Last land parcels at 2,200-acre, mixed-use site are expected to be sold in 2018Craig Ranch development approaches build-out

BY CASSIDY RITTER

Growth along McKinney’s SH 121 corridor has continued steadily throughout the years, and a large part of that growth began in 2000 when more than 1,000 acres of land were acquired to begin construction on Craig Ranch.

Now a 2,200-acre, mixed-use development spanning from Custer Road to Stacy Road and north to Sil-verado Trail, Craig Ranch is getting close to build-out.

David Craig, the master developer of Craig Ranch, said the development is expected to sell its last parcels of land in 2018.

“My guesstimation would be it’s possible that there could be sev-eral sites that aren’t built on in five years,” he said. “But I’d say for the most part [Craig Ranch] is developed out within five years. And that means built on and occupied.”

The development currently has approximately 1,287 acres of

residential space, 6 acres of medical space, 42 acres of office space and 49 acres of retail space. Upon com-pletion Craig Ranch expects to have 1,363 acres of residential space, 38 acres of medical space, 181 acres of office space and 141 acres of retail space, according to Craig.

As of late September, Craig Ranch had 14 parcels of land available for purchase, Chief Operating Officer for Craig Ranch Miles Prestemon said.

Mayor: New law ‘will stop most growth’ into city’s outskirtsBY CASSIDY RITTER

If the city of McKinney were to annex the approximately 116 square miles within the city’s extraterritorial jurisdic-tion, or ETJ, which would take years to do as the city can-not annex more than 10 percent of its incorporated area in a calendar year, the city would nearly double in size from its current estimated size of 68 square miles.

The possibility of McKinney annexing all of its ETJ—or land outside the city limits it is legally allowed to incorporate—is becoming less of a reality because of a new law that passed in the Texas Legislature’s special CONTINUED ON 22

In the first draft of this month’s paper, the word “growth” appeared in both headlines on the cover. A quick scan of recent issues led me to realize even when not in the headlines, the word appears on almost every cover of the McKinney edi-tion, evidence that growth brings excite-ment, challenges and news to the city.

One of this month’s front-page stories looks at the growth potential left at Craig Ranch before all remaining land parcels are sold. I was recently at a meeting at the TPC Craig Ranch clubhouse and had to pause to take a look around at all the changes. I’m sure many who are reading this remember a time when

those 2,200 acres of land looked nothing like they do today.

Our team became curious about how close the final vision for Craig Ranch is to completion and what some of the next big “coming soon” items will be. I hope you’ll enjoy the detailed map outlining that (see Page 20).

The second front-page story this month also centered around growth as the city and residents in the outlying areas analyze the effects of a new law recently passed by the Texas Legislature.

We always love to hear from you and the community issues you’re curious about. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Mayor George Fuller announced Sept. 8 that McKin-ney will “proactively pursue a deal with Amazon.”

The online retailer announced Sept. 7 that it had opened a search for a second headquarters to operate alongside its Seattle facilities.

In order to submit pitches to Amazon, developers must meet with city staff to develop a pitch. City staff will then send the pitch to the Dallas Regional Cham-ber, which will compile the pitches and send a collec-tive submission to Amazon.

The city is putting together a presentation highlight-ing the city’s quality of life and McKinney National Airport, Fuller said. He said he has also reached out to business leaders, including Encore Wire Corp. and Inde-pendent Bank, to provide testimonials.

With a $5 billion investment in the construction of Amazon’s second headquarters, the company would bring an estimated 50,000 jobs to the community selected, according to Amazon.

How is the city pursuing Amazon?

Paradise city: McKinney aims to be most ideal spot for sought-after Amazon HQBY CASSIDY RITTER

In light of Amazon.com Inc.’s search for its second North Ameri-can headquarters, McKinney Mayor George Fuller said he and city staff are taking steps to draw the tech com-pany to the city.

The process for submitting proposals opened Sept. 7 and will close Oct. 19.

Below is an official list released by Amazon of ideal characteristics for a host city and a look at how McKinney stacks up to each characteristic.

1. METROPOLITAN AREA WITH MORE

THAN 1 MILLION PEOPLE

Amazon wants a location in an area within at least 30 miles of a popula-tion center. The Dallas-Fort Worth-Ar-lington metropolitan area’s popula-tion was measured at more than 6.4 million people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2010 estimates. The city of McKinney’s population was estimated at 168,358, according to city estimates as of Jan. 1.

2. WITHIN 45 MINUTES OF AN

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The Dallas/Fort Worth Interna-tional Airport is approximately 32-50 minutes from McKinney, depending on traffic.

Should Amazon select McKinney, the company would also have access to the McKinney National Airport.

3. LOCATED 1 TO 2 MILES AWAY FROM

MAJOR ROADWAYS

Three major roadways run through McKinney’s city limits—SH 121, US 75 and US 380.

4. ACCESS TO MASS TRANSIT

Collin County Transit provides a subsidized taxi program for residents in McKinney and nearby cities. This service is available for residents who are age 65 and older or are disabled.

City Council also approved a res-olution proposing the development of a comprehensive public transpor-tation plan for the county during the Sept. 19 City Council meeting.

5. ESTIMATED CAMPUS SIZE IS

8 MILLION SQUARE FEET

The city of McKinney has approx-imately 22 square miles of unde-veloped land within city limits and approximately 40 square miles of undeveloped land in the city’s extra-territorial jurisdiction, which is land the city has the authority to annex in the future. Given the amount of land left to develop, Amazon could find a place to settle in McKinney.

6. ECONOMIC INCENTIVES

The McKinney Economic Develop-ment Corp. updated its strategic plan in May and has since made strides in its increased efforts to attract busi-nesses. The city can offer tax rebates, land and infrastructure needs, among other incentives.

7. STRONG LABOR FORCE AND

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

Between July 2015 and July 2016, the city of McKinney was ranked the third fastest-growing city of its size in the country, according to new data released May 25 by the U.S. Census Bureau. McKinney has ranked on the bureau’s fastest-growing cities list since at least 2012.

Amazon said a strong local univer-sity system is preferred. The city of McKinney is home to Collin College,

which has nearly 5,000 students at the Central Park Campus, located at 2200 W. University Drive, McKinney.

8. QUICK TIMETABLE FOR

CONSTRUCTION COMMENCEMENT

This characteristic means an easy and streamlined permitting process. The city is working to streamline the development process and convey the message that McKinney is open for business, Michael Quint, executive director of development services for the city, said in a previous interview. The city also updated its permitting requirements in the ETJ.

The MEDC has also selected Hunt Southwest to develop a speculative light industrial development proj-ect in the city in hopes of attracting more businesses.

9. CULTURAL COMMUNITY AND

QUALITY OF LIFE

Priding itself on its “unique by nature” culture, McKinney was ranked as the No. 1 best place to live in America by Money Magazine in 2014. In 2017, Wallet Hub rated McKinney the second-best real estate market in the country and the best U.S. city for first-time buyers. Smart Asset also ranked McKinney the fourth-best place to raise a family in Texas in 2017.

COURTESY AMAZON.COM INC.

Amazon.com Inc. announced Sept. 7 that it plans to open a second North American headquarters.BUSINESS

DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS New construction and redevelopment projects in McKinney COMPILED BY CASSIDY RITTER

1 Brookhaven ChurchThis approximately 30,000-square-foot church, located at 6101 Stacy Road, McK-inney, is expected to be complete in June. The church will have a 16,800-square-foot day care center with a playground, outdoor sports court and splash pad. The sanctu-ary will have 360 seats in the first phase of construction with an additional 120 seats planned. Other features include a cafe, baptistery, welcome center and dual check-in stations for day care and the children’s ministry.

2 Southgate McKinneyFormerly known as the Gateway develop-ment, this 52-acre, mixed-use develop-ment is located at the SH 121 and US 75 interchange in McKinney. The development includes office space; boutique office space atop retail space; multifamily residential; and outdoor space, including a stage area, according to McKinney officials. Developer KDC is marketing the site for build-to-suit office users. The groundbreaking for this

tenants include Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, Gideon Learning Center, E.J. Wills and McKinney Coffee Co. Construction on two of the retail buildings is complete, and the third retail building is expected to be complete in April-June. Construction on the medical and office buildings expect to begin in early 2018.

5 380 Commons at Headington HeightsThis development at the northeast corner of Hardin Boulevard and US 380 will be home to Costco, Petco, Hobby Lobby and T.J. Maxx, among other big-box retailers. The Costco building will be 150,000 square feet with more than 700 parking spaces and a members-only fuel station. A timeline for the Costco project has not been re-

development is dependent on finding a corporation to custom-develop at South-gate McKinney. After office construction begins, the developer will begin to add retail and residential components.

3 Playful Corp.Independent game studio Playful Corp. broke ground on its 9-acre development Aug. 28 at the southeast corner of Davis Street and Tennessee Street. Playful will lease a minimum of 45,000 square feet in a 9-acre development and move its employ-ees to McKinney over the next five years. The parking lot associated with the building will also be used as additional downtown parking during non-working hours. This development is expected to be complete by summer.

4 Victory at StonebridgeThis 12-acre, multiuse development at the southeast corner of US 380 and Stone-bridge Drive includes three retail buildings, one medical building, one two-story office building and a Valero fuel station. Retail

leased, but it takes about 100 days to open a store once it begins construction, said Wanda Jorgenson, administrative assistant in Costco’s real estate department.

6 Honeycreek The 2,500-acre, mixed-use development is located in the northeast sector of McKinney spanning from Lake Forest Drive to US 75 near the future intersection of Laud Howell Parkway and Hardin Boulevard. Honey-creek will be built in phases and include single-family residential units, and com-mercial and retail developments. The first phase built will include 1,500 single-family homes, multiple parks and 500 square feet of retail and commercial units. This phase is expected to be complete in 2019.

CITY & COUNTY News from McKinney and Collin County COMPILED BY CASSIDY RITTER

City proposes public transportation plan across Collin CountyMCKINNEY City Council approved

a resolution proposing the devel-opment of a comprehensive public transportation plan for Collin County at the Sept. 19 City Council meeting.

The city will seek funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Organization, the Texas Depart-ment of Transportation, the Federal Transit Administration and private companies to pay for the devel-opment of the plan, according to city documents.

The plan must include trans-portation within cities, across city limit lines and local transit agency boundaries, according to the resolution.

The cities of Allen, Frisco and Plano have either adopted a similar resolution or will soon adopt one, City Manager Paul Grimes said at the meeting.

Collin County, McKinney OK fiscal year 2017-18 budgets and property tax ratesMCKINNEY In mid-September, Collin

County Commissioners Court and McKinney City Council approved their fiscal year 2017-18 budgets and property tax rates.

Court meeting Sept. 18.The approved budget includes a

one-time expenditure totaling $40.5 million, of which $38 million will be used for transportation in the county.

Commissioners also approved a $0.192246 property tax rate per $100

valuation. This is a 1.6 cent decrease from the FY 2016-17 tax rate of $0.208395 per $100 valuation.

COMPILED BY ZAC EZZONE

Texas voters can vote for or against seven amendments to the state’s constitution Nov. 7.

SOURCES: TEXAS SECRETARY OF STATE OFFICE’S WEBSITE, HOUSE RESEARCH ORGANIZATION / COMMUNITY IMPACT NEWSPAPER

PROPOSITION 1 House Joint Resolution 21

The ballot reads: “The constitutional amendment authorizing the Legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of part of the market value of the residence homestead of a partially disabled veteran or the surviving spouse of a partially disabled veteran if the residence homestead was donated to the disabled veteran by a charitable organization for less than the market value of the residence homestead and harmonizing certain related provisions of the Texas Constitution.”

What it means: This amendment would provide property tax exemptions on homes that were donated to partially disabled veterans—or their surviving spouses—for less than their market values. Currently the Texas Constitution already authorizes property tax exemptions for homes that were donated to partially disabled veterans at no cost to the recipients.

PROPOSITION 2 Senate Joint Resolution 60

The ballot reads: “The constitutional amendment to establish a lower amount for expenses that can be charged to a borrower and removing certain financing expense limitations for a home equity loan, establishing certain authorized lenders to make a home equity loan, changing

certain options for the refinancing of home equity loans, changing the threshold for an advance of a home equity line of credit, and allowing home equity loans on agricultural homesteads.”

What it means: This amendment would lower the cap on fees charged to borrowers when establishing a home equity loan from 3 percent to 2 percent of the principal of the loan. It would also allow home equity loans to be refinanced as non-home equity loans and would expand the list of entities that may administer home equity loans to include savings banks, credit unions, subsidiaries of banks, and savings and loan associations.

PROPOSITION 3 SJR 34

The ballot reads: “The constitutional amendment limiting the service of certain officeholders appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate after the expiration of the person's term of office.”

What it means: Currently, according to the Texas Constitution, unsalaried officials on state boards and commissions must continue to perform their offices’ duties after their terms have expired until successors are ready. This amendment would relieve officials of their positions at the end of the next regular legislative session if a replacement is not prepared beforehand.

PROPOSITION 4SJR 6

The ballot reads: “The constitutional amendment authorizing the Legislature to require a court to provide notice to the attorney general of a challenge to the constitutionality of a state statute and authorizing the Legislature to prescribe a waiting period before the court may enter a judgment holding the statute unconstitutional.”

What it means: This amendment would require courts to notify the attorney general of any constitutional challenges to state laws. It also establishes a 45-day period after notifying the attorney general, during which the court cannot judge the contested statute as unconstitutional.

PROPOSITION 5 HJR 100

The ballot reads: “The constitutional amendment on professional sports team charitable foundations conducting charitable raffles.”

What it means: This amendment would expand the number of professional sports team-based foundations able to hold charitable raffles. The list of eligible foundations would now include teams from the Women’s National Basketball Association, Minor League Baseball and United Soccer League.

PROPOSITION 6 SJR 1

The ballot reads: “The constitutional amendment authorizing the Legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of all or part of the market value of the residence homestead of the surviving spouse of a first responder who is killed or fatally injured in the line of duty.”

What it means: This amendment would give partial or total property tax exemptions to the surviving spouse of a first responder who was killed in the line of duty. Currently the Texas Constitution provides a property tax exemption for the surviving spouse of a member of the U.S. armed forces who was killed in action but not for law-enforcement officials, firefighters, emergency services personnel or other first responders.

PROPOSITION 7HJR 37

The ballot reads: “The constitutional amendment relating to legislative authority to permit credit unions and other financial institutions to award prizes by lot to promote savings.”

What it means: This amendment would allow credit unions, banks and other financial institutions to conduct promotional activities—such as raffles—to encourage savings.

F or pet owners wary of leaving their dog at a day care or

boarding facility, the owner of 2nd Family Dogs understands. That is why staffers are certified in animal CPR, and the facility is outfitted with 12 surveillance cameras and a 24-hour security guard.

“Our slogan is, ‘Let us adopt your dog for a while. We’ll treat them like family,’ and that’s how we feel about it and that’s how our customers feel about us,” said owner Carol Barnett, who has two border terriers.

Barnett’s affection for dogs goes beyond her business, said Lindsey Glover, the executive director of 2nd Family Dogs. At Barnett’s previous business, a high-tech company she owned for 12 years prior to opening 2nd Family Dogs, she would bring her two dogs to the office, Glover said.

It was her work at the high-tech company and her years in various management positions for the likes of Perot Systems and Nortel that Barnett

felt equipped to start her own venture tied to her love for dogs.

“I thought it would be nice to start a ‘low-tech business,’” Barnett said. “You can’t ship [the business] to China—it’s recession-proof … and it would be a legacy business that my son could inherit and run.”

Prior to starting 2nd Family Dogs, Barnett remembers leaving her own dogs at various boarding facilities that she felt did not provide the services she expected. Barnett said some of them lacked proper shade and cooling equipment for the dogs during the hot Texas summer months as well as inadequate staffing and cramped boarding crates.

“That just infuriated me,” she said.Barnett’s desire to supply the best

services for dogs and their own-ers does not stop with providing a premium facility. 2nd Family Dogs provides free kennels to rescue orga-nizations that take in dogs that are set to be euthanized.

Brett Bourgeois has owned Delaney’s Irish Pub & Scratch Kitchen since 2015.

Delaney’s Irish Pub & Scratch Kitchen Reserve police officer, bar owner offers variety of meals and drinks

B rett Bourgeois works full-time as the owner of Delaney’s Irish

Pub & Scratch Kitchen and as a reserve police officer for the Double Oak Police Department in Denton County—two professions he said he is passionate about.

Bourgeois had worked in the sports bar industry for 12 years, but he was passionate about law enforcement and decided to make a career change. In 2010 he became a police officer for the Frisco Police Department. In 2015 an opportunity arose for Bourgeois to purchase Delaney’s, which was first established in McKinney in 2008.

Bourgeois said he wanted to get back into the service industry but did not want to leave law enforcement altogether, so he decided to continue as a reserve officer with the DOPD.

“Since I was a little kid, I always loved being a part of my community

the bar,” he said.The menu at Delaney’s consists of

Irish dishes, such as shepherd’s pie and corned beef and cabbage, along with a variety of other dishes, includ-ing chicken carbonara and coun-try fried steak.

“We’re not your traditional Irish pub,” Bourgeois said. “We don’t want to single anybody out, so we created a diverse menu that’s not just all Irish flair. We open our menu to fit the entire family.”

Bourgeois said listening to the McK-inney community is what has contrib-uted to the restaurant’s success.

“What makes Delaney’s successful is the residents of McKinney,” he said. “[By] lending that ear out and listen-ing to what they want, we made the place they want to come to with their friends and family.”

and helping people,” he said. “And I get to do that as a business owner and as a police officer.”

When Bourgeois became the owner of Delaney’s, he asked the regular cli-entele what they wanted to see in their local pub, and he adapted the menu and bar accordingly.

Bourgeois said he decided to incor-porate a sports bar feel to Delaney’s, something it did not have before. There are 28 flat-screen TVs, three large projectors and two fully stocked bars with 52 beers on tap. There is also a game room with pool tables and arcade games.

Bourgeois said sales for the pub are split down the middle between the bar and restaurant.

“We’re not one or the other, which is great because it has a great diversity for our clientele who are looking for a scratch-made meal or something from

is expected to increase to a minimum of 20,000 employees upon comple-tion, Craig said.

Craig Ranch recently announced Methodist McKinney Hospital’s plans to open the new Methodist Craig Ranch Surgery Center in November and Inde-pendent Bank’s plans to build a new headquarters. Craig said he expects

more corporations to follow.“If you look at, say an area with

potential—Craig Ranch—there’s more and more going on there from a corporate standpoint,” said Cindy Schneible, president of the McKinney Community Development Corp., in a previous interview with Community Impact Newspaper.

Road. The first phase of Hub 121, which is expected to break ground by the end of January, will have 60,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, Hub 121 developer Shane Jordan said.

In addition to retail and restau-rants, Hub 121 will have urban hous-ing, offices, a hospitality component, a pavilion area, and a performance stage for live music and family movie nights, Jordan said.

“A corporate center, for it to be suc-cessful, it needs some walkable enter-tainment to the employee base, and so actually we think we’re going to help [the corporate center at Craig Ranch] develop,” he said.

Craig Ranch also attracted a 285-room hotel and 33,000-square-foot conference center. Craig Ranch Resort & Conference Center will be located on an 8-acre site at the corner of Collin McKinney Parkway and Weiskopf Ave-nue and is expected to open in March 2020, Prestemon said.

“We desperately need hospitality near the McKinney Corporate Center,” Craig said during an April 2016 McK-inney City Council meeting when the hotel’s plan was presented to council. “This is an opportunity to bring one of the essential developments and attrac-tors to the corporate center in the form

of a hotel that brings many of the ame-nities required by corporate America: meeting space, dining and overnight stays on campus.”

In the first year of operation the hotel is estimated to generate over $350,000 in tax revenue for the city. Upon expira-tion of the tax incentives approved by City Council, the city expects to collect more than $2 million annually through sales, property and hotel occupancy taxes collected from the hotel, accord-ing to a city presentation at the May 2 City Council meeting.

WHAT’S NEXT?

The growth at Craig Ranch is not expected to stop anytime soon. The development is expected to bring addi-tional corporate centers, retail and restaurant spaces, residential lots and apartments. Some of these spaces are either under development or in the early stages of development, Craig said.

Artistry at Craig Ranch, a 163-unit apartment complex for seniors age 62

and older, is one of many developments adding additional growth to Craig Ranch. The Artistry expects to open in mid-October at 6370 Piper Glen Road.

Craig said he will also continue pursuing corporate companies and is looking to redevelop portions of Craig Ranch, including two of the four baseball fields.

The Dr Pepper StarCenter, located at 6993 Stars Ave., will expand south onto two of the baseball fields at Craig Ranch. It will also add approxi-mately 46,000 square feet to its facility, including an ice rink with 1,800 seats, more parking and locker rooms.

“I think [Craig Ranch brings] resort-style living, which is a lifestyle commu-nity and a destination location … that’s self-sustainable with a true mix of uses not vertically but horizontally, [and we have created] a tremendous tax base and a quality of life.” Craig said.

Independent Bank announced in July it will build a new $52 million corporate headquarters at the McKin-ney Corporate Center at Craig Ranch. Construction on the minimum six-story building is expected to begin before May 1, and it is anticipated to open in 2019.

Independent Bank plans to bring up to 400 new jobs to the city during the next five years, Independent Bank Marketing Director Peggy Smolen said.

“We knew that one of the last things that would come would be corporate relocations,” Craig said. “[The] mar-ket really drives the uses. You can’t force the market to come to a location because you want them to come to the location. There has to be a demand.”

When development at Craig Ranch began, the key amenities were the golf course, Craig Ranch Fitness and Spa, the Michael Johnson Performance Training Center, baseball fields and the McKinney Premier soccer fields, Craig said. In today’s market, the human resources department for the compa-nies looking to relocate expect more amenities, including nearby retail and restaurants.

Hub 121, a mix of office, restaurant and retail space, will develop at the northwest corner of SH 121 and Alma

“MY GUESSTIMATION WOULD BE IT’S POSSIBLE THAT THERE COULD BE SEVERAL SITES THAT AREN’T BUILT ON IN FIVE YEARS. BUT I’D SAY FOR THE MOST PART [CRAIG RANCH] IS DEVELOPED OUT WITHIN FIVE YEARS. AND THAT MEANS BUILT ON AND OCCUPIED.”

— DAVID CRAIG, MASTER DEVELOPER OF CRAIG RANCH

session in July. Senate Bill 6, which goes into effect

Dec. 1, will allow residents living in areas up for possible annexation to decide to be annexed by petition or hold a referendum.

“For all intents and purposes, [this bill] will stop most growth in the city of McKinney outside where we’re already incorporated, so our growth will happen [within current city limits] and where we’ve already annexed,” McKinney Mayor George Fuller said. “But beyond that it’s going to be very difficult.”

For a Tier 2 Municipality such as McKinney, under SB 6, registered vot-ers in an area proposed for annexation that has more than 200 people would need to consent through an election. If the area has less than 200 people, con-sent would need to be gained through a petition signed by more than 50 per-cent of the registered voters in the area. If at least 50 percent of the landown-ers are not registered voters, a petition must be signed by more than 50 per-cent of the landowners in the area.

Fuller said the likelihood of res-idents approving annexation is “extremely unlikely.”

Prior to Dec. 1, the city is proposing to annex several properties totaling approximately 5.9 square miles of land in the northwest sector of the city. The proposed pieces would help “square off” McKinney city limits, City Attor-ney Mark Houser said.

However, critics of the pro-posed annexation call this move a “forced annexation.”

Jason Blake, who lives on approxi-mately 33 acres in the city’s ETJ, said he received a letter from the city Sept. 6 notifying him of the city’s intent to annex his property. Blake, who said he likes living in the ETJ, said he recently purchased a $10,000 septic system

and does not need the city’s sewer or water services.

“We feel like the city of McKinney is violating the spirit of the law,” Blake said in an email. “The state of Texas Legislature and governor just spoke loudly against these types of actions and signed a law to stop cities from forcibly annexing private property. The city is using a loophole.”

The city of McKinney openly opposed the bill, City Manager Paul Grimes said.

“We think this is one of the worst bills adopted because it greatly ham-pers local government [and] local com-munities’ ability to grow and … control our own destiny,” Grimes said. “So it’s going to be a challenge for us.”

RESIDENTIAL IMPACT

By annexing property, the city is growing its tax base, Grimes said. If it is harder to expand the tax base, the current residents will continue footing the bill.

If the city plans for a parcel of land in the ETJ to be used for commercial development but is developed as res-idential prior to annexation, the long-term sustainable tax base for the city changes, said Michael Quint, executive director of development services.

MCKINNEY’S

DESIGNED BY JONATHAN MCGINNIS


McKinney is seeking to annex nearly 5.9 square miles of land in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, or ETJ, prior to Dec. 1, when Senate Bill 6 becomes law.

FOOTPRINT

October 24th @ 6:30pm


ELDORADO PKWY.

Grimes said he and city staff under-stand that people choose to live in the ETJ for a reason.

CITY’S PLAN OF ACTION

The city has until Dec. 1 to annex properties under the existing law and existing exemptions.

Prior to annexing the proposed prop-erties, two public hearings will be held Oct. 16 and 17. A vote of approval by City Council will take place at a City Council meeting before late November, which is within the 120-day require-ment to complete the process per state law, Grimes said in an email.

City Council approved a resolution for strategic annexations on Aug. 26, which allows the city manager to direct staff to conduct necessary activities required to potentially annex the 5.9 square miles of land.

At a Sept. 19 meeting, council approved the city manager to execute “all necessary development agree-ments in association with the pending

municipal annexations generally located in the northwest sector of McK-inney,” according to city documents.

All landowners will be given the option to sign a non-agricultural development agreement or agricul-tural annexation agreement before the city moves forward with the proposed annexation, Grimes said.

“People brag about North Texas and the opportunity and the growth and all of that. Well, part of that growth is our ability to grow. Take that away and by definition it stops,” Fuller said. “You can argue it’s good for the people in the county; you can argue the property rights side of it; but at the same time you are going to have to understand that, that will come with a cost to us financially for everybody in this area.”
