Summary
Council approved municipal services agreements and ordinances to annex the 77.2‑acre Kirk Tract and a 41.25‑acre Highway 130 mixed‑use site, and advanced PID/TIRZ procedures for the Highway 130 area. Votes on MSAs and ordinances were unanimous.
The Hutto City Council on Nov. 6 approved several annexation-related items and associated municipal‑services agreements (MSAs) needed to bring new development into the city and secure utility service.
Kirk Tract (FM 1660 South): Planning manager John Byron presented the municipal services agreement for a roughly 77.2‑acre site identified as the Kirk Tract. He said Jonah Water will provide water service and that the MSA is the final approval step before annexation. Council approved Resolution R‑2025‑175 authorizing the MSA (vote 7–0), then continued the related public hearing and adopted Ordinance O‑2025‑026 annexing the Kirk Tract and establishing base zoning SF‑1 (single family) and B‑2 (general commercial) (vote 7–0).
Highway 130 mixed use: Staff presented an annexation and MSA for a 41.247‑acre property at the northeast corner of County Road 109 and State Highway 130. The applicant’s MSA, signed by the property owner, was attached to the ordinance and the council approved the MSA and adopted Ordinance O‑2025‑049 (vote 7–0). Council then voted to continue the public hearing and later approved a resolution (R‑2025‑187) creating a Highway 130 Mixed‑Use PID under Chapter 372 of the Texas Local Government Code (vote 7–0). Council also voted to call the first public hearings necessary to create a Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) for the Highway 130 area and scheduled hearings for Nov. 20 and Dec. 4.
Why it matters: The annexations and MSAs set up the jurisdictional, zoning and utility framework so those development proposals can proceed with municipal water/wastewater service. Approving the PID and initiating a TIRZ process are steps to enable infrastructure financing for the Highway 130 project and to capture incremental tax revenue for zone projects.
What comes next: For the Highway 130 PID and TIRZ, the council will hold the advertised public hearings and later review the PID project and financing plan and a TIRZ project and financing plan before any commitments are made. For the Kirk Tract, staff will proceed with steps required to finalize the annexation implementation details.
