with the existing uses and surrounding zoning.

GROWTH AREA.

COMMENTS:
1. 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 surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: T; vacant
E: LMN; vacant
S: RL; vacant
W: RL; single family residential
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
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. This annexation will bring that gap,
approximately 17 feet by 1,250 feet into the City limits.
This area became eligible for involuntary annexation into the City on September 2,
1989. 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.
