Land Use Study
FWADG, Nov 2007
The Land Use Study is a master plan for the West Commerce/Fort Worth Avenue corridor that was been created by a committee of nearby homeowners and commerical property owners. Appointed by the City of Dallas, the committee has included representatives from every ethnic group and neighborhood that lives and/or works near Fort Worth Avenue. The master plan divides the corridor into sub-districts, and then identifies what will in the future be considered conforming land uses/business types for each sub-district. The City Plan Commission unanimously approved the Land Use Study in December of 2004 and the City Council adopted it on January 26, 2005.

Land Use Ordinance
FWADG, Jan 2008
The Land Use Ordinance and new zoning map turns the recommendations contained in the Land Use Study into enforceable law. Although existing business with certificates of occupancy are able to remain as they are, the ordinance prohibits new, non-conforming businesses from locating on the corridor. It also prevents existing businesses from changing to a non-conforming type of use.  City Council unanimously adopted the ordinance in February 2005, just after its approval from the City Plan Commission.
