AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: June 11, 2007
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for annexation for Lafayette Square
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation for the Lafayette Square property.
Analysis
The property owner submitted an application for annexation of approximately 92.11 acres of land generally located at the terminus of Cabballo Road, south of Youngs Road and El Rancho Drive, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is A (Agriculture). Currently, the property is undeveloped and the proposed use of the site is for commercial and industrial uses. The surrounding zoning designations are County A (Agriculture) to the north and west and County P (Public) to the south and the east.
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 and the adjacent property is larger than allowed by the State Statute to be annexed involuntarily.
Police and fire services are presently provided in this area and impacts on the provision of these services are estimated to be minimal.
The Annexation Agreement will require future rezoning to Planned Unit Development (PUD) by the developer, which will be consistent with the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan.
Options:
1. Approve the requested annexation. 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 allow the development to remain in the County
Fiscal Impact:
As indicated on the attached fiscal impact analysis, there will be a small negative impact in the first year (-$497) and beginning in year 2 the impact will become positive with the collection of property taxes.
