Annexation and Initial Zoning, Annexation and Zoning Ordinances, and Reasoned Statements of Relevant Criteria and Standards, Approximately 196 acres of City-owned parcels: For consideration is the application to annex and zone approximately 196 acres consisting of parcels owned by the City of Idaho Falls. Community Development Staff has worked with Public Works staff to identify and legally describe all City-owned property which is contiguous to existing City limits so the annexation documents could be presented to the Council. Proposed zones are recommended based on adjacent zoning of other properties, existing uses on the parcels, and the Comprehensive Plan map and policies. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this application at its January 8, 2019 meeting and recommended approval by unanimous vote. Staff concurs with this recommendation. In some cases with private development, applications that have gone more than one year have been sent back through staff review and to a new recommendation by Planning and Zoning. However, in this case, staff has already re-reviewed everything multiple times and with City-owned parcels there is no proposed development and a new recommendation did not seem necessary. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS (in sequential order): a. Approve the Ordinance annexing 196 acres of City-owned parcels under a suspension of the rules requiring three complete and separate readings and request that it be read by title and published by summary (or consider the Ordinance on the first reading and that it be read by title, or reject the Ordinance). b. Approve the Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for the annexation of 196 acres of City-owned parcels and give authorization for the Mayor to execute the necessary documents. c. Assign a Comprehensive Plan Designation of Low Density, Parks and Recreation, and Public Facilities and Open Space, and approve the Ordinance establishing the initial zoning for 196 acres of City-owned parcels under a suspension of the rules requiring three complete and separate readings and request that it be read by title and published by summary that the City limits documents be amended to include the area annexed herewith, and that the City Planner be instructed to reflect said annexation, amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, and initial zoning on the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Maps located in the Planning office. d. Approve the Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for the Initial Zoning for 196 acres of City-owned parcels and give authorization for the Mayor to execute the necessary documents.
