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 Cache La Poudre River Annexation into the Public Open Lands zone district. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION In compliance with the City’s Structure Plan Map, an element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan (City Plan), the requested zoning is POL, Public Open Lands. Context The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: Direction Zone District Existing Land Uses North Public Open Lands, Community Commercial Cache La Poudre River, Legacy Park, Rivers Edge Natural Area, Salyer Natural Area, Gustav Swanson Natural Area and Poudre Pet and Feed Supply South Public Open Lands, Community Commercial Cache La Poudre River, Powerhouse Energy Campus, Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, Lee Martinez Park and Old Fort Collins Heritage Park East Employment District and Public Open Lands Ram Self Storage and Old Fort Collins Heritage Park West Urban Estate and Public Open Lands Pateros Creek and Salyer Natural Area Per the Structure Plan Map, the proposed zoning for the subject annexation is POL, Public Open Lands. The Land Use Code Describes this district as: Agenda Item 8 Item # 8 Page 2 “…large publicly owned parks and open lands which have a community-wide emphasis or other characteristics which warrant inclusion under this separate designation rather than inclusion in an adjoining neighborhood or other District designation.” Staff believes that the proposed zoning satisfies the requirements for zoning set forth in Land Use Code Section 2.9.4 because the proposed zoning: (1) is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan because it is consistent with the City’s Structure Plan which is an element of the Comprehensive Plan; (2) is compatible with existing and proposed land uses because the surrounding area is almost entirely zoned as Public Open Lands; and (3) would not result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its September 8, 2016 regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the annexation. Further, the Board recommended that the Enclave be placed into the POL, Public Open Lands District. The recommendations were part of the Planning and Zoning Board Consent Calendar and not discussed. PUBLIC OUTREACH No neighborhood meeting was held for this annexation and zoning. All required mailings and postings per Section 2.9 (Amending the Zoning Map) and 2.12 (Annexation of Land) of the Land Use Code have been followed. ATTACHMENTS 1.
