The requested zoning is the RC River Corridor District. The property is presently developed as part of the City's Resource Recovery Farm. This is a voluntary annexation. 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 requested zoning for this annexation is the RC River Corridor District. The RC District designation is for areas developing within the corridor of the Cache La Poudre River. The RC district places strong emphasis on the devel- opment of area/neighborhood plans. Staff is presently working with the property owners along East prospect Road to develop an entry -way land use and urban design plan for the area. This plan will identify appropriate uses and urban design considerations as guidelines for the area as it develops. 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 INTER- GOVERNMENTAL 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 April 19, 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 prop- erty will be considered by the City Council on June 7, 1988. 4. The requested RC River Corridor District is in conformance with the poli- cies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
