Box 580 • Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 • (303) 221.6750 SERVICES, PLANNING DEPARTMENT Orchard Annex. and Zoning - #93-88,A P & Z Meeting - December 19, 1988 Page 2- COMMENTS Background: The applicant, Gary Nordick, on behalf of the owner, Clarendon Hills Associa- tion, has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of approximately 6.08 acres located south of Harmony Road and east of Shields Street adjacent to the existing Clarendon Hills development. 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 INTERGOV- ERNMENTAL 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 Voc Tech/Smith Annexation to the north and west. The R-L-P Low Density Planned Residential District designation is for areas planned as a unit to provide variation in use, density and building placement. The proposed master plan for Clarendon Hills indicates the property will be used for single family detached residences. According to the City's LAND USE POLICIES PLAN, low density residential uses should locate in areas which have easy access to existing or planned neighborhood and regional/community shopping centers; in areas which have easy access to major employment centers; within walking distance of an elementary school; within walking distance of an existing or proposed neighborhood park; and where a collector street affords the primary access. This site addresses these locational criteria. 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 a voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins. 3. On December 6, 1988, the City Council approved a resolution which accepts the annexation petition and determines that the petition is in compliance with State law. The resolution also initiates the annexation process for this property by establishing the date, time and place when a public hearing will be held regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area. Public hearing and second reading of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the property will be considered by the City Council on January 17, 1988. 4. The requested R-L-P Low Density Planned Residential district is in confor- mance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
