Summary

Developer representative Richard Anderson introduced a voluntary annexation for about 6.66 acres in the I‑65/37th Avenue corridor; council discussed parcels, accepted a fiscal analysis, and moved the petition to public hearing after staff noted a fiscal plan was prepared.

Richard Anderson, who identified himself and his address, told the council the petition seeks voluntary annexation of roughly 6.66 acres along the I‑65 and 37th Avenue corridor to accommodate an addition tied to the CATCO project and related industrial uses.

Anderson said the parcel would be annexed into the city as M‑1 (industrial) and that some outside storage and a frontage road were anticipated. Staff noted a revised fiscal plan from Baker Tilly reflecting a minor discrepancy in parcel size and said there would be no significant financial impact from the corrected acreage figures.

Council members discussed the annexation exhibit, existing irregular city boundaries and next steps. A council member moved to receive the petition and send it for public hearing; the motion received a second and was approved. Anderson and staff said they would set the matter for a public hearing in April and pursue the required legal advertisements and notices.

Council also reviewed related development compliance items later in the agenda: staff presented a CFM compliance review for an existing storage project (Grand Trump Storage) and an amended development agreement for PlayStreetDefco LLC tied to construction timeline revisions. Council accepted the compliance report and the amended agreement after staff explained construction challenges and the city’s coordination to adjust timelines.

The council took the annexation petition up as an introduction; the public hearing and final rezoning/annexation decision will occur in a subsequent meeting after published legal notices and the scheduled hearing date.
