PURPOSE:
Piedmont Properties of NC, LLC has petitioned for annexation of their property located along at 1730 Youngs Mill Road. 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 to be developed as commercial / retail.
City water will be available by connecting to the 12-inch line located in Youngs Mill 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 available by connecting to the 24-inch line located in East Lee Street. 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 Alamance Station #54 and upon annexation will be served by Alamance Station #54 and City Station #57 on Mount Hope Church Road. For single unit response service will stay the same or decline. For multi-unit incidents, service should improve.
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 south.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Initial service will be absorbed in the budget; future services will have an incremental effect on future budgets.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Technical Review Committee (TRC) recommended this annexation to the Planning Board and to City Council. The Planning Board recommended this annexation at its April meeting on a vote of 6-0-2. Accordingly, it is recommended that on June 7, 2016, the City Council adopt a resolution calling a public hearing for June 21, 2016, on the annexation of the above-mentioned property to the City of Greensboro.
COMMITTEE ACTION: This item was referred to Council by the Infrastructure Committee.
