Council annexes 1.7-acre parcel at Fortieth and Gage, approves rezoning to allow contractor office and parking
Summary
The council adopted an ordinance to annex a 1.7-acre unincorporated parcel at the southeast corner of SW Fortieth and Gage Boulevard after the owner consented; staff said the applicant intends to build a contractor office and parking.
The Topeka City Council on Aug. 19 voted to annex into the city a 1.7-acre parcel at the southeast corner of Southwest Fortieth Street and Gage Boulevard in unincorporated Shawnee County and approved associated rezoning so the owner may construct a contractor office and related parking.
Dan Warner, planning division director, presented the annexation case and said the property owner consented to annexation. "The applicant wishes to expand to the south and build a contractor office and parking," Warner said. The property is contiguous to the city limits, he said, and staff recommended approval.
Councilman Miller moved approval of the annexation ordinance and the council recorded nine affirmative votes; the motion carried. Warner noted a related rezoning case would be heard following the annexation action and the rezoning item was also on the Aug. 19 docket and approved by the governing body.
Staff said the rezoning will align the parcel—s municipal status and zoning to allow the proposed commercial/contractor use; site plan review and any building permits will follow city procedures. No conditions or amendments were imposed at the meeting.
