The Territory is located at north of Ward Court NE and west of Ward Drive NE (4422 -4424 Remington Place NE Private Way) and designated in the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan as “Multi-Family Residential.” Zoning of the Territory if annexed would be RM2 (Multiple Family Residential). The RM2 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 12 dwelling units per acre and a maximum density of 28 dwelling units per acre, assuming an allowance for public utilities and infra-structure. A complete description of uses in the RM2 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 $474 based on development with an average density of 12.6 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.
