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.
