The existing use of the enclaved parcels is single-family detached residential. The Urban Estate (UE) district allows for a limited number of uses when compared to the adjacent Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood, zone district. Uses permitted in the UE zone district are subject to Basic Development Review (BDR), Administrative review, or Planning and Zoning Board review. The Land Use Code describes this zone district as follows: The Urban Estate District is intended to be a setting for a predominance of low -density and large -lot housing. The main purposes of this District are to acknowledge the presence of the many existing subdivisions which have developed in these uses that function as parts of the community and to provide additional locations for similar development, typically in transitional locations between more intense urban development and rural or open lands. Public Outreach An outreach process is not required by Colorado Revised Statues or the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. However, on February 23, 2017, 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 Services and Utilities were present to explain any potential difference in electrical rates, services, zoning and future public improvements. Attachment 4 is a FAQ sheet provided to residents who attended the meeting or forwarded as an email to any party of interest. During or after outreach efforts, city staff has not received any complaints of the anticipated enclave annexation. Findings of Fact Conclusion: In evaluating the request for the Blehm-Homestead Enclave Annexation, Staff makes the following findings of fact: The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins as contained in the amended Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements.
