The portion of Old Granbury Road proposed for annexation contains approximately 3.805 acres of land. It is fully within the extraterritorial jurisdiction that is within Tarrant County. It is located south of McPherson Boulevard and north of Stewart Feltz Road, in the Far Southwest planning sector. The proposed annexation site will continue to be used as right-of-way. On tonight's City Council agenda will be the first public hearing on the proposed service plan for the full -purpose annexation of 3.805 acres into Council District 6. The second public hearing for the service plan is scheduled to be held on August 24, 2021. The purpose of tonight's public hearing is to receive public comments on the city -initiated annexation service plan for the eastern half of Old Granbury Road (AX-21-009). The annexation area will receive full services immediately upon annexation. Any impact of this annexation will be built into the City's long-term financial forecast of the General Fund. The only Council action necessary is to close the public hearing after receiving public input. Final annexation action will take place at the September 14, 2021 City Council meeting.
