Referred To The People By The City Council

Measure Proposing Annexation of 3.01 Acres of Property Into Salem

Question: Should the Property located east of Lancaster Drive NE and south of Phipps Lane NE area be annexed?

Summary: Approval of this measure would annex 3.01 acres of Property located east of Lancaster Drive NE and south of Phipps Lane NE area to the City of Salem. The Property is within the Urban Growth Boundary. Upon annexation, the Property would be zoned City of Salem RM1 (Multiple Family Residential).

Explanatory Statement

If approved, this measure would result in annexation of 3.01 acres of territory (the Territory) to the City of Salem.

The Territory is located east of Lancaster Drive NE and south of Phipps Lane NE area and designated in the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan as “Multi-Family Residential.” Zoning of the Territory if annexed would be RM1 (Multiple Family Residential). The RM1 zone district generally allows residential uses, bed and breakfast establishments, residential care facilities (except homeless shelters), playgrounds and parks, public buildings, community or neighborhood club buildings, and child/adult care homes. This zoning designation allows a minimum density of 8 dwelling units per acre and a maximum density of 14 dwelling units per acre based on gross acreage. A complete description of uses in the RM1 zone district is available in Salem Revised Code (SRC) Chapter 148.

If annexed, the Territory is estimated to have the fiscal impact of creating an annual deficit to the City’s General Fund (in year 2005 dollars) of $2,929 based on development with an average density of 11 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.
