Council annexes 0.5‑acre tract for single‑family homes in Cimarron Meadows (Ordinance 4803)

The Hastings City Council voted 6-0 on June 9 to approve Ordinance No. 4803, annexing a 0.5-acre parcel southeast of Fisherman Lane and Outrigger Avenue so the property can be subdivided and developed with single-family homes.

City planner Amber told the council the tract is currently outside the city limits and is planned as a two-lot subdivision, Cimarron Meadows addition, that “generally conforms to the comprehensive plan and can be served by existing infrastructure.” She said the site is shown on the future land use map as high-density residential and is zoned CP-3 (commercial business plan district); the intent is to transition from lower-density uses to the west toward commercial uses along Highway 281.

Amber said the final plat is running concurrently with the annexation request to subdivide the parcel into two lots. The planning commission recommended approval 7-0 and staff recommended council approval. The council approved the annexation and later approved the final plat by the same 6-0 vote.

Motion language on the record reads: “I’ll make a motion to approve Ordinance number 4803, extending the boundaries and including within the corporate limits of and annexing to the City of Hastings property generally located southeast of the intersection of Fisherman Lane and Outrigger Avenue in Cimarron Meadows addition.”

Because the annexation and final plat were approved, the property will move forward through the register of deeds process and the developer may proceed with plans consistent with the approved plat and applicable zoning.
