The following are the threshold considerations for annexation: <br />1. What is the appropriate annexation procedure based on the characteristics of the property, i.e. <br />appraised for agricultural or wildlife management use or timber land, fewer than 100 residents, <br />limited purpose annexation under City Charter? <br />2. Does annexation of the area support the Comprehensive Plan? <br />3. Is the proposed annexation area contiguous to the existing City limits or can contiguity be <br />established? <br />4. Is there an agreement (Strategic Partnership, Annexation /Development Agreement etc.) with an <br />established annexation date /trigger point within the 10 -year mid -term planning period? <br />5. Can the area be provided with full municipal services within the deadlines established by state <br />law? <br />6 . Is the area bounded on two sides by City Limits (i.e. doughnut hole)? <br />The following are additional considerations listed below to be used in evaluating a property to determine <br />its suitability for annexation: <br />1. Has a water and /or wastewater service extension request been filed /approved for the property <br />(OCUs)? <br />2. Has the property been legally subdivided? <br />3. Is the area within the certificated (CCN) area of another service provider? <br />4. Is a CIP or budget amendment needed to provide services? <br />5. Has a development proposal been submitted /approved for the property? <br />6. Does the annexation create an opportunity for further annexations /ETJ expansions in the short <br />term? <br />7. Are there emergency service district (ESD) related expenses associated with the annexation? <br />8. Is there a positive financial impact for the City? <br />9. Is the land unoccupied? <br />10. Is there a need for land use control? <br />11. Are there health and safety issues? <br />Strategy for Implementation <br />Annexation /ETJ Management Review Team <br />To great degree, the strategy will be implemented through the work of the Annexation /ETJ <br />Management Review Team. The team will meet on a routine basis to exchange information, discuss ETJ <br />proposals and work to resolve internal conflicts regarding annexation and ETJ issues. This group also will <br />be charged with identifying areas to be included in the Rolling Annexation Candidate List and the Annual <br />Annexation Program. They will also provide input to the annexation service plans and the fiscal impact <br />model. <br />4111age <br />
