In accordance with C.R.S. 31-12-106, the City is authorized to annex municipally owned land by ordinance if a least one -sixth of the perimeter is contiguous with the municipality, the area is owned by the City and is not solely a public street or right-of-way. This annexation will enable the zoning and land use of the property to be governed by City of Pueblo regulations. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: This ordinance will annex a portion of the City's Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park property containing a total of 168.2 acres. The area being annexed is north and south of William White Boulevard, east of North 27th Lane and west of the Fujifilm Electronic Materials Facility. The perimeter of the proposed annexation area has 44% contiguity with the existing city limit boundary. The annexation area contains a .53 -mile section of the William White Boulevard right-of-way. Annexation of this area into the City will also enable the zoning and land use of the property to be governed by City of Pueblo regulations and not continue to be controlled by the land use regulations and permit approvals through the Pueblo County Planning & Development Department. This has created a challenging process for both the city and county agencies that will be more streamlined with the property being under the City's land use regulations. C.R.S. 31-12- Docusign Envelope ID: 4F47E54B-7683-8C73-82D2-ACCB61 C4CE07 106 allows the City to annex municipally owned land by ordinance if a least one -sixth of the perimeter is contiguous with the municipality, the area is owned by the City and is not solely a public street or right-of-way. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The City will be responsible for the maintenance of a .53 -mile section of William White Boulevard. There will be no other additional financial impact since the City of Pueblo currently is responsible for providing municipal services to the property including fire, wastewater, and stormwater services. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: While not required by Colorado Revised Statutes, the City Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the annexation at their July 23, 2025, work session. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: To the extent required by Colorado Revised Statutes, an impact report is being provided to Pueblo County, Pueblo School District 70, Pueblo City -County Library District, Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservancy District. ALTERNATIVES: City Council could vote to not approve the annexation Ordinance, and the property would remain within unincorporated Pueblo County and under the jurisdiction of Pueblo County land use and zoning regulations. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Ordinance 2. Pueblo Memorial Airport - West Airport Annexation Impact Report 3.
