Body
______________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
Barbara J. Lincoln has submitted a Petition for Annexation for a parcel of land which is located west of Ridge Road, south of Fifth Street, and north of the Plum Creek Parkway. The property is surrounded by the Memmen Young Planned Development.
Petitions for Annexation require public hearing before Town Council for review and determination of its Substantial Compliance with the applicable requirements of the Colorado Municipal Annexation Act (Act).
If Town Council concurs a Petition for Annexation is in Substantial Compliance with the Act, the Act mandates that Town Council set a date for its Eligibility Hearing. The Eligibility Hearing determines if the allegations made in the petition are supportable and eligible to move forward to the Town’s Annexation and Zoning process. If this Substantial Compliance Resolution is approved, then the Eligibility Hearing for this petition will be scheduled for October 6, 2020.
Please note that the Substantial Compliance and Eligibility hearings only determine whether or not a Petition for Annexation meets the legal requirements to move forward to the Town’s Annexation and Zoning process. It is at the future 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 application substantially complies with the State requirements and staff recommends setting an Eligibility Hearing date of October 6, 2020.
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the Resolution as introduced by title.
