property within the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation according to Colorado
Revised Statutes (CRS).

This property is eligible for annexation according to CRS, requiring 1/6 contiguity to the existing
city limits. The Fossil Creek Wetlands Annexation and Zoning complies with this standard since
the property has 823 feet of its total boundary of approximately 4099 feet contiguous to the
existing City limits. This meets the minimum 683 feet required to achieve 1/6 contiguity. This
contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Greenstone Annexation(January 1993).
