Analysis• Caution in annexation advised in Comprehensive Plan:
• "Rapid land use expansion and recent annexations have affected the identity of the City and established a new development pattern that is fiscally unsustainable.“
• Using the annexation tool too liberally creates pockets of land throughout the city that fall into disuse and lead to other issues
![Page 12: City Council January 22, 2013 Planning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54586785af79592b448b53b8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Plan’s Guidance for Annexation• the City should "annex areas before extensive
development of home sites and business properties occurs, guiding any such development within a framework of municipal regulations on zoning, subdivision, signs, fire prevention and building construction.“
• The area is vacant, and thus, no such development is in place;
• Not an argument that all vacant property should be annexed;
![Page 13: City Council January 22, 2013 Planning](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54586785af79592b448b53b8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Plan’s Guidance for Annexation• Subdivision Ordinance requires that development that seeks to
utilize San Angelo's water service petition for annexation before such service can be extended;
• Appears 20 acre tract was created specifically to pursue annexation in order to develop – in context that it is under same ownership;
• "recognize that determining best areas for annexation involves anticipating realistic potential for development around the urban fringe, annexing the most promising such areas...".

Plan’s Guidance for Annexation• Current development, created when platting the property,
now embraced within The Boulevard subdivision, created in summer 2011;
• Plat contains an important piece: Appaloosa Trail extension;
• Minor collector street planned long-term in the Thoroughfare Plan to eventually provide a vital connection;
• For now, the only lateral routes of significant carrying ability connecting these two segments of the city are FM 2288/Southland Boulevard and Sherwood Way/US Hwy 67.

Plan’s Guidance for Annexation• A network of water and sewer mains, available for extension,
are in existence;• These were extended and tied into during the process of
developing The Boulevard subdivision;
