Barry and Clyde von Rosenberg
von Rosenberg explained the annexation.
David Scott addressed the Council and spoke in favor of the annexation and against the
apartments planned at Churchill Farms.
Dan Peters spoke on behalf of the Churchill Farms Homeowners Association. Peters read
a statement from homeowners regarding their wishes to be annexed by the City. The
homeowners are requesting that the undeveloped properties surrounding Churchill Farms
be annexed as agricultural.
Bob Wunch stated that the Churchill Farms Homeowners Association is in favor of the
annexation but they have the following concerns: more area than just Churchill Farms
is annexed and all vacant land that Churchill owns is platted and zoned as submitted.
Wunch asked if there would be an annexation document. Mayor Wood responded yes
there would be an annexation plan and this is a public hearing and there will be no action
taken tonight.
David Ottauiano asked how site approval can be given when the property is not zoned
multifamily. Attorney Banks responded that there is no zoning because the property is
outside the city limits. Voltz stated that when property is not in the city limits there is
no land use protection. The only protection is the subdivision regulations.
There was much discussion between the Churchill Farms homeowners, Council, and staff
regarding the annexation and the apartments.
Clyde von Rosenberg will be the contact person for citizens wishing to voice their
concerns and opinions about the annexation.

Hildy Kingma explained that the Planning & Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to approve
the requested rezoning provided that the Century Plan amendment to change Intensity
Level 3 to Intensity Level 5 is approved and the second reading of the rezoning ordinance
be delayed until the DDP for the site is reviewed and the public improvements are made
or financialy secured. The City Manager had the following comments: When reviewing
applications for Texas Tax Credits, the State considers whether or not all local statutory
requirements have been met on the subject property. Therefore, the strength of the
application for tax credits on the subject property may be jeopardized if the second
reading of the rezoning ordinance is delayed as recommended by the P&Z. The same end
can be achieved by requiring that the required public improvements must be made prior
to final approval of a detailed development plan for the site. Kingma read the caption.

provision of dedicated public roadway access to Leander Road or Austin Avenue and on
the second reading of the ordinance being delayed until the DDP for the site is reviewed
and required improvements are made or financialy secured. The City Manager had the
following comments: When reviewing applications for Texas Tax Credits, the State
considers whether or not all local statutory requirements have been met on the subject
property. Therefore, the strength of the application for tax credits on the subject property
may be jeopardized if the second reading of the Century Plan amendment ordinance is
delayed as recommended by the P&Z. The same end can be achieved by requiring that
the required public improvements must be made prior to final approval of a detailed
