Council moves Manor Downs property into ETJ and accepts voluntary annexation petition
Summary
Council approved an ordinance placing about 146.92 acres known as Manor Downs into the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and approved a resolution accepting a petition to begin voluntary annexation of the same acreage.
The City of Manor City Council approved two related actions to start bringing the Manor Downs development into the city’s jurisdiction: an ordinance to include roughly 146.92 acres in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and a resolution accepting a petition for voluntary annexation of the same tract.
Michael Burrell, interim development services director, told council the ETJ action will allow the property to be sequentially annexed into Manor’s corporate limits. The first vote placed the property into the ETJ; the second vote accepted the owner’s petition to begin the formal voluntary annexation process.
Councilman Reyna moved the ordinance accepting the Manor Downs property into the ETJ; Councilwoman Weir seconded and the motion passed by voice vote. Councilman Moreno moved the resolution accepting the voluntary annexation petition; Councilwoman Weir seconded and the resolution passed by voice vote.
The ordinance and resolution were presented as part of a two-step sequence: the ETJ acceptance precedes and enables the voluntary annexation petition. No detailed annexation schedule, proposed zoning, or development conditions were included in the staff presentation recorded in the transcript.
