requirements of the Intergovernmental Agreement— Growth Management Area and is eligible for

compliance with the City's Co n and East Mulberry Corridor
Plan. Staff recommends the parcel be placed within the Residential Neighborhood Sign District.
The original Initiating Resolution was considered by City Council on May 3, 2005 and has since
lapsed. The request was re-initiated February 7, 2006 and approved. On May 19, 2005 and again
on July 21, 2005, the Planning and Zoning Board considered both the annexation and zoning
request.
Consistency with Existing Policies
According to the policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Latimer County,
contained in the amended (November 21, 2000) Intergovernmental Agreements — Growth
Management Area (IGA), the City will agree to consider for annexation property in the UGMA
when such property is eligible for annexation according to state law. According to Section 8A of
the IGA, as amended:
"It is the City's inten anne top apiniYthG A as expeditiously as
possible consistent with s A as provided in Section
8(B), the City agrees to consider the annexation of any parcel or parcels of land
located within the GMA which are eligible for voluntary annexation pursuant to the
provisions of Title 31, Article 12 Colorado Revised Statutes."
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: I— Industrial (County); Burlington Northern Railroad tracks and switching yard
S: I — Industrial (County); Existing Industrial Park (For Collins Community Airpark
Subdivision)
E: L-M-N; Existing Dry Creek Mobile Home Park
E: I — Industrial (County); Existing Industrial Park (Industrial Business Park
International P.U.D.)
W: I—Industrial (County); Existing Industrial Park(Fort Collins Business Center, Fort
Collins Industria Foainp ' ark Subdivision)
The parcel gains the necessary a-sixth the p ions of the west and east property
lines. Of the total perimeter bo , th530 tiguity with the City limits. This
exceeds the required minimum of 16.66% (one-sixth). The parcel, therefore, complies with the
requirements of the Intergovernmental Agreement— Growth Management Area and is eligible for
annexation.
One of the stated intents of the Agreement is to have urban development occur within the City in
order that the provision of urban level services by the County would be minimized. This is a 100%
voluntary annexation. The parcel is not an enclave. On February 7, 2006, City Council approved
March 21, 2006 -3- Item No. 25 A-C
a Resolution which accepted the annexation petition and established that the petition is in
compliance with State statutes.
Zoning
A. Employment Zone Dis ct
OPY'
The proposed zoning for the Airpark Village Annexation is E, Employment. As stated in the Land
Use Code:
(A) Purpose. The Employment District is intended to provide locations for a variety of
workplaces including light industrial uses,research and development activities,offices and
institutions. This District also is intended to accommodate secondary uses that complement
or support the primary workplace uses, such as hotels, restaurants, convenience shopping,
child care and housing.
Additionally,the Employment District is intended to encourage the development of planned
office and business parks;to promote excellence in the design and construction of buildings,
outdoor spaces, transportation facilities and streetscapes; to direct the development of
workplaces consistent with the availability of public facilities and services; and to continue
the vitality and quality o a ' t rP
i i rhoods.
B. Mixed-Use Dwelling its—C itio g
At the September 6, 2005 Council consideration of the Amendment to the East Mulberry Corridor
Plan,the petitioners voluntarily offered to restrict the extent of potential housing types to Mixed-use
Dwelling Units only. These units are defined as:
"Dwelling, mixed-use shall mean a dwelling that is located on the same lot or in the
same building as a nonresidential use."
Citizen input during consideration of the plan amendment identified a potential issue with
neighborhood compatibility. Since Employment zoning offers a more diverse range housing types
than Industrial zoning,the concern was that multi-family housing complexes could be constructed.
Such projects could potentially lead to complaints regarding the existing helicopter operations that
are located in the immediate vicinity. This self-imposed restriction was offered as a mitigation
technique to promote neighborhood compatibility by allowing only one particular type of housing
product within the annexation CdSign
C. Residential Neighborh 'strict P Y
In addition, staff recommends the parcel be placed within the Residential Neighborhood Sign
District which was created for the purpose of regulating signs for non-residential land uses in certain
geographic locations of the City. Although it may appear incongruous to apply the Neighborhood
Sign District to parcels in the Employment zone,the applicant has stated that mixed-use residential
dwelling units would be a key component of any future development plan.
March 21, 2006 -4- Item No. 25 A-C
Compliance with State Law
As mentioned, the annexation has 25.53%of its perimeter boundary contiguous with existing City
limits which exceeds the require oixa]pb at . Further, the parcel is found
to have a community of intere ithce pected to urbanize shortly.
East Mulberry Corridor Plan d
The East Mulberry Corridor Plan (EMCP) was adopted September 17, 2002. The Plan shows two
scenarios for the Downtown Airpark. One assumes continuing operations as an airport while the
other indicates redevelopment. The redevelopment scenario is referred to in the EMCP as the
"Framework Overlay Plan" and calls for combination of Industrial (60%) and Employment(40%)
zoning to be placed on the Airpark property.
On September 6, 2005, Council amended the "Framework Overlay Plan" of the East Mulberry
Corridor Plan by Resolution 2005-098. This amendment changed the recommended zoning of the
Airpark from a mix of Industrial (60% - northwest portion) and Employment (40% - southeast
portion) to Employment(100%).
Findings of Fact and Conclus'
In evaluating the request for th irpark illag xation Zoning,staffmakes the following
findings of fact:

between Latimer County and the City of Fort Collins, as contained in the
amended Intergovernmental Agreement— Growth Management Area.

by the City of Fort Collins.
C. The requested zone district, E, Employment, is in conformance with the

district such thCd

housing type ti n the a n aryE. Staffrecommenarc a thin esidential Neighborhood
Sign District based on the applicant's statements that mixed-use dwelling
units will comprise a key feature of future development.

the annexation petition and determines that the petition is in compliance with
State law.
