Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN16-001) 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 April 18, 2016. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on May 2, 2016. Franklin County approved the annexation on May 24, 2016 and the City Clerk received notice on July 11, 2016. Annexation of this site is outlined in an agreement between the City of Columbus and the Columbus Regional Airport Authority. Columbus City Codes section 3310.09 stipulates that, upon annexation, territory covered by the agreement be assigned the zoning classification most comparable to the zoning classification applicable to such property immediately prior to annexation. This site is zoned General Industrial within Franklin County. The sites will be given the zoning classification of M, Manufacturing upon annexation.
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.
