Explanation
BACKGROUND: Cypress Wesleyan Church is pursuing annexation of a 58.1 +/- acre site in Prairie Township to Columbus. An annexation petition filed by the applicant on March 16, 2012 was approved by the Franklin County Board of Commissioners on April 17, 2012. A separate ordinance, accepting the annexation, has also been filed. Because this site lies within the area covered by the Big Darby Accord Watershed Master Plan and the companion Big Darby Accord Revenue Program, the City has requested that the applicant enter into an annexation agreement. This agreement is intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the plan and revenue program.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
