PETITION FOR ANNEXATION
THE UNDERSIGNED (hereinafter referred to as the "Petitioners") hereby petition the Council of the City
of Fort Collins, Colorado for the annexation of an area, to be referred to as the Coyote Ridge Third Annexation
to the City of Fort Collins. Said area, consisting of approximately one hundred sixty-one (161) acres, is more
particularly described on Attachment "A", attached hereto.
The Petitioners allege:
That it is desirable and necessary that such area be annexed to the City of Fort Collins.
2. That the requirements of Sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105, C.R.S., exist or have been met.
3. That not less than one -sixth of the perimeter of the area proposed to be annexed is contiguous
with the boundaries of the City of Fort Collins.
4. That a community of interest exists between the area proposed to be annexed and the City of Fort
Collins.
5. That the area to be annexed is urban or will be urbanized in the near future.
6. That the area proposed to be annexed is integrated with or capable of being integrated with the
City of Fort Collins.
7. That the Petitioners herein comprise more than fifty percent (50%) of the landowners in the area
and own more than fifty percent (50%) of the area to be annexed, excluding public streets, alleys
and lands owned by the City of Fort Collins.
8. That the City of Fort Collins shall not be required to assume any obligation respecting the
construction of water mains, sewer lines, gas mains, electric service lines, streets or any other
services or utilities in connection with the property proposed to be annexed except as may be
provided by the ordinance of the City of Fort Collins.
Further, as an express condition of annexation, Petitioners consent to the inclusion into the Municipal
Subdistrict, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (the "Subdistrict") pursuant to §37-45-136(3.6)
C.R.S., Petitioners acknowledge that, upon inclusion into the Subdistrict, Petitioners' property will be subject to
the same mill levies and special assessments as are levied or will be levied on other similarly situated property
in the Subdistrict at the time of inclusion of Petitioners' lands. Petitioners agree to waive any right to an election
which may exist pursuant to Article X, §20 of the Colorado Constitution before the Subdistrict can impose such
mill levies and special assessments as it has the authority to impose. Petitioners also agree to waive, upon
inclusion, any right which may exist to a refund pursuant to Article X, §20 of the Colorado Constitution.
WHEREFORE, said Petitioners request that the Council of the City of Fort Collins approve the
annexation of the area described on Attachment "A". Furthermore, the Petitioners request that said area be placed
in the POL - Public Open Lands Zone District pursuant to the Land Use Code of the City of Fort Collins.

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 1st and 2"d Annexations and the Coyote Ridge 1st, 2nd 3'd 4tn 5th, and 6tn
Annexations will create an enclave approximately 1,781 acres in size. The majority of the
enclave, approximately 1,621acres, 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

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

Coyote Ridge P Annexation & Zoning, #43-98B
April 5, 2001 P & Z Meeting
Page 2
The property is located in the FA-1 Farming Zone District in Larimer County. It is not
anticipated that any urban level services will need to be extended to the area being
annexed other than Police Services to South Taft Hill Road. Because the City of Fort
Collins already manages the Coyote Ridge Natural Area, law enforcement services are
currently being provided by the Natural Areas and Trails Rangers of the Fort Collins
Natural Resources Department. Once the property annexes, the Natural Areas and Trails
Rangers will continue to provide law enforcement services for the area being annexed.
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 Third Annexation and Zoning complies with this
standard since the property has 2,686.34 feet of its total boundary of approximately
10,589.24 feet contiguous to City limits. This meets the minimum 1,764.87 feet required to
achieve 1/6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the
Coyote Ridge 2"d 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 annexation includes all adjacent portions of the South Taft Hill
Road right-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
