RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

Cleburne Crowley Road, Located at 1800 Cleburne Crowley Road as shown on Exhibit A;
2. Authorize Execution of Municipal Services Agreement between the City and property owners, Crowley Independent School District; and

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is on July 22, 2019, representatives for the property owners Crowley Independent
School District, submitted an application for full -purpose annexation of the property shown on Exhibit A into the City of Fort Worth. The subject
property is entirely located in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, which is in Tarrant County. The site is located at 1800 Cleburne Crowley Road.
This owner -initiated annexation, which contains approximately 95.6 acres, is experiencing urban development. The proposed annexation is
consistent with the urban development annexation criteria as established by the City's Annexation Policy. The subject area is currently agricultural
land. The property is proposed for educational uses as a Career and Technology Education Center and the proposed zoning is "CIF" Community
Facilities. The proposed use is consistent with the future land use map of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan.
On August 12th, City Plan Commission voted to recommend approval of the annexation request to City Council. On October 9th, the related zoning
case (ZC-19-146) was heard by the Zoning Commission, and the commission voted to recommend approval of "CIF" Community Facilities zoning
to City Council.
Subchapter C-3 of Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC) provides for the process of annexation of an area upon a request of an
owner of land. Section 43.0672 of the LGC requires a municipality that elects to annex an area upon the request of an owner first negotiate and
enter into a written agreement with the owners of land in the area for the provision of municipal services.
The agreement must include:
1. A list of each service the municipality will provide on the effective date of the annexation, and
2. A schedule that includes the period within which the municipality will provide each service that is not provided on the effective date of the
annexation.
The municipal services agreement includes these provisions in accordance with state law.
The proposed uses were considered while assessing the financial impact to the General Fund. Based on the operating costs projected from the
Police, Code Compliance and Transportation and Public Works Departments, the fiscal impact shows a slightly negative impact to the General
Fund for the first year. There will be no property tax revenue generated from this annexation. Therefore, due to the ability of the area to meet the
City's criteria for full -purpose annexation Staff recommends approval of the requested owner -initiated annexation, AX-19-010.
The City Council will conduct a public hearing on the proposed annexation. The public hearing is an opportunity for persons interested in the
annexation to be heard. Once the City Council has conducted the required public hearing, Council may close the hearing and vote on
authorizing the City Manager to execute the Municipal Services Agreement between the City and property owners, Cleburne Crowley Independent
School District and adopt an ordinance annexing AX-19-010 for full purposes.
Upon approval of the annexation request, the property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached ordinance will have no effect on the
City's property tax revenue.
