ANNEXATIONS

Annexation is the process by which the city extends its municipal services, laws, taxing authority, and voting privileges to a new territory.  Annexation encourages orderly growth and provides standardized service to all citizens. It also promotes fairness by requiring that those who use the services provided by a city share in the costs of operating the city. There are three parts to an annexation:

• ORDINANCE TO ANNEX: The annexation ordinance is a legal document that describes properties proposed for annexation.  A map of the area accompanies it.

• RESOLUTION TO ADOPT PLAN OF SERVICE (POS): The POS describes how the City will service the properties upon annexation into the city.  Services include police protection, fire protection, refuse collection, streets and signage, traffic control, water and wastewater, building and code inspection services and recreation services. The POS takes the form of a resolution.
• ORDINANCE TO ZONE: Since the properties are located in the county with county zoning, the zoning ordinance assigns a city zoning district to the properties upon annexation.  For the requested Tap Root annexation, the property owner/applicant has requested a zoning to Specific Development-Residential with density of 2.28 units per acre.  A development plan proposing a specific site layout accompanies this zoning request.

For Items 13 through 15, each of the items related to a specific area being annexed have been grouped together to facilitate easier discussion at the meeting.  The resolution to approve the proposed development plan follows the POS, annexation, and zoning discussions and voting.
