The proposed annexation area is bounded on two sides by major streets which should adequately serve the access needs. The proposed zoning is consistent with its existing county zoning. 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. Due to the close proximity of urbanized areas to this area and being presently zoned I in Larimer County the planning for this area should be in place. Policy 88 - The City will prohibit development which interferes with public access to designated open space area. This site does not interfere with public access to open space areas. -3- Policy 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 proposal meets the contiguity requirements for annexation. Policy 29 - City provided services and facilities shall be utilized as a tool to direct or discourage development in desired directions. This annexation is closer to the core of the City of Fort Collins than many other annexed areas. Since development has already occurred in this direction infill development such as this should be encouraged. Also since this area is northeast of the City it is a publically desired direction for growth (see commentary for Policy 39, 40, 41). Policy 39 - The City should direct efforts to promote improved traffic and pedestrian circulation and public transit to areas north and northeast of the City. This area is in the targeted zone. Policy 42 - The City shall promote the active annexation of areas to the north and northeast when such annexations promote an orderly development pattern. This annexation is in the area to be promoted. The proposed zoning with conditions will allow orderly development of the property through the use of the City's Land Development Guidance System.
