To the Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: CITY - INITIATED ANNEXATION OF AREA 65
NO. 8854
July 10, 2007
Page 1 of 1
The July 10 City Council agenda contains two M &Cs to initiate the annexation and zoning
process for area 65 in the Far West sector. Attached is a map of the area for your reference.
The 2007 -2011 annexation program, adopted with the 2007 Comprehensive Plan, recommends
that area 65 be considered for annexation in 2008. Councilmember Silcox would like to consider
annexation of area 65 this year in response to neighborhood concerns.
Staff has contacted the property owner of area 65 by mail to explain the annexation process and
by telephone to discuss appropriate zoning for the property. The property owner had previously
been contacted during the preparation of the annexation program.
No preliminary plats or conceptual plans have been filed for the property at this time. Based on
land use policies in the Comprehensive Plan, staff recommends that area 65 be zoned "E"
Neighborhood Commercial.
Staff has conducted a fiscal impact analysis in accordance with the adopted annexation policy.
Staff has found that the annexation would have a positive impact on the General Fund and would
not require any capital improvements to serve the area.
The annexation and zoning of the property would run concurrently, with final zoning action
occurring on September 4, 2007, one week after the annexation. This annexation, if adopted, will
be an addition to Council District 3.
Should you have any questions, please contact Fernando Costa, Planning and Development
Director, at 817 - 392 -8042.
