anything that that is viable for the success sustainability of a community or a people within a community so it's up to you for to step up and do what's necessary for your constituents because your your your counter Parts trust me they are doing whatever they need to do for their constituents in their communities and we know a lot of their communities are consider the affluent communities but you for have an obligation a greater obligation to your communities because your communities are the communities that have been denied the longest and Miss Martinez as it relates to the stop six and Echo Heights quarter we know that Gina Biv is the Catalyst for a lot of this ongoing Behavior you have a CH you have an opportunity to be different than she was she served for 10 years and did nothing you have an opportunity to make a difference ma'am you need to be the one to help make a difference in this Community do better mayor do better city council that's the last of our speakers from Mr Smith um next is martesa James followed by Mr John McFarland well we you no unfortunately can we maybe we can help you down here because you have to be at the microphone or no one can hear you or see you as it's um recorded thank you a that sucks okay well the first photo is just simply showing Miss te's backyard and where the trucking company is literally in her backyard and Echo Heist is in an area in which we are in fact flooded with industrial businesses and I do appreciate you Miss Martinez for coming to hear us out about all of our issues we've been having and being punctual with responding back to emails as well um although we had a short window to try to make preparation we do appreciate it and thank you for hearing us out and considering our voices after we've pushed so hard for that to be heard um the boundaries that we are looking at right now um You can slide down a little more like uh instead of Can you can you guys see it yes okay so instead of the industrial companies are lying more into our area and when you are considering the new comprehens of plan can we take into account our neighborhood and how it looks now our infrastructure is horrible we have Pooles everywhere at this point I have messed up two tires and I just got the car not too long ago and I'm always running into Nails in the neighborhood we also recently just had a tree to fall down in the neighborhood as well and instead of continuing to bring more of these trucks more of these companies and which we're professing profusely about not including in our neighborhood if we could just work on bettering our neighborhood all together we only have one street light on the top Street and it's on my end you can slide it one more time oh no no down sorry right here we see a tree and this was taken this morning if you can see it and then if you can slide down a little more please these are photos that have been taken from the spring up until now we have no lights in our area we have no sidewalks and granted we have the sidewalks that are down by W green there there's none over here where the trucks are turning from Parker Henderson or when they're coming down on Martin Street and so take this into consideration for our new comprehensive plan because where it is we're adding more companies the people the neighborhood the families the kids need to be taken into consideration thank you thank you Mrs James next is John McFarland followed by Spencer Dickinson hello John mcfarling greater forward sier Club 20104 Washington Avenue 76110 uh the Sierra Club is a member of the Fort Worth environmental Coalition of communities just like the other organizations present especially Echo Heights stop six environmental Coalition who we are collaborating with and endorsing I endorse and Echo everything that's been said before me uh there were some good things that happened in the last year it's been a long year uh but we've done some minor some minor changes to the conference of plan uh knowing that there's only a couple months left before the before the 2050 plan engagement public engagement starts so that's that's good we protected the WM Green Elementary School for now we protected the Willis Springs mobile home park and done some other things but for the 2050 plan we're going to hold the city council accountable uh first first we're asking right now for the city council to approve an ordinance or amend the current ordinance putting in place a temporary moratorium on all new industrial resoning I've sent an email several months ago got no response but we are going to hold your feet to the fire about that several cities in America in the US have done this they've passed an ordinance or amended the their existing zoning ordinance to um to put in place a moratorium for six months to a year so Planning and Zoning issues can be uh studied and worked out so we're requesting this this moratorium be in place until such time that the 2050 comprehensive plan is approved further we're asking that the industrial growth Center be further reduced the name industrial growth Center removed and to better protect the echo Heights and surrounding neighborhoods and create undeveloped natural buffer zones between residential and the and the igc or industrial growth Center also as Mr sherbeck stated environmental justice must be integrated into the 2050 plan recognizing that communities of color are disproportionately affected by Industrial Development air and water pollution and damage to infrastructure such as such as crumbling streets like martasia just mentioned due to all the trucking all the heavy trucks industrial land uses near these communities must be prohibited and the industrial growth Center must be reduced and strict boundaries and buffer zones must be in place that separate residential and Industrial so I look forward to all the public engagement that's been promised next year for the 2050 plan and we'll be at every meeting thanks thank you Mr M Farland our next speaker is Spencer [Music] Dickinson Spencer will be followed by Jackie Cox council members mayor Parker my name is Spencer Dickinson I'm a resident of tarant County I work in Fort Worth and I am also a member of the greater Fort Worth sier club and participate in the act activities of the environmental committee i' I'd like to briefly add my acknowledgement to this uh committee on uh this Council on the comprehensive plan and an acknowledgement for the process an acknowledgement for the output the the process was improved in that you engaged the communities involved and you uh and your staff were amenable to changes thank you very much for that and in my opinion there is an acknowledgment of human health issues greater in this comprehensive plan than we've seen in the past in fact it is in the public health section there's the quote I know you all know it by heart human health and the built environment are inextricably linked I like that I agree with that although as a Sierra Club member I would say also human health and the natural environment are inext inext ably linked it's difficult to say fast uh perhaps we'll work on that in the future anyway I I want to come back and say I want to acknowledge the council and the city uh on the comprehensive plan and the effort to engage and listen to input and as my colleague John just articulated we need to ensure the next step as we go into the next comprehensive plan that we are going to do the hard work to further the efforts and uh that that have been accomplished in this comprehensive plan and that means reducing industrialization in vulner vulnerable communities like in Echo Heights promoting sustainability throughout the works of the city in everything that we do and certainly I know that we will want to be a part of that thank you very much thank you Spencer our next speaker is Jackie Cox so I car my little sign about environmental justice so I can talk to you about what I think it means and how it goes further than what this comprehensive plan has done I think the comprehensive plan was a good thing in the sense that you actually made concessions to some people whose lives were going to be negatively impacted by the addition of another truck plant by their elementary school but it doesn't fix the fact that there are still several truck plants very close to the elementary school and it doesn't fix the fact that it's not a healthy place to breathe and you have a lot of water pollution that comes from Industrial Waste being dumped in the neighborhood so there's a lot still to do and I'm hopeful because some of you I know really take seriously the need to protect your neighborhoods so I'm hopeful that you will try to find ways to do that I know that the Texas legislature just made it harder because they say that everything that has to do with re regulating Industrial Waste is exclusively the province of the Texas CAC and you can't do anything to intrude there but you could provide investigators you could have people out taking water samples you could take have people out taking air samples you could put Machinery out that takes the air samples there are things you can do to help and protect our neighborhoods where people are more in danger because they're closer and all you you will also be protecting all of us because pollution is a thing that doesn't stay confined in one place it runs down into the river into our wastewater treatment plant and it floats across in the sky and impacts all of us so congratulations on having done a few small things in your land use planning and having done a few small things in your environmental planning and please commit yourselves going forward to take more action to do more good for more folk thank you thank you Miss Cox Council that's the conclusion of our speakers on the non-consent agenda items I don't have you signed up Miss Tina if you want to bring it down to City secretary's office we'll let them work on that you can keep moving Janette okay I'm saying come down and talk to them and show them your your screenshot and I'll fix it we're just going to keep moving through the agenda nothing's dirty don't worry go ahead Janette

Russell for her amazing service to district 6 we're so grateful for um um her service and I'm really excited about all that she did for us um over the years so thank you thank you got a motion a second councel please vote motion carries perfect mayor next is item 23771 thank you uh before we have um our staff report from Eric flater Miss James I'll have you speak you can have your three minutes now be okay this is on the comprehensive plan um thank you so as y'all are aware we've actually set up several meetings with the city starting from January the 25th to February the 21st March 10th March 21st June 12th July 25th August the 8th as well of September the 28th all the way until now as it relates to also sending in information uh with requests and demands as it relates to redefining and tweaking the uh comprehensive plan regarding the situations that are at hand that we're speaking about um the zoning that needs to be reformed uh as well needed not just in the Echo Heights area and I know that it's a world it's a whole city plan that's put together but the environmental race is one of the black and brown communities that would probably have nothing to say or little to say in a form of resistance as a city came through and change different things over in the community to create and allow more industrial companies and pollutions and communities that have been given a death sentence basically Zone dead so when we go back and look at things as it relates to what's going on you basically have already set us back up in the uh Jim Crow law of racism when it comes to uh the environmental situation with the comprehensive plan we're just asking that you take in consideration what we are dealing with and one of the things also so I wanted to make sure that I charge each and every one of y'all with when someone comes through and apply for zoning or apply for different things that happen in different communities and cities that y'all take the time out of y' busy schedules to drive through those communities and actually look and think to yourself is this something that I would let in my neighborhood is this something I would want around my school or my children but if y'all children go to private school then it really wouldn't be a problem because those are set off by themselves anyways but with that being said just take the time as if when um Leon Capital had gotten approval by Council and Zoning to put an 18wheeler trucking company in front of an elementary school 152 ft from the front door and if it wasn't for us putting the Coalition together and coming down here and fighting it it had already been approved then it was set off for a 30- day then it was set off for another 30day and then finally dismissed with prejudice so all I'm asking is y'all to take the time and do your due diligence and come out and pay attention to what's going on in the community that you selected to say you be a part of and take care of and support as you asked for our votes to be sitting in those seats as we walked into the voting poles voting is a right that we actually like to exercise and at this moment it seems like we have no choice but to take the uh bottom of the Crim D Crim or whatever you want to call it so mayor Parker we're asking you to take the time to come out and drive to the neighborhoods yourself and see what we're talking about thank you Council that's the conclusion of our speakers we'll now move to the staff report from Eric flater okay well um mayor and council members um appreciate the opportunity to be here you've heard quite a lot from the community that's been very engaged in this uh component of the 2023 comprensive plan uh and they've actually uh covered some of the material that I was going to share so I'll try and move through quickly uh this is a timeline on the 2023 uh adoption process and we started at the beginning of the year with the city plan commission and the work that they did to review and to make a recommendation to council um the we met with the echo Heights community on March 10th March 21st was your first public hearing on the 2023 comprehensive plan you voted to adopt the plan with the exception of the land use chapter chapter 4 and the appendex that contain all of the future land use maps and their Associated land use policies uh we came back uh with uh in June and July had additional meetings as you've heard from community members uh and then came back to you again in August August 8th uh you held another public hearing and you adopted chapter 4 You adopted the entirety of the uh appendic with future land use maps with the exception of the southeast sector future land use map and policies uh and that is what is before you today uh on the agenda and uh and addressed by the ordinance that's that's before you uh we did hold a couple of additional meetings in September and October uh openhouse meetings during this process working with the community we've made a number of changes as as you've heard a bit about uh this is sort of a quick summary this dark blue area that you see on the maps is in fact the industrial growth Center that you've heard about from the community members uh through changes working with the community uh and the council member council member Martinez we've uh actually reduced the industrial growth Center uh from uh 671 acres to 562 Acres so that's a reduction of 109 Acres uh from that industrial growth Center so a pretty significant drop there uh We've made specific specific changes and I'll just show you a few of those uh this is actually not even included in the industrial growth Center reduction this is just a light industrial designation the purple that you see uh we are proposing to remove that light industrial designation from this strip uh and you've heard from Miss wilborne sure her house is actually behind uh the trucking operation that you can actually see in the center of that light industrial so uh the proposal is to just change it to single family residential to convey to the community to developers that uh this is an area that we would we would want to see developed as single family residential and not as industrial uses uh in this in this uh slide you're seeing uh on the left uh the adopted light Industrial in the purple the dark blue industrial growth Center on the right are the changes that we have made in in this current proposal uh the mobile home park that you'd heard uh mentioned earlier we're changing uh to the manufactured housing designation that is uh within the city's comprehensive plan uh and then below that you can see the orange color on the right the low density residential designation uh and in addition to that a strip of uh vacant undeveloped agriculture along the eastern boundary you've heard about the request for buffers this is in fact what this is intending to do is to separate future residential development from the existing Industrial Development uh that is there and then just south of that you can see that light blue that is the Green Elementary School uh you've heard mentioned the change to protect that school uh and that is what you're seeing on the left you saw see that as light purple uh that light industrial designation on the right it's changed to vacant undeveloped agricultural uh so that surround rounds that school with non-industrial uh designations so moving North uh just north of 287 this is actually really in the Village Creek neighborhood association area but it's part of the industrial growth Center on the left the industrial growth Center that dark blue uh on the right that modification uh to provide for low density residential and medium density residential uh the uh Community Center is actually just to the uh west of there just north of that other medium density residential site and uh in addition to the map changes we've got a couple policy changes the the image that you see here on the right is in fact that one page that this ordinance tonight is addressing uh the industrial or the um uh the map showing the reduction in the industrial growth Center on the left and in the policy column in the center you're seeing the changes that we're making to the policies that are associated with this specific location uh the first is prevent expansion of the adopted 2023 Lup a20 East US 287 industrial growth Center boundary so that's once this is adopted with the reduction of 109 Acres that would be the new boundary that would be identified and uh and prevented from expanding further and then in addition to that uh uh new version of number 16 uh promote compatible commercial and Industrial Development within the loop a20 within that growth Center that remains and one of the things we wanted to clarify is that industrial growth centers in fact are intended to accommodate commercial development as well uh so we wanted to make sure that was called out in the policy specifically so our recommendation uh is that City Council vote to approve the proposed 2023 comprehensive plan Southeast plan planning sector future Lane use map and policies and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have thank you Eric questions from Council councilor Martinez um can you speak about the there was a comment made that the new comprehensive plan was going to wipe out a mobile Community what can you speak to that um what I suspect that was was related to the change in the map on this slide uh and actually it's not wiping out a mobile home Community it's actually protecting it and one of the reasons that we want to do that is that affordable housing has become a huge issue for the city it's a huge issue across the Metroplex we've got a lot of growth coming in we have very limited affordable housing manufactured home parks like this are excellent opportunities to provide that that lower cost housing um and and it's clear you know 10 years ago if you looked at this area there would there would have been some of those mobile home parks in the area that were you know half to 2third full now they're completely full um so it's just a testament to the need for that affordable housing so we're not we're not removing we're just protecting any other questions from councelor Martinez councelor Nettles um I wasn't counting first but when she brought it up it brought me to that uh the changes that you have made since the community meetings that you have had roughly is about 10 changes maybe to the to the uh to the map that you have shown us tonight and those changes that you made directly came from participation with listening to the community that's here tonight yes that that that engagement and that communication over that extended period uh was very helpful uh they identified they basically shared their concerns and kept sharing those concerns and that set us to work looking for ways that we could address those concerns thank you did a good job appreciate it Council Williams thank you mayor um Eric thank you for all the hard work that You' have done on the comprehensive plan um it's not a question you should um answer tonight but in the next comprehensive plan um I would like to better understand um what an appropriate buffer zone is between industrial um and residential uses and so um this we're we're at the point where we need to approve this plan um but we're right on the um right on the hills of the next comprehensive plan which is more of a long range plan than this current iteration will be and so I would like to see that because clearly industrial and residential um don't mix and we need to um I would personally like to know what a good buffer zone um looks like in the future yeah we'd be happy to have those conversations with you thank you council member martinz just before I make a motion I just wanted to thank you Eric and your staff and all the other departments that were there at those public workshops and to the neighbors and and U other folks that you know came to those meetings just thank you for your input you know and and really kudos to you as well being newon Council and taking this issue on and spending countless hours and making sure you were committed personally to helping the echo Heights Community to Eric flater and your staff of course to Cody Wittenberg to city attorney's office to Dana bergd we've all been in numerous public meetings specifically in this community but understanding the entire city was really a part of this discussion especially as we head into the 2050 comprehensive plan U my colleagues pointed out a few very important um items in tonight's discussion but I do want to make some distinctions um first want to thank the community members that came tonight to point out the things that are going right this may be imperfect but I think we've taken some important steps forward um unfortunately some of the rhetoric included zoning AP paride the return of Jim Crow and a racist city council I'm here to tell you that is very far from the truth and I'm very proud of this Council for making very significant changes including the creation of the city of for's first e environmental Department led by Dr Cody witberg this is a commitment by the entire Council not just for one neighborhood but by the entire city most of the decisions that created the problems we have in Echo heights were created before I was born and much of this council is included in that it will take time and a careful partnership not just by this Council but also by the private sector the private businesses that own land in this area as we continue to down Zone appropriately and create buffers in our residential areas the concessions include the following over 100 acres reserved for either agriculture or for residential space protections for affordable housings the affordable housing the dozens of community meetings held in various places across the city of Fort Worth to make sure we made the right concessions that are really articulated here tonight and I already mentioned the creation environmental department and I know that Cody is just getting started on the importance of this department whether you call it environmental justice environmental stewardship I don't really care it's imperative that the largest fastest growing city in the entire country focus on these issues and I just want to say thank you to the city staff that worked so tirelessly to get to this one piece here this evening um my Council these are hard issues for each of us to face um and sometimes the rhetoric is very unfair but just know that I'm very proud of the hard work we're doing together and I think we're all excited by the work that Eric will lead us in in the spring as we look to the future of the city of Fort Worth and the correct a comprehensive plan for the future growth of this city thank you please vote it is I agree let's go ahead go ahead Chris uh thank you uh mayor for for those comments um and I think if we're listening uh completely to the comments that we listening um the word about number one don't care is about it doesn't matter what you call it we understand what it is and this council is very aware because if we did not care when he put the slot up there in March we could have voted for this plan and moved on with our business but be okay I have the mic you're in the audience and now you're out of uh control out of order you're out of order um so I think it's important that we understand that this mayor and this Council understands the community needs and I want to address another thing because I I think this is the same project Michael that you and I went to look at it's not in our district but we went and met with that group and heard the concerns of the community uh back in the spring uh so we I think it's fair to say that we do go out to our districts and even things that are not in our district to make sure that the city of for work residents do matter and so we don't always put things on social media Facebook of how we work but just because it's not shown to you does not mean it's not happening and so I do want to take Kudos thank you Michael for joining me I think we met Miss pal out there and a uh the neighborhood association to talk about the uh environment that happened to the school that was never approved by the city council it was never ever approved actually it was denied and so I I I I appreciate the comments that the mayor made and I thank this Council and I just want to make sure that you know that we have heard your concerns and we look forward to working with you in the next uh comprehensive plan moving forward those are the comments I wanted to make thank you councel

Council please vote carries thank you Justin awesome thank you next is MNC 23990 with report by Joel mhany evening mayor and members of the council I'm Joel Melaney assistant director of Park and Recreation Department during the 88th legislative session the Texas legislature passed House Bill 1526 and Governor Abbott signed the bill and the law in June of 2023 House Bill 1526 amended chapter 212 of the Texas local government code creating regulations Parkland dedication for multif family developments and hotel motel developments the bill only applies to cities with the population over 800,000 of which Fort Worth is one city of Fort Worth has a neighborhood Community Park dedication policy this policy was originally adopted back in 1977 and the most recent update was adopted by the city council in January of 2019 the purpose of this emnc is for the city council to authorize adoption of updates to the neighborhood and Community Park dedication policy to meet the requirements of the house bill um as it pertains to multifam Parkland dedications the city currently does not have a park Clan dedication requirement for hotel motel and we are not asking the city council to adopt this requirement let's see go the city council is required to take uh three actions pertaining to House Bill 1526 establish the Suburban Urban and Central business district areas for the purpose of calculating average land value adopt a TW a dwelling unit factor which reflects the required number of acres per dwelling unit adopt a density factor which reflects the diminishing expectation of Parkland per dwelling unit in dense Urban environments so these are the municipal areas that have uh are included in the MNC um in developing these uh these boundaries our staff worked with the Fort Worth lab and also presented this the development advisory committee uh Fort Worth near Southside Inc and downtown Fort Worth Inc to get their input and their support ultimately for these for these boundaries this is zooming in so Suburban in the green and then U Zooms in on the uh urban area which includes near Southside West 7th and the future Panther Island area Central business district is in dark blue so the next two actions required by the house bill that I mentioned are establishing a multi-well in unit Factor the bill puts a ceiling or a cap on what can be assessed and that is 0.005 acres per unit currently we're at 014 acres per unit so this is a reduction in the amount of Parkland that we're able to uh assess uh in our policy but it it but we are meeting that state requirement next is that multi density factor a little tougher to get your head around but it establishes a divider for the formula so you run the formula on what the Parkland dedication requirement is and because land is more scarce and urban areas they're more built out and more scarce in central business district area there's a divider for development in that area so in the Suburban areas you run the equation and the divider is one and that that basically is the your the development would be assessed what the calculation is for Parkland in urban areas it is four so the the calculation divided by four in central business district it's divided by 40 and again these are all uh limits set by the state bill um upon Council adoption appraisal districts are required to calculate average land values for each Municipal area in that Suburban Urban and Central business district and the new law will apply to multif family applications made to the city beginning on January 1st 24 staff request that upon hearing public comment city council close a public hearing and approve the MNC adopting the ordinance thank you Joel any questions from Council no with that I think we can entertain a motion to close a public hearing anybody I think we have an advanced agenda item if youall want to go to the next we're still stuck on 0955 there you go thank you move the close the public hearing and act upon that to approve Motion in a second please vote where's the coffee it's Justin's fault there we go Motion carries thank you all next Council will be a report from Stuart Campbell on items 23777 0779 078 and then we will take action on the individual items thank you Stuart mayor uh council members um as just mentioned uh I have the next three items uh there's simple public hearings on road rideway annexations uh I provided the um Advanced copies to the council members of their districts uh what I'd like to do is give one staff report and generally give you an idea of what the annexation is about and we can do individual motions on the particular request that's okay so as I mentioned the next three items uh this is um what we have to do is we have two public hearings that are required to take place for the city to Annex right away and so tonight will be the first public hearing we'll have a second public hearing that will be on November 28th and then we're going to come back before you on December 12th with the actual ordinance Annex the right away back into the city okay so as far as uh tonight this first public hearing is intended to allow residents to make comments on the proposed these are City initiated full purpose annexations um as I mentioned December 12th city council will bring back before you three separate ordinances to approve the annexations um each of those will be uh specifically related to the items that I'll describe here shortly uh the city's annexation policy stat states that the city will Annex rideways that is adjacent to and provides access to property within the city in addition these three separate um these separate RightWay segments are already classified as major arterials and are designated as neighborhood connectors in the city's master thare plan and it's critical that the streets be built and maintained to the City Fort Worth standards each of these Road segments meets the criteria as defined in the MTP U many of the adjacent properties to these right of ways already existing within the Fort Worth limits and the surrounding area currently experienced Urban Development staff has determined that the city is able to provide Municipal Services upon annexation in accordance with State Law Without negatively impacting services and Provisions within the city annexation of these right of ways is cons consistent with the city's annexation policy as I mentioned before a schedule and exhibit and legal descriptions are posted on the development services website a second public hearing is scheduled for November 28th city council meeting the approval of the annexation of these three RightWay segments is anticipated to occur on December 12th 2023 so i' like to do is I'm going to give you a brief description of each one of the RightWay segments so the first one is Willis Springs Willis Springs is the annexation of approximately 4.82 five acres of rideway it's in the far Northwest planning sector this site is situated within the extr extr territorial jurisdiction in the city of Fort Worth and is located east of Highway 287 and north of bonds Ranch Road uh that is in Council district 10 second is wagley Robinson right away this is um going to be in council member Hills district this is the annexation of approximately 2595 Acres of wagley Robinson RightWay it's in the far Northwest planning sector site is situation situated within the extr territorial jurisdiction of the city of Fort Worth and is located south of future Heritage traced and east of Highway 287 and the third segment is West

like you're like the real life Monopoly man so I consider District Four and district 10 of that Monopoly world to be the park place in the uh the uh the boardwalk of Fort Worth if you will so thanks for bringing your business up to for worth with that I move to approve Motion in a second please vote motion carries next is zc- 23-141 Council Martinez move to approve motion a second please vote motion carries next is zc- 23-42 motion to approve motion a second please vote motion carries next is zc- 23-1 147 council member lar dorf sorry I was zoned out there because we didn't get that coffee earlier so I know everyone's but uh this was an important one I want to talk about just for a brief moment so first of all Mr Terell to you and your family thank you for coming in um there was some opposition to this which is a conditional use permit for U for a tattoo studio in this um shopping center if you will I live less than a mile away from it uh so I'm very familiar with the area the opposition whenever I ask them because how I do things I I'm fact-based uh they just said it was undesirable business when I asked why there were no facts as to why it was undesirable I think that was really based off preconceived notions so I think in this case whenever it's you know we hear the word conditional I want to bring up the word unconditional and that's acceptance I mean here we are in 2023 and I think just because one resident may look at another and they see tattoos or they see piercings they have this preconceived notion of who they are and what they're about but to those who who think that person is rough around the edges or whatever the case is I invite them to have a have conversation with that person because on the other side of these zoning requests there's a family or there's uh employees who are depending on the approval of it and so I think it's important for us to actually do our due diligence and not always just listen to those Nos and here's why and they can't give those those wise if you were to get to Know Jack You' you'd find that um he actually does a lot of work in the community he does volunteer work uh with Isaiah 117 house which helps foster kids and transition from CPS to foster homes uh and he does that because he was one of those kids at one point and so people look at him and they see tattoos and they just automatically assume oh look this rough guy well they don't know what he's doing in the community so you can look at me and you don't see any tattoos from here but if I take my shirt off and I assure you I will not do that tonight I will not do it go yeah I'm I'm covered in tattoos uh you know my tattoos aren't hurting anybody uh piercings aren't hurting anybody well except for maybe the person getting them at the time but I digress uh but the point is you know here we are in 2023 in the city of Fort Worth we're saying you know all means or y'all means all that goes for those that have body art I mean a lot of my art my art is dedicated to those that were falling overseas uh some of it absolutely meaningless and pointless but guess what it's my art right so the point here though is that for those communities who they have these preconceived notions of undesirable businesses if you can back it up with facts and say well there's been an increase in crime associated with this particular business type then sure that that's something we can talk about the car wash we said no to we went out there I listened to the noise that it would create it would have a detriment detrimental impact on the quality of life for those residents so that's an easy no so in this case where you actually have somebody going against what one one particular neighborhood says we don't want when this this case it goes back to this family who's done a lot in Fort Worth he actually wants to downsize his current business so he can focus on his family and bringing them into the family business and continue operating in fact his previous landlord even gave a letter of recommendation to us here at Council to to approve this so I could go on and on about the things that he's done in the community and preconceived notions but I'll save the preaching for another day with that I move to approve got a motion in a second thank you Charlie please vote Council motion carries next is zc- 23149 Jack beware I think Charlie was just lobbying for free tattoos so don't you think yeah thank you all for being here council member crane yes Braxton Harper I want you to say a collective finally we're at this at your case for your dad here Les thanks for being here tonight thanks for all sitting through it uh I love what you're doing here in this space and bringing some some good um in in investment here to this part of Fort Worth so thanks Les and thanks for working through all the issues and staff and everything that with that I'll move to approve got a motion in a second please vote motion carries next is zc- 23-1 151 move
