This is a request to approve a resolution finding the Park Vista Addition No. 5B Annexation petition to be in substantial compliance with C.R.S. section 31-12-107, setting a public hearing date of November 22, 2022, 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 0.579 acres and located at 1122 Orchid Street.
Previous Council Action:
On January 23, 2018, 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 Park Vista Addition No. 5B 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: October 15, 2022, October 22, 2022, October 29, 2022, and November 5, 2022 to adhere to the statute requirements for the November 22, 2022 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 and annexation impact report were not prepared for this proposal by the City Budget Office, as it did not meet the minimum criteria for conducting impact analysis.

Proposed Motion:
