Board recommends shading county parcels, using opt‑in annex approach rather than automatic overlay
Summary
Members agreed to visually distinguish county-owned parcels on the overlay map and treat county property as an opt‑in/annex provision so property owners only accept overlay standards if they choose to come into the city or accept service agreements.
During the May 7 workshop the board discussed whether county parcels and conservation lands should be inside the overlay. Several members emphasized caution about appearing to impose city standards on county land that the city does not control.
One member suggested visually shading county properties and adding an annex-style provision: the overlay standards would apply if a parcel or owner agreed to annex or accept service agreements. "That way, we just say, hey. If you come in, you get this. But until you come in, you don't..." a member said, describing the opt-in approach. The board also discussed coordinating with the county to align standards where possible and to include incentives for county owners who agree to participate.
