THREE-MILE PLAN FOR THE
CITY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
I. INTRODUCTION
What is the Purpose of the Three-Mile Plan?
The Three-Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, is a policy document
that is adopted by the City Council pursuant to the provisions of the Colorado
Revised Statutes. This 2008 document updates the 2007 version of the Three
Mile Plan to reflect changes to supporting documents and plans. Section 31-12-
105 of the Colorado Revised Statutes requires that the City complete a plan for
the area within three miles in any direction from any point of the City's municipal
boundary. The language of the statute is as follows:
Prior to the completion of any annexation within the three-mile area,
the municipality shall have in place a plan for that area that generally
describes the proposed location, character, and extent of streets,
subways, bridges, waterways, waterfronts, parkways, playgrounds,
squares, parks, aviation fields, other public ways, grounds, open spaces,
public utilities, and terminals for water, light, sanitation, transportation, and
power to be provided by the municipality and the proposed land uses
for the area.
Not all parts of the three-mile area are subject to annexation by the City, since
some of those areas are outside the City's Growth Management Area, within
which City annexations will occur, and others are within the territorial limits of
other jurisdictions. Additionally, many of the plans that, in combination, comprise
the three-mile plan cover only a portion of the three-mile area. Therefore, a
particular area to be annexed by the City will likely be covered by some, but not
all, of the plans referenced herein.
