Reference: Peters Property Annexation
To: Mayor Gregory Mills and Members of City Council
Through: Michael P. Martinez, City Manager
Prepared By: Summer McCann, Senior Planner
Date Prepared: December 18, 2024
PURPOSE
In order to proceed with annexation of the Peters Property (the "Property"), the Council must conduct a public hearing, approve a resolution for annexation eligibility, and complete the first reading of the annexation ordinance. A Petition for Annexation (the "Petition") was accepted by the City Council at a regular meeting. In Resolution 2024-93, City Council set the public hearing for this annexation for January 21, 2025.
City Council must now hold a public hearing and consider a resolution that constitutional and statutory (C.R.S. ?31-12-104 and ?31-12-105) requirements have been met. If resolved, City Council will also consider the annexation ordinance at first reading.
PROCESS

A separate application to rezone the Property to a City zone district is also before the City Council. At the next scheduled meeting after approval on first reading, if granted, an annexation agreement will be brought before the City Council, along with the second reading of the annexation ordinance. A subdivision plan, final plat and site plan will be required before any development can occur on the site.
