AGENDA MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of Town Council
Through: Bill Detweiler, Director, Development Services
From: Donna Ferguson, Planner II, Development Services
Title: Ordinance Annexing to the Town Of Castle Rock, Colorado a 4.568 Acre Property Located in the Northeast One-Quarter of Section 34, Township 7 South, Range 67 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, County of Douglas, State of Colorado [Castle Rock Industrial Park Annexation] (Second Reading)
Executive Summary
First reading of this application occurred on June 20, 2017; Town Council voted 6-0 to approve the annexation as presented. The second reading was previously scheduled for July 18, 2017 but the applicant chose to table the hearing until today in order to settle a site development matter.
Polo Properties Holdings, LLC is proceeding with an application for Annexation for property known as Castle Rock Industrial Park which was previously owned and brought forward for Annexation consideration by Castle Rock Industrial Park, LLC. The property resides within an industrial area of Town and is sandwiched between the Union Pacific Railroad and Highway 85 where Liggett Road spurs off of Highway 85 (Figure 1).
Annexation into the Town of Castle Rock would permit the property to access Town infrastructure and services and help the Town fill in an industrial land use area within its boundary and grow its tax base. Applications for Annexations require public hearing before Town Council for review and approval.
Budget Impact
The proposed annexation will generate review fees. Zoning and site development impact fees will offset costs to the Town of Castle Rock at a later date.
Staff Recommendation
Staff finds that the proposed annexation was reviewed and processed as prescribed in Title 20 of the Municipal Code, meets the objectives of the Town’s Vision, and meets the review and approval criteria as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. It has additionally been determined that the annexation is also otherwise desirable to the Town by providing continuity of the Town’s jurisdictional boundaries with adjacent parcels presently within the Town limits.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the Ordinance as introduced by Title on 2nd reading.
