MEETING DATE: June 26, 2006
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP
Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for Annexation: Gerald B. Galbreath
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends Aapproval of the proposed
annexation.
Analysis:
In
response to an application for annexation of property located on Joy Haven Road south of U.S. Hwy 441 between Mabel Lane
and Mapache Lane, the City has evaluated the area relative to
additional property that could be annexed into the City to allow for a more
regular city limit/city service boundary. State Statute 171.0413(6) provides
for the City to initiate annexations with the consent of at least 50% of the
property owners. It was determined by Sstaff determined that it is not in the City’s best interest at this time
to annex that additional property could not be annexed
at this time because adjacent property cannot be added to this annexation without a
formal election under state law, because it is developed
residentially, and an
election may or may not be successful, because no other property owners have
expressed a desire to annex at this time.
The project site is approximately ½ acre. The property is generally located on Joy Haven Road south of U.S. Hwy 441 between Mabel Lane and Mapache Lane, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is County R-1 (Rural Residential). Currently, the property is developed as a single family residence and the proposed use would continue to be a single family residence. The surrounding zoning designations are City C-3 (Highway Commercial) to the north and County R-1 (Rural Residential) to the east, west and south.
Also on the agenda for this meeting are the rezoning and the Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for this property, which are recommended for approval by the 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. City pPolice and fire
services are presently provided in this area and impacts on the provision of
these services are estimated to be minimal.
Approval of the annexation would give the City jurisdiction over the use and development of the subject site and provide for application of City standards to this property.
Attached is the Annexation Agreement for this property, which will be before the Commission for consideration on July 10, 2006.
Options:
1. Approve the requested annexation; or. This would
give the City jurisdiction over the use and development of the subject site and
provide for application of City standards to this property.
2. Disapprove the proposed annexation
and the allow the development
towill remain in the
County.
Fiscal Impact:
Per approved City Commission policy, a fiscal impact analysis is not required for this site because it will be less than four residential units.
