Dear Property Owner,
In May of 1980, the governments of Larimer County and the City of
Fort Collins, Colorado, officially adopted a land use planning
document known as THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR THE FORT
COLLINS URBAN GROWTH AREA. The purpose of the urban growth area
was to delineate an area surrounding Fort Collins which was deemed
appropriate for the development of urban types of land uses and
residential densities and the provision of urban levels of public
services and facilities. One of the stated intents of the urban
growth area agreement was to have urban development occur within
the City so that the provision of urban level services by the
County would be minimized.
One of the key implementation agreements reached between the County
and the City deals with the annexation of property within the urban
growth area. Essentially, the City has agreed to consider for
annexation, all property within the urban growth area that meets
State eligibility requirements for annexation. This annexation
agreement extends to both voluntary annexations and the involuntary
annexation of county enclaves. County enclaves are areas which
have been completely surrounded by the City. The State of
Colorado's annexation laws allow a municipality to annex county
enclaves which have been completely surrounded for three or more
years.
Property which you own, located on the southwest corner of the
intersection of South Taft Hill Road and West Drake Road, is
included within such a county enclave. (Please see attached map
for specific location of this annexation request). City staff has
prepared an Annexation Request as the first step in the process of
annexing your property. The annexation will be called: The Frame
Annexation and Zoning.
City Staff has proposed that your property be placed in the R-P,
Planned Residential Zoning District (with a Planned Unit
Development condition). The R-P zone is for areas planned as a unit
to provide a variation in use and building placement. The following
uses are allowed within the R-P zone:
1. Single-family dwellings;
2. Public and private schools for elementary and high school
education;
3. Public and nonprofit quasi -public recreational uses as a
principal use;
