SUBJECT: Petition for the City’s consent to the addition of 4.8094 acres to Crosby Municipal Utility District.
RECOMMENDATION: Petition for the City’s consent to the addition of 4.8094 acres to Crosby Municipal Utility District be approved.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: Crosby Municipal Utility District (the “District”) was created through the TCEQ in 1965, and currently consists of 1,877.9868 acres within Harris County. The District is within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Houston (the “City”) and has petitioned the City for consent to add 4.8094 acres of partially developed commercial and vacant land, proposed to be developed as commercial property, to the District. The proposed annexation tract is located in the vicinity of U.S Highway 90, FM 2100, Crosby Dayton Road, and Lindstrom 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 Crosby Municipal Utility District Wastewater Treatment Plant. Potable water is provided by the District.
The nearest major drainage facility for Crosby Municipal Utility District is Jackson Bayou, which flows into the San Jacinto River, then 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 prior to their construction.
The Utility District Review Committee recommends that the subject petition be approved.
