AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: July 11, 2011
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for annexation of Norhen Properties, Inc. (Jose Garcia)
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation for Norhen Properties, Inc property.
Analysis
The property owner submitted an application for annexation of approximately 10 acres of land generally located west of U.S. 27, north of Ravenswood Court Subdivision and east of Chase Landing, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is County R-6 (Urban Residential). Currently, the property is partly undeveloped and part single family rentals, and the proposed use is for a commerce park.
The surrounding zoning of adjacent properties is County RMRP (Mobile Home Rental Park) and County C-2 (Community Commercial) on the north, County R-6 (Urban Residential) on the south, City P (Public), City C-3 (Highway Commercial), County CP (Planned Commercial), City PUD (Planned Unit Development) and County C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) on the east, and County R-6 (Urban Residential) and County RMRP (Mobile Home Rental Park) 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 is recommended for approval by the staff and Planning Commission. The Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment will be handled during this years required EAR 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 development of this property as shown on the Fiscal Impact Analysis.
