Harmony Farm Second Annexation
This in an involuntary annexation. The area to be annexed is the entirety of an
enclave that has been surrounded by the City of Fort Collins for more than three
years, therefore there is no annexation petition required for this annexation.
In accordance with CRS 31-12-106 Annexation of Enclaves, Partially Surrounded
Land, and Municipally Owned Land, when any unincorporated area is entirely
contained within the boundaries of a municipality, the governing body may
by ordinance annex such territory to the municipality without complying with:
• CRS 31-12-104 Eligibility for Annexation; or
• CRS 31-12-105 Limitations; or
• CRS 31-12-108 Setting Hearing Date; or
• CRS 31-12-109 Hearing,
if said area has been so surrounded for a period of not less than three
years; except that notice of the proposed annexation ordinance shall be given by
publication as provided by section 31-12-108, however for notices of annexation
petitions and resolutions initiating annexation proceedings, no public hearing on
the proposed annexation ordinance shall be required, and the first publication of
notice shall be at least thirty days prior to the adoption of the ordinance.
It is the intent of the City of Fort Collins to process this annexation with the same
hearing process the City typically uses for annexations, regardless of the City's
ability to shorten that process as allowed by CRS 31-12-106. The only difference
between this involuntary annexation and a typical voluntary annexation will be
that the application does not include a petition for annexation.
