The property is partially developed as a roadway (Trilby Road), with the remainder being undeveloped. It is in the FA — Farming Zoning District in Larimer County. The requested zoning for this annexation is LMN — Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood and UE — Urban Estate. The surrounding properties are zoned FA 1 (to the north, in Larimer County), LMN and UE (to the east), FA (to the west, in Larimer County), and FA (to the south, in Larimer County). This is a 100% voluntary annexation. * This is a 6.54 acre tract that includes a portion of the north `/z of the Trilby Road right-of- way (west of South Shields Street) and a 32' to 39' wide strip of land that is contiguous to but outside of the City of Fort Collins Urban Growth Area boundary. The strip of land runs north — south along the west side of the Registry Ridge PUD, First and Third Filings, both residential developments in the City. The requested LMN portion of the site is 4.208 acres in size and the requested UE portion of the site is 2.333 acres in size. The proposed break between the two zoning districts corresponds to the existing zoning delineation in the Registry Ridge PUD to the east. The subject property is located partially within and partially outside of 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, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State Law.
