DATE: Tuesday, August 14, 2018 REFERENCE NO.: L-16135
LOG NAME: 06FAR NORTH FORT WORTH MUD #1 STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
AGREEMENT
SUBJECT:
Conduct Two Public Hearings and Authorize Execution of the Strategic
Partnership Agreement for the Far North Fort Worth Municipal Utility
District No. 1 of Tarrant and Wise Counties (ETJ Adjacent to COUNCIL
DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct two public hearings in accordance with state law to allow the
public the opportunity to give public testimony regarding the Strategic
Partnership Agreement between the City of Fort Worth, Texas and Northstar
Ranch, LLC for the Far North Fort Worth Municipal Utility District No. 1 of
Tarrant and Wise Counties; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Strategic Partnership
Agreement and to take action to file such Agreement in real property
records.
DISCUSSION:
Far North Fort Worth Municipal Utility District No. 1 of Tarrant and Wise
Counties (the District) encompasses approximately 733 acres of land in Fort
Worth's extraterritorial jurisdiction in Tarrant, Denton and Wise counties
(the Property). The Property is located east of U.S. Highway 81/287 and
west of Sendera Ranch Boulevard.
On August 7, 2018, the City Council considered the First Amendment to
Utility and Infrastructure Agreement and First Amendment to Development
Agreement for the District. Northstar Ranch, LLC and the District have
asked the City to amend the Utility and Infrastructure Agreement and the
Development Agreement with respect to the phasing of construction of water
and wastewater infrastructure and roads to serve the Property. The
amendment to the Utility and Infrastructure Agreement reflects that the
City will provide retail water and wastewater service to the eastern
portion of the Property after Northstar Ranch, LLC and the District
construct connections to existing City infrastructure in the Sendera Ranch
development.
The City will provide retail water and wastewater service to the western
portion of the Property as off -site water and wastewater infrastructure is
constructed by Northstar Ranch, LLC, the District or other developers. The
amendment will allow Northstar Ranch, LLC to construct up to 20 model homes
on the western portion of the Property, to be served by City water service
and an on -site sewer system. Sale of the model homes to end -users is
prohibited until City wastewater service is available.
The amendment to the Utility and Infrastructure Agreement also modifies the
road construction requirements by Northstar Ranch, LLC and the District to
reflect the phasing of the development. The amendment to the Development
Agreement is consistent with the amendments to the Utility and
Infrastructure Agreement.
The Strategic Partnership Agreement will set terms and conditions where the
District is willing to allow the City to annex commercial use areas of the
development for the sole and exclusive purpose of imposing and collecting
sales and use taxes within such areas. To facilitate the limited purpose
annexation by the City of the commercial use area of the development, the
owner will submit to the City a petition requesting and consenting to the
limited purpose annexation of the 19.38 acres for commercial use. The
development plan is included with this report to show the location of the
commercial area. Two public hearings are being held for the Strategic
Partnership Agreement on August 7th and August 14th.
The Property is located in FUTURE COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
