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 2019-064. The purpose of this item is to apply zoning to the property included in the first of three sequential annexations, known as the Timberline-International Annexation No.1. Timberline-International Annexation No. 1 is located northeast of the North Timberline Road and International Boulevard intersection. The proposed zoning for this annexation is Industrial (I). The surrounding properties are existing industrial land uses currently zoned I- Industrial Zoning District (in Larimer County) to the north, south and west. The abutting City limit to the east is zoned Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (L-M-N) and consists of North Timberline Road right-of-way. Staff also recommends placement into the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The requested zoning for this annexation is the Industrial (I) Zone District, which conforms to the larger surrounding area of existing industrial businesses and single-family residential homes. The surrounding land uses are as follows: Zoning Land Use N County I (Industrial) Existing industrial S County I (Industrial) Existing industrial E City Low Density Mixed-Use Residential (LMN) North Timberline Road right-of-way W County I (Industrial) Existing industrial ATTACHMENT 1 Agenda Item 13 Item # 13 Page 2 East Mulberry Corridor Plan The tract of land is located within the East Mulberry Corridor Plan, adopted in 2002, which covers an area of approximately 3.5 square miles of along both sides of East Mulberry Street between Riverside Drive and I-25 in Fort Collins and Larimer County, within the Growth Management Area. The Plan states: “The Industrial District is intended to provide a location for a variety of work processes and workplaces such as manufacturing, warehousing and distributing, indoor and outdoor storage, and a wide range of commercial and industrial operations. The Industrial District also accommodates complementary and supporting uses such as convenience shopping, childcare centers and housing.” According to the East Corridor Plan Land Use Map, the subject tract of land should be placed into the Industrial Zone District. The proposed zoning, industrial (I), complies with the subarea plan. Zoning The proposed zoning for this annexation is the Industrial (I) Zone District. The City of Fort Collins Land Use Code describes this zone district as follows: “Purpose. The Industrial District is intended to provide a location for a variety of work processes and workplaces such as manufacturing, warehousing and distributing, indoor and outdoor storage, and a wide range of commercial and industrial operations. The Industrial District also accommodates complementary and supporting uses such as convenience shopping, childcare centers and housing. While these Districts will be linked to the City's transportation system for multiple modes of travel, some may emphasize efficient commercial trucking and rail traffic as needed. Industrial and manufacturing processes used in this District may, by necessity, be characteristically incompatible with residential uses.” Additionally, staff recommends that the subject property be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District, which was established for regulating signs for non-residential uses in predominantly residential settings. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS No direct financial impacts result of the proposed zoning. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its December 19, 2019, meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the annexation and recommend that the property be placed in the Industrial (I) Zone District. Since the item remained on the Planning and Zoning Board’s Consent Calendar, minutes from the hearing will not be provided. PUBLIC OUTREACH 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. A neighborhood meeting was held on August 29, 2019, for the annexation and zoning and conceptual plans for the Timberline-International property. ATTACHMENTS 1. Annexation Sequence Map (PDF) 2.
