EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to initiate annexation proceedings for the Water Treatment Facility Annexation No. 1. This is a voluntary annexation. The City of Fort Collins is the applicant and has submitted a written petition requesting four sequential annexations. Water Treatment Facility Annexation No. 1 is the first Resolution of this series of four sequential annexations, and totals 0.101 acres of Laporte Avenue which establishes 1/6 perimeter boundary contiguity with the existing municipal boundaries to the east. The Water Treatment Facility Annexations form a flagpole-shaped annexation starting slightly east of the intersection of Sunset Street and Laporte Avenue and ending at 4316 Laporte Avenue. A City water treatment facility is located at 4316 LaPorte Avenue. The requested zoning for this series of annexations is Urban Estate (UE) and Residential Foothills (RF) which is in compliance with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and the Northwest Subarea Plan. Notice to parcels abutting platted streets was provided pursuant to §31-12-105, C.R.S. 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. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The proposed Resolution makes a finding that the petition substantially complies with the Municipal Annexation Act, determines that a hearing should be established regarding the annexation, and directs that notice be given of the hearing. The hearing will be held at the time of First Reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances. Not less than thirty days of prior notice is required by state law. The property is located within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area. 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 for annexation according to State law. The 0.101-acre City of Fort Collins Water Treatment Facility Annexation No. 1 total contiguous perimeter is 16.67% which satisfies the one-sixth (1/6) area required. Contiguity is gained from the 1998 Mountain View School Annexation (1.8016 acres). Agenda Item 13 Item # 13 Page 2 CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS This annexation is not expected to have any financial impacts to the City of Fort Collins. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Board will conduct a public hearing on the annexation and zoning request at its regular monthly meeting on January 18, 2018, and will make its recommendation at that time. The Board’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council in time for First Reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances on February 6, 2018. Also, as noted, this is a voluntary annexation. PUBLIC OUTREACH There was no public outreach for this Initiating Resolution as this Resolution simply accepts the Annexation Petition and provides a schedule for upcoming Council hearings with a schedule and notification requirements that comply with state statues.
