City staff contacted Mr. Larry Johnson, Depun Assessor with the Larimer Counni Assessor's
ice, to confirm the present and potential increase in property tax. Mr. Johnson informed
• staff that the property value would not increase much, if at all, until the property is platted.
Property value is one of the factors in the calculation of property tax. as well as the current
mill levy, proposed use of the property, and whether the property is subdivided. The
property will need to be platted if a development proposal is submitted and before a building
permit can be pulled.
After the property is platted, the property tax will increase depending on the use and whether
the property is subdivide see the tached r fr m Mr.lohnson). Upon annexation,
however, the change i o i w' st i an kitt w h would result in an increase
in property values, a therefo no in ,e pop taxes will occur until such time
the mill levv increas 'or t ern s ivided.
As noted in the letter dated October 15, 1997, from the property owner's legal representatives, the
property owner has requested that the enclave annexation be continued or, if the annexation
proceeds, the property be placed in the T-Transition Zone District.
Staff does not support the property owners request for the T-Transition zone District, because the
language of the Land Use Code allows am• existing uses on the property at the time of the zoning
to remain and continue. The Land Use Code states:
"No use shall be peC,was
p ernes e t stri cept such use as existed
on the date the propa d intoone distri t [Section 4.9(B)(1)(a)1
The property owner's letter indicates that notice has been given to all owners of the illegally -stored
vehicles that they must be removed no later than December 15, 1997, (the effective date of the
annexation if it is to proceed). However, without verification that the notice has been given as well
as conditions for their removal, staff continues to recommend the MMN zoning consistent with the
Cim Structure Plan. Regardless of the zoning of the property at the time of annexation, the property
o«-ner will be allowed to continue the non-comforming agricultural use of the property, in
accordance with the standards defined in the Land Use Code because the agriculture use is not an
illeeal use in the County.
PLANNING AND ZONIN OAR ECOJAT ,
October ? 1997. the Planning onina Board voted 6-0 to recommend that the Cite Council
On O , _ _
approve the Overland Trail 3rd Annexation with the zoning recommended by staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Overland Trail 3rd Annexation with a zoning of MMN-Medium
Density Mixed -use Neighborhood Zone District, which is consistent with the adopted City Structure
Plan.
DATE: October2l, 1997 A 4 = ITEM NUMBER: 39 A-C
Staffs Recommended Zoning of MMA'
• The staff believes that the NC -Neighborhood Commercial Zone District (which is favored
by the property owner) is not appropriate for the property. The property owner voiced the
concern that commercial/retail uses are not allowable uses in the MMN Zone District, and
the NC Zone District would allow for such uses.
In response, City staff recommends that the MMN Zone District is consistent with the City
Structure Plan and the NC Zone District would required an amendment to the City Structure
Plan. NC zoning exists o e east s' of Overland Trail consistent with the City Structure
Plan designation. 1 a n e on is ermits mixed -use dwellings,
therefore allowing c mercial tail s firs el and residential units on the
second floor as well ddi n ei o od scale c mercial uses.
Time of Abatement Period
• Different abatement periods, ranging from sixty (60) days to six (6) months to one (1) year
were suggested rather than the recommended thirty (30) days. This additional time request
is to allow for adequate notification of those individuals leasing spaces in the outdoor storage
yard to find an alternative location.
Regarding the abate o ill ty s s recommendation is.for a
thirty (30) day abat ' ent peri dl from rie ec `'e f the annexation. This is the
standard length of ti a that ' nted t try Zo g Department for abatement of
illegal uses after prope 'ers tt d h a zoning 'olation. This property has been
the subject of a zoning violation citation in the County as far back as November 20. 1996.
City staff has consistently informed the property owner that the storage yard would be an
illegal use in the MMNzone district.
Possible Reimbursement for a Fort Collins -Loveland Water Tap
• There is a water tap serviced by the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District on the premises.
Staff was asked to rese wh.the po ' Ity u kFmen r the water tap.
City staff contacted Mike ullio, i ana with the Fort -Collins Loveland
Kaer District, to co e o a water to with
by the District on the
property. Mr. DiTullio in ormed sta that the tap was purchased in 1995 when the property
was bought from the Public Service Company, and the 314" tap has been activated. Mr.
DiTullio stated that if there is a change in use on the premises, the City requires the
purchase of a new tap, and the existing tap may be kept for irrigation purposes only (see
attached letter addressing this issue).
Impact of Annexation on Taxes
• The potential impact of annexation on taxes was questioned.
A memo written by Alan Krcmarik regarding the financial impact upon annexation was
attached to the letter dated September 17, 1997. Please note that while this memorandum
relates to the K-2 annexation, the information applies to all annexations.

requiring an action by the Board of County Commissioners. Therefore. development
may take place through the issuance of building permits for permitted uses.
This property is currently zoned FA-1 Farming in Larimer County. The proposed zoning for this
annexation is the MMN-Medium Density Mixed -use Neighborhood Zone District. The MMN Zone
District is intended to be a setting for concentrated housing within easy walking distance of transit
and a commercial district and also allows some limited neighborhood commercial uses. Much of
the adjacent area is zoned MMN, and the MMN Zone District designation is consistent with what
is indicated on the adopted City Structure Plan and the policies of City Plan, and is compatible with
the existing uses and surround' ning.
The existing use on the a ortion this p op VO-,
storage lot for cars. trucks,
recreational vehicles, boats, Th , . o the prope is currently vacant land that has
been used as grazing and pastor the p . as and grazi are allowable as permitted uses
in the FA-1 County zone district, however, the outdoor storage lot is an illegal use in the County
zone district.
If this area is annexed into the City, the existing outdoor storage lot use will become an illegal use
and the grazing and pasture a non -conforming use in the MMN-Medium Density Mixed -use
Neighborhood Zone District.
The Larimer County Board o m iss' el ,on J 13, 1997, to address the
storage lot zoning violation. e resu f that a Commissioners granted the
property owner time to see vol anne i o e pr erty into the City, and that the
Commissioners would not p io a 'the prope's not annexed into the City. The
minutes of the Commissioner's meeting are attached for reference.
Prior to the adoption of the Land Use Code, Mr. Miller met with City staff to discuss annexation and
was directed that the City was unable to process an annexation petition until the Land Use Code was
adopted in March, 1997. Since that time, this area has become eligible for involuntary enclave
annexation by the City.
As an illegal use, there will be (30 bat e od for property to be brought into
compliance with the City's gulatinpon e efiecti ' to f annexation. In addition, any
existing commercial signs t confo " to the City n Co e'at the conclusion of a five-year
amortization period. This crease the totanumber of off -premise signs that
currently exist in the City of Fort Collins.
Staff met with the property owner on September 11, 1997, to review the proposed annexation. At
that meeting, the property owner requested that City staff further consider an alternative to zoning
the property MMN, the length of time for the abatement period, and the existence of a water tap
serviced by the Fort Collins -Loveland Rater District, as well as provide additional information
regarding the potential financial impact of annexation. A letter was sent to the property owner
outlining City staff s position of the issues he raised at the meeting, and a copy of the letter and
attachments are included with this Agenda Item Summary. The issues are addressed below:
DATE: October 21. 1997 - 3 - ITEM NUMBER: 39 A-C
BACKGROUND:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: .
N: RL; single-family residential (Ponds at Overland Trail --First Filing)
E: NC; Gas station, mini -storage, convenience store
S: NNN; single-family residence, multi -family
W: MMN; multi -family
The Overland Trail 3rd Enclave xatio i r ate 4.63 acres, located generally
on the west side of South Ov and on o si o ect Road (extended), between
Prospect Road and Palm Co (directl outh o opin onds at Overland Trail project).
The property is located within b Growth a (UGA). According to policies
.and agreements between the rty of ort Col ms and Latimer 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 intent of the policy is that properties in the Urban Growth Area be annexed into
the City when eligible and developed to urban standards.
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 area to be annexed
has been an enclave for at le 3 d, Y
le for annexation.
The property became compl ly s ded e City llins through the following
annexations:
N: Overland Trail Annexation (1994) -August 22, 1994
E: West Prospect Second Annexation - September 16. 1965
S: Steely Annexation - October 16. 1979, and Foothills Annexation - August 8, 1970
IVi': South Foothills Annexation - March 18, 1971
The property became eligible for annexation as an enclave on August 22, 1997.
There are several issues relateo to en a anne ti are th t the City considering their
annexation.
• First is the des to t e provisiT
f public safety services. While
fire service is provided by the Poudre Fire Authority in both enclave areas and within
City limits, police services are limited to areas within the City.
• 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 Latimer County only applies to those land use decisions

DATE: December2, 1997 ` 2 ` ITEM NUMBER: 23 .4-B
On November 4, 1997, the property owner requested that the second reading of the zoning ordinance
be postponed thirty (30) days to allow additional time for the propem owner and staff to further
discuss the proposed zone district for the property. (A meeting was held between City staff, the
property owner, and the property owner's legal representative on November 6, 1997.) At this same
Council hearing, staff recommended that second reading of the annexation ordinance also be
continued as well, based upon an interpretation of the Land Use Code that states if the zoning of a
property is not determined at the time of annexation, the propem- automatically is zoned T-
Transition. Therefore, in the absence of another zoning designation the property would be zoned T-
Transition, and a rezoning of the propem- would need to occur prior to the approval of any
development proposals.
Option 1 of Ordinance No. 168, 1997, would place the entire property in the T-Transition District.
Option 2 would place the property in the MMN-Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District.
Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation
On October 2, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 6-0 to recommend that the City Council
approve the Overland Trail 3rd Annexation with the zoning recommended by staff (MMN).
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of Option 2 of the zoning ordinance on second reading. This would
place the property in the MMN Zoning District and would allow for a number of different uses that
would be compatible with existing development in the area as well as the City's Comprehensive
Plan. Any particular proposals submitted by the property owners would be subject to review as
provided in the Land Use Code. If a request for conditional approval of an Overall Development
Plan were submitted, that request would be reviewed and considered by the Planning and Zoning
Board, and staff would formulate a recommendations at that time, based upon the perceived merits
of the proposal and staffs interpretation of the applicable provisions of the Code.

The storage use would remain an illegal use under the proposed City zoning and will be subject to
an abatement period during which time the propeM, must be brought into compliance with the City's
