Jensen Enterprises OWNER: D Jensen Enterprises c/o Cityscape Urban Design P.O. Box 1007 3030 S. College Ave. #200 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Fort Collins, CO 80525 XDATE: November 21, 1989 -2- �dWTEM NUMBER: BACKGROUND: The applicant and owner, D. Jensen Enterprises, has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of approximately 80 acres located south of the Quail Hollow Subdivision, south of Drake Road. The requested zoning is in two parts: (1) approximately 67 acres of R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential, on the eastern portion of the property; and (2) approximately 13 acres of R-F, Foothills Residential District on the western portion of the property. The property is presently undeveloped. The property is currently zoned FA-1, Farming, in the County. This is a voluntary annexation. Any existing commercial signs on the property will have to conform to the City's Sign Code at the conclusion of a five year amortization period. 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 consider the annexation of 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 Dixon Creek Annexation to the north. The surrounding zoning and existing land uses are as follows: N: R-P, Planned Residential Zoning (with a PUD condition), the Quail Hollow Subdivision. E: FA-1, Farming, large lot single-family S: FA-1, Farming, undeveloped. W: R-F, Foothills Residential, City -owned open space. The requested zoning for this annexation is in two parts: ( 1 ) approximately 67 acres of R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential, on the eastern portion of the property; and (2) approximately 13 acres of R-F, Foothills Residential District on the western portion of the property. The R-L-P District designation is for areas planned as a unit to provide variation in use, density and building placement. The R-F District designation is for low density residential areas located near the foothills. The property will probably eventually develop with detached single-family homes. According to the City's LAND USE which have easy access to existing or planned neighborhood and community/regional shopping centers, which have easy access to major employment centers, are within walking distance to an existing or planned elementary school, are within easy walking distance to an existing or planned neighborhood park (the City recently purchased 19.68 acres of the eastern portion of the property for a neighborhood park) and within easy access to a community park, and in which a collector street affords the major access. This site addresses these locational policies. The dividing line between the proposed R-L-P and R-F zoned areas is the center -line of the re-routed Overland Trail. Following the foothills policies and City Council decisions on the Stuart Annexation and the Noel Annexation, Overland Trail can make a clear break between urban uses and urban residential densities to the east and low density residential development to the west.
