Referred To The People By The City Council

Measure Proposing Annexation of 1.0 Acres of Property Into Salem

Question: Should the Property located at 2884 Glen Creek Road NW be annexed?

Summary: Approval of this measure would annex 1.0 acres of Property located at 2884 Glen Creek Road NW to the City of Salem. The Property is within the Urban Growth Boundary. Upon annexation, the Property would be zoned City of Salem RS (Single Family Residential).

Explanatory Statement

If approved, this measure would result in annexation of 1.0 acres of territory (the Territory) to the City of Salem.

The Territory is located at 2884 Glen Creek Road NW and designated in the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan as “Single Family Residential.” Zoning of the Territory if annexed would be RS (Single Family Residential). The RS zone district generally allows residential uses, select agricultural uses, playgrounds and parks, public buildings and child/adult care homes. The minimum lot size for single family dwellings is 4,000 square feet. This zoning designation allows a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre, assuming an allowance for public utilities and infrastructure. A complete description of uses in the RS zone district is available in Salem Revised Code (SRC) Chapter 146.

If annexed, the Territory is estimated to have the fiscal impact of creating an annual surplus to the City’s General Fund (in year 2005 dollars) of $889 based on development with an average density of 5 dwelling units per acre.

Adequate public facilities exist to serve the Territory, in accordance with the city’s adopted budget, master plans, Capital Improvement Plan and urban growth management process as set forth in SRC Chapter 66.

Additional information regarding the proposed annexation and zoning is available for public review at the Salem City Hall, Department of Community Development, Room 305, 555 Liberty Street SE, Salem, Oregon and on the City’s web site www.cityofsalem.net.
