24. All utility extensions should be in conformance with the phased utility expansion portion of the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
Water service is available on the north side of Harmony Road, and can be available to serve
this property. The nearest sanitary sewer is located in County Road 9. The City
Wastewater Utility will allow the site to be served by a septic system subject to tieing onto
the public sewer at the time sewer becomes available to the property. The utility extensions
are in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
PART IV LOCATIONAL POLICIES FOR SPECIFIC LAND USES
60. Industrial uses should locate near transportation facilities that offer the required access to the
industry but will not be allowed to create demands which exceed the capacity of the existing and
future transportation network of the City.
The proposed development will meet this policy.
61. Industrial development should locate within the City or consistent with the phasing plan for the
urban growth area, where the proper sizing of facilities such as water, sewer and transportation
has occurred or is planned.
The proposed development will meet this policy.
74. Transitional land uses or area (linear greenbelts or other urban design elements) should be
provided between residential neighborhoods and commercial area in order to enhance the concept
of a mixture of land uses.
Although the proposed development (garden center and nursery) is not public open space,
it will provide significant amounts of green space and plant material that will enhance the
concept of a mixture of land uses along Harmony Road.
We are pleased to submit this request for annexation and zoning. Please call if you require further
information or have any questions.

The proposed Johnson Annexation is appropriate by virtue of being consistent with State Suite A
Law as well as existing City policies and regulations governing annexing and zoning of For(Ce l oiColorado
lorado�80524
PHONproperty. The site gains its required one sixth contiguity by being adjacent to the FAX (303) 224 2956
Hewlett-Packard site along its northerly property boundary.
The following City policies would be met with the proposed annexation and zoning as
well as the eventual development of a large scale garden center / nursery at this location.

PART II GROWTH MANAGEMENT
14. Urban development standards shall apply to all development within the urban growth area.
Urban development standards will be met by this development.
15. . Development in the urban growth area shall be consistent with development policies set forth in
this plan.
Development of the proposed garden center nursery will be consistent with the LAND USE
POLICIES PLAN, the LDGS and the HARMONY CORRIDOR PLAN.
21. All levels of commercial development, including convenience, neighborhood, community and
regional shopping which have significant transportation impacts on South College Avenue will
be discouraged from gaining their primary access from College Avenue.
This proposed development (garden center / nursery) would move off South College Avenue
to Harmony Road as a result of this annexation.
22. Preferential consideration shall be given to urban development proposals which are contiguous
to existing development within the city limits or consistent with the phasing plan for the City's
urban growth area.
This parcel is contiguous to existing development (Hewlett-Packard) and fits within a

Backaround:
The applicant, Ripley Associates, on behalf of the owners, Glen and
Jean Johnson, has submitted a written petition requesting
annexation of approximately 38.5 acres located south of Harmony
Road and about one-half mile east of County Road #9. The requested
zoning is the E-P, Employment Park, District. The property is
currently zoned FA-1, Farming in the County which allows single-
family dwellings on a minimum lot size of 100,000 square feet (2.29
acres). The property is presently undeveloped. This is a
voluntary annexation of property located within the Fort Collins
Urban Growth Area. The applicant anticipates the property to be
developed as a retail garden center and commercial nursery. A
similar use was located on the property in the County, but because
the use was a zoning violation it was removed by the County.
The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area.
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 UGA when the property is
eligible for annexation according to State law. The property gains
the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a common
boundaries with the Harmony Annexation No. 4 to the north and the
Ricketts First and Second Annexations and the Harmony Farm
Annexation to the west. If this annexation is approved by the City
Council, a 10 acre enclave area will be created. Currently, the
enclave contains some single-family homes. The enclave would
become eligible for involuntary annexation by the City after it has
been completely surrounded for a period of three years, ie., in
early 1998.
The current County Zoning District for the property is the FA-1,
Farming Zone. The FA-1 Zone allows single-family dwellings on a
minimum lot size of 100,000 square feet (2.29 acres).
The current zoning and existing land uses of surrounding properties
are as follows:
N: I-L, Limited Industrial, Hewlett Packard Plant
E: B-P, Planned Business, Antique Store
FA-1, Farming, vacant
S: FA-1, Farming, vacant (outside the UGA boundary)
W: I-L, Limited Industrial, vacant
FA-1, Farming, single-family residential
E-P, Employment Park, vacant
The requested zoning for this annexation is the E-P, Employment
Park, District. The E-P District designation is for areas of the
