It looks at worst it's 10 stories.  Are we really gonna get let down by that?

I'm not let down.  Was hoping for multiple12 story towers from the initial site plans drawings that I remembered reading.  I am totally on board with the new plans

Westbend South (Phase II) is going before zoning next week.
 

The subject property is within 1,000 feet from one- or two-family zoning (that is not designated as park of Forest

Park or the Fort Worth Zoo) across the river along the Mistletoe Heights neighborhood. The river is less than 300

feet wide. Therefore, the applicant must apply for a Planned Development for the desired hotel use. The applicant

also wants to build multifamily in the development, and therefore has added this use to the Planned Development,

as residential multifamily use is not allowed by right within “G” Intensive Commercial.

Prior to submitting the Zoning Change application, the applicant spoke with City staff about the intended

rezoning; several different options were discussed. All of the proposed uses are allowed in “MU-1” Low Intensity

Mixed-Use, however, the “MU-1” district does not allow for the proposed twelve (12) story height; “MU-1”

allows for a maximum of ten (10) stories. The developer expressed in a Predevelopment Conference that in order

to be financially viable, the project must be twelve stories instead of ten. The base district of this Planned

Development is proposed to be “G” Intensive Commercial, which allows a maximum height of twelve (12) stories

or 120 feet.

The applicant provided the following request:

From: “G” Intensive Commercial

To: “PD/G” Planned Development for all uses in “G” Intensive Commercial, plus hotel and residential

uses. No electronic changeable copy sign, with the following provisions:

1. Building Height - Maximum building height shall be 12 stories.

2. Building Setbacks – Primary street min/max = 0’/30’. Side Street min/max is 0’/20’. Rear yard

minimum is 0’.

3. Urban Forestry – Per Mixed Use zoning requirements.

4. Landscape – Landscaping requirements shall comply with MU-1 landscape requirements.

5. Parking - Minimum parking spaces required per MU-1 zoning. 

6. Residential multifamily: Maximum of 350 units.

7. Hotel: Maximum of 205 rooms/keys. 

 

 

 

looks like another scaled down project but i actually like it for the most part.  I did the varying heights but wish that the corner unit in the second unit was a few stories taller.

...was it scaled down? Or am I looking at a different project? 

 

I was going on this image which said it could be up to 12 stories...  I guess I was the one who let myself down by removing the "could be" part and assuming that it was going to all be 12 stories.

Project Description:

FTW City Hall

Proposed City Hall Chambers and Parking Garage

 

Total Plat or Project Area (Acres): 11.8

Land Disturbance Area (Acres): 6.18

 

There is some major road work on Forest Park Blvd near the new City Hall / Pier 1 bldg up to about the Tilley bridge.  I'm assuming this is work being done to improve water drainage for the new city hall chamber addition.

looks like another scaled down project but i actually like it for the most part.  I did the varying heights but wish that the corner unit in the second unit was a few stories taller.

This has been open for quite a while now.  Over a year now I believe.  Is there something more to this?
