Original Blog Post
A proposed rezoning request for 5410 & 5420 Geddes in Lake Como could bring significant changes to our neighborhood. The request, which will be heard by the Fort Worth Zoning Commission on March 12, 2025, seeks to allow higher-density residential development. What does this mean for Lake Como? We’re breaking it down and inviting residents to share their input through a survey, community discussion, and direct comments to city officials. Your voice matters—let’s make it heard!
What the Geddes Street Rezoning Request Means for Lake Como
A zoning request has been filed to change 5410 & 5420 Geddes from A5 Residential (Single-Family, Larger Lots) to B Residential (Single-Family, Smaller Lots). If approved, this change would allow the construction of single-family homes on the original 25-foot-wide platted lots. 🔎VIEW the request.
📌 Key Details of the Rezoning Request:
Current Zoning: A5 Residential – Designed for larger single-family lots.
Proposed Zoning: B Residential – Allows for development on smaller lots.
Developer's Goal: To construct homes without consolidating lots.
Potential Impact: Changes in housing density, parking availability, property values, and infrastructure demands.
The developer has provided "representative images" of similar home styles built in the area and has committed to maintaining a consistent level of quality.

🏡 Why This Rezoning Request Matters
Zoning changes have lasting effects on our neighborhood. Here are a few key considerations for Lake Como residents:
Increased Housing Density
Rezoning could allow for more homes on smaller lots, potentially increasing traffic and parking demand on Geddes Street.
Neighborhood Character
How will the new homes blend with the existing architectural style and community aesthetics? Will this set a precedent for future developments?
Property Values
Could this zoning change positively impact property values by increasing homeownership opportunities? Or might it lead to overcrowding and market instability?
Infrastructure Strain
Does Lake Como have the water, sewage, and other infrastructure capacity to support additional homes on these lots?
These are essential questions that we need to discuss as a community.
📅 Next Steps & Community Discussion
We will be hosting a community meeting to discuss the rezoning request, address resident concerns, and gather official community feedback before the zoning hearing.
