B. IGA Section 6 — Applications for Development Within the GMA Zoning District.
(1) IGA Section 6(B) - The County may accept development applications for lands
located within any area that is part of a $,receiving area" established through an
adopted subarea plan for any Larimer County Transferable Density Units
Program. At such time as the County requires the landowner in a receiving area
to request annexation to the City, the City will process the annexation petition.
The land constituting the Fossil Lake P.U.D. — Swift Addition is the same area
that the applicant is requesting to annex with this annexation. Fossil Lake
P.U.D. — Swift Addition was an approved development in the county's "receiving
area."
4. Land Use Code Standards
A. LUC Section 2.12 Annexation of Land - This section of the Land Use Code requires:
(1) that the annexation of lands be in accordance with state law,
(2) that the Planning and Zoning Board shall hold a hearing on the matter and report
a recommendation to the City Council, and
(3) that a recommendation on the proper zoning for the lands be provided.
The annexation conforms to the requirements in the Colorado Revised Statutes
(CRS). This hearing will be the forum through which the Planning and Zoning
Board will forward a recommendation to Council. The recommended zoning is LMN
- Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood and UE — Urban Estate.
B. LUC Section 2.9 Amendment to the Zoning Map — This section of the Land Use
Code requires that any amendment to the Zoning Map involving the zoning or
rezoning of 640 acres of land or less (a quasi-judicial zoning/rezoning) shall be
recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board or approved by the
City Council only if the proposed amendment is:
(1) consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; and/or
(2) warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and
including the subject property.
The property is currently zoned FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County. The
requested zoning for this annexation is the LMN - Low Density Mixed Use
Neighborhood District and the UE — Urban Estate District. The City's adopted
Structure Plan, a part of the Comprehensive Plan, suggests that a this combination
of Low Density Mixed Use Residential Neighborhood and Urban Estate is
appropriate for this location.

than 50% of the territory included in the area proposed to be annexed, exclusive of

(2) IGA Section 8(B) - The City agrees it will not annex property within the Fossil

COMMENTS:
1. Background
The surrounding zoning and land uses as follows:
N: FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County - existing agricultural.
LMN — future neighborhood park, Zach Elementary School, Kechter Road,
Observatory Village neighborhood.
E: FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County — existing agricultural.
S: FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County — existing agricultural, Fossil Creek
Reservoir,
W: LMN — Fossil Lake P.U.D. 2"d Filing neighborhood (under construction).
The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Management Area (UGMA)
and in the Fossil Creek Reservoir Planning Area. The Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan
(jointly adopted by the City and County) specifies that development applications for lands
within the Fossil Lake Reservoir Planning Area that are south of Kechter Road and East of
Timberline Road will be processed by the County in accordance with Larimer County
Development Standards for the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area in the Fort Collins Growth
Management Area, and that the City will not annex the land until such development
applications have obtained final plat approval and the transaction of certain Transferred
Development Units (TDUs) has taken place.
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
be necessary to place this property within the Residential Neighborhood Sign District.
2. State Law — Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) & The Colorado Constitution
A. CRS 31-12-104 —Eligibility for Annexation:
This property is eligible for annexation according to CRS, requiring 1/6 contiguity to the
existing city limits. This annexation application complies with this standard since the
property has 1042 feet of its total boundary of approximately 6107 feet contiguous to
the existing City limits. This exceeds the minimum 1018 feet required to achieve 1/6
contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Fossil Lake
Annexation No. 1 and the Fossil Lake Annexation No. 2.
B. CRS 31-12-107 —Petitions for Annexation:
The petition for annexation meets this CRS section which requires that the petition

Fort Collins, CO 80525
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This is the annexation and zoning of approximately 55 acres of privately owned property
known as the Fossil Lake P.U.D. — Swift Addition, which is a County -approved
development in the Fossil Creek Reservoir Planning Area. The recommended zoning is a
combination of the LMN — Low -Density Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District, and the
UE — Urban Estate Zoning District.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the annexation and recommends that the property be
placed in the LMN — Low -Density Mixed Use Neighborhood Zoning District, and the UE —
Urban Estate Zoning District.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The annexation application complies with the applicable state law, the Intergovernmental
Agreement between Fort Collins and Larimer County, and the applicable criterion in the
Fort Collins Land Use Code. The property is in the FA-1 Farming District in Larimer
County. The development approval of the Fossil Lake P.U.D. — Swift Addition was granted
by Larimer County, and became effective on March 26, 2003. The initial grading work has

permits will be issued under the City's jurisdiction. The recommended zoning is the LMN —
