The City of Houston has consented to the addition of 8.21 acres of vacant land to Porter Special Utility District. The land is proposed to be developed as commercial property and is located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City. Wastewater treatment will be provided by the Porter Municipal Utility District Wastewater Treatment Facility, which also serves neighboring utility districts. Potable water is provided by the district. The nearest major drainage facility is Ben’s Branch, which flows into the San Jacinto River and eventually into the Houston Ship Channel. The annexation tract is not within the 100- or 500-year floodplain.
This annexation supports commercial development within Porter Special Utility District, ensuring that necessary services such as wastewater treatment and storm water management are in place for new developments. It contributes to the sustainable development of the area while maintaining alignment with the City of Houston's planning and environmental standards.
