Box 580 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 • (303) 221-6750 SERVICES, PLANNING DEPARTMENT Taft Canyon Second -Annex. and Zoning - #22-87, A P & Z Meeting - May 18, 1987 Page 2 1. Background: The applicant and owner, the City of Fort Collins, is requesting annexation of approximately .642 acres of property, located south of Horsetooth Road and west of the Taft Canyon PUD, west of Taft Hill Road. The property is undeveloped. This is a voluntary annexation. This property, when combined with the Taft Canyon First Annexation, will give contiguity for annexation to other properties located west of the Taft Canyon PUD within the Urban Growth Area. The property in the future can also be used in conjunction with other properties which annex into the City to create an enclave for additional annexation of developed properties in the general area. The property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. Accord- ing 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 prop- erty is eligible for annexation according to State law. The property will gain the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a common boundary with the Taft Canyon First Annexation to the south. The requested zoning for this annexation is the T-Transitional, Zoning Dis- trict. The T district designation is used as a holding zone for properties annexed into the City with no immediate development plans. The property will probably never develop independently because of its geometric shape but could be used as a bike/pedestrian corridor between existing and future developments. 2. Findings 1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agree- ments 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 be used as a holding zone for the property. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the annexation and requested zoning. Mm:
