COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 8/14/2012 - Ordinance No. 20329 -08 -2012
DATE: Tuesday, August 14, 2012
LOG NAME: 065030 ADOPT AX -12 -004
SUBJECT:
REFERENCE NO.: PZ -2985
Consider Institution of the Annexation and Adoption of Ordinance for the Annexation of Approximately
299.7 Acres of City -Owned Land North of Intermodal Parkway and West of Old FM 156, Alliance Airport
Runway Extension, AX -12 -004 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council institute and consider the adoption of the attached ordinance
annexing approximately 299.7 acres of land, north of Intermodal Parkway and west of Old FM 156,
Alliance Airport Runway Extension, AX -12 -004.
DISCUSSION:
On May 1, 2012, the City Manager's Office submitted a request for the full purpose annexation of City -
owned property into the City of Fort Worth. The property is situated within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City of Fort Worth and is west of Alliance Airport. The annexation area is anticipated to be developed
as a runway expansion of Alliance Airport, which would allow larger aircraft to utilize the airport. The
runway expansion is projected to be completed in 2017.
This request meets the criteria defined in Texas Local Government Code Section 43.028 for owner -
initiated annexation and will not require public hearings. The adoption of the attached ordinance
completes the annexation process.
The fiscal impact analysis shows that the property will have a very slight negative impact to the General
Fund for the first year. The Police Department has estimated no impact, and other General Fund services
have estimated an impact in the amount of $968.00, due to anticipated calls for service to the proposed
annexation area in the first year. 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 of annexing property proposed for urban
development.
If annexed, this property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the General Fund.
