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 annexation of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexatio ccordin state Th intent Qf the policy is that properties in the Urban Growth Area are e in ity li le and developed to an urban standard, not a rural standar Enclave areas, become eligible annex n wh they hav een completely surrounded by properties that have been within the City limits for at least three (3) years. The area to be annexed has been an enclave for at least three (3) years and therefore, is eligible for annexation.. The property became completely surrounded by the City of Fort Collins through the following annexations: N: Spring Creek Farms 4th Annexation - April 19, 1994 E: Spring Creek Farms 4th Annexation - April 19, 1994 S: Spring Creek Farms 4th Annexation - April 19, 1994 W: Spring Creek o 19Iff The property became eligible r inv on as an a ave on April 19, 1997. The site includes one residence, and an g ci igns must , nform 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 are several issues related to enclave annexation areas that warrant the City considering their annexation. • First is the desirability to consolidate the provision of public safety services. While fire service is pr . ' by u my ' oth enclave areas and within City limits, p ce se are t to the City. • The second i e o oid co n 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 not uncommon 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 requiring an action by the Board of County Commissioners. Therefore, development may take place through the issuance of building permits for permitted uses.
