The requested zoning is the R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential, District. The property is presently undeveloped, but the applicant plans to construct a single-family home on the site.

The surrounding zoning and existing land uses are as follows: N: FA-1, Farming, large lot single-family residential E: FA-1, Farming, large lot single-family residential S: Pending Robert Shields Annexation R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential, undeveloped W: R-L-P, English Ranch, single-family residential subdivision E-P, Employment Park, undeveloped The requested zoning for this annexation is the R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential, District. The R-L-P District designation is for areas planned as a unit to provide variation in use, density, and building placement. The owner intends on constructing a single-family home on the site. A building site was approved by Larimer County as Tract 1 of the Nussbaumer Minor Residential Development (M.R.D.).
