(3)Agenda Item 12 Item # 12 Page 1 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY January 15, 2019 City Council STAFF Kai Kleer, Associate Planner Ted Shepard, Chief Planner Brad Yatabe, Legal SUBJECT Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 011, 2019, Annexing the Property Known as the Trilby Substation Enclave Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to annex an enclave of approximately 1.8 acres of land in southwest Fort Collins. The Initiating Resolution 2018-108 was adopted on consent, November 20, 2018. The property is situated 300 feet southeast of the South Shields Street and West Trilby Road intersection. The single-parcel enclave consists of a Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association electric substation and is surrounded by City of Fort Collins Hazaleus and Colina Mariposa Natural Areas. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The Trilby Substation enclave is a single-parcel annexation that consists of approximately 1.8 acres of privately owned property. The annexation is located entirely within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area (GMA). According to Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. The proposed ordinance complies with State Statute 31-12-106 which states that municipalities may, by ordinance, involuntarily annex unincorporated areas that are contained entirely within the boundary of the municipality, if said area has been so surrounded for no less than three years. As of June 17, 1991, the City of Fort Collins was authorized to annex the parcel contained within the Trilby Substation Enclave. The subject property is fully contained within municipal boundaries due to the following two annexations: • North: Timan First Annexation, 1988 • East/South/West: Trilby Heights Third Annexation, 1981 CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS There are no financial impacts as a result of the proposed annexation. Agenda Item 12 Item # 12 Page 2 BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the proposed annexation and associated zoning, December 20, 2018. This unanimous action was taken as part of the Board’s consent agenda; therefore, no minutes of the meeting are provided. 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, September 26, 2018, to answer questions and inform Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association (PVREA) and others affected by the Kechter Farm Enclave and Strauss Cabin Enclave, of any changes that may result from being annexed into the City. Though a representative was not present at the meeting staff followed up with PVREA over the phone to outline the process and answer any questions. PVREA did not express any objections or concerns over the annexation. 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.
