Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval to allow the process for the revision of the subdivision plat entitled WILDRYE SEC 1 to proceed and that Commissioners Court confirm the determination that the replat does not affect public interest and establish May 22, 2025 as a public hearing for discussion of the proposed plat under Local Government Code 232.009(c-1), Precinct 3.
end
Background and Discussion:
The County Engineer has received an application from an owner of a tract who wishes to subdivide an existing residential lot in the plat of “Harris County School Land Four Leagues” as recorded in Volume 17 Page 222 of the Deed Records of Harris County, Texas. The plat is located within Harris County, but outside of municipalities and outside of the extraterritorial jurisdiction of municipalities with a population of 1.5 million or greater, and therefore additional requirements have been set for the review and approval based on Local Government Code 232.009.
The County Engineer recommends that Commissioners Court confirm the determination that said replat does not affect a public interest or public property of any type, including but not limited to, a park, school or road. The determination will provide the necessary guidance to the County Engineer to provide public notice in accordance with Local Government Code 232.009(c-1), including establishment of the May 22nd, 2025, Commissioners Court meeting as the necessary public meeting for discussion of the proposed replat.
Harris County Commissioners Court will be provided with two additional opportunities to evaluate the proposed replat prior to its approval and recordation.
This court letter and associated procedure has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney’s Office as necessary and appropriate.
Expected Impact:
This approval will ensure that development in unincorporated areas will not pose a threat to the safety and welfare of the public as prescribed by Commissioners Court
Alternative Options:
Should Commissioners’ Court elect not approve this plat, a written statement detailing the reasons for disapproval per TX Local Government Code 232.0028 will be required. This statement must include a citation to the law, including statute or order that is the basis of the disapproval; and may not be arbitrary.
