RE:              Calculations for Z-04-04-07 Protest Petition

The protest petitions filed in the City Clerk’s Office on June 6, 2007 pertaining to the referenced rezoning request contain enough signatures of the record owners of property within 1000’ of the property in the request to constitute a valid protest petition.  The sum total of the real property represented in the petition is 35.58% of the real property within the notification area, which is more than the minimum 20% required for a valid protest petition. 

The protest petitions contain the names of property owners of 15 individual parcels of record.  One individual who signed the petition owns property outside the 1000’ buffer distance of the zoning request so they were not included in the calculations to determine the validity of the petitions.  Another property was excluded from the calculations because only one of the two property owners of record signed the petition.

The attached map illustrates the properties within the 1000’ protest buffer area whose owners are protesting this rezoning request. 

The calculations for determining the validity of the petition are shown below:

Total Area of all Parcels w/in 1000’ of the

Property in the Rezoning Request                    673.21 acres

Total Area of Parcels inside the 1000’ Buffer

Whose Owners are Protesting the

Rezoning Request (13 Parcels)                        239.53 acres

Percent of Total Parcel Area

in Protest Petition                                          239.53 acres/673.21 acres = 35.58%
