COMMENTS
Background:
The applicant, New Note Partnership, is requesting annexation of approximately
97 acres, located west of I-25 and north of Harmony Road. The property is
vacant and there are no immediate plans for development. This is a voluntary
annexation. .
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 property gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a
common boundary with the New Note Partnership First Annexation to the
south.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: I; (in Larimer County); vacant
S: I-L; (proposed Koldeway Annexation)
E: I, FA-1; (in Larimer County); vacant
W: FA-l; (in Larimer County); existing residences
The requested zoning for this annexation is the I-L, Limited Industrial District.
The I-L District designation is for light industrial uses. Staff is recommending
a condition that a unified PUD master plan be submitted and approved prior
to any development of the site. This would provide the opportunity for staff
and the Board to review an overall master plan for the site, yet would allow
development of specific phases of the site to occur via the administrative site
plan review process. Under this process, all uses must be shown on a site plan
submitted to and approved by the Director of Planning.
Given the property's location adjacent to I-25 and its close proximity to the
Harmony Road interchange, the eventual development of industrial and com-
mercial land uses is probable. According to the City's Land Use Policies Plan,
industrial and commercial uses should locate near transportation facilities that
offer adequate access without creating demands which exceed the capacity of
the existing transportation network, and in areas where adequate utilities can
be provided. This site addresses these locational policies. There are no
immediate development plans for the property.

Dear Board Members;

This letter is written on behalf of the applicant for the New
Note Partnership Annexation and Zoning requests, in order to
provide some clarification regarding the requested IL — Limited
Industrial zoning district.
The subject property poses a number of unique challenges,
represents an opportunity to fulfill a number of public and
private goals and objectives, and should be developed in a manner
consistent with the City-s adopted Land Use Policies Plan. The
proposed IL zone with a required Master Plan is seen as the best
method of addressing those considerations.
The applicant has three primary goals in the planning of this
property:
1. To work with and enhance the natural beauty of the site
through a sensitive development approach.
— The applicant has begun discussions with the City
regarding donation of the needed trail corridor along
the Poudre River, and facilitating a portion of the
trail connection between the future Fossil Creek Trail
and the Strauss Cabin and Poudre River Trail.
The applicant also desires to make improvements to the
ponds existing on the site and make them an integral
part of the project.
2. To know in advance if a specific use, designed to meet City
Standards, is or is not allowed on the subject property.
— Most of the developable portion of the site is currently
zoned C — Commercial (without conditions) in Larimer
County. Any of the zoning options discussed with the
City constitute a down —zoning, and the applicant feels
it is reasonable to retain a defined list of "uses by
right" with the addition of a Master Plan restriction
urban design, inc.
3. To be able to respond quickly to the needs of major employers
- or other users key to economic development in Fort
Collins - that may desire to locate on the subject property.
- Because of the varying site area and design needs of the
types of companies that locate in Industrial/Business
Parks, it is not possible to pre -plan sites in great
detail. Therefore the PUD process - if applicable -
cannot begin until a user has decided on a location.
The proposed zoning approach will allow major public
decisions regarding street patterns, utilities, general
site design standards, and the like to be determined at
the Master Plan phase, and allow the user, developer,
and City to proceed with confidence through a through
staff review without facing the delays and uncertainty
of the entire PUD process.
At this site, goal number 1 is much more difficult - if not
impossible - to achieve if goals 2 and 3 are denied by forcing
all uses through the lengthy PUD process.
There are a number of technical concerns and public concerns
related to the development of this property. We are completely
confident that the public concerns can be addressed through the
Planning and Zoning Board approval of a unified Master Plan; and
that the technical concerns can be addressed by the City Staff
through the subdivision and IL site plan review processes; given
the rigorous performance standards, landscape and setback
requirements, and land use restrictions of the IL District.
In summary, the proposed approach to the zoning of this
property gives the public the same "quality control" assurances
as under the Land Development Guidance System; gives the
applicant a higher degree of certainty regarding allowed uses;
and allows both the private and public sectors to become more
responsive to economic development opportunities. We therefore
respectfully request your approval of the zoning as recommended
by City Staff.
Sincerely,
Eldon Ward, President
Cityscape Urban Design, Inc.
