DATE: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 REFERENCE NO.: PZ-3015
LOG NAME: 065030 ADOPT AX-13-001
SUBJECT:
Consider Institution and Adoption of Ordinance for the Owner-Initiated Annexation of Approximately 0.5
Acre of Land, South of Intermodal Parkway and West of FM-156, AX-13-001 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council institute and adopt the attached ordinance annexing
approximately 0.5 acre of land, south of Intermodal Parkway and west of FM-156, JBH Westport, AX-13-
001.
DISCUSSION:
On January 3, 2013, representatives for the property owner AIL Investments, LP, submitted an application
for the full-purpose annexation of the above-referenced property into the City of Fort Worth. The property
is situated within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Fort Worth and is anticipated to be developed
as a portion of a larger industrial lot. The annexation area is east of the BNSF Intermodal transfer facility
in the Alliance industrial growth center.
This request meets the criteria defined in Texas Local Government Code Section 43.028 for owner-
initiated annexation and will not require public hearings. The adoption of the attached ordinance
completes the annexation process.
The fiscal impact analysis shows that the property will have positive impact to the General Fund over 10
years. The Police Department has estimated no impact, and other General Fund services have estimated
no impact, due to the non-residential nature of the proposed annexation area. The City is able to provide
municipal services upon annexation in accordance with State law without negatively impacting service
provision within the City. Annexation of this site is consistent with the City's annexation policy of annexing
property proposed for urban development and for areas within industrial growth centers.
If annexed, this property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on the
City's funds.
