Background:
and Zoning — #101-88, A
23, 1989
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: Horse tooth -Harmony West Annexation, June 1980
S: Seven Springs/Harmony Annexation, April 1986
E: Voc Tech/Smith Annexation, February 1986
W: Seven Springs/Harmony Annexation, April 1986
The most critical annexation in the creation of the county enclave was the
Seven Springs/Harmony Annexation which was annexed into the city on April
1, 1986.
This area thus will be eligible for involuntary annexation into the city on
April 1, 1989. On December 16, 1988, staff sent a letter to the property
owners informing them of the pending annexation, potential zoning district
designation, and meeting date of review by the Planning and Zoning Board. A
representative of Free Enterprises Inc., met with staff to discuss the uses
allowed and development potentials of the R-L-P zoning district. Staff has
received no subsequent contact from any of the property owners.
Zoninp,
The requested zoning for this annexation is the R-L-P, Low Density Planned
Residential Zoning District. The R-L-P District designation is for areas planned
as a unit to provide variation in use, density, and building placement. The
R-L-P zone would allow the development of detached single-family homes
through the subdivision process. Other higher density residential uses and/or
non-residential uses could also be proposed for development on the property
through the City's Planned Unit Development process. Such uses would be
evaluated under the criteria of the LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE
SYSTEM.
Findings
1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements
between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR THE FORT COLLINS
URBAN GROWTH AREA.
2. The area meets all criteria included in State law to qualify for annexation
by the City of Fort Collins.
