SUBJECT: Petition for the City’s consent to the addition of 16.962 acres to Cy-Champ Public Utility District (Key Map No. 370K & L).
RECOMMENDATION: Petition for the City’s consent to the addition of 16.962 acres to Cy-Champ Public Utility District be approved.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: Cy-Champ Public Utility District was created through an act of the Texas Legislature in 1971, and currently consists of 689.350 acres within Harris County. The district is within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City and has petitioned the City for consent to add 16.962 acres of developed industrial property to the district. The proposed annexation tract is located in the vicinity of N. Sam Houston Parkway, Tomball Parkway (State Hwy. 249), F.M. 1960, and Hollister Road. The addition of land to the district does not release it from the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The Utility District Review Committee has evaluated the application with respect to wastewater collection and treatment, potable water distribution, storm water conveyance, and other public services.
The District has a wastewater collection system and treatment facility. The annexation tract will be provided with wastewater treatment by the City of Houston’s Willowbrook Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Potable water is provided by the district.
The nearest major drainage facility for Cy-Champ Public Utility District is Greens Bayou, which flows into the Houston Ship Channel. The proposed annexation tract is not within the 100 or 500 year floodplain.
By executing the Petition for Consent, the district has acknowledged that all plans for the construction of water conveyance, wastewater collection, and storm water collection systems 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.
