The annexation of this parcel is consistent with the policies'and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fortr,,Collins, as contained : in -the, amended INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT _ GROWTH MANAGEMENT AREA. 2. The parcel is the first in a series of three and, meets all -criteria included in State law to qualify for annexation by the City of Fort:Collins.' . 3.

Commercial Zoning The I-25 Sub Area Plan calls for the placement 'of commercial land uses within designated commercial corridors. The Plan states: "The Commercial Corridors classification is intended to provide for a wide range of community and regional retail uses, as well as offices, business and personal services. The majority of Commercial Corridor areas, near the I-25 /Mulberry Street interchange are, for the most part, undeveloped. While this'classification is typically the location for highwaybusiness and auto -related uses, it also presents opportunities over time to transform existing developed areas' into rniiced-use (including residential), multi -modal centers,..- concurring with the overall vision for Fort Collins." The entire area contained within the annexation is located within one-half mile of East Mulberry Street and one -quarter mile of I-25. The parcel is, under development as approved in Larimer County. Therefore, City staff recommends C. Commercial zoning in conformance with the I-25 Sub Area Plan. C. Boxelder Creek • I The Sub Area Plan identifies the 100-year floodplain of Boxelder Creek as a valuable open land amenity within the corridor. Boxelder Creek runs north -to -south on the east side of the subject parcel and is contained within the boundary of the annexation. Compliance with State Law: As mentioned, the annexation has 16.97% of its perimeter boundary contiguous with existing City limits which exceeds the required one -sixth as mandated by State law. The parcel is found to have a community of interest with the City. The parcel is the first ima series -of three that'will ultimately result in the annexation of 62.33 acres. Annexation is a series is permitted under State Statutes. Finally, the parcel is in the process of developing in an urbanized manner consistent with the development pattern of the City. Notice: For the Planning and Zoning Board hearing of September IS, 2005, written notiee was provided to the affected property owners within 500 feet of the property; -exclusive of public right-of-way, as well as the property owners within the annexation.

Mr. Mokler is aware that the City of Fort Collins is proceeding with the annexation under the teams of the Agreement. Zoning: The proposed zoning for the subject annexation is C, Commercial.

The requested zoning of C, Commercial, complies with the I-25 Sub Area.Plan. Consistency With City Plan and I-25 Sub Area Plan: A.
