CODE: PZ TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC HEARING: NO
SUBJECT:  

Adopt Ordinance Vacating Portions of an Alley and a Public Access Easement Between 6th Avenue and Lake Street in Block 8, J. A. Lee's Subdivision of Fields-Welch Addition for Future Development in the Near Southside (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)


RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt Ordinance vacating portions of an alley and a public access easement between 6th Avenue and Lake Street in Block 8, J. A. Lee's Subdivision of Fields-Welch Addition for future development in the Near Southside; and

2. Waive any and all purchase fee value of the vacated land in accordance with City policy.

 
DISCUSSION:

Teague Nall and Perkins, Inc., on behalf of Texas Health Resources, has requested vacation of these portions of this alley along with the public access easement  to be replatted with the adjoining property for future development in the Near Southside. The City Plan Commission recommended approval of this request at its meeting on November 17, 2017.  An acceptable final plat (FS-17-186) has been received in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance.

The City of Fort Worth (City) originally obtained the above mentioned rights-of-way through platting process. The City does not own any fee interest in the rights-of-way or own any property adjacent to the rights-of-way and did not expend any City funds to purchase the right-of-way easement.  In accordance with the City's policy regarding street and alley vacation transactions approved by the City Council on March 6, 2007, (M&C G-15624), Staff recommends waiving the fair market value or any portion thereof of purchase price of this right-of-way easement for the alley.

This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.

This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
