The requested zoning for this annexation is NC — Neighborhood Commercial. The surrounding properties are currently zoned C - Commercial in Larimer County to the south and east and NC — Neighborhood Commercial in the City to the west and the north. This is a 100% voluntary annexation. The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. This property complies with State regulations by meeting the requirement for 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits. This occurs through common boundaries with the Timan First Annexation (May 23, 1988) to the west and the north. The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: NC; currently undeveloped E: C in Larimer County; existing commercial S: C in Larimer County; various existing businesses W: NC; existing farmstead The requested zoning for this annexation is the NC — Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District. There are numerous uses permitted in this District, subject to either administrative review or review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The City's adopted Structure Plan, a part of the Comprehensive Plan, suggests that Neighborhood Commercial zoning is appropriate in this location.
