20 - Year Growth Plan - City of Kendleton

Loop 541 and the KCS Rail line are approximately 350-feet and 440-feet north of andparallel to the US 59 frontage road respectively. This roadway and rail line combinationfurther bisects the City’s jurisdiction and creates an odd intersection spacing with FMRoad 2919 which is the city’s main arterial thoroughfare. Traffic issues regarding thisintersection are discussed in Section 5.Figure 3-12: Railroad and Loop 541intersection with FM 2919 inKendleton.In early 2012, the City acquired additional land area through a voluntary annexation sothat portions of the eastern city limit are adjacent the Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ)of the City of Rosenberg. Rosenberg’s jurisdictional boundaries prevent additionalsignificant City Limit or ETJ acquisition to the east of the City. Due to the San BernardRiver being the Fort Bend County line, no additional ETJ can be acquired to the west ofthe City either. Thus, future City of Kendleton jurisdictional growth must occur primarilyalong the north-south axis of FM 2919.Figure 3-13: Potential jurisdictionalexpansionOther existing physicalcommunity factors such asroadway conditions andhousing stock assessment arefully described in Sections 5and 6 respectively.20-Year Growth Plan 17
