First Reading of Ordinance No. 052, 2003, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Peterson Annexation. BACKGROUND: This is a request for a 100% voluntary n_ n o f approximately 27.89 acres, located a half mile east of I-25 and south of i e Drive. This requested zone district is Urban Estate. A Structure Plan amendment is also requested to change the designation of the property from Rural Open Lands/ Stream Corridor to Urban Estate. This property is eligible for annexation according to CRS, requiring 1/6 contiguity to the existing city limits. Peterson Annexation and Zoning complies with this standard since the property has 1866.19 feet of its total boundary of approximately 10,643.30 feet contiguous to the existing City limits. This meets the minimum 1773.88 feet required to achieve 1/6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Kirschner Annexation (December 1993). The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area (UGA). According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area, the City will agree to DATE: ITEM NUMBER: consider annexation of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation according to state law. ZONING AND ANALYSIS: The property is currently zoned FAI - Farming in Larimer County. The requested zoning for this annexation is the Urban Estate District (UE). An assignment of UE zoning is consistent with the approved County subdivision (Peterson MID) for the property. The site is a large vacant property located between Industrial zoned property within the City Limits, and the Streamside Planned Land Division, which is a County development application, of Urban Estate type density, currently under reviewelocajed irectly ho th ite. lthough the developer is not currently pursuing development of prop y n at f this property will allow any future development of the site be revi ed u e he City's risdiction. I-25 SUBAREA PLAN: A. Regional I-25 Plan. The parcel is contained within the I-25 Sub Area Plan. This sub-area plan is a component of the I-25 Regional Communities Corridor Plan, which was adopted by the City Council in November of 2001. B. City Plan's refe�o t I-2 uPore PIyji_ic City Plan PrinctplkLU-4 sta : sub-area planning efforts will follow adoption of these City Plan Principles and Policies which tailor City Plan's city-wide perspective to individual neighborhoods, districts, corridors and edges." City Plan Policy LU-4.5 states: "The following areas have been identified as priority for future Subaru planning: • 1-25 Corridor • Mountain Vista • East Mulberry • Fossil C.eeMlservoirA ea" C. U-E Zoning wi 'n the I-25 Sub re JL The Final Draft of the I-25 Sub Area Plan calls for a mix of neighborhoods and densities. The Final Draft states: "The Urban Estate classification is intended to allow for choices of very low density and large-lot housing in the community, and to provide a physical transition between urban development and rural/open lands. Most of the undeveloped areas designated for residential development in the Sub Area Plan are classified as Urban Estate areas, that will have a maximum allowable density of two (2) dwelling units per acre. These areas provide for a be tween tween the higher intensity commercial and industrial uses located adjacent to the I-25 highway and a larger lot residential development (2 V2 acre lots)east of County Road 5." DATE: ITEM NUMBER: Both Peterson and Streamside Annexations satisfy the language of the U-E land use classification quoted above. Industrial zoned property abuts the West Side of the Peterson Annexation and rural and larger lot residential development exists east of the Streamside Annexation. Additionally, the Draft Land Use Plan for the I-25 Sub Area Plan identifies the property as Urban Estate. Therefore, the applicant has applied for U-E zoning in conformance with the Final Draft of the I- 25 Sub Area Plan. D. Status of the I-25 Sub Area Plan. The I-25 Sub Area-Plan has-not dSai at,�this time. The Planning and Zoning Board and Cit}" uncil h ul, forconsideration in the Spring of 2003. The ructure an id ti, theto do additional planning for the I-25 corridor by esignatingAh s the I-2 pecial Study Corridor. STRUCTURE PLAN AMENDMENT As mentioned, the Final Draft of the I-25 Sub Area Plan, which calls for U-E zoning, has not yet been considered by the Planning and Zoning Board nor adopted by the City Council. Since the Structure Plan Map indicates "Rural Open Lands/Stream Corridor and Employment," a Structure Plan amendment is part of this request. The Structure Plan Map also designates I-25 as a "Special Study Corridor" indicating that the 1199 version of the Structure Plan did not provide sufficient guidance for land use deci io maKt'ng nd At t ureland use considerations were anticipated. A. Request Section 2.9.4(H)(2)(a) allows a zoning request to be justified if the proposed request is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. (The Structure Plan is a component of the Comprehensive Plan.) According to Council Resolution 2000-140, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment may be approved if the City Council makes specifics findings that: • The exis ing City lan anPan elafe /element thereof is in need of the propos w amends- nt; aJL • The proposed major plan amendment will promote the public welfare and will be consistent with the vision, goals, principles and policies of City and the elements thereof. B. Staff Analysis of Structure Plan Amendment: (1) Staff finds that the Structure Plan is in need of Change because the final draft of the I-25 Sub Area Plan identifies that the property's designation should be changed from it's current designation of "Rural Open Lands / Stream Corridors" to a designation of"Urban Estate" DATE: n , 2UU3 � ITEM NUMBER: (2) Staff finds that the proposed Structure Plan amendment will promote the public welfare by specifying a land use configuration at the edge of the community that will provide for a transition between the higher intensity industrial uses located adjacent to the I-25 highway and the larger lot rural residential development in the County located east of County Road 5. (3) Staff finds that the Structure Plan amendment will be consistent with the vision, goals, principles and policies of City Plan because the principle and policy statements within City Plan specify that the I-25 subarea planning efforts will tailor City Plan's city-wide perspective to individual neighborhoodsidiStRict& co :'do an dge .
