Fort Walton Beach Council agenda — 11-10-2009 - regular — reading text

considering whether to annex a particular parcel of property, the City shall consider whether, and to the extent which, the following standards for annexation have been met, in addition to those requirements of Florida Statutes stated above: The proposed annexation will impact City services. The proposed annexation is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The future land use map designation and zoning category as proposed, is appropriate. The proposed or existing development, if any, is consistent with City regulations. The terms of the proposed annexation agreement, if any, promotes the City' s comprehensive plan. If development is to be initiated prior to the effective date of the annexation and where such development is for a use other than a detached single family dwelling, then requisite site plans, plats, and engineering plans shall be submitted together with the petition or annexation agreement. 31-  The voluntary annexation of property by the City Council shall not be effective until the applicable connection and impact fees have been paid to the City. The following are Staff responses to the Annexation Criteria: 1. Impact on Urban Services Utilities The City has an eight -inch ( 8 ") sewer line available along Wedgewood Lane NE and along Fairway Avenue NE that can serve the applicants' property. There is an existing 4" stub -out from SSMH No. 1414 that cannot be used, so a new 4" tap will be required at a location specified by the applicant. The appropriate sewer impact and connection fees shall apply and be paid prior to the City making the sewer tap. The City can also provide potable water service from an available 6" water main along the north side of Wedgewood Lane NE or the west side of Fairway Avenue NE. The applicant is currently connected to Okaloosa County' s water system but a new 3 a/ " water tap and meter shall be installed by the City upon payment of the required water connection and impact fees. The City also provides mandatory garbage and pickup and has trash and waste recycling services available. Traffic Circulation The request site has 150 feet of frontage along Wedgewood Lane NE which collects onto Country Club Avenue NE. The property contains an existing single family residence, so no additional trips will be generated from the property. Fire/Police The Ocean Fire District the Okaloosa County Sheriff' s City- Wright and Department currently provide public safety services in the form of fire and police protection, respectively. Upon annexation, the Ocean City- Wright Fire District would be the first responder per mutual aid agreement between fire protection service providers, with an approximate response time of less than three ( 3) minutes. Service will also be provided by the City' s Police Department whose average response time was last reported as 3 minutes 39 seconds city -wide. 2. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan The annexation request must be reviewed for consistency with the various Intergovernmental Coordination and Future Land Use Element' s Objectives and 32- Policies in the City' s Comprehensive Plan. Those objectives and policies are listed below: OBJECTIVE G.6 — THE CITY WILL CONSIDER ANNEXING ON A CASE -BY -CASE BASIS THE PROPERTIES OF THOSE OWNERS WHO WISH TO VOLUNTARILY BECOME PART OF THE CITY AND ARE EITHER ENCLAVES WITHIN THE CITY LIMIT BOUNDARY OR CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF FORT WALTON BEACH.

Future Land Use Map Designation and Zoning Category. Upon annexation, the City will need to designate a land use category on the City' s Future Land Use Map and zone the property a City zoning district. Since the property is currently zoned Okaloosa County RUS, the conversion table above indicates that the City will designate the property LDR on the FLUM and zone it R -1 or R -1 A District. The area around the request site is zoned R -1 / R -1 A. Florida Statutes allow Small Scale FLUM amendments for residential densities less than 10 dwelling units per acre density or on sites less than 10 acres in area. Since LDR and R -lA permits a maximum density of 5. 45 dwelling units per acre, the 34-  City will be able to process a small scale amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan. An ordinance zoning the property will also be required. Zoning analysis: The request site is developed. Table 1 below indicates existing land use and zoning for properties adjacent to the request site. Map Exhibits B -D show existing zoning, future land use and existing land use in the area surrounding the request. The table also shows that lands in the City adjacent to the request are exclusively single family residential, which is consistent with the land use designations and zoning in this portion of the Kenwood Neighborhood, LDR and R -1 A, respectively.
