Board Questions:
Member Lingle asked if LaFarge is the holder of the current reclamation permit. Ms. Johnson said that
currently they are but they are in transition and by the end of next week, the property owner (Stoner) will
hold that reclamation permit.
Member Lingle asked Stoner if there is a time limit established by the State of Colorado on that permit.
Stoner said he wasn't sure if he had an answer to that question. What he does know is they've applied
to become the successor operator (taking over LaFarge's responsibility) and replace their bond with
theirs. Their plan, using TST Engineering, is to submit a revised reclamation plan (aka the development
plan). The Bureau of Reclamation does not have jurisdiction nor do they care to monitor developments.
Their mission is to make sure that reclamation plans are in compliance. He said when annexed, the City
would be the jurisdiction to ensure they meet their requirements. Stoner is not sure if there is a time limit
on the reclamation permit. When the work is completed to the Bureau's satisfaction, they will sign off
and release the bond.
Chair Scmidt asked when they take over as the successor operator if they accept LaFarge's plan until
the new development plan gets approved. Stoner said correct. She asked if he'd be submitting his PDP
before that goes to the State. Stoner said they'd be submitting simultaneously —the same plan would go
to Fort Collins staff and to the State Bureau of Reclamation.
Member Lingle said at the work session there was some discussion about whether they should approve
an'open-ended' grading plan where there could be dust generation, etc. for an indefinite period of time.
Lingle asked if anything were to exceed the requirements of the reclamation would it be subject to the
standard PDP timeline. Shepard said correct. Lingle said the "part ahead of that" could take six months
or 5 years if the State has no time restrictions. Shepard said he cannot speak for the State but maybe
Anne Johnson of LaFarge can.
Anne Johnson said generally state permits are open-ended and the end target really is in the hands of
the end user. She knows Mr. Stoner has been working very closing with the State Division of Mining,
Reclamation, and Safety. They are aware of end plans but the timing would be something the Board
could work out with him. The State guidelines want to see progress and reclamation made within a five
year timeframe. Often times, depending on extenuating circumstances such as weather or acts of God,
a site cannot be reclaimed within a five year period and the State does recognize when it's beyond an
operator's control.
Member Campana asked if Mr. Stoner was okay with the revisions to the condition. Shepard said yes.
Member Campana made a motion to approve the annexation of Riverwalk with approval of zoning
of the northerly 139.65 acres into the T, Transition Zone with the modified condition shown on
page 7 of the revised staff report; and approval of zoning of the southerly 126 acres into the P-O-
L, Public Open Land Zone as well as placement of both zone districts Into the Residential
Neighborhood Sign District based on the findings of fact/conclusion listed (A-F) on page 6 of the
revised staff report. Member Lingle seconded the motion. The motion passed 7:0.
Planning & Zoning Board
September 17, 2009
Page 6
Staff recommends that the Riverwalk Annexation be approved and that the northerly 139.65 acres parcel
be placed into the T, Transition zone and that the southerly 126 acres be placed into the P-O-L, Public
Open Land zone. In addition, staff recommends both zone districts be placed within the Residential
Neighborhood Sign District. Further, staff recommends the following condition of zoning:
The placement into the Transition zone shall restrict the uses on the property as prescribed in
Section 4.12 of the Land Use Code. Notwithstanding the aforementioned restrictions, however,
the parcel of land zoned Transition shall be allowed to conduct earth -moving activities that are
necessary to complete the terms and conditions of the State of Colorado Mined Land
Reclamation Board and shall be allowed to add fill dirt, stockpile and grade said fill dirt in order to
establish the necessary grades for future development. Any earth work activity that exceeds the
requirements for gravel pit reclamation is subject to approval of a Project Development Plan by
the Planning and Zoning Board as a Type 2 review in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the Land Use Code.
Jay Stoner, 605 S. College, Fort Collins said what they are proposing is a modified version of Riverwalk
where the City would be purchasing a reservoir on the south half (126 acres of Public Open Lands) for a
2,000 acre foot "bowl". They are pleased they were able to successfully negotiate a win -win agreement.
It'll make interesting trails and open space and a nice connection to the Eagle View Open Space to the
south.
The development proposal they are, looking at is a very transit oriented urban -dense type development.
Considering growth to the community and the Northern Colorado region, Harmony and 1-25 is and will
continue to gain importance as a transit hub offeririg connections to Mason Street Corridor and other
transit corridors. They'd like to develop it as a high density, mixed use, affordable housing site where you
wouldn't need a car. You could walk, bike, or use public transportation to get to anything you'd need —
the "20 minute lifestyle". They'll have more later on "gateway zoning" and "green° efforts and making a
beautiful first impression for people exiting 1-25 at Harmony.
Board Questions:
Chair Schmidt said a concern the Board had at the work session was the Board is presuming he's put a
lot of planning and thought into this development already. They'd like the opportunity to give a little more
input when the time is appropriate with regard to the earth moving plan and how it'll fit into the final
design. Stoner agreed that when the Project Development Plan is submitted, they'll discuss all other
aspects at greater detail.
Public Input:
Anne Johnson is the Land Manager for LaFarge North America, 1141 Business Park Circle, Longmont.
On September 15t' she said the Board would have received a letter requesting a continuance. The
property owner and LaFarge are working to resolve some issues and she is present today, on behalf of
LaFarge, to say they are fine with the project proceeding to City Council.

Project: Riverwalk Annexation and Zoning, # 27-09
Project Description. This is a request to annex and zone an assemblage of land totaling 265.65 acres.
The site is referred to as Riverwalk and located between Harmony Road on the
north, 1-25 on the east, Kechter Road on the south and the Fossil Creek Reservoir
Inlet Ditch on the west. Contiguity with the existing municipal boundary is gained
along a portion of the northern boundary which is shared with the Arapahoe Bend
Second Annexation and a portion of the west boundary which is shared with the
Stute Annexation Number Three, the Brookfield Annexation and the Sunrise Ridge
First and Second Annexations.
Recommendation: Approval of the Annexation; Approval of Zoning the Northerly 139.65 acres into the
T, Transition Zone with a condition; Approval of Zoning the southerly 126 acres
into the P-O-L, Public Open Land Zone; Placement of both zone districts into the
Residential Neighborhood Sign District.
Hearing Testimony Written Comments and Other Evidence
Senior City Planner Ted Shepard said this is a 100% voluntary annexation for a property located within
the Growth Management Area. The property satisfies the requirement that no less than one -sixth of the
perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing City boundary. The condition on the zoning would be
to allow stockpiling, gravel pit reclamation and over lot grading as a permitted use in the Transition zone.
Dividing the annexation into two zone districts is by mutual consent among the owners and the City of
Fort Collins. Staff also recommends both zone districts be placed within the Residential Neighborhood
Sign District. The Initiating Resolution was considered by City Council on August 18, 2009 and
approved. The item is scheduled for first reading by City Council on October 6, 2009.
Section 2.9.4(I) allows the City to add conditions -to a zoning request. The site'is currently in the County
and the owners are operating under a State permit to reclaim the former gravel pit. This basically
involves re -contouring the site and restoring the ground cover in accordance with the standards of the
State Mined Land Reclamation Board. If a permanent water body is created, then it must be certified by
the State Engineer and properly augmented with sufficient water rights to compensate for evaporation
loss. In addition to reclamation work, the Riverwalk developer would like to conduct over lot grading in
order to create developable ground that is out of the 100-year floodway and floodplain. There would be
significant cost efficiency if the over lot grading could be done in conjunction with the gravel pit
reclamation work.
Staff supports the continuation of the reclamation work. Further, Staff would support a Project
Development Plan application that describes the extent of the earth work necessary to create the
developable parcels. Since the Transition zone does not allow new earth work, such work under the
Transitional zone would need to be added as an allowable use as a condition of zoning.

AGREEMENT
Regarding Deferral of Annexation Fees
THIS AGREEMENT Regarding Deferral of Annexation Fees ("Agreement") is entered into
by and between THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS, a Colorado municipal corporation ("City"),
JAY D. STONER ("Stoner") and STONER AND COMPANY, a Colorado corporation ("Stoner
and Company"), and is effective as of July 31, 2009.
RECITALS
1. On April 24, 2009, Stoner provided the City with an annexation submittal for an area named
Riverwalk (the "Annexation Petition"), which area consists of property more particularly described on
Attachment A, attached and incorporated herein by reference (the Riverwalk Property).
2. The City has not begun to process the Annexation Petition because Stoner owes the City Seven
Thousand Two Hundred Fourteen and 50/100 Dollars ($7,214.50) in fees that were due upon delivery
to the City of the Annexation Petition (the "Annexation Fees"), pursuant to Section 2.2.3(D) of the
City of Fort Collins Land Use Code and the City's Development Review Fee Schedule.
3. In consideration of the potential benefit to the City of both the proposed annexation and the
proposed conveyance to the City by Stoner and Company of the property located at 4308 E. County
Road 36, Fort Collins, CO, the City has agreed to defer payment of the Annexation Fees for up two
years, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Stoner will pay the Annexation Fees in full no later than August 1, 2011, or upon submission to
the City of any development application or development plan as defined in Section 5.1.2 of the City's
Land Use Code for any portion of the Riverwalk Property, whichever comes first. The City will not
accept any development application or development plan for any portion of the Riverwalk Property
until the Annexation Fees have been paid in full. Stoner's obligation to pay the Annexation Fees will
not be extinguished by (a) withdrawal of the Annexation Petition after the effective date of this
Agreement; or (b) denial of the Annexation Petition by the Fort Collins City Council, if either such
event should occur.
2. Nothing in this Agreement should be construed as a determination of the sufficiency of the
Annexation Petition. If the Annexation Petition is determined to be sufficient, the City will proceed to
process the Annexation Petition in accordance with Colorado law and its usual policies and
procedures.
3. This Agreement is binding upon the parties and their successors in interest and assigns;
however, should the City acquire any portion of the Riverwalk Property, including the property at 4308
E. County Road 36, the City will not have any obligation to pay any portion of the Annexation Fees.
The obligation to pay the full amount of the Annexation Fees will remain with Stoner and Stoner and
Company or their other successors in interest in the Riverwalk Property. The City may record this
Agreement in the real property records of the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder.

Compliance with State Law
The annexation has 31.33% of its perimeter boundary contiguous with existing City limits which
exceeds the required one -sixth as mandated by State law. Further, the parcel is found to have a
community of interest with the City and the parcel is expected to urbanize shortly.
Findings of Fact/Conclusion
In evaluating the request for the Riverwalk Annexation and Zoning, staff makes the following
findings of fact: DstentA
�`� �j1. The annexation of this parcel �iscwith the poli\cl\i7e�s'and agreements between Larimer
County and the City of Fofr Collins asJcontained—in the amended Intergovernmental
Agreement — Growth Management Area.
2. The parcel meets all criteria included in state law to qualify for annexation by the City of
Fort Collins.
3. The two requested zone districts, T, Transition, and P-O-L, Public Open Lands, are in
conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan (Harmony Corridor Plan) and the City
Structure Plan Map. ��

5. On August 18, 2009, City Council adopted Resolution 2009-080, which accepted the
annexation petition and determined that the petition is in compliance with State law.
Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation
On September 17, 2009, the Planning and Zoning Board took the following action:
1. The Board voted 7 - 0 tore omend mMexahon iinto�he municipal boundary and inclusion
into the Residential Sign District\�
2. The Board voted 7 — 0 to recommend placement of the northerly 139.65 acres into the T,
Transition zone district, subject to the following zoning condition:
Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Section 4.12 of the Land Use Code, earth -
moving activities that are necessary to complete the -terms and conditions of the State of
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for reclamation of the former gravel pit on the
property, as well as the addition, stockpiling and grading of fill dirt in order to establish the
necessary grades for future development of the property, shall also be permitted. Any earth
work activity that exceeds the equife nts f ggravel'pit reclamation is subject to submittal,
review and approval of a Project Development,P.Ian subject to review by the Planning and
Zoning Board in accordance with �th� �dJUsse Code
October 6, 2009 -5- Item No. 21
The location downstream of the Drake Water Reclamation Facility is strategic and will allow the
City to meet certain water management objectives and obligations related to the storage and release
of the City's reusable effluent as prescribed by City water rights decrees. The City of Fort Collins
Water Utility Capital Fund has already appropriated funding for acquisition and development of
gravel pit water storage on a regional basis. The Water Utility expects to gain approximately
between 1,500 and 2,000 acre feet of water storage upon execution of the terms of the purchase
contract.
C. Natural Area
Reclaimed gravel mines, and heir surroun" " ding 'dry' Ian. are`pr me candidates for future natural
areas. Examples of restored 4Ml vel pits cony erted to natural areas include Riverbend Ponds,
Arapaho Bend and McMurry Ponds. App o imafely`48 acres'ef the proposed acquisition will be
added to the City's natural areas inventory to be restored to enhance habitat.and recreational
opportunities. Eagle View Natural Area is to the south and Arapaho Bend Natural Area is to the
north. In the future, all three areas are planned to be linked by a trail. Finally, an additional 48 acres
of open space along I-25 will mitigate the urbanization expected at the major interchanges.
Structure Plan and Harmony Corridor Plan
The Structure Plan Map indicates=three dd�e/signations:
• CIE
mployment"'in�the northwest�� I e
• "Poudre River" in thenortheast quarter
• "Rural Lands" in the southern one-half.
The parcel is also contained within the boundary of the Harmony Corridor Plan and designated as
"Basic Industrial and Non -Retail Employment Activity Center."
The proposed zoning on the northerly 139.65 acres, T, Transition, acknowledges that further
planning efforts are warranted in order to place this area into an ultimate zone district. Until such
time, a Structure Plan amendmentis not needed. 71
�I� �� x
The proposed zoning on the southerly 126 acres�'pp-O-L!Public Open Lands, is consistent with the
"Rural Lands" Structure Plan designati6n4or ezarn�'�le the u H dose of the Rural Lands zone district

October 6, 2009 -4- Item No. 21
Staff, therefore, recommends the following condition of zoning:
Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Section 4.12 of the Land Use Code,
earth -moving activities that are necessary to. complete the terms and conditions of
the State of Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for reclamation of the former
gravel pit on the property, as well as the addition, stockpiling and grading of fill dirt
in order to establish the necessary grades for future development of the property,
shall also bye permitted. Any earth work activity that exceeds the requirements for
gravel pit reclamation is subject to submittal, review and approval of a Project
Development Plan subject rev`'iew by the lanningl'and Zoning Board in
accordance with the Land Use Code. 1
Zoning — Requested Zoning — Public Open Land
The southerly 126 acres are proposed to be zoned P-O-L, Public Open Land. The Land Use Code
describes this zone district as follows: ,
Purpose. The Public Open Lands District is for large publicly owned parks and open
lands which have a community -wide emphasis or other characteristics which warrant
inclusion under this separate designation rather than inclusion in an adjoining
neighborhood or other �Qiistrict1dees�ignati1onMonact
The City of Fort Collins has en'te' red into purchase to acquire the southerly 126 acres for a
variety of purposes.
a. Flood Control
Significant portions of the southerly 126 acres are located within both the 100-year floodway and
floodplain, as designated by the Flood Insurance Rate Maps of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency. Approximately 80 acres are a former gravel pit and are undergoing reclamation under a
permit from the State of Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. With sufficient freeboard,
reclaimed gravel pits can serve as of ective flood conveyance channeIs without having to build
costly flood control structures.
b. Water Storage
Development of reclaimed gravel pits as water storage reservoirs can provide the following benefits:
• They can serve as sources of raw water for water treatment.
• They can be used as compensating reservoirs to accommodate water trades among various
entities.
• They can supplement effluent discharges from wastewater treatment facilities.
• They can add to minimum stream flows in the Poudre River.

Existing large -lot residential
Staff is recommending placement into the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. This is
particularly appropriate for the southerly 126 acres. For the northerly 139.65 acres, however, this
designation is appropriate for the T, Transition zone. Future re -zoning into an ultimate zone district
will be the result of additional,,planmngrac'tivity ana-any reconsiaeration out of the Residential
Neighborhood Sign District may, be made at that tiriie.
Zoning - Requested Zoning — Transition
The northerly 139.65 are proposed to be zoned T, Transition. The Land Use Code describes this
zone district as follows:
Purpose. The Transition District is intended for properties for which there are no
specific and immediate plans for development. The only permitted uses are those
existing at the date the property was-pla`cednilnto-thisrDistriyct.
The owners have indicated that ere are(no spep�fic;and immediate plans for development. While
.in the Transition zone, the owners%and,'the-Cityt of Fort.Collins can evaluate various future
development scenarios. The owners may at any time petition to remove the property from the
Transition zone and place it in another zone district.
The Transition zone district accomplishes the purpose of annexing the property while placing the
ultimate zoning decision in abeyance.
Condition of Zoning to Allow Earth Work in.the T Zone
Section 2.9.4(I) of the Land Use Cod � allows the City to add conditions to a zoning request. The
ra i.r a r.\\a
site is currently in the Count and the owners operating cyder a State permit to reclaim the
former gravel pit on the northerly�portio�This. basically volves recontouring the site and
restoring the ground cover in accordance with the standards of the State Mined Land Reclamation
Board. If a permanent water body is created, then it must be certified by the State Engineer and
properly augmented with sufficient water rights to compensate for evaporation loss.
In addition to reclamation work, the Riverwalk developer would like to conduct overlot grading in
order to create developable ground that is out of the 100-year floodway and floodplain. There would
be significant cost efficiency if the overlot grading could be done in conjunction with the gravel pit
reclamation work.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Items Relating to the Riverwalk Annexation and Zoning.
ITEM NUMBER: 5
DATE: October 27, 2009
STAFF: Ted Shepard
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of this Ordinance on Second Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 099, 2009, Annexing Property Known as the Riverwalk
Annexation to the City.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 100, 2009, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort
Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Riverwalk
Annexation to the City.
These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 6, 2009 annex and zone
265.65 acres generally located at the southwest quadrant of Interstate 25 and East Harmony Road.
The site is bounded by I-25 on the east, Harmony Road on the north, the Fossil Creek Reservoir Inlet
Ditch on the west and Kechter Road on the south. The requested zoning is T, Transition.
The applicant has asked that the zoning for the south half of the property be amended on Second
Reading from Public Open Lands District (POL) to Transition District (T). This is consistent with
the petition for annexation, which requests that the entire property be placed in the T zone. Staff and
the P&Z Board initially recommended that the south half of the property be placed in the Public
Open Lands (POL) zone since the anticipated use of that portion.of the property is for a water storage
facility. However, staff does not object to the request to place the entire parcel in the T-Transition
Zone District as the land use regulations that would control the property are not impacted. The
property, if zoned T-Transition, would require a subsequent zone change before any development
could occur except that the proposed zoning condition recommended by the P&Z would allow dirt
removal in accordance with a Type II permit. Staff believes that rezoning the entire parcel T does
not impact the City's ability to ensure the property conforms with the City's adopted Plans, Policies
and Regulations.
