MEMORANDUM ICABARI~US COUNTY] ~I~ATH CAROtlNA TO: Frank Clifton, Cabarrus County Manager FROM: Jonathan B. Marshall, Planning Services Director DATE: March 9, 1998 SUBJECT: Kannapolis Request for Extraterritorial Jurisdiction The attached letter and resolution are a request from the City of Kannapolis for extension of extraterritorial jurisdiction in their Area I annexation. I have reviewed this request and am recommending that you consider a resolution, also attached, to grant this request. There are some concerns with granting this request, but the Kannapolis City Council and staff have made assurances that will address these concerns. Some of the issues that we have discussed include: 1) Protection of non-residential areas. Despite some statements to the contrary there are considerable non-residential districts within Area I. Kannapolis has indicated through their resolution and in conversation, however, that they will protect and possible increase the non-residential zoning. 2) Protection of the Wes[side Bypass corridor. The County currently protects the corridor of the Wes[side Bypass through the Thoroughfare Overlay Zone provisions of the Coun.ty Zoning Ordinance and has been doing so since 1988. Kannapolis staff has indicated that they have already made provisions in their zoning ordinance to continue to protect the planned road corridor. 3) Continuation of shared city/county services. The County currently provides building inspection and sediment and erosion control services in Area I. The resolution from the Kannapolis City Council indicates they will continue to contract for building inspection services. I have also included the continuation of sediment and erosion control services in the resolution from the Board of Commissioners agreeing to the extraterritorial jurisdiction extension.
