Fort Worth panel weighs 20-story mixed-use zoning on 11 acres

Fort Worth’s Zoning Commission will hear a request on Oct. 14 to rezone 11.45 acres at 1000 N. Henderson Street from PI-N-3 to high-intensity mixed-use with a 20-story height limit.

Why it matters

Case ZC-26-124 sits in Council District 9. Owners SGB Bailey, LLC and JGM McMahon, LLC, with Boykin Land Company, ask to move the site from PI-N-3 to a planned development based on MU-2 High Intensity Mixed-Use. This is a proposal, not a decision.

The request covers all MU-2 uses. The agenda does not say how many homes, offices or shops are planned, and it names no builder. The site plan is waived, so the commission would see development standards, not a layout.

The Texas Comptroller lists JGM McMahon, LLC as active, with a Kerrville address. Its managing member is Security State Bank & Trust, trustee for the Josephine Ann Bailey Trust. The record ties no operating developer to the site.

The numbers

• Acreage: 11.45.
• Current zoning: PI-N-3. Requested: PD/MU-2.
• Maximum building height: 20 stories.
• Minimum building height: 1 story, but no 1-story building may exceed 10,000 sq ft.
• All 1-story buildings combined: capped at 45,000 sq ft.
• Maximum front yard setback: 75 feet.
• Surface parking up to 60 feet deep allowed between buildings and Henderson Street, with no limit on parking frontage there.

What’s next

The Zoning Commission hears the case at its 1 p.m. public hearing on Oct. 14 in City Hall. The agenda says cases heard that day generally go to City Council on Nov. 10, 2026, unless noted otherwise.

Builders and land agents near the north side should watch the height and parking standards. A recommendation is not a final decision; Council votes last. The same meeting also carries other cases, including acreage near Bear Creek. More Dallas coverage follows the Council vote.
