RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve this ordinance on second reading, adding recently annexed property to Ward I.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
David and Ali Mitchell submitted a petition to annex land using the provisions of Section 7-2-4600, MCA. The property is located west of Alkali Creek Road. The property is described by a metes and bounds description which is included in the ordinance attached to this report. Only Phase 1 is being included in Ward I at this time. Additional ordinance amendments will be required at the time future phases are annexed. The property is zoned Agricultural Open Space, a county zone that is not recognized by the City of Billings. There is an accompanying zone change application to change the property to Neighborhood PND.
Upon Council approval, this annexation requires a change in the boundaries of Ward I. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading and public hearing was held on January 10. Council approved the action and second reading will occur on January 24, 2022.

ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve adding the subject property to Ward I, or;
- Disapprove adding the subject property to Ward I. Disapproval will not modify the boundary of Ward I and will create a problem where property inside the City Limits is not within a City Ward.
FISCAL EFFECTS
This application has no impact on the Planning Division Budget.
