Exhibit "B" City of Baytown Municipal Annexation BMTOWN Staff Report r Applicant: .................................................. LA Liquidation, Inc. Requested Action; ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Expand the municipal boundaries via voluntary annexation of approximately 23.5 acres Subiect area: ............................................................. Generally located north of the I-10 frontage road at its intersection with Thompson Road; including the Thompson Road Right - of -Way for a distance of 1,890E $. and a parcel of with frontage on the east side of Thompson Road and on the north side of Ellis School Road. Date: .........................................................................December 14, 2017 Purpose of the Annexation: The applicant is requesting to be annexed into the City of Baytown jurisdiction to obtain city services for the future development of a commercial retail use. Annexation of the subject area will grant L.A. Liquidations Inc. access to city water and sewer, which are important to how the subject property develops. Existine Conditions: The subject parcel consists of 20.8± acres. The surrounding area is dominated by a large scale commercial uses associate with I-10 and Thompson Road, which accommodates freight trucks. It is adjacent to the General Commercial (GC) zoning district to the east and south. Two truck stops, a motel, and the Baytown Area Water Authority (BAWA) water quality plant are located in the immediate area. The subject parcel is vacant, and the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) designates 18± acres for agricultural uses. It is also flanked by two Municipal Utility Districts — Harris County Fresh Water Supply District IA and 113. Thompson Road within the subject area contains four (4) lanes of travel from its southern extent to its intersection with Ellis School Road. North of this point, the roadway reverts to two (2) lanes of travel. Annexation of this right-of-way (ROW) allows the required adjacency of the existing city limits. Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation The City of Baytown Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) designates the subject area to be Commercial Corridor and High Density Residential. Commercial Corridors • May accommodate all types of commercial activity, including 'big box', medical services, restaurants, entertainment, oiiices, and large m aki-family development. • Corridors of commercial activities with variable depths along or near major arterials and freeways. • Improved traflic mobility by discouraging continuous commercial strips with numerous driveways along major streets. High Density Residential • Provides for detached and attached residential development including patio homes, duplexes, town homes, apartments and condominiums. • Neighborhood and community commercial within a convenient walking distance of residences. • Optional first -floor retail, offices, and services integrated horizontally or vertically as accessory uses within multi -family buildings and developments. Maior ThoroughiarePlan Proposals The City of Baytown Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTFP) addresses the linkage between land use and transportation by providing a long-term vision for transit enhancements and improved facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists. In the long term, the annexation area is expected to be impacted by the extension of roadways and the facilities associated with them. Proposals within the subject area are as follows: ➢ Thompson Road • Is an existing minor arterial road that provides the road frontage to the subject parcel • It channels north and south bound vehicular traffic between I-10 and Wallisville Road • In some areas, it exist with less than 60 ft. of right-of-way (ROW) • Roads of this designation should have between 80 ft. and 100 ft. of ROW Voluntary Annexation Considerations 1. Is the subject property included in an annexation study area or annexation plan? No. The subject area is on the outer fringes of the existing city limits. The 2017-2018 annexation strategy prioritized areas that were a part of existing unincorporated islands or areas that fronted on the I-10 corridor. The subject area does not meet any of those criteria. 2. Will the annexation of the subject area protect the best interest, health, safety and welfare of the public in general? If City Council decides to annex the subject area, it will not have an adverse impact on the general welfare of the public or the service delivery to the area. Additionally, the subject parcel is in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), but it is flanked by Fresh Water Supply Districts to the north and east, as well as, City of Baytown jurisdiction to the south and west. Annexation of this subject area will allow the City of Baytown to manage land use and development standards, and provide other City of Baytown services to an area near the I-10 corridor. 3. What is the relation of the proposed change to the city's Comprehensive Plan? The applicant's purpose of for annexation is to construct a commercial retail business on a tract of land that has two FLUP designations — Commercial Corridor and High Density Residential. The annexation and development proposal does not require change to the city's Comprehensive Plan. 4. What effect will the annexation have upon the natural environment, social and economic conditions, and property values in the vicinity and in the City as a whole? The proposed annexation would expand the city's jurisdictional boundary and assure that any new development is consistent with other development in the city. Additionally, the development of the tract will require connection to city utilities. A City waterline appears to be available along Ellis School Road, while city sewer will need to be extended by the developer to service the subject parcel. Service Plan Summary: Fire Department: The subject properties of the proposed annexation will be assigned to District Five (5). The proposed annexation is located in the Emergency Service District (ESD) and already receives response and services from the Baytown Fire Department. Upon annexation, the area will continue to receive comparable levels of service as any area within the Baytown. Therefore, the annexation will not affect existing response times. Police Department: The proposed annexation will slightly add to the response times. The subject area will be assigned to Police District 10. Health Department: The annexation of undeveloped property has little effect on operational activities; however, once the development begins the demand for services is immediate. This proposed area will require immediate attention by Environmental Health, Neighborhood Protection, and Animal Services personnel. Parks and Recreation Department: The proposed annexation will have no impact on the service delivery from this department. Building Division: The proposed annexation will have no immediate impact. Inspection times will be dependent upon the volume and the types of development in the future. Public Works Department: The individual proposed annexation will not negatively affect response times. Engineering Department: The subject area will be assigned to the West District Waste Water Treatment Plant. The proposed facility needs a lift station to be placed onsite. Because this is a voluntary annexation, the developer will be required to install the lift station and direct flows to the nearest gravity main at the I-10 frontage road Utility Billing Department: The subject properties of the proposed annexation will be assigned to Route 390. There are no existing service accounts in the proposed annexation area. The proposed annexation will not affect existing service delivery. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation.
