Title
Resolution Finding a Certain Petition for Annexation Known as the Castle Rock Industrial Park Annexation to be in Substantial Compliance with Section 30 of Article II of the Colorado Constitution and with the Requirements of §31-12-107(1), C.R.S.; and Establishing a Date, Time and Place for the Hearing Prescribed Under §31-12-108, C.R.S. to Determine if the Property Petitioned for Annexation to the Town of Castle Rock is Eligible for Annexation Under Section 30, Article II of the Colorado Constitution and the Municipal Annexation Act Of 1965 [4.568 acres between Railroad and Highway 85 just north of Liggett Road and Highway 85]
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
Castle Rock Industrial Park, LLC has submitted a Petition for Annexation for a tract of land which is sandwiched between the Union Pacific Railroad and U.S. Highway 85 just north of where Liggett Road spurs off of U.S. Highway 85. Town Council must review and find a Petition for Annexation to be in Substantial Compliance with the applicable requirements of the Municipal Annexation Act (Act).
Once Town Council concurs a Petition for Annexation is in substantial compliance, the Act mandates that Town Council set a date for an Eligibility Hearing to determine if the allegations made in the petition are supportable and eligible to move forward to the Town’s Annexation and Zoning process. The Eligibility Hearing date has been scheduled for November 15, 2016.
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 hearing 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 application substantially complies with the State requirements and staff recommends setting an Eligibility Hearing date of November 15, 2016.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the Resolution as introduced by title.
