Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval for Harris County's consent to the City of Friendswood's disannexation of portions of FM 528 and the City of League City to annex the same.
end
Background and Discussion:
The City of Friendswood and the City of League City share a common boundary along the FM 528 corridor in Harris County. A developer has approached both cities, indicating an intent to develop certain properties along the boundary line, portions of which are within the city limits of Friendswood and portions are within the city limits of League City. Given the properties' unique geographical and developable layout, Friendswood has determined that it is not feasible to provide services to the property. The Cities of Friendswood and League City desire to enter into an interlocal boundary agreement, wherein Friendswood will release property from its city limits and League City will thereafter annex the same.
The City of Friendswood submitted sent the attached letter and a map of the property in question and requested that Harris County agree to Friendswood's disannexation of portions of FM 528, since it is not possible for Friendswood to meet the width requirements of the Texas Local Government Code Section 43.054. In order for Friendswood to disannex portions of FM 528 as contemplated in the proposed interlocal boundary agreement, Friendswood is required to obtain Harris County's consent to do so pursuant to Section 43.147 of the Texas Local Government Code as stated below: A municipality disannexing a road or highway shall also disannex a strip of area that is equal in size to the minimum area that the municipality is required to annex in order to comply with the width requirements of Section 43.054 unless such disannexation is undertaken with the mutual agreement of the county government and the municipality.
Expected Impact:
The City of Friendswood's disannexation of portions of FM 528 as shown on the attached map and the City of League City to annex the same.
Alternative Options:
If the portion of FM 528 is not transferred from the City of Friendswood to the City of League City, the subject property may not be developed as requested by the developer.
