Why This Matters

This is another ETJ-removal request, this time tied to a tract on CR 448. Like G8, it passed as part of the remaining consent motion rather than through a separate standalone vote.

Why we flagged it: Like other ETJ items, it affects where Princeton keeps future planning authority.

If approved

The tract would leave Princeton’s ETJ and the city’s planning reach over it would narrow.

If not approved

The tract would remain under the city’s current ETJ framework.

Potential Pros

May align jurisdiction more closely with the owner’s preferred path.
Can simplify city involvement in a specific tract.

Potential Cons

Reduces Princeton’s future leverage over land outside city limits.
The practical implications are not always obvious to the public at the time of the vote.
