SUBJECT
(CD 6) Authorize Attached Joint Ordinance and Boundary Agreement with the City of Crowley to Adjust the City Limit Boundaries Between the
Cities of Fort Worth and Crowley for 0.341 Acres of Land
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the attached Joint Ordinance and Boundary Agreement between the Cities of Fort Worth and Crowley; and
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the attached Joint Ordinance and Boundary Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
During autumn of 2019, Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc. contacted staff and requested a meeting to discuss a boundary adjustment between the
Cities of Fort Worth and Crowley. The property is located east of Main Street, north of FM 1187 (Rendon Crowley Road) and west of Union Pacific
Railroad, as shown in exhibit A. The property owner is proposing a commercial development for this property, as shown in exhibit B. The
proposed development straddles both Fort Worth and Crowley city limits. The property owner desires for the entire site of a proposed Braum's
restaurant to be located within one jurisdiction. The property owner is requesting a boundary adjustment to bring one commercial lot located at the
northeast corner of FM 1187 (Rendon Crowley Road) and Main Street from Fort Worth city limits into Crowley city limits.
A larger parcel which is the site of the proposed building is already located in Crowley city limits. The 0.341 acres is a Public Access Easement
(PAE) and the City of Fort Worth does not receive tax benefits from parking lots or PAEs that serve facilities outside of our city limits. This
development will be getting water/wastewater service from the City of Crowley. The City of Fort Worth agrees to allow the City of Crowley to
provide water service to the property which is located within Fort Worth's Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN). Fort Worth also
agrees to the inclusion of the property into Crowley's CCN.
The proposed Braum's site is adjacent to FM 1187, Fort Worth's Master Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) roadway. This roadway is described as a
Commercial Connector, three -lane, No Special Facility, Non -traversable median — standard, No Parking, Off-street sidepath, 130 foot wide, on the
MTP [CCO-L3-TO-NTMS-PO-BOP (130)]. There will not be right-of-way dedication required from Fort Worth. It is a Texas Department of
Transportation (TXDOT) roadway, so TXDOT may still require public improvements.
The Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 43.015, authorizes adjacent municipalities to make mutually agreeable changes in their boundaries
for areas that are less than 1,000 feet in width. The purpose of these changes in boundaries is to promote orderly development, public safety and
effective delivery of municipal services. If the City Council approves the proposed boundary adjustment, the ordinance will be executed between
the Cities of Fort Worth and Crowley.
The proposed boundary adjustment is located in Fort Worth city limits and is part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: City of
Crowley
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of these recommedations will have no material effect on City funds.
