RECOMMENDATION: Petition for the City’s consent to the addition of two (2) tracts of land totaling 23.3141 acres to Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 366 be approved.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 366 (the “District”) was created through the TCEQ in 1998, and currently consists of 389.290 acres within Harris County. The District is within the corporate limits of the City of Houston (the “City”) and has petitioned the City for consent to add two (2) tracts of vacant land totaling 23.3141 acres, proposed to be developed as industrial property, to the District. The proposed annexation tracts are located in the vicinity of Spindle Drive, North Houston Rosslyn Road, Killough Drive, and Euclaire Drive.
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 tracts will be provided with wastewater treatment by the Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 366 Wastewater Treatment Plant. Potable water is provided by the City of Houston East Water Treatment Water Plant.
The nearest major drainage facility for Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 366 is White Oak Bayou, which flows to Buffalo Bayou, and finally into the Houston Ship Channel. The proposed annexation tracts are 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.
