November 12, 2008 -2- Item No. 5 A-D BACKGROUND Applicant and Property Owner: City of Fort Collins The City of Fort Collins acquired the property known as the Eagle View Natural Area, containing a total of approximately 86 acres, in October 2002. City staff is recommending that the City Council annex the property into the City limits. Due to the size of the property and the limited amount of contiguity to the existing City limits, the property is being annexed via two annexations, the Eagle View Natural Area First Annexation (containing 66.9 acres) and the Eagle View Natural Area Second Annexation (containing 19.1 acres). The first phase consists of 66.9 acres and the second consists of 19.1 acres. The Eagle View Natural Area is located south of Kechter Road, one -quarter mile west of I-25, and north of the Fossil Creek Reservoir. As indicated, the property is preserved as a City -owned natural area and, thus, the proposed zoning for the annexations is the POL — Public Open Lands District, consistent with the property's designation on the City Structure Plan.. The existing land uses and zoning of surrounding properties are as follows: N: County - FA-1 Farming, undeveloped E: County - C, Commercial, boat sales; and FA-1 Farming, undeveloped S: Fossil Creek Reservoir W: City - LMN, Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood, residential development; and County -FA-1 Farming, undeveloped Compliance with Existing Policies and State Law The natural area property is located totally within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area (GMA). According to policies and agreements between the City and Latimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreementfor the Fort Collins Growth ManagementArea, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible for annexation — according to State law. The Eagle View Natural Area First Annexation parcel gains its required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits from a common boundary with the McClelland's Creek PD & PLD Second Filing Annexation (September 2007) to the west of the parcel. The Eagle View Natural Area Second Annexation parcel gains its required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits from a common boundary with the Eagle View Natural Area First Annexation to the north of the parcel. The two parcels are being annexed concurrently which is permitted by the State of Colorado Revised Statutes as they relate to annexations. Because the parcels are solely owned by the City, they may be annexed without notice and hearing. Proposed Zoning The proposed zoning for the Eagle View Natural Area is the POL — Public Open Lands, which is consistent with the City Structure Plan and with recommendations from the adopted Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan, an element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The POL District is for large publicly owned parks and open lands which have community -wide emphasis or other characteristics which warrant inclusion under this separate designation rather than inclusion in an adjoining neighborhood or other zoning district designations.
