Approve a Resolution for the First Amendment to the Hotel Development
Agreement between the City of Anna and North Texas Hoco, LLC. (Assistant
Director of Economic Development, Natasha Roach)
North Texas Hoco, LLC is the current owner of a certain tract of real property in
the City of Anna, Texas located on U.S. Highway 75 near the Anna Surgery
Center that is suitable for a hotel development.
As detailed in Resolution No. 2023-02-1366, the City of Anna, Texas, and Owner
entered into a certain Hotel Development Agreement with an Effective Date of
February 15, 2023, concerning the development, construction and operation of a
hotel to be located on U.S. Highway 75 near the Anna Surgery Center on the
Property.
On January 16, 2025, North Texas Hoco, LLC submitted formal documentation
requesting to invoke Section 3(b) stating that the City Manager, at his discretion,
may agree in writing to extend any of the time periods for commencing
construction or issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, but the sum total of all
extensions granted by the City Manager may not exceed six months. This request
was for a six-month extension on the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy
that was scheduled for January 31, 2025.
On January 23, 2025, the City Manager issued a certified letter in response to
the request by North Texas Hoco, LLC stating that he would grant the request for
one (1) six-month extension for issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, which
will now be due by July 31, 2025. This extension is effective as of January 31,

On May 22, 2025, North Texas Hoco, LLC submitted formal documentation
requesting consideration to allow for an additional six-month extension for the
issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. The expected completion date is now
expected to be December 31, 2025.
This agreement has been amended to now state the date of issuance of the
Certificate of Occupancy must occur by December 31, 2025. The City Manager
will still have the ability, at his discretion, to extend the time period, but the sum
of all extensions granted may not exceed six months. Staff recommended
approval.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS
APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO A HOTEL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
WITH NORTH TEXAS HOCO, LLC
Approve a Resolution for the First Amendment to the Economic Development
Incentive Agreement between the City of Anna and the Seitz Group, Inc.
(Assistant Director of Economic Development, Natasha Roach)
This Amendment to the Economic Development Incentive Agreement is to
amend the terms in which the reimbursement for costs associated with the
development of Buddy Hayes and the extension of the waterline are paid back to
the developer. In the original agreement, those reimbursements were tied to the
completion of two end users and would not be paid out until those end users were
constructed and open for business. The intended timeline for those
reimbursement costs was to be issued at the completion of the construction of
those projects and upon acceptance of those projects by the City. This
amendment makes that change.

This item is for the approval of change orders for the Collin Pump Station Ground
Storage Tank project to relocate the chemical injection points to feed both lines
and add a new 8" Well line. The total cost of the change orders is $87,413.96.
The Collin Pump Station Ground Storage Tank No. 2 project is a public water
system Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) project located near the corner of State
Highway 5 and the Collin County Outer Loop. The City Council awarded the
construction of the project to Red River Construction on February 13, 2024, via
Resolution 2024-02-1595, for an amount not to exceed $10,843,000.
The project is currently under construction. Recently, the City has been in
discussions with Atmos regarding an adjacent high pressure gas main located
along the east side of the Collin Pump Station site. Based on the proximity to the
gas main and feedback from Atmos, City staff have determined that it will be
necessary to relocate some of the underground piping for the project to locations
further away from the gas main. During this change, the city has discovered a
need to relocate the chemical injection points to feed both lines as well as adding
a new 8" Well line. Staff is recommending the change to improve long-term safety
for the operation and maintenance of the pump station.
Staff recommended the City Council to approve an increase to the overall project
budget of $87,413.96.

COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Future Land Use Plan (FLUP): Urban Living
Urban Living are high density neighborhoods that support a variety of different
housing types in a walkable development pattern. Urban neighborhoods are
composed of a relatively compact network of streets that are easy to navigate by
car, bike or on foot. They may contain one or more of the following housing types:
Small lot, single-family detached, townhomes, duplexes, condominiums or
apartments. In an urban neighborhood, housing is located within proximity to local
retail and services that serve residents and surrounding neighborhoods. This
PlaceType typically includes a higher intensity of uses developed in an urbane
style that are supported by nodes of activity.
Downtown Master Plan: The Downtown Master Plan is a sub -plan of the Anna
2050 Comprehensive Plan. In the Plan, the Downtown was subdivided into two
distinct sub -areas - the Downtown Core District and the Downtown Neighborhood
District. The site is located within the Downtown Neighborhood District.
Within the Downtown Core District and Downtown Neighborhood Districts, five
distinctive Character Area classifications were developed to define the diverse
development patterns that exist in varied locations and to understand the
opportunities that they provide. The site is located in the Intown Residential
Character Area.
The following primary building types are appropriate in Intown Residential:
Detached residential. The following secondary building types are appropriate in
Intown Residential: Churches, Civic Structures, Accessory Structures, Open
Spaces.
Specific Use Permit
When considering an application for a Specific Use Permit, the Planning & Zoning
Commission may recommend, and the City Council may establish, conditions
and regulations necessary to protect the health, safety, morals, and general
welfare of the neighborhood and/or the city. In addition, the use shall be in general
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and general objectives of the city.
Use -specific Standards are provided in Section 9.04.037(b) of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Parking: The Zoning Ordinance parking standard for Multifamily Dwelling Units is
one parking space per one -bedroom unit; two parking spaces per two -bedroom
and 3-bedroom units plus 0.25 spaces per unit for visitors. 50% of required
parking must be covered, not including visitor parking. The proposed
development will consist of four one -bedroom units, each with a one -car garage.
One off-street visitor parking space will be provided. The proposed development
meets the Zoning Ordinance parking requirement.
CONCLUSION
The request to rezone the property from SF-1 Single Family Residential Zoning
District to the Downtown -Neighborhood Zoning District is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan and Downtown Master Plan.
The request for a Specific Use Permit to allow a medium -density multi -family
development is in conformance with the Future Land Use designation of Urban
Living. According to the Downtown Master Plan, the Downtown Neighborhood
District is intended to provide a transition from the Downtown Core to the rest of
the community. Adaptive reuse and infill development of small lots in this area
promotes opportunities for reinvestment in older areas of town and are
appropriate transitional uses in the downtown area. This type of development
provides opportunities for a wide range of urban housing products that
accommodate people at all stages of their lives. Further, medium -density housing
in the downtown neighborhoods promotes reinvestment as they provide the
critical residential base necessary to support the businesses envisioned for the
Downtown core.

Mr. Ryan Long submitted his opposition to the rezoning.

Consider/Discuss/Action on an Ordinance Amending Special Event Permits.
(Acting Director of Neighborhood Services Jeff Freeth)
The current special event ordinance was adopted on October 14, 2008, in which
the population was estimated to be just above 2,000 neighbors. Fast -forward to
today with an increased population and added community amenities (parks and
facilities). Both these factors have led to staff experiencing an increased number
of inquiries into and submissions of special event permit applications. This
ordinance amendment is necessary to ensure the safety of attendees of the
events as well as the ease of processing for those submitting applications.
Currently, the requirement for submission is 30 days minimum, with the issuance
of a permit requiring a Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommendation
for approval to Council, and Council approval. Extending the minimum days for
submission would allow staff to have sufficient time to review all elements of the
application, discuss at the Internal Logistics Meeting, make recommendations
and communicate with the applicant. Allowing the City Manager or designee to
approve the permits also allows for a more streamlined process for applicants.
The updated application will also allow us to capture more definitively, and widely,
the details/specifications of the applicant's event and, in turn, minimize the
necessity for follow-up questions. The recommended updates more closely
replicate those of municipalities within the region.
MOTION: Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Carver moved to approve. Mayor Pro Tem
Toten seconded. Motion carried 7-0.
