Planning & Zoning Board September 20, 2007 Page 2 Project: Old Oak Estates Annexation and Zoning, # 25-07 Project Description: This is a request to annex and zone a 5.25 acre parcel. The site is located at 5227 Strauss Cabin Road located approximately one-half mile south of East Harmony Road. Contiguity with the existing municipal boundary is gained along the entire northern boundary, which is shared with the Sunrise Ridge Second Filing subdivision. Contiguity is also gained along the entire western boundary, which is shared with the Willowbrook (Observatory Village) subdivision. Strauss Cabin Road forms the east boundary. The requested zoning is Urban Estate, which is in conformance with the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. Recommendation: Approval of the Annexation and Zoning and Placement into the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. Hearing Testimony. Written Comments and Other Evidence Chief Planner Ted Shepard reported this is a 100% voluntary annexation for a property located within the Growth Management Area. Originally part of a large farm, the seven lots that front on the section line road were split off from the original farm approximately 25 years ago. All seven lots were included in the boundary area of the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan jointly adopted by the City and Larimer County in 1999. The abutting 15 acres to the north is known as the Sunrise Ridge First and Second Annexations. These parcels were annexed and zoned Urban Estate in 2005 and 2006 respectively. Sunrise Ridge First Filing Subdivision was approved in October of 2006. Sunrise Ridge Second Filing Subdivision is still pending. The parcel gains the necessary one -sixth contiguity along the entire north and west property lines. Of the total perimeter boundary, the parcel has 50% contiguity with the City limits. This substantially exceeds the required minimum of 16.66% (one -sixth). The property satisfies the requirement that no less than one -sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing City boundary. The applicant's requested zoning of U-E, Urban Estate, is in compliance with the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan and Structure Plan Map. Staff recommends the parcel be placed within the Residential Neighborhood Sign District The applicant had nothing further to add. Public Input Robert Palmer, 4000 E County Road 36, wondered who'd be providing water service. Staff member Shepard answered that water and sewer will continue to be provided by a special district by agreement with the City. The only change is as property is annexed into the city and City services are made available, they would convert to City utilities. Palmer asked if the zoning would make it commercial. Shepard responded Zone UE (Urban Estate) does not allow commercial uses —it is a residential zone.
