Council annexes 191.07 acres for an AEDC industrial and business park (Ordinance No. 7915)

The Amarillo Economic Development Corporation petitioned to annex about 191 vacant acres near Georgia Street and Farmers Avenue for an industrial and business park. City staff first brought the request (then described as 190.59 acres, case A-20-01) to the Planning and Zoning Commission for comment on October 19, 2020; no comments were given. On April 13, 2021 the council approved the agreed service plan and passed Ordinance No. 7915 on first reading, each 5-0, and adopted it on second reading April 27, 5-0. On July 7, 2021 the commission unanimously recommended rezoning 178.43 acres of the section from Agricultural to a Planned Development for an industrial and business park that staff said included a dairy facility under development.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]
