LOG NAME: 065030 NORTHLAKE AGREEMENT
REFERENCE NO.: PZ -2946
SUBJECT:
Adopt Amendment to the Joint Resolution and Agreement City Secretary Contract No. 23202 with the
Town of Northlake to Adjust the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Boundaries (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the amendment to Joint Resolution and Agreement No.
23202 with the Town of Northlake whereby the City of Fort Worth and Town of Northlake mutually agree
on a realignment of their extraterritorial jurisdiction boundaries.
DISCUSSION:
In order to promote orderly growth and development, the City of Fort Worth and the Town of Northlake
(Northlake) wish to realign their extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) boundaries. Chapter 43, Section 43.021,
of the Texas Local Government Code, authorizes adjacent municipalities to make mutually agreeable
changes in their boundaries. Under the proposed Agreement, Fort Worth would relinquish approximately
919 acres within the ETJ of the City of Fort Worth to Northlake. In return, the Town of Northlake would
relinquish approximately 853 acres of their existing ETJ to Fort Worth. The Agreement will benefit citizens
of both cities and will facilitate orderly growth and the provision of services. The boundary adjustment will
place the 2,598 -acre Tradition planned development entirely within the ETJ of Fort Worth.
The 853 acres that Northlake will release from its ETJ to Fort Worth's ETJ is immediately adjacent to Fort
Worth's existing ETJ and is likely to develop as single family residential in the future.
The subject ETJ is located north of COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
