Assistant City Manager Taylor Lough made a presentation updating Council on
the City's Rental Registration Program.
5
Ordinance 838-2019 adopted on December 10, 2019 established the rental
registration program. The program seeks to safeguard the well-being of our
neighbors by ensuring the health and safety standards of the city's housing stock,
build professional relationships with property owners, management, and tenants
to achieve compliance and abate issues, and educate and empower our
neighbors with the necessary resources to maintain a healthy and safe
environment. The ordinance was amended on February 27, 2024 to clarify all
rental properties, regardless of length of tenancy, must register with the City of
Anna. Rental property is defined as a single family or duplex dwelling unit, a
short-term rental, or townhouse that is leased or rented or intended to be leased
or rented to one or more persons. Single family (entire homes and single rooms),
multi -family, and mobile home parks are included in the rental registration
program.

Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Project
Specific Purchase Order with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Incorporated, for a
utility study pertaining to potential future industrial development in the City of
Anna, Texas. (Assistant City Manager, Greg Peters, P.E.)
The City of Anna is continuing to experience record growth in residential and
commercial development. In addition, the City is seeing increased interest in
potential industrial development in several areas. Industrial development is one
way to further diversify the city's tax base and provide local jobs for Anna
neighbors.
Industrial development often has specific water and wastewater requirements,
which are unique to the facility, and can require high volumes of water and
wastewater system capacity.
In an effort to ensure the City is well -prepared to work with potential industrial
developers in the near future, the City is seeking to conduct a utility study for
industrial water and wastewater needs. The study findings will be used by the
City of Anna and the Anna Economic Development Corporation as we continue
discussions with potential industrial developers.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROJECT SPECIFIC PURCHASE ORDER WITH
KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INCORPORATED, FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES PERTAINING TO AN INDUSTRIAL UTILITY STUDY, WITH AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
d. Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an Interlocal
Agreement for the 2024 Buy -Sell Program implementation for the Collin Grayson
Municipal Alliance with the City of Howe, Texas. (Director of Public Works Steven
Smith)
The Collin Grayson Municipal Alliance (CGMA) is a four -city conglomerate which
contracts with the Greater Texoma Utility Authority (GTUA) for the purchase of
treated potable water from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD).
The CGMA as a whole is allotted a specific amount of water on an annual basis
from NTMWD. This allotment is distributed between the four cities based upon
anticipated use. Each year, the cities participate in a buy -sell program, to allow
cities who have used more than their share of the CGMA allotment to purchase
an unused portion of another CGMA city's allotment.
In prior years, the City of Anna purchased unused water from Howe, Van Alstyne,
and Melissa. This year, the City of Anna is able to sell our unused portion to the
cities of Melissa, Van Alstyne, and Howe. The program provides a financial
benefit to all four cities by allowing for flexibility to meet water demand without
increasing the "take -or -pay" amount NTMWD sells to CGMA.
Approval of the Resolution and Interlocal Agreement allows the City of Anna to
sell the unused portion of the City of Anna's apportionment of water through the
Collin Grayson Municipal Alliance to the City of Howe.
A RESOLUTION RELATED TO AN INTER -LOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITIES OF HOWE AND ANNA IN WHICH ANNA AGREES TO TRANSFER
A PORTION OF IT'S RESPECTIVE CONTRACTUAL MINIMUM ANNUAL
VOLUME WATER OBLIGATION WITH THE GREATER TEXOMA UTILITY
AUTHORITY TO THE CITY OF HOWE IN EXCHANGE FOR AN AGREED
PAYMENT FROM HOWE AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND
ADMINISTRATION OF SAID INTER -LOCAL AGREEMENTS.
e. Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept and approve a
quote from National Fitness Campaign for the purchase of fitness equipment and
a shade structure to be installed on a fitness court at Anna Crossing Park. (Park
Planning and Development Manager Dalan Walker)
The fitness court at Slayter Creek Park is one of the most used National Fitness
Campaign facilities in Texas. The City has received a second grant from Blue
Cross Blue Shield of Texas to add the City's second fitness court to the park
system. Fitness equipment was requested during the public input meeting for
Anna Crossing Park, so the NFC fitness court will be a welcome addition to the
design.
The equipment included in the quote from National Fitness Campaign will be
installed on a fitness court at Anna Crossing Park by a contractor who has not
yet been selected. It will be delivered to the City and stored until needed during
the construction of the park. The fitness court will be identical to the one at Slayter
Creek Park, though the shade structure has been upgraded.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS, ACCEPTING AND
APPROVING A QUOTE FROM NATIONAL FITNESS CAMPAIGN FOR
EQUIPMENT AND A SHADE STRUCTURE TO BE INSTALLED ON A FITNESS
COURT AT ANNA CROSSING PARK.
Approve a Resolution setting a Public Hearing under Section 372.009 of the
Texas Local Government Code on the advisability of the Creation of a Public
Improvement District and improvements within the City of Anna, Texas, to be
known as Crystal Park Public Improvement District No. 2 and authorizing the
issuance of Notice by the City Secretary of Anna, Texas, regarding the Public
Hearing. (Director of Economic Development, Bernie Parker)
At the request of Bloomfield Homes, the City Council created the Crystal Park
PID in 2023. Due to a technical error in the petition that was submitted by
Bloomfield Homes at that time, the Office of the Attorney General would likely not
allow the existing Crystal Park PID to finance water and wastewater
infrastructure, which infrastructure costs comprise the majority of the public
improvements for which the District was created. Upon consultation with Bond
Counsel, the simplest way to remedy this situation is to dissolve the original
Crystal Park PID and create a new PID to be named Crystal Park PID No. 2,
which will be empowered to finance water and wastewater infrastructure.
This dissolution and re-creation process requires four separate meetings and two
public hearings. These procedural steps are not substantive and are ministerial
in nature, and Bond Counsel recommended the two resolutions in January be
placed on the consent agendas for those two meetings.
Staff recommended approving a Resolution Setting a Public Hearing under
Section 372.009 of the Texas Local Government Code on the advisability of the
Creation of a Public Improvement District and improvements within the City of
Anna, Texas, to be known as Crystal Park Public Improvement District No. 2 and
authorizing the issuance of Notice by the City Secretary of Anna, Texas,
regarding the Public Hearing.
A RESOLUTION SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING UNDER SECTION 372.009 OF
THE TEXAS LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE ON THE ADVISABILITY OF THE
CREATION OF A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND IMPROVEMENTS
WITHIN THE CITY OF ANNA, TEXAS, TO BE KNOWN AS CRYSTAL PARK
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO.2 AND AUTHORIZING THE
ISSUANCE OF NOTICE BY THE CITY SECRETARY OF ANNA, TEXAS,
REGARDING THE PUBLIC HEARING.
Approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for
wholesale wastewater treatment and transport with the Town of Weston, in a
form approved by the City Attorney. (Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.)
The City of Anna is currently constructing the first phase of a regional wastewater
treatment plant in the southwest portion of the City. The treatment plant will
provide sewer treatment for all development in the City of Anna west of US 75
and for adjacent customer cities and customer MUD's. The customer
communities will pay a wholesale rate to the City of Anna per 1,000 gallons of
flow. The revenues generated by this program will be used to pay the debt service
and fund the operation, maintenance, and future expansion of the facility.
The 500,000 gal/day package plant at the facility will come online in the Spring
of 2025, and the plant capacity will increase to 2,000,000 gallons per day in 2027.
The City is currently permitted for a first phase of up to 4,000,000 gallons per
day. The Town of Weston will construct a trunk sewer main which will connect

b. Conduct a Public Hearing/Consider/Discuss/Action on an Ordinance to annex
4.9± acres located on the east side of S. Central Expressway (U.S. Highway 75),
484± feet north of W. Outer Loop Road. (ANX 24-0004). (Director of
Development Services, Stephanie Scott -Sims, AICP)
One Community Church has submitted a petition to annex 4.9± acres of land and
is seeking to develop the property in accordance with companion item 6.c., which
is a zoning request. This is required prior to the zoning process for the proposed
development.
The property in question includes two separate, contiguous tracts of land. The
western tract is located within the City of Anna and the eastern tract is located
within the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The applicant is proposing to
use the properties in their entirety for a religious facility.
The applicant is requesting to:
1. Annex the eastern tract that is currently in the City's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction
(ETJ),
2. Zone the newly annexed tract Single -Family Residential-20 (SF-20), and
3. Rezone the western tract that is currently within the city limits from Single -
Family Residential — Large Lot (SF-E) to Single -Family Residential-20 (SF-20).
Under State Statute and City Ordinance, the City Council has authority to
approve Annexation requests without review and recommendation from the
Planning & Zoning Commission. However, under State Statute and City
Ordinance, the Planning & Zoning Commission is required to review and provide
a recommendation to City Council on all zoning requests. At the January 6th
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended
approval (7-0) subject to approval of the associated annexation.
Upon annexation of the eastern 4.9± acre tract, Sec. 9.04.009 of the City of Anna
Zoning Ordinance states that Agricultural (AG) District is the default zoning for
newly annexed property until approval of a zoning request. The proposed actions
outlined above will ensure that the entirety of the property is annexed into the
City of Anna and zoned Single -Family Residential-20 (SF-20).
Staff recommended zoning the property SF-20 District, to accommodate the
intended use. Additionally, in the event that the properties do not develop as a
religious use, the property would either have to develop with the residential uses
allowed by right within the SF-20 District or be rezoned to accommodate more
intense uses.

(Zone 24-0003) (Director of Development Services, Stephanie Scott -Sims,
AICP)
HISTORY
September 10, 2002 — City Council annexed (Ord. No. 2002-27) and zoned the
property Planned Development/Single-Family Residential (R-1)/Multiple Family
Residential (R-4) allowing some local commercial uses. (PD/Single-Family
Residential (R-1)/Multiple Family Residential (R-4) (Ord. No. 2002-27A).
CASE OVERVIEW
The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from Planned Development
with a single-family residential that allows limited commercial uses and multiple -
family base zoning to a Planned Development with a multi -family and local
commercial base zoning.
The proposal consists of two developments. On the property south of the existing
single-family residential subdivision, extending to W. Foster Crossing Road, the
applicant is proposing a multi -family townhome unit development, with
approximately 34 two-story townhome buildings containing a total of 260 one-,
two-, and three -bedroom units. The proposal includes a total of 563 parking
spaces, with a mix of tuck under garage, tandem, and surface spaces.
The City of Anna Zoning Ordinance defines a Townhome Unit as:
A dwelling that is part of a structure containing three or more dwellings, each
designed and constructed for occupancy by one family, with each dwelling unit
attached by a common wall to another, in which each dwelling is located on a
parcel of land or lot under one ownership.
The applicant is proposing three blocks or a total of 11.6± acres of local
commercial development on three tracts of land east of the existing single-family
residential subdivision, on the east and west sides of the proposed Ferguson
Parkway extension.
REQUESTED ZONING MODIFICATIONS
As part of the zoning request, the applicant is requesting the following
modifications from the Zoning Ordinance requirements as further explained in
attached Exhibit 3 (Justification Letter)
1. Density: Sec. 9.04.018(d)(9) of the Zoning Ordinance restricts Townhome
Units to a maximum density of 12 units per acre. The applicant is requesting to
increase the maximum Townhome Unit density to 14 units per acre.
Total Net Acres = 18.5 acres.
12 units per acre = 222 units maximum density allowed under the Zoning
Ordinance.
14 units per acre = 259 units maximum density.
*The Applicant's Concept Plan shows 260 units or 14.05 units per acre maximum
density, which exceeds the Applicant's requested maximum density by one unit
and needs to be revised.
2. Open Space: Sec. 9.04.029 of the Zoning Ordinance requires each Townhome
Unit to provide an amount of usable open space of 600 square feet of open space
for the first bedroom and an additional 300 square feet per additional bedroom.
The applicant requests to establish the maximum open space to 15% of the net
area of the lot.
Open Space Required per Zoning Ordinance:
600 square feet for the first bedroom plus an additional 300 square feet per
additional bedroom.
1-Bedroom units = 52 units
2-Bedrooms units = 114 units
3-Bedrooms units = 94 units
Total Unit Count = 260 units
1-Bedroom units = 52 units x 600 square feet of open space = 31,200 square
feet of required open space
2-Bedroom units = 114 units x 900 square feet of open space = 102,600 square
feet of required open space
3-Bedroom units = 94 units x 1,200 square feet of open space = 112,800 square
feet of required open space.
Total Required Open Space = 246,600 square feet (5.7 acres)
Applicant's Request:
Total Net Lot Area = 805,993 square feet (18.5 acres).
15% of the total Net Lot Area = 120,899 square feet (2.78 acres)

COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS
- Future Land Use Plan: The Anna 2050 Future Land Use Plan identifies this area
as Suburban Living and Community Commercial place types. The request for a
MF District does not conform with the property's future land use place type
designation of Suburban Living, which is intended for single-family detached
residential uses. The request for C-1 District conforms with the Community
Commercial place type in the Future Land Use Plan.
- Thoroughfare Plan: Dedication of right-of-way for W. Foster Crossing Road and
S. Ferguson Parkway complies with the Master Thoroughfare Plan.
- Access: The townhome development proposes a public entrance and a
resident -only entrance off W. Foster Crossing Road. The proposal includes a
gated, emergency only access on the north side of the development to Flower
Lane within the adjacent single-family residential subdivision. The commercial
blocks are accessed from the proposed Ferguson Parkway extension and
include a proposed extension of Burl Lane through the adjacent single-family
subdivision east through the commercial site to provide access to Ferguson
Parkway.
-Roads: In accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance, the developer will be
responsible for the design and construction of the northern half of Foster
Crossing Road adjacent to the development. Ferguson Parkway is currently
under design as a City project with State and Federal funding. The project is
currently awaiting environmental approval through the Texas Department of
Transportation. The City will incorporate any necessary changes to the Ferguson
Parkway project resulting from zoning and site plan approvals made by the
Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council for new development.
- Existing Utilities: Water lines are currently available to the property. The
development will be responsible for constructing sewer lines to service the
property.
- Schools: Anna ISD has not identified future school locations as part of this
development.
- Parks and Public Trails: The Anna 2050 Parks Master Plan does not identify
this area in need of a park or trail.
