The Downtown Urban Design District Standards and Guidelines were developed to improve and protect the appearance, value and function of downtown properties. The standards and guidelines are intended to allow for creativity and variety within a framework of basic design parameters that will reinforce downtown Fort Worth’s best attributes. They are also intended to work in conjunction with the city’s Historic Preservation Ordinance to encourage preservation and adaptive reuse of significant buildings.
Recommendations and standards were developed for streetscapes; downtown districts; downtown open space systems; architectural scale, height and volume issues; signs and information systems; entry/gateway areas; view protection corridors; linkages to the river greenbelt; and street-level activity guidelines.
