The Three-Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins is a reference document of approved plans and policies describing infrastructure,land use planning,and provision of services for areas of potential annexation.The Plan is required per Colorado Revised Statues Section 31 -1 2-1 05 and is updated annually to reflect new or revised plans and policies. The Three-Mile Plan describes the general location,character,utilities,and infrastructure for areas within three miles 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 2022 update highlights changes to approved plans,policies,and other applicable documents which have occurred since the prior Three-Mile Plan was adopted in 2021. What Does the Three-Mile Plan Describe? This Three-Mile Plan references and illustrates 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 •Other Public Ways •Terminals for Transportation City of Fort Collins —Three-Mile Plan 2022 Update Page 3 EXHIBIT A 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 may also reference other plans and policies adopted by neighboring jurisdictions or organizations that provide contextual guidance as they overlap with Fort Collins’Three- Mile Plan study area. 2022 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.Section II highlights updated or newly- adopted documents from the preceding year in bold text.
