PURPOSE:
Koury Ventures Limited Partnership has petitioned for annexation of their property located at 6029 YY West Gate City Boulevard. In order to consider the annexation covered by this petition, the City Council must set a public hearing.
BACKGROUND:
This property is within the Tier 1 Growth Area (2013-2019) on the Growth Strategy Map in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use for this site is multifamily.
City water will be available by either connecting to the 16-inch line located in West Gate City Boulevard or the 12-inch line in Guilford College Road. In order for this site to be served with water, the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with extending and connecting to the public line.
City sanitary sewer service will be available by connecting to the 8-inch outfall located approximately 2,700 feet to the south of the site. In order for this site to be served with sanitary sewer, the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with extending and connecting to the public line.
The City’s Fire Department notes that this site is currently served by Pinecroft-Sedgefield Station #23 on Mackay Road (northwest) and upon annexation will continue to be served by Pinecroft-Sedgefield Station #23 (via contract) and City Station #10 on West Gate City Boulevard (north). Service should remain the same for single unit incidents and service should improve for multi-unit responses.
The Police Department can provide service with little difficulty.
Provision of other City services will involve a travel distance almost equal to that necessary to provide service to the previously-annexed property located to the east, north and west.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Initial service will be absorbed in the budget; future services will have an incremental effect on future budgets, including an estimated $2,398 dollars per year for police personnel and equipment.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Technical Review Committee (TRC) recommended this annexation to the Planning Board and to City Council. The Planning Board will hear and make a recommendation on this item at their June 20, 2018 meeting.
Accordingly, it is recommended that on June 19, 2018, the City Council adopt a resolution calling a public hearing for July 17, 2018, on the annexation of the above-mentioned property to the City of Greensboro.
