b. Consider an ordinance approving the Declarations of Covenants and Restrictions
for Kilgore Parkway and Highway 146, Chambers County, Texas.
Mrs. Foster presented the agenda item and stated that this item is associated with the previous
agenda item that was considered. She stated that when going through this type of annexation
into the MUD the City has the ability to enter into a strategic partnership agreement, in which the
City currently already has with the Chambers County MUD. She further stated that after the
annexation is done through the MUD side and because there's already a strategic partnership
agreement with Chamber County MUD, the City and the MUD will enter into an amendment to
the existing strategic partnership agreement which will allow the City to annex this area for
limited purpose annexation, in which, under the rules for limited purpose annexation the City's
zoning code does apply. She stated that knowing that this area will be part of the City in the
future staff wanted to be sure that the development standards also be applied just as it does to the
rest of the City so they worked with the developer to prepare some declarations and covenants
covering the development until such time that the area is annexed for limited or full purposes.
Council Member Presley stated that based on the zoning code appliance for limited purpose if
the property would be brought in as open space recreational as usual because in reviewing the
map of the land uses that were applied some were single family and a large portion were multi-
family. Mrs. Foster stated that they would do a zoning change concurrently and apply the land
uses that they feel are appropriate. Council Member Presley further stated that in light of having
the discussion from a previous agenda item and directing administration to do a study regarding
multi - family if Council was prepared to consent to staff's recommendation for a large multi-
family piece of property. In response to Council Member Presley's inquiry of Council being
prepared to consent to staff's recommendation for this item, Mayor DonCarlos stated that he
came to the conclusion that this area is pretty remote from the City and will be for some time
therefore by its time of annexation the City's housing will be better.

Brandon Capetillo approving Ordinance No. 12,906. The vote was as follows:
