Principles and Policies for Hughes Stadium Annexation
Principle LIV 1: City development will be contained by well-defined boundaries that will be managed
using various tools including utilization of a Growth Management Area, community coordination, and
Intergovernmental Agreements.
The proposed annexation will contain any future development within a well-defined boundary.
• Policy LIV 1.1 — Utilize a Growth Management Area Collaborate with the County and other
jurisdictions in utilizing a Growth Management Area (GMA) surrounding Fort Collins to guide
and manage growth outside of the City limits and delineate the extent of urban development in
Fort Collins.
The Hughes Stadium Annexation is a defined expansion area and depicted on the City's
Structure Plan Map. Growth within this area has been anticipated and identified by the City.
Communication from Larimer County Community Development has indicated they are aware of
the annexation and that formal action in accordance with Section 8.F of the IGA is not required.
• Policy LIV 1.2 — Consider Amendments to the Growth Management Area (GMA) The Growth
Management Area (GMA) will remain generally as presently configured but will be subject to
limited amendments in accordance with the following criteria. Two particular amendments to
the GMA that have been identified for future consideration are the Wildflower and CSU Foothills
Campus.

Because the Hughes Stadium Annexation is identified as part of a future GMA expansion area it
is consistent with community goals, principles and policies expressed in City Plan. Once the
property contained within the annexation is part of the municipal limits, any future
development will be subject to the City's capital, building and review fees.
