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 distr�w I Ilow � to re- . to appr riateness of the LMN/CL zoning split vis-a-vis current conditions on the ground. FindingsL"R: 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.

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 spe ' iQbo a v pm The only permitted uses are those existing at the date the property wa laced int.i and • n d elopment is allowed in the Transition district. Forney Industries has indica that i ht f rt� deve11, at this time. The surrounding properties are currently zoned Low Density Mi -U Nd (•LMN) in thty to the east and west; Neighborhood Conservation, Low Density (NCL) in the Ity ton zoned I — Istrial 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 pro rty ow d b F ey stries and located within the Growth Management Area. According to pUcies�d reem t be een th ity of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Afor Co li s Growth Mg, agementArea (GMA), the City will 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.
