FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: June 4, 2002
FROM: Bob Barkeen
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2002-058 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings for the
Whitham Farms LLC Annexation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Whitham Farms LLC Annexation is 20.04 acres in size, located east of Timberline Drive,
between East Vine Drive and Mulberry Street. The parcel is contiguous to existing City boundaries
by the Buderus First and Second Annexations. The recommended zoning is Transition (T).
The proposed resolution states it is the City's intent to annex this property and directs that the notice
required by State Statutes be given of the Council's hearing to consider the annexation ordinance.
The public hearing for the annexation ordinance must occur no less than 30 days and no more than
60 days from adoption of the resolution finding compliance with State Statutes.
KGROUND:
This property is eligible for annexation according to the Colorado Annexation Act, which requires
1/6 contiguity to the existing city limits. The Whitham Farms LLC Annexation complies with this
standard since the property has 2,642 feet of its total boundary of approximately 3,965 feet
contiguous to the existing city limits. This meets the minimum 661 feet required to achieve 1/6
contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Buderus First and Second
Annexations along the east, north and west property boundaries.
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 (last amended November
2000), the City will pursue the annexation of land into the city of Fort Collins when such lands are
eligible for annexation according to Colorado Revised Statutes.
The property is currently zoned Industrial (1) District in Larimer County. The City's adopted
Structure Plan, a part of City Plan, designates the site as Low Density, Mixed -Use Residential. The
City and Larimer County are currently developing a new land use plan for the East Mulberry
Corridor. This property is included within the study area. There are currently two land use
