AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 23

Items Relating to the Kechter No. 2 Annexation and Zoning.
A. Resolution 2012-071 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the Kechter Annexation
No. 2.
B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 084, 2012, Annexing Property Known as the Kechter Annexation
No. 2.
C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 085, 2012, Amending and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the
Property Included in the Kechter Annexation No. 2.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As the Owner and Applicant, the City of Fort Collins has submitted a written petition requesting the annexation of three
sequential annexation tracts. Kechter Annexation No. 2 is the second of this series of sequential annexations, which
are as follows: Kechter Annexation No. 1 - 0.130 acres; Kechter Annexation No. 2 - 0.505 acres; Kechter Annexation
No. 3 - 18.644 acres; Kechter Annexation total area is 19.279 acres. The majority of the land within the Kechter
Annexation series includes 2313 Kechter Road, which is owned by the City of Fort Collins as part of the Land Bank
program. 2313 Kechter Road contains one single-family residence and is in the FA-1 – Farming Zoning District in
Larimer County. The Kechter Annexation does not create an enclave. There are no immediate plans to develop this
annexation area.
Kechter Annexation No. 2 is 0.505 acres and is located approximately 925 feet east of the intersection of South
Timberline Road and Kechter Road. The requested zoning for this annexation is the Low Density Mixed-Use
Neighborhood District (L-M-N). The surrounding properties are existing residential land uses currently zoned FA-1 –
Farming Zoning District in Larimer County to the north, south, east and west.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
This is a 100% voluntary annexation for a property located within the Growth Management Area (GMA). According
to policies and agreements contained in the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins 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.
Annexation No. 2 has 17.3% of its perimeter boundary contiguous with City limits from a common boundary with
Kechter Annexation No. 1, thus satisfying the requirement that no less than one-sixth of the perimeter boundary be
contiguous to the existing City boundary.
The surrounding land uses are as follows:
Zoning: Land Uses:
N: County FA-1 Blehm residential subdivision
S: County FA-1 Existing single family residence
E: County FA-1 Existing single family residence
This annexation request is in conformance with the State of Colorado Revised Statutes as they relate to
annexations, the City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan, and the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins
Intergovernmental Agreements.

E: County FA-1 Homestead residential community
W: County FA-1 Kechter Crossing – planned community
The requested zoning for this annexation is the Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District (L-M-N). 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 shall be arranged to form part of an
individual neighborhood.
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 that
may be particularly affected by such signs because of their predominantly residential use and character. A map
amendment will not be necessary to place this property on the Residential Neighborhood Sign District Map.
Findings
1. The property meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for a voluntary annexation to
the City of Fort Collins.
2. The requested placement into the Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District is consistent with the City
of Fort Collins Structure Plan Map and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan Map.
3. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the
City of Fort Collins contained in the Amended Intergovernmental Agreement – Growth Management Area.
4. On July 17, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution 2012-054 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.
5. The requested L-M-N, Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood Zoning District is in conformance with the
policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
6. The annexation and zoning request is in conformance with the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and the Ordinances on First Reading.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Board conducted a public hearing regarding the annexation and zoning request on July 19,
2012 and voted 5-1 to recommend approval of the annexation. The Board voted 5-1 to recommend that the property
be placed in the Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood Zone District. The minutes from the July 19, 2012 Planning
and Zoning Board Hearing are attached (Attachment 6).
