proposed that will add such businesses to the permitted use lists in Article 4, add
definitions in Article 5, and prohibit such businesses from the “addition of permitted
use” process.

Staff: Peter Barnes
3. Proposed Amendment to the City Structure Plan and Zoning for Phase Four of
the Southwest Enclave Annexation
This is a request to amend the City Structure Plan map and zone Phase Four of the
Southwest Enclave Annexation. Phase Four consists of approximately 400 acres in
subdivisions between South Taft Hill Road and South Shields Street, both north and
south of West Trilby Road. The City Structure Plan map change represents a Minor
Amendment to finalize the Growth Management Area boundary for the Wildflower
expansion area. The requested zone districts for Phase Four are Urban Estate (UE),
Rural Lands (RUL), and Public Open Lands (POL).
Applicant: City of Fort Collins, Planning
Staff: Pete Wray
4. Urban Agriculture Phase Two Code Changes
Based on Council direction during the hearings for the Urban Agriculture: Phase One
Code changes, staff has conducted research and significant public outreach on two
issues related to urban agriculture:
1. Begin removing barriers to year-round production by allowing hoop houses to be
exempt from Building Code requirements, and
2. Develop standards for the raising of farm animals in the zone districts where they
are currently allowed (Urban Estate, Rural Lands, Residential Foothills, and River
Conservation Zone Districts).
Staff is proposing amendments to the Land Use Code that exempt hoop houses from
Building Code requirements, add hoop houses to the list of accessory structures
allowed in the Code, and require urban agriculture licensees to locate hoop houses on
their site plans. Regarding standards for the raising of farm animals, staff is not
proposing amendments to the Land Use or City Codes at this time.
Applicant: City of Fort Collins
Staff: Ex/Houghteling
