EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to initiate the annexation process for Mail Creek Crossing. A written petition has been submitted requesting annexation of 39.608 acres located on the north side of Zephyr Road, approximately 1,450 feet east of South Timberline Road (just east of Bacon Elementary). The property is located within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. In accordance with the Intergovernmental Agreement with Larimer County, adopted in 1999, properties within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area receive their land use approvals in the County and are annexed into the City prior to construction. Mail Creek is a residential development containing 137 single family dwelling units; the requested zoning for this annexation is LMN - Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood. The surrounding properties are currently zoned LMN to the south (Timbers Development), north (Kechter Crossing), and east (proposed Kechter Farm development). To the west are LMN zone districts (Bacon Elementary) and MMN - Medium Density Mixed Use Neighborhood (vacant land). 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The proposed Resolution makes a finding that the petition substantially complies with the Municipal Annexation Act, determines that a hearing should be established regarding the annexation, and directs that notice be given of the hearing. The hearing will be held at the time of first reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances not less than thirty days of prior notice is required by State law. The Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County regarding the Cooperative Planning Area adjacent to Fossil Creek Reservoir (adopted on August 31, 1999) and the IGA between the City and County regarding Cooperation on Managing Urban Development (adopted on June 24, 2008) stipulate the following: "The County may accept development applications for lands located within any area that is part of a 'receiving area" established through an adopted subarea plan for any Larimer County Transferable Density Units Program. At such time as the County requires a landowner in a receiving area to request annexation to the City, the City will process the annexation petition such that the annexation, if approved by the City, will be completed within thirty-five (35) days following the County's approval of the final plat' (Section 5B).
