LOG NAME: 06BAX-20-001 FIRESIDE LODGE - RIVER OAKS
SUBJECT
(CD 7) Authorize a Joint Ordinance and Boundary Agreement with the City of River Oaks to Adjust the City Limit Boundaries Between the Cities of
Fort Worth and River Oaks for Castleberry ISD by Releasing to River Oaks Approximately 5.892 Acres of Land Located North of White Settlement
Road and West of Churchill Street, BAX-20-001, Fireside Lodge
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the attached joint ordinance and boundary agreement between the Cities of Fort Worth and River Oaks; and
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the attached joint ordinance and boundary agreement.
DISCUSSION:
In order to promote orderly growth and development, the Cities of Fort Worth and River Oaks wish to realign their jurisdiction boundaries with a
joint ordinance and boundary agreement to define the common boundaries of the two cities adjacent to Castleberry High School. Chapter 43,
Section 43.142, of the Texas Local Government Code, authorizes the City of Fort Worth under its municipal charter, with action carried out by the
City Council, the authority to disannex property. The property disannexed by the City of Fort Worth will be annexed by the City of River Oaks.
The subject property lies within the corporate limits of the City of Fort Worth, Texas, a home -rule city. Under the proposed agreement, Fort Worth
would release approximately 5.892 acres of land to River Oaks. This agreement will benefit citizens of both cities and will allow for efficient
planning and delivery of municipal services.
The subject property is identified as 4800 White Settlement Road. It is situated along the northern edge of White Settlement Road and west of
Churchill Street (see Exhibit A). The site is currently owned by Castleberry Independent School District (ISD) and is proposed to be developed as
an addition to the adjacent high school. Approval of this joint ordinance and boundary agreement would result in a release of 5.892 acres from the
City of Fort Worth to the City of River Oaks. The Castleberry ISD supports this boundary adjustment.
The site is designated for future school facilities and improvements by Castleberry Independent School District. River Oaks and Castleberry ISD
will coordinate with the City of Fort Worth when the school property is redeveloped to ensure the improvements do not increase flood risk within the
City of Fort Worth. Since these properties are currently in the City of Fort Worth, the property owners pay a Stormwater Utility Fee to Fort
Worth. Once the property is officially released to River Oaks, no Stormwater Utility fee will be collected by the City of Fort Worth. Upon release, the
City of Fort Worth will no longer provide stormwater services to these properties. Since the property is being used for a school site, there will not
be a loss of property tax revenue for the City of Fort Worth upon adjusting the city limit boundary.
The proposed boundary adjustment is located in Fort Worth City Limits. Upon approval, the property will be removed from COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: City of
River Oaks
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of this recommendation will have no material effect on city funds.
