City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3/1/2016 - Ordinance No. 22107-03-2016
DATE: Tuesday, March 01, 2016 REFERENCE NO.: L-15876
LOG NAME: 06AX-15-002 WESTPORT ALLIANCE OWNER-INITIATED
SUBJECT:
Consider Institution and Adoption of Ordinance for the Owner-Initiated Annexation of Approximately 51.6
Acres of Land in Tarrant County Located Along FM 156, South of Intermodal Parkway in the Far North
Planning Sector (FUTURE COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council institute and adopt the attached ordinance annexing
approximately 51.6 acres of land located shown on Exhibit A for full purposes.
DISCUSSION:
The subject area is currently vacant and the property owner, Hillwood Properties, is proposing industrial
uses. The owner-initiated annexation, which is approximately 51.6 acres, meets the City of Fort Worth's
criteria for an enclave and urban development as established by the City's Annexation Policy. The
applicant has submitted an annexation application and a zoning request. The proposed ordinance, Exhibit
A and service plan are attached.
In accordance with Section 4.102D of the City's Zoning Ordinance, this site would be automatically zoned
Agricultural (AG) upon annexation. The site consists of vacant land. This property is designated in the
future land use map of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan as an industrial growth center. The owner of the
property has submitted a zoning application requesting "K" heavy industrial zoning (Exhibit C), which is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. While the annexation and zoning are related cases, approval of
the annexation is not conditional on approval of the associated zoning request (ZC-15-167).
The fiscal impact analysis shows that the property will have a long-term positive impact to the General
Fund, based on the proposed development. This property is currently agriculturally tax-exempt and
produces tax revenue of approximately $21,214.00 annually. The property tax revenue is expected to
increase to $1,128,600.00 over the next 10 years and after proposed industrial development is
built. Based on the operating costs projected from the Police, Code Compliance and Transportation and
Public Works Departments, the fiscal impact shows a positive annual effect to the General Fund over the
life of the development.
The City is able to provide municipal services upon annexation in accordance with State law without
negatively impacting service provision within the City. Annexation of this site is consistent with the City's
annexation policy of annexing enclaves and property proposed for urban development.
If annexed, this property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 7, Mapsco 6L, 6M and 7J.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.

FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that based upon the proposed development, the annexation will have a
long-term positive impact to the General Fund.
