Council finds Saint Francis of Assisi annexation petition in substantial compliance, sets eligibility hearing
Summary
The council determined the Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church annexation petition meets Colorado statutory filing requirements and set an eligibility hearing (recommended date: Feb. 17, 2026) to decide whether the property is eligible for annexation.
Council reviewed a substantial-compliance filing for the proposed annexation of Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, a roughly 16.5-acre property that currently lies in unincorporated Douglas County.
Planning staff explained that the item is the first step in Colorado's three-step annexation process: tonight's hearing determined whether the petition and map met state application requirements. Staff said the petition and map satisfied statutory criteria (referencing Article 2, Section 30 of the Colorado Constitution and Colorado Revised Statutes sections cited in the packet) and recommended setting an eligibility hearing. Staff noted the site is served by Castle Rock Water but currently uses an on-site septic system and would later connect to town services as part of the annexation and zoning steps.
Council moved and approved the resolution finding substantial compliance and set the eligibility hearing date; the vote was unanimous.
