Castle (Parcel Nos. 230910-34001 and 230910-34004) to annex their properties to the City of Grandview. The petitioners elected to request annexation under the 60% petition method of annexation.

The petitioners requested the parcels be annexed with an M-1 Light Industrial zoning as identified on the City’s Future Land Use map. All of the parcels were included in the City’s designated Urban Growth Area. State law required the City Council to determine: (1) if the City would accept, modify or reject the proposed annexation, (2) whether the City would require the simultaneous adoption of a proposed zoning regulation for the subject property, and (3) whether the City would require the assumption of all or any portion of existing City indebtedness by the area to be annexed. Upon acceptance of the Letter of Intent, the Petition would be presented to the Hearing Examiner to conduct a public hearing.
