Council annexes 2 acres along Mahaffey for proposed retail center; rezoning to follow
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025-49 to annex roughly 2 acres north of Mahaffey and east of Huff Smith/Kerrville for full-purpose annexation; applicant Sean Ali said he plans about 15,000 sq. ft. of retail/commercial space and will seek concurrent rezoning through planning and zoning.
The Tomball City Council voted 5–0 to adopt Ordinance No. 2025‑49, bringing approximately 2 acres into the city limits and initiating municipal services and the annexation process.
City staff described the property as two tracts at North Mahaffey and east of Huff Smith/Kerrville. Applicant Sean Ali, owner of 2 Essentials Investments LLC, told the council he intends to develop the site as a small retail/office center of about 15,000 square feet with an estimated value of $1.5 million. "It's gonna be a subserval retail center and, probably around 15,000 square feet," Ali said in his presentation to council.
Staff explained the annexation is full purpose and that the applicant has submitted a corresponding application for commercial rezoning; the rezoning application will go to planning and zoning next week and return to council for readings and a second reading later in November or December. Staff noted that annexation is effective upon approval and that rezoning can be considered after the property becomes part of the city; the council discussed timing so the annexation second reading and rezoning second reading could be coordinated.
No members of the public offered comment during the hearing. The ordinance passed on the motion and vote recorded as "motion carries 5–0." Staff said notices required by statute were mailed to impacted property owners as part of the process.
