However, the location of the established right-of-way for the Lemay Avenue bypass was not recognized when the map was initially adopted. Recognizing that arterial streets frequently identify the boundaries of a neighborhood, the boundary of the Industrial/Low Density Mixed Use Residential districts should have followed the established right-of-way. Staff has made this interpretation and the Planning and Zoning Board agreed at its October 15,1998 meeting. However, to minimize any future interpretation issues, a Structure Plan amendment is recommended to change the designation to Low Density Mixed Use P Residential, the same as the residential neighborhood to a �. the north. � , p »., The recommended amendment is supportedby City Plan. The introduction to the Industrial District policies states: "...Industrial Districts will be located away from, or adequately buffered from, residential neighborhoods."

DATE: January 5, 1999 2 i EM NUMBER: 20 A-B BACKGROUND: The property 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 annexation of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. The property became completely surrounded by the City of Fort Collins through the following annexations: N: Northeast Conso idate exationJune 6 1974 ,N k ; �" E: Fort Collins Business Center Annexaitiori - September 2, 1986 S: East Lincoln 34 exation - December 6, 1994 W: Northeast Consolidated Annexation - June 6, 1974 Enclave areas become eligible for annexation when they have been completely surrounded by properties that have been within the city limits for at least three (3) years. The property became eligible for annexation as an enclave on December 6, 1997. There are several issues related to enclave areas that warrant the City considering their annexation: • First is the desirability�lo,consolidate theproyision-of public safety services. While fire service is provided by the Poudre Fire.Authority in`bothenclave areas and within the city limits, police services are hnuted to Areas thin the city. %. A • The second issue is the ability to avoid confusion among the property owners, surrounding property owners and the City or County entities. Again, this is related to the provision of public safety services as it is common for those individuals who are part of an enclave to not realize they are actually part of the County, not the City. • The third issue pertains to the likelihood of development occurring under County regulations rather than those of the City. The Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County only applies to those land use decisions py g p through the building sit 'Hers. Therefore, development requiring an action y ty may take lace thro g g p 4 s for permitted uses.
