The petitioned property contains 0.297 acre and is developed with a commercial structure (Figures 3 and 4). 2. The petitioned property has: • No registered voters (Certificate of Registrar of Voters dated September 17, 2024); • The petitioned property has an assessed value of $23,975. Non-resident property owner representing 100% of the assessed value of the petitioned property signed the Annexation Petition. (Certificate of Ownership and Certificate of Ownership and Assessed Valuation dated September 13, 2024). 3. The petitioned property is 100% contiguous with the City’s corporate limits. 4. The subject property is zoned by the Parish as NC-2 Neighborhood Commercial (Figure 5). The applicant proposes to establish City zoning as C-2 Neighborhood Commercial. 5. C-2 allows similar uses as NC-2; it does not allow more intense uses. 6. For the purpose of the Sales Tax Enhancement Plan, the property is developed commercial. The Parish needs to concur on this annexation; request for concurrence was made on September 26, 2024; the property is 100% contiguous with City jurisdictional properties. PC & ZC Page 1 of 6 A24-07 Distributed October 9, 2024 Prepared by T Alexander 7. The subject property is located on a major commercial artery – Robert Boulevard. 8. Immediately adjacent properties on Robert Blvd are zoned with City zoning districts C-2 and A-6 (Figures 1 and 5). 9. C-2 Neighborhood Commercial is appropriate for this location because of its located on a major road and proximity to other properties with the same commercial zoning. 10. City water services are immediately adjacent to the subject property (Figure 6). City sewer services are more than 300 feet away from any portion of this property; therefore, the property owner will continue to use the existing sewer treatment plant until the City’s services are within 300 feet, at which time, the property owner will be required to connect. 11. The subject property is in Flood Zone X with an approximate ground elevation of 19.0 feet. Annexing this property will not impact the City’s FEMA Community Rating. 12. The Planning Department finds the annexation is reasonable for the following reasons: • Configuration of municipal boundaries to fill in gaps, follow natural boundaries • Supported by the City’s Comprehensive Plan RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department finds the annexation and zoning requests meet applicable requirements and are appropriate.
