Edward Garza, on behalf of E. G. Ranch, Ltd., stated that they would like to voluntarily annex the tract of land. He inquired whether a landowner would not be able to submit a request for agricultural exemption upon annexation of the land. He stated that typically landowners would rather maintain an agricultural extension until such time as they are prepared financially to proceed with land development.
Cm. Galo stated that they have had many tracts of land within the City of Laredo that have not been developed. He mentioned that if a landowner is serious about being annexed by the City, then that landowner needs to be ready and take that approach and not just have the land within the city limits and obtain city services without the City getting any benefit. He would like for the Planning and Zoning Department to look at a time frame or not more than three years for the landowner to have an opportunity to bring the property on line. He explained that the City does not want a situation where the landowners have farm animals in order to maintain their agricultural use exemption. He wants to make it clear that the City is annexing land that the City is anticipating to develop in the near future.
Motion to amend the article to read that the landowners shall keep their agricultural exemption for not more than three years.
