NUMSER Seven "Enclave" Areas
3/1/71 PZ-427 lOf
The City's POLICY FOR REVIEW OF ANNEXATION AND DEANNEXATION'REQUESTS, states
that "land will be considered-for-annexation when its proximity to- the City,
the rate of growth of, the 'City, ' and•-other factors indicate that annexation
of the area would aid the City's growth and development, or when annexation
is required to guard against uncontrolled development not consistent with
long-range land use needs of the area."
The areas proposed for annexation in this report are bounded on at least two
sides by the City of Fort Worth; some are virtually surrounded by Fort Worth.
These areas are subject to development at any time, with the exception of the
City-operated Southeast Landfill site (Q--69-7).
Because of the proximity of all the areas proposed to be annexed to the City
of Fort Worth, it would be desirable for the City to have that control which
only annexation can provide for the following reasons:
(1) To prevent undesirable development or deterioration
(2) To guide development as per present and/or pending plans, viz.
The Preliminary. Plan for the 1980 Urban Area t sector plans,
district-plans
(3) To aid police and fire calls by better establishing, jurisdic-
tional lines
(4) To eradicate enclaves of unannexed land presently pocloned by
the municipal boundaries of Fort Worth
(5) To bring municipally owned and/or operated territory within
the city limits.
A "Report.on Proposed Annexations" is attached which outlines in ,greater detail
considerations concerning this annexation proposal and includes reprints of
commission and departmental reports, and detailed maps of theareas proposed
for annexation.
Proposal
It is proposed that consideration be given to *the annexation of the following
referenced and described areas:
Q-66-23: A 0.640 square mile enclave in Meadowbrook Sector, generally bounded
on the north by Meadowbrook Drive, on the west by Cooks Lane, on the

City Plan Commission Recommendation
In May, 1969, and January, 1971, these areas were recommended for annexation
by the City Plan Commission.
Municipal Services
The City of Fort Worth can provide all municipal services , including police
and fire protection, to all of the areas proposed for annexation.. However,
in areas 9-69-20 (the GSIA enclave) and Q-69-21 (the enclave east of Lake-
side Village) it would be difficult to provide water and sewer facilities.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City staff to initiate
annexation proceedings on the areas reported herein.
