SUBJECT:
Title
Public hearing and adoption of a resolution accepting 24.12 acres out of ABS 20 A.M. Esnaurizar Survey into the City of New Braunfels’ extraterritorial jurisdiction 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 extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). It lies immediately adjacent to property that was included in the “Secondary Release Area” identified in the 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 rather than the City of Seguin.
