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 2018-034. The purpose of this item is to zone the property included in the Friendly Fire Enclave Annexation into the Limited Commercial (C-L) zone district and Neighborhood Sign District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Context The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: Direction Zone District Existing Land Use North Transition (T) Professional Office (Salud Medical Center), Commercial Retail (Boo Bicycles) South Neighborhood Conservation Low Density District (NCL) Single Family Residence East Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood Residential (Leeper Mobile Home Park), Commercial (Micromat Laundromat) West Transition (T) Professional Office (Salud Medical Center) Zoning The property is currently zoned I-Industrial as assigned by Larimer County. The proposed zoning for this annexation is the Limited Commercial (C-L) zone district. The proposed zoning complies with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and Northwest Subarea Framework Plan. The parcels contain a combination of existing residential, and commercial uses. The purpose of the Limited Commercial (C-L) zone district is as follows: Agenda Item 7 Item # 7 Page 2 “The Limited Commercial District is intended for areas primarily containing existing, small commercial uses that are adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Many of these areas have transitioned over time from residential to commercial uses. The purpose of this district is to allow small scale nonresidential uses to continue to exist or to expand while still protecting surrounding residential areas, provided that such areas have been designated under an adopted subarea plan as being appropriate for the C-L District. Existing development of the site aligns with this purpose statement. Northwest Subarea Plan The subject parcels are contained within the Northwest Subarea Plan boundary, adopted in 2006 and covers 4.3 square miles in the general area between Mulberry Street, Overland Trail, County Road 50 and Shields Street. The Plan was jointly adopted by both the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County. The Plan states the following about the Limited Commercial Zone district: “Where it Applies: The Framework Plan designates Limited Commercial in discreet portions of the Subarea (along Laporte, North of the cemetery, near Shields and Vine and Taft Hill and Laporte intersections). These locations generally correspond to existing commercial activities, where additional infill or redevelopment may be possible. Any new commercial development would be small in scale and designed to be compatible with the adjacent neighborhoods it serves. These designated areas contain a mix of activities and uses, including a distribution company, a furniture store, a gas station and other uses, most of which are independently owned and have been in the area for many years.” (page 18) “Purpose and Intent. The City and County anticipate and will encourage reinvestment and redevelopment on these sites, as properties begin to change hands, to ensure that new uses are compatible with nearby residential neighborhoods. The intent for future development is to recognize pre-existing commercial uses in the Northwest Subarea while at the same time allowing flexibility for private reinvestment. Uses and activities beneficial to and compatible with the neighborhoods should continue to occur. New development should be screened, have only limited amounts of outdoor storage, and be attractive.” (page 19) “Current Zoning. These locations are currently zoned FA-Farming, Industrial, C-Commercial, LMN- Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood, and O-Open.” According to the Northwest Subarea Plan Framework Plan, the subject parcel should be placed into the Limited Commercial zone district. The proposed zoning, Limited Commercial, complies with the Subarea Plan. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS There are no financial impacts as a result of the proposed annexation. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the zoning, December 20, 2018. This unanimous action was taken as part of the Board’s Consent Calendar. PUBLIC OUTREACH An outreach process is not required by Colorado Revised Statues or the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. City staff held a stakeholder meeting October 11, 2018, to answer questions and inform residents and owners of property within the Friendly Fire Enclave Annexation of any changes that may result from annexing into the City. No one was in attendance for the meeting and staff provided subsequent follow-up with one property owner over-the-phone and sent a FAQ sheet that was prepared in advance of the meeting. Agenda Item 7 Item # 7 Page 3 In addition to the neighborhood meeting, Planning and Neighborhood Services use two strategies to reach the greater community and encourage participation, they are: 1. Posting “Development Proposal Under Review” sign(s) that provides a contact phone number and project number to connect any interested party directly to staff. Staff is then available to answer any questions they may have. 2. An email newsletter called “This Week in Development Review” is sent to nearly 1,000 people weekly summarizing project submittals (such as the enclave annexation), hearings and other development review related events that happen throughout the City of Fort Collins.
