AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2008
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for annexation for Lee Hess, Inc property
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed annexation for the Lee Hess, Inc property.
Analysis
The property owner submitted an application for annexation of approximately 1.34 acres of land generally located at the intersection of US Highway 441, Sleepy Hollow Road, and County Road 44, as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is County R-1 (Rural Residential). Currently, the property is a closed convenience store with gas pumps and the proposed use is for vehicle sales.
The property, currently located in the County, is bounded on all four sides by property in the City. Annexation of the property will remove an enclave and allow for more compact urban form.
Also on the agenda for this meeting is the rezoning of this property, which is recommended for approval by the Planning Commission. A small scale comprehensive plan amendment is also on the agenda for this meeting.
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 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:
No significant fiscal impact is expected as shown by the fiscal impact analysis, because of the size of the property.
