Harmony Road Fort Collins, CO 80526 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 DATE: March 21, 1989 -2- ITEM NUMBER: 24 a-b 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: Horsetooth-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. Representatives 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 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. On February 7, 1989, the City Council passed Resolution 89-20 setting forth the intent to annex this property. The Resolution also indicated that second readings of the ordinances annexing and zoning the property would be considered by the City Council on April 4, after the area is eligible for annexation. 4. The requested R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential Zoning District is in conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. • 0 0"'O UGA BOUNDARY 5 fij ITEM 9 NUMBER rip CITY LIMITSn HARMONY OUT JI HARMONY - TAFF HILL Annexation 101-88f A & Zoning
