The property is largely undeveloped except for the Fort Collins Motorsport retail operation (motorcycles, ATV's, snowmobiles, and ski-doos) at the southwest comer of the site. It is currently in the C — Commercial Zoning District in Larimer County. The requested zoning for this annexation is C — Commercial. The surrounding properties are zoned C - Commercial in Larimer County to the south and east and C — Commercial in the City to the west and the north. This is a 100% voluntary annexation. The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. 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 agree to consider annexation of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State Law. This property complies with State regulations by meeting the requirement for 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits. This occurs through common boundaries with the Highway I-25 Second Annexation (September, 1989) to the west and the Interstate Associates Annexation(August, 1989)to the north.

There are numerous uses permitted in this District, subject to either administrative review or review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The City's adopted Structure Plan, a part of the Comprehensive Plan, suggests that Commercial zoning is appropriate in this location. Staff is recommending that this property be excluded from 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 their predominantly residential use and character. A map amendment will be necessary to place this property on the Residential Neighborhood Sign District Map as an area not in the Sign District. Findings: 1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. 2.
