Bullock annexation advanced

Editor’s note: A previous version of this story misspelled the name of a senior planner with Great West Engineering who consulted the city on water rights and usage. His name is Jerry Grebenc. The story has been updated.

The Boulder City Council on Monday advanced a request by the Bullock family to annex 6.55 acres of their property into the city limits. Chad Bullock, who submitted the annexation request, also proposed rezoning the property, converting it from an R2 zone to an R1 zone, which would allow it to be developed as a low-density residential area, according to City Planner LaDana Hintz.

The property in question is on the east end of 2nd Avenue, southwest of the cemetery, and is part of a larger parcel, totaling 11.7 acres, that is otherwise already within city limits. The City Council approved Bullock’s intent to annex the land, meaning the annexation now heads to a public hearing on July 22. If the annexation is approved after the hearing, the property will become part of Boulder 30 days later.
