Mr. McDonald explained that property owners within the West Pasco
area proposed for annexation recently submitted a petition requesting
annexation to the City. The petition was reviewed by the County
Assessor and was determined to be sufficient to constitute a legally

The proposed ordinance would cause the property in question to be
annexed to the City subject to the following conditions: The
Comprehensive Plan of the City will continue to be applicable to the
area; the annexation area will not assume any existing bonded
indebtedness; the area will be assigned to Voting District #5.

The proposed zoning ordinance would designate the annexation area as
R-S-12, with a small section zoned "O" office on the corner of Court
Street and Road 44, as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Ms. Francik asked Mr. McDonald if the criteria for the Comprehensive
Plan that calls for clustering businesses and retail around major
intersections was being met?
Mr. McDonald explained that Court Street and Road 44 are both major
streets in the City and the small section zoned "O" office is not
extended very far past the intersection area.
Mr. Strode pointed out that on both proposed ordinances where it
reads, "Beginning at a point on the East. ." should probably read as
"West".
Mr. McDonald stated this would be corrected on both ordinances.
