Partnership 1409 Longs Peak Fort Collins, CO 80521 Pauline L. Franz Colorado Nat'l Bank of Denver P.O. Box 5168 Denver, CO 80217 DATE: May 2, 1989 -2- ITEM NUMBER: 9 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 :he 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 I.
