Nearest available power to serve this annexation is at the intersection of
County Road 52 and County Road 9.
Customers may have to wait to transfer power until such time as the
surrounding areas develop or it becomes feasibly possible for the City to
extend service to these customers.

The requested Fort Collins Urban Growth Management Boundary change will
trigger an amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between
the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County, The IGA amendment would
include a modification to Exhibit 1, the Fort Collins Growth Management
Area (GMA) Map. Such an action, which takes approval by the City Council
and Larimer County Board of Commissioners, would need to precede any
action by the City of Fort Collins to annex the Bridewater Farms property.
Based upon the requirements of City Plan and the development review
procedures found in the City's Land Use Code, staff has identified the
following sequence of events for the applicant's request for
IGA/UGMA/Structure Plan amendment and annexation:
1. City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board review and
recommendation to City Council. Staff has tentatively scheduled this review
for the April 3, 2003 meeting. The staff will be recommending that the Board
deny the applicant's request to amend the UGMA boundary based upon the
recommendations provided through the first phase of the City Plan 5-year
update and recommendations of Larimer County Parks and Open Lands,
2. Review of a City Council Resolution initiating an amendment to the UGMA
boundary and IGA. If the City Council votes in the affirmative at this point in
the process, any approval would be conditioned upon Larimer County
approval of the amendments.
3. Larimer County Planning Commission review and recommendation to the
Larimer County Board of Commissioners.
4. Larimer County Board of Commissioners review and action on the
requested amendments.
5. City Council public hearing and Ist reading of an ordinance annexing the
property and zoning.

1. Policy GM-2.1 states that the property must be currently located within the
GMA to be annexed, or the boundary must be amended by actions of the
City and County.
2. The timing of this proposal to amend the GMA and annex into the City is a
challenge now for staff to respond with support. An update of City Plan is
currently taking place. Recent discussions between staff, City Plan Advisory
Committee, City Council and the County reflect little or no support for a
GMA expansion in this area and subsequent annexation. As a result, City
staff at this time will not support the Project.
Number: 5 Created: 2/21 /2003
Growth Management Area Boundary (GMA)
1. An amendment to the GMA requires a decision by both the City Council
and Board of County Commissioners. As mentioned above, the City Council
appears reluctant to support a GMA expansion at this time. Furthermore, the
County is interested in pursuing implementation strategies to preserve
agricultural lands within this area and in-between Wellington and Fort Collins
further to the north.
