EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to annex 57.83 acres located at 6015 South Timberline Road into the City of Fort Collins. The parcel became an enclave with the annexation of the Hansen Farm Annexation on February 15, 2013. As of February 15, 2016, the City was authorized to annex the enclave in accordance with State Statute 31-12-106. Staff is recommending placement into the Residential Neighborhood Sign district. The Rennat Annexation is situated between the Union Pacific Railroad/Southridge Golf Course to the west and South Timberline Road to the east. A related item to zone the proposed annexation presented as the next item on this Agenda. 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION This is an involuntary enclave 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 Agreement, the City will agree to involuntary annex property in the GMA when the property becomes eligible pursuant to the Colorado Revised Statutes. The City of Fort Collins also has a long-standing history of annexing property within the GMA to ensure that property conforms to the vision, goals and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Rennat property is a single parcel annexation and was enclaved upon the annexation of the Hansen Farm Annexation on February 15, 2013. The parcel abuts the Union Pacific Railroad/Southridge Golf Course to the west and South Timberline Road to the east. The proposed resolution complies with State Statute 31-12-106 which states that municipalities may, by ordinance, involuntarily annex unincorporated areas that are contained entirely within the boundary of the municipality, if said area has been so surrounded for three years. As of February 15, 2016, the City of Fort Collins was authorized to annex the parcel located at 6015 South Timberline. Due to its location, staff recommends placement into the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. ATTACHMENT 1 Agenda Item 10 Item # 10 Page 2 CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS There are no direct financial impacts as a result of the proposed annexation. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its December 15, 2016, regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the annexation. Further, the Board recommended that the parcel be placed into the Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN), Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MMN), and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zone districts. This unanimous action was taken after the item was pulled for discussion. A community member pulled the item due to concerns with area congestion and traffic that is being caused by new development. However, the area resident left the meeting prior to being able to speak to the Board and the Board was made aware of the resident’s concerns through staff. The discussion pointed out that development was not occurring on the site and that the City initiated annexation and zoning of this property is a fulfillment of the Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County. PUBLIC OUTREACH An outreach process is not required by the Colorado Revised Statues or the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. However, on November 15, 2016, City staff held a stakeholder meeting to answer questions and inform residents of any changes that may result from being annexed into the City. Representatives from the Planning and Light and Power departments were present to explain any potential difference in electrical rates, services, zoning and various issues related to future public improvements associated with land development. Attachment 4 is a summary of the questions and answers provided to residents who attended the meeting. ATTACHMENTS 1. Vicinity Map (PDF) 2. Structure Plan Map (PDF) 3. Zoning Map (PDF) 4.
