EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This item is a quasi-judicial matter and if it is considered on the discussion agenda it will be considered in accordance with the procedures described in Section 1(d) of the Council’s Rules of Meeting Procedures adopted in Resolution 2015-091. The purpose of this item is to zone the property included in the Rennat Annexation into the Low Density Mixed- Use Neighborhood (LMN), Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MMN), and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zone districts. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Proposed Zoning The requested zoning for this annexation is Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN), Medium Density Mixed- Use Neighborhood (MMN), and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) zone districts. The proposed zoning for the subject annexation is:  Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN); 55.073 Acres  Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (MMN); 0.700 Acres  Neighborhood Commercial (NC), 2.062 Acres These districts are intended to be a setting for development with a wide range of community uses. The primary zoning of the property is Low Density Mixed-Use, which can accommodate a wide range of housing types. The eastern edge of the property is proposed as Medium Density Mixed-Use and Neighborhood Commercial to encourage more intense densities and uses. The zoning is meant to accommodate neighborhood oriented services such as a grocery store or neighborhood retail. Context The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: LMN: Farm MMN: Farm; Crowne on Timberline, Multifamily Residential; and Single Family Residential ATTACHMENT 1 Agenda Item 11 Item # 11 Page 2 NC: Farm POL: Southridge Golf Course Fossil Creek Reservoir Plan The parcel is located within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan, a joint plan between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County and adopted in 1998. The planning area covers 5,062 acres of the southeast region of Fort Collins within the GMA. The objectives of the Plan are to: 1. Build a self-supporting group of neighborhoods with a full complement of parks, schools and community facilities linked by open space systems and consistent with the County’s Master Plan and Fort Collins’ City Plan, Principles and Policies. 2. Provide for protection of sensitive wildlife habitat around the Reservoir as well as provide standards for such habitat conservation. 3. Provide neighborhood centers as a focal point for neighborhood activity. Provide a Neighborhood Commercial Center to serve surrounding neighborhoods including a grocery store or supermarket and other neighborhood oriented retail services. 4. 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. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS There are no direct financial impacts as a result of the proposed zoning. 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 Planning and Light and Power were present to explain any potential difference in electrical rates, services, zoning and various issues related to future public improvements associated with land development.
