DATE: October 2, 2001
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Troy W. Jones
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2001-124 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings for
the Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area Second Annexation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is a request for a 100% voluntary annexation. The site is approximately 24.74 acres of
publicly owned property located south of Trilby Road, cast of Timberline Road, north of
Carpenter Road, and west of I-25. The recommended zoning is Public Open Lands (POL).
CKGROUND:
The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area (UGA). According to
policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County, contained in the
Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area, the City will annex
property within the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation according to Colorado
Revised Statutes (CRS). This property is eligible for annexation according to CRS, requiring 1/6
contiguity to the existing city limits. The Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area Annexation
complies with this standard since the property has 823 feet of its total boundary of approximately
4099 feet contiguous to the existing city limits. This meets the minimum 683 feet required to
achieve 1/6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Greenstone
Annexation(January 1993).
The property is currently zoned AP-Airport District in Larimer County. The requested zoning
for this annexation is the Public Open Lands District (POL). The City's adopted Structure Plan, a
part of City Plan, designates the site as Rural/Open Lands and Stream Corridors. A zoning
designation of POL is therefore consistent with the Structure Plan designation.
The Planning and Zoning Board Hearing
The Planning and Zoning Board voted 5-0 on July 19, 2001, to recommend annexation of the
property.
