Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
The Town of Castle Rock is seeking to annex four Town-owned parcels that comprise a portion of the Crowfoot Valley Road right-of-way (ROW) located east of the Crowfoot Valley Road/Tower Road intersection and west of the Crowfoot Valley Road/Macanta Boulevard intersection (Attachment A). This proposed annexation is part of a larger effort to incorporate eligible Town-owned property into the Town Boundaries.
The Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) require that petitions for annexation be considered in a public hearing before Town Council to determine if the petition is in Substantial Compliance with the applicable requirements of the Colorado Municipal Annexation Act (Act) (Attachment B).
Once Town Council concurs that the petition for annexation is in Substantial Compliance with the Act, the Act mandates that Council set a date for the Eligibility Hearing. Town Council will determine at the Edibility Hearing whether the allegations stated in the annexation petition are true and accurate, and if the property is eligible for annexation (Attachment C and D). Upon approval of the Substantial Compliance resolution, the Eligibility Hearing for this petition will be scheduled for Tuesday, October 17, 2023.
Please note that the Substantial Compliance and Eligibility Hearings only determine whether or not a Petition for Annexation may move forward to the Town’s Annexation and Zoning process. It is at the Town’s Annexation and Zoning hearings that Town Council determines whether or not it is in the Town’s interest to annex the property.
Budget Impact
The action of determining substantial compliance does not have any financial impact.
Staff Recommendation
The annexation petition and application substantially complies with the State requirements and staff recommends setting an Eligibility Hearing date of Tuesday, October 17, 2023.
