Home My WebLink AboutIR 9066r INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS To the Mayor and Members of the City Council June 9, 2009 Page 1 of 1 SUBJECT: ANNEXATION OF THE FUTURE HULEN STREET RIGHT -OF -WAY IN ,.n THE FAR SOUTHWEST SECTOR The June 16 City Council agenda will contain an ordinance to approve the annexation of a portion of an enclave in the Far Southwest sector of Fort Worth. The purpose of the annexation is to allow the City to design and construct a portion of the Hulen Street right -of -way. The property owner, Jerry Savelle Ministries, has voluntarily submitted a petition requesting that we annex the future right -of -way, at the request of the Transportation and Public Works Department. This request meets the criteria defined in Texas Local Government Code Section 43.028 for owner - initiated annexation and will not require public hearings. Attached is a fiscal impact analysis and exhibit map for reference. The draft 2010 Annexation Program proposes annexation for the remainder of this enclave in 2014. The annexation policy notes a three -year transition timeframe for both the City and the property owner to move from the ETJ status to inclusion within the Fort Worth city limits. The property currently has an agricultural tax exemption which would require the City to offer a development agreement in lieu of annexation. The fiscal impact analysis indicates the annexation will have a negative impact on the General Fund and will require capital improvements to construct the roadway. However, the area is classified as an enclave, and the annexation policy does not require enclaves to produce a positive fiscal impact due to the efficiencies gained in service delivery. In addition, Hulen Street is designated as a principal arterial on the Master Thoroughfare Plan, and it is critical the street be built and maintained to City of Fort Worth standards. Staff has determined that 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 thus consistent with the City's annexation policy. The annexation, if adopted, will be an addition to Council District 6.

In A ^1 Fiscal Impact Analysis Hulen Street ROW AX-09-003 Summary The owner-initiated annexation of the Hulen Street right-of-way (AX-09-003) has no preliminary plat or concept plan on file as of April 24, 2009. Therefore, existing conditions, right-of-way land use, and future growth were considered while assessing the financial impact to the General Fund. This land is currently taxed as agricultural land and produces property tax revenue of approximately $3 annually. Based on the projected revenue for this property and operating costs projected from the Police, Code Compliance, Transportation and Public Works, and Animal Care and Control Departments, the fiscal impact for the first year of annexation would be negative to the General Fund. Assuming conditions remain constant, this area is eligible for annexation as an enclave, under the Annexation Criteria and Procedure section of the Annexation Policy. Therefore, due to the enclave status, this development warrants the anticipated cost of City services, assuming current tax rates. Water, Sewer, Storm Water, and Solid Waste Funds will not be impacted because those Funds will recover costs from their customers, and revenues will equal expenditures or offset expenditures. Therefore, due to the enclave status of the property and the ability of the area to meet the City's criteria for full-purpose annexation, staff recommends that the Hulen Street ROW (AX-09-003) be considered for full-purpose annexation at this time.
