SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District No. 2 has petitioned the City of Houston for consent to add 7.493 acres, located in the corporate limits of the City, to the district.
This tract of land is part of a 129.368 acre proposed industrial business park (121.875 acres located in the City of Missouri City) to be known as Park 8Ninety. Houston City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement, Ordinance 2015-755 passed and adopted August 5, 2015, with Missouri City authorizing Missouri City to serve as the permitting authority and to provide services.
The district is located in the vicinity of Buffalo Run, South Cravens Road, US Highway 90A, and Beltway 8. The district desires to add 7.493 acres, thus yielding a total of 7,228.293 acres. The district is served by a district plant, the Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District No. 2 Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 1. The nearest major drainage facility for Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District No. 2 is Oyster Creek, which flows into Flat Bank Creek, then into the Brazos River, and finally into the Gulf of Mexico.
Potable water is provided by the district. By executing the Petition for Consent, the district has acknowledged that in the event the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Houston, Texas and the City of Missouri City, Texas is terminated, all plans for the construction of water conveyance, wastewater collection, and storm water collection systems initiated after the date of such termination within the district must be approved by the City of Houston prior to their construction.
The Utility District Review Committee recommends that the subject petition be approved.
