Summary

Council introduced a voluntary annexation petition for about 6.668 acres along the I‑65/37th Avenue corridor to permit M‑1 industrial expansion tied to the CATCO project and scheduled a public hearing for April 15.

The council received an introduction of a voluntary annexation petition for property along the I‑65 and 37th Avenue corridor that an applicant representative said will be annexed to the city as M‑1 industrial. Richard Anderson, who identified himself and described the parcel, said the annexation would allow CATCO to build an addition including outside storage on roughly 6.668 acres; staff confirmed a fiscal plan and an updated Baker Tilly analysis reflecting property size were in the packet. Council moved and seconded a motion to set the petition for public hearing on April 15.

Staff noted the annexation is an introductory item only and that vacation of internal platted streets may follow as part of site preparation; the packet includes a fiscal analysis and the planning staff will prepare the formal public‑hearing notice. The council did not vote on annexation itself at this meeting — only on setting the hearing date.

What’s next: A public hearing is scheduled for April 15; staff will publish the required notices and the public will have an opportunity to comment formally at that hearing.
