Summary
The annexation includes a 2.25-acre parcel at 8615 McKinley Ave E, 4.4-acres across two parcels at 8717 McKinley Ave E, and a 0.36-acre parcel at 8801 McKinley Ave E. All the properties are in unincorporated Pierce County, near the southwest corner of the City, adjacent to Council District 5. On February 21, 2025, the property owners filed a Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings. The applicants indicate they are seeking annexation to gain access to the City’s sewer system and to facilitate residential development on the two parcels located at 8717 McKinley Ave E.
The City Council, during the regularly scheduled City Council meeting, will conduct a public meeting regarding the request on April 15, 2025. During the public meeting, the City Council will accept testimony from the applicants as well as any community members wishing to provide comment on the proposed annexation. At the conclusion of the public meeting, the City Council will determine whether the City shall accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation application. Accepting the application, with or without modifications, does not commit the City Council to ultimately annexing the territory; it merely allows the proposal to move forward procedurally. If moved forward, the annexation proposal would go through a review process that can take several years.
You are not required to take any action, but if you wish to provide oral testimony and/or written comments.
