Explanation
AN15-009
BACKGROUND: This ordinance is being submitted, as required by the Ohio Revised Code (ORC), in order to set forth the municipal services and zoning conditions the city of Columbus will provide upon annexation of territory located in Hamilton Township. This site is one of three Columbus Regional Airport Authority (CRAA) properties at Rickenbacker for which annexation is being pursued as outlined in an agreement between the City of Columbus and CRAA.
Submission of an annexation petition to Franklin County for this site is pending. A service ordinance must be passed before the annexation meeting takes place before the Board of County Commissioners of Franklin County. Information regarding municipal services that would be available, should the subject site be annexed, has been compiled and is reflected in this ordinance. If the petition is approved by the County Commissioners, a second City ordinance accepting the annexation will be necessary to complete the process. The time frames specified in the ORC require that this legislation be filed as emergency.
FISCAL IMPACT: The statement of municipal services and zoning conditions for a proposed annexation area has no fiscal impact. While provision of the stated services does represent cost to the City, annexation of land also has the potential to create revenue to the City.
