enclave, approximately 1,621 acres, will be within the UGA. A small portion of the enclave,
approximately 160 acres, is located outside the UGA. The creation of this enclave will
enable the City to have the authority to involuntarily annex this portion of urbanized county
land once the enclave has existed for at least three years. Please refer to the attached
map titled "Cathy Fromme & Coyote Ridge Annexations" for a diagram of all the
annexations together, and the affected enclave area.
6. City Council Hearings:
City Council hearings on this proposed annexation and zoning will be held on the following
dates:
Initiating Resolution March 6, 2001
First Reading April 17, 2001
Second Reading May 1, 2001

voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins.
2. 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.
3. The annexation request complies with all applicable Land Use Code criteria.
4. The requested Public Open Lands (POL) zone district is in conformance with the

April 5, 2001 P & Z Meeting

2. Colorado Revised Statutes:
This property is eligible for annexation according to CRS, requiring 1/6 contiguity to the
existing city limits. The Coyote Ridge 1 sc Annexation and Zoning complies with this
standard since the property has 620.02 feet of its total boundary of approximately 2,770.90
feet contiguous to the City limits. This meets the minimum 461.82 feet required to achieve
1/6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Cathy Fromme
1st Natural Area Annexation and the Cathy Fromme 2"d Natural Area Annexation.
3. The Intergovernmental Agreement Between Fort Collins and Larimer County:
The property is located just outside 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 (Last Amended November 2000), the City may annex property outside
the UGA, provided the property is eligible for annexation according to Colorado Revised
Statutes (CRS).
In the IGA, the city agrees to annex all rights -of -way, easements, etc. adjacent to a
voluntary annexation. The proposed annexation is entirely within the South Taft Hill Road
right-of-way, therefore does not have any adjacent rights -of -way.
4. Land Use Code Criteria for Annexations:
[Section 2.12] — The Planning and Zoning Board shall hold a hearing on the matter of
annexations and report recommendations to City Council. Such Report shall include a
recommendation on the proper zoning for the lands if the City Council annexes such lands
into the city. The requested zoning for this annexation is the Public Open Lands (POL)
zone district.
[Section 2.9.4(H)] — Any amendment to the Zoning Map involving the zoning or rezoning of
six -hundred forty (640) acres of land or less shall be recommended for approval by the
City Council only if the proposed amendment is consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan or warranted by changed conditions surrounding the subject property. 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 consistent with this Structure Plan
designation.
5. Creation of an Enclave:
This annexation is one piece of a larger series of annexations. Together, the Cathy
Fromme 1sc and 2nd Annexations and the Coyote Ridge 1st, 2nd 3rd 4cn 5cn and 6cn
Annexations will create an enclave approximately 1,781 acres in size. The majority of the
