As a result of the long history of discussions centering on 209 East Skyway, staff is
recommending Council consider these changes now, rather than delay a decision further and
include this item as part of the South College Corridor Plan process (Planning and Zoning
Board recommendation), anticipated to be completed at the end of 2008.

majority vote, extend a meeting until no later than 12:00 a.m. for the purpose of considering additional items
of business. Any matter which has been commenced and is still pending at the conclusion of the Council

29. Items Relating to the East Sk way Rezoning. (15 minute staff presentation - 1 hour
discussion)
A. Resolution 2007-107 Amending the City's Structure Plan Map Pertaining to Land
along Skyway Drive East of College Avenue.
B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 146, 2007, Amending the Zoning Map
of the City of Fort Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for that Certain
Property Known as the East Skyway Rezoning.
This area was annexed into the City as part of Phase I of the Southwest Enclave Annexation
in April, 2007, under a Structure Plan designation of Urban Estate (U-E). The original intent
of designating U-E for these properties was to acknowledge the existing large -lot County
parcels zoned Farming in the County; U-E is the City's zoning that is most similar to the
County's zoning.
Staff has since considered the situation along this part of East Skyway in much more detail,
in extensive discussions with owners, neighbors, and the County. These discussions have
been prompted by issues related to an existing business at 209 East Skyway and by the recent
annexation process in 2007. Staff finds that the properties along Skyway do not reflect the
character of the Farming or Urban Estate designations, but bear closer resemblance to both
the commercial uses in the area and the existing residential neighborhood (which is more
dense than Urban Estate) to the north and east.
