<br />Policy 15. 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 <br />frame for annexation may vary, annexation should occur as land transitions <br />from urbanizable to urban. (page II-C-5) <br /> <br />The following policy from the Residential Element of the Metro Plan is also applicable: <br /> <br />Policy A.2 Residentially designated land within the UGB should be zoned consistent with <br />the Metro Plan, and applicable plans and policies; however, existing <br />agricultural zoning may be continued within the area between the city limits <br />and UGB until rezoned for urban uses. <br /> <br />The Metro Plan designates the annexation area as appropriate for low density residential <br />use. The River Road - Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan (RR/SC UFP) is the adopted <br />refinement plan for the subject property, which also designates the area for low density <br />residential use. The property is zoned AG Agricultural with /UL Urbanizable Land and <br />/WR Water Resources Conservation overlays. The /UL overlay will be automatically <br />removed from the property following annexation approval. The base zoning of AG <br />Agricultural and the /WR Water Resources Conservation overlay will remain <br /> <br />Regarding applicable policies of the RR/SC UFP, the subject property is not located within <br />an identified subarea. The proposed annexation does not appear to conflict with any of <br />the Land Use Policies or Residential Policies. The “Public Facilities and Services Element” <br />policies of the RR/SC UFP are directed at local government; however, the premise of <br />these policies (regarding the provision of urban services) is the assumption that the <br />properties within the UGB will be annexed. <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 />Based on the findings above, the proposal is consistent with the applicable policies of the <br />Metro Plan and RR/SC UFP refinement plan. <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 <br />orderly, efficient, and timely manner. <br />Complies Findings: Consistent with this criterion, the proposed annexation will result in a <br />boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services can be <br /> <br />provided in an orderly, efficient, and timely manner as detailed below: <br />YES NO <br /> <br />Wastewater <br />Wastewater service is available in River Loop 1 via an 8-inch main line which <br />demonstrates that service is available to the site. In the event of future improvements, <br />evaluation of service connections will occur. <br />K & J Homes, LLC (A 21-7) June 2021 Page 2 <br /> <br />
