Consider and take action on a resolution: 1) receiving the annexation petition from property owner BC-SB Baybrook JV LLC regarding 130.9043 acres of land, 2) scheduling a public hearing on May 13, 2025 to consider the annexation, 3) directing staff to publish notice of the public hearing and provide notice to the school district and other public entities and 4) authorizing a municipal services agreement with property owner BC-SB Baybrook JV, LLC regarding the 130.9043 acres of land (City Attorney)
Background:
Approval of this item will officially begin the annexation process for approximately 130.9043 acres located in League City’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Specifically, this resolution will:
· Formally accept the annexation petition submitted by property owner BC-SB Baybrook JV LLC
· Schedule a public hearing on May 13, 2025, to consider the proposed annexation
· Direct city staff to publish notice of the hearing in the newspaper and send required notifications to the local school district and other public entities
· Authorize a municipal services agreement with the property owners listed above
In Texas, cities can annex land in different ways. One method is through a "consent annexation," which occurs when the property owner in a proposed area request annexation. This process is governed by Subchapter C-3 of the Texas Local Government Code (Sections 43.0671 - 43.0673).
In this case, the sole property owner has formally requested that its land be annexed into the city.
Before a consent annexation can take place, the city must follow certain legal steps, including:
· Publishing notice of the annexation hearing in the local newspaper and the City’s website
· Notifying the local school district and other affected public entities
· Holding a public hearing where residents and stakeholders can express their views on the annexation
