EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Fossil Lake Annexation No. 4 consists of approximately 6.026 acres of privately owned
property otherwise known as the Fossil Lake PUD, 3rd Filing, being a re -plat of Tract B, Fossil
Lake P.U.D., Second Filing in Larimer County. 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 the State Annexation Law, requiring 1/6
contiguity to the existing City limits. This annexation application complies with this standard
since the property is completely surrounded by the existing City limits. This contiguity occurs
through a common boundary with the Fossil Lake Annexation No. 3.
The property is located within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area (GMA) and the Fossil
Creek Reservoir Planning Area. It is the City's intent to annex properties within the GMA as
expeditiously as possible as specified in the Intergovernmental Agreement between Fort Collins
and Larimer County (IGA). Although the development within this annexation obtained its
preliminary approval prior to the adoption by the City and County of the Fossil Creek Reservoir
Area Plan, the approved development within the area being annexed was referred to the city for
review and comment, and is consistent with the Plan.
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
