Staff has received no subsequent contact from any of the other property owners. Zoning: 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: I. 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. 3.
