Explanation
David Duncan has submitted a petition to the City of Gainesville for voluntary annexation of parcels 16146-002-000, 16148-004-000, 16148-005-000, 16166-000-000, a portion of 16148-006-000. Janie Beckham Dunc has submitted a petition to the City of Gainesville for voluntary annexation of parcels 16175-000-000 and 16147-000-000. Jeanette Nobles has submitted a petition to the City of Gainesville for voluntary annexation of parcel 16173-000-000.
Collectivelly these parcels are located south of SE Hawthorne Road and the City of Gainesville boundary, east of SE 27th Street and the City of Gainesville boundary, North of SE 12th Place, and west of parcel 16172-000-000.
In order to annex these parcels into the City limits, the owner must submit a petition to the City of Gainesville for voluntary annexation. Staff has reviewed the requirements of the the Municipal Annexation or Contraction Act (Chapter 171, Florida Statutes). This area meets the requirements of the Act and is appropriate for annexation.
Fiscal Note
The current taxable value of the seven (7) vacant parcels is approximately $211,600 and select parcels are being annexed with the intent of future development. The developer is proposing residential use for select parcels, which could potentially result in a greater taxable value and revenue from the fire assessment. The cost of providing municipal services has not been determined at this time, but will continue to be assessed as the development moves forward. Parcel 16147-000-000 has a single family residence, and the City reasonably anticipates extending urban services to the parcel without reducing services to existing city residents or increasing the millage rate.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) receive the petitions for annexation and make findings that it contains the signature of the property owners or authorized agents; 2) authorize the Mayor to provide notice to the Board of County Commissioners; and 3 ) authorize the City Attorney to prepare and the Clerk of the Commission to advertise ordinances relating to the annexation of the area, if appropriate.
