The City has recently annexed other City -owned properties DATE: August 7, 1990 -2- � ITEM NUMBER: 13 a-c along the Foothills and in other areas when contiguity requirements were satisfied and became eligible for annexation. This property gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing City Limits from a common boundary with the Maxwell Open Space Annexation directly to the south. City police protection would extend to the property after annexation. The surrounding zoning and existing land uses are as follows: N: E-1, Estate County zoning (Noel property) E: E-1, Estate County zoning (Noel property) S: R-F, Foothills Residential Zoning (Open Space) W: E-1, Estate County zoning (Noel property) The requested zoning for this annexation is the R-F, Foothills Residential District.
