Summary:
In accordance with K.S.A. 12-520(a)(7), Heartland Coca-Cola Bottling Company LLC (the “Petitioner”) has submitted a petition for annexation of approximately 27.25 acres of land (Exhibit A) located southwest of W. 167th Street and S. Hedge Lane (ANX24-0001), which lies contiguous with the corporate boundaries of the City of Olathe. The property is within the City of Olathe’s Growth Area and is designated on the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan as Industrial Area.
On October 5, 2022, the City entered into an Annexation Agreement with the Petitioner. In the Agreement, the Petitioner agreed to request annexation of this tract within 12 months of acquisition. The Petitioner acquired the property in July 2023. The tract adjoins the City and the parcel where Petitioner is building the first phase of its bottling facility. The Petitioner desires to voluntarily annex the tract into the City so that it can file development applications in the future once it is ready to expand
