F3ox 580 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 • (303) 221.6750 SEHVICES, PLANNING DEPARTMENT Harmony Annexation No. 6 — Annex. and Zoning — #12-89, A P & Z Meeting — March 27, 1989 Page 2 Background: 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 area to be annexed is a county enclave. The following annexations to the City of Fort Collins created the enclave: N: Harmony Annexation No. 2, September 6, 1977 E: Harmony Annexation No. 2, September 6, 1977 South Harmony Annexation, February 4, 1986 S: South Harmony Annexation, February 4, 1986 W: Keenland Annexation, August 19, 1980 Harmony Annexation No. 2, September 6, 1977 This area has thus been eligible for involuntary annexation into the city since February 4, 1989. On February 24, 1989, staff sent a letter to the property owners informing them of the pending annexation, potential zoning district designation for their property, and meeting date of review by the Planning and Zoning Board. On March 10, 1989, staff sent another to the D. L. & G. Partnership informing them the I-L Zoning for their property would contain a PUD condition. Staff has discussed the annexation proposal with representatives of the Franz property. Staff has received no subsequent contact from the D. L. & G. Partnership. Zoning. The requested zonings for this annexation are: (1) 6.33 acres (D. L. & G. property) of I-L, Limited Industrial District with a PUD condition; and (2) 74.47 acres (Franz property) of T-Transition District. The I-L District designation is for light industrial uses. The portion of the property to be zoned I-L is currently developed as warehouse. Warehouses are a listed use -by -right in the I-L Zone. However, warehouses are only allowed in the I-L Zone if a site plan for the use was approved by the City's Director of Planning. Since the existing warehouse was constructed in the County, it will be a legal non -conforming use when annexed into the city. The warehouse could be enlarged through the "change to a non -conforming use" process which requires a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Board. A PUD could also be proposed for changes of use or building enlargements. The T-Transition District is for properties which are in a transitional stage as to ultimate development. There are no known development plans for the Franz property. Findings 1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements No Text ITEM HARMONY SIXTH ANNEXATION AND ZONING NUMBER 12-89,A Devellenent Services • Planning Department A Citv of Fort Collins March 10, 1989 D. L. & G. Partnership 1409 Longs Peak Fort Collins, CO 80521 Dear D. L. & G. Partnership, On February 24, 1989, I sent a letter to you indicating that property which you own, and located south of Harmony Road and west of Timberline Road, was being included in an enclave annexation to the City of Fort Collins, called the Harmony Annexation No. 6. In my letter of February 24, I also indicated that City staff would be recommending your property be placed into the I-L, limited Industrial, Zoning District, and listed the uses which are allowed in the I-L Zone. I also stated that although the predominant use of your property is a warehouse, and a warehouse is an allowed use in the I-L Zone, the use will be classified as a non -conforming use since it was developed under County Zoning Regulations and not approved through a site plan review conducted by the City's Director of Planning as required for that type of use by the I-L Zone. I also indicated that changes of use can be approved through the City's "change to a non -conforming use" process which requires a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Board; or changes of use can be approved by submitting a site plan and having that site plan approved by the Director of Planning. Recent decisions concerning I-L zonings by the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board on properties along Harmony Road have indicated that the Board is not willing to place such properties into the I-L Zone without a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning condition. A PUD zoning condition requires all new development to be reviewed under the City's PUD ordinance, known as the Land development Guidance System. A PUD condition does not change the non -conforming status of the existing building. Changes can still be approved through the "change to a non -conforming use" process which requires a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Board. Because of the Board's recent decisions concerning I-L zonings along Harmony Road, City staff is changing its zoning recommendation on your property to include a PUD condition. The Harmony Annexation No. 6 will be reviewed by the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board on March 27, 1989. The meeting will be held in the City Council Chambers located in City Hall West at 300 LaPorte Avenue starting at 6:30 PM. The Board will conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation on the annexation to the Fort Collins City Coun- cil. The City Council will consider official annexation of the property via ordinance on May 2, 1989. 300 LaPorte Avenue • P.O. Box 580 - Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 - (303) 221-6750 0 • If you have any questions concerning the proposed annexation of your prop- erty, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to address all of your concerns. Sincerely, C rL I,�_-C4 �I Kenneth G.
