This is a request to approve a resolution finding the Peak Center Addition No. 1 Annexation petition to be in substantial compliance with C.R.S. Section 31-12-107, setting a public hearing date of January 12, 2021 to consider the annexation, and directing the City Clerk to provide notice of the hearing in accordance with C.R.S. Section 31-12-108. The annexation area is 11.36 acres and located east of Voyager Parkway along Old Ranch Road.
Previous Council Action:
On December 10, 2019, City Council accepted the original petition for annexation.
Background:
The Colorado Municipal Annexation Act of 1965 (the “Act”) provisions require that once a petition has been reviewed and is found to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of C.R.S. 31-12-107(1), the City Council must set a hearing to consider the annexation and publish notice of the annexation hearing for four (4) weeks prior to the public hearing. In addition, the hearing date must be no less than thirty (30) days or more than sixty (60) days after the effective date of the resolution setting the hearing. City staff has reviewed the Peak Center Addition No. 1 Annexation Petition and has found it to be in substantial compliance with C.R.S. Section 31-12-107(1). City staff recommends that City Council find the petition to be in substantial compliance, set a hearing date on the petition, and direct the Clerk to give notice in accord with C.R.S. Section 31-12-108, as required by the Act. The notice of the annexation hearing can be published on the following dates: November 28, 2020, December 5, 2020, December 12, 2020 and December 19, 2020 to adhere to the statute requirements for the January 12, 2021 City Council meeting. Approving the resolution and setting a public hearing for the proposed annexation does not obligate the City Council to approve the annexation in the future.
Financial Implications:
Not applicable at this time. A fiscal impact analysis has been prepared and will be provided to the City Council with the annexation hearing information packet.
