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 o s ip o ro ' atel 5. res of the Natural Area to the
Fort Collins Capital Leasing CCdb
C C' a e 'tte under Section 23-111 of the City
Code. The Council then recFCC lica to disconnect from the City the
portions of the Natural Area oC C, permitt 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 ofI-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 xati H. fr Strauss Cabin Road to the east
side of 1-25)which overlaps a opos ex 'o o f Timnath known the Riverwalk
Annexation Number 1. The A rado exati quir at, upon application of the City,
the District Court must hold cti he d ers in 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, n n , al Mart Supercenter (under
construction); and City caned o n sp t I-
S: County - FA-1 Farmin undev m ped; d ounty C omercial for small parcels both

station and a landscaping business.)
W: County -FA-1 Farming, including about 160 acres of land owned by Latimer 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
I-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 Larimer 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 limi Gao ' s the Arapaho Bend First and
Second Annexations (January 99) te c e Gateway Second Annexation
parcel gains its required 1/6 c tiguity t limits om acommon boundary with the
Arapaho Bend Second Annexati cel. ateway 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 sep si r cin ' in an adjoining neighborhood
or other zoning district design ons.
