Background: City Council approved a Development Agreement for the subject tract during a 2017 unilateral annexation. The Development Agreement permitted the subject area to retain its extraterritorial status for up to 7 years or until any type of subdivision plat is submitted, development occurs, or when the property loses its agricultural, wildlife management, or timber use exemption. At this time, a portion of the property has been developed. Additionally, a portion has been conveyed to new owners who are ready to begin developing the property along with the abutting 199.44 acres east of the subject tract.
