Upon Council approval, this annexation requires a change in the boundaries of Ward III. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading and public hearing is scheduled for this meeting where the City Council approved the Annexation of the property. Upon approval, the second reading will occur March 10, 2025.
 

City Council may:

• Approve adding the subject property to Ward III, or;
• Disapprove adding the subject property to Ward III. Disapproval will not modify the boundary of Ward III and will create a problem where property inside the City Limits is not within a City Ward.

This application has no impact on the Planning Division Budget.
