Summary

This item concerns the disannexation of approximately 4.2 acres of land located at 3115 and 3117 Westlake Drive from the City of Austin's full purpose jurisdiction. The disannexation is requested by the property owners under Texas Senate Bill 1844, which allows for disannexation of areas adjacent to navigable waterways if the city has not connected the majority of properties in the area to its water and wastewater systems. The properties are adjacent to Lake Austin. The ordinance will amend the city's boundary limits, removing the specified area from full purpose jurisdiction while it remains within the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). This action has no fiscal impact on the city.

Citizen Impact

Residents in the disannexed area will no longer receive city services such as police protection, solid waste collection, and planning/zoning services from the City of Austin. Law enforcement and waste collection will be handled by Travis County Sheriff's Office and Austin Resource Recovery, respectively. Other services like fire protection, emergency medical services, and electric utility service may continue through interlocal agreements.
