II. BACKGROUND
The present land use designation of the Foothills area west of Fort
Collins was established in July, 1982, and was based on the Foothills
Study prepared by the Larimer County Planning Department. The Plan
Amendment changed the designation from "rural" to "rural non -farm" for
private lands which were not in hazard areas in the central and southern
part of the study area. The northern part of the study area remained
"rural", primarily due to existing development patterns and lack of public
sewer service. An area north of County Road 38E and south of Horsetooth
Road extended was designated as having "urban growth area potential"
primarily because the Fort Collins Master Street Plan at that time showed
the property to be within the Overland Trail/Harmony Road major arterial
loop. The road system was thought to be a logical future boundary line
for the Urban Growth Area.
In the spring of 1985, Fort Collins and Larimer County planning staffs
began a study of the Foothills Area to determine if the area should be
included in the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area boundary. The study was
initiated in response to questions raised by the County Commissioners
during consideration of a subdivision proposal in the area. The
subdivision, which is located on the west side of Overland Trail, appeared
to be a logical extension of the Growth Area boundary, and to meet the
criteria for inclusion in the Growth Area.

A combined staff report, titled "Fort Collins Foothills Area Urban Growth
Area Boundary Amendment" was completed in June, 1985. The staff report
covers an area between the existing Fort Collins UGA boundary and
Horsetooth Reservoir, from Michaud Lane (County Road 50) south to Harmony
Rd. extended, and concludes that the private land below 5200' elevation is
suited for urban level development. The report recommends amending the
UGA to include private land fully or partly outside the natural hazard
boundary identified initially in the County's "Foothills Study".
The report found that conditions in the area have changed since the UGA
boundary was established. Public water and sewer are now potentially
available to the entire area below 5200' (including the north area) at a
low urban residential density. In addition, the report found that
overland Trail provides a justification for inclusion of the area west of
it into the UGA. Expansion of the road to a 6-lane arterial has been
planned for many years and higher residential densities along it provide
for more efficient development and utilization of the facility.
Public information meetings were held July 8, 1985 and October 30, 1985 to
present the report findings to area residents and property owners. on
July 24, 1985, the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board recommended
approval of the boundary change. on November 5, 1985, the Fort Collins
City Council denied the boundary change. The Council felt the Land Use
Guidance System did not provide for absolute limits to residential density
to ensure development of the area would be compatible with the
environmental surroundings as recommended in the Foothills Study. Public
testimony at City and County meetings and hearings emphasized the desire
to maintain high environmental quality and asthetics for the area. Leer
densities were often suggested as a means of accomplishing these
objectives.
City staff responded by proposing new City zone designations to accomplish
the goals of the Foothills Area plan if and when the area would be annexed
to Fort Collins. A new City Rural Street Standard was also developed. A
public meeting was held May 12, 1986, to explain the new staff work to
area residents.
The Fort Collins City Council recommended amendment of the UGA boundary
change and textual changes to the Intergovernmental Agreement concerning
the Foothills area on August 19, 1986. (See attached). City ordinances
were also amended to establish a Foothills Residential Zoning District,
amend the Estate Residential Zoning District and establish City Rural
Street Standards. The purpose of the changes is to offer protection to
existing subdivisions to maintain their current rural lifestyle upon
annexation and to offer an incentive to annexation prior to development of
property in the area.
III. ANALYSIS:
The proposed changes to the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Foothills
area incorporate the densities and development policies currently assigned
to the Foothills area in the Larimer County Land Use Plan. These

development guidelines were first established in the Foothills Study,
prepared in 1982. The TJGA boundary change with the proposed changes in
the Intergovernmental Aqreement would result in the retention of the
current large lot residential character of the Foothills area now
designated "Rural Non -Farm".
The northern portion of the Foothills area is currently designated "Rural"
in the Land Use Plan. The 1982 Foothills Study did not recorrmend high
density because at that time sewer service was not generally available to
the area. The 1985 combined staff report "Fort Collins Foothills Area
Ubran Growth Area Boundary Amendment" found no sewer utility constraints
to the area due to the extension of a City sewer main along the Colorado &
Southern RR right-of-way. The development characteristics of this area
are now the same as the remainder of the Foothills area and are
recormended for inclusion in the Urban Growth Area.
The property currently shown as "urban growth area potential" in the Land
Use Plan now also appears the same in development characteristics as
adjacent property. The location of the planned Overland Trail/Harmony Rd.
arterial loop has not been exactly determined, but City engineers have
indicated that it will likely run much farther east than the previous
Master Street Plan showed, due to the terrain of the property in
question. There appears to be no basis for a differentiation of this
property in the new Urban Growth Area boundary proposal.
Within the proposed UGA boundary change area, use will be limited to
detached single-family dwellings at a density of 1 unit/5 acres or in a
PUD, 1 unit/2.29 acres.
The primary criterion for amendment of the Urban Growth Area Boundary
stated in the Intergovernmental Agreement is consistency with City and
County Comprehensive Plans. The proposed Foothills amendment incorporates
densities and development policies of the Foothills Study and the current
Rural Non -Farm designation, and is therefore consistent with the Larimer
County Land Use Plan for the area.
IV. STAFF FINDINGS:
1. The Fort Collins Foothills area is currently designated Rural Non -
Farm and Rural in the Lariiner County Land Use Plan.
2. Proposed amendments to the Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreement
concerning the Foothills area incorporate densities and development
policies for the area currently contained in the Larimer County Land
Use Plan.
3. The proposed Urban Growth Area boundary change is consistent with the
Larimer County Comprehensive Plan for that area.
4. The Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board and City Council recce mend
approval.
