Comprehensive Plan, development processes, and future development in
the City of Anna, Texas. (City Manager Ryan Henderson)
The City Council of the City of Anna adopted the Anna 2050 Comprehensive
Plan on April 27, 2021, by Ordinance 903-2021, which includes significant
changes to policies, processes, and goals for the community. Since that
time, the City of Anna has grown significantly, including major increases in
residential, commercial, and industrial development. Typically,
comprehensive plans receive a minor update every 5 years, and more
significant updates every 10 years. However, the accelerated pace of
development since 2021 has made 2024 an appropriate time to review key
elements of the plan pertaining to land development. The best way to review
the comprehensive plan is to begin with an overview of the plan itself, and
to also discuss the key components of land development within the
community.
The purpose of this item was to provide the City Council and the Anna
community with an overview of the following items:
• Anna 2050 Comprehensive Plan (focus on development aspects of the
document)
• In -city Development versus ETJ Development
• Overview of Anna's Development Process
• Incentives and Special Districts
This item was not a public hearing. It was a workshop for collaboration
between the City Council and City staff regarding development in the
community. Staff is prepared to act upon the feedback received at the
direction of the City Council.
6. Adjourn.
Mayor Cain adjourned the meeting at 8:55 PM.
