AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: September 11, 2006
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance to annex property for the City of Leesburg-Highland Lakes Water Plant
Staff Recommendation:
The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation for the City of Leesburg-Highland Lakes Water Plant.
Analysis:
The City submitted an application for annexation of approximately one acre of land generally located east of U.S. Hwy. 27, at the terminus of Cash Court, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is County PUD (Planned Unit Development). Currently, the property is used as a water plant and the proposed use would continue the water plant use. The surrounding zoning designations are primarily Planned Unit Development districts.
Staff 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. Staff determined that additional property could not be annexed at this time because adjacent property is developed residentially.
Also on the agenda for this meeting are the rezoning and the small scale comprehensive plan amendment of this property, which are recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
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 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 fiscal impact analysis for this site was not prepared because it does not fall into the guidelines approved by the City Commission. However, there would be a small fiscal impact from the required Stormwater Management Fee.
