SUBJECT: 2008 - Three-Mile Plan

ADDRESS: 480 South Allison Parkway, Lakewood, Colorado 80226

APPLICANT: Michael J. Rock, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Approval of an update to the Three Mile Plan. Planning Commission, by a vote of 7-0 at the September 3, 2008 meeting, recommends APPROVAL of this request to City Council.

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:

Section 31-12-105(1)(e) of the Colorado Revised Statutes limits annexations by municipalities by stating that no annexation may take place, which would have the effect of extending a municipal boundary more than three miles in any direction from any point of such municipal boundary in any one year. This section of the statutes also requires that, prior to the completion of any annexation within this three-mile area, the municipality shall have in place a plan for that area, which generally describes such things as streets, waterways, utilities, parks, land uses, etc. for the area.

The City's Three Mile Plan consists of an introduction and description of the Three Mile Plan, various independent and applicable land use plans, an explanation of how the plan addresses state requirements and annexation area map.
