Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance amends the acceptance of certain territory (AN23-002) by the city of Columbus, originally approved on June 26, 2023. The Department of Development has determined that it is necessary to amend the acceptance due to an unintentional typographical error on the amount of acreage accepted. The original ordinance authorized the transfer of territory to Montgomery Township per an annexation agreement between the City and Blendon Township, and the requirement to submit a petition to the Board of County Commissioners of Franklin County, Ohio in accordance with Section 503.07 of the Ohio Revised Code requires this legislation be filed as emergency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Provision of municipal services does represent cost to the City; however, the annexation of land also has the potential to create revenue to the City.
