Background
In 2007, the City entered into numerous non-annexation agreements with the respective property
owners in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The agreements contained a ten-year term and
expired in November of 2017. In October of 2017, Staff asked the City Council for direction regarding
the expiring non-annexation agreements. In some cases, the City Council directed staff to offer
property owners another non-annexation agreement. However, the Council also directed Staff to
proceed with the annexation of approximately 65 acres on the west side of the City after the
agreements expired (see attached map).
Following is a brief timeline for the annexation process:
·October 2017 - The City Council directed Staff to proceed with the annexation process
·January 2018 - The City Council adopted an ordinance establishing the public hearing dates
and authorizing staff to prepare the annexation service plan
·February 2018 - The Planning & Zoning Commission considered this item and voted
unanimously to recommend annexation
·March 2018 - The City Council holds two annexation public hearings (one on 19 March and
another on 22 March)
·April 2018 - The City Council is scheduled to take final action on the annexation
In terms of annexation planning, all four areas have the potential to accommodate future growth on
the west side of the City. Area 1 is completely surrounded by the City while Area 2 is surrounded by
the City on three sides. Areas 3 and 4 contain future thoroughfares which will provide needed
connectivity on the west side of the City.
Again, the City Council is not expected to take any action at either public hearing. Final action on the
annexation ordinance is scheduled for the Council’s regular meeting on April 26, 2018.
Budget & Financial Summary: A fiscal impact analysis will be provided prior to final action on the
annexation ordinance.
Legal Review: Yes

Background
There are many reasons a city considers annexation. These include securing a tax base, utility extensions, implementing planned land
uses and thoroughfares, providing for a safe built environment, protecting sensitive lands, preserving unique areas, and affording room
for future growth. Historically, annexation has been a very important factor in sustaining the population growth of Texas cities and it
continues to serve as a critical component of the city’s growth management strategy. Legislative changes at the state level have made
annexations more difficult for Texas cities and there are many considerations when employing this strategy.
An important part of any annexation consideration is the anticipated impact caused on the City’s service delivery systems and this report
is intended to provide a summary of impacts by department.
Area Description
A map of the four areas currently under consideration for annexation under the exempt status is included as Appendix “A”. A general
description of the area is provided below:
The proposed annexation area contains approximately 65 acres, three dwelling units, and has an estimated population of eight residents.
The annexation areas are located on the west side of the City, generally located in the vicinity of Rock Prairie Road West, Holleman
Drive South, and North Graham Road. Annexation area three contains approximately .25 miles of public roadway (North Graham Road).

Annexation Considerations
Growth Management and Capacity
Chapter Eight of the City’s Comprehensive Plan addresses Growth Management & Capacity. The purpose of Chapter Eight is to establish
the necessary policy guidance and associated strategies to enable the City to manage its ongoing physical growth and development in a
sensible, predictable, and fiscally-responsible manner. In terms of future annexations, Chapter Eight contains Map 8.1 (Potential
Annexation Priorities and Phasing) and Table 8.1 (Annexation Considerations). Table 8.1 provides the following reasons to consider
annexing the areas:
Area(s) adjacent to the City on two or more sides;
Provides undeveloped or underdeveloped area for future growth;
Located within the CSISD boundary;
Health and life safety concerns (building and fire code enforcement, emergency response, etc.)
Other Planning Considerations
Annexation of the proposed areas should be also be considered to enable land use control and provide effective thoroughfare planning.
Other Service Providers
The proposed annexation areas are totally within the Wellborn Special Utility District's water service area and currently served by that
entity. The areas are also completely within the electric service territory of Bryan Texas Utilities.
Capacity to Annex
Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code allows cities to annex up to ten percent of its size in any given year. This amount is
allowed to be accrued and for up to three years. Currently, College Station may annex up to approximately 9,700 acres. The total acreage
under consideration with this proposal is approximately 65 acres or less than one percent of the area allowed to be annexed by State law.

Annexation Impacts
The service impacts of annexation typically include police services, fire protection, emergency medical services, solid waste collection,
public right-of-way maintenance, utility maintenance (as applicable), code enforcement, development services, and building permitting
and inspections. The Departments responsible for these services have provided information to assess the potential impact of annexing
the area under consideration. Following is a summary of the anticipated impacts:
Police Services
The area proposed for annexation will have a minimal impact on the Police Department's ability to provide services. The land uses, as
proposed, do not create a need for more officers at this time and should pose minimal budget implications. Should development continue
in the proposed annexation areas, there is a possibility that beats will have to be restructured to adequately distribute the additional
workload. If the workload becomes unmanageable and response times increase to an unacceptable level, the need for an additional beat
will become a necessity. The Police Department will monitor the area and respond appropriately to the demand for emergency services.
Fire Services
Annexation of the area will have a moderate impact on the Fire Department’s service levels. As with any potential annexation there will
be impacts on the Fire Department’s ability to deliver services within designated drive times. A future fire station (number seven) is
proposed to be located near the annexation area. The Fire Department has a 3,000-gallon water tanker and a grass firefighting truck
which places the Department in a better position to effectively respond to off-road areas and other areas not adequately covered by fire
hydrants. The Fire Department will continue to work with the Brazos County Emergency Services Districts through existing mutual aid
agreements to protect newly-annexed areas as growth occurs.
Solid Waste Collection
The proposed annexation area can be served by the Sanitation Division without additional personnel or collection equipment. Existing
homes in the annexation area that are currently served by private waste service providers may elect to have the City provide solid-waste
collection immediately after annexation or continue to use a private provider for a period of two years after the effective a nnexation
date.
Public Works – Thoroughfares and Street Maintenance
Annexing the proposed area will have a minimum impact on the City’s ability to maintain streets and drainage. The proposed annexation
includes approximately .25 miles of public roadway (North Graham Road). Following annexation, Public Works will monitor the area
and respond appropriately to any increased demand for services.
3
Building Permits and Inspections
Building plans review and building inspections for the areas under consideration can be provided without adversely impacting current
service levels.
Code Enforcement
Code Enforcement services for the areas under consideration can be provided without adversely impacting current service levels.
Planning
The proposed exempt annexation areas will not adversely impact current planning service levels. The Planning and Development
Services Department currently services this property by way of administration of Article 8 , Subdivision Design and Improvements of
the CITY OF COLLEGE STATION UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE. Upon annexation, planning and development services will expand
to include other portions of the UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE as applicable.
Wastewater
Wastewater service is currently available to annexation area four. Should the annexation service plan reveal a need for additional
wastewater service to the areas, additional infrastructure and/or the expansion of existing facilities may be required.
Transportation
Annexation areas three and four contain thoroughfares identified on the City’s Thoroughfare Plan. New thoroughfares typically occur as
part of the development/redevelopment process or through the City’s Capital Improvement Projects process.
