shared with the north property line of the Preston—Kelley Second Subdivision(Hewlett-Packard and
Agilent Technologies). Contiguity is also gained along the western boundary which is shared with
the east property line of Woodland Park Estates P.U.D., and along a portion of the north boundary
which is shared with the Robert Shields Subdivision.
September 7, 2004 -2- Item No. 27 A-C
This is a 100% voluntary annexation for a property located within the Growth Management Area.
The property satisfies the requirement that no less than one-sixth of the perimeter boundary be
contiguous to the existing City boundary. The recommended zoning of U-E, Urban Estate, is in
compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Structure Plan Map. Staff recommends the
parcel be placed within the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. The Initiating Resolution was

5-0 to recommend approval/denial to the City Council.
