The Liberty Hill City Council on July 23, 2025, adopted an ordinance approving voluntary dedication of a portion of County Road 277 right‑of‑way and held first‑reading hearings on the proposed annexation and zoning of a 10.002‑acre parcel at 8935 West State Highway 29.
Action taken: a council member moved "to adopt ordinance number 2025‑o‑023, which approves the request of voluntary of right of way of a portion of County Road 277 as discussed in this ordinance." Another council member seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Context and purpose: staff said the annexation of County Road 277 is standard when property adjoining a county road is annexed and the road will serve a future development (referred to in staff comments as the "mansions" project and as serving the high school). Staff told council the road will be improved in connection with the proposed development and that annexation was intended to accommodate those improvements.
Related items: council also heard introductory motions and testimony for case 2025‑13‑A (annexation of approximately 10.002 acres at 8935 W. State Highway 29) and a related zoning map amendment (2025‑3‑ZZ). Staff indicated the parcel is in the city’s controlled growth sector, would be served by Georgetown water and the city’s wastewater system, and falls under an ESD No. 4 sales‑tax sharing agreement. Because the annexation requires separate public hearings, council treated the annexation and the zoning case under their required procedures: the annexation will return for a second public hearing and a later vote, while the zoning item was given a first reading tonight but no final vote was taken.
Public comment: no members of the public were present to speak on the County Road 277 annexation or the 10.002‑acre annexation/zoning items during their hearings.
Next steps: staff said the second public hearing for the annexation and the related zoning will be scheduled for Aug. 13, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., and council will consider final action after required notices and hearings are complete.
