Research

A day of research of the area was in store for today. As one not familiar with Fort Worth area, I needed to acclimate myself to the nuances of Southside, and the best place to do that is from the source of reemergence for the area. Near Southside's website provides a vast amount of information, including a section for developers on the proper channels of protocol for projects, design standards, and overall goals for the local parcels of real estate.

Further research led me to a podcast (albeit from 2008) of Mr. Brennan, then an integral part of Fort Worth South INC. discussing goals, plans and ideas for the area. The full one hour podcast can be found here. Its worth a listen, if only to understand basics like TIFFs, NEZ and Form Based Code.

I shall continue my quest for information on the area tomorrow, possibly from Fort Worth Planners themselves.
