Willow Park is in the process of annexing approximately 232 acres along FM 1187 and Bankhead Highway East. In order to complete the annexation, the city will also annex approximately 11 acres of East Bankhead Highway, [#2] and approximately 1.034 acres of FM 1187 [#3]
Currently referred to as the Brothers in Christ project, the land was in the Aledo and the Fort Worth Extra-territorial jurisdictions (ETJ) [#1, #2], but neither city could offer city utilities at that location, so the owners turned to Willow Park.
Bryson Adams, listed as co-owner, who attended the 11 June 2024 Council Meeting [#2], told WPC there were no firm plans for the land usage, but there were possibilities of a commercial gas station / convenience store, "like QT" on FM 1187, and residential houses "behind" the commercial business.
The annexation process includes the following:
• Petition the City of Aledo and the City of Fort Worth to exit their ETJs.
• Petition to be annexed into the City of Willow Park, including Public Hearings and approval by the City.
• All annexed property comes into city limits as Residential Zone 1, so the owners will apply to re-zone for commercial zone and residential zone.
• Petition for re-zoning will come before the Planning and Zoning Commission with Pubic Hearings and P&Z approval.
• P&Z approved, re-zoning petition will come before the City Council with Pubic Hearings and Council approval.
