EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is a request to annex and zone 28.9 acres located on the south side of Kechter Road, approximately 900 feet east of the intersection of South Timberline Road and Kechter Road. Kechter Crossing is adjoining and immediately west of a parcel of land owned by the City of Fort Collins for the City’s Affordable Housing Land Bank. This annexation is not associated with the Kechter Farm development, which is located southeast of the Kechter Crossing Annexation. The requested zoning for this annexation is the Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District (L-M-N), which is in compliance with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. The surrounding properties are existing residential land uses currently zoned FA-1 – Farming Zoning District in Larimer County to the north, south, and west. The City land bank property to the west is zoned L-M-N. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The proposed Resolution makes a finding that the petition substantially complies with the Municipal Annexation Act, determines that a hearing should be established regarding the annexation, and directs that notice be given of the hearing. The hearing will be held at the time of First Reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances on November 20, 2012; not less than thirty days of prior notice is required by State law. 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. The Kechter Crossing Annexation gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a common boundary with the City of Fort Collins Land Bank Property, also known as Kechter Annexation No. 3, thus satisfying the requirement that no less than one-sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing city boundary. The Kechter Crossing property was reviewed by Larimer County staff and has received final approval for development by the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners as a 75 lot residential neighborhood. The Petitioner and Larimer County coordinated and cooperated with the City of Fort Collins on development approvals in anticipation of this Petition for Annexation. The Kechter Crossing 75 lot single-family development is approved pursuant to a County Development Agreement dated September 18, 2012, by and between the Petitioner, Larimer County, and the City of Fort Collins. The City of Fort Collins is a party to the County Development Agreement in anticipation of this Petition for Annexation. City staff reviewed the Final Development Plan Documents for the Kechter Crossing property in anticipation of this Petition for Annexation. In addition to the County Development Agreement, the Petitioner and the City of Fort Collins have executed and recorded a City Development Agreement. The City Development Agreement also anticipates the timely annexation of the property into the City of Fort Collins. At the time of annexation, the City Development Agreement shall supersede the County Development Agreement. 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. October 16, 2012 -2- ITEM 15 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Board will conduct a public hearing on the annexation and zoning request on October 18, 2012. The Board’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council as part of the First Reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances on November 20, 2012. PUBLIC OUTREACH There was no public outreach for this Initiating Resolution as this Resolution simply accepts the Annexation Petition and provides a schedule for upcoming Council hearings with a schedule and notification requirements that comply with State Statutes.
