Collins, as contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins
Urban Growth Area.
2. The Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning meets all criteria
included in State law to qualify for annexation by the City of Fort Collins.
3. The requested UE-Urban Estate zone district is in conformance with the policies
of the City's Comprehensive Plan (City Plan).
RECOMMENDATION:

the City Council to approve the Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning
with a zoning of LIE -Urban Estate.
Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning, #13-98A
June 18, 1998 P & Z Meeting
Page 5
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 and zoning. 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 Vine 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 not impact 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 by and the responsibility of any
homeowner's associations.
Zoning and Land Use Restrictions:
Any action by the City of Fort Collins regarding the Lincoln Junior High School 1st and
2nd Annexations and Zonings does not result in a change in zoning for properties not
included with these two annexations. Land outside of the proposed annexations and
zonings will remain in the County subject to County zoning regulations. Therefore,
farming and related activities may continue. If the property owners in the vicinity were
to desire to seek voluntarily annexation, 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.
Existing Covenants:
The question as to whether the proposed annexation and zoning would dissolve the
existing covenants was raised. The proposed annexation and zoning will have no
impact on the existing covenants. The homeowner's association enforces the
covenants, and the City only enforces zoning regulations.
5. Neighborhood Meeting
A neighborhood meeting is scheduled for June 10, 1998, concerning the proposed
annexation and zoning. The questions and concerns identified at that meeting will be
presented at the worksession scheduled on June 12, 1998.
FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSION:
1. The Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning is consistent with
the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort
Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning, #13-98A
June 18, 1998 P & Z Meeting

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).
The Poudre School District indicated that it is seeking annexation and zoning 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
Poudre 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.
2. onin :
The proposed zoning for the Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning 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 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 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.
3. Compliance with State law:
The annexation has 20% of its perimeter boundary contiguous with existing City limits,
which complies with the minimum 1/6th contiguity as required by State law.
4. Issues Raised by the Neighborhood
Several issues were raised by affected property owners at the Planning and Zoning
Board hearing on April 16, 1998. This issues included the following:
■ possible increases to property taxes;
■ parties 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 zoning; and
■ possible impacts to existing covenants.

COMMENTS:
1. Background
The Poudre School District submitted a written petition requesting a 100% voluntary
annexation and zoning of approximately 48.7 acres in size and is located on West Vine
Drive, between North Shields Street and North Taft Hill Road. The existing use of the
property is a junior high school.
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 2nd Annexation and Zoning complies with this
requirement. The property has 2,899.84 feet of its total boundary length of 14,692.19
feet (20%) contiguous to existing City limits. This exceeds the minimum 2,448.70 feet
required to achieve 1/6th contiguity.
The contiguity to existing City limits is gained from the following common boundaries:
S: Lincoln Junior High 1st Annexation
N: Lincoln Junior High 1st Annexation
The annexation and zoning of the Lincoln Junior High School is being accomplished
through sequential annexations in order to gain the required 1/6th contiguity to existing
City limits. The Lincoln Junior High School 2nd Annexation and Zoning is the second of
two annexations regarding the Lincoln Junior High School.
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 surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: FA -Farming (County zoning) -large lot residential
S: FA -Farming (County zoning) -existing single-family residential
E: FA -Farming (County zoning) -existing single-family residential (Granada
Heights)
W: FA -Farming (County zoning) -large lot residential

June 18, 1998 P & Z Meeting
Page 2
The proposed zoning for the Lincoln Junior High 2nd Annexation and Zoning is UE-
Urban Estate. The recommended zoning is consistent with City Plan Principles and
Policies for the Urban Estate district and complies with the designation on the City
Structure Plan.
The City Council adopted a resolution initiating annexation proceedings on March 17,
1998, and the item was scheduled for first reading by City Council on April 21, 1998.
On April 16, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 3-3 on the proposed
annexation and zoning. The tied vote resulted in a recommendation of denial to the
City Council.
An error occurred in notification of affected property owners prior to the Planning and
Zoning Board hearing. Thus, staff recommended to the City Council that the item be
remanded to the Board for further review. The proposed annexation and zoning will be
scheduled for City Council hearing following the recommendation by the Planning and
Zoning Board.
