Southwestern Public Service Company is requesting annexation of 9.56 acres to combine with 10 acres at 402 E Brasher Road, which is already in the Municipal Boundary, to build a proposed XCEL ENERGY Service Center for Trucks and Equipment. After annexation, the applicant will apply for a change in zoning to I-1 Light Industrial that is compatible with I-1 zoning in the municipal boundary to the north and west. Chaves County has provided a letter of "no objection" to the annexation.

There is no direct financial impact to the City associated with this request.
