Principle NOL-1.1 Natural Areas System. The City will establish a system of publicly -owned natural areas to protect the integrity of wildlife habitat and conservation sites, protect corridors between natural areas, preserve outstanding examples of Fort Collins' diverge natural heritage, and provide a broad range of opportunities for educational, interpretive, and recreational programs to meet community needs. Principle NOL=1.4 Public Programs. The City will seek to develop effective partnerships between the City, other governmental organizations, and the private sector for the protection and preservation of natural areas. It will also seek the cooperation and assistance of citizens, businesses, community groups, conservation organizations, and governmental agencies in the development and implementation of programs to protect and preserve local natural areas. Principle GM-2 The City will consider the annexation of new territory into the City limits when the annexation of such property conforms to the vision, goals, and policies of City Plan. Principle GM-2.1 Annexation Policies. The City Council will weigh the following factors when considering the annexation of new land into the incorporated limits: Statutory requirements. The property must meet all statutory requirements for annexation according to the laws of the State of Colorado. Property to be annexed located within the Community Growth Management Area. The property must be currently located within the Community Growth Management Area boundary, or the boundary must be amended by actions of the City (and County, if necessary) before the City approves the proposed annexation.

This road follows the western edge of the upper bench, crosses Boxelder Creek and meets Prospect approximately halfway between the frontage road and Summit Yew Drive. Use of the southern portion of this road- way should be discouraged as it creates somewhat ofa, barrier between the development on the upper bench and the open space associated with the river. This portion of the road may be more appropriately designed as a fire lane or service drive. The northern loop of the secondary roadway provides necessary access to the Environmental Education Development site that has been identified as a possible location for a horticulture center, as well as the Visitor Center/ELC Headquarters. The sizes of the roadways have not been determined. 17 Conceptual LandUse Plan interior location on the site. The upper bench of the existing Resource Recovery Farm affords appealing views to the river, foothills and mountains, making this location particularly attrac- tive for offices. This area should also serve as a model ofhow to sensitively develop an office and light industrial complex. Site Service/Maintenance One area has been designated for developing maintenance facilities for the district This "site service/maintenance" area may include community composting and recycling bins, mainte- nance equipment, offices and other service functions. The architectural character of any structures and screen fencing should be compatible with nearby structures. The area should have the same sensitive high quality design as the other devel- oped areas. Historic Sites Three historic sites have been identified on the Conceptual Land Use Plan: the 1870 Rigden Farmstead, the Sherwood Stage Stop site and the Strauss Cabin. Interpretive signage and benches should be provided at all ofthese locations. Private Lands Low -Density Neighborhood This area is planned to be a low -density residential neighbor- hood. Connections to the open space area and the multi- purpose trail should be provided. Open space should be inte- grated into the development with fingers ofnanualized landscap- ing, so that the edge of the development is softened. Circulation Two levels of roadway are shown on the Conceptual Land Use Plan. The primary road system begins at the frontage road intersection on Prospect Road, veers southeast to the eastern edge of the property and loops around to itself on the southern end of the Research and Development/ Office land use area. 16 Poudre River Environmental Learning District Development should also maintain views and wildlife habitat areas. Only those organizations that can demonstrate compat- ibility with the vision for the Poudre River Environmental Learn- ing District should be allowed to develop within the area De- sign guidelines for architecture, landscaping and signage should be developed to ensure harmony throughout the district devel- oped areas, including the Environmental Education, Regional Commercial, Research and Development/Office areas, Site ServicaWaintenance and Historic Sites. Environmental Education Development The areas designated "Environmental Education Development" are lands that are anticipated to be developed by a public, quasi -public or non-profit organization for the purposes of education and/or research. They may be modified landscapes, such as a horticultural center or xeriscape demonstration garden, or more highly developed, like a science museum, geological rock park, aquarium or IMAX theater. It is anticipated that these uses may require a large number of parking spaces. They should be developed sensitively in the manner suggested above. Regional Commercial The Regional Commercial area includes uses such as service stations, retail shops, hotels and highway conveniences, and is intended to serve travelers along I-25 as well as people who live in the region. Warehousing is not allowed. The area between the frontage road and the I-25 interchange is easily accessible by vehicles and should serve as an example of how to sensitively develop commercial property with respect to the issues de- scribed above. Only those businesses that demonstrate compat- ibility with the vision for the district should be allowed to de- velop within the Regional Commercial area Research and DevelopmendOfce The Research and Development/Office area includes uses such as professional offices, high technology companies and clean industry. These uses will not generate as much traffic as the Regional Commercial area and are more appropriate for a more is Conceptual Land Use Plan south of the U.P. tracks. Open Space lands are primarily in the 100-year floodplain or along drainages with the exception of the lower bench ofthe Resource Recovery Farm. This lower bench was not considered to be desirable for development because of its value as:a buffer to the ELC, potential gravel resources and wildlife habitat source. Gravel extraction may still occur on other Open Space lands as needed and where appro- priate given the sensitivity of the natural resources. Night lighting is not permitted within Open Space areas. Park or Landscape Buffer The areas designated "Park or Landscape Buffer" are open lands that may have landscaping that is not native in order to accommodate higher use levels, or to provide noise and visual screening of the interstate highway. The Archery Range cur- rently exists as a public park and no changes are anticipated to this property. The Strauss Cabin is envisioned to be primarily a naturally landscaped site, however, it may contain some irrigated turf areas for field sports (unlighted and minimally programmed), picnic structures, historic interpretation and paved trails. Land- scaped buffers and entry features are envisioned at the Prospect entrance and along I-25. This landscaping should complement the site landscaping of the developments within the District and should present a low water -use approach Night lighting should be limited to parking areas, main walkways and selected use areas, and should be designed to minimize glare and fight spill- age. Developed Lands These lands are designated primarily along 1-25 and Prospect Road and may be developed by public or private organizations. In all cases the most current technology for developing a prop- erty in a sustainable manner should be employed. Local con- struction materials should be used. Accommodations for transit systems should be incorporated into the layout. Bicycles and pedestrians should take priority over vehicles. Storm water drainage should not be piped unless absolutely necessary. Pavements should be permeable if feasible. Solar energy should be utilized. Irrigated landscapes should be kept to a minimum. 14 Poudre River Environmental Learning District Open Lands A majority ofthe district is designated as open lands, including the outdoor education core, open space and park or landscape buffers. These green areas are differentiated based on their intensity ofdevelopment, public use, trails and management Outdoor Education Core The areas designated as "Outdoor Education Core" are the heart ofthe outdoor environmental education experience and should be designed and developed to accommodate large groups and provide on -site interpretive materials. The Outdoor Education Core provides the link between the proposed ELC headquarters/visitor Center on Prospect Road with the educa- tional trail and facilities on the other side of the river at the existing main entrance. In the center of the core an interpretive amphitheater is proposed. Of all the open lands in the district, the Outdoor Education Core is the most developed, and is anticipated to have the highest level of public use. The extension of the City's multi- purpose trail along Prospect Road can be accommodated along the northern edge of the Outdoor Education Core. Lighting of selected destinations may be appropriate within the Outdoor Education Core, however, the fixtures should be designed to minimize glare and light spillage beyond the area intended to be lighted. Open Space The areas designated "Open Space" are lands that are to remain in aprimarily natural condition or in agricultural use. Priorityin these areas is placed on conserving and studying the natural resources and performing research over providing access to the public. Therefore, trails should be carefully sited along the river and only foot traffic (no bicycles) should be permitted in the areas immediately adjacent to the river. The construction of a rail fence and an entrance stile may be necessary to ensure that bicycles do not enter this area. The City multi -purpose trail is shown passing through less sensitiVe open space areas along Boxeider Creek and near the southern edge of the open space 13 Conceptual Based on workshops with the City of Fort Collins, CSU and Land Use plan other individuals who are interested in specific educational facilities within the district, EDAW, Inc. developed a Conceptual Land Use Plan for the district The plan at the end of this document illustrates the land use concept and the land use categories are defined below. Each is intended to define the focus of the area, including the types offacilities, targeted users and management/maintenance goals. The amount of area dedicated to each use is shown on the table below. Land UseAereage Table 'Total acreage does not include the Archery Range, Boxelder sanitation District Arapahoe Bend or areas west of County Road 9. 12 Poudre River Environmental Learning District intended to provide locations for a variety of workplaces, including light industrial uses, research and development activi- ties, offices and institutions, as well as supportive secondary uses such as hotels, restaurants, convenience shopping, child care and housing. The Public Open Lands District is for large publicly owned parks and open lands which have a community - wide emphasis. The Land Use Code also shows land along Prospect Road zoned as Transition District where the only permitted uses are those existing at the date of the plan adop- tion Most of the Poudre River Environmental Learning District that is within city limits is zoned as River Conservation District, where the City requires preservation of identified natural areas and a 300 foot setback for development adjacent to the river. In this zone buildings can be a maximum of two stories and a 50 foot landscape setback from streets is required. Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA), Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), (1996) The Site Inventory map shows the area in the 100-year flood - plain according to recent FEMA maps (March 1996). All development in the floodplain must occur on pads that elevate the development 18" above the flood elevation, and no develop- ment (fill within the floodplain) is allowed that would cause more than a 6" rise in the flood elevation by constricting the floodplain. Fort Collins Parks and Recreation Policy Plan (1997) The Fort Collins Parks and Recreation Policy Plan was recently adopted by City Council. Final versions have not yet been printed. This document indicates that an open space corridor along the Poudre River is desirable and that the multi -purpose paved trail should continue from the ELC to the south, generally along the Poudre River corridor. Additional provisions for natural surface trails parallel to the paved trail should be consid- ered to provide alternative recreational experiences for commu- nity residents as well as lessening conflicts that are currently occurring on the trail system between walkers, in -line skaters and bicyclists. The Strauss Cabin Park Preserve, discussed earlier in this document, is also described in more detail in the plan Conceptual LandUscPlan surrounding I-25 is anticipated to experience major increases in traffic volumes as well as additional development in the next 10 to 20 years. The streetscape plan looks at the Prospect corri- dor in sections. The "Interchange Style" applies to the area from 1-25 to Boxelder Creek This style reinforces the quad- rants as a single large space with street trees lining the frontage roads that form the perimeter. Landscaping at the interchange itself should be progressively shorter near the top of the ramps to allow for views and to respect the open character of the surrounding landscape. _ The "Prospect Gateway Style" applies to the area between Boxelder Creek and Summit Yew Drive. Landscaping themes for the roadway here are based on hedgerows/windbreaks and tree groves that are characteristic of historic farmsteads in this region. Where possible along Prospect Road double rows of trees symbolic of windbreaks, fence rows and other lines in the rural landscape should be planted parallel to the roadway. Breaks should be provided for views and to provide variety. Groves of trees should also be planted near structures and site features, with the remaining landscape being relatively open. The "Natural Shrubscape Style" applies to the area between Summit View Drive and the Poudre River, which is basically river bottom. The Prospect Road Streetscape Program indi- cates that this area should be landscaped in a natural fashion if developed, with native riparian and drought -tolerant shrubs as dominant species. Fort Collins CTTY PLAN (1997) This planning effort for the Poudre River Environmental Learning District was reviewed with City staff and the CITY PLAN is consistent with the land use plan that has been proposed here. The Land Use Code element, adopted March 28,1997, indi- c;Ltes that within the district land along Interstate 25 is zoned as Commercial, Employment, and Public Open Lands Districts. The Commercial District is intended to be a setting for commu- nity and regional retail uses, offices and personal and business services. It should emphasize safe and convenient mobility for pedestrians as well as automobiles. The Employment District is 10 Poudre River Environmental Learning District Existing Policy The following plans and policies have been considered in the Direction preparation ofthe Conceptual Land Use Plan: • Natural Areas Policy Plan (1992) • Prospect Road Streetscape Plan —An element of the Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan (1993) . • Fort Collins CrMLAN (1997) • Flood Insurance Rate Maps, prepared by the Federal EmergencyManagementAgency (City ofFort Collins StonnwaterUtility) • City ofFort Collins parks and Recreation Policy Plan (1997) The City ofFort Collins Long Range Planning Office staff have indicated that the above documents are the only plans and Policies that are relevant in the study area. Other planning efforts (i.e., stormwater improvements for the Poudre River Drainageway) are still in progress. This conceptual land use plan precedes those efforts. Natural Areas Policy Plan (1992) The Natural Areas policy Plan was developed to inventory significant natural areas in the Urban Growth Area and recom- mend alternative strategies and actions to conserve and enhance these areas. This plan recognizes the value of the great blue heron rookery south of the ELC and states, "Protection of this site is imperative because herons do not readily use a new nest site once the nest trees are destroyed."p.4-20. The planalso recommends enhancements to gravel ponds, control of exotic species, enhancements to riparian area and an interpretive themes of man's use of water, changes in natural habitats or successional patterns after mining. The plan also contains goals, objectives and policies regarding such things as management, recreation and public information. Prospect Road Streetscape Program (1993) The Prospect Road Streetscape Program is a management plan aimed at upgrading the visual quality ofthis major entryway into the City. The Prospect Corridor and the interchange area 9 Conceptual LandUse Pfau the river has a 10-foot drop from the bench adjacent to I-25 to the floodplain and lower terraces along the river. Boxelder Creek flows from Prospect Road, near the frontage road, to the south just below the western edge of this upper bench Except for the river walls and their associated steep slopes, the majority of the district is characterized by virtu- ally flat ground that is typical of river bottoms. The Poudre River, Boxelder Creek and their associated riparian habitats, gravel ponds and wetlands, as well as spectacular mountain views give the district high natural resource and scenic values. Some small relics of native prairie can also be found. The City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Policy Plan (1992) indicates Aquatic, Marsh and Wet Meadow, Riparian Forest, Grassland and Urban Plains Forest habitat types in the area. These are shown on the Site Inventory map and are explained in more detail in the City's Natural Areas Policy Plan. Historically the area was a plains grassland with riparian habitats limited to the wettest areas near the river channel or in old oxbows. Agriculture and gravel extraction has changed the area substantially, and in some respects has provided additional habitat for aquatic and riparian species, and recreational oppor- tunities through the creation of ponds and additional wetlands. Only a very small portion of the plains grasslands exists; it is located at the southern tip of the Resource Recovery Farm. Cottonwoods and willows are the predominant trees along the river and ponds. Some introduced species also appear due to urban influences and proximity to developments. The river corridor and diverse natural vegetation provides rich wildlife nesting and feeding areas. Many mammals take advan- tage of the habitat along the river and relative protection from the negative impacts associated with more intense public use. These species include deer, beaver, muskrats and raccoons. Many bird species, such as bald eagles, great blue herons and greathorned owls can also be spotted in the area. Just south of the existing Environmental Learning Center is a Heron Rookery. Furthermore, many fish and reptiles reside in the river, numerous ponds and wetlands. 9 Poudre River Environmental Learning District Union Pacific Railroad The UP Railroad owns and operates a rail line that traverses the southern one-half of the district from northwest to southeast. This line is used for transporting freight and is used twice a day at most The line presents a major circulation and visual barrier between the river and properties to the south Its presence combined with the lack of trails and facilities contribute signifi- cantly to the low level of public use on the south side of the river between County Road 9 and Interstate 25. Western Mobile has constructed a conveyor system over the track in the vicinity of the historic Sherwood Overland Trail Stage Stop site to trans- port mined materials to their south site, nearer their headquarters and crushing operations. Adjacent Land Uses Little of the land surrounding the district has been developed. The majority is still used for agricultural purposes or has been preserved as Natural Areas by the City of Fort Collins. The CityNatural Areas that are adjacent to the district include: Prospect Ponds (25 acres), W.RE.N. Pit (48 acres), Arapahoe Bend (278 acres), and Riverbend Ponds (219 acres). The Archery Range, which is within the district, is also classified as a. Natural Area and was mentioned earlier. Areas that have been developed adjacent to the Poudre River Environmental Learning District include the City of Fort Collins Wastewater Treatment Facility to the west and low -density residential properties along Summit Yew Drive to the north Future commercial develop- ment, including retail businesses and hotels, is planned near the Prospect Road/1-25 interchange. Natural Features Most of the district is located within the Poudre River valley (approximate elevation 4,900 feet at this site), defined by the river walls (steeper slopes) on either side. The eastern wall of the river has a 10-foot drop from the bench adjacent to I-25 to the floodplain and lower terraces along the river. Boxelder Creek flows from Prospect Road, near the frontage road, to the south just below the western edge of this upper bench. Except Land Use Ptan Larimer County owns and operates the facility and has devel- oped an access road, gravel parking lot, natural surface trails and interpretive signage. This site and adjacent land to the west have been identified in the City ofFort Collins Parks and Recre- ation Policy Plan as a park Preserve, that may include additional educational exhibits, picnic facilities, restrooms and limited improved turf areas for use by the community. Larimer County and the City have discussed the possibility of transferring re- sponsibility of this site to the City. Boxelder Sanitation District Water Treatment Facility Boxelder Sanitation District has a water treatment facility lo- cated south of the Resource Recovery Farm on the north side of the rivet As mentioned earlier, access to this site is through the City's land and must be maintained as an access easement. The site is approximately 27 acres and is fairly well screened from view by vegetation. Private Properties A significant portion of the land along Prospect Road and virtually the entire southern half of the district is owned privately. The majority of this land has or will be mined for gravel. Recla- mation of the lands nearest Prospect Road and the lands south of the Poudre near the archery range is planned to occur in the next several years. Mining in other areas may continue for as long as fifteen more years. An historic site, the Sherwood Stage Stop site, is located near the ELC on private property that is planned for gravel extraction. This stage stop was along the Overland Trail, which ran parallel to both sides of the river in many locations. A Great Blue Heron rookery is also located immediately south of the ELC in an area that has been targeted for gravel extraction. The city and CSU are working with the landowner to determine if these important resources can be preserved. Low density residential development is envisioned south of the existing Western Mobile Headquarters. Along Prospect Road there are several residences and a landscape construction and maintenance company that must be considered. 6 Poudre River Environmental Learning District extend the trail to Greeley as part of the larger regional trail system. Clearly the location of the trail beyond the ELC will be an important factor to consider in this land use plan. A natural surface trail begins from the northern edge of the ELC parking lot as well, crossing a footbridge to a looped trail system through the ELC. A major ditch, which diverts water from the Poudre River to Fossil Creek Reservoir forms the western edge of the primary ELC campus. The diversion structure itself is located on the ELC property. A secondary informal access is located off Prospect Road, near a recently constructed fishing pier. CSU also owns a five -acre parcel further east on Prospect Road that will be developed as a joint Visitor Center and Environmental Learning Center Head- quarters. Partners in this effort include the Colorado State Parks and the City of Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau. This location has been envisioned as a new entrance to the ELC, however CSU does not own the land between the 5 acre parcel and the existing ELC lands. The majority of the ELC property is separated from the city property by a privately -owned, gravel access road that runs from Prospect Road, across the Poudre River to gravel mining activities south of the site. A small portion of the ELC site is also located on the eastern side of this road. Currently, the road is used only for ELC maintenance. Archery Range The City of Fort Collins owns and operates an approximately SO -acre site south of the Resource Recovery Farm as an ar- chery range. The site is primarily in a naturalized condition with improvements limited to restrooms, parking lot and archery targets. The site is depressed in elevation from I-25 and is not readily visible. Strauss Cabin The Strauss Cabin is a 2-acre historic site located at the south- easter edge of the district at the end of Horsetooth Road. 5 useplan CSUEnvironmental Learning Center The Colorado State Board ofAgriculture land in the northwest- ern portion of the district currently serves as the CSU Environ- mental Learning Center, an outdoor laboratory for research and education on natural and cultural systems. The majority of this property is in the floodplain and contains wonderful examples of native riparian habitats. Some of this property was previously mined and is now being restored to a native condition. CSU has owned the ELC property for more than 35 years. Until the past 6 or 7 years it has been operated as a nature preserve. In recentyears visitation, programming and facility development has increased significantly. For example, in 1992 there were approximately 20,000 visitors to the ELC. In 1995 there were 81,000 visitors. The mission of the ELC is "to advance environmental stewardship among students and the community through opportunities for experiential learning, self study and educational programs." programs at the ELC not only include environmental education but service learning pro- gramsaswell. Recent participants include Americorp, ayouth service group and CSU students. The ELC serves an important role in the community, providing education and passive recre- ation to a wide constituency. The main access to the facility is currently located at the inter- section of Drake Road and County Road 9, via a private gravel road. At the headquarters, CSU has developed a small office/ visitor center building, information kiosk, picnic shelter, restrooms, 25-car parking lot, and raptor cage that houses several injured golden and bald eagles, owls and hawks. A caretaker residence is also located here. South of the ELC headquarters and caretaker's residence is the historic 1870 Rigden Farmstead. Many structures are still standing. The City's multi -purpose trail system ends at the ELC parking lot Currently the trail goes from the ELC to Taft Hill Road on the western side of the City, approximately 7 miles away. The City plans to extend the trail to the Strauss Cabin and ultimately further south to Harmony Road, however the exact location of the trail has not been determined. Long range plans are to Poudre River Environmental Learning District Resource Recovery Farm and provides access to an area that is currently being mined for gravel. Another bridge crosses Boxelder Creek, providing access to the lower, western -most fields on the Resource Recovery Farm site. The Resource Recovery Farm is irrigated through a network of ditches that transport untreated water. A major ditch, the San Dike Irrigation Ditch, flows southwest from I-25 to the southern edge of the site, whereupon it crosses I-25 again to deliver irrigation water to other users downstream. This ditch may be somewhat of a development constraint, depend- ing upon the parcelization of the property, however it offers the potential for continued use of raw water for irrigation, a practice that should be incorporated in the Poudre River Environmental Learning District Platte River Power Author- ity has a 100-foot easement for high voltage transmission lines that run east to west across the entire district No structures or tall tress may be placed under these lines. The upper bench along Interstate 25 is highly visible to travelers, making the real estate commercially valuable. Thus, the north- east comer of the plan area, by Prospect Road and I-25, is prime commercial property because it is accessible and visible. The visual quality of this area is also critical to the overall image of the Poudre River Environmental Learning District and the City - of Fort Collins, and should be carefully designed to express the values of the City and the District. The lower bench area is a moderately visible zone with less access, but much of the land is not in the floodplain and could potentially be developed. According to City personnel, the Resource Recovery Farm property will be available for development within four or five years (approximately the year 2001). However, part of the land along the Frontage Road might be available for development sooner. The City's goal is to recoup their costs for the property through leasing or selling a portion of the site for development, allowing the remainder to stay in open space or to be developed for other public uses. 3 Conceptual Land Use Plan planning consultants and other community organizations during 1996 and 1997. The planning team determined that the location of the plan area and its natural qualities present an outstanding opportunity for residents of Fort Collins to make a statement about their values for nature and the quality of development desired in and around their city. It could become the "Environ- mental Entry" to the City, demonstrating how development can occur in an environmentally friendly manner. It also sets the stage for a partnership of environmental education organizations, such as the CSU Environmental Learning Center, a horticultural center and a science discovery center. Existing Two maps, Site Inventory and Site Analysis, have been pre - Conditions pared to illustrate major site features and characteristics that influenced the development of the land use plan These are located at the end ofthe text portion of this document Existing Land Use Within The District Of the approximately 1,200 acres in the district, 560 acres are in public ownership. Fort Collins owns approximately 360 acres on the northeastern portion of the site, and CSU owns approximately 200 acres on the northwestern portion of the site. Almost 700 acres of the planning area is in private ownership, a majority of which has been, is currently, or is planned to be mined for gravel. Resource Recovery Farm The City of Fort Collins Water Utilities Department is currently using their property as an experimental agricultural site for applying waste water sludge. The Resource Recovery Farm, as it is called, has several structures on site, including a large three - sided composting facility, a caretaker residence, offices and garages and several outbuildings. Access is from Prospect Road via a two lane paved or gravel road that circles the upper, eastem-most portion of the site. These roads continue south and west, providing the only access to the Boxelder Sanitation District water treatment facility and the City Archery Range. A bridge crosses the Poudre River at the southern edge of the Poudre River Environmental Learning District Introduction The Poudre River Environmental Learning District is located in Fort Collins, Colorado, a city of approximately 100,000 people and the home of Colorado State University (CSU). More than 1,200 acres of natural and reclaimed land and wildlife habitat serve as the backdrop for a unique blending of resource values and facilities that emphasize science and the environment to provide a recreational, hands-on, interactive student and family learning experience. The possibilities sparkthe imagination. with a visitor center, CSUEnvironmental Learning Center, commu- nity horticulture center, science museum and much more. Ad- joui ing land parcels target businesses with interests and products that complement the goals of the leaming district The 1,200 acre district spans both sides of the Cache La Poudre River (Poudre River) which is arguably one of the most significant natural landscapes in the region. The planning area includes property owned by CSU, the City of Fort Collins and Private individuals, and is immediately adjacent to interstate 25. The map entitled Jurisdictional Boundaries shows the extent of the planning area and land ownership. Because of its high visibility to local, state and interstate travelers, the appearance of development that occurs in the district and the preservation of views to the Poudre River will be critical to the image and visual quality of the community. Specifically, the district is defined as the area west ofI-25, south of Prospect Road, east of County Road 9 and north of Horsetooth Road. It encompasses approximately 1 'r4 mile of the Poudre River, and includes portions of Boxelder Creek, numerous ponds, natural and constructed wetlands and relics of natural prairie, as well as irrigated agricultural lands and a few private residences. Although portions of the district have not been annexed into the City of Fort Collins, the entire district is within the City ofFort Collins Urban Growth Area This means that Larimer County will refer all development proposals to the City for comments and developments must adhere to city design standards. This land use plan for the Poudre River Environmental Learning District resulted from a collaboration between Colorado State University, the City ofFort Collins Water Utilities Department, 1 Poudre River Environmental Learning District Table of Contents Section Page Introduction............................................................................. 1 ExistingConditions.................................................................. 2 ExistingPolicyDirection.......................................................... 9 Conceptual Land Use Plan .:................................................... 12 List of Tables Land Use Acreage Table ........................................................ 12 List of Maps SiteInventory ......................................................................... 18 Site An * is .........................................
