(2)Agenda Item 17 Item # 17 Page 1 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY September 5, 2017 City Council STAFF Kai Kleer, Associate Planner Brad Yatabe, Legal SUBJECT Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 124, 2017, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Newton Second Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, and Approving Corresponding Changes to the Sign District Map. 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 property included in the Newton Second Annexation into the Urban Estate (UE), zone district. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The requested zoning for this annexation is Urban Estate (UE), which is consistent with the surrounding area. Context The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: FA - Farming Single Family Residential (Larimer County) S: FA - Farming Single Family Residential (Larimer County) E: FA - Farming Single Family Residential (Larimer County) W: FA - Farming Single Family Residential (Larimer County) Northwest Subarea Plan The annexation area is located within the Northwest Subarea Plan, adopted in 2006 and covers the northwest portion of Fort Collins indicated in the image below. Agenda Item 17 Item # 17 Page 2 The Plan indicates: “The Urban Estate designation for this area is consistent with the City’s current Structure Plan designation. Existing subdivisions within the Central Area have established a low-density residential pattern. Continuation of Urban Estate development here will help safeguard the character of these existing neighborhoods.” According to the Northwest Subarea Plan Land Use Map, the subject annexation should be placed into the Urban Estate (UE), zone district. The proposed zoning, UE , Urban Estate, complies with the Subarea Plan. Zoning The proposed zoning for the subject annexation is Urban Estate (UE). This district is intended to be a setting for low-density and large-lot housing and a few low-intensity commercial uses. Additionally, the district acts as a transitional area between more intense urban development and rural or open lands. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS There are no direct financial impacts as a result of the proposed zoning. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its July 20, 2017, regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the annexation. Further, the Board recommended that parcel be placed into the Urban Estate (UE), zone district. This unanimous action was taken as part of the Board’s consent agenda; therefore, there are no minutes. PUBLIC OUTREACH Given that this is a 100% voluntary annexation, there was no neighborhood meeting for this annexation and zoning. This is a 100% voluntary annexation. Please note, however, that 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.
