City of Fort Worth, Texas
Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 1/6/2015 - Ordinance No. 21612-01-2015
DATE: Tuesday, January 06, 2015 REFERENCE NO.: L-15738(Revised)
LOG NAME: 06AX-14-004 LONGHORN ROAD (AREA 36-1) R
SUBJECT:
Consider Institution and Adoption of Ordinance for the City-Initiated Annexation of Approximately 47.51
Acres of Land in Tarrant County, Located South of Longhorn Road and North of Northwest Loop 820, at
5785 North Main Street, AX-14-004 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council institute and adopt the attached ordinance annexing
approximately 47.51 acres of land located at 5785 North Main Street, South of Longhorn Road and North
of Northwest Loop 820 in Tarrant County, AX-14-004.
DISCUSSION:
This property was originally proposed as part of a larger annexation area including additional properties
separately owned by the Northwest Pipe Company and the City of Fort Worth. The larger annexation area
which was noticed in the public hearings included approximately 69.2 acres. However, the owner of the
Northwest Pipe Company recently submitted an application for a limited-purpose annexation of
approximately 21.5 acres of property. The staff has no objection and requests that consideration for full-
purpose annexation only be on that property which is located at 5785 North Main Street and consists of
approximately 47.51 acres. It is anticipated that the remaining property will be considered by the Council
for limited purpose annexation on April 14, 2015.
The property currently under consideration is situated within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of
Fort Worth, located at 5785 North Main Street, South of Longhorn Road and North of Northwest Loop 820.
The property is entirely surrounded by the City of Fort Worth and its extraterritorial jurisdiction. The area,
which covers approximately 47.51 acres, currently has railroad, infrastructure and vacant land uses. No
immediate plans for additional development are noted.
City Staff has submitted a corresponding zoning case. The Zoning Commission has recommended "I"
Light Industrial zoning. While the annexation and zoning are related cases, approval of the annexation is
not conditioned on the associated zoning also being presented for approval.
The fiscal impact analysis shows that the property will not have a long-term positive impact to the General
Fund, based on current land uses. The property has a full governmental tax-exemption and will not
produce any tax revenue for the City. The property tax revenue is expected to remain the same as no
change in ownership or use is anticipated. Based on operating costs projected from the Police, Code
Compliance and Transportation and Public Works Departments, the fiscal impact shows a negative effect.
Due to the enclave status of this city-initiated annexation, which is not required to have a positive fiscal
impact, the area meets the City's criteria for full-purpose annexation.
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
Logname: 06AX-14-004 LONGHORN ROAD (AREA 36-1) R Page 1 of 2
annexation policy of annexing property identified in the Comprehensive Plan as an enclave.
Public hearings were held on November 11, 2014 and November 18, 2014. The adoption of the attached
ordinance completes the annexation process.
If annexed, this property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, Mapsco 47H and 48E.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The fiscal impact analysis shows that the property will not have a long-term positive impact to the General
Fund, based on current land uses. The property has a full governmental tax-exemption and will not
produce any tax revenue for the City.
