SUBJECT:
Title
Public hearing and recommendation to City Council regarding a request for acceptance of 24.12 acres out of ABS 20 A.M. Esnaurizar Survey into the City of New Braunfels’ extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) located on the west side of SH 123 N, north of Harboth Road.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The subject 24.12 acre tract of land was recently released from the City of Seguin’s ETJ. It lies immediately adjacent to property that was included in the “Secondary Release Area” identified in ETJ exchange agreement approved by the cities of New Braunfels and Seguin in the Fall of 2018.
As noted above, Seguin’s City Council released the subject property from their ETJ and the property owner is requesting the subject property be added to the City of New Braunfels’ ETJ. Inclusion of the Secondary Release Area, plus the subject property, within the City of New Braunfels’ ETJ will simplify the development review process for the proposed 324 acre Navarro Master Plan and allow it to be reviewed and approved in its entirety by the City of New Braunfels.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Limited to application of ordinances applicable in the ETJ.
Recommendation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Seguin City Council approved the release from their ETJ on June 19, 2019 with the intent to allow the property owner to request it be in New Braunfels’ ETJ. Staff recommends acceptance to facilitate streamlined development services for the property owner.
