RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Resolution and the Ordinances on First Reading. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Resolution 2006-017 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the Sunrise Ridge Second Annexation. B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 038, 2006, Annexing Property Known as the Sunrise Ridge Second Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 039, 2006, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Sunrise Ridge Second Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. This is a 100%voluntary annexation and zoning of a property approximately 5.29 acres in size. The site is 5221 S. Strauss Cabin Road located approximately one-halfmile south of East Harmony Road on the west side of Strauss Cabin Road. Contiguity with the existing municipal boundary is gained along the entire northern boundary which is shared with Sunrise Ridge First Annexation. Contiguity is also gained along the entire west boundary which is shared with the Willow Brook Subdivision (Observatory Village). BACKGROUND The property is located within the Growth Management Area(GMA). According to the policies and agreements between the City ofFort Collins and Larimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the City of Fort Collins Growth Management Area (IGA), the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. The parcel gains the necessary one-sixth contiguity along the entire north and west property lines. Of the total perimeter boundary, the parcel has 49.88% contiguity with the City limits. This February 21, 2006 -2- Item No. 33 A-C substantially exceeds the required minimum of 16.66%(one-sixth). The parcel,therefore,complies with the requirements of the IGA and is eligible for annexation. This is a 100%voluntary annexation for a property located within the GMA. The property satisfies the requirement that no less than one-sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing City boundary. The recommended zoning of U-E, Urban Estate, is in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Structure Plan Map. Staff recommends the parcel be placed within the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. The Initiating Resolution was approved by City Council on January 17, 2006. On February 16, 2006,the Planning and Zoning Board considered annexation and zoning request. Since the printing of City Council packet materials precedes the Board's hearing, the result of the Board's action will be forwarded to City Council in a"read-before"memo. Consistency with Existing Policies: According to the policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County, contained in the amended(November 21,2000)IGA,the City will agree to consider for annexation property in the GMA 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 intent to annex properties within the GMA as expeditiously as possible consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Except 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: U-E; Existing Single Family Home (Pending Sunrise Ridge PDP) S: FA-1 (County); Existing large-lot, semi-rural single family detached residential E: FA-1 (County); Vacant—Fossil Creek Reservoir Inlet Ditch W: L-M-N; Existing Single Family Attached (Willowbrook Subdivision—marketed as Observatory Village) The parcel gains the necessary one-sixth contiguity along the entire north and west property lines. Of the total perimeter boundary, the parcel has 49.88% contiguity with the city limits. This substantially exceeds the required minimum of 16.66%(one-sixth). The parcel,therefore,complies with the requirements of the IGA 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 January 17, 2006, City Council approved a Resolution which accepted the annexation petition and established that the petition is in compliance with State statutes. February 21, 2006 -3- Item No. 33 A-C Zoning: The proposed zoning for the Sunrise Ridge Second Annexation is U-E,Urban Estate. This district is intended to be a setting for a predominance of low-density and large-lot housing. In addition,the zone provides for the Residential Cluster Plan Development option. The main purposes of this District are to acknowledge the presence of the many existing subdivisions which have developed in these uses that function as parts of the community and to provide additional locations for similar development,typically in transitional locations between more intense urban development and rural or open lands. The requested zoning of U-E complies with the City's Structure Plan Map and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. 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 uses in certain geographic locations of the City. The applicants are in agreement with this designation. Compliance with State Law: As mentioned,the annexation has 49.88%of its perimeter boundary contiguous with existing City limits which exceeds the required one-sixth as mandated by State law. Further, the parcel is found to have a community of interest with the City and the parcel is expected to urbanize shortly. Findings of Fact and Conclusion: In evaluating the request for the Sunrise Ridge Second Annexation and Zoning, staff makes the following findings of fact: A. The annexation of this parcel is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins, as contained in the amended Intergovennental Agreement- Growth Management Area. B. The parcel meets all criteria included in State law to qualify for annexation by the City of Fort Collins. C. The requested zone district, U-E, Urban Estate, is in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan(Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan)and the City Structure Plan Map. D. Staff recommends the parcel be placed within the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. E. On January 17, 2006, City Council approved the Resolution which accepted the annexation petition and determines that the petition is in compliance with State law. February 21, 2006 -4- Item No. 33 A-C Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation: On February 16, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the annexation and zoning request. The results of the Board's action will be forwarded to City Council under separate cover.
