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 the City of 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 of Fort Collins so that the provision
of urban level services by Larimer County would be minimized.
One of the key implementation agreements reached between Larimer County
and the City of Fort Collins deals with the annexation of property within the
urban growth area. Essentially, the City of Fort Collins has agreed to annex
all property within the urban growth area. This annexation agreement extends
to both voluntary annexations and the involuntary annexation of county
enclaves. County enclaves are properties and 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
by the city for three or more years. The property which you own is included
within such a county enclave. City staff has prepared an Annexation Petition
as the first step in the process of annexing your property.
Your property, located north of Harmony Road and west of the Union Pacific
railroad tracks, has been included in an Annexation Petition called: Harmony
Annexation No. 7.
City staff has proposed your property be placed into the I-P, Industrial Park,
zoning district. The following uses are allowed in the I-P Zone:

property, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to address all of
your concerns.
