Gulf Gate (Reinvestment Zone No. 8): Busker described the sixth amended project plan, which would annex roughly 269 acres to the Gulf Gate zone. The administration says the area contains substandard and deteriorating structures and underused land that impedes growth. The plan identifies road rights‑of‑way and tracts described by HCAD parcel numbers and says the amendment aligns with city TIRZ policies. The administration recommended approval. No council action was required on Nov. 5; consideration was set for Dec. 3.
Greater Greenspoint (Reinvestment Zone No. 11): Busker presented a fifth amended plan proposing about 50 acres of annexation, bounded by Rush Creek Drive, Ella Boulevard, Davis High School and Spears Gears Road. The administration said the annexation is consistent with state law and TIRZ policy and could support applications to housing agencies for development of low‑income housing. Council scheduled full consideration for Dec. 3.
Harrisburg (Reinvestment Zone No. 23): Busker presented a third amendment adding approximately 8.2 acres (specific HCAD parcels were cited) and identified right‑of‑way inclusions. The administration recommended approval and noted alignment with prior TIRZ policies. Council set the item for a future vote on Dec. 3.
Each hearing was conducted under the procedural requirements of the Texas Tax Code sections cited during the presentations. City staff said they had published required notices and briefed the economic development committee. Council members asked questions about intended development outcomes; no final action was taken Nov. 5.
