A request to annex 1.7 acres west of the Crowley Fleck building on South 19th. B-2 zoning is
proposed.
• 19444 Staff Report
• 19444 Application Materials
Community Development Manager Chris Saunders described the proposed annexation site
on the southwest corner of Kagy and 19th. The city received no public comments on the
proposal. Mr. Saunders described the zoning of the surrounding area and said the area
proposed for annexation is only a portion of the parcel owned by the underlying landowner.
Mr. Saunders answered Commission member questions about water rights and payment in
lieu of water rights.
06:15:44 PM (00:16:07) Mr. Saunders also answered questions concerning street
improvements to South 27th and intersection improvements of W. Kagy and south of 27th as
these are a distance from S. 19th. Mr. Saunders addressed questions about the Storm
Water Design Guidance and the seasonally high ground water in the area.
06:22:25 PM (00:22:48) Matt Hausauer of C & H Engineering, representing the applicant, described
the proposed area as part of an acquisition of land of the applicant from the underlying landowner
and is an expansion of University Crossing Development Subdivision. Mr. Hausauer said that the
zoning of B-2M was considered, however B-2M is too controversial, so the applicant recommended
the zoning of B-2. No water rights are being transferred from the underlying landowner in the
acquisition. Irrigation will come from an existing irrigation well from the current University Crossing
Development. Mr. Hausauer said the plans for the project are to get the annexation and initial
zoning through the process and then plans are to submit a subdivision exemption to tie the area into
the University Crossing Development Subdivision.

06:31:46 PM (00:32:09) MOTION: Having reviewed and considered the staff report, application

the staff report for application 19444 and move to approve the University Crossing 2020 Annexation
with recommended terms of annexation, and direct staff to prepare an annexation agreement for
signature by the parties. Nichole Olmstead
Mr. Saunders made a correction that the Zoning Commission does not make the motion for
annexation, but only for the zoning.
06:32:54 PM (00:33:17) MOTION: Having reviewed and considered the staff report, application
materials, public comment, and all information presented, I hereby adopt the findings presented in
