as presented (7-0).
BACKGROUND
Applicant: Winkelmann & Associates, Inc.
Dallas, TX
A voluntary annexation proceeding is being considered by the City of Denton for the Robson
Ranch Retail property and associated right-of-way. The ownership of the property is Robson/I-
35W Investors, Inc. The subject property is currently vacant (see Exhibit 1).
The following items summarize the proposed annexation and important actions taken:

In accordance with the City's annexation policy plan, approved in June 1993, the City will

twenty years; and if the annexation is contiguous to existing city limits, city roads and rights-of-
way. The subject site is located in Denton's ETJ Division 1. As such, development is subject to
only the City's subdivision regulations and not zoning regulations. The subject site is un-platted;
any subdivision or reconfiguration of the property will be subject to the City's subdivision
regulations. Incorporation of this site into the City would not require additional properties.
OPTIONS
1. Proceed with the annexation.
2. Amend the land area proposed for annexation.

Additional Comments:
Robson Ranch Rd, in this area, appears to be a county street. If so, coordination with
the County will be required for the connection of any driveway and any improvements
to Robson Ranch Rd. This parcel, as presented, is landlocked and without any public
street access. No public street is scheduled for construction by the City so as to
service this parcel. If the property to the south is of the same ownership, through which
access would be obtained, the amount of frontage along Robson Ranch Rd may not
provide adequate access/service. A comprehensive study of this situation will need to
be detailed in the TIA.

SUBJECT A06-0006 (Marriott Garden Addition, Lot 1)
Consider adoption of an ordinance on first reading to voluntarily annex approximately 18.27
acres into the corporate city limits of the City of Denton, Texas. The property to be annexed is
generally located in the northwestern area of the City of Denton's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction
(ETJ) north of US 380 west of Masch Branch Road and legally described as Lot 1 of the Marriott
Garden Addition. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the annexation proceed as
presented (7-0).
BACKGROUND
Applicant: City of Denton
Denton, TX
A voluntary annexation proceeding is being considered by the City of Denton for Lot 1 of the
Marriott Garden Addition and associated right-of-way. The ownership of Lot 1 is Denton
County. Denton County has agreed to the annexation of Lot 1 that was purchased in 1997. The
subject property is currently used as a maintenance facility for road and bridge construction.
The proposed annexation is being initiated by the City of Denton in completion of the Marriott
Garden Addition annexation to the south. In anticipation of annexing the property south of the
subject site (see Exhibit 1), the City contacted Denton County to determine their interest in
participating with the Marriott Garden Lot 2 annexation. Denton County agreed to the
annexation of the subject site. However, the City received a response from the County past the
time needed to be a part of the Marriott Garden Lot 2 annexation. At this time, Denton County is
requesting the subject site be annexed into the City.
The following items summarize the proposed annexation and important actions taken:
· On January 23, 2007, City Council held the second of two public hearings.
· On January 10,2007, Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing.
· On January 9, 2007, City Council held the first of two public hearings.
· City Council directed staff to pursue voluntary annexation proceedings for the subject
site.
· The entire area proposed for annexation is located within City of Denton's Extra-
territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and is not zoned.
· The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area to be within an Employment Centers and
1 00- Year Floodplain land use designations (located on the northwest portion of the
subject site).
· The annexation is scheduled for completion on April 3, 2007 (see Exhibit 2).
In accordance with the City's annexation policy plan, approved in June 1993, the City will
"assess on a case by case basis the annexations of areas in the ETJ when significant
developments are proposed." Annexation should be considered when a property is located
within the designated urbanizing area; is expected to accommodate urban growth in the next
twenty years; and if the annexation is contiguous to existing city limits, city roads and rights-of-
way. The Lot 1 of the Marriott Garden Addition site is located in Denton's ETJ Division 1. As
such, development is subject to only the City's subdivision regulations and not zoning
regulations. The subject site is platted; however, any subsequent subdivision or reconfiguration
of Lot 1 will be subject to the City's subdivision regulations. Incorporation of this site into the
City would not require additional properties.
OPTIONS
1. Proceed with the annexation.
2. Amend the land area proposed for annexation.
3. Amend the Service Plan.
4. Discontinue annexation.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the annexation proceed as presented.
