Title
Consider/Discuss/Act on an Ordinance Consenting to the Annexation of a .901 Acre Property into Municipal Utility District No. 1 (Trinity Falls)
Summary
COUNCIL GOAL: Direction for Strategic and Economic Growth
MEETING DATE: March 7, 2017
DEPARTMENT: Development Services
CONTACT: Barry Shelton, AICP, Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of the ordinance consenting to the annexation of a 0.901 acre tract into Municipal Utility District No. 1 (the “District”).
ITEM SUMMARY:
• Municipal Utility District No. 1, also known as Trinity Falls, has petitioned for the City to consent to the annexation of a 0.901 acre tract into the District. The City has previously approved the addition of this parcel (November 2016), and this is merely a procedural requirement under the Texas Water Code to allow the District to annex additional territory.
• The current development agreement between the City of McKinney and Trinity Falls provides the City’s consent to annexations by the District. This parcel is not involved in any current negotiations with Trinity Falls.
• This agenda item is to approve an ordinance providing formal City consent to the subject property’s annexation into the MUD district. This formal consent is necessary under the Texas Water Code.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• The annexation of land into the District does not increase the total number of residential units permitted by the development agreement.
• Texas Water Code, Section 54.016, as amended, provides that no land within the corporate limits of a city or within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a city shall be included within a municipal utility district unless such city grants its written consent, by resolution or ordinance, to the inclusion of the land within the District.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY: N/A
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
