7. Items For Individual Consideration.
a. Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider/Discuss/Action on an Ordinance

At the Wednesday, September 6, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting, the commission recommended approval of the proposed
amendments as presented.
In March of 2022, the City Council approved a professional services
agreement with Freese and Nichols, Inc. (F&N) to review and update the
City of Anna Planning and Development Regulations. City staff has been
working with F&N to implement the City's comprehensive planning
objectives and needs as identified by staff, Commissioners, Council
members, developers, and citizens. At the August 22, 2023, City Council
meeting, the Council approved amendments to Article 9.04 Zoning
Ordinance.
The Planning and Development Regulations being considered this evening
pertain to the subdivision and signage regulations. Below are some key
bullet points of the changes being considered.
Article 9.02 Subdivision Regulations
• All residential subdivisions will require a concept plan prior to platting
procedures (The concept plan can be run concurrently depending on
complexity of project).
• Rewrite of the entire procedures section
o Approval authority is now the P&Z unless there's a waiver request
from the Subdivision Ordinance. If a waiver is requested the City
Council has final approval authority with a P&Z recommendation.
o With the P&Z being the approval authority, the P&Z chairperson will
be responsible for signing Final Plats once all public infrastructure
has been installed/accepted by Engineering.

The Final Plat will be submitted after all public infrastructure has
been installed/accepted.

to allow for the sale of the property or to develop a portion of a
property and not leave a remainder unplatted.
• Subdivision Design Standards
o Requiring a min. cul-de-sac length of 400 feet. Previously there was
no min. length, just maximum length (600 feet which is unchanged).
o Removed curvilinear design requirement for roadways.

system and associated graphics.

e. Conduct a Public Hearing/Consider/Discuss/Action approving an Ordinance
adopting water and sanitary sewer utility rates for FY2024. (Interim
Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.)
During the FY2021 budget process, the City of Anna completed a utility rate
study with the assistance of a consultant. This process included a review of
all utility costs incurred by the City, all personnel, maintenance, and
operations costs, along with the anticipated rising costs of purchasing
wholesale water from the Greater Texoma Utility Authority (GTUA) and the
North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD). In addition, the sewer
treatment costs were also evaluated. The FY2024 budget has a rate
increase commensurate with these philosophies and strategies of keeping
the utility solvent and sustainable as we continue to expand with residential
and commercial growth.
This item is for consideration of an ordinance to adopt a new rate schedule
for water and wastewater rates in the City of Anna for FY2024.
The City of Anna charges for water consumption, wastewater consumption,
and other fees related to providing consumers with utility services. As an
enterprise fund, the revenues charged should, at a minimum, cover the
fund's operating expenses and debt service, as well as any other policy
goals defined by the City Council, including funding for capital projects,
capital equipment replacement, and conservation efforts.
Staff has reviewed the financial condition of the Utility Fund with the
assistance of our rate consultant and is proposing rate increases. The
revised recommendation includes a rate increase on the base charge and
volumetric charges for water and wastewater. These increases are required
to ensure that the Utility Fund maintains viability. The increases ensure that
the City is able to cover the rising costs of purchased water and sewer
treatment from North Texas Municipal Water District and the associated
costs of delivery of purchased water and transmission of sewer to treatment
facilities.
The proposed rate increases represent the minimum recommended
increases needed to balance the revenues and expenses of the Utility Fund
while meeting the needs of the growing population we serve. The City is not
adding additional staffing or making any major equipment purchases this
year. The proposed increases are solely proposed to cover cost increases
the City is facing and the funding of capital improvements.

f. Conduct a Public Hearing/Consider/Discuss/Action on a Resolution
approving annual rate adjustments for solid waste and recycling services
for FY2024. (Interim Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.)
The City of Anna entered into a contract for exclusive solid waste services
with CARDS Dallas, Incorporated in 2020. CARDS has demonstrated high
quality service for Anna neighbors, including a cart pickup success rate of
well over 99%. In addition, CARDS staff have been active in our community
assisting the City and neighbors during the winter storm in February 2021
and actively participating in City functions.
This item is to set the rates the City of Anna pays CARDS for solid waste
and recycling services. The City of Anna is entering the fourth year of our
7-year contract with CARDS Dallas, Inc. for solid waste and recycling
services in the City. In accordance with the contract, the rates paid to
CARDS by the City are subject to annual adjustments up to the Consumer
Price Index annual change. CARDS is requesting a 7% rate increase, which
is in line with the contract language. The increase also includes a hazardous
waste fee to cover the cost of the hazardous waste events which are held
twice per year. The City HOA's will be given a rate matching residential
prices excluding the hazardous waste fee, since HOAs are not allowed to
dump at hazardous waste events.
Staff found the proposed rates to be a good compromise between the City
and CARDS, and demonstrate a strong partnership between the two to
ensure a high quality service for the community.

g. Conduct a public hearing and Consider/Discuss/Action on an Ordinance
approving amendments to the Water and Wastewater Master Plans.
(Interim Assistant City Manager Greg Peters, P.E.)
The Water and Wastewater Master Plans are updated on an annual basis
based on review of staff regarding community needs.
The City of Anna utilizes Water and Wastewater Master Plans to identify
and define Capital Improvement Plan projects for major water and sewer
infrastructure throughout the City. The plans are a component of the City's
10-year Capital Improvement Plan, which is used to calculate impact fees
for growth.
The Water and Wastewater Master Plans are living documents which
require regular updates due to changing development patterns and the high
rate of growth Anna is experiencing. Staff reviews the plans on an annual
basis, or when a major development is approved which has an impact on
the respective plans.
The master plans have been reviewed and modified to reflect the changing
infrastructure needs of the community. Staff working with a consulting
engineering firm, Kimley Horn & Associates, to model the system based on
new and upcoming developments, and make subsequent changes to the
plans.
No major changes are being proposed to either plan. However, in the
Wastewater Master Plan, a new connection to Melissa's downstream
system is proposed in order to provide additional sewer capacity east of
State Highway 5. In addition, the plan shows the Sweetwater Lift Station to
be abandoned, and replaced with the Coyote Meadows regional Lift Station.
Staff recommended approval of this item.

h. Acting as the Anna Public Facility Corporation Board of Directors,
Consider/Discuss/Act on approving Resolutions authorizing the formation
of limited liability agreements and partnerships and a Memorandum of
Understanding with NRP Lone Star Development LLC for a multifamily
development. (Director of Economic Development Joey Grisham)
Staff was approached by NRP earlier this year about developing the Meryl
Street project at the SEC of US Highway 75 and FM 455. NRP is one of the
top multifamily developers in the U.S. and has developed numerous
projects across the country. 10% of the units are restricted for individuals
and families earning less than 60% of the area median income and 40% of
the units are restricted for individuals and families earning less than 80% of
the area median income. The remaining 50% of the units will be at market
rate.
Meryl Street is a proposed 337-unit multifamily development at the SEC of
US Highway 75 and FM 455. This development will boost density in the area
and help attract additional retail and restaurants along US Highway 75. The
site is currently zoned for multifamily.
