Impact Statement
Purpose of Proposed Legislation and Background Information
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.
Financial and Budgetary Impacts
Financial implication will be minimal. No connections to City services have been made at this time. Additional permitting for utility connections will be required once annexation is complete. The annexation will be reflected on Portland tax rolls upon annexation.
Economic and Real Estate Development 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. No issues have been raised by partner bureaus or external agencies.
Community Impacts and Community Involvement
This annexation request has followed procedural requirements for an "expedited process for minor boundary changes" (BCP-ENB-1 .02) and METRO Code Section 3.09.045. Interested service providing agencies and governmental agencies have received notice of the proposed annexation as have private property owners within 100 feet of the proposed annexation. Limited inquiry has been returned in response to public notice, and no formal objection has been received.
100% Renewable Goal
Not applicable.

Financial and budget analysis
Analysis provided by City Budget Office
This annexation has minimal direct fiscal impact on the City. The property is a single residential parcel requesting urban services located within the City's Urban Services Boundary. The action brings the property onto the City tax roll and will generate modest annual City property tax revenue.
