ANNEXATION 2018-1: INITIAL PETITION FOR 50TH AVENUE/OCEAN BEACH HIGHWAY AREA
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Preserve and enhance neighborhoods
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Dan Ragan (DPR Enterprises WA, LLC) submitted a Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings to the City of Longview Community Development Department on April 4, 2018. The area proposed to be annexed consists of 1 tax parcel and is approximately 3.49 acres in size. The proposed annexation area includes 1 single-family home. The total valuation of the area is approximately $140,220.
In order to avoid an irregular city boundary, staff is recommending that one additional property be added to the annexation area. This recommendation is given in the attached staff report. A map showing the initial annexation area and the proposed expansion area is also attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to: 1.) accept the proposed annexation request plus one additional property; 2.) transmit the annexation request to the City Planning Commission for a recommendation on the zoning designation for the subject properties; 3.) require the assumption of any existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed; and 4.) direct staff to coordinate with the applicant in preparing the 60% petition to be circulated by the property owner(s).
