AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: February 28, 2011
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for annexation for The Diocese of Orlando property
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation for The Diocese of Orlando property.
Analysis
The property owner submitted an application for annexation of approximately 38.7 acres of land generally located on the east of US Highway 27, south of Arapaho Trail and north of Windsong Oak Drive, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is County A (Agriculture). Currently, the property is undeveloped and the proposed uses are for a worship center with associated uses to possibly include private school facilities (K-8) and senior living facilities.
The surrounding zoning of adjacent properties is City P (Public) and County PUD (Planned Unit Development) on the north, County PUD (Planned Unit Development) south and east, and City C-2 (Community Commercial), County C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial), County A (Agriculture) and County R-3 (Medium Density Residential) on the west. The proposed Land Use designation for the subject property is City Institutional. The annexation of the property would allow for more compact urban form.
Also on the agenda for this meeting is a rezoning application for this property, which is recommended for approval by the staff and Planning Commission. The Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be handled during this year’s required EAR based amendments.
City water and wastewater utilities are available in the area. The developer is responsible for all cost and construction to make the necessary extension and hook-ups to City utilities in accordance with City requirements. Police and fire services are presently provided in this area and impacts on the provision of these services are estimated to be minimal.
Options:
1. Approve the requested annexation. This would give the City jurisdiction over the use and future development of the subject site and provide for application of City standards to this property.
2. Disapprove the proposed annexation and allow the development to remain in the County.
Fiscal Impact:
A positive fiscal impact will result from the annexation of this property because it will allow the City through a Covenant to Annex to bring in the City Windsong Subdivision with 185 lots which are approximately 50% developed. This will increase the City’s tax roll.
