(PUBLIC HEARING - a. Report of City Staff: Mary Elliott; b. Public Comment; c. Council Action: Close Public Hearing and Act on M&C)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct public hearing for the proposed owner -initiated annexation of approximately 29.867 acres of land in Tarrant County, known as
Normandy Farms, located east of Park Vista, south of Alliance Gateway, west of Alta Vista along Keller -Haslet Road, in the Far North
Planning Sector as shown on Exhibit A;
2. Authorize execution of Municipal Services Agreement between the City and property owner, TSMJV, LLC; and
3. Adopt ordinance annexing AX-20-004 for full purposes.
DISCUSSION:
On November 10, 2020, representatives for the property owners TSMJV, LLC, submitted an application for full -purpose annexation of the property
shown on Exhibit A into the City of Fort Worth. The subject property is located entirely in that portion of the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction which is
in Tarrant County. The site is located east of Park Vista, south of Alliance Gateway, west of Alta Vista along Keller -Haslet Road. The owner -
initiated annexation contains approximately 29.867 acres of land. The subject area is currently agricultural, residential, and vacant land. The
property is proposed for residential type development. The proposed use is compatible with the future land use map of the 2020 Comprehensive
Plan.
On December 9, 2020, the related zoning case (ZC-20-143) will be heard by the Zoning Commission, and the commission will vote on
the approval of the requested zoning to City Council. The requested zoning is "A-5" One -Family Residential.
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. A fiscal impact analysis was generated with the
assistance of various City Departments. The city tax revenue is expected to have a positive fiscal impact over the next ten years after the
proposed development has been built. Based on the operating costs projected from the Police, Code Compliance and Transportation and Public
Works Departments, the fiscal impact shows a slightly negative effect to the General Fund for the first year, but will have a positive impact
thereafter. Therefore, due to the ability of the area to meet the City's annexation criteria for full -purpose annexation staff recommends approval of
the requested owner -initiated annexation, AX-20-004.
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 and adopt an ordinance
annexing Normandy Farms.
Upon approval of the annexation request, the property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that based upon approval of the above recommendation and adoption of the attached ordinance, the annexation
will have a long-term positive impact to the General Fund.
