BACKGROUND:
This item was approved on First Reading at the November 8, 2018, City Commission Meeting.
Section 171.044, Florida Statutes, provides a procedure for voluntary annexation. Alley Farms LLC, as the owner of the parcel of land located at 4425 NW 71 Street, Coconut Creek, Florida, 33073, and two (2) adjacent parcels currently situated in unincorporated Broward County, has submitted a Petition for Voluntary Annexation of said properties into the City of Coconut Creek municipal boundaries. The Broward County Legislative Delegation has established a goal of annexing all unincorporated areas of the County into a suitable municipality. Such land is contiguous to the current boundaries of the City.
DISCUSSION:
The owner of the land, Alley Farms LLC, has met all of the requirements pursuant to Section 171.044, Florida Statutes, for voluntary annexation. As such, it desires to proceed with annexing the land into the City’s municipal boundaries.
It is important to note that no development plan is approved by this action, and the property will retain its Broward County zoning of A-1, Agricultural Estate. This permits one (1) dwelling unit per two (2) net acres of plot area. No development plan has been reviewed or approved for this parcel, and no additional density is assumed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has no objection to the voluntary annexation petition.
