Full report
Klamath Falls City Council has passed the first reading of a revised ordinance to annex a 0.43-acre Homedale Road property that is already connected to the municipal sewer system, replacing a previous ordinance after errors were found in the supporting boundary documents.
The ordinance would repeal Ordinance 26-03 and adopt a new annexation ordinance for 5641 Homedale Road, a single-family residential property on the south side of Homedale Road. Staff said the property owner is receiving city sewer service and is “happy” to receive that service ahead of the annexation action.
The revision was required after the Oregon Department of Revenue reviewed the city’s original annexation map and legal description, submitted as part of the jurisdictional-boundary-change process. According to staff, the original materials omitted a point of reference on the map and contained an issue with one of the boundary bearings on the west side of the property.
City staff coordinated with the department to update both documents. Staff told council that these corrections were the sole changes in the replacement ordinance; all other elements remain unchanged, including assignment of a medium-density residential zoning designation.
Council unanimously passed the ordinance on first reading by title only. The meeting record does not show final adoption of the replacement annexation ordinance at the October 19 meeting.
