The recommended zoning is the LMN—Low-Density Mixed Use Neighborhood. The property is located within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. KGROUND: The annexation application complies with the applicable Colorado Revised Statutes. 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 recommended zoning is the LMN — Low -Density Mixed Use Neighborhood. This.is a 100% voluntary 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 890.55 feet of its total boundary of approximately 5340.54 feet contiguous to the existing city limits. This exceeds the minimum 890.09 feet required to achieve 1 /6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Staley Annexation (May 2001). 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 has obtained final plat approval and the transaction of certain transferred development units (TDUs) has taken place. This property has in fact obtained said final plat approval with the County under this process.
