RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Resolution and the Ordinances on First Reading. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Resolution 2006-064 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the Johnston Annexation. B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 101, 2006, Annexing Property Known as the Johnston Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 102, 2006, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Johnston Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. This is a 100% voluntary annexation and zoning of a property approximately 36.82 acres in size. The site is 6111 S.Timberline Road located approximately one-half mile south of Kechter Road on the west side of Timberline Road. Contiguity with the existing municipal boundary is gained along the entire south boundary which is shared with the Keating Annexation(Linden Park Subdivision). Contiguity is also gained along the entire east boundary which is shared with Westchase Annexation Number One and along the entire west boundary which is shared with the Union Pacific Railroad Fourth Annexation. BACKGROUND The property is located within the Growth Management Area. According to the policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the City of Fort Collins Growth Management Area, the City will agree to consider h MA when the roe is eligible for annexation according to State annexation of property in the G P P Y property rtY gr g law. June 6, 2006 -2- Item No. 25 A-C The parcel gains the necessary one-sixth contiguity along the entire south, east and west property lines. Of the total perimeter boundary, the parcel has 59% 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 Intergovernmental Agreement — Growth Management Area and is eligible for annexation. This is a 100% voluntary annexation for a property located within the Growth Management Area. 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 M-M-N Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood and L-M-N, Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood, 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 considered by City Council on April 18,2006 and approved. On May 18,2005,the Planning and Zoning Board took two specific actions in making their recommendation to City Council: 1. The Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the annexation. 2. The Board then voted 7-0 to recommend the property be placed in the Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood and Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood zone districts. 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 P P Y � g g 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: FA-1 (County); Rural Residential S: L-M-N; Existing single family subdivision(Linden Park) E: L-M-N; Existing single family subdivision(Westchase) W: R-L; Existing railroad tracks, golf course and single family(Southridge Greens) The parcel gains the necessary one-sixth contiguity along the entire south, east and west property lines. Of the total perimeter boundary, the parcel has 59% contiguity with the City limits. This substantially exceeds the required minimum of 16.66%(one-sixth). The parcel,therefore,complies June 6, 2006 -3- Item No. 25 A-C 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 April 18, 2006, City Council approved a Resolution which accepted the annexation petition and established that the petition is in compliance with State statutes. ZONING A. Requested Zoning—Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood The proposed zoning for the easterly 16.94 acres of the Johnston Annexation is M-M-N, Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood. The Land Use Code describes this zone district as follows: "Purpose.The Medium Density Neighborhood District is intended to be a setting for concentrated housing within easy walking distance of transit and a commercial district. Secondarily, a neighborhood may also contain other moderate-intensity complementary and supporting land uses that serve the neighborhood. These neighborhoods will form a transition and a link between surrounding neighborhoods and the commercial core with a unifying pattern of streets and blocks. Buildings, streets, bike and walking paths, open spaces and parks will be configured to create an inviting and convenient living environment. This District is intended to function together with surrounding low density neighborhoods (typically the L-M-N zone district) and a central commercial core (typically an N-C or C-C zone district).The intent is for the component zone districts to form an integral, town-like pattern of development, and not merely a series of individual development projects in separate zone districts." B. Requested Zoning—Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood The proposed zoning for the westerly 19.87 acres of the Johnston Annexation is L-M-N, Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood. The Land Use Code describes this zone district as follows: "Purpose. The Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District is intended to be a setting for a predominance of low density housing combined with complementary and supporting land uses that serve a neighborhood and are developed and operated in harmony with the residential characteristics of a neighborhood.The main purpose of the District is to meet a wide range of needs of everyday living in neighborhoods that include a variety of housing choices that invite walking to gathering places, services and conveniences, and that are fully integrated into the larger community by the pattern of streets,blocks, and other linkages.A neighborhood center provides a focal point, and attractive walking and biking paths invite residents to enjoy the center as well as the small neighborhood parks.Any new development in this District June 6, 2006 -4- Item No. 25 A-C shall be arranged to form part of an individual neighborhood. Typically, Low Density Neighborhoods will be clustered around and integral with a Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood with a Neighborhood Commercial Center at its core. For the purposes of this Division, a neighborhood shall be considered to consist of approximately eighty (80) to one hundred sixty (160) acres, with its edges typically consisting of major streets, drainageways, irrigation ditches, railroad tracks and other major physical features." Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan As mentioned,both the M-M-N and L-M-N zone districts comply with both Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan and the City's Structure Plan Map. The M-M-N zone would be extended to the north onto the abutting property to form a larger district that is intended to support a future Neighborhood Center (N-C zone) to the north on the Hansen Property. The L-M-N zone would match both the Linden Park zoning to the south and future zoning to the north. All the properties west of Timberline Road are planned to support an urban level of development versus areas east of Timberline Road and areas north of Fossil Creek Reservoir. According to the Plan: "FC-LUF- 3 Mixed-Use Neighborhoods. These neighborhoods will consist of a mix of housing types near parks, schools, and a neighborhood center. The density will be a minimum overall average of either 3 or 5 units per acre, with an overall maximum of 8 dwelling units per acre, and a maximum of 12 units per acre for any single phase. " "FC-LUF—4 Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood" A medium density mixed use neighborhood will be located in conjunction with a neighborhood commercial center on the west side of Timberline Road approximately 1.5 miles south of Harmony Road. This neighborhood will be approximately 20 acres in size, shaped to generally wrap around the Neighborhood Commercial Center to form a p g Y P gh transition and a link to surrounding mixed-use neighborhoods. The density will be a minimum overall average of 12 units per acre,with a minimum of 7 units per acre for any single phase in a multiple-phase plan. Buildings will be limited to 2.5 stories in height." FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSION In evaluatingthe request for the Johnston Annexation and Zoning, staff makes the following q g, g 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 Intergovernmental Agreement— Growth Management Area. B. The parcel meets all criteria included in State law to qualify for annexation by the City of Fort Collins. June 6, 2006 -5- Item No. 25 A-C C. The requested zone districts,M-M-N,Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood,and L-M- N, Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood, are in conformance with two elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan(City Plan). These elements are the Structure Plan Map and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. D. Staff recommends the parcel be placed within the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. E. On April 18,2006,City Council passed a Resolution which accepted the annexation petition and determined that the petition is in compliance with State law. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION On May 18, 2006, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 7-0 to recommend annexation into the municipal boundary and inclusion into the Residential Sign District. It also voted 7-0 to recommend placement into the Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood and the Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood zone districts. ATTACHMENTS 1. Vicinity Map 2. Proposed Zoning 3.
