FINDINGS: 1. 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. 2. The area meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for a voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins. 3. The requested zone district, G-C, General Commercial and P-O-L, Public Open Lands, are in compliance with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan, the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan, and with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan (City Plan). 4. On July 5, 2017, the City Council approved a resolution that accepted the annexation petition and determined that the petition was in compliance with State law. The resolution also initiated the annexation process for the property by establishing the date, time and place when a public hearing would be held regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Interstate Land Holdings annexation and requested zoning of G- C, General Commercial and P-O-L, Public Open Lands. ATTACHMENTS 1.

According to policies and agreements contained in the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the Growth Management Area when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. The Interstate Land Holdings Annexation gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a common boundary with the Fossil Creek Reservoir and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Open Space Annexation (Ordinance No. 054, 2008) and the Fossil Creek 392 Annexation (Ordinance No.139, 2009). The minimum contiguous boundary is 808.06 feet, based the total perimeter boundary of 4847.41 feet. The proposed annexation includes a contiguous boundary of 1042.18 feet, thus satisfying the requirement that no less than one -sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing city boundary. The requested zoning for this annexation includes the G-C District for the Interstate Land Holdings property (Lot 2) and CDOT right-of-way, and the P-O-L District for the City owned parcel (Lot 3). The requested zoning districts are consistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. The uses permitted in this G-C District are subject to either administrative review or review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The Land Use Code describes this zone district as follows: The General Commercial District is intended to be a setting for development, redevelopment and infill of a wide range of community and regional retail uses, offices and personal and business services. Secondarily, it can accommodate a wide range of other uses including creative forms of housing. While some General Commercial District areas may continue to meet the need for auto -related and other auto -oriented uses, it is the City's intent that the General Commercial District emphasizes safe and convenient personal mobility in many forms, with planning and design that accommodates pedestrians.
