OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
APPROVING WAIVER OF THE ONE-SIXTH CONTIGUITY AND
PUBLIC SEWER REQUIREMENTS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE URBAN
GROWTH AREA (KNOWN AS DRY CREEK STORAGE PUD)
WHEREAS, the Urban Growth Agreement provides that in order for sites
in Larimer County to develop within the Urban Growth Area and outside the
city limits of Fort Collins certain phasing criteria need to be met; and
WHEREAS, the Larimer County Commissioners may waive phasing criteria
for development in the Urban Growth Area provided that:
1. Such requested waiver is approved by the governing body of
the adjoining municipality after said body has substantiated
the required findings.
2. The waiver will not result in unplanned expense for provision
of public services, improvements or facilities.
3. The waiver is consistent with the intent and purpose of the
City's and County's Comprehensive Plans and Policies.
4. The waiver application contains material indicating approval
may be granted without substantial detriment to the intent of
the Supplementary Regulations applying to the area.
5. The waiver application contains material indicating there are
exceptional circumstances applying to the specific piece of
property that do not generally apply to the remaining
property in the UGA.
6. The waiver application contains material indicating approval
would not impair the public health and safety by creating
undesirable traffic or sanitary conditions or adverse
environmental influences in the area.
and
WHEREAS, the developer of Dry Creek Storage PUD requests a waiver of
two phasing criteria, namely, the one-sixth contiguity requirement and the
public sewer requirement; and
WHEREAS, the intent of the waiver process is to give priority to
in-fill development; and
WHEREAS, the nature of the developments around the Dry Creek Storage
PUD make the proposed property essentially an in-fill parcel ; and
WHEREAS, for this reason City staff believes the contiguity waiver
request does meet the intent of the waiver process; and
WHEREAS, only a small (24' x 70') office/residence is proposed on this
site, which the County Health Department feels would be adequately served
by a septic system rather than requiring connection to the nearest City
sewer line, which is approximately one-half mile from the site; and
WHEREAS, City staff believe the public sewer waiver request is
reasonable for this particular use if this waiver will be reevaluated in
case of expansions of use or with any other future use; and
WHEREAS, the Dry Creek Storage PUD waiver requests meet the criteria
set forth above for waivers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
COLLINS that the Dry Creek Storage PUD one-sixth contiguity waiver and
public sewer waiver be, and the same hereby are, approved on condition that
the public sewer waiver request be reevaluated in case of expansions of use
or with any other future use proposed at the site.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of the City of
Fort Collins held this 20th day of May, A.D. 1986.
