Explanation
Background:
Triangle Properties, Inc., has previously submitted plans to City Council for a 1,001.815-acre development in Liberty Township, Delaware County. Following review of these plans, City Council, by Ord. 1662-00 passed July 10, 2000, approved the establishment of a new community district under Chapter 349 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). ORC 349 requires the approval of the most populous city of the county which adjoins the county in which the development is located, if that city is located within five miles of the proposed district. On October 6, 2000, the Liberty Community Infrastructure Financing Authority was established pursuant to resolution passed by the Delaware County Commissioners. City Council, by Ord. 0545-02 passed April 8, 2002, approved an application to add property to the District.
The developer has requested that the Clerk of Council sign the application to add property to the District to evidence the city's approval of the addition of land to the District. The Development Department has previously reviewed the plans of the development within the district and has determined that there are no reasons to deny the city's approval. All necessary zoning approvals have previously been obtained for this site and the site will be served by centralized services.
Fiscal impact:
No funding is required for this legislation.
