THIS DEVELOPMEN~4~EM'f\NJ}N LIEU OF ANNEXATION (the "Agreement") is
made and effective this day of~· 20 16, and is entered into pursuant to §212 .172 of
the Texas Local Government Code, by anet between the City of Lubbock, Texas, a Texas home rule
municipal corporation (the "City"), and the undersigned property owner(s) (the "Owner"), with the
term "Owner" including all owners of the Property, and is as follows :
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A ; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March I 0, 20 16; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Prope1ty and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement ; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In lieu Of Annexation - 1 I P a ,g e
I
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091(a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision ofthis Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3 -The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.
Section 4-The Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Tenn") shall be twenty (20) years from the
date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the
Term, the Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have filed
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Ueu Of Annexation-2 I Page
a petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to voluntary
annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5-Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Term. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the tiling of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7 -Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or grantee,
and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's
heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen ( 14) days of any change
in the status of the Property.

this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any other provision or subsequent

any way intended to constitute a waiver by any Party of any immunity from suit or liability that it may
have by operation of Jaw. The Parties agree that the City shall retain all of its governmental
immunities.
Section 9 -Assurance of Ownership. The Owner hereby expressly affirms that it is the sole owner
of the Property and that no other person or entity has a valid claim to any right, title, or ownership in

defending and confirming its absolute right, title, and ownership to the Property. If the Owner cannot

jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason , such unenforceable provision shall be deleted from
this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be
interpreted to give effect to the intent of the Owner and the City. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, if it is determined that, as of the date that this Agreement becomes effective, that any

CH. 212 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF ANNEXATION
TillS DEVELOPl\fE~!~f.i~El\fENT I~ LIEU OF ANNEXATION (the "Agreement") is
made and effective this ~aay of~ 2016, and is entered into pursuant to §212.172 of
the Texas Local Government Code, by ~en the City of Lubbock, Texas, a Texas home rule
municipal corporation (the "City"), and the undersigned property owner(s) (the "Owner"), with the
term "Owner" including all owners of the Property, and is as follows :
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March 10, 2016; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock ; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation - 1 I P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the
Property shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's
use of the Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the
City, and the City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with
§43.002 of the Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091 (a) of
the Code of Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the
city limits, and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the
Property is annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this
Agreement, then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas
Local Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172
development agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's
ETJ, as such authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3-The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property, or
if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use of
the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to use
certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government Code
§43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation. Further,
the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under §43.002(a)(2)
and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by virtue of any plat
or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of this Agreement and
the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.
Section 4-The Term. The term of this Agreement (the ''Term") shall be twenty (20) years from the
date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the
Term, the Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have filed a
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation - 2 I P a g e
petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to voluntary
annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5 -Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Tenn. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign this
Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to the
expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6 -City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7-Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or
grantee, and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the
Owner's heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen (14) days of
any change in the status of the Property.
A copy of any notice required by this section shall be forwarded to the City at the following address:

provisions of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except by a written
agreement signed by the Owner or the City waiving such provision. Any waiver shall be limited to the
specific purposes for which it is given. No waiver by the Owner or the City of any provision of this
Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any other provision or subsequent waiver of

intended to constitute a waiver by any Party of any immunity from suit or liability that it may have by
operation of law. The Parties agree that the City shall retain all of its governmental immunities.
Section 9-Assurance of Ownership. The Owner hereby expressly affirms that it is the sole owner of
the Property and that no other person or entity has a valid claim to any right, title, or ownership in the

the Owner's execution of this Agreement, the Owner hereby agrees to be solely responsible for
defending and confirming its absolute right, title, and ownership to the Property. If the Owner cannot

performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. No subsequent change in the law
regarding annexation shall affect the enforceability of this Agreement or the City's ability to annex the

shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.09l(a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is

of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to

The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall tenninate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43 .062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by

the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.

CITY OF LUBBOCK
CU. 43 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF ANNEXATION
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF ANNEXATION (the "Agreement") is
made and effective this l4th day of Uo~ I , 2016, and is entered into pursuant to §43.035
and §212 .172 of the Texas Local Gover~de, by and between the City of Lubbock, Texas
(the "City") and the undersigned property owner(s) (the "Owner"), with the term "Owner"
including all owners of the Property, and is as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County,
Texas, which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and
held public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March I 0, 20 16; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property
and the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the C ity of Lubbock;
and ·
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to
enter into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is
being used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City
and the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County,
Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A ," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction
of the City, is subject to an Agricultural Use tax exemption according to the most recent Lubbock
Ch. 43 Development Agreement In lieu Of Annexation·-1 I P a g e
County Appraisal District's ad valorem tax appraisal, and is subject to annexation by the City
unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner agrees that the sole use of the Property shall be for agriculture, consistent with Chapter
23 of the Texas Tax Code, except for any existing single-family residential use on the Property.
The Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not
eligible to receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts,
and the Property shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The
Owner's use ofthe Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable
uses of the City, and the City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that
comply with §43 .002 of the Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section
22.03.09l(a) of the Code of Ordinances ofthe City prohibits the City from providing water to any
entity outside of the city limits, and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the
Property unless the Property is annexed into the City. However, ifthe Property is annexed pursuant
to a provision of this Agreement, then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to
Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. Pursuant to §43.035(b )(I )(B) of the Texas Local Government Code, the
City is authorized to enforce all of the City's regulations and planning authority that do not
materially interfere with the use of the Property for agriculture in the same manner that the
regulations are enforced within the City's boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority
pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local Government Code to exercise eminent domain over
property that is subject to a Chapter 43 or §212.172 development agreement. The City further
reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such authority has been granted
to it by the City Council.
Section 3-The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to cease the agricultural use
of the Property . The Owner agrees not to develop the property by filing any type of subdivision
plat or related development document for the Property with Lubbock County or the City
throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the
Property, or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which
supports or promotes the agricultural use of the Property, then this Agreement shall terminate, and
in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a petition for voluntary annexation
by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the discretion of the City Council.
The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the Owner hereby consents to such
annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality
to use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local
Government Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an
Ch. 43 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation -2 I P a g e
annexation. Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have
under §43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise
exist by virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the
expiration of this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.
Section 4-The Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall be twenty (20) years from
the date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end
of the Term, the Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to
have filed a petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to
voluntary annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term,
the City may commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5-Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Term. This Agreement shall
terminate upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with
Lubbock County, upon the Lubbock County Appraisal District's removal of the agricultural
exemption on the Property, or upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the
Property with the authority to sign this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing
to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term ofthis Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does
not affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null
and void in its entirety.
Section 7-Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior
to such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or
grantee, and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and
the Owner's heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen (14)
days of any change in the agricultural exemption status of the Property.

address:

which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March 10, 2016; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter

WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation - 1 I P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration ofthis Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091(a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3 -The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.

date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the
Term, the Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have filed
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation -Z I P a g e
a petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to voluntary
annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5 -Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Term. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6 -City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7 -Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or grantee,
and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's
heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen (14) days of any change

any way intended to constitute a waiver by any Party of any immunity from suit or liability that it may
have by operation of law. The Parties agree that the City shall retain all of its governmental
immunities.
Section 9 -Assurance of Ownership. The Owner hereby expressly affirms that it is the sole owner
of the Property and that no other person or entity has a valid claim to any right, title, or ownership in

defending and confirming its absolute right, title, and ownership to the Property. If the Owner cannot

with the performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. No subsequent change in the
law regarding annexation shall affect the enforceability of this Agreement or the City's ability to annex
the Property pursuant to this Agreement.

CH. 212 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF ANNEXATION
THIS DEVELOPMENI j\~REE~T m LIEU OF ANNEXATION (the "Agreement'") is
made and effective this 4f day of ~t?A\ , 2016, and is entered into pursuant to §212.172 of
the Texas Local Government Code, by anCI between the City of Lubbock, Texas, a Texas home rule
municipal corporation (the "City"), and the undersigned property owner(s) (the "Owner"), with the
term "Owner" including all owners of the Property, and is as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March 10, 20 16; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Ueu Of Annexation - 1 I P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091 (a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a § 212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3-The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.
Section 4-The Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall be twenty (20) years from the
date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the
Term, the Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have filed
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation - 2 I P a g e
a petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to voluntary
annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5 -Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Tenn. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7-Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or grantee,
and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's
heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen (14) days of any change
in the status of the Property.
A copy of any notice required by this section shall be forwarded to the City at the following address:

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March 10, 20 16; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:

particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Ueu Of Annexation - 1 I P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration ofthis Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses ofthe City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.09l(a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside ofthe city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, ifthe Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.

of the Property as it is used on the date ofthe execution ofthis Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by tiling any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the

The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development ofthe Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.

annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5-Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Term. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term ofthis Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7-Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or grantee,
and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's
heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen ( 14) days of any change

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March I 0, 20 16; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section I -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation -1 I P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses ofthe City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43 .002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091(a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3 -The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or ifthe Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
[f annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.
Section 4-The Tenn. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall be twenty (20) years from the
date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the
Term, the Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have filed
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation-2 I Page
a petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to voluntary
annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5-Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Term. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration ofthe Term of this Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7-Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or grantee,
and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's
heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen ( 14) days of any change

Property shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's
use of the Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the
City, and the City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with
§43.002 of the Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091(a)
of the Code of Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside
of the city limits, and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless
the Property is annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of
this Agreement, then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the
Texas Local Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172
development agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's
ETJ, as such authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3 -The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been
tendered by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.

term "Owner" including all owners of the Property, and is as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March I 0, 20 16; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter

WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being

WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of

Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Ueu Of Annexation • 1 I
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091{a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 25 I of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §2 I 2.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3-The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is tiled for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.

THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEME~.f I~ LIEU OF ANNEXATION (the "Agreement") is
made and effective this 14 ~ day of 12.-11 , 2016, and is entered into pursuant to §212.172 of
the Texas Local Government Code, by an between the City of Lubbock, Texas, a Texas home rule
municipal corporation (the "City"), and the undersigned property owner(s) (the "Owner"), with the
term "Owner" including all owners of the Property, and is as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A and Exhibit 8; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March 10, 2016; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees .to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A" and "Exhibit 8," is located within the extraterritorial
jurisdiction of the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement i~ signed by the
Owner.
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation -1 I P a g e
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.09l(a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3 -The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.

involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's

WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March I 0, 20 16; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and

WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT

particularly described in the attached ;•Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.

Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration ofthis Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered'" into the acceptable uses ofthe City, and the

Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091 (a) of the Code of

and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,

Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City"s

The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.

Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under

virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of

this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.

THIS DEVELOPMENT ~GREEM~Jfl ~lEU OF ANNEXATION (the "Agreement") is
made and effective this ~ day of 2016, and is entered into pursuant to §212.172 of
the Texas Local Government Code, by an between the City of Lubbock, Texas, a Texas home rule
municipal corporation (the "City"), and the undersigned property owner(s) (the "Owner"), with the
tenn "Owner" including all owners of the Property, and is as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March 10, 2016; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation -11 Page
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration ofthis Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091 (a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3 -The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution ofthis Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a}(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.
Section 4-The Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall be twenty (20} years from the
date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the
Term, the Owner, and all ofthe Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have filed
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation - 2 I P a g e
a petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to voluntary
annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5-Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Tenn. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term ofthis Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7 -Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or grantee,
and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's
heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen { 14} days of any change
in the status of the Property.

immunities.

Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.

Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration ofthis Agreement. The Owner's use of the

Government Code .
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property , and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's

If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43 .052 , requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation .
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under

the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not

the Texas Local Government Code, by ~en the City of Lubbock, Texas, a Texas home rule
municipal corporation (the "City"), and the undersigned property owner(s) (the "Owner"), with the
term "Owner" including all owners of the Property, and is as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property '(the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March I 0, 20 I 6; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration ofthis Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In lieu Of Annexation-1 J P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses ofthe City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091 (a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside ofthe city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3-The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.

date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the

annexation in accordance with Section 3 ofthis Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5-Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end ofthe Term. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. lfthe City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.

and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's

and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is

use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under

CH. 212 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF ANNEXATION
THIS DEVELOPMENT J'ft.REEME~ \LIEU OF ANNEXATION (the "Agreement") is
made and effective this~ day of , 2016, and is entered into pursuant to §212.172 of
the Texas Local Government Code, by an between the City of Lubbock, Texas, a Texas home rule
municipal corporation (the "City"), and the undersigned property owner(s) (the "Owner"), with the
term "Owner" including all owners of the Property, and is as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March 10, 2016; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation -1 I P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.09l(a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3 -The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.
Section 4-The Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall be twenty (20) years from the
date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the
Term, the Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have filed
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation -2 I P a g e
a petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to voluntary
annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5-Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Term. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term ofthis Agreement.
Section 6 -City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7 -Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or grantee,
and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's
heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen ( 14) days of any change
in the status of the Property.

party of any material provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver thereof, and the Owner
or the City shall have the right at any time thereafter to insist upon strict performance of any and all
provisions of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except by a written
agreement signed by the Owner or the City waiving such provision. Any waiver shall be limited to
the specific purposes for which it is given. No waiver by the Owner or the City of any provision of

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March I 0, 20 I 6; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Ueu Of Annexation - 1 I P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.09l(a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such

The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of

annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation ofthe Property.

this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6-City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -Tbe Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached .. Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Ueu Of Annexation -1 I P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.09I(a} of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3 -The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.
Section 4-The Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall be twenty (20) years from the
date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the
Term, the Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have filed
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Ueu Of Annexation • 2 I;.P a g e
a petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to voluntary
annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Tenn, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5 -Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Term. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6 -City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock docs not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7-Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or grantee,
and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's
heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen ( 14) days of any change
in the status of the Property.
A copy of any notice required by this section shall be forwarded to the City at the following address:
City of Lubbock
Attn: City Secretary
P.O. Box 2000
Lubbock, Texas 79457
With copy to: City of Lubbock
Attn: Director of Planning
P.O. Box 2000
Lubbock, Texas 79457
This Agreement shall run with the Property and be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock
County, Texas.
Section 8 -Waiver. Any failure by the Owner or the City to insist upon strict performance by either
party of any material provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver thereof, and the Owner
or the City shall have the right at any time thereafter to insist upon strict performance of any and all
provisions of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except by a written
agreement signed by the Owner or the City waiving such provision. Any waiver shall be limited to
the specific purposes for which it is given. No waiver by the Owner or the City of any provision of
this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any other provision or subsequent
waiver of the same provision. The Parties expressly agree that no provision of this Agreement is in
any way intended to constitute a waiver by any Party of any immunity from suit or liability that it may
have by operation of law. The Parties agree that the City shall retain all of its governmental
immunities.
Section 9 -Assurance of Ownership. The Owner hereby expressly affirms that it is the sole owner
of the Property and that no other person or entity has a valid claim to any right, title, or ownership in
the Property. Should any dispute of right, title, or ownership concerning the Property arise subsequent
to the Owner's execution of this Agreement, the Owner hereby agrees to be solely responsible for
defending and confirming its absolute right, title, and ownership to the Property. If the Owner cannot
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Ueu Of Annexation -3 I P a g e
defend or fails to defend its right, title, and ownership to the Property, then this Agreement shall
terminate.
Section 10-Governing Law. This Agreement is entered into under and pursuant to, and is to be
construed and enforceable in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, and all obligations of
the Owner and the City are performable in Lubbock County, Texas. Venue for any action to enforce
or construe this Agreement shall be Lubbock County, Texas. This Agreement is subject to all
applicable federal, state, and local laws and any applicable ordinances, rules, orders and regulations
of any local, state, or federal governmental authority, having or asserting jurisdiction. However,
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver by the Owner or the City of any
right to question or contest any law, order, rule, or regulation which may affect the terms and
conditions of this Agreement in any forum having jurisdiction, and the Owner and the City each agree
to make a good faith effort to support all proposed laws and regulations which would be consistent
with the performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. No subsequent change in the
law regarding annexation shall affect the enforceability of this Agreement or the City's ability to annex
the Property pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 11 -Remedy. The City reserves the right to exercise any right or remedy available to it by
law, contract, equity, or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to seek any and all forms of
relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the City shall not be subject to any arbitration
process prior to exercising its unrestricted right to seek judicial remedy. The remedies set forth herein
are cumulative and not exclusive, and may be exercised concurrently. To the extent of any conflict
between this provision and another provision in, or related to, this Agreement, the former shall control.
Section 12 -Public Information. This Agreement is public information. To the extent, if any, that
any provision of this Agreement is in conflict with the Texas Public Information Act (Tex. Gov't.
Code Ann. Chapter 552 et seq., as amended), the same shall be of no force and effect.
Section 13-Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement only inures to the benefit of, and may only
be enforced by, the Owner and the City. No other person or entity shall have any right, title, or interest
under this Agreement or otherwise be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
Section 14-No Personal Liability & No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement is construed as
creating any personal liability on the part of any employee, officer or agent of any public body that
may be a party to this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not be construed to,
create any joint enterprise between or among the parties.
Section 15-Due Diligence & Force Majeure. The Owner and the City shall use good faith, due
diligence, and reasonable care in the performance of the obligations under this Agreement, and time
shall be of the essence in such performance. In the event that the Owner or the City is unable to
perform its respective obligations under this Agreement, due to any event or circumstance that is not
within the reasonable respective control of the Owner or the City that could not have been avoided by
either the Owner or the City with the exercise of good faith, due diligence, and reasonable care (a
"Force Majeure"), then the obligations affected by the Force Majeure shall be temporarily suspended.
Within three (3) business days after the occurrence of a Force Majeure, the Owner or the City shall
give notice to each other, including a detailed explanation of the Force Majeure and a description of
the action that will be taken to remedy the Force Majeure and resume full performance at the earliest
possible time.
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Ueu Of Annexation - 4 I P a g e
Section 16 -Enforcement. This Agreement may be enforced by the Owner or the City by any
proceeding at law or in equity. Failure to do so shall not be deemed a waiver to enforce the Agreement
thereafter.
Section 17-Governmental Powers. It is understood that by execution of this Agreement, the City
docs not waive or surrender any of its governmental powers, except as expressly set forth herein.
Section 18 -Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and constitute one and the same instrument. The Owner
acknowledges that each and every owner of the Property must sign this Agreement in order for the
Agreement to take full effect.
Section 19-Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, such unenforceable provision shall be deleted from
this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be
interpreted to give effect to the intent of the Owner and the City. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, if it is determined that, as of the date that this Agreement becomes effective, that any
Owner does not own any portion of the Property, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect with respect to the remaining portion of the Property that the Owners actually own.
Section 20-Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Owner
and the City and supersedes all prior agreements, whether oral or written, covering the subject matter
of this Agreement. The Owner acknowledges that each and every Owner of the Property must sign
this Agreement in order for the Agreement to take full effect.
Section 21 -Captions & Recitals. Captions and headings used in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement. However, each of the recitals
contained herein, by this reference, shall be incorporated into, and deemed a part of, this Agreement.
Section 22 -Modification of Agreement. This Agreement cannot be modified or amended except
in writing signed by the Owner and the City and attached and made a part of this Agreement.
Section 23-Ch. 212 Agreement in lieu of Ch. 43 Agreement. If the Property is subject to an
agricultural exemption, the Owner hereby acknowledges that the City, through the Office of the City
Attorney, offered to make a development agreement with the Owner under §43.035 of the Texas
Local Government Code. The Owner further acknowledges that the Owner rejected the offer to make
a §43.035 Agreement in order to enter in to this §212.172 Agreement.

), with the
term "Owner" including all owners ofthe Property, and is as follows:
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Owner owns a parcel of real property (the "Property") in Lubbock County, Texas,
which is more particularly and separately described in the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the City has instituted annexation proceedings for all portions of the Property and held
public hearings regarding the proposed annexation on March 8 and March 1 0, 20 16; and
WHEREAS, at the public hearings, the Owner was presented with a service plan for the Property and
the Owner was given the opportunity to be heard by the City Council of the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, the Owner does not want the Property to be annexed and desires to have the Property
remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction, in consideration for which the Owner agrees to enter
into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the City's intention to allow the Owner to continue to use the Property as it is being
used at the time of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Owner and the City acknowledge that this Agreement is binding upon the City and
the Owner and their respective successors and assigns for the duration of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is to be recorded in the real property records of Lubbock County, Texas;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the
Owner and the City agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1 -The Property: Current Status. The City acknowledges that the Property, more
particularly described in the attached "Exhibit A," is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of
the City and is subject to annexation by the City unless this Agreement is signed by the Owner.
Section 2 -The Property: Continued Status. In lieu of annexation, the Owner desires that the
Property remain in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City for the duration of this Agreement. The
Ch. 212 Development Agreement In Lieu Of Annexation -1 I P a g e
Owner acknowledges that unless the Property is annexed by the City, the Property is not eligible to
receive City services, the Property shall not be included in the City's voting precincts, and the Property
shall be immune from City property taxes for the duration of this Agreement. The Owner's use of the
Property at the time of this Agreement is "grandfathered" into the acceptable uses of the City, and the
City is prohibited from interfering with any uses on the Property that comply with §43.002 of the
Texas Local Government Code. The Owner acknowledges that Section 22.03.091(a) of the Code of
Ordinances of the City prohibits the City from providing water to any entity outside of the city limits,
and acknowledges that the City will not be providing water to the Property unless the Property is
annexed into the City. However, if the Property is annexed pursuant to a provision of this Agreement,
then the City shall provide services to the Property pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Texas Local
Government Code.
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the City shall not annex the Property, shall not
involuntarily institute proceedings to annex the Property, and shall not include the Property in a
statutory annexation plan. The Owner authorizes the enforcement by the City of all of the City's
regulations and planning authority that do not materially interfere with the use of the Property in the
same manner that the City's regulations and planning authority are enforced within the City's
boundaries. The City specifically reserves its authority pursuant to Chapter 251 of the Texas Local
Government Code to exercise eminent domain over property that is subject to a §212.172 development
agreement. The City further reserves its regulatory and planning authority in the City's ETJ, as such
authority has been granted to it by the City Council.
Section 3 -The Property: Change In Status. The Owner agrees not to substantially change the use
of the Property as it is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Owner agrees not to
develop the Property by filing any type of subdivision plat or related development document for the
Property with Lubbock County or the City throughout the duration of this Agreement.
The Owner acknowledges that if any plat or related development document is filed for the Property,
or if the Owner commences any development of the Property other than that which supports the use
of the Property as the Property is used on the date of the execution of this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall terminate, and in addition to the City's other remedies, such act will constitute a
petition for voluntary annexation by the Owner, and the Property will be subject to annexation at the
discretion of the City Council. The Owner agrees that such annexation shall be voluntary and the
Owner hereby consents to such annexation as though a petition for such annexation had been tendered
by the Owner.
If annexation proceedings begin pursuant to this Section, then the Owner acknowledges that this
Agreement serves as an exception to Local Government Code §43.052, requiring a municipality to
use certain statutory procedures under an annexation plan, and as an exception to Local Government
Code §43.062 requiring certain statutory procedures as to the Owner to effectuate an annexation.
Further, the Owner hereby waives any and all vested rights and claims that it may have under
§43.002(a)(2) and Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code that would otherwise exist by
virtue of any plat or construction the Owner may initiate during the time between the expiration of
this Agreement and the institution of annexation proceedings by the City.
Section 4-The Term. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall be twenty (20) years from the
date that this Agreement is approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. At the end of the
Term, the Owner, and all of the Owner's heirs, successors and assigns shall be deemed to have filed
Ch. ZlZ Development Agreement In lieu Of Annexation-Z I P a g e
a petition for voluntary annexation of the Property, and the Property will be subject to voluntary
annexation in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Prior to the end of the Term, the City may
commence the voluntary annexation of the Property.
Section 5-Termination.
This Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the Term. This Agreement shall terminate
upon the filing of any plat or related development document with the City or with Lubbock County or
upon the Owner's failure to prove that it is the sole owner of the Property with the authority to sign
this Agreement. The Owner and the City may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement prior to
the expiration of the Term of this Agreement.
Section 6 -City Council Approval Required. If the City Council of the City of Lubbock does not
affirmatively vote to annex an area that contains the Property, then this Agreement will be null and
void in its entirety.
Section 7-Notification. Any person who sells or conveys any portion of the Property shall, prior to
such sale or conveyance, give written notice of this Agreement to the prospective purchaser or grantee,
and shall give written notice of the sale or conveyance to the City. Further, the Owner and the Owner's
heirs, successors, and assigns shall give the City written notice within fourteen ( 14) days of any change

have by operation of law. The Parties agree that the City shall retain all of its governmental
immunities.

defending and confirming its absolute right, title, and ownership to the Property. If the Owner cannot
