PURPOSE
In order to proceed with annexation of the Marrone Trucking Property ("Property"), the Council must conduct a public hearing, approve a resolution for annexation eligibility, and complete the first reading of the annexation ordinance. Annexation is regulated by the Colorado Revised Statutes and is a four step process with the steps as follows:
1.) Petition Accepted by City Council via a Substantial Compliance Resolution
2.) Findings of Fact via an Annexation Eligibility Resolution
3.) 1st Reading of an Annexation Ordinance with a Public Hearing
4.) 2nd Reading of an Annexation Ordinance
o An Annexation Agreement may be approved via a Resolution at this time
A Petition for Annexation ("Petition") was accepted by the City Council at a regular meeting held on December 3, 2019 and City Council found that the Petition was in substantial compliance with the applicable laws of the State of Colorado. See the attached City Council Resolution #2019-120 for further information. Via this Resolution, City Council set the public hearing for this annexation for January 21, 2020.
City Council must now hold a public hearing and make a determination on a resolution for annexation eligibility and on the first reading of an annexation ordinance.
