Planning Department

Dear Property Owner,
In a letter dated February 24, 1989, I informed you that property you own and
located either within or adjacent to the Harmony Half Acres Subdivision, had
been included in an Annexation Petition called: The Harmony Half Acres
Annexation.
I also indicated that City staff was proposing that your property be placed
into the R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential, Zoning District. The R-L-P
zone is for areas planned as a unit to provide variation in use, density and
building placement. For review, the following uses are allowed within the
R-L-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;
(4) Essential public utility and public services installations and facilities
for the protection and welfare of the surrounding area, provided that
business offices and repair and storage facilities are not included;
(5) Churches;
(6) Group homes, subject to approval by special review;
(7) Accessory buildings and uses; and
(8) Any land use located on a Planned Unit Development plan as defined,
processed and approved according to the City's Planned Unit
Development Ordinance.
Several property owners have contacted me concerning the R-L-P zoning. It is
apparent that several property owners maintain horses and other livestock on
their properties and are concerned with the impact of annexation on their
ability to continue to maintain these animals. The City does not want
annexation to detract from the type of lifestyle that presently exists.
Therefore, staff is changing its zoning recommendation from R-L-P zoning to
R-E zoning where farm animals are allowed uses. The uses allowed in the R-E
zone are the same as those listed above for the R-L-P zone, with the exception
of (8) uses through the PUD process. The PUD process is not allowed in the
R-E zone.
I would like to remind you that the Harmony Half Acres Annexation will be
reviewed by the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board on March 27, 1989, at
the Board's regular monthly meeting scheduled to start at 6:30 PM in the
Council Chambers within City Hall West located at 300 LaPorte Avenue. The
Board will conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation on the
Annexation Petition to the Fort Collins City Council. The City Council will
consider official annexation of the property via ordinance on May 2, 1989.
