Draft Motion Language Staff Findings and Recommendation: Staff requests council consideration of this matter and action in the form of the following motion: 1. Motion to introduce on first reading and order published by title only Ordinance 8738 amending annexation Ordinances 8728 and 8729 to add legal descriptions for the two annexation areas of the property located at 915 5th Street; and setting forth related details.
Executive Summary The purpose of this item is for City Council to consider the first reading of Ordinance 8738 (Attachment A) amending annexation Ordinances 8728 and 8729 to add legal
descriptions for the two annexation areas of the 915 5th Street property. City Council adopted these two ordinances on January 8, 2026, annexing to the City of Boulder two portions of the 915 5th Street property in a series. Ordinance 8738 will amend both Ordinance 8728 and Ordinance 8729 to add a legal description of the annexation area of each ordinance. The legal descriptions were inadvertently not attached to the ordinances at the time of adoption. Following adoption of Ordinances 8728 and 8729, staff discovered that each ordinance was inadvertently missing Exhibit A, in particular the metes and bounds legal descriptions for the property annexed in each ordinance.
Council Action Options Option
Outcome
Approve motion language as drafted
If the ordinance is introduced and ordered published by title only, a second reading will be scheduled on April 2, 2026, to consider action on the ordinance.
Define and adopt a modified motion
Council would need to define any modifications or amendments to the draft motion language. This will likely require staff to bring back an amended version…
Deny the motion or take no action
If this motion is denied, no second reading will be scheduled. The annexation areas of Ordinance 8728 and Ordinance 8729 would not be clarified. Staff does not recommend this option.
