I. First Reading of Ordinance No. 156, 2008, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort
Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Gateway Third
Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado.
The proposed Resolutions make findings that the voluntary petition for annexation for the Gateway
Annexation, containing a total of approximately 256.3 acres, substantially complies with the
Municipal Annexation Act, the City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan (City Plan), the Latimer
County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements, the City of Fort Collins Land Use
Code, and the Harmony Corridor Plan. The Ordinances annex the property into the City limits and
place the property into the POL-Public Open Lands Zoning District.
BACKGROUND
Applicant and Property Owner: Fort Collins Capital Leasing Corporation
The City of Fort Collins acquired the property known as the Arapaho Bend Natural Area (the
"Natural Area"),containing a total of approximately 277.5 acres, in1995,and annexed the property
into the city limits as part of the Arapaho Bend First and Second Annexations in 1999. On October
14, 2008, the City transferred ownership of approximately 195.3 acres of the Natural Area to the
Fort Collins Capital Leasing Corporation("FCCLC"),as permitted under Section 23-111 of the City
Code. The Council then received from FCCLC an application to disconnect from the City the
portions of the Natural Area owned by the FCCLC, as permitted under a newly established section
of the City's Land Use Code(Section 2.12.6). Council then adopted Emergency Ordinance No. 130,
2008, which authorized the disconnection of portions of the Natural Area owned FCCLC, as well
as portions of Harmony Road, Strauss Cabin Road, and Kechter Road.
Later that same day, a petition was filed by FCCLC to re-annex the Natural Area, together with
Harmony Road; Strauss Cabin Road between Harmony and Kechter Roads; Kechter Road between
Strauss cabin Road and Interstate-25; and Interstate-25 from Kechter Road to Harmony Road. On
October 29, 2008, FCCLC filed an Amended petition with the City Clerk making certain changes
to the property to be annexed. The total size of the annexation, as now proposed, is approximately
256.3 acres. Portions of I-25 are still contained in the area,including the highway right-of-way from
about three-quarters(3/4)of a mile north of Harmony Road to about one(1)mile south of Harmony
Road. However, Kechter and Strauss Cabin Roads are no longer included in the annexation.
There is a portion of the Gateway Annexation(Harmony Road from Strauss Cabin Road to the east
side of 1-25)which overlaps a proposed annexation to the Town of Timnath known the Riverwalk
Annexation Number 1. The Colorado Annexation Act requires that, upon application of the City,
the District Court must hold an election of the landowners in the area claimed by both the City and
Timnath in order to determine which municipality can annex that area. The Act also authorizes the
City to proceed with the annexation of that portion of the Gateway Annexation that is not also
claimed by Timnath. Due to the size of the property and the limited amount of contiguity to the
existing city limits, the property is being annexed via three annexations.
December 2, 2008 -3- Item No. 19 A-1
The existing land uses and zoning of surrounding properties are as follows:
N: County - FA-1 Farming, undeveloped; and Strauss Cabin Park.
E: Town of Timnath RC, Regional Commercial, Zoning, Wal Mart Supercenter (under
construction); and City-owned open space east of I-25.
S: County - FA-I Fanning, undeveloped; and County C Commercial for small parcels both
north(owned by the State of Colorado)and south of Harmony Road(convenience store/gas
station and a landscaping business.)
W: County -FA-1 Farming, including about 160 acres of land owned by Larimer County; the
Meadow Heights Subdivision(23 lots);and City POL,Public Open Lands,District(Arapaho
Bend Natural Area)
Compliance with Existing Policies and State Law
The portions of the Arapaho Bend Natural Area included in the Gateway Annexation,as well as the
1-25 right-of-way, are located totally within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area (GMA).
According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Latimer County
contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Growth Management Area,the
City will agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible for
annexation according to State law. The Gateway First Annexation parcel gains its required 1/6
contiguity to existing City limits from a common boundaries with the Arapaho Bend First and
Second Annexations (January 1999) to the west of the parcel. The Gateway Second Annexation
parcel gains its required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits from a common boundary with the
Arapaho Bend Second Annexation to the west of the parcel. The Gateway Third Annexation parcel
gains its required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits from a common boundary with the Gateway
Second Annexation to the north of the parcel. The last two parcels are being annexed in a series
which is permitted by the Colorado Annexation Act,
The Initiating Resolution for the Gateway Annexation was considered by City Council on November
12, 2008 and adopted.
Proposed Zoning
The proposed zoning for the Gateway Annexation is the POL—Public Open Lands District, which
is consistent with the City Structure Plan and with recommendations from the adopted Harmony
Corridor Plan,an element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The POL District is for large publicly
owned parks and open lands which have community-wide emphasis or other characteristics which
warrant inclusion under this separate designation rather than inclusion in an adjoining neighborhood
or other zoning district designations.
Findings
In evaluating the proposal for the annexation and zoning of the Gateway Annexation, staff makes
the following findings of fact:
1. The Gateway Annexation is consistent with the policies and agreements between Latimer
County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement.
December 2, 2008 -4- Item No. 19 A-1
2. The Gateway Annexation meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify
for a voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins.
3. The requested POL — Public Open Lands District, is in conformance with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and City Structure Plan.
4. On November 12, 2008,the City Council adopted a resolution determining the annexation
process for this property that includes a public hearing regarding the readings of the
Ordinances annexing and zoning the area.
Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Board conducted a public hearing on the annexation and zoning requests
at their regular monthly meeting on November 20, 2008. The Board voted 6-0 (1 member absent)
to recommend approval of the annexation and requested POL, Public Open Lands Zoning District.
Draft minutes of the Board's meeting are attached.

Project: Gateway First, Second and Third Annexations, # 35-08, 35-08A and 35-08B
Project Description: This is a request to annex and zone approximately 256.3 acres known as the
Gateway Annexation. The proposed zoning for the annexation is the POL —
Public Open Lands, District.
Recommendation: Approval
Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence
Staff presentation:
Chief Planner Ken Waido reported this is a 100% voluntary request to annex approximately 256.3
acres in an area predominately in the northwest corner of Harmony & I-25. Most of the area is in the
Arapahoe Bend Natural Area. Portions of 1-25 are contained in the area to be annexed, including the
highway right-of way from about three-quarters (3/4) of a mile north of Harmony Road to about one (1)
mile south of Harmony Road.
The property will be annexed via three annexations, the Gateway First Annexation, the Gateway
Second Annexation, and the Gateway Third Annexation. The Gateway Second and Third Annexations
will be considered concurrently which is permitted by the State of Colorado Revised Statutes, which
requires that 1/6 of the boundary of each annexation to be contiguous to existing city limits.
Public Input:
William Welch,1224 Twin Oak Court, Fort Collins, represents CWH Properties and Connell Resources
which owns the east side of most of the proposed annexation from County Road 36 going north about
2/3 of the way to Harmony Road. He wanted to ask why this is being done and what are the impacts
of having a piece of property annexed as public open lands adjacent to an industrial area that's going
to be there for quite some time. Waido said they are not annexing any of the CWH property just the
1-25 right-of-way. All the property being annexed is in the City's Growth Management Area boundary
and according to the City's agreement with Larimer County will be annexed once a petition is
received. The basis for zoning of public open lands (POL) is the City's Comprehensive Plan (aka City
Plan). The Structure Plan Map (adopted by City Council) shows the area to be a natural area as part
of the Timnath/Windsor/Fort Collins separator. It is true, that Timnath has their own plan and they
have designated the areas east of 1-25 different than what the City' Structure Plan shows, but the
basis for the City of Fort Collins's zoning is the Structure Plan.
Chair Schmidt commented that last month the Board recommended the annexation of another public
open land. At that time the Board was informed the City is going through a series of annexations as a
"clean-up" measure so that City public open lands located in the County and become available
Planning & Zoning Board
November 20, 2008
Page 3
(contiguous to city limits) will be annexed per the Larimer County/City of Fort Collins
intergovernmental agreement (IGA).
Welch said with an operating gravel pit and an asphalt plant that will be on adjacent property for ten to
fifteen years; what does this do that the owner needs to be concerned about? Also, whenever he's
viewed the City's Growth Management Area (GMA) Welch said, it all seemed to stop west of 1-25 not
the east right-of-way. Waido said that is not true, the City's GMA boundary is the dark area on the
map displayed on the overhead projection screen and it shows the 1-25 east right-of-way as the
boundary of the GMA. Chair Schmidt said she's presuming the properties that Mr. Welch is
concerned about are not in the City's GMA. At this present time, this annexation would not really
impact their properties.
Welch asked what about access control issues into that area—historic use, use by rights, etc. on the
interstate system. Welch asked if we were telling him that Fort Collins does not have the ability to
control, manage or change any of the existing agreements. Waido said that is correct; access is a
function of what the State Highway Department would permit off of their frontage roads.
Welch asked if there were changes to the use on that property, would there be a need to go to the
City of Fort Collins and having impact fees applied. Waido said there are state laws that require the
County to refer any development proposal within two miles of the City limits for review and comment
so the City would have the opportunity if there are any development plans for this property to
comment.
Welch asked if they operate in unincorporated Larimer County and now have their access points into
annexed land in Fort Collins, will they have fees or tariffs applied. Waido said the City collects fees at
the time a building permit is issued. Since the property would not be obtaining a building permit from
the City for a development outside the city limits, there would be no mechanism to collect impact fees.
Deputy City Attorney Paul Eckman said with regard to access control plans, he didn't know if there is
an access control plan for that frontage road between CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation)
and Larimer County. Welch said no--they basically have historic access because of its prior use as a
farm field. Eckman said if there is no existing access plan, should it come into the City than it would
continue the same unless CDOT said there needs to be an access control plan. Then it would be
between CDOT and the City. He would think there would be a chance for input by affected parties.
Welch asked if the City decided it wanted their property in the GMA what would that process be.
Waido said the IGA between the City and Larimer County requires a joint action by both bodies to
make any amendments to the GMA boundary. Welch asked how the landowner participates in that
process. Waido said it's a public review process—the Planning & Zoning Board conducts a public
hearing; the Larimer County Planning Commission conducts public hearings; and elected officials
(Larimer County Commissions and City Council) would conduct public hearings.
Welch asked if Waido would speculate if that would happen. Waido said no.
Eckman added that if a property owner wanted to be in the Fort Collins GMA, they could make that
suggestion for consideration. Waido said yes, they could make that request and the process to
amend the GMA would be as he just described.
Welch said that knowing that their property is in an industrial zone nags on his mind about the
adjacent property being open space. He didn't quite understand if there is an alternative zoning
Planning & Zoning Board
November 20, 2008
Page 4
designation that is more appropriate to that area. Highway right-of-way does not seem like open
space to him.
Chair Schmidt said that once a property is annexed they could still apply for a change in zoning at a
future point in time. Welch asked if it's a City owned property, than it's the City that would need to
make that request. Waido said that's correct.
Eckman added the LUC (Land Use Code) does say that zone district lines, unless they are clearly
shown as a property line, would be down the middle of a street. (That's not to say an interstate
highway is like a street.) Eckman said he would think that when that land is annexed; it would be a
good idea for the City to coordinate the zoning of the street out in front of it with the zoning of the land.
If some how the GMA should change, they sought to be annexed (were annexed and zoned
industrial), it would seem silly then to have the street on the zoning map showing a different zone than
the adjacent property.
Waido provided an example of another option. He said when the City changed the zoning of what
was the former Resource Recovery Farm (at Prospect & 1-25); it was put into the Public Open Lands
(POL) zone. However, when the property exchange with CSURF (Colorado State University
Research Foundation) came about, it was rezoned to E (Employment.) Because the initial POL zone
district included the right of way of 1-25 to the east side, when the E rezoning took place it was
primarily for the CSURF property and there was a green strip of POL zone along the interstate
highway. He said it could work both ways.
Welch said that in the notice to adjacent property owners, it said it was a 100% voluntary request to
annex. Since it is unincorporated Larimer County and CDOT, he did not understand the statement
"voluntary request". Waido said the property owner is actually the Fort Collins Capital Leasing
Corporation (FCCLC). Eckman said FCCLC is the applicant whose land is not streets, highways, or
roads.
Jay Stoner, 1200 Wooded Creek Court, Fort Collins. He has several questions relating to how the
Arapahoe Bends Natural Area—a publicly owned open space was transferred to a private corporation.
He said the process in how that happened is interesting and expeditious. Same piece of property:
take it out, change ownership, than put it back in again. The question with all that background
information is what is the value or benefit to the citizens of Fort Collins that you're annexing 1-25 and
zoning it as open space?
Waido said we're annexing it because its' in our GMA boundary and it's our agreement with Larimer
County to annex parts of the GMA when there is a petition for annexation. The petition recently
received from the Fort Collins Capital Leasing Corporation is what is under review tonight. Staff is
recommending it be zoned POL based on the City's Structure Plan. The Structure Plan Map shows
the Arapahoe Bend area is designated as a natural area; the rest of the "green' area is part of the Fort
Collins/Timnath/Windsor separator. A part of the interstate is also colored "green" and is part of that
separator so that is why we are recommending that it be zoned POL as well.
Stoner asked why is it important to annex 1-25 along that stretch. Waido said because it was included
in the petition and it's our agreement to annex property that's petitioned within our GMA boundary into
the city limits.
City Attorney Steve Roy said what Mr. Stoner is probably getting at is the question of why was it
disconnected to begin with and why now is it being re-annexed. Stoner said yes, that is a question he
has. Roy said the City has been pretty open about the fact that this property was disconnected and is
Planning & Zoning Board
November 20, 2008
Page 5
being re-annexed to set up a conflicting annexation with the Timnath Riverwalk annexation and
essentially the parts of Harmony Road that are overlapped by this annexation will be the subject of an
election under the annexation laws as to whether that part of Harmony Road will be annexed
ultimately into the City of Fort Collins or the Town of Timnath. So the annexation of all of this property
has a dual purpose. Obviously the natural area, being within the GMA, should be in the city limits and
it's being re-annexed in order to accomplish that. It's being accompanied by rights-of-way.
Roy said the bigger picture here is there are competing annexations of portions of this annexation
between the Town of Timnath and the City of Fort Collins. As he said, part of that will be determined
by an election. It's also all going to be the subject of mediation that Timnath has agreed to and which
Fort Collins has requested. This response by Fort Collins to the Timnath annexation was prompted
by Fort Collins concern that the Riverwalk annexation is within the Fort Collins GMA. All of the issues
underlying these competing annexations will be addressed and resolved through the mediation that
would be undertaken by the two communities.
Stoner asked about the conflicting annexations being resolved by election. Who votes in the election?
Roy said he'd first like to say that the Town of Timnath is represented by counsel so as the City
Attorney for Fort Collins; he's giving his opinion on all of these issues with the understanding that
Timnath and its town council may or may not agree with them. The State annexation laws provide
that the owners of the property that is claimed by both municipalities vote in the election.
