ATTACHMENT “D” TIMBER LARK RESIDENTIAL ANNEXATION NARRATIVE 4(g) A statement as to why it is necessary and desirable for the City of Fort Collins to annex the area. The property is located approximately 600 feet northwest of the Timberline Road and Trilby Road intersection. The property is adjacent to the Linden Park subdivision to the north, the Union Pacific Railway to the west, large estate lots to the south, and Timberline Road and another large estate lot to the east. The entire north and west boundaries of the property, as well as the portion of the east property boundary that is adjacent to Timberline Road, are contiguous with the boundaries of the City of Fort Collins. The owner of the property described in the Timber Lark Residential Annexation requests to be annexed into the City of Fort Collins in order to develop their property. The historical use of the property has been rural and undeveloped, but now that other recent developments have occurred in the vicinity, the owner recognizes that the development of this property, consistent with Low Density Residential is the best use of the land. The property is located within the City’s Growth Management Area (GMA) and therefore, is subject to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County. The IGA requires that before urban development of the property can occur it must be annexed into the City. The boundary of the GMA, together with the IGA, verifies that the City and County agree that the property should be annexed prior to development. The applicant agrees that this is both appropriate and desirable. 4(h) A description of the zoning classification being requested and any condition requested for that zone district classification. The Applicant is requesting a zone district classification of Low-Density Mixed Use (LMN), in accordance with the Structure Plan. There are no conditions requested at this time. 4(i) A statement of consistency of the requested zoning to the Structure Plan. The Structure Plan identifies the Timber Lark property as a Mixed Neighborhood place type. Characteristics of a Mixed Neighborhood includes a variety of housing types such as single-family detached homes, duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes with a density between five and 20 dwelling units per acre. The supported housing types and density proposed in the Structure Plan is indicative of a Low Density Mixed-Use (LMN) zoning designation, where the purpose statement suggests that the main purpose of the District is to meet a wide range of needs of everyday living in neighborhoods that include a variety of housing choices, that invite walking to gathering places, services and conveniences, and that are fully integrated into the larger community by the pattern of streets, blocks, and other linkages. The LMN district requires a minimum average density of three (3) dwelling units per net acre for properties over 20 acres and a maximum density of nine (9) dwelling units per gross acre, which is consistent with the requirements of the Structure Plan.
