Summary
The Sulphur City Council accepted a petition to annex property at 2211 Patton Street and advanced an ordinance to enlarge city boundaries for the same parcel; council said the property will be zoned commercial.
The Sulphur City Council voted to accept a petition to annex property at 2211 Patton Street and to advance an ordinance to formally enlarge the city limits to include the parcel.
Mayor Dennehy told the council the property owner plans a substantial private investment and that the annexation would make “a very positive thing for Sulphur,” and council members approved both motions without public opposition.
Council members moved and seconded a resolution accepting the annexation petition from DD Property Holding LLC for the parcel at the northwest corner of Patton Street and Post Oak Road. The council then held a public hearing and moved forward with an ordinance to enlarge and extend the city boundary to include the same property, with the council indicating the land will continue to be zoned commercially.
