It is recommended that the City Council:

DISCUSSION:

Gorrondona and  Associates, on behalf of Burnett Lofts FW, LLC, has requested vacation of this portion of right-of-way to be replatted with the adjoining property for a new multi-family development in downtown to be known as Burnett Lofts. The City Plan Commission recommended approval of this request at its meeting on July 25, 2018.  An acceptable final plat (FS-15-089) 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 street.

This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.

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

 
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:

The Director of Finance certifies that approval of these recommendations will have no material effect on City funds.  Any assets recorded on the City's financial statements associated with this land will be adjusted upon approval.
