First Reading of Ordinance No. 097, 2003, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Swift Addition to Fossil Lake P.U.D. Annexation. BACKGROUND: This is a request for a 100%voluntary annexation and zoning of approximately 55 acres of privately owned property known as the Fossil Lake P.U.D. — Swift Addition, which is a County-approved development in the Fossil Creek Resoie fMighboffiood a. The recommended zoning is a combination of the LMN—LU t Zoning District, and the UE— Urban Estate Zoning District. This property is eligible for annexation according to CRS, requiring 1/6 contiguity to the existing city limits. This annexation application complies with this standard since the property has 1042 feet of its total boundary of approximately 6107 feet contiguous to the existing city limits. This exceeds the minimum 1018 feet required to achieve 1/6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Fossil Lake Annexation No. 1 and the Fossil Lake Annexation No. 2. The property is located within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area(GMA)and in the Fossil Creek Reservoir Planning Area. The Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan(jointly adopted by the City and County) specifies that development applications for lands within the Fossil Lake Reservoir Planning Area that are south of Kechter Road and east of Timberline Road will be processed by the County in accordance with Larimer County Development Standards for the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area in the Fort Collins GMA, and that the City will not annex the land until such development DATE: July ITEM NUMBER: applications have obtained final plat approval and the transaction of certain Transferred Development Units (TDUs) has taken place. The final plat approval of the Fossil Lake P.U.D. — Swift Addition was granted by Larimer County, and became effective on March 26, 2003. The initial grading work has commenced. The goal of the City and County is to time the annexation so that all building permits will be issued under the City's jurisdiction. Staff is recommending that 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 which may be particularly affected by such signs because of its predominantly residential use and character. A map amendment is necessary to place this property within the Residential NeighbCoodflot-q—.t, VZONING AND ANALYSIS The property is currently zoned FA-1 Farming District in Latimer County. The requested zoning for this annexation is the LMN - Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood District and the UE — Urban Estate District. The City's adopted Structure Plan, a part of the Comprehensive Plan, suggests that this combination of Low Density Mixed Use Residential Neighborhood and Urban Estate is appropriate for this location.
