Douglas Beard, President 3480 Egret Ct. Fort Collins, CO 80528 BACKGROUND The applicant has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of 15.65 acres. The property is located approximately one-halfmile south ofKechter Road and approximately one-quarter to one- half mile east of Ziegler Road. The property is undeveloped and is in the FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County. The requested zoning in the City of Fort Collins is UE—Urban Estate District. The surrounding properties are currently zoned as follows: N: LMN—Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood in the City(existing single- family residential) E: UE—Urban Estate District in the City(existing single-family residential) S: FA-1 Farming in Larimer County (vacant with one existing single family residence) W: LMN—Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood in the City and UE—Urban Estate District in the City(existing single-family residential) This is a 100%voluntary annexation. The property is located within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area. According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the IntergovernmentalAgreementfor the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area(Greater ManagementArea), the City agrees to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. This property gains more than the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from common boundaries with the entire north boundary which is shared with Fossil Lake Second Annexation; the entire east boundary which is shared with the Swift Addition Fossil Lake Annexation; and the western boundaries which are shared with the Fossil Lake PUD. The requested zoning for this annexation is the UE—Urban Estate District. There are several uses permitted in the District, subject to either administrative review or review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The City's adopted Structure Plan, a part of the Comprehensive Plan, suggests UE—Urban Estate neighborhoods would be appropriate in this location. Staff recommends this property be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District, which was established for the purpose of regulating signs for non-residential uses in certain geographical areas of the City that may be particularly affected by such signs because of their predominantly April 18, 2006 -3- Item No. 15 A-C residential use and character. A map amendment is necessary to place this property on the Residential Neighborhood Sign District Map. FINDINGS: 1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area (GMA). 2. The area meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for a voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins. 3. On March 7, 2006, the City Council approved a resolution that accepted the annexation petition and determined that the petition was in compliance with State law. The resolution also initiated the annexation process for the property by establishing the date,time and place when a public hearing would be held regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area. 4. The requested UE—Urban Estate District zoning is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan including the Structure Plan Map and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the annexation and requested zoning of UE—Urban Estate District. Staff recommends that this property be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. A map amendment is necessary to place this property on the Residential Neighborhood Sign District Map.
