Backaround:
The applicant and owner, Ronald J. Carry, General Manager, Poudre
Valley Rural Electric Association, has submitted a written petition
requesting annexation of approximately 9.4 acres located west of
College Avenue and south of Harmony Road, south of the Arbor Plaza
Shopping Center (Wal-Mart). The requested zoning is the H-B,
Highway Business District. The property is presently developed as
the main office of the Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association.
The eastern third of the property is currently zoned B-Business,
while the western two-thirds of the property is zoned C-Commercial
in the County. This is a voluntary annexation. Any existing
commercial signs on the property will have to conform to the City's
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 Arbor Commercial Annexation to the north and
the Fairway Estates Business Annexation to the east.
The surrounding zoning and existing land uses are as follows:
N: H-B, Highway Business, Arbor Plaza Shopping Center
E: B-L, Limited Business, variety of retail, commercial and
office uses
S: T-Tourist (County), Fort Collins Nursery
W: FA-1, Farming (County), large lot residential development
The requested zoning for this annexation is the H-B, Highway
Business District. The H-B District designation is for automobile
oriented businesses. The property will probably eventually
redevelop with a commercial use which has a regional/community
focus. According to the City's LAND USE POLICIES PLAN,
regional/community commercial uses should located near
transportation facilities that offer the required access to the
uses, in ares served by public transportation, and in areas served
by existing water and sewer utilities. This site addresses these
locational policies. Redevelopment plans for the property include
the possibility of a new and used car dealership.
