PITZER ANNEXATION (ANX-4-97)

APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
The provisions of 171.044(1) Florida Statutes which states "The owner or owners of real
property in an unincorporated area of a county which is contiguous to a municipality and
reasonably compact may petition the governing body of a said municipality that said
property be annexed to the municipality."
The Legislature recognizes that enclaves can create significant problems in planning,
growth management, and service delivery, and therefore declares that it is the policy of the
State to eliminate enclaves [ref 171.046(1) F.S.].
Sec. 20-57 of the city Code which states in part "The planning and zoning board. . . .to
act on measures affecting the present and future movement of traffic, the segregation of
residential and business districts and the convenience and safety of persons and property in
any way dependent on city planning and zoning,"
The City has expressed an interest in annexation in the past (ref 8-14-95 City Commission
meeting).
