Collins, County of Larimer, State of Colorado, described as follows: COMMENCING at the Southwest Corner of said Section 25, from which the S 1/4 Corner of said Section 25 bears S89°51'02"E, 2665.22 feet, thence S89'51'02"E, 1881.35 feet along the South Line of the SW 1/4 of said Section 25 to the Southeasterly Corner of STRACHAN SUBDIVISION, THIRD FILING, a subdivision located in the SWI/4 of said Section 25, in the City of Ft.

Horsetooth Road and the TRUE POINT OF BEGINNING; March _ , _ _ DATE: ITEM NUMBER: B. The subject property for the Bella Vista Rezoning is designated on City Structure Plan as "Medium Density Mixed -Use Residential". The request to rezone the property to MMN, therefore, complies with the City Structure Plan. C. The request to rezone satisfies the applicable review criteria of the Section 2.9.4 (H) of the Land Use Code. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Board voted 7-0 to approve this application at its regular monthly meeting on February 21, 2002. DATE: ITEM NUMBER: S: MMN; undeveloped, planned mixed -use (Landings PUD, I" Filing) W: C; existing office/business uses (Stanford Plaza) The property was annexed as part of the Brune Annexation in March, 1977. It was zoned T — Transition. City Plan Rezoning In March of 1997, in order to implement City Plan and Land Use Code, the 2.959 acre property now being considered for rezoning was again shown to be in the T — Transition District. Current Request The applicant, Stanford Development, LLC, c/o Cityscape Urban Design, filed a rezoning petition with the City on November 15, 200t. The applicant is requesting a rezoning of 2.959 acres from T — Transition to MMN — Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. The T zone functions as a "holding" zone where no uses are permitted on properties in the T District except uses that existed on the date the property was placed in this district. The property is currently vacant. The requested zoning for this property is the MMN - Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. There are numerous uses permitted in this District, subject to either administrative review or review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The City's adopted Structure Plan, a part of the Comprehensive Plan, presently suggests that Medium Density Mixed -Use Residential is appropriate in this location. In evaluating the rezoning request, staff is guided by Article 2, Sections 2.9.4(H)(2) and (3). The request to rezone the 2.959 acre parcel is considered a quasi-judicial action since the parcel is less than 640 acres. The requested rezoning and amendment to the Zoning Map shall be recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board or approved by City Council only if the proposed amendment is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Structure Plan The Citv Structure Plan, an element of the City's Comprehensive Plan, is a map that sets forth a basic framework, showing how Fort Collins should grow and evolve over the next 20 years. The map designates the parcel as "Medium Density Mixed -Use Residential." Therefore, the request is in compliance with the City Structure Plan. Findings In evaluating the request for the Bella Vista Rezoning, Amendment to the Zoning Map from T — Transition to MMN — Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. and Recommendation to City Council, Staff makes the following findings of fact: A. The City Plan rezoning in March of 1997 for this property to remain in the T — Transition District assumed no immediate development. Based on an intent to development the property, the request to rezone it into the MMN — Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District is necessary.
