Background and Discussion:

This cul-de-sac ROW was conveyed to Harris County via plat in 2019 to serve as the southern terminus of Golden Drive, Baytown, TX. Current development plans for the overall site render the Golden Drive cul-de-sac unnecessary in its current location.

 

Expected Impact:

The abandonment will clear title to the underlying fee owner of this property to accommodate future development plans.

 

 

 

 

 

Alternative Options:

Harris County would retain a ROW for a roadway deemed unnecessary as currently constituted and which would additionally prevent optimum development of the overall site as is being sought by the underlying fee owner.

 

County Strategic Plan Goal:  2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.

County Strategic Plan Objective: H: Improve the condition and resilience of County transportation, flood control, and other infrastructure.
