Planning and Zoning Board minutes, July 19, 2012 September 4, 2012 -2- ITEM 21 However, conditions on the ground have evolved from the time of the initial Structure Plan and Northwest Subarea Plan designation. Recently, the City acquired the adjacent property to the north and northwest to be used as regional detention and outfall for the West Vine basin. Additionally, Utilities Master Plan and Floodplain Administration Division is currently conducting an analysis regarding the property to the northeast, determining if the property should be acquired for regional detention as well. This adjacent, City -owned property will only be used as detention and will not be developed, thus creating a new "buffer" for the neighborhood to the north. Due to the recent City acquisition of parcels to the north, the requested zoning of the Forney Annexation is T- Transition. Zoning parcels Transition initially at time of annexation is not unprecedented; in November 1997, the 435 acre Timberline Annexation was placed into the Transition zone district and remained zoned as such until 2001, when it was rezoned in anticipation of the Johnson Property Overall Development Plan. Initially placing the Forney Annexation in the Transition zone district will allow time to re-evaluate the appropriateness of the LMN/CL zoning split vis-a-vis current conditions on the ground. Findings 1. The property meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for a voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins. 2. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Amended Intergovernmental Agreement — Growth Management Area. 3. On July 17, 2012, the City Council Resolution 2012-052 that accepted the annexation petition and determined that the petition was in compliance with State law. The Resolution also initiated the annexation process for the property by establishing the date, time and place when a public hearing would be held regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area. 3. The requested T, Transition Zoning District is in conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 4. The annexation and zoning request is in conformance with the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and the Ordinances on First Reading. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Board conducted a public hearing regarding the annexation and zoning request on July 19, 2012 and unanimously recommended approval of the annexation. Additionally, the Board unanimously recommended that the property be placed in the Transition Zone District. The minutes from the July 19, 2012 Planning and Zoning Board Hearing are attached. PUBLIC OUTREACH The public notification of the annexation and zoning request occurred two weeks prior to the item going before the Planning and Zoning Board attheir scheduled public hearing on July 19, 2012. A public hearing notification letterwas mailed to all Affected Property Owners within 800 feet of the property 14 days prior to the hearing. The Land Use Code does not require a neighborhood meeting for annexation and initial zoning and a meeting was not held for this annexation and zoning request. DATE: September 4, 2012 STAFF: Courtney Levingston - Items Relating to the Forney Annexation and Zoning. A. Resolution 2012-083 Setting Forth Findings of Factand Determinations Regarding the Forney Annexation and Zoning. B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 095, 2012, Annexing the Property Known as the Forney Annexation. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 096, 2012, Amending and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Forney Annexation. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the Owner and Applicant, Forney Industries has submitted a written petition requesting the annexation of 23.16 acres located on the north side of LaPorte Avenue, approximately 1,280 feet east of North Taft Hill Road. The parcels to be annexed, all owned by Forney Industries, are currently located in Larimer County's I — Industrial Zoning District. The requested zoning for this annexation is the T - Transition. The Transition District is intended for properties for which there are no specific and immediate plans for development. The only permitted uses are those existing at the date the property was placed into this District and no new development is allowed in the Transition district. Forney Industries has indicated that it has no intent to further develop at this time. The surrounding properties are currently zoned Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (LMN) in the City to the east and west; Neighborhood Conservation, Low Density (NCL) in the City to the south and zoned I — Industrial in Larimer County to the north. This annexation request is in conformance with the State of Colorado Revised Statutes as they relate to annexations, the City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan, and the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION This is a 100% voluntary annexation for property owned by Forney Industries and located within the Growth Management Area. According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the FortCollins Growth Management Area (GMA), the Citywill agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. The annexation gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits from a common boundary with the east parcel line of the Schmidtberger Subdivision (Canfield Annexation, 1975) and Lilac Apartments Subdivision (Springer Farm First Annexation, 1972) to the west. The annexation also shares an additional common boundary with existing City limits to the east, with the Leeper Subdivision (Radio City Annexation, 1957), thus further satisfying the requirement that no less than one -sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing City boundary. Recommendation of Transition (T) Zone District The City's Structure Plan designates the subject parcels to be placed in the Limited Commercial (CL) and Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood(LMN)District. These zone district designations were not cleanly determined along property lines, but delineated by where existing commercial activity stopped, mid -parcel. The intent of LMN portion to the north was to ensure that if future development is compatible with the integrity and density of existing neighborhoods to the north and to provide a "buffer" between the existing neighborhood to the north and the CL zoning (Forney Industries) to the south.
