Project Description: The subject property is located on the IH-30 eastbound service road and the corner of Laredo Street. The site is currently vacant and is zoned “E” Neighborhood Commercial. The applicant is requested a zoning change to “PD/D” Planned Development for “D” High Density Multifamily with development standards for: paving, fencing and parking in front of building, parking count, open space, signage and building orientation, site plan included. The proposed site is located within the NASJRB Airport Overlay. If approved, the applicant would be required to provide sound attenuation to meet the requirements.
The attached site plan shows a three (3) story multifamily complex, with a total of 146 units. The zoning request involves the (i) acquisition of the Express Inn, a 96 room hotel and (ii) renovating the property to convert it into multifamily supportive housing. The existing property has an extensive list of code compliance and deferred maintenance issues. The applicant’s goal is to transform this property into a safe and secure housing community with supportive services that will house families at an affordable price and assist with student mobility issues in the Las Vegas Trail area.

No issue as long as it complies with the FW overlay requirements. |

I am supportive. This is in Fort Worth District 3 (my district) and is a Fort Worth Housing Solutions project. Shoddy motel will be acquired and reimagined as a permanent supportive housing center for families (something we desperately need in our communities. |

Department of Defense Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) compatible use recommendations within the airport noise environment are:
"Multi-family use is discouraged, with the following guidance:
Although local conditions regarding the need for housing may require residential use in these zones, residential use is discouraged in day/night noise level (DNL) 65-70 decibels (dB) and strongly discouraged above DNL 70 dB. The absence of viable alternative development options should be determined, and an evaluation should be conducted locally prior to local approvals.
Evaluations should demonstrate that the community’s need for additional residential property could not be met if development were prohibited in these zones and that the expense of additional noise attenuation will not undermine affordable housing goals.
Where the community determines that these uses must be allowed, measures to achieve outdoor to indoor noise level reduction of at least 25 decibels (dB) in DNL 65-70 and 30 dB in DNL 70-75 should be incorporated into building codes and be considered in individual approvals; for transient housing, a noise reduction level (NLR) of at least 35 dB should be incorporated in DNL 75-80.”
- NAS JRB FW finds no objection.
- The installation concurs with city recommendations to incorporate sound mitigation measures of redesign and construction.
