No. Statement of Principles & Policies and consistency with the City Structure Plan This Statement is part of a Petition for Annexation for a piece of land known as the "Harmony Technology Center" into the City of Fort Collins. The plan that accompanies this petition shows the piece of land in its entirety, as well as adjacent landowners and the land's contiguity to the existing boundary of the City of Fort Collins. The land, which is the subject of this petition, contains 63.26 acres more or less. It is located on the south side of Harmony Road, west of the I-25 Interchange in an area designated for commercial development within the I-25 corridor as depicted on the City Structure Plan of June, 1996. The property adjacent to the subject land which is within the limits of the City of Ft. Collins is zoned Harmony Corridor (HQ. In the spirit of the Fort Collins City Plan & Principles and Policies the petitioners request that upon annexation the subject land be given the HC zoning designation. It is desirable for the City of Ft. Collins to annex this property because its inclusion within City Limits will contribute to the natural and well -ordered development of the City. The subject land is located within the existing Harmony Corridor and the petitioner's future plans call for the design and construction of a multi -use commercial, residential, and open space district. This meshes well with the City's vision for this particular "edge" of the City since its location and proposed use will provide for the economic delivery of urban level public services and facilities. The petitioner's planned future for this land is consistent with the purpose of the City Structure Plan in the following ways: • It is within the Urban Growth Boundary • Planned development is close to urban transportation systems • The City of Fort Collins is currently supplying water to the land • Sanitary Sewer service will be provided by the South Ft. Collins Sanitation District This concludes the Petitioner's Statement.

Further, the annexation is consistent with the Harmony Corridor Plan, which requires certain property to be annexed prior to development. The surrounding zoning and land uses as follows: N: Harmony Corridor District (HC) — existing research/development (Hewett -Packard) S: FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County — existing agricultural E: FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County — existing agricultural W: Harmony Corridor District (HC) — existing residential and research/development (Harmony Technology Park - Overall Development Plan: Celestica First Filing) FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County — existing residential 2. Zoning and Analysis: The property is currently zoned FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County. The requested zoning for this annexation is the Harmony Corridor District (HC) (see attached copy of Division 4.21 of the Land Use Code, Harmony Corridor District (HC)). There are numerous uses permitted in this District, subject to administrative review or review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The City's adopted Structure Plan, a part of City Plan, suggests that Harmony Corridor District (HC) zoning is appropriate for this location. Upon annexation an enclave of four lots entirely contained within the boundaries of Fort Collins will result. Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) 31-12-106 dictates the procedure required to annex unincorporated enclave areas. In addition, CRS requires an enclave to be annexed through ordinance within a period of not less than three years. 3.
