Government Code, the City is authorized to enforce all ordinances, regulations and
planning authority of the City that do not interfere with the use of the Property for
agriculture, wildlife management, or timber use. Such ordinances, regulations and
planning authority may be enforced as they now exist or may hereafter be established or
amended; and this Agreement shall not be deemed a permit for the purposes of Chapter
245 of the Texas Local Government Code. In addition, the City specifically reserves its
authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local Goverment Code to exercise
eminent domain over the Property.
3. Use and Development Restrictions.

certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, if any. Furthermore, the
Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that they may have under
Section 43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that

execution by the City Manager.
7. Expiration of Term. In consideration of City's execution of this Agreement, the
Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns agree that upon the

voluntary annexation of the Property to be completed on or after the end of the
Term. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may commence the voluntary
annexation of the Property, to be effective upon the expiration of this Agreement. In
connection with voluntary annexation pursuant to this section, the Owner hereby
waives any vested rights the Owner may have under Section 43.002(a)(2) and
Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction any of the owners may initiate during the time
between the expiration of this Agreement and the institution of annexation
proceedings by the City.
