The City has received a petition from ASK Platinum, LLC requesting that the city annex for general purposes property that is located to the northeast of the intersection of North Houston Rosslyn Road and Chippewa Boulevard. The area to be annexed consists of approximately 0.9 acre of land owned entirely by the petitioners.
The area being considered for annexation will include one lot that has been developed into a gas station, a convenience store, a taqueria and a tire shop. The taxable value of the property to be annexed is approximately $597,261. There are no residents in the area to be annexed.
This matter was heard by the Economic Development Committee on July 14, 2016 with no objections from that Committee.
City Council held two public hearings on the matter: the first on August 24, 2016 and the second on August 31, 2016. There was no public opposition to the annexation at those hearings. A service plan has been developed that defines not only the services to be provided by the City of Houston, but also the duties and obligations of ASK Platinum LLC.
The Planning and Development Department recommends that City Council approve the annexation ordinance on September 21, 2016 and adopt a service plan for the annexed area.
