the proposed annexation process for this property by establishing the date, time,
and place when a public hearing will be held regarding the readings of the
Ordinances annexing and zoning the area. Public hearing and first reading of the

on October 17, 2006.

placed in the C - Commercial Zoning District.

to existing City limits. This property is an enclave (completely surrounded by the City of
Fort Collins since 2001) and gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits from
common boundaries with the Arbor South First Annexation (June, 2001) to the north and
west, the Fairway Estates Business Annexation (January, 1981) to the east, and the
McClanahan First Annexation (April, 1989) to the south.
Although the proposed enclave annexation is an involuntary action, the property owner has
been contacted and has not expressed an objection to the annexation.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: C in City of Fort Collins; undeveloped property
E: C in City of Fort Collins; existing commercial uses
S: C in City of Fort Collins; existing commercial uses, undeveloped property
W: C in City of Fort Collins; proposed Mason Street Corridor Multi -Modal Transit
Station, undeveloped property
Analysis:
The recommended zoning for this annexation is the C - Commercial Zoning District. 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, suggests that a Commercial Corridor District designation is
appropriate in this location.
Staff is recommending that this property be excluded from the Residential Neighborhood
Sign District, which was established for the purpose of regulating signs for non-residential
uses in certain geographical areas of the City which may be particularly affected by such
signs because of their predominantly residential use and character. A map amendment
would be necessary to exclude this property from the Residential Neighborhood Sign
District on the map.
Findings:
1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between
Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Intergovernmental
Agreements.
2. The area meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for an
involuntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins.
3. On September 5, 2006, the City Council considered a resolution determining that

Although the proposed enclave annexation is an involuntary action, the property owner has
been contacted and has not expressed an objection to the annexation.
Background:
This in an involuntary annexation, initiated by the City of Fort Collins. The area to be
annexed is the entirety of an enclave that has been surrounded by the City of Fort
Collins for more than three years; therefore, no annexation petition is required for
this annexation.
In accordance with CRS 31-12-106 Annexation of Enclaves, Partially Surrounded Land,
and Municipally Owned Land, when any unincorporated area is entirely contained
within the boundaries of a municipality, the governing body may by ordinance
annex such territory to the municipality without complying with:
• CRS 31-12-104 Eligibility for Annexation; or
• CRS 31-12-105 Limitations; or
• CRS 31-12-108 Setting Hearing Date; or
• CRS 31-12-109 Hearing,
if said area has been so surrounded for a period of not less than three years;
except that notice of the proposed annexation ordinance shall be given by publication
as provided by Section 31-12-108; however, for notices of annexation petitions and
resolutions initiating annexation proceedings, no public hearing on the proposed
annexation ordinance shall be required, and the first publication of notice shall be at
least thirty days prior to the adoption of the ordinance.
The property is located within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area (GMA). According
to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained
in the Intergovernmental Agreements, the Citywill agree to consider annexation of property
in the GMA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State Law. Pursuant
to the Intergovernmental Agreements the following sections are relevant to the Arbor South
Second Annexation and Zoning:
Section 8 - Annexations
Section 8.A. It is the City's intent to annex properties within the GMA as
expeditiously as possible.
Section 8.D. The City agrees to pursue involuntary annexation of any parcel that
becomes eligible for involuntary annexation.
This property complies with State regulations by meeting the requirement for 1/6 contiguity
