Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained the Boulder County Housing Authority is petitioning the City to commence a voluntary annexation of 13.404 acres. The annexation petition was submitted by Boulder County for the property located at 245 North 96th Street. The resolution of substantial compliance represents the first step in the annexation process. Council must determine whether the annexation petition and map substantially comply with the statutory criteria for those documents. The staff and the City Attorney's office have reviewed the petition and map and find them to be in compliance with the statutory requirements. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommended approval of Resolution 1, Series 2015, which finds substantial compliance for an annexation petition with the City of Louisville for 245 North 96th Street Annexation and sets a public hearing for February 17, 2015.
