SUBJECT
Title
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas setting dates, times, and place for public hearings on the proposed annexation of certain property generally located north of Ryan Road, west of FM 2181 (Teasley Lane) and Lake Forest Good Samaritan Village, and east of Country Club Road by the City of Denton, Texas, authorizing and directing the City Secretary to publish notice of such public hearings.
Body
BACKGROUND
On March 3, 2015, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2015-072, accepting a Non-Annexation Agreement (NAA) for agricultural, wildlife management, or timberland use properties within an area of land generally located on the north and south sides of Ryan Road, consisting of approximately 85 acres. The subject property was included in the NAA.
The NAA was scheduled to terminate on March 1, 2016. However, prior to termination of the NAA, the property owner(s) requested an extension of the NAA to enable the creation of a Pre-Annexation Development Agreement (PADA) pursuant to the Local Government Code for the properties located on the south side of Ryan Road. The 4.7 acre subject property was not included in the PADA.
On February 16, 2016, staff presented to City Council an analysis outlining the intent of a PADA and associated advantages of creating a comprehensive development agreement for the subject site. On March 1, 2016, the City Council extended the NAA for an additional 120 days to afford staff and the developer the opportunity to author the proposed PADA. With the extension, the NAA was scheduled to expire on June 29, 2016. On June 7, 2016, staff requested a second extension of the NAA to allow more time for the PADA preparation. At the meeting, the City Council extended the NAA for an additional 90 days. With the extension, the NAA was scheduled to expire on September 5, 2016. On August 9, 2016, the PADA was presented to City Council and on August 16, 2016, the City Council approved PADA. Since the 4.7 acre subject property was not included in the PADA, is already developed and with no reason to extend the NAA, the City Council directed staff to initiate an involuntary annexation of the subject property.
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish public hearing dates for the annexation. The tentative schedule for this annexation is as follows:
• February 21, 2017 - City Council meeting setting the 1st and 2nd public hearing dates and authorizing the publication of notice of the public hearings
• March 7, 2017 - 1st Public Hearing
• March 21, 2017 - 2nd Public Hearing
• April 11, 2017 - First Reading of the Annexation Ordinance
• April 12, 2017 - Publication of the Annexation Ordinance in the newspaper
• May 16, 2017 - Second Reading and Adoption of the Annexation Ordinance
