COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 12/13/2016
REFERENCE ** 06DEVELOPMENT
DATE: 12/13/2016 NO.: C-28027 LOG NAME: AGREEMENTS AREAS 3-1
AND 73-2
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Development Agreements in Lieu of Annexation with Multiple
Property Owners for Property Located in Potential Annexation Areas 3-1, Located in
Denton and Tarrant Counties, North of Westport Parkway and East of Heritage Parkway
and 73-2, Located South of SH 114 and West of FM 156, AX-11-005, Adjacent to Council
District 7 (FUTURE COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to:
1. Execute a Development Agreement between the City and multiple property owners for the
application of development standards in lieu of annexation for property in Area 3-1, located in Denton
and Tarrant Counties, North of Westport Parkway and East of Heritage Parkway, AX-11-013, in the
Far North Sector, future Council District 7; and
2. Execute a Development Agreement between the City and multiple property owners for the
application of development standards in lieu of annexation for property in Area 73-2, located South of
SH 114 and West of FM 156, AX-11-005, in the Far North Sector, future Council District 7.
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 two areas for annexation consideration this year where
property owners have opted for Development Agreements in lieu of annexation, Areas 3-1 and 73-2.
Approximately 491 acres of land in Area 3-1, located in Denton and Tarrant Counties, North of
Westport Parkway and East of Heritage Parkway, qualify for a Development Agreement in lieu of
annexation, as shown on Exhibit A. The City has received signed contracts from the Lutheran
Church Extension Fund-Missouri Synod, the Mount Olivet Cemetery Association, David Day, James
Wiggins, Marzelle Harkness, Raymond Short, and Steven Short.
Also, approximately 852.04 acres of land in Area 73-2, located South of SH 114 and West of FM 156,
in Denton County qualify for the Development Agreement in lieu of annexation, as shown on Exhibit
B. The City has received signed contracts from Doris Fenner, Bradley Judge, Jeffrey Judge and
Anthony Peterson.
The affected property owners were offered and, by signing, elected to renew their Development
Agreements in lieu of annexation. The Development Agreement 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
Agreement requires the properties to be generally in compliance with development standards within
the City limits.
Areas 3-1 and 73-2 are adjacent to COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
