Fort Worth council annexes 152-acre Overland site, approves companion commercial zoning
Summary
The City Council adopted an annexation ordinance for a 152-acre owner-initiated commercial site along Chisholm Trail (AX24013) and approved companion intensive commercial zoning (CZ-24-167). Staff reported a projected five‑year net fiscal gain of about $12.5 million and a 40‑year cumulative net of roughly $104 million.
The Fort Worth City Council on Jan. 14 approved the full‑purpose annexation of a 152‑acre property identified as AX24013 and adopted a companion zoning case to allow intensive commercial uses on the site.
City planner Derek Hull said the owner‑initiated annexation — listed in staff materials as Overland AX24013 — is 100% commercial and lies east of Chisholm Trail north of Oakmont in the Wedgwood planning sector. Hull told council staff prepared a fiscal‑impact analysis projecting a positive net impact of about $12,500,000 in the first five years and a cumulative net revenue of roughly $104,000,000 over 40 years.
The measure also included authorization to execute a municipal service agreement with the property owners and adoption of the annexing ordinance. Councilmember Williams moved to close the public hearing and approve; the motion carried.
Why it matters: The annexation brings land within Fort Worth’s full municipal authority and sets the stage for commercial development and related infrastructure needs in an area adjacent to an existing corridor of growth. City staff and council framed the action as consistent with the city’s annexation policy and the adopted future land‑use designations for mixed use.
Council action and next steps: With annexation and zoning approved, staff noted a related case (CZ‑24‑167) would be heard concurrently; the council approved that companion zoning at the same meeting. Staff and the property owner will execute the municipal service agreement and proceed with application requirements and permitting for future development.
Clarifying details: The annexation was described as owner‑initiated and “full purpose.” Staff cited approximately 152 acres of site area and a fiscal analysis prepared by the city estimating a five‑year positive impact of about $12.5 million and an approximate 40‑year cumulative net revenue of about $104 million. The site is within the Wedgwood planning sector and located along the eastern side of Chisholm Trail. The applicant names provided in staff materials were Southwest Pastors Ltd. and Encore Electric Delivery Company LLC.
