Explanation
AN15-012
BACKGROUND: This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN15-012) by the city of Columbus. The Ohio Revised Code stipulates that to be effective, City acceptance must take place a minimum of 60 days from the receipt by the City Clerk of the approval notice from the county. If City Council does not accept the ordinance within 120 days of its first consideration, the annexation will be considered rejected. This petition was filed with Franklin County on September 22, 2015. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on October 5, 2015. Franklin County approved the annexation on October 27, 2015 and the City Clerk received notice on December 2, 2015.
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.
