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 .
The Three - Mile Plan describes the general location , character , utilities , and
infrastructure for the areas of potential annexation within three miles in any direction of
the municipal boundary . 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 .
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 .
Updates to the Three - Mile Plan are routine and occur on an annual basis . The 2017
update highlights the changes to approved plans and other documents applicable to
those areas defined in the State Statutes since the prior year' s update .
What Does the Three-Mile Plan Describe ?
This Three - Mile Plan describes each of the items listed in the Statute in four categories ,
as follows :
Transportation -related Items:
■ Streets
