Background: The Fort Collins Business Center 2nd Annexation is approximately .5 acre in size, located on the south side of East Vine Drive, north of East Lincoln Avenue and east of Tenth Street. 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 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 Due to surveying errors relating to the length of the north line of Section 7, a gap existed between the east line of the Northeast Consolidated Annexation and the west line of the Fort Collins Business Center Annexation.

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.
