Regular Agenda
City Participation in the ET3
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Joey Dunn, Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action and discussion on an
Ordinance to amend the Subdivision Regulations concerning City participation in the extra-
territorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance amendment.
Summary: Last year, the City of College Station submitted an application to the Texas
Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to extend the City's Sewer CCN (Certificate of
Convenience and Necessity) to most of the City's extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Recently
the City Council amended the policy regarding the extension of water and sewer in the ETJ
to clarify the City's obligation to serve the respective CCN (water or sewer) whether the
subject property is in the City Limits or not. If a parcel is neither in the City Limits nor a
CCN, the property owner seeking service may request an exception to the City's utility
extension policy.
Section 13-I of the Subdivision Regulations do not allow for City participation in the ETJ.
Subchapter G of Chapter 212 of the Local Government Code allows municipalities to enter
into agreements governing certain land in their ETJ. Oversize participation is limited to
municipal boundaries per Subchapter C of Chapter 212. Amending Section 13-I will enable
the City of College Station to participate in the costs of infrastructure that will be dedicated
to the City on a case by case basis similar to oversize participation.
Budget & Financial Summary: None at this time since this ordinance simply makes
development agreements permissible in the ETJ. Any development agreement resulting
from this authority must follow the established regulations for expenditure of City funds.

Regular Agenda
City Participation in the Extra-territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ)
To: Glenn Brown, City Manager
From: Joey Dunn, Director of Planning & Development Services
Agenda Caption: Public hearing, presentation, possible action and discussion on an
Ordinance to amend Chapter 9, "Subdivisions" of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
College Station, concerning City participation in the extra-territorial jurisdiction (ED).
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance amendment.
Summary: The purpose of this ordinance is to allow the City of College Station to
participate in the extension of utilities on a case by case basis in the ETJ. Last year, the
City of College Station submitted an application to the Texas Commission of Environmental
Quality (TCEQ) to extend the City's Sewer CCN (Certificate of Convenience and Necessity)
to most of the City's extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Recently the City Council amended
the policy regarding the extension of water and sewer in the ETJ to clarify the City's
obligation to serve the respective CCN (water or sewer) whether the subject property is in
the City Limits or not. If a parcel is neither in the City Limits nor a CCN, the property owner
seeking service may request an exception to the City's utility extension policy.
Currently, Section 13-I of the Subdivision Regulations does not allow for City participation in
the ED. Subchapter G of Chapter 212 of the Local Government Code allows municipalities
to enter into agreements governing certain land in their ED. Oversize participation is limited
to municipal boundaries per Subchapter C of Chapter 212. This amendment would enable
the City of College Station to participate in the costs of infrastructure that will be dedicated
to the City on a case by case basis, similar to oversize participation.
Budget & Financial Summary: No budget impacts are identified at this time, since this
Ordinance simply makes development agreements permissible in the ETJ. Any development
agreement resulting from this authority must follow the established regulations for
expenditure of City funds.
