Resolution No. approving annexation request from Genesis Equities Land Holding LLC for property east of Partners Avenue and south of Marion Airport Road, Marion, Iowa. Exhibits: Annexation Application Synopsis: This is the approval of a voluntary annexation petition for two properties south of Marion Airport Road (See Location Map). The annexation totals 66.16 acres with no associated right-of-way. On April 19 th the City Council received the annexation application and directed staff to proceed with the 100% voluntary petition. Since both properties included in this annexation are voluntary AND outside of the 2-mile review boundary of other communities, the annexation schedule and notification requirements are significantly less than previous annexation requests that have come before the City Council. Should the Council vote favorably on this request, the annexation will be recorded with the Linn County Recorder and a copy filed with the Secretary of State to finalize the process.

Background: In 2015, the Marion Airport runway and facility, along with the property to the east, was annexed into the City. Shortly after the annexation being complete, a Future Land Use Map amendment was approved, changing Business Park/Office to Light Industrial. At that same time, the rezoning was also changed from Rural Restricted, A-1 to Restricted Industrial, I-1. A portion of the property included within the request is currently located within Linn County s jurisdiction. The applicant submitted a 100% voluntary annexation application and that process for consideration for approval is presently underway. The anticipated completion for the annexation into the City is mid-june. Comprehensive Plan / Future Land Use Map Amendment Request: A portion of the 2015 approved amendment will remain, while a portion is being proposed to change to Corridor Commercial. The applicant, Genesis Equities Land Holdings, LLC, is seeking approval of an amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Marion Comprehensive Plan.

Rezoning Request: Genesis Equities Land Holdings, LLC and LuxAir Aviation, LLC have submitted a rezoning request which is in-line with their Comprehensive Plan amendment request. They are seeking to rezone the property from Restricted Industrial, I-1 to General Commercial, C-3 and from Linn County Agriculture to Restricted Industrial, I-1 and General Commercial, C-3. The existing Restricted Industrial, I-1 zoning designation that the airport and adjacent facilities currently are classified was established with the 2015 rezoning of the property after it was annexed into the City. In the future there will be zoning specific to the airport. Houseal Lavigne Associates was hired by the City, via a grant match with the Iowa DOT, to prepare a Marion Land Use Plan and Zoning Code Update for the Marion Airport. We have received a draft plan of the Existing Conditions Report. A final Marion Land Use Plan and Zoning Code Update plan is anticipated to be completed by the end of summer 2018. Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission s recommendation to City Council will be included within the staff report regarding the request. Staff recommends APPROVAL of setting the date for the public hearing for June 21, 2018 regarding the comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning request.
