MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 4, 2002
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Thomas Grimms, AICP, Senior Plarnrgr�
THROUGH: Russ Wagner, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Annexation and Rezoning Petition from Ricardo and Carmen Caballero
Case Number AR-01-07-01
Ordinances#2003-03 & #2003-04
ISSUE:
Should the City of Ocoee annex and initially zone the above referenced property by
adopting Ordinance of annexation 2003-03 & Ordinance of initial rezoning 2003-04?
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located approximately 350 feet east of the intersection of Ocoee-
Apopka Road and Silver Star Road on the north side of Silver Star Road. The 1.77 acre
parcel is vacant and partially tree-covered.
The subject property is designated "Commercial" on the Ocoee Future Land Use Map.
The applicant has requested an Ocoee zoning classification of C-2, Community
Commercial District. The requested zoning would be consistent with the above
referenced land use designation.
CONSISTENCY WITH STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS:
With respect to State annexation criteria, Chapter 171.044 of the Florida Statutes grants
municipalities the authority to annex contiguous, compact, non-circuitous territory so
long as it does not create an enclave. The requested annexation is an enclave. The
Legislature recognizes that enclaves can create significant problems in planning, growth
management, and service delivery, and therefore declares that it is the policy of the state
to eliminate enclaves. The state encourages municipalities to annex an enclave by
interlocal agreement with the county having jurisdiction of the enclave. A Joint Planning
Area Agreement between Orange County and the City of Ocoee was executed in 1994,
which allows for the annexation of enclaves without challenge by the County per Section
6.D. of the Agreement. The subject property is located within the Ocoee-Orange County
