ISSUE:
The subject property is located just outside the current City of New Braunfels ETJ boundary. In 2018, the cities of New Braunfels and Seguin executed an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement identifying areas of land that would pass from Seguin’s ETJ to that of New Braunfels upon a request from the property owner.
Mr. Wilkerson’s 105 acres are located within this “secondary acceptance” area and he is hereby requesting the entire property be added to the City of New Braunfels ETJ. This will allow his proposed residential subdivision to be reviewed by the City of New Braunfels along with the adjacent Jaroszewski property, simplifying the development review process (so they don’t have to be reviewed by two different jurisdictions).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Cost of staff time to review subdivision plats and infrastructure construction documents is recovered through development application fees.
Recommendation
RECOMMENDATION:
Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 4, 2021 and recommended acceptance of the property (8-0-0 with Commissioner Gibson absent).
Staff Recommendation:
Acceptance of the property to facilitate streamlined development services for the property owners.
