Body
Summary and Background Information:
Prospect, LLC is requesting the approval of area for annexation into the City of Commerce City. The property is approximately 3.992 acres and is currently unused.

The area proposed to be annexed shares 52% of its perimeter with the existing boundaries of the City.This case is in conjunction with the annexation zoning case Z-984-22 and vacation case V-94-22.

Analysis: The annexation application has been reviewed by staff and external agencies and has been found to be in compliance with all applicable state laws and the Commerce City LDC.
Staff finds this application meets this criterion.
Criteria (2): The annexation is consistent with the comprehensive plan, and the best interests of the city would be served by annexation of such property;
Analysis: The Station Area Master Plan (STAMP) is the document use to evaluate this application as it is a sub-area master plan and has considered the area surrounding the commuter rail station in greater detail than the comprehensive plan. The STAMP indicates that high residential uses should be located at this site. The proposed zone change to R-3 (Multi-Family Residential) for this property meets the intent of the STAMP.
