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 Fox Hills Second Annexation into the Residential Foothills (R-F) zone district and to add the property to the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The requested zoning for the Fox Hills Second Annexation is Residential Foothills (R-F), which is consistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan. A portion of the Fox Hills neighborhood located east of Red Fox Road was annexed in 1994 as the Fox Hills First Annexation, and is currently zoned R-F. Staff recommends that the Fox Hills Second Annexation also be zoned R-F. The stated purpose of the Residential Foothills District designation is for low density residential areas located near the foothills. The surrounding properties are residential land uses as follows: Direction Zone District Existing Land Uses North County Zone District: FA-1 Farming Wildflower Ridge PUD, County Subdivision, single-family residential lots South County Zone District: FA-1 Farming Westridge Estates PUD East City Zone District: R-F, Residential Foothills Fox Hills 2nd Filing West County Zone District: FA-1 Farming Westridge Estates PUD ATTACHMENT 1 Agenda Item 13 Item # 13 Page 2 Staff recommends that this property be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District, which was established for the purpose of regulating signs for non-residential uses in geographical areas of the City that may be particularly affected by such signs because of their predominantly residential use and character. The main purpose of the annexation is to allow the streets within the Fox Hills subdivision to be maintained by the City. Residents of the Fox Hills subdivision have funded the necessary street improvements within the annexation boundary and have coordinated these improvements with City staff. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS There are no direct financial impacts as a result of the proposed annexation. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On October 19, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 7-0 as a consent agenda item to approve the proposed Fox Hills Second Annexation and Zoning. PUBLIC OUTREACH An outreach process is not required by Colorado Revised Statues or the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code for the annexation. However, outreach meetings were conducted by the City with area residents to discuss options for future street maintenance in the area, which was the impetus for this annexation request.
