F . Albright Surve PAGE 4/27/83 PZ-1190 ~ or-._.__1 M E NT.•.3 On April 6•, 1981, Mr. Mike Blubaugh, the owner of an approximate 240-acre tract in far northwest Fort Worth, requested annexation. The subject property is vacant; is within Fort Worth's exclusive extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), and is contiguous to the present corporate limits of Fort Worth. On May 27, 1981, the City Plan Commission approved a concept plan. for the Northwest Loop Industrial Park (C-81-5), a 240-acre tract of land with "K" Heavy Industrial zoning proposed on the subject site. On November 10, 1981, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 8437 annexing 0.375 square miles (240 acres) of the A. F. Albright Survey. However, the State of Texas refused to certify the annexation because of problems with the metes and bounds description and because of failure to fulfill statutory requirements. Therefore, the annexation process must be repeated in order to satisfy the requirements of Article 970a of the Revised Civil S to totes of the State of Texas. At the time of the original annexation, "IP" Industrial Park zoning was requested and approved. Recommendation I t is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Annexation Timetable in order to re-zone and re-annex the subject property simultaneously in order to satisfy the certification requirements of Article 970a of the Revised Civil Statutes of the State of Texas.
