SUBJECT
Title
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, Texas, setting a date, time, and place for two public hearings on the proposed annexation of certain properties generally located north of McKinney Street and west of Trinity Road by the City of Denton, Texas, authorizing and directing the City Secretary to publish notice of such public hearings.
Body
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Brent Murphree, on behalf of the property owner, Michael Holigan, has submitted an annexation application to voluntarily annex approximately 118.041 acres of land. Located within DH-12 of the 2010 3-Year Annexation Plan, the subject property was initially scheduled for annexation in 2013. However, on December 18, 2012, the City Council approved non-annexation agreements (NAAs) for the subject properties. The NAAs are scheduled to expire on August 1, 2020 and the terms of the NAAs require that the properties remain in agricultural land or be subject to immediate voluntary annexation.
In December 2016, a prospective purchaser of the subject properties held a Pre-Development Meeting (PDM) with the City’s Development Review Committee to discuss development of the site as a manufactured housing development. The applicant was informed at the PDM, that the proposed development would violate the terms of the NAAs and trigger immediate voluntary annexation. In March 2017, the applicant assumed ownership of the subject properties and has submitted two applications - one for annexation and one for a zoning district designation of Neighborhood Residential (NR-6). Manufactured housing is only permitted with the approval of a Specific Use Permit (SUP) and the applicant will be pursing this if the zoning designation is approved.
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish public hearing dates for the annexation. The tentative schedule for this annexation is as follows:
• May 23, 2017 - City Council meeting setting the 1st and 2nd public hearing dates and authorizing the publication of notice of the public hearings
• June 13, 2017 - 1st Public Hearing
• June 20, 2017 - 2nd Public Hearing
• July 18, 2017 - First Reading of the Annexation Ordinance
• July 19, 2017 - Publication of the Annexation Ordinance in the newspaper
• August 22, 2017 - Second Reading and Adoption of the Annexation Ordinance
