The applicant, Sidehill Investment LLC., the property owner, has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of 17.34 acres located on the east side of Wood Street, approximately 1,320 feet east of North Shields Street. The property is developed and is in the O - Open District in Larimer County. The requested zoning for this annexation is UE — Urban Estate. The surrounding properties are currently zoned 0 — Open in the Larimer County to the south and west, and POL — Public Open Lands in the City (Lee Martinez Park and McMurry Natural Area) to the east and 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. The only known issue with this annexation is the previously expressed concern by community members and one Councilmember with the LOMR-Fill (Letter of Map Revision - Fill) process that occurred while the property is still in the County. While the floodplain regulations for the Poudre River Basin generally match across the City and the County, the City conditions its approval of LOMR-Fill applications in a way that the County does not. In this instance, the LOMR-Fill was approved by the County and portions of the site have been removed from the floodplain prior to annexation. Remaining portions of the site that are in the floodplain will be required to comply with the City's floodplain regulations. 14.
