Zoning Change Request for Vacant Land at 4400 Ellis Ranch Trail
A zoning change application was submitted to the Zoning Commission by Pinnacle Properties of Texas/AANI Design Build, LLC for the property located at 4400 Ellis Ranch Trail. The proposal requests to all of the lots on the 5.67 acre tract from A-10 lots to A-5 lots, essentially reducing the lot sizes by half, to accommodate a single-family residential development consisting of 27+ homes.
As an organization, we opposed this proposal due to concerns over the reduced lot sizes and increased housing density within our neighborhood. Additional concerns were raised regarding traffic congestion, on-street parking, drainage, added strain on city services such as code enforcement and policing, as well as the overall impact on the neighborhood’s aesthetics. To support our opposition, we gathered signatures from 38 residents living within 300 feet of the property who are also against the rezoning. On April 9th, we attended the Zoning Commission’s Monthly Public Hearing and formally voiced our concerns. Despite our strong opposition, the Commission voted in favor of the developer. The proposal will now move to the City Council for final approval, scheduled for May 13th at 6:00 PM at the new City Hall (100 Fort Worth Trail, Fort Worth, TX, Council Chambers). We encourage every resident to attend and make your voice heard!
