Mr. James W. Schell, acting on behalf of his clients, Village Creek Joint Venture,
James E. Sowell and Clarence Cornutt, has requested annexation of said land into
the corporate limits of the City of Fort Worth.
The subject property is within the exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ)
of the City of Fort Worth. No common boundary adjustments with other cities will
be required for annexation. See the attached map (Exhibit "A") and the Staff
Information Report.
History
Before 1980, the subject site was within the Fort Worth City limits. District
Court Judgment #153-50552-78, effective August 21, 1980, disannexed 409.6 acres,
including this site. The disannexation was the result of a District Court
judgment which declared that the City was not able to provide services to the
subject area comparable to those extended to other similar areas of the City.
The City's ability to serve this site has greatly improved since 1980. The com-
pletion of Eastchase Parkway and its interchange at I-30 has improved
accessibility.
The Development Review Committee received and recommended approval of the subject
annexation request on March 21, 1985. The City Plan Commission recommended
approval of the proposed annexation on March 27, 1985 No requests for platting
and/or zoning have been submitted for the site.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Annexation Timetable
in order to annex the subject property in compliance with the requirements of
Article 970a of the Revised Civil Statues of the State of Texas.
