• A 14.79-acre tract on the east side of Benbrook Boulevard (US 377) containing the Park
Ridge Stables will be transferred from Benbrook’s city limits to Fort Worth’s city limits.
• A 1.38-acre tract on the east side of Benbrook Boulevard (US 377) north of the railroad
(known as the old City/County garage) will be transferred from Benbrook’s city limits to
Fort Worth’s city limits.
• Benbrook agrees to dedicate a sewer easement through Whitestone Golf Course to
facilitate sewer service to Fort Worth west of Benbrook. The exact alignment and
construction schedule will be determined later.
• Benbrook agrees to not file suit over Fort Worth’s proposed Mary’s Creek wastewater
treatment plant, but reserves the right to participate in the permitting process.
• Benbrook agrees to coordinate the location and design of any future vehicle bridge over
the Clear Fork.
As part of a related Interlocal Agreement between Fort Worth and the Benbrook Water Authority
(BWA-included in the Joint Ordinance as Exhibit M), the Certificate of Convenience and Necessity
(CCN) boundaries of each City will be adjusted to reflect the city limits. In addition, the BWA will
provide up to 2.88 million gallons per day (MGD) of treated water and fire flow and up to 0.6
MGD of sanitary sewer capacity to a portion of Fort Worth’s service area to the west of Benbrook
on an interim basis. If BWA’s lacks capacity, Fort Worth will provide treated water to Benbrook
on a pass-through basis. All costs for extending service (including meters) will be the
responsibility of the developer, and BWA is not obligated for any expense.
Next Steps
Following adoption by the Benbrook City Council, the Fort Worth City Council considered and
approved the Joint Ordinance on the September 23, 2014 agenda. The BWA formally approved
their Interlocal Agreement with Fort Worth on October 7, 2014.
Upon adoption of the Joint Ordinance by both cities, some boundaries changed as specified in
the Ordinance. In cases where extraterritorial jurisdiction was transferred to Benbrook, Staff
developed an Annexation Plan for consideration by City Council, in accordance with State law.
These annexations are scheduled for 2015.
