Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence
Staff presentation:
Senior Planner Ken Waido reported this is a 100% voluntary request to annex approximately 256.3
acres in an area predominately in the northwest corner of Harmony & 1-25. Most of the area is in the
Arapahoe Bend Natural Area. Portions of 1-25 are contained in the area to be annexed, including the
highway right -of way from about three-quarters (3/4) of a mile north of Harmony Road to about one (1)
mile south of Harmony Road.
The property will be annexed via three annexations, the Gateway First Annexation, the Gateway
Second Annexation, and the Gateway Third Annexation. The Gateway Second and Third Annexations
will be considered concurrently which is permitted by the State of Colorado Revised Statutes, which
requires that 1/6 of the boundary of each annexation be contiguous to existing city limits.
Public Input:
William Welch,1224 Twin Oak Court, Fort Collins, represents CWH Properties and Connell Resources
which owns the east side of most of the proposed annexations from County Road 36 going north
about 2/3 of the way to Harmony Road. He wanted to ask why this is being done and what are the
impacts of having a piece of property annexed as public open lands adjacent to an industrial area
that's going to be there for quite some time. Waido said they are not annexing any of the property
just the 1-25 right-of-way. All the property being annexed is in the City's Growth Management Area
boundary and according to the City's agreement with Larimer County will be annexed once a petition
is received. The basis for zoning of Public Open Lands (POL) is the City's Comprehensive Plan (aka
City Plan). The Structure Plan Map (adopted by City Council) shows the area to be natural areas in
part of the Timnath/Windsor/Fort Collins separator. It is true that Timnath has their own plan and they
have designated the areas east of 1-25 differently than what the City Structure Plan shows but the
basis for the City of Fort Collins's zoning is the Structure Plan.
Chair Schmidt commented that last month the Board recommended the annexation of another public
open land. At that time the Board was informed the City is going through a series of annexations as a
.,clean-up" measure so that City public open lands located in the County and become available
((contiguous to city limits) will be annexed per the Larimer County/City of Fort Collins
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA).
Chair Schmidt called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
