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. 3. On April 19, 1994, the City Council approved a resolution which accepts the annexation petition and determined that the petition is in compliance with State law. The resolution also initiated 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 June 7, 1994. 4. The requested R-L--P 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 R-L-P Zone for the property which would require all development proposals for the property to be reviewed against the criteria of the LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM. Strachan Farm Annexation and Zoning, #18-94 April 25, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 2 Backaround: The applicant, Chateau Custom Builders, Inc., on behalf of the owners, Marvin D. & Doris E. Strachan, has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of approximately 17.9 acres located east of County Road #9 and north of the Hewlett Packard Plant on Harmony Road. The requested zoning is the R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential, District. The property is presently undeveloped. The property is currently zoned FA-1 Farming in the County. This is a voluntary annexation. 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 Harmony No. 4 Annexation to the south. The surrounding zoning and existing land uses are as follows: N: FA-1, Farming, undeveloped (the proposed Robert Shield Annexation) E: FA-1, Farming, undeveloped S: I-L, Limited Industrial, Hewlett Packard industrial plant W: FA-1 Farming, undeveloped (the pending Spring Creek Farms Annexation No. 4) 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. Due to the property's relatively small size, a wide variety of uses is not likely to occur. The property will probably eventually develop predominantly with residential uses. Due to the property's adjacency to Hewlett Packard, and the pending NCR site, the property may be appropriate for higher density residential uses. According to the City's LAND USE POLICIES PLAN, higher density uses are encouraged to located near major employment centers. While this site addresses some of the locational policies for higher density residential uses, such uses may meet with opposition from existing residents located north of the site who live within a larger lot subdivision. However, the City should not preclude the potential of higher density housing at the time of annexing and zoning the property.
