SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Board of Trustees has expressed great interest in future development proposals that might occur within the Town of Erie’s growth boundary, as identified on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan. Properties not annexed into the Town are not subject to the rules and regulations set forth in the Unified Development Code. The Town would like to extend its influence over these properties, by providing a streamlined process for these rural properties for annexation and initial zoning. The new AGH zone district will generally accommodate the existing agricultural uses found on these rural properties.
Creation of this new AGH zone district allows properties to annex into the Town while continuing with their existing uses. The current UDC zone district regulations do not contain some of the agricultural related uses found on the rural properties within the Town’s growth boundary. Creating this new AGH zone district with these new uses will allow for a more efficient process for annexation and initial zoning.
