Title
Conduct the first of two readings of an ordinance to annex approximately 16 acres generally located on the north side of Barthold Road, approximately 340 feet west of the I-35 Southbound Service Road (A17-0002).
Body
BACKGROUND
On February 21, 2017, the City Council approved a rezoning request by Blue Beacon Truck Wash for approximately 5.3 acres located at the northwest corner of I-35 and Barthold Road. According to the applicant, the intent of the rezoning was to facilitate development of the site with a triple-bay truck wash. As conceptual designs of the development have progressed, it has been determined that the proposal must expand into the adjacent 16 acres to the west in order to provide adequate access along Barthold Road. This adjacent 16 acres is located in the City of Denton’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) which is subject to a Non-Annexation Agreement (NAA), executed on March 16, 2016.
In order to comply with the NAA, the property owner must maintain farm, ranch, and single-family uses on the property. Any development inconsistent with these uses would terminate the NAA, and the property would be subject to annexation. Since platting and development of the 16 acre site is contemplated, the owner of the property, Joseph O’Brion, President of H3H, L.L.C., submitted a voluntary petition for annexation of the subject property in writing on March 9, 2017.
The tentative schedule for annexation is as follows:
April 18, 2017 - City Council considers institution of annexation proceedings and holds the First Reading of the Annexation Ordinance.
June 6, 2017 - Second Reading of the Annexation Ordinance.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions)
A public hearing for the voluntary annexation petition and public comment of the subject property was held at the April 4, 2017 City Council meeting.
