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 g 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 i 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 "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 ilea Of Annexation • 2 1 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 ofthe 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
in the status of the Property.
