Land within the UGB may be converted from urbanizable to urban only <br />through annexation to a city when it is found that: <br /> a. A minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be provided to the area <br />in an orderly and efficient manner. <br /> b. There will be a logical area and time within which to deliver urban services and <br />facilities. Conversion of urbanizable land to urban shall also be consistent with the <br />Metro Plan. (page II-C-4) <br /> <br />Policy 10. Annexation to a city through normal processes shall continue to be the <br />highest priority. (page II-C-4). <br /> <br />Policy 16. Ultimately, land within the UGB shall be annexed to a city and provided with <br />the required minimum level of urban facilities and services. While the time frame for <br />annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions from urbanizable to <br />urban. (page II-C-5) <br /> <br />The Metro Plan designates the annexation area as appropriate for commercial uses. <br /> <br />The Willakenzie Area Refinement Plan (WAP) is the adopted refinement plan for the <br />subject property and also designates the area for commercial uses. The subject property <br />is currently zoned C-1/UL Neighborhood Commercial with Urbanizable Land overlay. <br />Upon annexation, the /UL overlay will automatically be removed. Following annexation, <br />the applicant has indicated that they will submit a request for rezoning of the subject <br />property to GO General Office, which is one of four commercial categories. <br /> <br />With regard to applicable policies of the WAP, the subject property is within the <br />-relevant <br />policies, including clarification about why certain policies are not applicable. Staff <br />co <br /> <br />As previously discussed in this subsection, and further detailed under subsection (3) <br />below, the proposed annexation is consistent with Metro Plan growth management <br />policies and can be served by the minimum level of key urban services. The annexation <br />procedures beginning at EC 9.7800 are consistent with State law and therefore, as found <br />throughout this report, the annexation is consistent with State law. <br /> <br />EC 9.7825(3) The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key <br />urban facilities and services, as defined in the Metro Plan, can be provided in an orderly, <br />efficient, and timely manner. <br /> <br /> <br />Complies Findings: The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level <br />of key urban facilities and services can be provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely <br />YES NO <br />manner as detailed below: <br /> <br />Van Slyke (A 14-2) July 2014 Page 2 <br />
