I . Introduction
What is the Purpose of the Three-Mile Plan ?
The Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins, Colorado , is a policy document for
coordinating future annexation and provision of services , required to be updated
annually per Colorado Revised Statutes . Section 31 - 12 - 105 of the State Statutes
requires that cities complete a plan within three miles in any direction from any point of
such municipal boundary . The purpose of the Plan is to describe the general location ,
character , utilities , and infrastructure for areas of potential annexation . In comparison to
a specific annexation impact report , the Three - Mile Plan takes a broader approach to
the annexation and development of land . A proposed annexation should be consistent
with the municipality' s Comprehensive Plan and Three - Mile Plan , in addition to other
policies .
The required annual update is routine and recurring , highlighting the 2014 changes to
approved plans and other documents applicable to those areas defined in the State
Statutes .
Section 31 - 12 - 105 of the Colorado Revised Statutes requires that the City complete a
plan within three miles in any direction from any point of such 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 .
What Does the Three-Mile Plan Describe ?

as follows :
