1. City of Anna - City Council Presentation
I THOUGHT YOU WERE A HOCKEY TEAM?
Since 1993, the Dallas Stars have become the leader in
youth and recreational sports facilities with over 80,000
active participants in hockey, basketball, volleyball and
figure skating and millions of visitors per year through
our 10 Metroplex facilities.
THE DALLAS STARS
WHY SHOULDN’T WE BUILD AND OPERATE
OUR OWN FACILITY?
Municipalities who own and operate athletic facilities as an
amenity for their constituents typically operate these facilities at
a loss.
As these Municipalities find other needs for funds over the
lifespan of the facility, these facilities often become a burden
instead of an amenity for their taxpayers.
CREATE AN AMENITY FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS
•Provide a first-class recreational sports venue for the city's residents with
established programs and leagues run by an organization with over 30 years experience.
•Create a vast economic impact to the city over the course of the 30-year lease through tax
revenues earned on hotels, restaurants, gas stations and residual leisure establishments driven by the
sports facility.
•Increase your bond rating and credit worthiness for future projects all while the
Dallas Stars repay the debt service on behalf of the city in the form of monthly rent.
•Generate a sense of pride within the community by partnering with a successful and well-
established professional sports organization.
“It’s been a fantastic win-win investment for the
City and the Team.”
-Terry Lynne, Mayor of the City of Farmers Branch
•Bond Election
•Hotel Taxes
•EDC/CDC sales tax
The Dallas Stars annual rent payments can be structured to cover
the issued debt service for the project without the need for
additional financial commitments by the city and
$0 in tax increases for your constituency.

The City of Anna is experiencing record growth in multiple areas of our community.
As development east of State Highway 5 and between US 75 and State Highway

The City of Anna currently has connections to the City of Melissa in the
Throckmorton Creek Basin and the Clement Creek Basin, where sewer flows are
metered, and the City pays Melissa and North Texas Municipal Water District
(NTMWD) for the treatment and transport of wastewater. The City has identified
another needed connection in the Stiff Creek Basin, where the City of Melissa has
existing sewer infrastructure, but Anna does not currently have a sewer
connection.
The study will identify the specific infrastructure improvements required to allow
for new flow into the Stiff Creek Basin, and additional flows into the Throckmorton
and Clement Creek Basins. The findings will be used to work with the City of
Melissa to identify the scope, costs, and responsibilities for increasing capacity in
all three basins downstream of the City of Anna.

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 developments in the City of Anna west of US 75
and for adjacent customer cities and customer MUD's. 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 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 for the debt
service and fund the operation, maintenance, and future expansion of the facility.
Chambers Grove Municipal Utility District Number 1 will construct a trunk sewer
main which will connect the district to the City of Anna wastewater system.
The City previously entered into an agreement with Chambers Grove Municipal
Utility District Number 1 for transport through the City of Anna wastewater system
and wastewater treatment at the Hurricane Creek Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant.
The original agreement was approved in Resolution 2022-04-1143. At that time,
the City had not calculated the final rates that will be charged for the services
provided by the City. Now that more information is available regarding the final
construction costs and ongoing maintenance costs, the City has developed a rate
model to use in all contracts for this service.
The amended agreement has been updated to include the rates identified by the
City of Anna, which will be charged to the Chambers Grove Municipal Utility
District Number 1.

HISTORY
Resolution No. 2015-01-07 – City Council entered into a Non-Annexation
Development Agreement with QJR Partnership LTD on January 13, 2015. Prior

consent.
Ordinance No. 835-2019 - City Council annexed 223.15± acres for the Meadow
Vista development. A remainder parcel of 5.0± acres was excluded from the
annexation.
CASE OVERVIEW
The applicant is requesting to annex and zone the property to Regional

COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Future Land Use Plan (FLUP): The FLUP identifies this property as Cluster
Residential and Parks & Open Space. The Cluster Residential Place Type does
not include non-residential uses other than institutions as a primary or secondary
land use.
Thoroughfare Plan: The Thoroughfare Plan identifies a Major Collector (Buddy
Hayes Boulevard) along the western property line. The applicant would be
required to dedicate the necessary right-of-way with platting.
Access: As shown in the associated Preliminary Site Plan, the applicant is
providing the necessary two points of access from future Buddy Hayes Boulevard.
Existing Utilities: Currently sewer and water lines are not crossing this property.
The applicant understands that if their site is developed prior to the surrounding
properties, they will be responsible for their sewer and water connections.
Parks and Public Trails: A public trail will be provided on the east side of the
intermittent stream, therefore a trail is not required on this site.
Physical Features of the Site
• The property has an intermittent stream along the eastern property boundary
with approximately 100 feet in depth of flood plain that would be between the
nearest building and the boundary of the Meadow Visit subdivision’s HOA lots with
a public trail.
• Existing trees along the eastern property boundary have more restrictive tree
preservation requirements due to the flood plain. If a quality tree species with a
minimum of 6” caliper or a non-quality tree species with a minimum of 24” caliper
is located within the floodplain, it is required to be preserved or replaced.
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.
Section 9.04.035(b) of the Zoning Ordinance provides the following use-specific
standards required for Self-Storage (Mini-Warehouse):
(b) Self-Storage (Mini-Warehouse).
(1) Access.
(A) The Self-Storage (Mini-Warehouse) shall be secured to limit access
to tenants (or owners) and fire, police, or emergency service officials.
(B) A Self-Storage (Mini-Warehouse) shall provide adequate drive aisles
between all buildings for vehicle circulation and fire and emergency access.
Staff Response: The proposed Self-Storage (Mini-Warehouse) is
providing adequate drive aisles with a security gate.
(2) Storage.
(A) A Self-Storage (Mini-Warehouse) unit shall not be used for the
storage of explosives, ammunition, hazardous, or flammable materials.
(B) Self-Storage (Mini-Warehouse) units shall be used solely for the
purpose of storage of goods and possessions and shall not be used for the
operation of a business, hobby, band rehearsal, or any type of activity not related
to the storage of personal property of the owner or tenant of the unit.
(C) No outdoor storage is permitted in the C-2 zoning district.
(D) Outdoor storage may be allowed within I-1 zoning district in approved
on-site areas for vehicles and recreational equipment if they are covered by an
awning or canopy structure.
Staff Response: The applicant is Public Storage®, an international company
and the largest brand of self-storage, which has specific rules for their tenants and
will not have outdoor storage.
(3) Accessory Office.
(A) The Self-Storage (Mini-Warehouse) may include an accessory on-
site office.
(B) An office shall not exceed three thousand (3,000) square feet.
Staff Response: The building plans will ensure that an on-site office does
not exceed 3,000 square feet.
CONCLUSION
Although the request for C-2 zoning with a Specific Use Permit is not in
conformance with the Cluster Residential Place Type within the Anna 2050
Comprehensive Plan, the size of the tract along with its location behind retail, the
commercial zoning of adjacent properties, and the physical features of the site
make this a suitable location for self-storage (mini-warehouse). The property is
located on a Major Collector Road facing Regional Commercial property
(Rosamond Crossing Southeast Corner Addition), the properties to the north and
south are zoned Planned Development with a base zoning of Local Commercial
as well as an existing Telecommunications Tower, and the flood plain with
preserved trees will create a natural barrier from the single-family Meadow Vista
subdivision.

h.Conduct a Public Hearing regarding the creation of Crystal Park Public
Improvement District No. 2 pursuant to Section 372.009, Texas Local Government
Code. (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 required four separate meetings and two
public hearings, which took place during the four regular City Council meetings
scheduled for January and February 2025. 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.

On September 12, 2023, the City Council approved the 2023 Amended and
Restated Service and Assessment Plan which served to amend and restate the
Original Service and Assessment Plan in its entirety for the purposes of (1) issuing
the Improvement Area #1 Bonds; and (2) updating the Improvement Area #1
Assessment Roll.
On August 27, 2024, the City Council approved the 2024 Amended and Restated
Service and Assessment Plan serves to amend and restate the 2023 Amended
and Restated Service and Assessment Plan in part to levy new assessments on
Improvement Area 2-A and Improvement Area #2-B. However, said ordinance did
not include many of the typical findings and details normally contained in an
ordinance levying additional assessments. In order to avoid any potential
complications with the Office of the Attorney General, Bond Counsel recommends
that City Council amend Ordinance No. 1118-2024-08 in its entirety to include the
typical findings and provisions the OAG is accustomed to reviewing in the actual
body of the ordinance. This is a ministerial action item and does not include any
changes to the SAP, assessments amounts, or any financial terms or timing of the
assessments.

Exhibit “A”
City of Anna Policy and Procedure for Naming City Parks, Trails,
Recreational Areas and Other Recreational Facilities
Purpose:
The purpose of this policy is to establish a systematic and consistent approach for the official
naming of parks, trails, recreational areas, and other recreational facilities owned and/or operated
by the City of Anna.
Objectives:
The objectives of this policy are to:
• Provide name identification for individual parks or other recreation areas within the City
of Anna to ensure that they are easily located and to provide a sense of place;
• Provide criteria and procedure for naming parks or other recreation areas to ensure that
given names are consistent with the values and character of the area or neighborhood
served and within the City as a whole;
• Assure the quality of the chosen title/name, so that it will serve the purpose of the City in
a permanent manner; and
• Provide opportunities for public participation and input to fully represent the best interest
of the community in the naming and dedication of parks and other recreation areas.
Definitions:
The umbrella of parks, trails, recreational areas, and other recreational facilities includes all
property assets under the City’s ownership and the Neighborhood Services Department’s control
including buildings, structures, open spaces, public parks, natural areas, and other environmental
lands and habitats.
Naming Criteria:
The following criteria may be used in determining the appropriateness of the naming
designation:
a. Geographic location (such as neighborhood, street name, etc.)
b. Nearby natural and physical characteristics of the land
c. Historical or cultural significance
d. Persons of outstanding civic service to the city
e. Documented community support
f. Events hosted in the area
g. Relevant concepts or ideas
h. Organizations providing community service in the area
i. Significant material contributions
j. Significant financial contributions
Naming Procedure:
The following process shall be followed in naming parks or other recreation areas:
1. City residents, staff, community leaders, and community organizations interested in
proposing a name for a park or other recreational area shall submit a written
recommendation to the Neighborhood Services Director. Recommendations need to
describe in detail why the submitted name merits designation.
2. A variety of means to encourage public participation to submit a name may be
implemented by the Neighborhood Services Department such as city website
advertisement, public notices sent to community members in proximity of recreational
area, and more. The means to submit a written recommendation, no matter the specifics
of the medium, will be available through the City website and at City Hall.
3. The Neighborhood Services Department shall research and verify information on names
provided in the recommendations. The Neighborhood Services Director will forward
naming recommendations that meet the naming criteria to the Parks Advisory Board.
4. The Parks Advisory Board shall consider all requests that meet the criteria and submit a
formal recommendation for names deemed worthy of consideration to the Mayor and the
City Council.
5. The City Council will confirm park, trail, recreational area, and other recreational facility
names by resolution.
6. The City Council has final approval and may reject any naming or renaming request.
7. The City Council may name or rename without following these procedures.
8. The process of naming new facilities shall normally be done before construction begins.
Renaming:
The intent of naming is for permanent recognition; the renaming of parks and other recreational
areas within the City of Anna is generally discouraged. Though, the City understands that
renaming parks and other recreational areas may be necessary to create more cohesiveness
throughout the City or to update past names that have become irrelevant or dishonorable. It is
recommended that efforts to change a name become subject to crucial examinations so as not to
diminish the original justification for the name or discount the value of prior contributors.
Renaming a park or other recreational area will follow the same procedure stated above.

AGENDA ITEM:
Discussion on the City's continued partnership with Housing Finance Corporations
(HFC) and Public Facility Corporations (PFC). (Council Member Kevin Toten)
SUMMARY:
The City of Anna has established both the Anna Housing Finance Corporation and
Anna Public Facility Corporation. Both corporations are utilized to incentivize affordable
housing options.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
BACKGROUND:
The Anna Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) was created in 2021 by the City of Anna
and operates pursuant to Chapter 394, Local Government Code, as amended. The AHFC
plays a key role in the financing of affordable rental housing developments in the City
through the issuance of tax-exempt private activity bonds that are typically also financed
with the Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs). The primary function of the AHFC is to
issue single-family and multi-family bonds for the financing of reasonably priced housing.
The Anna Public Facility Corporation (APFC) was created in 2021 by the City of Anna and
operates pursuant to Chapter 303, Local Government Code, for the purpose of assisting the
City in financing, refinancing, or providing public facilities. The APFC provides for the
acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, renovation, repair, and furnishings of public facilities
in the City. The APFC may also serve as an additional bond issuer to significantly expand
its access to private activity bond cap for financing affordable housing in the City of Anna.
