is an appropriate way to handle annexation. She doesn't think statutes had this level of creativity in
mind. She thinks the City should be really transparent on how they do some of these things.
Chair Smith asked Deputy City Attorney Daggett to comment. She said the concept of the entire street
means from curb to curb rather than end to end in the language that was read. She also wanted to
mention that although she hasn't been actively involved in the discussion about the legal basis for the
annexation petition that was filed, it is her understanding that there's been fairly extensive discussion of
that. She said City Council will be making formal findings in connection with compliance in the action
that Council takes so if, in fact, the Board does not feel comfortable making a recommendation
specifically on the issue of eligibility, you might consider making recommendations on other aspects of
the proposal.

of the area and the Fossil Creek Area Framework Plan:
• variety of lot sizes
• city and county subdivisions
• existing county residences
He said staff recommends approval of the annexation and requested zoning of L-M-N, Low Density
Mixed -Use Neighborhood. Further, staff is recommending that this property be included in the

Board Discussion
Member Schmidt asked if the whole area (developments under county review) is also in the receiving
area or is it just this one particular parcel. Holland. said Kechter Crossing is also in the receiving area.
Schmidt asked if the county is developing at a higher density than Urban Estate. Holland said on a plan
that he's seen, there are 75 lots with a density of 3 units per acre and the average square footage of the
lots was 9,521 square feet.
Member Schmidt asked if East County Road 36 is still by4fg a',e a county road. Holland said it is -not a
city owned road. Schmidt said this is a very creative anne ca ionfe very first triangle (annexation) is a
road. If we don't own the road, how can annex a parc. -do .1 own to get the 1/6 contiguity for the
next parcels. Holland said essentially there are two, ` , 'qui b ents for annexations. You must have the
116 contiguity and you must have 50% or more of, `nern; ; interest of the area to be annexed however,
the ownership requirement excludes publicib-5 s or alleys. He said the City of Fort Collins
represents more than 50% of the ownerip inter t eXclusive of the public roads, streets, and alleyways
as defined in state statute.
Member Schmidt said she presumes the Nfirs-t vexation is solely roadway. Holland said correct. If the
county owns the road, are they requesting we annex that piece? She doesn't understand how you have
the starting 1/6 contiguity when it's not anyone's property —it's solely a piece of the road. Holland
referred to Schmidt's use of the word creative. He said if it's creative, than it is used more often than not.
He said when you consider the complex nature of how cities are organized, state statutes gives a lot of
leeway in their very specific case law that permit a city to annex property. If they didn't have that ability,
it would be very difficult for these sorts of things to get done.
Holland provided information on annexation case law including:
• The shape and size of the parcel ultimately annexed, whether in a flagpole annexation or
otherwise, is not relevant to its eligibility for annexation. Board of County Commissioners v.
City and County of Denver and Board of County Commissioners of County of Arapahoe v.
City of Greenwood Village.
• If annexing a portion of a street or alley, must annex the entire street or alley. C.R.S. 31-12-
105(1) (f).
Member Schmidt asked why then weren't we annexing the whole street ... it seems arbitrary where it's
stopped. She said she just wants to make the point that she's gone along when it's a private party (even
when they want to divide their parcel(s) in a creative manner). She said we don't usually start with just a
road. She said if the City has a •very good reason why this has to be annexed at this particular point in
time in this creative fashion that may be one thing; but she hasn't seen it come forth. She doesn't want
to take up the Board's/everyone's time but she won't be able to support it because she doesn't think this

City Planner Jason Holland said. this is a 100% voluntary annexation for a property located within the
Growth Management Area. The project satisfies the requirement that no less than one -sixth of the
perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing City boundary. The L-M-N zoning is consistent with the
City's Structure Plan Map. The City has submitted a written petition requesting the annexation of three
sequential annexation areas, known collectively as Kechter Annexation. The series of annexation areas
are:
Kechter Annexation No. 1: 0.130 acres
Kechter Annexation No. 2: 0.505 acres
Kechter Annexation No. 3: 18.644 acres
Total for Kechter Annexations 1, 2 and 3: 19.279 acres
Holland said no development is proposed and the proposal does not create an enclave. He said the
majority of the area being annexed is at 2313 Kechter Road; one of five sites in the City of Fort Collins
Land Bank program. This is a City -owned property purchased in 2006 as a part of the Land Bank
Program. He said the purpose of the Land Bank Program is a long term affordable housing tool. It also

August 21, 2012 -2- ITEM 23
The requested zoning for this annexation is the Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District (L-M-N). The Land Use
Code describes this zone district as follows:
Purpose. The Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District is intended to be a setting for a
predominance of low density housing combined with complementary and supporting land uses that
serve a neighborhood and are developed and operated in harmony with the residential characteristics
of a neighborhood. The main purpose of the District is to meet a wide range of needs of everyday
living in neighborhoods that include a variety of housing choices, that invite walking to gathering
places, services and conveniences, and that are fully integrated into the larger community by the
pattern of streets, blocks, and other linkages. A neighborhood center provides a focal point, and
attractive walking and biking paths invite residents to enjoy the center as well as the small
neighborhood parks. Any new development in this District shall be arranged to form part of an
individual neighborhood.
Staff is recommending that this property be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District, which was
established for the purpose of regulating signs for non-residential uses in certain geographical areas of the City that
may be particularly affected by such signs because of their predominantly residential use and character. A map
amendment will not be necessary to place this property on the Residential Neighborhood Sign District Map.
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 requested placement into the Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District is consistent with the City
of Fort Collins Structure Plan Map and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan Map.
3. 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.
4. On July 17, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution 2012-054 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.
5. The requested L-M-N, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood Zoning District is in conformance with the
policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
6. 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 voted 5-1 to recommend approval of the annexation. The Board voted 5-1 to recommend that the property
be placed in the Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood Zone District. The minutes from the July 19, 2012 Planning
and Zoning Board Hearing are attached (Attachment 6).
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 at their scheduled public hearing on July 19, 2012. A letter of notification of the public
hearing was mailed to all affected property owners within 800 feet of the property 14 days prior to the hearing. The

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As the Owner and Applicant, the City of Fort Collins has submitted a written petition requesting the annexation of three
sequential annexation tracts. Kechter Annexation No. 2 is the second of this series of sequential annexations, which
are as follows: Kechter Annexation No. 1 - 0.130 acres; Kechter Annexation No. 2 - 0.505 acres; Kechter Annexation
No. 3 - 18.644 acres; Kechter Annexation total area is 19.279 acres. The majority of the land within the Kechter
Annexation series includes 2313 Kechter Road, which is owned by the City of Fort Collins as part of the Land Bank
program. 2313 Kechter Road contains one single-family residence and is in the FA-1 — Farming Zoning District in
Larimer County. The Kechter Annexation does not create an enclave. There are no immediate plans to develop this
annexation area.
Kechter Annexation No. 2 is 0.505 acres and is located approximately 925 feet east of the intersection of South
Timberline Road and Kechter Road. The requested zoning for this annexation is the Low Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood District (L-M-N). The surrounding properties are existing residential land uses currently zoned FA-1 —
Farming Zoning District in Larimer County to the north, south, east and west.
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

to policies and agreements contained in the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements,
the Citywill agree to consider annexation of property in the GMAwhen the property is eligible for annexation according
to State law.
Annexation No. 2 has 17.3% of its perimeter boundary contiguous with City limits from a common boundary with
Kechter Annexation No. 1, thus satisfying the requirement that no less than one -sixth of the perimeter boundary be
contiguous to the existing City boundary.
The surrounding land uses are as follows:
Zoning: Land Uses:
N: County FA-1 Blehm residential subdivision
S: County FA-1 Existing single family residence
E: County FA-1 Existing single family residence
E: County FA-1 Homestead residential community
W: County FA-1 Kechter Crossing — planned community
