3/1/71 PZ-427
Tne City's POLICY FOR REVIEW OF ANNEXATION AND DEANNEXATION-REQUESTS, states
ti : "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
or 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 tdo
sides by the City of Fort Worth; some are virtually surrounded by Fort Worth.
Th -e 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 PrelirninaLY Plan for the 1980 Urban Area, sector plans,
district plans
(3) To aid police and fire calls _by .better esta_blishing_jurisdic-
tional lines
(4) To eradicate enclaves of unannexed land presently pocketed 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
co,13ideritions concerning this annexation proposal and includes reprints of
c i sion .:;id departmental reports , and detailed maps of .the areas proposed
