This Ordinance corrects a clerical error within the metes and bounds property description of a previously approved Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) release.
Upon request from the City of Sugar Land and with the support of the Houston Parks Board, Houston City Council approved the release of approximately 754.829 acres of parkland known as Cullinan Park from the City of Houston’s ETJ through Ordinance # 2015-452 on May 27, 2015. The City of Houston and the Houston Parks Board are the owners of Cullinan Park and retain ownership of the property.
The released area is located on the west side of Highway 6 between Voss and Highway 90A. The Park is at the edge of the City’s ETJ in Fort Bend County where it abuts the City of Sugar Land. There are no residents in the area.
The City of Houston also entered into an interlocal agreement with the Houston Parks Board, the Cullinan Park Conservancy and the City of Sugar Land to support funding efforts, future improvements and maintenance of the park through Ordinance # 2015-451 on May 27, 2015.
In the ETJ Release Ordinance (2015-452), Exhibit A: The Metes and Bounds Description only included a 177.000 Acre tract, representing a portion of the total 754.829 Acre area of the park that was proposed for release. This Ordinance corrects that clerical error.
The Planning and Development Department recommends approval of an amendment to correct the Exhibit in the original ETJ release Ordinance.
