Staff is recommending that the property be placed in the LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use

Background:
The applicant, M. Torgerson Architects, on behalf of the property owners, John and Julie

southeast corner of West Vine Drive and Impala Drive.
The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. According to policies
and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the
Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area, the City will agree
to consider annexation of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation
according to State Law. This property complies with State regulations by meeting the
requirement for 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits. This occurs through a common
boundary with the Irish Second Annexation (December, 2000) to the north.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:

FA in Larimer County;
E: FA in Larimer County;

existing single-family residential (unplatted, Green
Acres Subdivision)

Subdivision, Irish Green Acres Subdivision)
The requested zoning for this annexation is the LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood Zoning District. There are numerous uses permitted in this District, subject
to either administrative review or review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The City's
adopted Structure Plan, a part of the Comprehensive Plan, suggests that a Low Density
Mixed -Use Residential Neighborhood is appropriate in this location.
Staff is recommending that this property be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign
District, which was established for the purpose of regulating signs for non-residential uses
in certain geographical areas of the City which may be particularly affected by such signs
because of their predominantly residential use and character. A map amendment would
not be necessary to place this property on the Residential Neighborhood Sign District Map.
