On October 4, 1994, the City Council approved a resolution which accepts the annexation petition and determines that the petition is in compliance with State law. The resolution also initiates the annexation process for this property by establishing the date, time and place when a public hearing will be held regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area. Public hearing and first reading of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the property will be considered by the City Council on November 15, 1994. 4. The requested I-L, Limited Industrial, District is in conformance with the policies of the City,s Comprehensive Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION - Staff recommends approval of the annexation and requested zoning. Staff also recommends that a PUD condition be attached to the I-L Zone for the property which would require all redevelopment proposals for the property to be reviewed against the criteria of the LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM. East Lincoln Third Annexation and Zoning, #40-94,A October 24, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 3 N: R-L, Low Density Residential, Andersonville Subdivision I, Industrial, and I-L, Limited Industrial, undeveloped E: I-L, Limited Industrial, undeveloped S: I, Industrial, undeveloped W: I-L, Limited Industrial, partially developed industrial subdivision The requested' zoning for this annexation is the I-L, Limited Industrial, District. The I-L District designation is for light industrial uses such as the manufacture of electronic instruments, preparation of food products, and research and scientific laboratories. Properties located to the immediate east and immediate west are also zoned I-L. This property will essentially become part of the western portion of the Valley Air Park industrial area. This property will probably eventually develop with a convenience store, a mix of convenience related retail, and light industrial uses. The applicant's main intent of annexing this property is to locate a convenience store at the Lincoln/Lemay intersection. Convenience shopping centers are required to address locational policies and design criteria specifically developed for that type of land use, as well as the additional review criteria contained in the City's planned unit development (PUD) code, the LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM. A free-standing convenience store at the Lincoln/Lemay intersection would not likely receive approval according to the City's land use policies. A convenience store would be required to be part of a larger "center" of 5-7 acres. The City's MASTER STREETS PLAN categorizes the adjacent streets into the following functional classifications: Lemay Avenue, arterial (4 lanes) Lincoln Avenue, arterial (4 lanes) Lemay Avenue is planned to be realigned to the east of the Andersonville Subdivision. The road will eventually separate Andersonville from this property. Findings 1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR THE FORT COLLINS URBAN GROWTH AREA. 2. The area meets all criteria included in State law to qualify for a voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins. East Lincoln Third Annexation and Zoning, #40-94,A . October 24, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 2 Background• The applicant, Diamond Shamrock, on behalf of the owner, Webster Associates, has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of approximately 17 acres located north of East Lincoln Ave. and east of Lemay Ave. The requested zoning is the I-L, Limited Industrial, District with a PUD condition. The property is currently zoned I, Industrial, in the County which allows a wide variety of commercial and industrial uses. The property is presently basically undeveloped, there is one single-family residence on the property. This is a voluntary annexation of property located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. The applicant anticipates the following uses to be developed on the property: a convenience store, other convenience related retail uses, and, possibly, some light industrial uses. Any existing commercial signs on, the property will have to conform to the City Is Sign Code at the conclusion of a five-year amortization period or upon redevelopment of the property. 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 Northeast Consolidated Annexation to the west and the Fort Collins Business Center Annexation to the north and east. The East Lincoln Avenue right-of-way is not included as part of the annexation because the street primarily serves developments in the County, therefore, the responsibility for road maintenance should remain with that governmental entity. When the property located south of East Lincoln Avenue is annexed, the street right- of-way will also be annexed at that time. Upon annexation of this property, an enclave will be created for a small piece of property located southeast of the Buckingham/Lemay intersection. This enclave property would become eligible for involuntary annexation in the later part of 1997, ie., three years after the final approval of the East Lincoln Third Annexation. The current County Zoning District for the property is the I, Industrial, Zone. The I Zone allows a wide variety of commercial and industrial uses, including automobile sales and repair, mobile home sales, builder's supply and lumber yards, machine shops, bottling works, and secondary manufacture, assembly, or packaging of products. The current zoning and existing land uses of surrounding properties are as follows: ITEM NO. 1 5 MEETING DATE 10 24-94 STAFF Ken Waido City of Fort Collins PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD STAFF REPORT PROJECT: East Lincoln Third Annexation and Zoning - #40-94, A APPLICANT: Diamond Shamrock c/o Galloway, Romero & Associates 14202 E.
