| SUBJECT: |
| An Ordinance Approving and Authorizing the Extension of the Boundaries of the City of Gillette, Wyoming, and Annexation of a Tract of Land Known as the Westover Road - Skyline Drive Annexation Contiguous and Adjoining the Present Boundaries and Establishing a C-1, General Commercial Zoning District, Subject to all Planning Requirements. |
| BACKGROUND: |
Ordinance first reading: 6/0
The property owners have petitioned the City to annex 2.58 acres into the City limits for the purpose of future development. The Annexation Plat also includes City property and Right-of-Way controlled by Campbell County and the Wyoming Department of Transportation, bringing the total land area included in the annexation to 5.23 acres.
The land is located at the intersection of Skyline Drive and Westover Road on the east side just south of I-90. The access will be provided by the existing Westover Road. The owners are planning to sell the property for the development of a McDonald’s restaurant. Any future development will be reviewed by the City and shall meet City standards. With official County authorization, the City may review requests for new development, issue permits, and conduct inspections for any construction on the land, prior to the annexation being officially approved.
This area is a logical extension of the City limits and property will be serviceable. The proposed zoning of the area is C-1, General Commercial Zoning District. The adopted Comprehensive Plan shows the future land use of this area as Mixed Use 3 which includes both commercial and industrial development. Further commercial development fits the existing land use pattern near the interstate and this vicinity. The City Council will make the final zoning determination at the time of annexation. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
|
I move for Approval of an Ordinance Approving and Authorizing the Extension of the Boundaries of the City of Gillette, Wyoming, and Annexation of a Tract of Land Known as the Westover Road - Skyline Drive Annexation Contiguous and Adjoining the Present Boundaries and Establishing a C-1, General Commercial Zoning District, Subject to all Planning Requirements on second reading.
