Item No: 5.B.1.
Meeting Date: January
28,
2013
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 8.5
acres of land generally located on the west side of U.S. 27, north Palm Drive
and west of Connell Road, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The
present zoning for this property is County R-6 (Urban Residential). Currently,
the property is undeveloped and a single family rental. The proposed use is for an assisted living facility.
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 Low Density Residential. The
annexation of the property would allow for more compact urban form.
Also,
on the agenda for this meeting is a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
and a rezoning application for this property, which is recommended for approval
by the staff and Planning Commission.
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.
