Fossil Creek Reservoir Plan
The parcel is located within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan, a joint plan between the City of Fort Collins and
Larimer County and adopted in 1998. The planning area covers 5,062 acres of the southeast region of Fort Collins
within the GMA. The objectives of the Plan are to:
1. Build a self-supporting group of neighborhoods with a full complement of parks, schools and community
facilities linked by open space systems and consistent with the County's Master Plan and Fort Collins' City
Plan, Principles and Policies.
2. Provide for protection of sensitive wildlife habitat around the Reservoir as well as provide standards for such
habitat conservation.
3. Provide neighborhood centers as a focal point for neighborhood activity. Provide a Neighborhood Commercial
Center to serve surrounding neighborhoods including a grocery store or supermarket and other neighborhood
oriented retail services.
4. Link the area to other districts and neighborhoods, encourage walking and bicycling, and accommodate transit
service to the Neighborhood Commercial Center and other neighborhood centers.
5. Complement, but not compete with, development in the Harmony Corridor.
6. Provide a "Transfer of Density units" (TDU) program in which development units may be transferred from the
region between Fort Collins and Loveland to the Receiving Area portion of the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area
Plan.
7. Achieve higher densities where they are appropriate and feather to lower densities as development nears
Fossil Creek Reservoir.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no direct financial impacts as a result of the proposed zoning.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its December 15, 2016, regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 5-0 to recommend approval
of the annexation. Further, the Board recommended that the parcel be placed into the Low Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood (LMN), Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MMN), and Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
zone districts. This unanimous action was taken after the item was pulled for discussion. A community member
pulled the item due to concerns with area congestion and traffic that is being caused by new development.
However, the area resident left the meeting prior to being able to speak to the board and the board was made
aware of the resident's concerns through staff. The discussion pointed out that development was not occurring
on the site and that the City initiated annexation and zoning of this property is a fulfillment of the
Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
An outreach process is not required by the 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
various issues related to future public improvements associated with land development.

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/neighborhoodservices/)
• 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.fcgov.com/ to find out more.

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.

�rtf
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?
tormwater 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.

Fort Collins
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.

Agenda Item 10
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no direct financial impacts as a result of the proposed annexation
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its December 15, 2016, regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 5-0 to recommend approval
of the annexation. Further, the Board recommended that the parcel be placed into the Low Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood (LMN), Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MMN), and Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
zone districts. This unanimous action was taken after the item was pulled for discussion. A community member
pulled the item due to concerns with area congestion and traffic that is being caused by new development.
However, the area resident left the meeting prior to being able to speak to the Board and the Board was made
aware of the resident's concerns through staff. The discussion pointed out that development was not occurring
on the site and that the City initiated annexation and zoning of this property is a fulfillment of the
Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
An outreach process is not required by the 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 the Planning
and Light and Power departments were present to explain any potential difference in electrical rates, services,
zoning and various issues related to future public improvements associated with land development.
Attachment 4 is a summary of the questions and answers provided to residents who attended the meeting.

Agenda Item 10
STAFF
Kai Kleer, Planning Technician
SUBJECT
Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 023, 2017, Annexing Property Known as the Rennat
Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to annex 57.83 acres located at 6015 South Timberline Road into the City of Fort
Collins. The parcel became an enclave with the annexation of the Hansen Farm Annexation on February 15,
2013. As of February 15, 2016, the City was authorized to annex the enclave in accordance with State Statute
31-12-106. Staff is recommending placement into the Residential Neighborhood Sign district. The Rennat
Annexation is situated between the Union Pacific Railroad/South ridge Golf Course to the west and South
Timberline Road to the east. A related item to zone the proposed annexation presented as the next item on
this Agenda.
This annexation request is in conformance with the State of Colorado Revised Statutes as they relate to
annexations, the City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan, and the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins
Intergovernmental Agreements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
This is an involuntary enclave annexation for a property located within the Growth Management Area (GMA).
According to policies and agreements contained in the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins
Intergovernmental Agreement, the City will agree to involuntary annex property in the GMA when the property
becomes eligible pursuant to the Colorado Revised Statutes. The City of Fort Collins also has a long-standing
history of annexing property within the GMA to ensure that property conforms to the vision, goals and policies
of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The Rennat property is a single parcel annexation and was enclaved upon the annexation of the Hansen Farm
Annexation on February 15, 2013. The parcel abuts the Union Pacific Railroad/Southridge Golf Course to the
west and South Timberline Road to the east.
The proposed resolution complies with State Statute 31-12-106 which states that municipalities may, by
ordinance, involuntarily annex unincorporated areas that are contained entirely within the boundary of the
municipality, if said area has been so surrounded for three years. As of February 15, 2016, the City of Fort
Collins was authorized to annex the parcel located at 6015 South Timberline.
Due to its location, staff recommends placement into the Residential Neighborhood Sign District
