RECOMMENDATION HIGHLIGHTS
Expenditures:
The Transportation and Public Works Department has estimated costs for service and infrastructure, which
are expected to increase with additional development and aging infrastructure. Collaborative efforts with
other departments aim to improve future cost estimates, particularly with the help of FWLab. Costs to the
City include maintenance, construction, and reconstruction of public streets, parkland operation costs,
stormwater maintenance, emergency services, environmental quality, animal control, and water department
extensions.

Expenditures:
Anticipated future City expenditures include maintenance and reconstruction of public streets, parkland
operational costs, stormwater management, emergency services, environmental quality, and animal
control operations. Note that Water Department revenues and City cost participation for Water
Department extensions are not factored into these calculations. The costs are expected to increase with
development and infrastructure aging, impacting annual revenue requirements to maintain infrastructure
and provide City services.
Revenues:
After completing the proposed development project, the City anticipates an estimated annual property tax
revenue of $104,729, reaching a cumulative total of $3,942,844 within forty years, assuming no changes in
value or tax rates.
Applicable Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policies:
Several Comprehensive PIan policies guide the proposed annexation, emphasizing industrial development
in specific growth areas, locating large industrial uses strategically, and protecting significant industrial
districts.
Land Use Recommendation:
The proposed Industrial Growth Center land use is relatively consistent with the adopted Light Industrial
Future Land Use designation. However, to improve consistency further, FWLab recommends amending
the Future Land Use Map to designate the property as an Industrial Growth Center during the next
Comprehensive Plan update.
Overall Recommendation:
3
February 26, 2024
Anticipated positive impacts on the General Fund after construction support the staff recommendation to
consider the Whitacre Tract for annexation. Staff further recommends adopting amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to align with the proposed use of the land that would be
annexed.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY
The adopted 2023 Comprehensive Plan designates the proposed annexation area as Light Industrial on the
City's Future Land Use Map. The annexation application for the property proposes Industrial use as an
addition to the Alliance Airport Industrial Growth Center immediately north of the site.
The proposed (K) Heavy Industrial zoning and use within the annexation area is currently inconsistent
with the adopted Future Land Use Map. While the annexation proposal retains the industrial land use type
identified in the Comprehensive Plan, the proposal seeks to change the land use to be included in the
Industrial Growth Center to the north of the site. Given the developing industrial uses in the immediate
area, the proposed land use and designation is compatible with the surrounding uses, both existing and
currently planned.
Staff recommends amending the Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan to designate the
property as an Industrial Growth Center where the corresponding industrial use is proposed. The Future
Land Use Maps below show the currently adopted designations for the area, as well as staff s proposed
changes to the Future Land Use Map to bring the map into alignment with the proposed land uses.

WATER DEPARTMENT
As of February 20, 2024, there has been no pre -development conference or submission of a water -sewer
review for the proposed annexation area. The comments provided are based on assumptions made by the
Water Department staff, particularly in anticipation of an industrial land use development.
The Water Department staff envisions the developer installing approximately 2,400 linear feet of public
water infrastructure to cater to the site's needs. Additionally, it is expected that around 2,000 linear feet of
public sewer infrastructure, to be constructed by the developer, will be required to serve both the
proposed annexation area and adjacent properties. Notably, the developer must secure a new point
discharge permit from the Trinity River Authority to facilitate the connection and extension of sewer lines
from the existing TRA 27-inch sewer collector line.
The Water Department has formally requested the developer to promptly submit a water -sewer load
application for thorough review at their earliest convenience. This step is crucial to ensuring compliance
with regulatory requirements and facilitating the seamless integration of water and sewer services for the
proposed development and surrounding properties.
1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? List policies from
department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan,
Neighborhood Plan, etc.): Proposal aligns with the City Comprehensive Plan. The proposed annexation
aligns with the Water Department Water and Sewer Master Plans regarding land use.
2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? This annexation is not expected to
significantly impact KPis for the maintenance of water and sewer assets. The cumulative impacts of all
annexations on maintenance -related KPIs over time will be more significant. Utility management does
not anticipate a need for additional water/sewer capital improvements in this annexation area for the
foreseeable future.
3. Department Recommendation: Water Department supports annexation request.

February 26, 2024
TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS - STORMWATER
Given the provided information, it is anticipated that the proposed development will result in an
augmentation of storm infrastructure assets. The estimate suggests the installation of 12 new storm inlets
and approximately 4,743 linear feet of storm sewer pipes as integral components of this light industrial
development. Consequently, the Stormwater Division foresees a rise in maintenance costs based on the
most reliable information currently accessible.
It's important to note that future expenses are contingent upon the actual development of the area, subject
to the permits granted by the City's Development Department. The accuracy of projections relies heavily
on the specific details and scale of the development as it progresses within the parameters set by the City
authorities. Continuous collaboration and communication with the Development Department will be
crucial in refining and updating these estimates as the project advances.
1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? The annexation will
increase future maintenance costs and staff time required for the estimated storm system infrastructure
associated with this development. Additional staff may be required to maintain existing service levels
when the cumulative impacts of all annexations are considered.
2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? Following the development, this
particular annexation is not expected to significantly impact KPIs for the estimated increase in the storm
system infrastructure assets. The cumulative impacts of all annexations on maintenance -related KPls may
be more significant. Stormwater management does not anticipate a need for stormwater capital
improvements in this annexation area for the foreseeable future. Therefore, no impact to our capital delivery
key performance indicators is expected at this time.
3. Recommendation: Stormwater supports this annexation since the revenue is expected to be higher
than the anticipated combined capital expenses and maintenance expenses, assuming that the new
development will be built per the Cary's and FEMA's drainage regulations and standards.

department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan,
Neighborhood Plan, etc.): Old Denton road is not part of the Master Thoroughfare Plan and maintenance
will require a joint effort between the county and the city based upon ownership.
2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? not provided.
3. Department Recommendation: Supportive.

February 26, 2024
POLICE DEPARTMENT
The Police Department has projected demand for service based on the best information currently available.
Future expenses are highly dependent on the expected uses, density level, transportation infrastructure, and
timing of development. Operational, Capital, and Personnel expenses are unknown at this time and are
dependent on if a new patrol division, additional personnel (patrol officers, neighborhood police officers,
communications staff, etc.), or a new facility is necessary.
Once the property is fully developed, call load is estimated to be approximately 1-2 calls a year. The average
cost per call is $710 per officer. Based on the assumption that at least two officers will respond to a call,
$1,420 per call is used to calculate the cost of service. The average annual cost of service for this
development is estimated to be $1,420 - $2,840 for light industrial. Estimated expenditures assume that
there are 2 calls per year and two officers responding to each call. An inflation rate of 3% was used to
calculate the expenditures. Expenditures are rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? List policies from
department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan,
Neighborhood Plan, etc.): Additional calls for service will increase operational needs for the Police
Department. As the land is developed, the Police Department will continue to evaluate call loads to
determine whether anew patrol division, additional personnel (patrol officers, neighborhood police officers,
communications staff, etc.), or a new facility is necessary.
2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? Once the property is fully developed,
Priority 1, 2, and 3 response times could increase for North Division, Police Beat F12, Police Reporting
Area 0320 depending on the expected uses, density level, transportation infrastructure, and timing of
development.

Fire Department Response Time Comments:
• Fire and EMS first responder services will be dispatched from existing Fire Station 35,
located at 2201 Flight Line Road, 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.
Fire Department Incidents Comments:
• 2022 produced 131 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 40.
• The estimated cost of an additional incident is $968. Multiplied by 40 incidents, the total
additional annual cost of responding to the annexation is estimated to be $38,720.
However, once the area becomes more fully developed or if zoning for the area changes,
this number will need to be adjusted.
• 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.
13
February 26, 2024
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
The proposed annexation of an area can have significant implications for Emergency Medical Services
(EMS). Adequate planning and communication are crucial to address potential challenges and maintain the
effectiveness of EMS operations during and after the annexation process.
1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and polities? List policies from
department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan,
Neighborhood Plan, etc.): MedStar's goal is to meet or exceed the needs of Fort Worth growth through
annexation. These costs and potential revenues are based on the current Citywide expenses per capita,
multiplied by the population projected when the annexation is fully developed and populated.
2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? It is anticipated that costs for
providing services to this area, at the 2023 service level, will exceed revenues generated from patient service

to the desired service level for this annexed area.
3. Department Recommendation: Proceed with Annexation if it meets the growth objectives of the City
of Fort Worth, with the knowledge that EMS funding sources, beyond patient services fees, may be required
to maintain desired service levels.

PUBLIC SAFETY RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
Assessing the proposed population growth from the annexation on public safety radio communications
will be important. The exponential increase in population size heightens demands on emergency services
and law enforcement, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation of our current communication
infrastructure. As the population expands, so does the potential for emergencies and public safety
incidents, highlighting the critical importance of a robust and scalable radio communication system. To
ensure the efficacy of public safety efforts, strategic investments and enhancements to the radio
communication technology will be continuously reviewed. Radio coverage in the proposed area has 100%
coverage with existing communication infrastructure and does not require significant improvement
investment.

CODE COMPLIANCE - ANIMAL CONTROL (ACC)
Once the property is fully developed, call load is estimated to be approximately 10-20 calls a year. The
average cost per call is $100 per officer. The average annual cost of service for this development is
estimated to be $2000. Estimated expenditures assume that there are 20 calls per year.
1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? List policies from
department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan,
Neighborhood Plan, etc.): Animal Control responds to all animal related calls for service including
wildlife concerns/informational requests. This annexation will increase calls for service regarding wildlife
but it's estimated of a >1% increase of calls for service concerning wildlife and an estimated >1% for all
other animal related calls for service. Additional calls for service will increase operational needs. As the
land is developed, Animal Control will continue to evaluate call loads to determine whether additional
personnel are needed.
2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? May increase response times for
the entire district due to location being further away from the majority of calls for service within the
district, travel time, and proper investigation of all calls required. Once the property is fully developed,
Priority 1, 2, and 3 response times could increase.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? List policies from
department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan,
Neighborhood Plan, etc: The proposed industrial and undeveloped land use is expected to have a
moderate service need from our division. Grading and land disturbance will be subject to the grading
permitting process and subsequent inspections. After development, the industrial nature of the proposed
development will require regular stormwater inspections. However, current staffing is sufficient to
complete these duties. Both inspection types are documented in Chapter 4 of the Environmental Master
Plan.
As the majority of the site will be developed, it is not expected to be significantly impacted by illegal
dumping and other nuisances.
2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators?
Once development begins, the number of routine investigations for the Water Quality team included in
KPI CC.5.2 would increase. However, current staffing is sufficient to complete these during authorized
timelines. Therefore, this proposal is not expected to negatively impact this key performance indicator.

SUMMARY AND OVERALL RECOMMENDATION (COMPLETED BY THE FW LAB)
Expenditures, Revenues, and Cumulative Total Summary
The Transportation and Public Works Department has calculated estimates for the cost per lane mile of
both construction and maintenance expenses. Collaborative efforts with other departments, facilitated by
the FWLab, are underway to enhance the precision of future cost estimates. This collaborative initiative is
anticipated to bring greater clarity to the Balance and Cumulative Total figures in forthcoming fiscal impact
analyses.

Expenditures
• Service and infrastructure costs will increase over time as additional development occurs and as
infrastructure ages and needs maintenance and eventual replacement. Depending on the
development's tax generation over time, the annual revenue needed to maintain infrastructure and
services to the development may be strained to cover costs associated with the development. Future
costs to the City include:
o Maintenance, construction, and eventual reconstruction of public streets within the
development
o Mowing, forestry, and operational costs for parkland
a Stormwater operation and maintenance
o Police, Fire, and EMS services
o Environmental quality operational costs and code compliance operations
o Animal control operations
o Water Department will extend service through cost participation as needed.
Revenues
• FoIlowing completion of the proposed development project, total City property tax revenue is estimated
to be $104,729 per year with a cumulative total of $3,942,844 within forty years (assuming no change
in value or tax rate).
Applicable Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policies
The following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the proposed annexation:
1. Promote industrial development within the Meacham, Alliance, and Alliance Gateway East
Industrial Growth Centers.
2. Locate large industrial uses along freight rail lines, highways, or airports within Industrial Growth
Centers and other appropriate locations.
3. Ensure protection for other significant industrial districts with concentrations of manufacturing,
transportation, and warehousing businesses that generate heavy truck traffic.
KPA
February 26, 2024
Land Use Recommendation
The proposed Industrial land use is relatively consistent with the adopted Light Industrial Future Land Use
designation. However, the proposed Industrial Growth Center designation is more appropriate as an
expansion of the Alliance Airport Industrial Growth Center given its adjacency and similar pattern of land
uses. If the City Council approves this proposed annexation, FWLab staff recommends amending the Future
Land Use Map to designate the property as Industrial Growth Center. If the property is annexed, FWLab
will propose these map amendments during the next Comprehensive Plan update.
Overall Recommendation
Annual impacts on the General Fund are expected to be positive following construction, based on the
information provided by departments and the developer. Due to the ability of the area to meet the City's
criteria for full -purpose annexation, staff recommends that the Whitacre Tract be considered for
annexation at this time. Further, staff recommends that the above amendments be adopted to the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map.

LOG NAME: 06AX-23-010 WHITACRE TRACT— OWNER INITIATATED
SUBJECT
(Future CD 10) Conduct Public Hearing, Authorize Execution of Municipal Services Agreement and Consider Adopting Ordinance for the
Proposed Owner -Initiated Annexation of Approximately 18.49 Acres of Land in Denton County, Known as the Whitacre Tract, Located North of Old
Denton Road and West of Elizabethtown Cemetery Road, in the Far North Planning Sector, AX-23-010
(PUBLIC HEARING - a. Report of City Staff: Stuart Campbell; 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 18.49 acres of land in Denton County, known as the
Whitacre Tract, located north of Old Denton Road and west of Elizabethtown Cemetery Road, as shown on Exhibit A;
2. Authorize execution of municipal services agreement between the City of Fort Worth and property owners, AIL Investment, LP; and
3. Adopt ordinance annexing the property described in AX-23-010 for full purposes
DISCUSSION:
On November 15, 2023, representatives for the property owners AIL Investment, LP, submitted a request for full -purpose annexation of the property
shown on Exhibit A into the City of Fort Worth (City). The subject property is located entirely in that portion of the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction
which is in Denton County. The site is located north of Old Denton Road and west of Elizabethtown Cemetery Road. The owner -initiated
annexation, which is approximately 18A9 acres, is part of an enclave. Annexation of this site is consistent with the urban development annexation
criteria as established by the City's Annexation Policy of being development that will require water, sewerage and other municipal services to
promote public health, safety and welfare.
The subject area is currently agricultural and vacant land. The property owner proposes the site for industrial development. The proposed land use
is inconsistent with the future land use map of the 2023 Comprehensive Plan. Per Subdivision Ordinance, Section 31-2(b)(1), the City Plan
Commission is required to study and make a recommendation on proposals for voluntary annexations that are inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. On January 24, 2024, the City Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the inconsistent land uses
proposed in annexation case AX-23-010.
The 2023 Comprehensive Plan identifies the future land use for this site as Light Industrial. The City Plan Commission recommends a change the
future land use map for this site, from "Light Industrial" to "Industrial Growth Center". The proposed development is compatible with current
surrounding land uses, but not consistent with the future land use.
The related zoning case (ZC-23-189) was heard by the Zoning Commission on February 14, 2024. The Commission voted to recommend
approval of the requested zoning,district of "IC" Heavy Industrial. This related zoning case is on this March 26, 2024 City Council agenda for
consideration.
The site is currently in the City's Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN). Furthermore, this site is also located within one of the City's 20-
year Planned Service Areas.
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.
Emergency services will be provided through the City of Fort Worth. The City's Fire Department will provide emergency and fire protection
services comparable with the provision of services available in other parts of the municipality with topography, land use and population density
similar to be the level of service contemplated or projected in the area. Emergency medical services will be provided by City's Fire Department
and MedStar or other entity engaged by the City. The City's Police Department will provide protection and law enforcement services.
The proposed uses were considered while assessing the financial impact to the General Fund. A fiscal impact analysis was prepared by the Fort
ti
Worth Lab with the assistance of other City Departments. 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 criteria for full -purpose annexation staff recommends approval of the
requested owner -initiated annexation, AX-23-010.
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 annexing AX-
23-010 for full purposes.
If annexed, this property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 10.
FISCAL INFORMATION 1 CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that based upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached ordinance, the annexation
will have a long-term positive impact to the General Fund.
