Additional Backup Information:
In March 2012, the City Council approved an ordinance consenting to the creation of the Pilot Knob Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs). These MUDs include approximately 2,214 acres located in southeastern Travis County at a designated center and transportation corridor as indicated in the draft Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map within the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. As part of the agreement consenting to the creation of the MUDs, the City would defer full purpose annexation of the MUDs for approximately 25 years or longer, but would annex the MUDs for limited purposes shortly after giving consent to MUD creation.
In May 2012, the City and the MUDs entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) and the City annexed the area for limited purposes. At that time, several out-parcels within the larger project area had not yet been acquired by the developer. If the developer acquires fee simple title to those tracts of land, the agreements between the City and the MUD provide a process for annexing future tracts to the MUD and to the City’s limited purpose jurisdiction.
The proposed action is to approve an ordinance to annex recently acquired outparcels, Tracts B-H, for limited purposes in accordance with the terms of the agreements between the City and the MUD. Limited purpose annexation will facilitate zoning and development of this area. There is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment zoning case, specific to Tracts B-H, being submitted that will be before City Council for approval in the near future.
