The remainder of the property must be permanently preserved as open space in a manner acceptable to the City. According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the UGA Agreement, the foothills area, due to the environmental uniqueness of the area, is not appropriate for urban densities (three or more units per acre). The City's R-F Zone was specifically designed to be applied to properties near the foothills when they annexed into the City. Development in the R-F Zone is limited to single-family residential uses, schools, churches, and group quarters. Findings 1. 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 January 4, 1994, 1994, the City Council approved a resolution which accepts the annexation petition and determines that the petition is in compliance with State law. The resolution also initiates 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 February 15, 1994. 4. The requested R-F, Foothills Residential District is in conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. STAFF Staff recommends approval of the annexation and requested zoning.
