Annexation procedures are meant to facilitate the orderly expansion of the city and the efficient extension of public facilities and services. They are also intended to provide adequate public review and establish a system for measuring the physical, environmental, and related social impacts of a proposed annexation. [Ord. 93 § 5.20.1, 1987].

17.385.020 Initiation.

In accordance with state law, initiation of an annexation may be made by the petition of a property owner in the area proposed for annexation or by a majority vote of the city council. [Ord. 93 § 5.20.2, 1987].

17.385.030 Hearing.

Upon initiation of an annexation, the council shall set a date for a public hearing to be held before the planning commission in accordance with all provisions of Chapter 17.300 CBMC to determine whether the proposed annexation would comply with the comprehensive plan. [Ord. 93 § 5.20.3, 1987].

17.385.040 Decision.

The planning commission shall make a recommendation to the city council regarding the proposed annexation if findings of fact can be substantiated that it is in accordance with the comprehensive plan unless the plan and implementing ordinances do not control the annexation or substantial changes in conditions have occurred which render the comprehensive plan inapplicable to the annexation.

The council shall review this recommendation and affirm or change the decision or remand the matter back for further consideration. [Ord. 93 § 5.20.4, 1987].

17.385.050 Conditions.

The planning commission and council may impose special conditions deemed to be necessary to preserve any social, environmental, and physical impacts or to facilitate the provision of public facilities and services. [Ord. 93 § 5.20.5, 1987].

17.385.060 Zoning of annexed area.

Zoning regulations applicable to an area prior to its annexation shall continue to apply in accordance with ORS 227.310 unless at the time of annexation or at a subsequent time the city council places the annexed area in a zoning classification established by this title. The city council may, in the ordinance annexing the area to the city, place all or any part of the area in a zoning designation established by this title if notice required by the annexation proceedings includes a declaration of the council’s intention to so zone the property and if the council has received a report and recommendation from the planning commission for the appropriate zoning of the area. [Ord. 93 § 5.20.6, 1987].

17.385.070 Final action.

Upon a favorable determination under CBMC 17.385.040, the council may proceed with consideration of the proposed annexation in accordance with state law. [Ord. 93 § 5.20.7, 1987].
