FINDINGS and ANALYSIS: l ,•
1. Background:
This property is eligible for annexation according to the Colorado Annexation Act, which
requires 1/6 contiguity to the existing city limits. The Liebl Annexation complies with this
standard since the property has 347 feet of the total 1,947 contiguous to the existing city limits.
This meets the minimum 325 feet required to achieve 1/6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs
through a common boundary with the property to the east (across Timberline Road) of the parcel
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 (last amended November
2000), the City will pursue the annexation of land into the City of Fort Collins when such lands
are eligible for annexation accordmg t� Cr&orado R-vised S6tut (CRS).
The surrounding zoning and land uses.arq.as follow:
N: FAI(County)— Single Family Residential
S: FAI(County)— Single Family Residential
E: FAI(County)—Undeveloped
W: UE— Single Family Residential
2. Zoning and Analysis:
The property is currently zoned Farming (FA1) District in Latimer County. The City's adopted
Structure Plan, a part of City Plan, designates the site as Urban Estate.
Future development of the property will likely involve converting the existing single family
house into a bed and breakfast. Bed and Breakfasts which are limited to 6 beds are permitted as a

(TDU) program establishedthe plat. l ' eesigna s the area north of Fossil Creek
Reservoir, south of Kechter Rgene, lly e of Timberline Road as the receiving area of
the program. Essentially, each residential unit proposed as part of a residential project must
purchase that unit from a sending area, generally a 1/2 mile buffer around Fossil Creek
Reservoir. Larimer County Planning Department oversees the process of allocating the units.
Once the units are transferred, then the property is annexed into Fort Collins for development.
December 7, 2004 -3- Item No. 24 A-C
Since the Liebl Annexation does not anticipate additional residential units, an agreement has
been secured with Larimer County that would limit the future development of the property to
non-residential uses unless the applicant purchased additional units thought the TDU program.
