Bonaparte, Jr., City Manager SUBJECT: Annexation of 3.83 acres with a project address of 3109 Ohio Avenue; Owners: John A. Casavant and Catherine S. Casavant STRATEGIC PRIORITIES: ❑ Unify Downtown & the Waterfront ❑ Promote the City's Distinct Culture ❑ Update Regulatory Framework ❑ Redevelop and Revitalize Disadvantaged Communities SYNOPSIS: A request by the property owners, John A. Casavant and Catherine S. Casavant to voluntarily annex 3.83 acres located at 3109 Ohio Avenue has been received. The applicant is proposing one single family home. FISCALISTAFFING STATEMENT: According to the Property Appraiser's records the subject property is vacant. Based on the 2019 property tax roll of Seminole County, the subject parcel has a total assessed value of $99,174. The total tax bill for the subject parcel in 2019 was $1,126.63. If annexed, the property would be assessed the City's millage rate and generate an estimated $726 in ad valorem taxes. Under existing conditions the municipal costs will be minimal, while tax revenue would increase by $726, however, upon annexation it is the applicant's intent to develop one single family structure which will have an impact on public facilities and services. BACKGROUND: The above referenced property is located in unincorporated Seminole County and is on the east side of Ohio Avenue and approximately 303 feet south of Onora Street and 1,687 feet north of Marquette Avenue. The subject parcel also fronts Golden Lake. Existing Use Orchard/Groves/Citrus Proposed Use Single Family Structure Parcel Number 08-20-31-0050-0050-0000 Parcel Size 3.83 Acres Existing Future Land Use Designation (County) SE, Suburban Estate Proposed Future Land Use Designation (City) SE, Suburban Estate Existing Zoning (Count) A-1, Agriculture Proposed Zoning (Cit) I A-1, Agriculture Upon annexation, the property will be in City Commission District 1. Staff has reviewed the request for annexation and found the request to meet the criteria set forth in Section 171.044, Florida Statutes, relating to voluntary annexations. The property boundaries are contiguous to the City's boundary and are reasonably compact. The proposed annexation does not create a new enclave. There is no sewer available. Septic systems will be required through Seminole County. Water can be provided from Ohio Avenue at a cost to the customer. The developer is required to install all utility lines per the utility manual requirements at their cost. The proposed project is located within Sub -Area 6 of the 2015 Sanford/Seminole County Joint Planning Agreement. No further medium density residential or industrial future land use designation shall be approved within this area. However, target industry development consistent with the Seminole Way initiative may be considered if compatible with nearby single-family development. Heights of multi -family buildings on property with an existing medium density future land use designation must be compatible with single-family units in the area. The County and City shall ensure that a parcel zoned for single family use is protected from adjacent multi- family development by a setback of at least fifty (50) feet for one story buildings and at least one hundred (100) feet for buildings of two or more stories. A one story multi -family development shall also install a buffer of twenty-five (25) feet in width and a two or more story multi -family development shall install a buffer of at least fifty (50) feet in width. LEGAL REVIEW: The City Attorney has reviewed and determined that the annexation, as implemented, would comply with controlling State law and has prepared the Ordinance. The City Attorney has also advised that the City should consider that agreements, such as pre -annexation agreements, should be considered by the City when the City desires that certain development parameters be in effect upon the property being annexed into the City. Otherwise, the provisions of Section 171.062(2), Florida Statutes, relating to the effects of annexations will apply which provision states as follows: If the area annexed was subject to a county land use plan and county zoning or subdivision regulations, these regulations remain in full force and effect until the municipality adopts a comprehensive plan amendment that includes the annexed area. Thus, in order for the City to control development parameters pertaining to property to be annexed, binding agreements must be in place prior to the property being annexed. The City Commission approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 4558 on July 27, 2020. The City Clerk published notice of the 2nd Public Hearing in the Sanford Herald on August 2, 2020. RECOMMENDATION: It is staff's recommendation that the City Commission adopt Ordinance No. 4558. SUGGESTED MOTION: "I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4558." Attachments: Ordinance No. 4558 Exhibit "A"
