DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to conduct a public hearing for the proposed owner -initiated annexation of
approximately 52.972 acres of land in Tarrant County, known as Mary's Creek Parcel 01 and located north of Interstate Highway 30, south of
Chapin Road, and east of Walsh Ranch Parkway, as shown on Exhibit A, to authorize the execution of a Municipal Services Agreement between
the City of Fort Worth and the property owner, Mary's Creek, LLC and to adopt an ordinance annexing AX-26-001 for full purposes.
On February 20, 2020, representatives for the property owner for Mary's Creek, LLC., submitted a request for full -purpose annexation of the
property shown on Exhibit A into the City of Fort Worth (City). The owner -initiated annexation is consistent with the urban development annexation
criteria as established by the City's Annexation Policy.
The subject area is currently agricultural and vacant land. The property owner proposes the land use for the site to be developed for industrial types
uses. The future land use map in the 2023 Comprehensive Plan designates the property as "Single -Family Residential". 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 March 12, 2026, the City Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend changing the
future land use designation from "Single -Family Residential" to "Light Industrial" to be consistent with the proposed use.
On April 8, 2026, the related zoning case (ZC-26-012) was heard by the Zoning Commission, and the commission voted to recommend approval
of the requested Light Industrial (1) zoning to the City Council. This related zoning case requesting "I" Light Industrial as the base zoning district for
the property is also on the May 12, 2026, City Council agenda for consideration.
The site is currently in the City's Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN). This site is included in the City's 20-year Planned Service Area.
Subchapter C-3 of Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC) provides for the process of annexation of an area upon the 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 the level of service contemplated or projected in the area.
The City will also provide operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities; roads and streets, including road and street lighting; and
of any other publicly owned facility, building, or service in the annexed area.
The proposed uses were considered while assessing the financial impact on the General Fund. The city tax revenue is expected to have a positive
fiscal imoact over the next 10 vears after the or000sed development has been built. Based on the ooeratina costs Droiected by the Police. Code
Compliance and Transportation and Public Works Departments, the fiscal impact shows that the City is expected to make a return on public
investment by the first year and a positive impact will continue thereafter. Based on the projected positive fiscal impact of the proposed annexation
,and its alignment with departmental goals, City staff recommend that Mary's Creek Parcel 01 (AX-26-001) be considered for annexation at this
time.
Section 43.0673 in Subchapter C-3 of Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC), requires a municipality that elects to annex an
area upon the request of an owner to provide notice of public hearings on the proposed annexation. Notice was posted on the City of Fort Worth
Annexation webpage on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, and was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on Friday, May 1, 2026.
Additional notices were sent certified mail to public entities to include Tarrant County Appraisal Districts, Emergency Services District No.
1, Tarrant County Administrator, Fort Worth Independent School District and public utilities.
The City Council will conduct a public hearing on the proposed annexation. The public hearing provides for persons interested in the annexation
the opportunity to be heard. After the City Council has conducted the one required public hearing, the Council may dose the hearing and vote on
authorizing the City Manager to execute the Municipal Services Agreement between the City and property owner and to adopt an
ordinance annexing this property.
Upon approval of the annexation request, the property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached ordinance, the annexation will
have a long-term positive impact on the General Fund.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY
Comprehensive Plan Alignment:
The annexation aligns with the following Comprehensive Plan policies:
1. Promote fiscally sustainable growth on the periphery of the city by encouraging development adjacent to
existing adequate infrastructure and discouraging leapfrog development.
2. Ensure that land use changes do not adversely affect the integrity of established neighborhoods through
appropriate buffering and transitions.
3. Locate large industrial uses along freight rail lines, highways, or airports within industrial growth centers
and other appropriate locations.
4. Diversify the City's tax base by encouraging the development of industrial, commercial, and office uses
that provide high -quality jobs.
Land Use Recommendation:
The adopted 2023 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use (FLU) Map designates the 52.97-acre annexation area
as Single -Family Residential. Based on the concept plan provided, the Future Land Use Map is proposed for an
amendment to change the Future Land Use designation for the property from Single -Family Residential to Light
Industrial. While the proposal entails a significant change in Future Lland Use designation, the location of the
annexation area - between the Westside Landfill and a G-zoned property along 1-30 - suggests that future
residential development within the annexation boundary is no longer compatible with existing and future
adjacent land uses.
Both the current FLU Map and the recommended FLU Amendment Map are shown below. City staff support
this Future Land Use Map amendment if the annexation is approved.
