First Reading of Ordinance No. 054, 2003, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Streamside Annexation. BACKGROUND: This is a request for a 1000/( olunt . anne io appro imately 73.67 acres, located just over half a mile east of I-25 d Bout f V e =rive. 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. Streamside Annexation and Zoning complies with this standard since the property has 2869.70 feet of its total boundary of approximately 13,742.27 feet contiguous to the existing City limits. This meets the minimum 2290.38 feet required to achieve 1/6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Peterson Annexation, which is under review and will be processed simultaneously with this Streamside Annexation. 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: pn ' 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 FA1 - Farming in Larimer County. The requested zoning upon annexation is the Urban Estate District (UE). An assignment of UE zoning is consistent with the Streamside Planned Land Division (PLD), which is a County development application, currently under review, that encompasses the site. Part of the Streamside PLD application under review by the County is to rezone the property to PD — Planned Development. The County's PD zone functions similarly to the forme PU z ei th i at d nsity and intensity restrictions were determined on a site s' ciflc s. I h ca o amside PLD, the gross density proposed is 1.82 dwelling uni per act and t ensity p oposed is 2.07 dwelling units per acre. The annexation of this property will allow the building permits to be issued under the City's jurisdiction. During the review of the County development application for Streamside PLD, City staff worked closely with the applicant to ensure that the application would be developed in accordance with the City's floodplain regulations for the Boxelder Creek floodplain. Annexation of the Streamside PLD prior to the issuance of building permits gives the City the authority to enforce the County's development approval, in particular, the adherence to the applicable floodplain regulations For clarification, the difference in the residential enst y pe `-tted within the County's FA1 — Farming zone district and the Ctt 's Utbar�ES to zone di trict is as follows: FA1 — Farming (Existing County Zoning). Maximum density is limited to one lot per 100,000 square feet (2.3 acres). 100,000 square feet can cluster these lots in a"Conservation Development" configuration so long as the total number of lots does not exceed the total allowed by dividing the total developable area. "Conservation Development" lots on septic systems can be no smaller than 2 acres. "Conservation Development" lots on public water and sewer systems are not required to meet minimum lot size requirements (except for the purpose of calculating density). PD — Planned Developmct (c�unt Zom Stre fide Final Plat Approval). This zone is intended to be used�wi�n k to agementlreas and is intended to give the flexibility needed to accommodate rban level dd lopment consistent with the municipalities master plans. On a case by case basis, the County Commissioners determine minimum lot sizes, densities and intensities of use based on any applicable IGA. UE — Urban Estate (Requested City Zoning). Maximum density shall not exceed an overall average density of 2 dwelling units per acre. Lot sizes shall be acre or larger unless they are clustered. Density within clustered portions of a development shall not exceed 5 units per acre. Cluster development shall set aside at least 50 percent of the total land area of the proposed development as private or public open space that is permanently preserved as open space. 1 DATE: ITEM NUMBER: I-25 SUB.AREA 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 reference to the I-25 Sub Area Plan. City Plan Princjple-bU- tatQss: . q&- ci iq�subarea planning efforts will follow adoptioof the leOdivid it PIP. n esY olicies which tailor City Plan's city-wide pers tive to n tghborhdistricts,corridors and edges." City Plan Policy LU-4.5 states: "The following areas have been identified as priority for future subarea planning: I-25 Corridor Mountain Vista East Mulberry Fossil Creek Reservoir Area" C. U-E Zoning within the I-25 Sub a. The Final Dra of the I 5 Su rea-Plan ca for a mix of neighborhoods and densities. The Aell 1)ra tat the Urban 'state 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 Subarea 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 transition between the higher intensity commercial and industrial uses located adjacent to the I-25 highway and a larger lot residential development (2 '/2 acre lots)east of County Road 5." Both Peterson�an� d Stre side -1,-ons s ' f�he language of the U-E land use classificatiq�quotedbove stnal zo d property abuts the west side of the Peterson Anne x1on and rural nd lazgerlot 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 been adopted at this time. The Planning and Zoning Board and City Council schedule the Plan for consideration in the Spring of 2003. The Structure Plan identified the need to do additional planning for the I-25 corridor by designating the area as the 1-25 Special Study Corridor. DATE: pn ITEM NUMBER: 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 1997 version of the Structure Plan did not provide sufficient guidance for land use decision-making and that future land use considerations were anticipated. A. Request Section 2.9.4(�Q)(a) - ows o mg requ to be justified if the proposed request is con s nt wuh t e-Ci 's- mprehen ive 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 specific findings that: The existing City Plan and/or any related element thereof is in need of the proposed amendment; and The propose major plan amendment will promote the public a willnsis niche vision, goals, principles and policies o icy a t�•elemen .ereof. j 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." (2) Staff finds that the proposed Structure Plan amendment will promote the public welfare NAs t ying a lan use, configuration at the edge of the communit} that wtl provid fora ranss n between the higher intensity industrial u�l cat adja,�nt o the I-2 highway and the larger lot rural residential developmen n e 'ounty 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 neighborhoods, districts, corridors and edges.
