PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Planning Division is requesting the City Council approve a Resolution of Intent to Exclude Property from the City, described as Lot 20, Block 3, Rolle Subdivision. The resolution would set a public hearing for May 28, 2013. The deannexation would result in about 6.64 acres of undeveloped land being taken out of the City. Petitioner and property owner Robert Honaker has signed the attached petition to request that this property be deannexed. The property is zoned Residential-9600. The owner intends to develop the property for a single family residence in the County given the challenges of trying to obtain City services. The property was annexed into the City in 1989.
The requested deannexation is consistent with the City’s deannexation policy in that:
1. The property is not connected to City water, wastewater, or storm drainage facilities, and appears to not be able to connect to these facilities without a significant expenditure of personal or public funds, and
2. The property is not encumbered by any indebtedness of any improvement district of which the territory is a part, and
3. The property is not adjacent to any public right-of-way
The requested deannexation is not consistent with the City’s deannexation policy in that:
1. The property is not located on the outer perimeter of the City limits and upon exclusion of the property will contribute to a series of parcels wholly surrounded by City limits.
2. The property is bordered by other property within the City Limits on the north and east, and is adjacent to the acceptable limits of annexation as defined on the most recent update of the Limits of Annexation Map.
While this deannexation petition is at odds with at least two of the criteria in the City's deannexation policy, like annexation petitions, the City Council usually accepts the petition and sets a public hearing date to more thoroughly consider the petition and review comments on the request from all reviewing City Departments.
