Building 1 - Classic car storage, sales, repairs and concierge services on the first floor. Cadillac Wines Lounge, wine storage and retail sales on the 2nd and 3rd floors (54,000sq/ft)
Building 2 - Office Building (20,000sq/ft) Frank Kent corporate offices on 2nd and 3rd floor, 1st floor build out to prospective client needs
They are seeking a variance for the height restrictions. Our commercial district is limited to 35' - they are requesting 60'.
They are seeking a variance for the landscaping requirements. Our commercial district requires 20% landscaping they are requesting 18%.
Our zoning ordinances to not grant their use by right - so they are also seeking a Special Use permit.

The current height restriction for commercial and residential buildings in Westworth Village is 35 ft. This height restriction is reasonable and needed as it minimizes impact to NAS flight operations from higher commercial or residential structures around the Naval Air Station. Allowing a 60 ft building in close proximity to the base would have potential impact to flight operations and set a high risk precedent for higher multi-story structures in future development around the base (e.g., Ridgmar Mall redevelopment). I strongly recommend not allowing a deviation from the current 35 ft height restriction for this Westworth Village project. |

Structures vertical height and incompatible development within proximity of NAS JRB FW is an ongoing concern. The city area around NAS JRB FW is considered to be one of the most heavily urbanized, active military air stations within the state, if not the nation. Surrounding municipalities have established practical building codes that not only benefit their growing communities, but serve to mitigate encroachment and safety concerns of the base.
Standardize, approved well-thought-out building codes near the air station provides full transparency to prospective developers, aids to safeguard the current and future military mission at NAS JRB, and ensures to the maximum extent possible the health, safety and welfare of populations within proximity of the installation. NAS JRB FW fully supports Westworth Village council adopted 35 foot maximum structures height within current building codes.
