Zoning
The property is currently zoned AP -Airport District in Larimer County. The requested zoning
for this annexation is the Public Open Lands District (POL). The City's adopted Structure Plan, a
part of City Plan, designates the site as Rural/Open Lands and Stream Corridors. A zoning
designation of POL is therefore consistent with the Structure Plan designation.
The Planning and Zoning Board Hearing
The Planning and Zoning Board voted 5-0 on July 19, 2001, to approve the annexation.
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL
ITEM NUMBER: 27 A-C
DATE: November 6, 2001
STAFF: Troy W. Jones
SUBJECT:
Items Relating to the Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area Second Annexation and Zoning.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and the Planning and Zoning Board recommend adoption of the Resolution and Ordinances
on First Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A. Resolution 2001-147 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the
Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area Second Annexation.
B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 181, 2001, Annexing Property Known as the
Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area Second Annexation to The City of Fort Collins.
C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 182, 2001, Amending the Zoning Map of the
City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the
Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area Second Annexation.
BACKGROUND:
This is a request for a 100% voluntary annexation. The site is approximately 24.74 acres of
publicly owned property located south of Trilby Road, east of Timberline Road, north of
Carpenter Road, and west of I-25. The recommended zoning is Public Open Lands (POL).
The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area (UGA). 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 annex
property within the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation according to Colorado
Revised Statutes (CRS).
Contiguity
This property is eligible for annexation according to CRS, requiring 1/6 contiguity to the existing
city limits. The Fossil Creek Wetlands Annexation and Zoning complies with this standard since
the property has 823 feet of its total boundary of approximately 4099 feet contiguous to the
existing City limits. This meets the minimum 683 feet required to achieve 1/6 contiguity. This
contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Greenstone Annexation (January 1993).
