(Ord. No. 90, 1998, 5/19/98)
(e) The design of the cluster development shall be appropriate
for the site, as demonstrated by meeting the following
criteria:
1. preservation of significant natural resources,
natural areas and features, native vegetation, open

other techniques.
2. provision of additional amenities such as parks,
trails, common areas or access to public
recreational areas and open space.
3. minimizing the visual intrusion by dwellings and
other structures and blocking of vistas to the foot-
hills and prominent mountain vistas by avoiding
building in the center of a meadow or open area.
4. protection of adjacent residential development
through landscaping, screening, fencing, buffering
or similar measures.
5. the layout of lots on the cluster development is
designed to conform to terrain and is located so
that grading and filling are kept to a minimum.
Natural features such as drainage swales, rock
outcroppings and slopes shall be preserved.
6. taking into account the unique micro -climate of
the foothills so that building envelopes are
selected and individual structures are built for
protection from high winds and to function with
maximum conservation of energy.
7. if farm animals are intended to be allowed within
the area, indicating those portions of the area to be
developed that will be reserved for the keeping of

(2) Site Design for Residential Cluster Development. Property in the
Foothills Residential District may be developed in clusters,
subject to approval by the Planning and Zoning Board. In a
cluster development, lot sizes may be reduced in order to cluster
the dwellings together on a portion of the property, with the
remainder of the property permanently preserved as public or
private open space. The following standards shall apply to cluster
developments in this District:
(a) Only the uses specifically permitted in subsection (B)
above shall be allowed.
(b) Minimum lot sizes may be waived by the Planning and
Zoning Board, provided that the overall density of the
cluster development is not greater than one (1) unit per
net acre, and the units are clustered together in the portion
of the property designated on the plan for residential use
at a density of three (3) to five (5) units per net acre.
(c) A cluster development shall set aside at least fifty (50)
percent of the total land area of the proposed development
as private or public open space that is permanently
preserved as open space through dedication of ownership,
if acceptable to the city, or placement of an appropriate
easement granted to the city or other nonprofit
organization acceptable to the city, with such restrictive
provisions and future interests as may be necessary to
ensure the continuation of the open space use intended.
As a condition of approval, the city may also require the
property owners to maintain the dedicated open space to
city standards through a maintenance agreement.
(d) Building envelopes shall be identified on the cluster
development, and the minimum area of lot, minimum
width of lot, minimum front yard, minimum rear yard,
minimum side yard and maximum building height shall
conform to the requirements established in the R-L
Residential Low Density District.

Wykoff - Larimer Annexation and Zoning, #57-98
January 21, 1999 P & Z Meeting

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board forward a
recommendation to the City Council to approve the Wykoff — Larimer Annexation
and Zoning # 57-98 with a zoning of RF — Residential Foothills.
Wykoff - Larimer Annexation and Zoning, #57-98
January 21, 1999 P & Z Meeting
Page 3
There are two zoning districts which could implement the Structure Plan
designations: UE — Urban Estate and RF — Residential Foothills. Staff is
recommending the RF zoning district.
The purpose of the RF zoning district is for low density residential areas located
near the foothills. In addition to the location of the property near the foothills, the
presence of Spring Creek bisecting the property and the designation of the
northern portion as Rural Open Lands and Stream Corridors lends itself to a
district that allows the clustering of residential units while maintaining an overall
low density. The minimum lot area in the RF zoning district is 100,000 square
feet (2.29 acres).
However, the Planning and Zoning Board can approve a development plan
where lot sizes are reduced in order to cluster development on a portion of the
property with the remainder permanently preserved as public or private open
space provided the overall density for the entire property is not greater than one
unit per net acre. There are specific development standards in the Land Use
Code for reviewing RF cluster plans. While the cluster plan would allow a higher
density than anticipated by the Urban Estate Structure Plan designation, the
potential for clustering development and maintaining the area north of Spring
Creek in permanent open space clearly implements the intent of the Structure
Plan.
FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS:
1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements
between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins, as contained in the
Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area.
2. The area meets all criteria included in State law to qualify for annexation
by the City of Fort Collins.
3. The requested zoning of LMN — Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood is
not consistent with the City Structure Plan.
4. The proposed zoning of RF — Residential Foothills meets the intent of and
implements the City Structure Plan.
Wykoff - Larimer Annexation and Zoning, #57-98
January 21, 1999 P & Z Meeting

COMMENTS:
1. Background
The Wykoff — Larimer Annexation and Zoning is a voluntary annexation
consisting of approximately 20 acres. The property is located north of County
Road 38 E, approximately'/ miles west of Taft Hill Road. The site is currently
zoned FA1 — Farming in Larimer County.
The annexation impact report will be forwarded to the Board of County
Commissioners on March 2, 1999.
This is a voluntary annexation, located within the Urban Growth Area (UGA) of
the City of Fort Collins. The City may annex property located within the UGA
provided that the property has 1/6`h contiguity with the existing City limits. The
Wykoff — Larimer Annexation and Zoning complies with this requirement. The
property has 728 feet of its total boundary of approximately 4,076 feet
contiguous to existing City limits. This exceeds the minimum 679 feet required to
achieve 1/6v' contiguity.
Contiguity to existing City limits is gained from the common boundary to the
north which was annexed to the City in July, 1987 as the Overland Hills
Annexation.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: POL — City owned open space
E: FA1 — Farming (County)
S: FA1 — Farming (County), Rockview PUD
W: FA1 — Farming (County)
