MEASURE NO. 24-95 City of Jefferson Ballot Title: Referred to the People by the City Council Annexation of Terjeson Property, 22 Acres South of Riverwood Question: Shall Jefferson annex 22 acres located south of Riverwood Drive, west of Main Street, and north of Weddle Road? Summary: The owner (Terjeson) applied for annexation for tax lots 103W11DD02100, 103W11DD02200; and 103W1100100. The Planning Commission and City Council reviewed the proposal, found that it met the approval criteria in the Development Code, and thus submitted it for a vote. The area is within the Urban Growth Boundary, and designated for residential development in the Comprehensive Plan. If annexed, the land would be eligible for further development (construction of homes or other buildings) and subject to the Jefferson Development Code. The east 4.8 acres would be zoned Medium-Density Residential (minimum lot 6,000 square-feet, 8,000 square-feet for duplexes). The west 17.2 acres would be zoned Agriculture, allowing agricultural uses and residential uses (minimum lot 20,000 square-feet). Subdivision would require additional hearings and review. Other public or institutional uses could be allowed through a conditional use permit hearing. This area is partially within the floodplain, so future development would be required to be designed to prevent flooding new buildings and minimize impact on adjacent properties. If annexed, the land would be included in the City’s property tax. |
