Provide for protection of sensitive wildlife habitat around the Reservoir as well as provide standards for such habitat conservation. 3.

Link the area to other districts and neighborhoods, encourage walking and bicycling, and accommodate transit service to the Neighborhood Commercial Center and other neighborhood centers. 5. Complement, but not compete with, development in the Harmony Corridor. 6. Provide a "Transfer of Density units" (TDU) program in which development units may be transferred from the region between Fort Collins and Loveland to the Receiving Area portion of the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. 7. Achieve higher densities where they are appropriate and feather to lower densities as development nears Fossil Creek Reservoir. Zoning The proposed zoning for the subject annexation is Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN). This district is intended to be a setting for development with a wide range of community uses subject to Basic Development Review (BDR), Administrative review, or Planning and Zoning Board review.
