CONSENT HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Development Agreements in Lieu of Annexation with Multiple
Property Owners for Certain Property Located Generally East of Heritage Parkway and
North of Westport Parkway (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a Development Agreement
between the City and multiple property owners for the application of development standards in lieu of
annexation for property located generally east of Heritage Parkway and north of Westport Parkway in
unincorporated Denton and Tarrant County.
DISCUSSION:
State law requires a municipality to offer development agreements in lieu of annexation to property
owners who maintain a current agricultural tax exemption on property considered for annexation. If a
development agreement is signed, the property will retain its extraterritorial jurisdiction status until it
loses its agricultural exemption or the development agreement expires, whichever comes first.
The five -year annexation program identifies Area 3 -1 for annexation consideration this year where
property owners have opted for development agreements in lieu of annexation. Approximately 491
acres of land in Area 3 -1 qualify for the development agreement in lieu of annexation, as shown on
Exhibit A. The owners of these properties have signed their respective agreements.
The development agreements will provide for the enforcement of development regulations including:
zoning and subdivision ordinances in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, municipal building,
mechanical, plumbing, residential, energy and fire codes, building permit requirements, minimum
building standard codes, environmental protection /compliance and health codes, prohibitions on
septic tanks, gas drilling and production ordinance, and other City regulations as they currently exist
or may be enacted in the future. Additionally, the owners consent to the jurisdiction of the City's
Municipal Court, boards and commissions to enforce City codes and regulations, as well as
prosecuting criminal violations of City regulations. The development agreements cause the properties
to be generally in compliance with development standards within the City limits.
All properties are in the extraterritorial jurisdiction adjacent to COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on
City funds.
