What if I'm a legal existing use in Larimer County but not in the City of Fort
Collins?
Legal existing uses are grandfathered-in however if the nonconforming use is
discontinued for 12 consecutive months the nonconforming use is then considered
"abandoned" and will not be able to continue.
To find more information on nonconforming uses and structures visit Division 1.5 in the
City of Fort Collins Land Use Code.
https://www.municode.com/library/co/fort collins/codes/land use
What if my property is on septic? How will being part of the City of Fort Collins
impact me?
The City of Fort Collins does not regulate or enforce regulations on septic systems.
Septic Systems are solely regulated by Larimer County Department of Health and
Environment.
For Septic Systems please contact the Larimer County Health Department by phone at
(970) 498-6700 or visit http://www.co.larimer.co.us/health/ehs/isds.asp.

Will the school boundaries change and if so who is responsible for that change?
The City of Fort Collins is not involved in determining school boundaries. This is the sole
responsibility of the Poudre School District. According to the Poudre School District's
Long Range Planning: Boundary Committee they often recommend "clean-up" of
boundaries that have little to no student impact and include modifications like adjusting
boundary lines such that they do no bisect fields or lots, adjusting boundary lines to
follow the mid -line of roads as opposed to bisecting properties, etc.
Ultimately the responsibility of changing school district lines start as a recommendation
from the Boundary Committee then is approved by the Superintendent and Colorado
Board of Education.
In the Poudre School District's 2015 Majority and Minority Reports it shows proposed
changes to the Kruse Elementary School / Werner Elementary School — Middle School
and High School Boundary that will impact 0 students.
What are some of the upsides of being annexed into the City of Fort Collins?
• Faster police response time
• Voting for a Mayor and Council Member (District 3)
• Less Expensive Electric Rates
• Urban level services
• Neighborhood Services (http://www.fcgov.com/neighborhoodservicesl)
• Rebates through energy audit programs (i.e., Solar Installation Incentives)
Though these are just a few advantages of being part of the City it is not an
exhaustive list. Please visit our website at http://Www.fc.gov.comlto find out more.
How many horses per acre are you allowed to have in the City as compared to the
County?
Municipal Code Section 4-72. - Minimum size of pasture area for horses or ponies.
Horses or ponies may be kept for the use of occupants of a lot and their guests
provided that at least one-half ('/z) acre of pasture area is available for each horse or
pony.
Horses per Acre % Acre / Horse % Acre / Horse3
3 If the number of horses on the property exceeds one horse per one-half acre, minor special review
approval is required unless the chart and formula indicate that special review approval is required.

How will the assessor determine the value of our property?
According the Assessor's office:
The County Assessor is responsible for valuing all real and personal property, including
mobile homes, residential and commercial properties and agricultural land for property
tax purposes. The Assessor determines the equitable value of property to ensure that
each taxpayer pays only his or her fair share of the taxes. Anyone who disagrees with
changes in the actual value of real property can object or file a protest with the Assessor
in May. Protests for Commercial Business Personal Property accounts should be filed
with the Assessor between June 15 and July 5.
2015/2016 Reappraisal Cycle
Colorado property tax law requires assessors to conduct countywide reappraisals every
two years in odd -numbered years, and that a specific date, June 30th of the year
preceding the reappraisal year, be used to benchmark all property values throughout
the state. The benchmark, or "level of value", for this reappraisal cycle is June 30, 2014.
For the 2015/2016 reappraisal cycle Larimer County is using 60 months of data. That
means our sales study period extends from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2014. All
sales are trended up or down to the level of value date, June 30, 2014, depending on
market factors in the different areas of Larimer County.
For 2016, only owners that saw a change in value or ownership from the previous year
were mailed a notice with the new value and have the option to protest online. The
majority of property values do not change in even numbered years because Colorado is
on a two year reappraisal cycle. If you do not have the Notice of Value you may
complete and mail a 2015 Protest Form to our office no later than June 1, 2016.
Protests can also be filed in person, by letter or fax. We cannot accept appeals sent in
by email or taken over the phone.
Properties that are appealed during our protest period will be reviewed and a Notice of
Determination will be sent to those property owners on June 30, 2016. If you are
satisfied with the value after this review, the process ends and your tax will be based on
the value reflected in the notice of determination. If you disagree with the Assessor's
decision, the next step will be to file an appeal with the County Board of Equalization.
More details will be provided in the Notice of Determination that will be sent June 30,
2016.

Formula for Estimated Monthly Rates:
Single-family Lots Under 12,000 Square Feet
Monthly Rate = Lot Size x $0.0041454 x Rate Factor
Single-family Lots Over 12,000 Square Feet*
Monthly Rate = 12,000 x $0.0043527 x Rate Factor plus (Lot Size - 12,000) x
$0.0043527 x Rate Factor x 0.25
*These lots receive a reduction in fees on that portion of the lot greater than 12,000 feet.

ccy of Attachment 4
Fort Collins
In 1988, the various REA's in Colorado had a state statute approved by the legislature
requiring municipal electric utilities to pay what is called a "service rights fee" to the local
REA when provision of electric service is changed. This statute requires municipal
electric utilities that transfer electric service after an annexation to pay the local REA
25% of all revenue from existing customers (5% for new customers) starting on the date
of electric transfer for a period of 10 years. The REA perspective is this pays for their
lost revenue. The municipal utility perspective is it is an attempt to discourage
transferring electric customers to the municipal utility. Some municipal utilities in
Colorado choose to absorb the service rights fee. Fort Collins Light & Power, at the
direction of City Council, passes this expense on to the transferred customers.
Fort Collins Light & Power also purchases the REA infrastructure in addition to the
service rights fee. This infrastructure purchase cost is not passed on to the annexed
customers.
What other fees or taxes should I know about?
Stormwater Fee:
Fort Collins Utilities charges a monthly rate to pay for construction and maintenance of
Fort Collins' stormwater system, which helps protect residents and businesses during
storms and floods on a city-wide basis. All developed properties within city limits pay
stormwater rates, which are based on:
Example:
Lot 1 2224 Kechter Road 100,188 (2.3 5443 $37
Acres)
Lot 2 2220 Kechter Road 107,158 (2.46 4421 $38
-- ..----- - ---- Acres)
Formula:
Lot Size - lot area in square feet, plus the customer's share of open space in the
development, if applicable
Base Rate - $0.00
Rate Factor - based on the percentage of impervious area (surfaces that do not absorb
water) such as buildings, parking lots and concrete
This is an estimated fee based on 2017 rates. A stormwater fee specialist will be able to calculate the
exact fees.

Can you give us a recent example of an enclave annexation?
Yes, there were four Southwest Enclave Annexations totally 1,603 acres that were
phased in over time and were adopted by City Council between 2006 and 2013.
Does Larimer County have anything to say about enclave annexations?
Yes, Larimer County encourages the cities of Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud and
Estes Park to annex properties that have become enclaves and have been surrounded
by no less than three years. The City of Fort Collins and Larimer County have entered
into an Intergovernmental Agreement (I.G.A.) that establishes a Growth Management
Area (G.M.A.). Within this G.M.A., the City and County have agreed that growth and
development should be at an urban level and that the City, and/or special districts, is
best able to provide an urban level of public services. Under the I.G.A., with regard to
land located within the G.M.A., the City has agreed to pursue the annexation of
enclaves as those areas become eligible according to state law.
What about City zoning?
The requested zoning districts for these annexations comply with the City's Structure
Plan Map, an element of the City's comprehensive plan, and are as follows:
Rennat Property — Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood, LMN; Medium
Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood, MMN; and Neighborhood Commercial,
NC.
Lehman / Timberline — Urban Estate, U-E.
Mail Creek Second — Urban Estate, U-E.
How long will the annexation process take?
Typically an annexation process takes between 3 and 4 months once the annexation
process is initiated.
Why make us a pay an electric surcharge when we the City of Fort Collins is
annexing us unwillingly?
There is a Colorado statute that requires annexing utilities, such as Fort Collins Light &
Power, to pay to the REA 25% of revenue every month for a period of 10 years after the
electric service is transferred (not from the date of annexation). Each customer's rate
will be based on the normal Light & Power rates + this 25%. At the end of the 10 year
period, the REA surcharge is discontinued. Even with the 25% adder, the Fort Collins
Light & Power residential rates are less than the Poudre Valley REA rates for most
classes of customers.

November 15, 2016 Enclave Annexation Outreach Summary
Question and Answers
What is an enclave?
An enclave is a property, or group of properties, that are located in unincorporated
Larimer County but, due to urban growth and development over time, are now
surrounded by the City of Fort Collins municipal boundary.
How is it that our properties became enclaves?
The properties in the vicinity of South Timberline Road and Kechter Road have been
divided into three separate enclave annexations and have become, or will soon
become, enclaves in the following manner:
Rennat Property: This is a single 57.834 acre parcel located between
Timberline Road and the Union Pacific Railroad. As a result of the Hansen
Farm Annexation, this parcel became an eligible enclave on May 21, 2013.
Lehman/Timberline Property: This is a single 5.684 acre City -owned parcel
located east of Timberline Road north of Bacon Elementary School, As a
result of the Mail Creek Crossing Annexation, this parcel will fulfill the three-
year statutory requirements on January 7, 2017.
Mail Creek Second Annexation Properties: This is an enclave that consists of
43.698 acres and 11 parcels located at the northeast and southeast corners
of Timberline Road and Kechter Road with the exception of the parcels
owned by the Jehovah's Witnesses Church and the Thorland Subdivision,
which are already part of the City of Fort Collins. As a result of the Mail Creek
Crossing Annexation, these properties will fulfill the three-year statutory
requirements on January 7, 2017.
What is an enclave annexation?
An enclave annexation is a growth management technique used by municipalities that
allows Cities and Towns to establish a unified jurisdiction that does not have pockets of
unincorporated land. After an enclave is created, three years must elapse before the
City or Town can annex the property or multiple properties.
Is it normal for the City of Fort Collins to annex properties after the three year
period?
Yes, it has long been the City's practice to annex enclaves after three years.

The property became an enclave upon annexation of the Mail Creek Crossing Annexation on January
17, 2014. The surrounding incorporated land consists of three previous annexations.
1. Hansen Farm Annexation, 2013
2. Liebl Annexation, 2004
3. Poudre School District and Timbers P.U.D. Annexation, 2002
Mail Creek Ditch borders the 5.684 site to the north, Bacon Elementary School to the south and S
Timberline Rd to the west. The property contains one single-family residence, owned by the City of Fort
Collins. The requested zoning for this annexation is Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (LMN), which
is consistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan.
The existing use of the site is single-family detached residential. The LMN district allows for myriad uses
subject to Basic Development Review (BDR), Administrative review, or Planning and Zoning Board
review. The Land Use Code describes this zone district as follows:
LMN Purpose: The Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District is intended to be a setting for a
predominance of low -density housing combined with complementary and supporting land uses that
serve a neighborhood and are developed and operated in harmony with the residential characteristics of
a neighborhood. The main purpose of the District is to meet a wide range of needs of everyday living in
neighborhoods that include a variety of housing choices that invite walking to gathering places, services
and conveniences, and that are fully integrated into the larger community by the pattern of streets,
blocks, and other linkages. A neighborhood center provides a focal point, and attractive walking and
biking paths invite residents to enjoy the center as well as the small neighborhood parks. Any new
development in this District shall be arranged to form part of an individual neighborhood.
Typically, Low Density Neighborhoods will be clustered around and integral with a Medium Density
Mixed -Use Neighborhood with a Neighborhood Commercial Center at its core. For the purposes of this
Division, a neighborhood shall be considered to consist of approximately eighty (80) to one hundred
sixty (160) acres, with its edges typically consisting of major streets, drainageways, irrigation ditches,
railroad tracks and other major physical features.
In terms of potential development, on January 20, 2017 the parcel was submitted for Conceptual Review
by the City of Fort Collins Parks Department. Attachment 4 shows a preliminary concept plan with a
proposal to convert the existing single-family residence into a community facility for the storage of
maintenance equipment during the construction of Twin Silo Community Park. It is important to note that
land development is not related to the annexation and zoning.
Public Outreach:
An outreach process is not required by Colorado Revised Statues or the City of Fort Collins Land Use
Code. However, on November 15, 2016, City staff held a stakeholder meeting to answer questions and
inform residents of any changes that may result from being annexed into the City. Representatives from
Planning and Light and Power were present to explain any potential difference in electrical rates,
services, zoning and future public improvements. Attachment 5 is a summary of the questions and
answers provided to residents who attended the meeting.
