1. Background:
The Lemay Avenue 3rd Annexation is approximately 1.9 acres in size, located on the
south side of East Vine Drive, north of East Lincoln Avenue and east of Lemay Avenue.
It is located within 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, the City will agree to consider for annexation property in the UGA
when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: I; single family residential
E:I; vacant
S:I; vacant
W:I; vacant
Enclave areas become eligible for annexation when they have been completely
surrounded, for at least three years, by properties that are within the City limits. The
area to be annexed has been an enclave for at least three years and is therefore,
eligible for annexation. The area became completely surrounded through the following
annexations:
N: Northeast Consolidated Annexation - June 6, 1974
E: Fort Collins Business Center Annexation - September 2, 1986
S: East Lincoln Third Annexation - December 6, 1994
W: Northeast Consolidated Annexation - June 6, 1974
This area became eligible for involuntary annexation into the City on December 6,
1997. The site is vacant. Any existing commercial signs must conform to the City's
Sign Code at the conclusion of a five-year amortization period. This annexation will not
increase the total number of off -premise signs that currently exist in the City of Fort
Collins.
There was a property owner meeting held on January 27, 1998, at 281 North College.
The property owner did not attend that meeting.
