BACKGROUND: The applicant and owner, the State Board of Agriculture, has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of approximately 13.1861 acres located north of East Drake Road (extended) and east of the Poudre River. The requested zoning is the T Transition District. The property is presently undeveloped and is part of a natural open space 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 Flatiron East Prospect Road First Annexation to the west. The requested zoning for this annexation is the T Transition District. The T District designation is for properties in transition from a rural to an urban use. The property is presently undeveloped and is part of a natural open space area, a use which will probably not change in the near future. As with other state-owned properties recently annexed into the City of Fort Collins, the State Board of Agriculture has requested the following be added as conditions of the annexation: "Petitioner specifies as a condition of the proposed annexation that the proposed annexation in no sense shall be interpreted as: 1.

Conveying any right to establish new streets or extend existing streets upon or across said property; or to construct utility lines of any kind upon or across said property; 3. Granting any right to apply the provision of any municipal ordinance, and specifically any building code, zoning code, or licensing ordinance, upon the above described property so long as title thereof shall remain in the State Board of Agriculture and the property continues to be used for educational, research, extension and related support services. Provided, however, that the jurisdiction of the City of Fort Collins shall extend over the property annexed in so far as it relates to the application of: a. City traffic ordinances; b. City ordinances relating to police enforcement of the traffic code, City ordinances relating to offenses against the person, offenses against public peace, offenses relating to morals, offenses relating to public health, and safety; 4. The jurisdiction of the Municipal court is extended to include violations of ordinances included in the foregoing items 1 and 2 of this paragraph occurring on the lands so annexed; providing, however, that nothing contained in the annexation ordinances shall be construed to limit the authority of the University officials, to exercise the authority provided in C.R.S. 23-5-106 and C.R.S. 23-5-101." - I DATE: April 19, 1988 T -3- EM NUMBER: 27 a-c Findings 1.
