POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support approving the resolution clarifying the legal description of the Santa Fe Urban Renewal Plan Area?
 
BACKGROUND:
At the November 4, 2014 council meeting, Council approved the Santa Fe Urban Renewal Plan and deleted certain properties that had originally been recommended by the Littleton Invests for Tomorrow Urban Renewal Authority to be included within such plan area.  
 
At the March 17, 2015 council meeting, council further determined to remove certain additional properties from the plan area, based on testimony from property owners of their desire to have their properties removed from the plan area.
 
The city, as part of the adoption of the plan area, is required to define the plan area, and as pertinent to the inclusion of agricultural land, is required to provide a legal description of such agricultural land pursuant to C.R.S. ยง 31-25-107(1)(d).  The legal description initially provided as Appendix B to the Plan is inconsistent with Figure No. 1 and Section 1.4 of the plan in that it contains a description of the "legal parcels" within the plan area, but it did not explicitly include the adjacent rights-of-way as specifically provided by the plan.  With the deletion of properties at the November 4, 2014 and March 17, 2015 council meetings, council desires to clarify that the final legal description attached to the plan as Appendix B properly incorporates the deletion of the properties as determined by the city council and contains all adjacent rights-of-way as set forth in and consistent with the plan.
 
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the resolution clarifying the legal description of the Santa Fe Urban Renewal Plan Area.
