Reference: Magpie Property Annexation Agreement
To: Mayor Gregory Mills and Members of City Council
Through: Michael P. Martinez, City Manager
Prepared By: Nick Di Mario, Associate Planner
Date Prepared: August 30, 2022
PURPOSE
In order to continue with the annexation process, the City Council should proceed with the approval of an Annexation Agreement. An annexation agreement identifies general terms, applicable and adopted city codes, ordinances, and master plans that will apply to the future development of the property.
In review, 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 July 5, 2022, 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 #2022-78 for further information. By this Resolution, the City Council set the public hearing for this annexation for August 16, 2022.
On August 16, 2022, the City Council held the required public hearing, approved the Findings of Fact via an Annexation Eligibility Resolution (see the attached City Council Resolution #2022-92 for further information), and approved both the Annexation Ordinance and Zoning Map Amendment Ordinance on first reading.
If the Annexation Ordinance is approved on second and final reading, City Council may then make a determination on a Resolution to approve the Annexation Agreement.
