Preparation of an Annexation Service Plan for a SAWS Property
SUMMARY:
An Ordinance authorizing the initiation of the voluntary annexation of a SAWS property, consisting of approximately 9.19 acres, located at 3610 Valley Road, contiguous to the City limits, and generally located northwest of the IH 37 and Loop 1604 intersection, within the San Antonio ETJ and Bexar County.

SAWS Voluntary Annexation Petition - SAWS requested annexation by the City of San Antonio of two tracts totaling approximately 9.19 acres of land within San Antonio's ETJ, contiguous to the existing City limits.
