City Council
THIS ITEM HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM CONSIDERATION
STAFF
Pete Wray, Senior City Planner
SUBJECT
Resolution 2015-016 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings for the Interstate
Land Holdings Annexation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to determine substantial compliance and initiating annexation proceedings for the
Interstate Land Holdings Annexation. The Interstate Land Holdings Annexation project represents an
annexation to bring three properties and right of way totaling 22.7 acres located on the northwest corner of the
1-25 and State Highway 392 intersection into Fort Collins municipal boundaries.
The requested zoning for this annexation is the General Commercial (GC) for the Interstate Land Holdings
properties and right of way, and Public Open Lands (P-O-L) for the City owned property. The requested
zoning districts are in compliance with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and the Fossil Creek Reservoir
Area Plan Maps. A specific project development plan proposal is not included with the annexation application.
The proposed Resolution makes a finding that the petition substantially complies with the Municipal
Annexation Act, determines that a hearing should be established regarding the annexation, and directs that
notice be given of the hearing. The hearing will be held at the time of first reading of the annexation and zoning
ordinances; not less than thirty days of prior notice is required by State law.
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. According to policies and agreements contained in the Larimer County and
City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the
GMA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Interstate Land Holdings Annexation includes two parcels owned by Interstate Land Holdings, LLC, one
parcel owned by the City of Fort Collins, and right of way owned by the Colorado Department of Transportation
(CDOT). A portion of the CDOT frontage road in between the properties, as well as the portion of State
Highway 392 to the south, is included in the annexation to provide a continuity of service for the City of Fort
Collins.
The requested zoning for this annexation includes the G-C District for the Interstate Land Holdings properties
(Lots 1 and 2) and CDOT right of way, and the P-O-L District for the City owned parcel (Lot 3), which are
consistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan Maps.
Agenda Item 9
Item # 9 Page 2
The properties are bordered by Fossil Creek Regional Open Space and Swede Lake on the west side,
Interstate 25 to the east, State Highway 392 to the south, and commercial properties to the north. The 1-25
Frontage Road divides the properties. The property is currently zoned T-Tourist in Larimer County.
This is a 100% voluntary 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 Agreements, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the
property is eligible for annexation according to State law.
The Interstate Land Holdings Annexation gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a common
boundary with the Fossil Creek Reservoir and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Open Space Annexation (Ordinance
No. 054, 2008) and the Fossil Creek 392 Annexation (Ordinance No.139, 2009), thus satisfying the
requirement that no less than one-sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing city boundary.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
The annexation and zoning will not result in any initial direct significant financial/economic impacts. Electric
service will be transferred from Poudre Valley REA to Fort Collins Light and Power over a period of time. The
Poudre Valley REA Service Rights Fees will apply for ten years after electric service is transferred to Fort
Collins Utilities. Future development will also trigger the transition from Larimer County Sherriff enforcement to
Fort Collins Police Services. The provision of water and wastewater utility services will continue to be provided
by the Fort Collins/Loveland Water District and South Fort Collins Sanitation District.
In accordance with the May 2013 Amended Intergovernmental Agreement, the City of Fort Collins and the
Town of Windsor will share the property tax increment and sales tax increment generated by properties and
businesses located within the boundaries of the Corridor Activity Center.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
There are no significant environmental impacts anticipated with these annexations.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Board will conduct a public hearing on the annexation and zoning request on
February 12, 2015. The Board’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council as part of the First Reading
of the annexation and zoning ordinances on March 17, 2015.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
There was no public outreach for this Initiating Resolution as this Resolution simply accepts the Annexation
Petition and provides a schedule for upcoming Council hearings with a schedule and notification requirements
that comply with State Statutes.
