SUBJECT: OWNER-INITIATED ANNEXATION OF A PORTION OF WALSH
RANCH NORTH OF INTERSTATE 30 AND WEST OF THE PARKER/TARRANT
COUNTY BOUNDARY
The May 11 City Council agenda will contain an M&C to approve the annexation for a portion of
Walsh Ranch in Far West Fort Worth. Walsh Ranch is currently annexed for limited purposes,
and the property owner has requested the full-purpose annexation of 90.4 acres. The area is in
Council District 3. Attached is a PowerPoint for reference. The fiscal impact analysis is posted
on the Planning and Development Department's website.
As part of the limited-purpose annexation for this large project, the City Council approved an
Economic Development Agreement on April 29, 2003 (M&C C-19566). One of the stipulations of
this agreement is that full-purpose annexation is required with each preliminary plat submitted as
the property develops. The annexation area corresponds to two preliminary plats submitted (PP-
10-006 and PP-10-007), to be used for rights-of-way. The plats were approved by the City Plan
Commission on April 28, 2010. Walsh Ranch was zoned as part of its limited-purpose annexation
in 2003; therefore, no rezoning is necessary.
Staff has conducted a fiscal impact analysis, which indicates the annexation will have a slightly
negative impact on the General Fund. However, no capital improvements are required, since the
developer will construct the roadways within these rights-of-way. 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 to consider full-purpose annexation for areas experiencing urban development. The Walsh
Ranch concept plan indicates urban residential densities and commercial development for the
more than 7,000 acres to be built over 40 to 50 years.
Should you have any questions, please contact Susan Alanis, Planning and Development
Director, at 817-392-8180.
