AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: June 27, 2011
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for annexation of JIREH Investors, LLC property
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation for JIREH Investors, LLC property.
Analysis
The property owner submitted an application for annexation of approximately 15 acres of land generally located on the west side of C.R. 468 and south of Lewis Road, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is County A (Agriculture). Currently, the property is used for agriculture and a single family home and the proposed use is for offices, retail and warehousing.
The surrounding zoning of adjacent properties is County RP (Residential Professional) and County R-3 (Medium Residential District) on the north, County RP (Residential Professional) on the south, County A (Agriculture) and County R-7 (Mixed Residential District) on the east, and City PUD (Planned Unit Development) on the west. The proposed Land Use designation for the subject property is City General Commercial. 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 was recommended for approval by the staff, but denied by the Planning Commission due to public concerns regarding compatibility with neighboring agricultural uses. The Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be handled during this year’s required EAR Amendments
City water and wastewater utilities are available in the area. The developer is responsible for all costs and construction work required 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 will 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 development of this property as shown on the Fiscal Impact Analysis.
