Background and Discussion:

The Atascocita Complex includes a variety of facilities from multiple county agencies, including the Sheriff’s office, Fire Marshal’s office, Precinct 3, Community Supervision and Corrections Department, etc.  There are several new projects currently under construction with additional projects currently in design or being proposed.  This is impacting the overall complex and causing problems with straining the existing drainage, water, and wastewater infrastructure.

 

Expected Impact:

The Atascocita Complex Masterplan will address the multitude of existing and proposed facilities over the entire property and provide a road map to ensure that all current and future projects have adequately sized supporting infrastructure.  As a comprehensive overview of the complex, it will help guide growth and provide a basis for future budgets and decision-making.

 

Alternative Options:

Lack of a comprehensive infrastructure masterplan could lead to improper or inefficient buildout of the property, as well as insufficient capacities within the supporting infrastructure

 

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.

Economy Initiative (Goal 3): N/A
