Explanation
AN14-010
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN14-010) by the city of Columbus. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that to be effective, City acceptance must take place a minimum of 60 days (but not more than 180) from the receipt by the City Clerk of the approval notice from the county. Should City Council not take such action within this timeframe, the annexation will not take place. This petition was filed with Franklin County on October 21, 2014. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on November 3, 2014. Franklin County approved the annexation on November 25, 2014 and the City Clerk received notice on December 10, 2014. The subject site is located within the City’s Northeast Pay-As-We-Grow (PAWG) area and if developed will be subject to PWAG funding mechanisms applicable to the area.
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.
