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 agree to consider annexation of all properties within the unincorporated area of the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area as soon as said property becomes contiguous to the City and therefore eligible for annexation and the owner either requests voluntary annexation into the City or is required to annex such property into the City by the County. The City may annex property located within the Urban Growth Area Boundary provided that the property has 1/6th contiguity with the existing City boundary. The proposed HH-36 Annexation complies with this requirement. The property has 2,656.23 feet (34.7%) of its total boundary length of 7,666.07 feet contiguous to existing City limits. This exceeds the minimum 1,277.68 feet required to achieve 1/6th contiguity.
