City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 10/16/2012 - Ordinance No. 20462.10. 2012
CONTINUED FROM A PREVIOUS WEEK
DATE: Tuesday, September 20, 2011
LOG NAME: 065030 ADOPT AX -11 -008
REFERENCE NO.: PZ -2957
SUBJECT:
Consider Institution of the Annexation and Adoption of Ordinance for the Owner - Initiated Annexation of
Approximately 3.3 Acres of Land Located North of Avondale - Haslet Road and East of US 287, AX -11 -008,
2484 Avondale - Haslet Road (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council institute and consider the adoption of the attached ordinance
annexing approximately 3.3 acres of land, located north of Avondale - Haslet Road and east of US 287, AX-
11 -008, 2484 Avondale - Haslet Road.
DISCUSSION:
On April 18, 2011, representatives for property owner Hady Aghili with M &H Food Mart submitted an
application for the full - purpose annexation of the above referenced property into the City of Fort Worth.
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 subject property is situated within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Fort Worth and has
recently been developed with a small multi- tenant retail building. The annexation area is immediately
north of the proposed Wal -Mart at the Avondale - Haslet Road and US 287 intersection.
The annexation of 2484 Avondale - Haslet Road will cause a portion of extraterritorial jurisdiction to be
entirely surrounded by the City of Fort Worth, creating a new 1.2 -acre enclave. Section 43.057 of the
Local Government Code specifically notes: "If a proposed annexation would cause an area to be entirely
surrounded by the annexing municipality but would not include the area in the municipality, the governing
body of the municipality must find, before completing the annexation, that surrounding the area is in the
public interest." City Staff has investigated the proposed annexation and recommends that surrounding
the described unincorporated area is in the public interest to provide public safety services and
infrastructure to the urban development in the proposed annexation area. No plans for development are
currently noted in the created enclave and it will be added to the five -year annexation program to be
considered for annexation.
The fiscal impact analysis shows that the property will have a positive impact to the General Fund for the
first year and the cumulative positive impact will continue thereafter. The Police Department has estimated
no impact and other General Fund services have estimated an impact of $2,180.00 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.
