Jones SUBJECT: Resolution 2001-129 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings for the Coyote Ridge First Annexation. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This is a request for a 100%voluntary annexation. The site is approximately 2.5 acres of publicly- owned property located south of Harmony Road, north of Trilby Road, within the South Taft Hill Road right-of-way. The recommended zoning is Public Open Lands(POL),and it is adjacent to the Cathy Fromme Natural Area Second Annexation which is also proposed to be Public Open Lands. This annexation is one piece of a larger series of annexations. Together, the Cathy Fromme First and Second Annexations and the Coyote Ridge First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Annexations will create an enclave approximately 1,781 acres in size. The majority of the enclave, approximately 1,621 acres, will be within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area (UGA). A small portion of the enclave, approximately 160 acres, is located outside the UGA. The creation of this enclave provides the City with the authority to annex this portion of urbanized county land once the enclave has existed for at least three years. Please refer to the attached map titled "Cathy Fromme and Coyote Ridge Annexations" for a diagram of all the annexations together, and the affected enclave area. BACKGROUND: This property is eligible for annexation according to the Colorado Annexation Act,which requires 1/6 contiguity to the existing city limits. The Coyote Ridge First Annexation complies with this standard since the property has 620.02 feet of its total boundary of approximately 2,770.90 feet contiguous to the existing city limits. This meets the minimum 461.82 feet required to achieve 1/6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Cathy Fromme Natural Area First Annexation and the Cathy Fromme Natural Area Second Annexation. The property is located just outside 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 (last amended November 2000), the City may annex property outside the UGA, provided the property is eligible for annexation according to Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS). DATE: October 2,2001 2 ITEM NUMBER: 21 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 consistent with the Structure Plan designation of Rural/Open Lands and Stream Corridors. The Planning and Zoning Board Hearing The Planning and Zoning Board recommended adoption of the requested annexation and zoning on April 5, 2001 by a vote of 5-2.
