DATE: September 15, 1987 -2- I ITEM NUMBER: 13 a-b 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 annex 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 boundary with the Timberline Horsetooth Second Annexation to the south, and the Nelson Second Annexation and the Greenwalt Tenth Annexation to the west. The requested zoning for this annexation is the T-Transition, Zoning District. The T district designation is used as a holding zone for properties not in an immediate development mode. The only uses allowed in the T zone are the uses which existed at the time the property was annexed. Prior to the approval of any development application, the property will have to be rezoned to another of the City's zoning districts. There are no known immediate development plans for the property. 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 by the City of Fort Collins. 3. The requested T-Transitional zoning district will act as a holding zone until the property is ready for development.
