PURPOSE
Annexation is regulated by Colorado law. Pursuant to C.R.S. ?31-12-106 (3), as the property being annexed is owned by the City of Brighton and is not solely a public street or right-of-way, the City may annex the area into the municipality without notice and hearing. Pursuant to ?30(1)(c) of article II of the Colorado Constitution, no petition is needed to complete the annexation. The next step in the annexation process is for the City Council to make a determination on the first reading of an annexation ordinance.

Annexation is the first step in the land development process with the City (Annexation > Zoning Map Amendment > Platting > Site Plan Review > Permits).

The future South 19th Avenue in this location will be constructed by the Farmlore developer in accordance with the Farmlore North Subdivision Plan Agreement.
