This report recommends the approval of the proposed annexation of 5 acres generally bounded along the Barko Lane alignment on the north, Faull Drive alignment on the south, 41st Drive on the east and 43rd Avenue on the west.

THE REQUEST:

This proposed annexation area is a portion of the area generally bounded by the Barko Lane alignment on the north, Faull Drive alignment on the south, 41st Drive on the east and 43rd Avenue on the west. The applicant is planning to rezone the site to C-2 with a special permit for a self storage facility. The annexation analysis is based on the applicant's desire to potentially construct a 41,960 square foot self storage facility with a 1,300 square foot living quarter as an accessory use. The applicant must receive City Council approval of the rezoning request before the property can be developed as proposed. The applicant is annexing to obtain City services.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION:

I.	Water and Sewer Service

	Water and sewer capacity are very limited in this area, however, there is water capacity available for developments with extremely limited water use. A 12-inch water main is located adjacent to the site in 43rd Avenue that may serve the parcel pending capacity review and approval. A sewer capacity review is required to verify that the proposed development characteristics do not breach the wastewater flow limits agreed to in the Anthem Wholesale/Wastewater Service Agreement. The City is currently allowing developments with extremely low wastewater generation access to the City’s wastewater system. However, if the proposed development has high wastewater generation the parcel may not be able to be served by existing infrastructure. Significant infrastructure improvements may be required in order to serve this parcel. There are currently no funds available from the City to design and construct these facilities. Design and construction of any needed facilities will be the responsibility of the developer.
