For the
Harmony Farm Second Annexation
The following principles and related policies are extracted from "City Plan: Fort Collins,
Colorado Comprehensive Plan," and are reiterated to show the conformance of this petition for
annexation with the city's documented intentions.
PRINCIPLE GM-2: The City will consider the annexation of new territory into the City limits
when the annexation of such property conforms to the vision, goals, and policies of City Plan.
Policy GM-2.1 Annexation Policies. The City Council will weigh the following factors when
considering the annexation of new land into the incorporated limits:
• Statutory requirements. The property must meet all statutory requirements for
annexation according to the laws of the State of Colorado.
Property to be annexed located within the Community Growth Management
Area. The property must be currently located within the Community Growth
Management Area boundary, or the boundary must be amended by actions of the
City (and County, if necessary) before the City approves the proposed annexation.
Annexation of County enclaves. The City will pursue annexation of
vacant/undeveloped land included in a county enclave (i.e., an area completely
surrounded by property already in the City) within one year after such property
becomes eligible for involuntary annexation.
PRINCIPLE UGE-1: The City's development will be contained by well-defined boundaries.
Policy UGE-1.2 Collaboration with the County. The City will cooperate with Larimer County
to accomplish a compact urban pattern with identifiable edges.
