Council introduces annexation for I‑65/37th Avenue CATCO corridor, schedules April hearing
Summary
Richard Anderson presented a petition to annex about 6.66 acres into Hobart for an industrial addition tied to the CATCO corridor; council introduced the ordinance, accepted a Baker Tilly fiscal update and set a public hearing for April 15.
Richard Anderson introduced a voluntary annexation petition for roughly 6.66 acres along the I‑65/37th Avenue corridor during the March 18 meeting, saying the parcel would come in as M‑1 zoning and is intended to accommodate an addition for a CATCO‑related facility.
City staff noted Baker Tilly supplied an updated fiscal analysis that adjusts for a property size discrepancy; staff said the updated plan does not materially change projected fiscal impacts. Anderson said the new owners are willing to move forward and the alley of small lots in the area will be consolidated as part of the annexation and development work.
Council moved to acknowledge receipt of the annexation petition and to set a public hearing for April 15. Members discussed follow‑up steps including potential right‑of‑way vacations inside the annexed area and further plan‑commission review. Council also clarified that additional permits and plan‑commission actions will be required before any construction begins.
What’s next: the annexation ordinance was introduced and a public hearing scheduled for April 15. Staff will publish the required legal notices and prepare a report for the hearing.
