Overview, discussion, and direction from City Co uncil regarding the po ssible c re atio n of an Extrate rritorial J urisdiction
(ETJ ) M unicipal Utility District (M UD) for the propo sed Ragsdale Ranch De velopme nt -- Nick Wo olery, Assistant City
Manager
I T EM S UMMARY:
Staff previo usly brought this request to a Co unc il Workshop o n April 12 , 2022. Co unc il voiced c oncerns regarding the
proposed de nsity, the impacts the project would have to the city’s wastewater system, and lack o f connectivity to Ronald
Reagan Blvd. Co unc il directed staff to continue working with H K Real Estate thro ugh these items. Staff is prepared to
update the Council o n the status of the project and seek Co unc il’s direction on whether the re is support fo r the proposed
ETJ M U D.
B ackground
H K Real Estate owns approximately 336 acres of land located in the northwest quadrant of the city’s E TJ , just south of
Ronald Reagan Boulevard and north of F.M. 3405. The land is not contiguous with city limits.
H K Real Estate intends to entitle the pro pe rty as a single-family development as shown in the pre sentatio n. The updated
land plan has remove d the multi-family units and reduced the o verall lot c ount from 1,515 to 1,161 units, which would
include a mix of single-family units that range in lot size from 50’ – 70’ and would be subject to an even higher standard of
masonry than tho se of the city’s current M U Ds. HK Real Estate has increased the public parkland from appro ximately 10
acres to 17 acres, whic h will include several no n-exclusive amenities such as, a playground, sports co urts, do g park, trails,
etc. The project will also include a private amenity center and just under 12 acres of additional o pen space. In addition,
H K Real Estate is working with E S D No. 4 on a potential fire station site.
In consideration for the amount of growth anticipated in this are a of the City, staff re c ommends that the City be
responsible for the c onstructio n of the downstream improvements and require an impac t fee multiplier to be paid, which
would assist in offsetting the capital co sts asso c iated with the construction of the infrastructure. H K Real Estate has
agreed to pay the city’s updated impact fees, effective March 1, 2023, as well as pay the impact fee multiplier.
Regarding co nnectivity to Ronald Reagan Blvd., the pro pose d alignment is include d in the attached presentation. H K Real
Estate has stated they are making every effort to ac quire necessary right of way to Ronald Reagan and have confirmed
alignment with County staff and Commissioner.
As with all E TJ M U D requests, the consent agreement will include the payment of a Master Developer Fee, which is paid
to the City at the time o f M UD bond issuance. The Master De veloper Fee is a percentage of M U D bonds issued and is
used for municipal operations impacted by the development but not paid through property taxes.
Should Council direct staff to move forward with this project as proposed, there would be an amendment to the
Comprehensive P lan as the City’s Future Land Use P lan currently has this are a designated as rural residential, which is
less than 1 unit per acre, the city’s lowest density residential future land use category.
