LOG NAME: 06ADOPTAX-07007 REFERENCE NO.: PZ-2759
SUBJECT:
Institution and Adoption of an Ordinance for the City Initiated Annexation of Approximately 19.9
Acres of Land in Tarrant County, Texas, Located South of North Crowley Cleburne Road and West
of Crowley Road (AX-07-007, Crowley ISD)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council institute and consider the adoption of an ordinance annexing
approximately 19.9 acres south of North Crowley Cleburne Road and west of Crowley Road, in Tarrant
County, Texas.
DISCUSSION:
On October 10, 2007, Crowley Independent School District submitted an application for the full purpose
annexation of the above referenced property into the City of Fart Worth. State law does not require public
hearings concerning an annexation requested by a property owner. 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, in the
southwest corner of the North Crowley Cleburne Road and Crowley Road intersection. The property is part
of an enclave that is entirely surrounded by the City of Fort Worth and the City of Crowley. The land
currently contains the Crowley ISD bus maintenance facility and parking lot. The southern half of the parcel
is vacant. No immediate plans for additional development are noted.
The fiscal impact analysis shows that the property and improvements will provide a slight negative impact to
the General Fund. However, the area is noted as a portion of Enclave 48 in the Annexation Program, and
the Annexation Policy does not require enclaves to produce a positive fiscal impact due to the efficiencies
gained in service delivery.
The Police Department has estimated an impact of $204 and other general fund services have estimated an
impact of $244, due to anticipated calls for service to the proposed annexation area in the first year.
If annexed, this property will become a part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.
