Introduction What is the Purpose of the Three-Mile Plan? The Three-Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins is a policy document for coordinating future annexation and provision of services which is required to be updated annually per Colorado Revised Statutes Section 31-12-105. The Three-Mile Plan describes the general location, character, utilities, and infrastructure for areas of potential annexation into the City within three miles in any direction of the municipal boundary. The Three-Mile Plan takes a much broader approach to the annexation and development of land than a specific annexation impact report and ensures proposed annexations are consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan and other annexation and land development policies. Section 31-12-105 of the Colorado Revised Statutes requires municipalities to complete a plan within three miles in any direction of the municipal boundary as follows: Prior to the completion of any annexation within the three-mile area, the municipality shall have in place a plan for that area that generally describes the proposed location, character, and extent of streets, subways, bridges, waterways, waterfronts, parkways, playgrounds, squares, parks, aviation fields, other public ways, grounds, open spaces, public utilities, and terminals for water, light, sanitation, transportation, and power to be provided by the municipality and the proposed land uses for the area. Updates to the Three-Mile Plan are routine and occur on an annual basis. The 2020 update highlights changes to approved plans, policies, and other applicable documents defined in state statutes since the prior year’s update. Note that in 2019, adoption of the update to the comprehensive plan fulfilled the annual Three-Mile Plan update requirements and the last standalone update was completed in 2018. What Does the Three-Mile Plan Describe? This Three-Mile Plan illustrates and references adopted plans, policies, maps, and other documents adopted by the City which generally describe the location, character, and extent of land uses, transportation facilities, and infrastructure required by State Statutes listed above. These documents are organized into four categories, as follows: Transportation-related Items:  Streets  Subways  Bridges  Parkways  Aviation Fields City of Fort Collins – Three-Mile Plan 2020 Update Page 4  Other Public Ways  Terminals for Transportation Parks, Natural Areas and Open Lands-related Items:  Waterways  Waterfronts  Playgrounds  Squares  Parks  Grounds  Open Spaces Utilities and Related Items:  Public Utilities  Terminals for Water, Light, Sanitation, and Power Provided by the Municipality Proposed Land Uses:  Inside Growth Management Area (GMA)  Outside Growth Management Area (GMA) In addition to adopted plans and policies adopted by the City, the Three-Mile Plan also references plans and policies adopted by other jurisdictions and adjacent municipalities that may overlap with Fort Collins’ Three-Mile Plan study area. 2020 Three-Mile Plan Updates There have been relatively few updates to existing plans or newly-adopted plans within the three-mile study area over the past year.
