Cone/Breeden Annexation and Rezoning--Mayor Keller said that at the last Committee-of-the-Whole meeting discussion was held on the possibility of separating the annexation and re- zoning issues for the Council's consideration on February 28. Mr. Saul responded he had discussed this issue with the City Attorney's office and there was no impediment to segre- gating the two items. Mr. Long said ordinarily the Council would consider an annexation issue months prior to making a rezoning decision and that it made sense to him to deal with an annexation first since there would be no need for rezoning if the property were not annexed. He made the distinction that in considering an annexation, it is a political and ad- ministrative matter in which the council can act and accept public hearing in any way it wishes; however, in a rezoning issue, Council would be considering proposals and making a determination of recommendations presented to it operating under the quasi-judicial Fasano proceedings. Mr. Haws indi- cated he agreed to having these two issues as separate items for discussion. Mr. Bradley said he felt the two issues should be discussed, separated by a period of time, with the Boundary Commission approval of the annexation and then Council consideration of rezoning the issue Mr. Saul said he felt the matter as presented to the Council is appropriate and that, in terms of staff time, it makes sense, is more equitable, and more cost effective to all participants to go ahead to consider the items as proposed. Mr. Porter said this rezoning request has a PUD plan with various stages of development and that the present land is zoned as agricultural in the county, which is not in the concept for its use within the city. He said when the property is annexed, the city needs to know how the property will be used when it's annexed. Therefore, he was in favor of considering both the annex and rezoning during the same meeting. e Ms. Smith indicated she would abstain from discussion and voting on this matter, both at the Committee-of-the-Whole meeting and the Council meeting. 2/28/77--25 "I
