Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Chris Saunders, Policy and Planning Manager Wendy Thomas, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Final adoption of Ordinance 1921, zoning 3.889 acres located at 2507 and
2511 N. 7th Avenue in conjunction with the Murdoch’s Annexation.
Application No. 15240.
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2015
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission finally adopts Ordinance 1921 establishing
an initial B-2 zoning on the 3.889 acres known as the Murdoch’s Annexation.
BACKGROUND: Preliminary approval was granted on to zone the property B-2 in conjunction with annexation of the subject property on July 20, 2015. The annexation agreement
and accompanying required documents have now been signed and returned to the City for
processing. Applicable actions have also been taken to address the terms of annexation. The City
Commission must now adopt the zoning ordinance simultaneously with signature of the
annexation agreement. Provisional adoption occurred on September 28, 2015.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None at this time.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the resolution and annexation agreement
2. Deny the resolution and annexation agreement
FISCAL EFFECTS: Annexing the property and establishing the new municipal zoning will enable future development with connection to City sewer and water services and service by the
public services (police, fire, streets, etc.) of the City. This would increase tax values and
corresponding revenue from the property. The City will accrue additional costs to service the
property with municipal services.
