Land outside of the proposed annexations and zoning will remain in the County subject to County zoning regulations. Therefore, fanning and related activities may continue. If the property owners in the vicinity were to desire to voluntarily annex, the property most likely would be zoned as follows: to the north of Vine Drive--UE-Urban Estate; and the south of Vine Drive-- LMN-Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. r. s Existing Covenants: The question as to whether the proposed Annexation would dissolve the existing covenants was raised. The proposed Annexation will have no impact on the existing covenants. The homeowner's association enforces the covenants and the City only enforces zoning regulations. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: On July 16, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 3-2 to recommend denial of the proposed Lincoln Junior High School lst and 2nd Annexations to the City Council. Rationale put forth by members of the Planning and Zoning Board for a recommendationAf denial included the following reasons: 1. the increased costs to maintain roadways that the City would absorb as a result of the annexations; and 2. the increased costs to maintain portions of Vine Drive outweighed the community benefit of the proposed school annexations. The issues raised during the public input portion of the hearing were very similar to earlier concerns voiced by members of the neighborhood and included the following: 1. the neighborhood was never contacted when the Poudre School District installed the ballfields and the fence.and they are concerned about the•possibility of lighting; 2.. how does the annexationimpact the current study that -being completed by the City and the County regarding the West Vine Drainage Basin; and will the annexation result in immediate improvements to Vine Drive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Lincoln Junior High School 1 st Annexation with a zoning of UE- Urban Estate zone district, which is consistent with the adopted City Plan. DATE: 'EM NUMBER: All commercial signs on the property will have to conform to the City's Sign Code at the conclusion of a five (5) year amortization period (the year 2003). Proposed Zoning The proposed zoning for the Lincoln Junior High School 1st Annexation is the UE-Urban Estate zone district. The purpose of the UE zone is described in the Land Use Code as being: "intended to be a settingfor a predominance oflow-density and large -lot housing. The main purposes of this district are to aclrnowledgeitthe 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 lends. " Public and private schools for elementary, intermediate and high school education are permitted uses in the UE zone district. The proposed zoning is consistent with City Plan and the designation on the City Structure Plan. Compliance with State Law The annexation has 17% of its perimeter boundary..contiguous with existing City limits, which complies with the minimum 1/6th contiguity as required by'State law. Issues Raised by the Neighborhood Several issues were raised by affected property owners at the Planning and Zoning Board hearing on April 16, 1998, as well as the neighborhood meeting held on June 10,1998. This issues included the following: possible increases to property taxes, who would be responsible for the maintenance and improvements to roads, zoning and land use restrictions placed on their properties as a result of the proposed annexation, and any impacts to existing covenants. Possible Increases to Property Taxes: The property taxes for those individuals living adjacent to :and in the vicinity of the proposed annexation will not increase as a result'of the Annexation. The annexation does not include any property other than the school and road ROW. Therefore, the annexation changes the political boundary for these two areas and does not include any of the adjoining neighbors. Maintenance and Improvements to Road: Currently, portions of V ine Drive are maintained by the City of Fort Collins, and the ROW proposed by the annexation would be maintained by the City as well. Any additional improvements to the road system would most likely be the responsibility of a developer and/or the City. This annexation will have no impact to streets not located within the proposed annexation. Therefore, the privately owned streets in the vicinity will remain privately -owned and will continue to be maintained and a responsibility of any homeowner's associations. DATE: TEM NUMBER: The Poudre School District submitted a written petition requesting a 100% voluntary annexation of approximately 1.89 acres in size and is located on West Vine Drive, between North Shields Street and North Taft Hill Road. The proposed annexation consists entirely of right-of-way along Vine Drive. This is a voluntary annexation, located within the Urban Growth Area of the City of Fort Collins. The City may annex property located within the Urban Growth Area Boundary, provided that the property has 1/6th contiguity with the.existing City:boundary. The proposed Lincoln Junior High 1 st Annexation complies with this requirement 'The propertyhas 904.00 feet of its total boundary length of 5,419.13 feet (17%) this to existing City limits. This exceeds the minimum 903.13 feet required to achieve 1 /6th contiguity. The contiguity to existing City limits is gained from the following common boundaries: S: Northside Baptist Church Annexation N: Granada Heights Annexation The Annexation of the Lincoln Junior High School is being accomplished through sequential annexations in order to gain the required 1/6th contiguityy to existing -City limits. The Lincoln Junior High School 1st Annexation is the first of two annexations regarding the Lincoln Junior High School. i According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area, the City will consider the annexation of property in the Urban Growth Area when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. The resolution initiating annexation proceedings was adopted by City Council on August 4, 1998. The Poudre School District indicated that it is seeking annexation for two reasons. First, the school currently is served by Public Service for electricity needs. If the annexation is approved, the provider becomes the City of Fort Collins Light and Power.Utility; and this entity would provide service that is more cost-effective for the,Toudre-School District. Second, if the Lincoln Junior High School is located within the City limits, `the school receives police protection from the City of Fort Collins Police Department and may -participate in various programs offered by the Police. Currently, Lincoln Junior High School contacts the Larimer County Sheriff in cases of emergency.
