I. Project Description:
Request to annex and zone 10.344t acres and subdivide 8.8 net acres inside the
10.344+_acres approximately one-half mile south of Harmony Road on the west side of Strauss
Cabin Road (County Rd #7). The proposal is to divide the property into 40-45 single family lots.
Rock Creek Drive would be extended through the site from Observatory Village on the west to
Strauss Cabin Road on the east. The parcel contains one existing single family detached
dwelling unit which would remain. The Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch runs across the eastern portion
of the site along Strauss Cabin Road.
Total Perimeter is 2,688 ft; Contiguous Boundary is 1,313 ft; 1/6th Total Perimeter is 448 ft;
Thus, this annexation meets the 1/6 contiguity requirement
The land proposed to be annexed is owned by Kelly & Theresa Smith and Howard R. Mounts
for SUNRISE RIDGE, 5101 Strauss Cabin Road (South C.R. 7)
The landowner proposes to develop 8.8 gross acres, this would allow a maximum of 44
proposed and 1 existing dwelling units. The proposed minimum lot size is 7,666 sf.

Zoning of Property to be Annexed
The existing zoning is Agricultural FA1 (Larimer County). The proposed zoning is LMN LOW
DENSITY MIXED -USE NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT.
The existing zoning around the SUNRISE RIDGE Annexation is: LMN (City of Fort Collins) to

South; and Agricultural FA1 (Larimer County) to the East.
1. The SUNRISE RIDGE Annexation proposal is needed by the City for several reasons. The
property is currently county, surrounded by property on the North & West already annexed into
the City. By annexing the subject property, the City will be closer to implementing several of
their master plans goals for future growth. Some of the infrastructure needed by the City, such
as sewer line expansion and extension of Rock Creek Drive to C.R. 7 can take place. The
project will expand the tax base for the City by property tax on future residential lots. With the
annexation of this property, the City moves closer to realizing the necessary expansion of
infrastructure, economics, and control over the properties located within their growth
boundaries.
