Fort Worth City Council will consider rezoning nearly 300 acres for a variety of uses, including a potential soccer stadium, at its upcoming Aug. 9 meeting.
The proposal for a planned development will cover about 361 acres and will be located east of I-35W at the Hwy. 287 split, north of Basswood Boulevard, south of Thompson Road and west of Riverside Drive, according to a meeting document. The applicant is listed as Basswoods35 Land LLC. The rezoning request involves 297.2 acres.
Rezoning would pave way for this planned development, which would include single-family homes; multifamily and commercial uses; light industrial; and a potential soccer stadium.
The zoning request for this development is split into seven tracts with 119 acres in Tract 3, which is the largest acreage to accommodate a potential stadium, the document states. The city of Fort Worth has been exploring the possibility of partnering with Keller ISD and Neltex Sports Group LLC on an outdoor stadium with surrounding tournament fields. Neltex owns franchises for professional men's and women's soccer teams from the United Soccer League, according to city documents.
