fly's SUBJECT: PROPOSED ANNEXATION POLICY
In the fall of 2003, the City Council requested that staff assess the extent to which the City's current
annexation policy effectively furthers the strategic goals in the Comprehensive Plan. Based on that
assessment, City staff has been working to update the City's annexation policy in order to provide more
specific guidance for making annexation decisions and to promote more meaningful citizen participation
during the annexation process. City staff prepared a draft annexation policy and provided briefings on that
draft for various community groups and pertinent county governments. On April 9, Mayor Moncrief, in
consultation with the City Council, subsequently appointed the Annexation Policy Advisory Committee to
review the draft annexation policy and to provide guidance to the Council. The Advisory Committee met for
six weeks to address various policy issues, conducted a public forum to receive citizen comments, and
presented a recommended policy to the Council on June 8. On June 23, the City Plan Commission
conducted a public hearing and voted to endorse the recommended policy (Exhibit A).
The proposed annexation policy:
• Provides the City Council with specific and objective criteria for making annexation decisions.
• Provides for preparation of a five-year annexation prociram that identifies areas the City wishes to
rconsider for annexation.
1r , Provides the City and affected property owners, through the annexation program, with an appropriate
transition period by delaying certain City-initiated annexations for three or more years.
• Improves external communication by holding additional public information meetings and soliciting
comments from affected property owners, existing city residents and pertinent local government
agencies prior to initiating formal annexation hearings.
• Gives protesting property owners the opportunity to participate in negotiations related to the provision of
municipal services.
At their July 13 meetings, the City Council's Capital Improvement and Infrastructure Committee (CIIC) and
Central City Revitalization and Economic Development Committee (CCREDC) authorized staff to schedule a
public hearing on the proposed policy at the City Council's next available evening meeting. Members of the
ClIC and CCREDC also provided four comments relating to fiscal impact analysis, the effect of annexation
on the provision of services to existing City residents, and the necessity of holding additional public hearings.
• The first comment was a suggestion that the annexation policy address the total cost of annexation. The
proposed policy addresses this concern by including a detailed section on the preparation of fiscal impact
analysis (Section V). This section defines the revenues, expenditures, timeframe, per capita data
sources, and population estimates that are to be considered in the fiscal impact analysis, and also
prescribes the methodology by which the City is to conduct the analysis.
• The second comment was a suggestion that an independent third party prepare the fiscal impact
analysis. The proposed policy addresses this concern by including a provision (Section III.D.3) that
requires the City, at the request of affected property owners through a protest petition, to hire an
independent certified public accountant to conduct a third-party fiscal impact analysis for certain City-
r'Wr ' initiated annexations.

• The third comment was that annexation could inadvertently reduce the level of service provided to
existing City residents. The proposed annexation policy addresses this concern in the Annexation
Criteria and Procedures Section (Section 111). Each of the five criteria for full-purpose annexation
contains a condition that the City must be able to provide municipal services upon annexation without
negatively impacting service provision within the City (Section III.A). In addition, as a prerequisite for any
proposed full- or limited-purpose annexation, the City Manager is to certify that the proposed annexation
would have no adverse impact on the provision of municipal services within the City (Section III.C.1).
• The fourth comment was a suggestion that the City Council may wish to hold more than one public
hearing to receive citizen comments on the proposed annexation policy. The City Council will make this
decision after the August 5 public hearing.
In response to requests from both committees, staff has scheduled a City Council public hearing on the
proposed annexation policy for Thursday, August 5, during the regular Council meeting. Pending a decision
by the City Council as to whether or not to hold additional public hearings, staff will place an M&C on the
August 10 Council agenda to approve a resolution adopting the annexation policy and incorporating the
adopted policy into the City's Comprehensive Plan. "0")

Planning Director, at 817-392-8042.

DRAFT ANNEXATION POLICY
I. PURPOSE AND INTENT
The City of Fort Worth seeks to annex property within its extraterritorial jurisdiction for the
following purposes:
• To promote orderly growth by facilitating long-range planning for the provision of municipal
services and by applying appropriate land use regulations, development standards, property
maintenance standards, fire codes, construction codes and environmental regulations.
• To diversify the economic base and create job opportunities by annexing property for
commercial and industrial development.
To fulfill these purposes, the City has formulated this annexation policy in order to:
• Provide the City Council with more specific, objective, and prescriptive guidance for making
annexation decisions.
• Enable the City to be more proactive in identifying areas for annexation by providing for an
annually updated five-year annexation program.
• Provide for meaningful public participation in formulating the annexation program as part of
the annual update of the City's Comprehensive Plan.

development, the repayment timetable for any debt assumed in the analysis, or 10 years,
whichever is longer.
D. Per Capita Data Sources
For budget information, the most recently adopted Annual Budget shall be used. For total
population and land use data, the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan shall be used.
E. Population Estimate
To estimate population for an area, the number of housing units proposed for construction or
annexation shall be multiplied by the average household size for Fort Worth, or for a
comparable area within Fort Worth, according to the latest U.S. Census.
F. Methodology
1. Areas with Exis�tin or Proposed Development: If an area is fully developed, or
substantially undeveloped but subject to an approved concept plan and/or preliminary

EXHIBIT A
7115104 DRAFT—As recommended by the City Plan Commission
2. Annexations Initiated by the City: The City will conduct the fiscal impact analysis prior
to scheduling the required City Council public hearing on establishing the annexation
timetable.
VI. PREPARATION OF FIVE-YEAR ANNEXATION PROGRAM
The Planning Department, in cooperation with the Development Department and other pertinent
departments, shall prepare an annexation program that identifies areas that the City wishes to
consider for initiation of annexation during the succeeding five-year period. The program shall be
incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Plan, and revised as part of the annual update. The
program will estimate the year in which each proposed annexation might occur. In preparing its
capital improvement program and annual operating budget, the City shall determine the feasibility
of providing municipal services to areas identified in the annexation program. The City shall
involve property owners and community organizations from the extraterritorial jurisdiction, as well
as those from the City itself, in formulating the five-year annexation program.
In formulating the annexation program, the City shall assign priority to annexing areas that are
located within the geographic scope of its Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN), within
the geographic scope of another CCN that complies with the City of Fort Worth's standards for
water and wastewater infrastructure, or within a Municipal Utility District that complies with such
standards.
The City wishes to allocate sufficient time for the transition of proposed annexation areas from the
ET7 into the city. This transitional period would enable the City to arrange for the provision of
adequate municipal services, and would enable affected property owners to prepare for the impacts
of annexation. Accordingly, the annexation program shall delay any City-initiated annexations for
three years or more from the date of the annexation area's initial inclusion in the program. The
following kinds of annexation areas, however, shall be exempt from this waiting period:
• Street rights-of-way;
• Enclaves existing as of the date of adoption of this policy (see Map 1, attached), with fewer
than 100 lots or tracts containing residential dwellings;
• Interjurisdictional boundary adjustments;
• Areas with environmental conditions that pose an imminent threat to public health and safety,
as determined by the City Council;
• Areas that are subject to extraordinary economic development projects; and
• Areas with the minimum length and width necessary to provide contiguity with the city limits
for owner-initiated annexations.
Inclusion of an area in the five-year annexation program does not obligate the City to annex that
area. Similarly, exclusion of an area from the five-year annexation program does not prevent the
City from annexing the area.
VII. PREPARATION OF THREE-YEAR ANNEXATION PLAN
In accordance with Section 43.052 of the Texas Local Government Code, the City of Fort Worth 1
shall amend its annexation plan to identify certain areas that the City intends to annex. The
annexation plan must include any proposed annexation area with 100 or more separate lots or
8
EXHIBIT A
7115104 DRAFT—As recommended by the City Plan Commission
tracts of land containing residential dwellings. An area identified in the plan may only be annexed
Orr ,
beginning on the third anniversary of the date the plan is amended to include that area.
Upon adoption of the five-year annexation program, the Planning Department shall identify those
areas with 100 or more separate lots or tracts of land containing residential dwellings and schedule
necessary amendments to the annexation plan. The three-year annexation plan will not necessarily
contain all the areas that are included in the five-year annexation program.
VIII. EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION
In addition to public hearing requirements established by Sections 43.0561 and 43.124 of the
Texas Local Government Code, the City of Fort Worth shall seek to communicate with City
residents, affected property owners and pertinent government agencies throughout the annexation
process. The City shall use its website, community meetings,direct mail, the City Page, and other
appropriate media to disseminate information about any City-initiated annexation. Upon request,
the City's Community Relations Department shall assist affected property owners in establishing
neighborhood organizations so as to facilitate communication with the City.
The City shall seek public comments during the annual update of the annexation program at
meetings of various community organizations throughout the City and its extraterritorial
jurisdiction. At these meetings, the City shall explain the benefits of annexation, including full
municipal services; planning, zoning, health and safety regulations; economic development; and
orderly growth. The City shall also explain the costs to be incurred by the City and by affected
property owners as a result of annexation.
Prior to conducting formal public hearings on any City-initiated annexation, the City shall conduct
one or more public information meetings to explain the purpose of the annexation and to describe
the annexation process. The City shall notify affected property owners about these meetings by
direct mail.
Upon adoption of any annexation ordinance, the City shall notify the pertinent county government
agencies and affected property owners.
