Fort Worth is moving toward annexing 111 acres at FM 1187 and the Chisholm Trail Parkway at the property owner’s request, because Texas Health Resources has inquired about securing 10 acres of the site to build a hospital.
Fort Worth City Council members are expected to consider the annexation in September, after the City Plan Commission voted 10-1 July 9 to recommend that the city annex the property at the northwest corner of FM 1187 and the Chisholm Trail.
The council is tentatively scheduled to hear the Brewer Blvd. 2.0 case Sept. 29, the city staff told commissioners.
The annexation request came from Hayco Realty, Ltd., which would have to be able to bring city services to the site to complete the deal with Texas Health, Andrea Taylor, a principal at MMA, an Arlington engineering firm representing Hayco, told commissioners.
“That’s what has spurred this,” she said. The landowner didn’t contemplate developing the property for years before THR’s approach, she said.
The site, now in extra territorial jurisdiction, is vacant. Once the land is annexed, the owner contemplates asking the city for mixed-use low-intensive commercial zoning. That would accommodate retail and residential uses, including big box stores such as grocery and home improvement. About 30% of the site is in the floodplain.
“Although we have no specific plans to announce for the FM 1187 and Chisholm Trail Parkway area at this time, Texas Health is committed to meeting the region’s growing healthcare needs,” Texas Health spokeswoman Deanna Boyd-Spangler said in a statement to the Fort Worth Report.
The site is south of the Tarleton State University Fort Worth campus and would link to that community of students, faculty and staff.
Commissioner Denise Turner moved to recommend approval of the annexation application to the city council.
