Universal City council has voted to extend nonannexation agreements with extraterritorial jurisdiction properties surrounding FM 1518 and Cibolo Creek.
Some details: At the Oct. 7 council meeting, Mayor Tom Maxwell broke a 3-3 tie on a motion to extend the agreements for five years, rather than annex the 148 acres and 13 properties.
The council's decision means that it is now up to each property owner to decide if they wish to extend the agreement or be annexed, City Manager Kim Turner told Community Impact.
The backstory: The nonannexation agreement process began in 2015, when Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, or JBSA, conducted a joint land use study and found concern in vacant property across the area encroaching on the base. In response, cities surrounding the base annexed the ETJ containing the properties to gain local control. Landowners were against annexation when the city met with them, leading to a 10-year nonannexation agreement term approved in January 2016, Turner said.
