| 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 Bobcat Annexation, Contiguous and Adjoining the Present Boundaries and Establishing a C-1, General Commercial Zoning District. |
| BACKGROUND: |
Ordinance first reading: 6/0 (Councilman Carsrud absent)
The property owner has petitioned the City to annex 3.23 acres into City limits for the purpose of obtaining City water and sanitary sewer.
The land is located along Highway 59. The property is adjacent to the current City boundaries to the north and east. Previously, the site housed Waste Connections, a solid waste handling company. The owner desires to remodel the existing building and bring City water and sanitary sewer to the property. This will enable the owner to operate a Bobcat rental, repair and service center. Any future development or construction will be reviewed by the City and shall meet City standards. The County has agreed to allow the City to issue all permits and conduct all inspections for any construction on the land, prior to the annexation being officially approved.
This area is a logical extension of City limits and will be serviceable. The proposed zoning of the property is a C-1, General Commercial Zoning District. The adopted Comprehensive Plan shows the area as a commercial/residential mixed use area. The proposed land use fits the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The existing development pattern along the west side of Highway 59 also supports this proposal. 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 Bobcat Annexation, Contiguous and Adjoining the Present Boundaries and Establishing a C-1, General Commercial Zoning District, Subject to all Planning Requirements on second reading.
