Annexations at the city edge

We only voted for Boulder to annex the land.

city council approved as an emergency ordinance number 8384 regarding the annexation of CU South

Number one, does the annexation request comply with applicable state annexation requirements?

The annexation review process requires compliance with state annex annexation statutes and policies of the BBCP.

unless it is annexed in the city, we cannot develop it.

all the way up to the shady land annexation deal between the city and CU.

what the voters voted on was the annexation of CU South which had absolutely nothing to do with the dam

adopt Resolution 1383 finding the annexation petition to annex approximately 5.43 acres of land in compliance with state statutes

Within the annexation agreement, it states there is a provision of continued public access for recreational uses.

getting extractions through the annexation that are commensurate with the existing street section

Hakabai um annexation I think is planning to come to council on October 15th

I don't know if um if potential annexation and financial support from the city would actually be in 2027.

I will mention that the annexation agreement does limit the height.

remove item 3D, which is consideration of two items related to a petition to annex a property at 1275 Cherryville

Planning board accepted this condition recognizing that the city has annexation policies in place that can address a land use change

The project will require Annexation, Site Review and Use Review applications.

request for annexation of two properties totaling 5.4 acres and located at 1275 Cherryvale Rd.

It really presupposes that the land use map would then be changed upon annexation of those properties

it wouldn't add any additional time other than just additional time for staff analysis to determine what is the most appropriate land use to apply

the certainty that comes with a vision of a neighborhood scale for those areas should they be proposed for annexation in the future

approximately 69% of property owners owning more than 50% of the annexation area have signed the petition.

Annexation is being pursued to connect all properties to city water service and constructing required public infrastructure.

Uh we received this application in 2023 and have been working with the applicants, the water association

Consideration of the following motions regarding the proposed annexation of an area generally located within the Spring Valley Estates Subdivision

I know our staff has been in communication and will continue to work with you during this period of transition and possible future annexation.

you know we've had that experience with uh especially like property owners that are annexing into the city

site annexation included a thorough ecological review and there is no presence

I do think that, number one, the annexation petition is compliant with state annexation statutes.

in terms of policies on annexation, the subject area may be considered for annexation due to its designation as Area 2.

Annexation by petition requires persons comprising more than 50% of the landowners in the area and owning more than 50% of the area to petition for annexation.

this is related to item G which is uh related to the Spring Valley Estates annexation.

to determine that the petition to annex approximately 43.194 acres of land generally located within the Spring Valley Estates Subdivision

in the annexation agreement for CU South, we had a a clause in there a paragraph in there about public safety

amending annexation Ordinances 8728 and 8729 to add legal descriptions for the two annexation areas

I think before we consider annexation. There's some more important old foundational work that's unfinished in our existing service area.

every annexation is discretionary, right? Like, unlike other land use, where if it meets criteria, you know, it needs to be approved.

The annexation happened just last month, or just actually in the last few weeks.

we really couldn't start some of those processes and have those conversations until we had the property annexed.

City Council unanimously approved the annexation of the former Hogan Pancos property

how utilities would expand into new lands developed or annexed by the city

as per the annexation agreement, we were required to have pitched roofs with buildings no higher than two stories

annexations is sort of our other big tool, right

we are proposing to change those to Area 2, so they could be potentially annexed at some point into the future

Area 2 are, Some adjacent areas that would be eligible for annexation at some point in the future

Annexations are a little bit more unreliable. But those are the ones that, we're familiar with.

that's why you're seeing a lot of annexation agreements come back to Planning Board.

We've heard recently, especially in the context of annexations, that we can't push as hard on the proportion of affordable housing

they brought in the entire public right-of-way and are now allowing individual properties to annex in on a case-by-case basis.

and then it gives the adjacent properties the opportunity to annex in.

with the stipulation that, those other regions can still annex in at a later date.

we had 5 big annexations, and we were able to require ownership units.

Is this annexation a decision? Is this what's going to prompt the design concept for flipping the pool to the other side of the property?

City Council did unanimously approve the annexation of the property adjacent to East Boulder Community Park.

Staff reviewed the annexation petition and map for compliance with state statutes

the proposal includes annexation and initial zoning uh district of public

The annexation and initial zoning uh first reading was approved on consent back in January at city council.

In 2000, we submitted a concept plan and request for annexation and initial zoning

I want to clarify what you have already said here on council that tonight's decision is not about annexation

could that land be leased from current owners uh without necessarily uh annexing that land into the city

the city and county do ultimately continue to support the annexation of all area 2 lands

Can you give us any read on, like, where the City Council's mindset is on that, on that annexation?

February 19th is when City Council will have their second reading for the potential annexation of the properties

32 proposes that any future annexation of Gun Barrel be initiated by the residents and removes policy language

annexation into the city of Boulder already requires property owner initiation through a property owner petition

which has long been designated for future urban services and intended for annexation into the city since the 1970s

lands may be annexed into the city in the future if there is an interest by the residents of those Area 2 areas

Request number 32 proposes that any future annexation of gun barrel be initiated by the residents

the applicant has expressed interest in potential future annexation

the applicant is requesting annexation of the city of Boulder with re zoning

Uh therefore, staff recommends that council consider approving the annexation

we are here for the second reading of the annexation and initial zoning of 915 Fifth Street.

with the potential of area 3 in the future being open to annexation

So for key issue one um is a proposed annexation consistent with state statutes and BBCP policies.

This portion of the 55th Street rightway is proposed to be annexed to close the gap between the area of 55th to the north and the south.

As part of the annexation process, a wetlands map is required to establish the mapped wetlands regulatory boundaries for all properties that are brought into city limits.

just like any other land in Area 2, Have to apply for annexation

Two, area two, annexation can be considered if consistent with the Boulder Valley Comp Plan

The key difference, I would say, is that at the time of annexation, most Properties are providing their public improvements at that point in time

because of those annexation agreements, in a way, I think we feel an obligation

the City of Boulder annexed properties on Sumac Avenue and 17th Street from Boulder County in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

under the terms of the annexation, the metropolitan district would finance and build water improvements and connections to the water city system

And in 2019, the city and the district signed an annexation agreement to provide public services and improvements

It's a part of the annexation agreement that this property was annexed under, along with the rest of the Crestview East subdivision.

they're asking for an amendment to the annexation agreement, um, which is a voluntary contract

Can we annex, you know, everything below the blue line, and not annex the part that there is no benefit to annexing?

The proposed annexation agreement, which was provided as an attachment in your packet, prohibits any new development

So, annexation, as you all know, is the process whereby land is incorporated into the municipal boundaries.

I will encourage the annexation agreement to discourage the square foot increase

I have a couple of concerns about the proposed changes to the annexation agreement

I think there'd have to be a compelling reason and some sort of benefit

Besides petitions from landowners, is there another vehicle where we decide to pull that into the city limits?

where ultimately annexation in many instances is encouraged, but could be considered.

Population growth, major densification, major skill growth, the event, and annexation.

Area 2 is outside city limits, but eligible for annexation

Is this the opportunity where you say, hey. Let's consider annexing it for future development

We haven't looked specifically at annexations and what the actual feasibility

The eastern parcel at 5515 contains a detached dwelling unit and is currently under county jurisdiction and is proposed to be annexed

very interesting to think about the levels of utility service and annexation

Some of the key areas of interest for this group include annexation and urban services provisions.

the map you see at the left illustrates the bikeway underpasses to be constructed, at J Road, Highway 52, Nairat Road

some of the projects that have come in that are annexations, where it is a very large property

That would be an annexation? I see what you're saying, that would be an annexation into the city?

What I can say is annexation agreements are individualized. They're they're contract by contract.

we have seen annexations that they thought they were going to get out of the ground

Annexation is a huge benefit to the developers. Without it, their project couldn't move forward.

Well, they went ahead and annexed it. 45% of the housing stock in that development would be affordable housing.

I believe the annexation agreement amendments are just on consent.

to be attached to this agenda item for the approval of the Annexation agreement amendment

staff does find that the proposed agreement, the Annexation Agreement amendment remains consistent with the Boulder Valley Comp plan

So annexations with additional development potential are required to demonstrate community benefit consistent with Bbcp policies

there is a an annexation of property going in in there that they're looking to try and develop

So we are annexing property to make that possible.

the annexation process itself is is instigated by the land owner

it seems like it could be helpful to have those annexed into the city

these parks could be annexed into the city.

And then annexation, which will take another 3, 4, 5 years

until the decision is made to move it from area 3 to area 2, which makes it eligible for annexation.

So we've had situations where we asked through that. We asked for that through annexation.

So the original annexation terms are the percentages and the number of units and the location of units.

And we've seen that the the most recent projects that were approved were of annexation projects

There is almost 200 Boulder County unincorporated Boulder County residents in there, and only right now, as the maps is, is being presented to us.

because of annexation agreements that exist from a number of years ago

Area 2 is already area that is able to annex if the property owner wants to

we could look more closely at areas that are designated as area 2 currently that are directly adjacent to the city

would that effectively halt our pursuit of annexing and that process of area 3

Just to clarify area 3 is not annexed yet in in the city.

It is not part of the city. So we have this issue. We have always had this issue.

We included a residential layout and proposal as part of that annexation, that annexation didn't go through at the time

When we amend an annexation agreement. Does that essentially open the annexation agreement up to renegotiation.

So here you can see the prior site review that was approved in 2020 along with the annexation of the southern parcels.

just clarify on the timeline the the annexation packet. Well, it says you'll give an update in June

It would go to planning board and then city council. Both bodies review those

I have something in the consent agenda materials. There was information about the annexation of the task force

That involved a purchase of property with the University of Colorado Annexation, and then land use

Uh a small little uh development outside may not have been annexed yet. Uh is 25 and and as I mentioned Lincoln, Nebraska

More development out in our flagpole annexation, which should never have been a flagpole annexation.

The annexation is the 1st step, the next step is, there will need to be zoning and a land use.

So we have submitted our annexation application. When that is ready, that'll move through the appropriate approvals

getting very real for folks, because we have officially submitted our annexation application.

with an intent to talk to the owner about, you know, potentially encouraging an annexation.

And if at some point in the future the San Lacero property is annexed to the city.

I think that was part of the annexation that was negotiated back in the mid 2 thousands

the service expansion plan AKA area plan can be modified or tweaked down the road after we then pursue the annexation process

there's been historic buildings on properties in the county that we're annexing to the city

to move forward with this annexation, and to increase density is to do our community a grave disservice

then makes that that land eligible for annexation.

the planning reserve and a possibly decommissioned airport would bring the total to

we're not putting words in your mouth that the annexation is not financially feasible at this time

the policies that will guide future annexation agreements and development

I'm the developer and applicant for this annexation request at 2801 J Road I own

So based on that feedback the applicant chose to move forward with the land use map change and the annexation and initial zoning

public Hearing in consideration of the following items related to a petition to Annex a property at 2801 J road

there's San Lazaro which is actually in the county um and hopefully will be annexed but right now that housing is not part of uh the city of Boulder

I support the annexation in general and affordable moderate housing on that site in particular

I too am also interested in that J Road piece

there was a speaker who brought up the J Road anex

It helps us to create boundaries about where we can annex, where we can expand those sorts of things.

recommendation on a petition to annex an approximately 4.8 6 acre area of land

So I'm going to move through some of these annexation agreement terms, and I have 3 slides like this.

4 major issues this intersection, the density the annexation agreement and utilities, and the Boulder Valley comp plan.

an annexation application could come in an agreement could be developed and those areas could be annexed into the city

area two are locations within the Boulder Valley that have already been identified as being eligible for annexation

where annexation into the city is in anticipated so long as that growth is

of annexing anything in Area 3, that it seems like that is a it's baked.

We're not annexing in any area 3 stuff other than plant, possibly area 3 planning reserve.

these are areas that are now under county jurisdiction where annexation into the city is anticipated

But if the area were identified as area 2 and then eligible to be annexed into the city.

So is it right to assume that this whole, the way this process works is annexed.

it would convert either all or a portion of the planning reserve to Area 2, meaning that it is then eligible for annexation

individual properties would need to go through annexation process there's development review

comparable to the CU South annexation where we take an analysis in the next phase

could be annexed into the city to meet future needs

Maybe the Spring Valley annexation. That's 1 of them for water and wastewater

The county does have different setback requirements than the city, but it was annexed into the city, so any new addition would require it

It was not even in the city of Boulder City limits. It was annexed into the city. Just after 2010,

Examples of that include parts of gunbarrel, some properties on adjacent edges of the city, such as the San Lacroo mobile home manufactured home community

So unfortunately, the precise language of each of the annexation agreements is a little bit different.

annexation agreement obligations never required them to generally contribute more than half of the the total cost

This was a land grab. A long time ago we should have never had, you know the sales tax revenue annexation

it stipulates that for annexation and urban expansion to occur here.

We are working with the city to annex Emerald City's 105,000 square feet of light industrial aiming to preserve.

motion to adopt ordinance 8623 annexing to the city of Boulder approximately 2 acres of land

annexation is the process to incorporate land into the city boundary

motion to adopt ordinance 8623 which is annexing the property at 5600 table MAA drive to the city of Boulder

the second would be just starting to look at annexing into the city, as you can see, it's outside the city limits.

the staff recommends a planning board, adopt the following motion to recommend a city council approval of the proposed annexation

and if a property is annexed. Zoning is also then established according to the land. Use designation

The annexation is related to the construction of South Boulder Creek Flood project, and that's particularly spillway floodwall

as I recall the provisions of the annexation agreement which I think are burned into my head um that is effectively contingent

if we did not have an annexation agreement with the University of Colorado would we even have access to the ability

the annexation and its contents have been reviewed and adopt by Council they have also been solidly approved by the citizens

which is why the guy wanted to get Annex because his flut, his his well went bad during the flood

Second, is the annexation proposal that we just reviewed.

So you can see within the proposed annexation area.

Who are we annexing that land from? Is that city own land already?

they filed an annexation petition more than 50% of the land owners signed the petition

an annexation agreement is required to establish terms and conditions of an annexation

annexation is the process of annexing land that is outside of the city boundaries into the city boundaries

in going back to the annexation agreement the elements of that that are re relevant to the flood project

the reason that we're doing that is that the annexation will reduce jurisdictional complexities

the other process step involves an annexation of essentially this the same property

there's the church on 20 eighth and Irish. That's an annexation.

one of the criteria for annexable land is that it has to have development potential

Generally they are the biggest one in the one you've probably heard about is, out which was done a couple of years ago.

areas that um are intended for future incorporation into the city through annexation

so the annexation agreement has Provisions requiring um the units to be affordable uh they're also deed restricted

3E is don't Annex that property and 3H is the site review which depends upon the annexation

the concepts around annexation that you know we won't provide services unless you annex into the city

related to community benefit and the annexation. And the missing middle housing.

Staff finds the proposed annexation to be consistent with state statutes.

is the proposed annexation consistent with state statues and BVCP policies including BVCP policy 1.1 7 annexation.

So the proposal for the annexation as I mentioned before is to annex the 5.3 acre parcel.

with the help of the voters we approved the CU South annexation

Older held no one accountable for the PUD and annexation commitments made back when celestial seasonings was first built.

staff and planning board found that the application compliance with State annexation statutes it meets the six contiguity requirement

ordinance 8582 tonight council is considering second reading of annexation ordinance

Okay, so I was wrong. But for anything of any size, we're gonna require affordable units, no option for cash

Annexations are really different than I. They're not IH, the IH. Rules don't apply.

I have 2 questions related to annexation, which is. Something that I brought up in a recent annexation that we were considering.

annexations as you're aware do allow the city and do allow you Council to make determinations

for annexation and and annexation is different than than just site, review, and stuff

we've been in discussion about annexing uh the uh San Lazaro uh neighborhood and I just want to make sure that in our calculations about who gets served

It would not be subject to, ie. To be subject to a negotiation of affordable housing through annexation.

So it used to be, we could get 50 or even more than 50% of the units in an amication to be permanently affordable.

let's see the annexation item um that's 3H sorry so I'll just make

Approval of the proposed annexation of the property located at 3 0 3 Three-third street, with an initial zoning designation of residential low

An annexation agreement is required which is a negotiated contract to establish the terms and conditions of the annexation

in terms of the review process and criteria for those who are maybe unfamiliar annexation is the process to incorporate the land into city boundaries

They've got an annexation agreement to annex into the city upon us, getting all the approvals.

The voters approved that annexation with, some conditions that the city provide funds

for the city to basically finance be the bank for for this annexation process.

Spring Valley they desire to annex into the city, and they've submitted an annexation.

it's not eligible for annexation, because it doesn't have infrastructure.

if the city annexes it, of course there are things we can do with zoning

Those are areas that are not annexed to the city. They're actually part of the county.

isn't a requirement to demonstrate community benefit outside of the annexation process

i'm happy to chime in on this annexation

it was their newly in the city limits, as the blue line location has changed, and so they're more recently eligible for annexation

some of the properties are in a mapped zoning situation where they're eligible for annexation into the city

But we did a an annexation agreement with the University of Colorado

maximizing allowable far to increase the return to the developer and her investors is not reason to Annex Land from the county

affordable housing community benefits will be finalized through annexation reviewed under case number

In my opinion it should never been developed like that like gun barrel, you know a flagpole annexation essentially where there's all this development.

The site meets the required one-sixth contiguity to to current city properties

the properties to the north were annexed in 1,992

The applicant has requested annexation to connect the existing detached single family home to city water and services

it's going to be all the way out to Louisville Lafayette you know we might as well Annex you know more gun barrels

annexation agreements are negotiated, and then they can sit up on the shelf for years

a proposed annexation needs to demonstrate community benefit consistent with the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan

because we have a lot of control in a in an annexation

the eventual annexation initial zoning and the land use map change requests that their proposal requires

the request would require annexation and for the property to be zoned to the city Zone District

the percent of affordable housing community benefit will be finalized through annexation

is our continued consideration of the following items related to a petition to Annex a property generally located at 6 500 Arapahoe Road

this annexation is about a factory that operates on weekends nearer homes and in environmentally sensitive area

because only the first annexation creates the contiguity for the second annexation

They would require an annexation initial zoning of Dvc. Land Use Map Change in the Site Review

the percent of Affordable Housing community benefit will be finalized through annexation

no rezoning of the property and annex session should be allowed prior to

I'm here to talk about 6 500 Arapahoe annexation uh and so first I wanted to make a quick clarification

CU South exists today as an annexation agreement that we get to hold to protect 2300 people's lives

the approval of the annexation includes approving proposed ordinances which also incorporate the IGA

the annexation negotiations have been ongoing since 2018 and an application was filed in July of 2021

today I'll be presenting on a request for annexation of a 47.9 acre property with an initial zoning designation of public

we're aware that there are strong and diverse views about the annexation and we're committed to working on behalf

CU South annexation and just want to say we recognize that our community appears to favor maintaining that annexation agreement

this inventory has been re a result of annexation requirements so I and since I've been on Council

the place that that we know that we can mandate it is through annexations because it's a negotiated um agreement

the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan identifies the need for an annexation particularly or residential to provide Community benefit

annexation is discretionary by the city council right in other words we can approve or disapprove an annexation

just to provide a brief overview of the annexation terms um additional details it can be found in attachment e

I'll provide a brief presentation on um the process to date for the annexation of 6500 Arapahoe Road

with respect to properties we don't own if they want to be annexed we have much greater leverage

either through Community benefit agreements if we Annex private properties and at our own discretion

they can't negotiate anything differently as part of the annexation agreement right

and in the annexation agreement there is 119 Acres that is designated as open space

does the city have a lot to gain with regards to open space um as a result of the annexation agreement

if the annexation of Cu South is not repealed

there have been some denials of annexations for instance

the applicant is requesting annexation by petition the annexation must also meet the policies

so just to provide some history on june 21st council considered the annexation petition for the annexation

i don't know specifically what this annexation's about but like i say it has anything to do

whether or not to repeal ordinance 8483 regarding the annexation of cu south

because i was organizing testimony for your annexation hearing i just my heart is so filled with gratitude

overturning the annexation of seaboulder south would compromise the critical progress currently underway

if you're going to do a deal with the city manager on annexation at 390 arapaho

that's why you know a lot of the where you'll see the affordable ownership units right are in annexations right things where we have more leverage

so in terms of process annexation agreement amendments are reviewed consistent with the process is and standards for annexation

The city limits services are provided we have area to which says we can annex those areas we

our prior cost estimate of 66 million dollars which actually got negotiated down during the annexation

we had the annexation agreement which was also key for us because we had to know how our design would interact

the cu south annexation agreement is a very bad deal for boulder it should be repealed

the manufactured home community that's hopefully going to be annexed

I just know there's still in conversations or discussions over that annexation agreement

part of the annexation process is a negotiation, and so we would really

the plan recommends annexation of this site into the city

annexations are legislative in nature and so there's not a timeline associated with that

to repeal the annexation agreement by referendum this november 2022

let us not forget that when the previous city council passed the annexation by emergency ballot measure 302 is rendered moot

I noticed there's a couple of annexation says that is that a complex thing or Community driven thing

we did this because we believe that the annexation agreement is fatally flawed and highly disadvantaged

the agreement allows cu to construct 750 000 square feet of non-residential buildings

i think we should still support that annexation i think it's a great thing for us to do

there are no annexation or inclusion Provisions in the library law so you have to choose your boundaries

per year um out of annexations and small um uh um projects that have home ownership

there's also um things that we're doing to look at annexations where um we often get um affordable housing

let the voters decide on the annexation of Cu South that item typo failed with a

those of you who took a clear position of support on annexing CU South for flood mitigation

challenging the provisions of the uh annexation proposal for CU South

Because the bulk of the homeownership units, we got through annexation.

The additional Community benefit for annexation we talked about as well

So the fourth one has to do with the annexation so probably noticed, I mean

these same owners have now decided that they are ready to have their land annexed into our city

it's an action that council took to annex and it really would tie our hands on a health and safety issue

annexing to the city of boulder approximately 308.15 acres of land generally known as cu south

the annexation of approximately 308.15 acres of land generally known as cu south

308.15 acres of land generally known as cu south located at

motion to adopt by emergency measure ordinance 8483 annexing to the city of Boulder approximately 308.15 acres of land generally known as CU South

setting forth findings of fact and conclusions regarding the annexation approximately 308.15 acres of land generally known as CU South

the public hearing and consideration of the following items related to a petition to Annex a 308.15 acre parcel generally known as CU South

calling a special meeting on september 14th which will be um for the public hearing of the cu south annexation

and without having the land disposal of 119 acres this is a new change it was brought up

if there's a de-annexation there's a change in what happens with the dx de-annexation

at annexation we also amended our policy for at all annotations to require a higher percentage and middle income

one of the things that we've identified as a probable goal for the city is the annexation of the san lazaro mobile home park

this current annexation with an undefined annexation greenlighted when flood mitigation could proceed without doing the annexation

the justification that urgency is needed on annexation for flood mitigation is an outright falsehood

two drafts of the annexation agreement remain incomp complete complete vague and contradictory

the ordinance 8483 which is the first reading of the annexation ordinance um that uh item has had a hotline

resolution 1289 finding the annexation petition to annex approximately 308.15 acres of land in compliance with state statutes

what happens if we don't get our permits and de-annex is the annexation to complete the annexation

a group that tried for years and years to get some sort of approval from the city to annex some property

there will be first reading of the ordinance related to the cu south annexation as well as a state required resolution

we'll consider two items one will be the first reading of an annexation ordinance relative to cu south

go through a lengthy annexation process, and then a lengthy planning process as well

annexation our primary Community benefit as you recall, is that typically anywhere from 40 to 60% of any new development

i would like to see the go going from a recommendation to a goal of annexing san lazaro

yeah annexation of of that area is a recommendation included in the in the draft plan

what consideration has been given to a possible annexation and um is that or could that be a goal of the area plan

why won't the city hold anyone accountable for the Pud and annexation

has a clause in the annexation agreement that says we will Annex that property at the will of

we did have the cu south annexation agreement draft released yesterday so i want to thank the university

developing an annexation agreement for council action which includes public engagement

this one came in through the annexation Pro um process and celebrates one of um Boulder longtime local businesses

this site was annexed as part of a Crest View West Series annexations in the 1990s

ongoing public engagement process related to the cu south annexation the city has provided an impressive number of opportunities

if the answer is yes then the university would proceed with the development of the site consistent with the annexation agreement

annexation is um challenging and expensive so um we're trying to figure out what the best path forward is

our annexation process and requirements can be quite expensive so staff is currently considering ways to provide

we have um different levels established and that was part of the annexation uh agreement

in 2017 both 90 and 96 arapo property adjacent to the east were successfully annexed into the city

the property was annexed together with 96 arapo which will be coming in front of you

we would add item 6A which is an update on CU South annexation negotiations

staff has been negotiating with CU regarding their annexation application and we've reached a point

the concept has the the flood project and the annexation tied to each other

the annexation agreement and that process will be coming forward

holding Community meetings on the CU South annexation proposal kudos for this citizen engagement effort

T TO T ANNEXATIONON THAT'SS GOINGNG TOE A MAJOR TRANSPORTATION THING

to prepare the CU South site for CU to build there just say no to annexation

having two parallel processes cu south annexation and south boulder creek flood control and keeping them coordinated

two key actions that were identified first related to the annexation framework

and the annexation and redevelopment of the ponderosa neighborhood we saw as a model

please carefully analyze traffic studies before approving any annexation to ensure that these problems will be

I'm going to address cu's petition to Annex CU South property also this evening

our standard practice is that there would be a site plan as part of the annexation proposal

only affects their ability to apply for annexation now

I want to question the haste with which the annexation project is being rammed through CU won't develop its CU South property for several years

city and CE you aligned on so many components of the annexation agreement not being in danger from flooding in my neighborhood

filling in land so see you can develop it is not protection against flooding or part of storm water drainage

I could foresee you know with the working groups work with that community that a recommendation to Annex San Lazo

my other question is about um annexation of um the mobile home parks

we anticipate that cu boulder is going to submit revised annexation application materials in early october

when this gets upon approval of annexation um does this open that this 1.6 acres remain in area 3

the second reading of ordinance 8414 annexing the 4.87 acre parcel at zero airport boulevard

approximately six of those acres are proposed to be annexed the site consists of two unplotted parcels

to develop the property as proposed the property must be annexed to the city and zone for industrial development

tonight's for your consideration is the annexation of two parcels generally located at 5600 airport boulevard

if the CU South doesn't hit the signature amounts then um there is a a ongoing process around the annexation

which is both you know it's about annexation and it's partly administrative

we will have a continued discussion about CU South annexation that's on our work plan

There was discussion about the need to address transportation connections and the annexation agreement

in which the city could Annex those properties should we choose to

so the next Milestone on the annexation side is roughly end of year and it's more or less a term sheet

the next big step is working towards what we're calling a draft annexation framework
