BACKGROUND:
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 Growth Management Area (GMA). According to
policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Latimer 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.
