This is a request to annex a segment of East Prospect Road right-of-way. The request is related to a City Utilities and Engineering project to improve the Boxelder Creek crossing of the road for flood management purposes. The segment is located east of Summitview Drive and west of the Interstate 25 frontage road. The segment is approximately 1,000 feet in length. The Initiating Resolution was adopted on April 5, 2016. A related item to zone the annexed property is 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 Resolution and Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Growth Management Area, the City agrees to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible according to State law. The subject property gains the required one-sixth (16.66%) contiguity to existing city limits from several abutting properties. 42% of the total perimeter is contiguous to the existing municipal boundary, which exceeds the required minimum. This annexation request is in conformance with Section 30, Article II of the Colorado State Constitution, 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. This annexation of right-of-way fills two small gaps in existing city limits along East Prospect Road. Adjacent owners agree with the annexation and have signed the Petition to Annex. ATTACHMENT 1 Agenda Item 14 Item # 14 Page 2 BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Board conducted a public hearing regarding the annexation and zoning request on April 7, 2016.
