Council authorizes steps to advance Davis annexation petition for 23‑acre area
Summary
Council approved a resolution accepting the notice to commence annexation for the Davis area (about 23 acres), requiring assumption of indebtedness and authorizing circulation of a 60% petition; staff emphasized additional steps (interlocal with Snohomish County, development agreement, boundary review). Vote was unanimous 6‑0.
The City Council approved a resolution on June 23 to advance the Davis annexation process for an approximately 23‑acre area north of current city limits.
Miss Bright presented Resolution No. 2026‑012, which accepts the proposed annexation boundaries, requires assumption of city indebtedness upon annexation, acknowledges pre‑annexation zoning (R7) adopted June 9, 2026, and authorizes circulation of a 60% annexation petition. Bright reminded council that approval of the resolution does not itself annex the property; it allows the petition and subsequent steps to proceed.
Bright listed next steps that remain before annexation can occur: completion of a site‑specific interlocal agreement with Snohomish County, a development agreement with the petitioner addressing public benefits such as a Chain Lake Road multimodal trail and pedestrian connections, boundary review board review, and future council consideration.
Council moved to approve and direct staff to continue working with proponents on a development agreement that would address trail extension and housing mix; the motion passed 6‑0.
Next steps: Staff to support petition circulation and complete required interlocal and development agreements before final annexation decisions.
