| 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 Ford Annexation, Contiguous and Adjoining the Present Boundaries and Establishing an I-1, Light Industrial Zoning District, Subject to all Planning Requirements. |
| BACKGROUND: |
Ordinance First Reading: 4/0 (Absent: Carsrud, Jerred, & Mayor Opseth)
Ordinance Second Reading: 7/0
The City has received a petition to annex 9.47 acres of land from the sole property owner. The property is located at the corner of Garner Lake Road and Butler Spaeth Road on the north side and is currently zoned I-1, Light Industrial Zoning, within the County. The property is currently vacant, but is planned for future industrial development. The landowner is requesting I-1, Light Industrial Zoning with the annexation. A map of the area has been attached as Exhibit “A”. There are no statutes or ordinances that regulate the shape or size of an area to be annexed.
City Council will make the final zoning determination at the time of annexation. The County has already granted the City jurisdiction of this property according to State Statutes.
This area is a logical extension of the City limits and the property is serviceable by City water, sanitary sewer, and electrical service. The Comprehensive Plan envisions the future land use to be commercial/mixed use. The existing land use pattern in the area supports additional commercial or industrial development as it is not adjacent to residential property. There is no significant City investment required in support of this 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 Ford Annexation, Contiguous and Adjoining the Present Boundaries and Establishing an I-1, Light Industrial Zoning District, Subject to all Planning Requirements on Third and Final Reading.
