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, required to be updated annually per Colorado Revised Statutes . The Three - Mile Plan describes the general location , character, utilities, and infrastructure for areas of potential annexation within three miles in any direction of the municipal boundary . In comparison to a specific annexation impact report, a 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 . Section 31 - 12- 105 of the Colorado Revised Statutes requires Cities to complete a plan within three miles in any direction from any point of their 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 for the City of Fort Collins are routine and occur on an annual basis . The 2015 update highlights the changes to approved plans and documents applicable to areas within three - miles of the municipal boundary as defined in the State Statutes . What Does the Three-Mile Plan Describe ? This Three- Mile Plan describes each of the items listed in the State Statute in four categories, as follows : Transportation - related Items : ■ Streets ■ Subways ■ Bridges ■ Parkways ■ Aviation Fields ■ Other Public Ways ■ Terminals for Transportation Parks , Natural Areas and Open Lands- related Items : ■ Waterways ■ Waterfronts ■ Playgrounds Three-Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins Page 2 2015 Update ■ 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) For each of these four categories, the plans, policies, maps, and other documents are identified that have been adopted by the Fort Collins City Council, which generally describe the proposed location, character and extent of the specific characteristics listed above . In addition , there are some plans and policies that have been adopted by other jurisdictions such as Larimer County, Colorado State University, or adjoining municipalities that are also located within the boundaries of the Three-Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins . There have been relatively few changes to existing plans or newly-adopted plans within the three- mile study area since the 2014 update .
