Adopt Ordinance Vacating a Portion of an Alley in Block 2, JN Brookers Subdivision of Block 11, Fields Welch Addition between Magnolia Avenue and West Rosedale Street to be Replatted with the Adjoining Property for a CVS Pharmacy and Associated Parking Lot (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)

It is recommended that the City Council:

1.  Adopt the attached ordinance vacating a portion of an alley in Block 2, JN Brookers Subdivision of Block 11, Fields Welch Addition between Magnolia Avenue and West Rosedale Street to be replatted with the adjoining property for a CVS Pharmacy and associated parking lot; and

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

Carson Consulting Engineers, Inc., on behalf of CVS Pharmacy, Inc., has requested vacation of this portion of an alley to be replatted with the adjoining property for a new pharmacy and parking lot. The City Plan Commission recommended approval of this request at its meeting on February 27, 2019. An acceptable final plat (FS-19-010) has been received in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance.

The City of Fort Worth (City) originally obtained the above mentioned right-of-way through plat dedication. The City does not own any fee interest in the rights-of-way or own any property adjacent to the right-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, Mayor and Council Communication (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.
