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 2017-017. The purpose of this item is to zone the properties included in the Interstate Land Holdings annexation into the General Commercial (CG) and Public Open Lands (POL) zone districts. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The requested zoning for this annexation is General Commercial (CG) zone district for Lot 2 and right-of-way, and Public Open Lands (POL) zone district for the City-owned Lot 3, which is consistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. Context The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: Direction Zone District Existing Land Use North County C - Commercial Existing Trucking and RV Sales East CDOT - None Frontage Rd. /I-25 South FC CG - General Commercial Vacant West FC POL - Public Open Lands Fossil Creek Reservoir Regional Park Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan The parcels are 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: Agenda Item 15 Item # 15 Page 2 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. Zoning The proposed zoning for the subject annexation includes two zone districts: CG and POL. For Lot 2 and the Right-of-Way, the requested zoning is General Commercial (CG) zone district. The purpose of the General Commercial District is intended to be a setting for development, redevelopment and infill of a wide range of community and regional retail uses, offices and personal and business services. This annexation area is in the Corridor Activity Center zoning overlay, which limits the permitted list of land uses and includes specific design standards for the I-25/Carpenter Road gateway area. The proposed zoning for the City-owned parcel (Lot 3) is Public Open Lands (POL). This parcel is adjacent to existing wetlands and the Fossil Creek Regional Park. The purpose of the POL District is for large publicly-owned parks and open lands which have a communitywide emphasis or other characteristics which warrant inclusion under this separate designation. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS There are no direct financial impacts as a result of the proposed annexation and zoning. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION This item was on the consent agenda and unanimously passed by the Planning and Zoning Board by a 6-0 vote (Carpenter absent) on July 20, 2017. PUBLIC OUTREACH An outreach process is not required by Colorado Revised Statues or the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. The proposed annexation does not include a development application, and a neighborhood meeting was not held. ATTACHMENTS 1. Structure Plan Map (PDF) 2.
