Acres)
Staff Report on the Fiscal Impact
Prepared for the City Council
December 15, 2020
Fiscal Impact Analysis Stonemont Harmon AX-20-007
Existing Conditions
❑ Approximately 29.23 acres of land in Tarrant County, located north of Golden Heights
Road, west and adjacent to Harmon Road
❑ Owner -Initiated annexation request
❑ Identified in 2020 Comprehensive Plan as Light Industrial
❑ Currently Agricultural and Vacant land - proposed for Industrial development
❑ Concept Plan — None on file
❑ Preliminary Plat — None on file
❑ Final Plat — None on file
❑ Northwest ISD
❑ Council District 7
Possible Revenue
❑ Existing condition- agricultural and vacant land
o Current Tax Roll Value is approximately $260,000 with three agricultural tax
exempt properties.
o Estimated Future City Property tax amount — $1,410,000 over the next ten years
and after the proposed development is built.
❑ Transportation Impact Fees
o The site is currently adjacent to Transportation Impact Fee Service Area C. If the
annexation is completed prior to the next transportation impact fee update study,
which will likely begin in 2021, the newly annexed area would be incorporated into
Service Area C. Transportation impact fees may be assessed with the building
permits for any new building permit applications made after the property is
incorporated into a service area. These are one-time fees and expenditure of such
revenue is governed by the Chapter 30 of the City Code and Chapter 395 of the
Texas Local Government Code.
Expenditures / Services
❑ Police
o Patrol of the area will be added to PRA 0300 in Beat F11 in North Division.
o Police services will be extended utilizing existing personnel at the date of
annexation. The Police Department conducted an analysis of call demand for the
annexation area. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as Light
Industrial. The Police Department estimates the call activity upon annexation
2
Fiscal Impact Analysis Stonemont Harmon AX-20-007
should be low. Once the property is fully developed, call load is estimated to be
between 1 and 5 calls a year. Based upon an average cost per call of $520, the
average annual cost of service is estimated to be $520 to $2,600.
o The Police Department has projected demand for service based on the best
information currently available. Future workload is highly dependent on the
expected uses, density level, transportation infrastructure, and timing of
development.
❑ Fire
o Fire and EMS first responder services will be dispatched from existing Fire Station
37, located at 4701 Ray White Rd, to the proposed annexation. Current Fire
Department response time goal is to arrive on the scene of emergencies within five
minutes from the time of dispatch at 75% of the time. Based on the existing fire
stations located close to this proposed annexation area, the Fire Department will
not be able to meet this response time goal.
o 2019 produced 119 incidents for the area within one half mile of the proposed
annexation (not including the area of the proposed annexation itself). Based on a
comparison of the area of the buffer to the area of the annexation, the estimated
annual count of incidents in the annexation is 4.
o The estimated cost of an additional incident is $968. Multiplied by 4 incidents, the
total additional annual cost of responding to the annexation is estimated to be
$3,872. However, once the area becomes more fully developed or if zoning for the
area changes, this number will need to be adjusted.
o Basic Life Support (BLS) emergency medical services by existing personnel and
equipment of the Fort Worth Fire Department will be provided to the annexation
area commencing on the effective date of the annexation. The Fort Worth Fire
Department serves as the first responder on life threatening medical emergencies
as a part of the MedStar system. All Fort Worth Fire Department personnel are
certified as Emergency Medical Technician basic level or higher. All engines,
trucks, and rescue units carry Automated External Defibrillators for use with
victims who are in cardiac arrest.
o Current Estimated Response Criteria to the Proposed Annexation Area:
o These estimated response times were calculated using GIS software; traffic
congestion, road conditions, time of day, and weather conditions have not been
factored in.

❑ EMS
o Advanced Life Support EMS response is provided by MedStar. MedStar's current
average citywide response time for high priority EMS calls is 9:02, with 78.8% of
their calls receiving a response time of under 11 minutes.
o MedStar has an ambulance staging location at I-35W @ Golden Triangle and I-
35W @ Westport Parkway approximately 3 miles from the proposed annexation
property respectively.
❑ Roads and Streets
o The proposed development would be required to dedicate their share of the right-
of-way along Harmon Road to achieve 80ft. of right-of-way. Their dedication of
right-of-way would be measured from the centerline of the existing roadway to
include any apparent prescriptive right-of-way that exists along their property
boundary. The ultimate roadway classification for Harmon Road is CCO-LI-TO-
TWLT-PO-BOP (80) which is a Commercial Connector, with one lane in each
direction, a two-way turn lane, no parking, and a 1 Oft. shared path.
o Roadway construction would be determined by the rough proportionality
assessment done as a part of the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) done in
conjunction with the development of the project. Any roadway construction, right-
of-way dedication, and/or future improvement agreement done for Harmon Road
would be eligible for credits against the future assessment of Transportation Impact
Fees.
❑ Code Compliance
o This 29.23 acre tract will be added to Code Compliance Field Operations — North
District Office.
o If the site is developed for Industrial use as planned, the estimated fiscal impact
would be:

❑ Park & Recreation / Forestry
o Park & Recreation -Planning
■ The proposed use for this property is a non-residential use and the Park
Dedication Policy will not apply. If circumstances change and a residential
use is proposed, the Policy would then apply.
o Park & Recreation -Forestry
Maintenance of trees growing along the proposed right of way (ROW)
section of Harmon Rd by PARD-Forestry is expected to result in an average
annual maintenance cost of $1,020. This is based on an estimate that the
ROW would require tree/brush removal every four years at a cost of $4,080
for each prescription of service.
❑ Library
o If this area is annexed, the nearest Fort Worth Public Library locations currently in
operation are the Golden Triangle Branch Library which is within 2.4 miles and the
Summerglen Branch Library which is within 6.5 miles. The Golden Triangle
Branch library is located at 4264 Golden Triangle Boulevard which is west of North
Beach Street and the Summerglen Branch Library is located at 4205 Basswood
Boulevard which is at the northwest corner of North Beach and Basswood
Boulevard.
❑ Gas Wells
o If a gas well pad site is annexed into the City, the operator of the site has 45 days
from the date of annexation to apply for a Multiple Gas Well Pad Site. There are
no gas well pad sites within the proposed annexation property.
❑ Solid Waste / Environmental
o Service to single-family residential units in this annexation area would be provided
through the existing City residential solid waste contract. Customers would pay
monthly charges through their water bill that cover the direct and indirect costs of
these services.
o For any commercial use, solid waste services will be provided by private solid
waste service providers and not the city. Private solid waste collection providers
must have an active Grant of Privilege issued by the City of Fort Worth to provide
service within the city limits.
❑ Stormwater Management (Drainage)
Fiscal Impact Analysis Stonemont Harmon AX-20-007
o This annexation area contains approximately 29.23 acres of land in Tarrant County,
located north of Golden Heights Road, west and adjacent to Harmon Road.
o The existing drainage infrastructure in the area is limited. Existing flooding
conditions of prior development would remain unchanged for a foreseeable future.
The owner/developer will be responsible for meeting with Development Services
to discuss their plans, obtain floodplain development permit and mitigate the
additional stormwater runoff generated post -development.
o This area will be included in the City's Stormwater Utility service area. Properties
in this area will be assessed a monthly fee based on the amount of impervious
surface. The fees will cover or offset the direct and indirect costs of stormwater
management services, including routine maintenance of public drainage facilities.
Any drainage deficiencies that are brought to the City's attention will be added to
the City's maintenance and/or capital needs list and will be prioritized and funded
according to priority as funds become available.
o All stormwater facilities in new developments will be at the developer's cost, with
size and configuration based upon the drainage study provided by the developer's
engineer. Any City participation on stormwater facilities will be in accordance with
the "Installation Policy of Community Facilities". City participation is contingent
upon resources considering citywide needs and priorities.
o The Stormwater Management Division prioritizes planning, projects, and
maintenance activities to protect people and property from harmful stormwater
runoff based on Citywide needs and considering the availability of funding. No
detailed stormwater planning has been undertaken for this specific annexation area
and no capital projects have been identified. Any flooding problems that exist are
likely to persist for the foreseeable future and if needed, maintenance and potential
flood mitigation projects will be prioritized and compete for limited funding based
on Citywide needs.
o Since the area is mostly undeveloped and proposed for residential landuse future
stormwater maintenance needs are expected to be low since the new development
would meet have to comply with the Stormwater Criteria Manual as the application
goes through stormwater development services. Since the development and
potential public infrastructure will be new, it is expected that stormwater
maintenance needs will be low in the near term.
o Flooding or stormwater maintenance concerns should be reported to Stormwater
Customer Service at 817-392-8100 so the City can consider concerns when
identifying and prioritizing planning, capital projects, and maintenance efforts.
❑ Water and Wastewater
o The annexation area is currently located within the City of Fort Worth Water CCN,
and is ssituation within the Northside III water pressure plane. There is an existing
12-inch Northside III water main along the Harmon Rd right of way at the Eastern
proposed annexation area boundary. The annexation area is subject water impact
fees and pro rata charges.
on
Fiscal Impact Analysis Stonemont Harmon AX-20-007
o The annexation area naturally drains to the East. There is a public sewer main that
will need to be extended to serve the annexation as well as traverse through the site
in order to convey future flows from adjacent vacant upstream tracts of land. This
annexation is subject to sewer impact fees and pro rata charges.
o In the event that the annexation area is subdivided in the future, public sewer main
extensions will be required along frontage of the subdivided lots. New sewer
connections are also subject to sewer impact fees.
o Vacant properties' water and sewer extensions will be installed by the Developer
in accordance with the "Installation Policy and Design Criteria for Water,
Wastewater and Reclaimed Water". All water and wastewater facilities will be at
the developer's cost and as consistent with the Texas Local Government Code.
Water and sewer line sizes will be determined.
Summary
The owner -initiated annexation known as Stonemont Harmon (AX-20-007) has no Preliminary
Plat nor Concept Plan on file. Though the site is currently agricultural and vacant land the
applicant has proposed the area for industrial type development. Proposed uses were considered
while assessing the financial impact to the General Fund. This site would only produce tax revenue
of approximately $260,000 annually, in its current state of use. The tax revenue generated for the
city is expected to increase by approximately $1,410,000 over the next ten years and after the
proposed development is built. Based on the operating costs projected from the Police, Code
Compliance, and Transportation and Public Works Departments, the fiscal impact shows a
negative annual effect to the General Fund. Assuming conditions remain constant, this area is
eligible for annexation and is an area experiencing urban development, under the Annexation
Criteria and Procedure section of the Annexation Policy. Therefore, this development warrants
the anticipated cost of City services, assuming current tax rates and continued urban development.
Therefore, due to the ability of the site to meet the City's criteria for full -purpose annexation staff
recommends that Stonemont Harmon (AX-20-007) be considered for full -purpose annexation at
this time.
