BACKGROUND
This in an annexation initiated by the City of Fort Collins. The area to be annexed is the entirety
of an enclave that has been surrounded by the City of Fort Collins for more than three years;
therefore, no annexation petition is required for this annexation.
In accordance with CRS 31-12-106 Annexation of Enclaves, Partially Surrounded Land, and
Municipally Owned Land,when any unincorporated area is entirely contained within the boundaries
of a municipality, the governing body may by ordinance annex such territory to the municipality
without complying with:
• CRS 31-12-104 Eli ibili ty.for Annexation; or
g
• CRS 31-12-105 Limitations; or
• CRS 31-12-108 Setting Hearing Date; or
• CRS 31-12-109 Hearing,
if said area has been so surrounded for a period of not less than three years; except that notice of the
proposed annexation ordinance shall be given by publication as provided by Section 31-12-108;
however, for notices of annexation petitions and resolutions initiating annexation proceedings, no
public hearing on the proposed annexation ordinance shall be required, and the first publication of
notice shall be at least thirty days prior to the adoption of the ordinance.
The property is located 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 Agreements, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA
when the property is eligible for annexation according to State Law. Pursuant to the
Intergovernmental Agreements the following sections are relevant to the Arbor South Second
Annexation and Zoning:
Section 8 -Annexations
Section 8.A. It is the City's intent to annex properties within the GMA as expeditiously
as possible.
Section 8.D. The City agrees to pursue involuntary annexation of any parcel that becomes
eligible for involuntary annexation.
February 20, 2007 -3- Item No. 21 A-B
This property complies with State regulations by meeting the requirement for 1/6 contiguity to
existing City limits. These properties are an enclave (completely surrounded by the City of Fort
Collins since 2002) and gain the required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits from common
boundaries with the Webster Farm Annexation (February, 2002) to the east, the H. H. - 36
Annexation(December, 1998)to the south,and the Ruff Annexation(September, 1998)to the north
and west.
Although the proposed enclave annexation is an involuntary action, the property owner of 5305
Ziegler Road has been contacted and has not expressed an objection to the annexation. Also, the
property owners of 5117 Ziegler Road have been contacted and have indicated that they have no
objection to the annexation.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: LMN in City of Fort Collins; existing residential (Harvest Park)
E: LMN in City of Fort Collins; existing school (Fossil Ridge High)
S: LMN in City of Fort Collins; existing residential (Sage Creek)
W: LMN in City of Fort Collins; existing residential (Harvest Park, Sage Creek)
The recommended zoning for this annexation is the LMN-Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood
Zoning District. There are numerous uses permitted in this 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 that a Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhoods designation is
appropriate in this location.
Staff is recommending that this property be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District.
A map amendment will not be necessary to include this property in the Residential Neighborhood
Sign District.
Findings
1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Latimer
County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Intergovernmental Agreements.
2. The area meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for an
involuntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins.

annexation process for this property by establishing the date, time, and place when a public
hearing will be held regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area.

considered by the City Council on February 20, 2007.
