This is a good idea. I see these projects hit Accela all the time, but not sure where to put them.

If you want to see the actual plats and neighborhood layouts that have been approved, you can go to the City of Fort Worth Plat Directory. It shows the layout of all of the approved plats from recent times. It is searchable for earlier dates than the past 30 days. Here is the link: http://apps.fortwort.../platdirectory/

Something I wish was more common were smaller subdivisions that didn't have large and expensive HOA's. Parks and other features ought to be handled by a local government.

New 490 homesite community on the way near Chisholm Trail Parkway

More from the Dallas Business Journal this week, here's Chisholm Trail Ranch south of McPherson, west of CTP. We've covered the Chisholm Trail Ranch shopping development elsewhere in the forum so I guess this is the residential portion.
New 490 homesite community on the way near Chisholm Trail Parkway
That's so funny. I had drafted a post about Chisholm Trail Ranch earlier today after you created this thread but didn't post it not knowing if it was the residential portion or a mix of commercial and residential. The trick is basically looking through the Commercial Grading Permits on Accela and there's actually quite a few of these developments shown. Part of this development I believe east of CTP is called The Corners at Chisholm Trail Ranch and NEC which I'm assuming is "Northeast Corner" as mentioned in the below PDF. The address on the below grading permit is 9605 OLD GRANBURY RD which is west of CTP. I didn't get a chance to read your article yet but will look here in a while.

Should be Longhorn Trail, I think. Longhorn Road is north of 820, right? Get it right, DR Horton.
"Owner Initiated Full-Purpose Annexation": Does this mean it is unincorporated county land and they're asking the city to annex it and run water/sewer out to it, provide emergency services, etc? Who pays what? What's in it for the city?

It is Longhorn Trail down south where this annexation and development is located. Longhorn Road is north of 820. Owner initiated means that the owner is asking the city to annex their land. I don't know if the owner is going to pay for the infrastructure, but after it is built, it will be up to the city to maintain. The city will also provide emergency services. If you ask what is in it for the city, the only thing I could think of is the tax revenue.

I wonder what the flood potential is of Henrietta Creek because it seems awfully close to this development.
I thought this note on the drawing was interesting too: "11. RESIDENTIAL UNITS 10 FOOT SEPARATION."

More Cottages. To be honest, I thought it was a mobile home park at first by the layout. On Lennar's website and starting price for 1,000 SQFT 2 bed, 1 bath is $272K in a similar development. 10' standard dwelling spacing here as well.

Nailed-down trailer park?

Posted 23 January 2022 - 04:49 PM
I want to say I've seen stuff like this in College Station and San Marcos but meant for students. I am not fond of having all that common space and the maintenance fees and annoying rules that probably comes with. No real advantage over an apartment if you ask me.
In the 1980s in Houston they built a lot of cheap small housing but at least it had a small fenced yard.
Also what ever happened to duplex neighborhoods? You get to live in and potentially own a "home" which has a yard and everything and it's like a conventional subdivision, but it's smaller and cheaper.

On the subject of those cottages possibly being modular or prefab, doesn't that seem like an interesting approach? A lot of people wouldn't buy a trailer or a modular home for various reasons but if they could be put together at scale for a rental community maybe it would work.
I've always wondered about manufactured housing. It has such a bad reputation. But it's also a good idea, its more efficient and cheaper and faster to construct. If it could be upgraded a little and improved its reputation it could solve a lot of issues.

Hopefully neighborhood NIMBY's can be shut down, there a housing shortage and this is needed:
https://fortworthrep...o-neighborhood/
I think, to be generous, the people complaining about this are all of an older generation that became homeowners in an era when any reasonably hard working person with a moderately skilled job or education could buy one of those small 1970s ranch houses or early 2000s Centex Homes plywood boxes. That's not how the world works anymore.

Here's another new multi-family development to keep on your radar. I'm curious to find out the exact address on this to see if these 14-acres are in the proximity of Z Boaz or further out. If the ZC and Permitting is being done with CoFW, then it would need to be outside of Benbrook city limits I'd imagine.
Proposed re-zoning for Multifamily use on approx 14 acres located on Benbrook Blvd.
Park Ridge Stables seems to fit that tract size...just a wild guess:
Here's an area further out:

Here's a new subdivision off of Boat Club Rd in NW Fort Worth:
This is a proposed detached multifamily development along Boat Club Road in northwestern Fort Worth inCouncil District 7. The single family units clustered around green spaces and connected by trails, arerepresentative of a new style of development which is not directly addressed by the current City of Fort WorthZoning Ordinance. This detached multifamily development shares characteristics of an apartment communityand a single-family neighborhood, but is considered to a be a hybrid of the two. They are also sometimesreferred to as ‘cottage communities’.

Very interesting rendering above, primarily because it shows a re-routing of Boat Club Road just north of Lake Country. As fast as this area is growing, that seems like a great solution to the increased traffic down by the lake on that road. Can anyone find more details on this?
If they just took a 4 lane version of Boat Club straight north from that point and hooked it into Bonds Ranch (about 3 miles up), that would make it much easier to get around up there. The existing Boat Club section there is 2 lanes and I don't see any easy way that they could ever expand it between Lake Country and Bonds Ranch.

If you look at the City's Master Thoroughfare Plan, not only are they planning to take Boat Club Road straight north to Bonds Ranch, it will go all the way north to FM 718. This northern extension will be named Fleming Ranch Road. The east/west section that eventually curves back to the north will connect to Heritage Trace Parkway. That connection is already under construction. The City's Interactive Map now has the 2022 Aerial Photographs loaded on the site, and you can see the road work underway in the area.

Are these cottage developments being built in areas where apartments couldn't otherwise be built, or are they taking up land that's zoned for (much denser) multifamily?
steave,
Not sure the answer to that one but I'd be curious to look at how the ownership works in these communities. I get the impression some subdivisions are sold to individual buyers with an HOA in place and others are Built to Lease or Build to Rent. "Rents like an apartment, lives like a home." I would almost like to see this more as lease/rent only because in 30-years when these communities start to show their age, you would hope that there are still some standards in-place for maintenance.

They'll just be run down like all the awkward 80s townhouse/patio home subdivisions in Houston around Beltway 8. Same economic conditions then as now - housing shortage, rising high interest rates. When I lived there my friend bought one in Alief (Asian dude) and it needed a lot of work. Carpet in the bathroom around the toilet . My aunt and uncle lived in the 1980s version of one of these cottage developments when I was growing up, in the Inwood area (north of 290 and south of the Beltway but west of 249. It was kind of cool when I was a kid but nowadays that is the hood. Also my old workplace was close to something called Pine Village North in the East Aldine area, that place was a dump taken over by criminals. It was townhouses sold to old people who all got screwed as outside investors bought it and put in renters and then deferred maintenance and removed amenities. A lot of the units are burned out or foundation slabs now, but people still live there.
That said I opposing NIMBYing them. Cities need a spectrum of housing options including basic housing for people at the bottom of the income scale. It's the job of things like schools and police and community services to keep areas from turning into slums, turning away development to segregate by income is wrong. I think Fort Worth will do a better job than Houston in the dirty 1990s... I hope... Fort Worth keeps annexing it could get too big and have the same issues Houston did.

I don't frequent Eagle Mountain Lake but have been there occasionally to swim or to dine at one of the restaurants overlooking the lake. I have a friend who lives in one of the palatial-style homes in the area. Nice area, but it will be crowded in the future. I can understand why more people will want to live near the lake.

I'm just thinking out loud here...would love to hear others thoughts on this.
We're at an interesting time right now. S-T has this paywall article talking about if rising interest rates will lead to falling prices. That's what the FED is trying to do to get inflation under control. With all of these new subdivisions in the works and lumber prices plummeting now between a 1/3 and 1/2 of what it was at peak over the past couple of years. I guess that means the cost of construction would be normalizing but other material is still high and labor is high too. I've started noticing more older flipped homes sitting longer on the market, certainly not selling within a day or two.
I'd be curious to hear from a realtor as far as what they are seeing if nicer areas are still having bidding wars and multiple cash offers or is that over now?
Do you think these big subdivisoins and cottage home communities will move forward as quickly and will there be enough interested buyers wanting to take loans out now before rates go even higher? If you were smart, you'd take that down payment and put it back into the stock market when it bottoms out, you could make a real killing when it comes back up probably take your 20% down and have enough to put 50% down.
Some would say 5-6% on a home loan still isn't that bad compared to what it has been in the 70's through 90's but the kicker is the high value of a homes has gone up so much recently that the math may not work out for a buyer if prices do end up falling not to mention a negative equity scenario. Honestly, those flipped houses I'm seeing right now are over valued by at least $50K. If those guys are going to take a price reduction, they'd better hope they have enough margin to come out ahead after all their expenses and carrying costs.
