September 5, 1995 1 3 -EM NUMBER: 12 A-C Poudre River floodplain, and the Arapaho Bend Natural Area. Due to these natural features, the property to the east will not likely develop. Since the property is located on the edge of the urban area, with rural -residential uses on the north and south, the location is not particularly well -suited for the creative and flexible site planning afforded by the P.U.D. process. With R-L zoning the parcel will act as a transition between the urbanized Woodland Park Estates and the natural features to the cast. (As precedent, the Wild West Annexation, eight acres located north and west of the subject annexation, was zoned R-L-P, without the P.U.D. condition.) Based on existing conditions, neighborhood compatibility, and surrounding land uses, Staff finds that the P.U.D. condition is not warranted and that the R-L Zone District is a sufficient regulatory tool by which to govern land development on this parcel. FINDINGS: The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins as 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. 3. The request is 100% voluntary. 4. On July 18, 1995, the City Council approved a Resolution which accepted the annexation petition and determined that the petition is in compliance with State law. The resolution also initiated the annexation process for this property. 5. On July 24, 1995 the Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the annexation and zoning request. 6. The requested R-L, Low Density Residential Zone District, is in conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 7. It is appropriate and consistent that the annexation and zoning of the property not include the P.U.D. condition and that the R-L, Low Density Residential Zone District, contains sufficient regulations by which to govern land development on this property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the annexation and the requested zoning. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Board, at its regular monthly meeting on July 24, 1995, voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the requested annexation and zoning as part of the Board's Consent Agenda. DATE: September 5, 1995 2 TEM NUMBER: 12 A-C The applicants have submitted a written petition requesting annexation and zoning for a parcel known as the Robert Shields Second Annexation. The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. According to the 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 U.G.A. when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. The property gains the required 1/6th (one -sixth) contiguity to existing city limits from the following common boundary: North: Wild West Annexation West: Robert Shields First Annexation West: Strachan Farm Annexation The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: FA-1 (County); Existing residential on 2.29 acre (minimum) lots N: R-L-P; Vacant (future church) S: FA-1 (County); Existing residential/farm on 15 acres (Thomas property) E: FA-1 (County). Vacant (Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch, Poudre River Floodplain) W: R-L-P; Vacant (Woodland Park Estates Final P.U.D.) The Robert Shields Second Annexation is located directly east of the Robert Shields First Annexation and the Strachan Farm Annexation. Together, these two earlier annexations comprise the Woodland Park Estates Final P.U.D., a 35 acre residential project. The requested zoning is R-L, Low Density Residential, without the P.U.D. condition. The R-L Zone is for low density residential areas located throughout the City. This zone is a very restrictive district in that no duplexes or multi -family land uses are allowed by right.. Staff recommends the R-L Zone not contain the condition that land development proceed as a P.U.D. due to existing character, compatibility with surrounding properties, and location of the parcel. (The option to submit a development proposal as a planned unit development remains.) The existing character of the area is large -lot rural -residential developed in Larimer County. The property presently contains two dwellings. (One of these is a modular home that could be moved to another location.) The immediate property to the south is a 15 acre rural home/farm (Thomas property). The R-L Zone will help preserve this existing character. Neighborhood compatibility has been extensively negotiated over the last 15 months in connection with the proposed Woodland Park Estates P.U.D. on the 35 acres located to the west. This P.U.D. features larger, urban -style lots on its eastern perimeter (and patio homes and townhomes on the western edge) by design to promote compatibility with [he exisitng County properties. By not attaching the P.U.D. condition, these 6.07 acres will be allowed to develop without the requirement that there be a minimum of 3.00 dwelling units per acre, (18 units) or without the need to apply for a variance to the P & Z Board. The surrounding property owners are in support of this zoning without the P.U.D. condition. The location of the site is internal to the square mile section. Access would be gained via local streets. The site is up on the Poudre River Bluff. To the east is the Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch, the a AGENDA ITEti, SUMMARY ITE, 4UMBER: 12 A-C DATE: September 5, 1995 FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Ted Shepard SUBJECT: — I Items Relating to the Robert Shields Second Annexation and Zoning.
