EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Annexation by Agreement — A request by Milwaukee, Ltd. et al, for annexation.
Description of the area -- a 268.16 acre tract of land out of Section 34, Block AK, Lubbock
County, Texas
LOCATION:
This tract of land is located south of 501h Street and west of Upland Avenue, within Lubbock County and
the City of Lubbock's ETJ. It is part of a1,450 acre area previously identified by the Annexation and
Growth Advisory Committee as Tract "E", which was recommended for unilateral annexation earlier in
the year, and was postponed.
CURRENT USE OF LAND:
The 268.16 acre area is currently vacant and undeveloped.
SURROUNDING LAND
The property to the north is outside the city limits and is mostly vacant, with a few single family homes.
The property to the south is outside the city limits and is mostly vacant, with a few single family homes.
The property to the east is inside city limits and is vacant on the west side of Upland Avenue, with a few
single family homes on the east side of Upland Avenue. Lastly, the property to the west is outside the
city limits and is developed with single family homes.
ACCESSIBILITY:
This tract of land borders two thoroughfares: 50th Street and Alcove Avenue.
AVAILABILITY OF AND IMPACT ON CITY SERVICES: (A Service Plan is not required)
Municipal services will be provided to the area in accordance with the City of Lubbock's established
policies governing extension of municipal services to newly annexed areas.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends this area for low density residential development, with
10 acres of commercial development at the corner of 50th Street and Alcove Avenue.
IMPACT OF ANNEXATION — LONG TERM AND SHORT TERM:
The short-term impact of annexation will be the immediate need to provide services such as police and
fire protection, code enforcement, and animal services. However, there are many long-term benefits
provided by annexation which include the ability of the City to plan effectively for anticipated growth,
protect corridor entries into the city, ensure orderly development and land use, expand the tax base, and
capture appropriate revenue to help support the entire city.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
On 10/09/2017, the Annexation Committee recommended the request for approval by a vote of 5-1.
Terry Holeman, Trey Strong, Greg Garrison, Jack Benton, and Kyle Carruth voted in favor of the
request. Maurice Stanley voted in opposition to the request. George McMahan recused.
