Location: Northeast of Squirrel Creek Road and Link Road, and south of Bradley Road.

The proposed project includes concurrent applications for the Amara Annexation of approximately 3,200 acres (Annexation Addition No. 1-23), establishment of the A (Agricultural) zoning district, and establishment of the Amara Master Plan.

PLEASE NOTE: There are multiple agenda items associated with the Amara Annexation consisting of ordinances and resolutions associated with each area of the overall serial and flagpole annexation sequence. The ordinances include plats and legal descriptions of each annexation section. The resolutions include findings of fact and associated annexation agreements for private properties.

The first agenda item (Amara Addition No.1 Annexation Ordinance) contains attachments relevant to all of the items including presentation slides, fiscal impact report, Planning Commission Staff report and minutes, among other materials. Subsequent agenda items include abbreviated cover memos and associated ordinances or resolutions.
