Purpose & background

The property owner at 5048 SW Hilltop Lane has submitted a petition to annex their property into the city for the purpose of connecting to City sewer. The owner recently filed permits with Portland Permitting & Development (PP&D) the with the intent to construct a single-family residence on the site. Upon contacting the City of Portland to inquire about utility connections, the owner was informed by BPS staff that the property must be annexed into the City to receive urban services, per City of Portland Comprehensive Plan Policy 8.11. The property owner submitted a sewer connection permit application to PP&D prior to being notified of the annexation requirement. The City of Portland is allowing the building permitting process to continue concurrent with the City annexation petition. Upon annexation, the property will retain its R20 and the "z" natural resources overlay zones.

Economic & real estate impacts

There are no additional economic or real estate development impacts to the proposed annexation beyond the likely construction of a single-family residence on the annexed property. In accordance with the City of Portland legislative process for annexations, property owners within 100 feet of the subject property were notified 45 days prior to Council hearing date and given the opportunity to either comment prior to or at the hearing. More specifically:There are no business development projects that will be affected by the single property annexations.There will be no impacts on business competitiveness, job growth, affordability, costs of goods, or household income.There will be no impact on real estate project development feasibility.There will be no potential adverse impacts from this annexation, as the property is located with Portland's Urban Service Boundary.
