RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the annexation and zoning request. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A. Resolution 88-37 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings for the Union Pacific South Third No. 1 Annexation. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 34, 1988, Annexing Approximately 3.3655 Acres, Known as the Union Pacific South Third No. 1 Annexation. C. First Reading of Ordinance No. 35, 1988, Zoning Approximately 3.3655 Acres, Known as the Union Pacific South Third No. 1 Annexation, into the I-L Limited Industrial District. This is a request to annex and zone approximately 3.3655 acres located north of Harmony Road and west of Timberline Road. The requested zoning is the I-L Limited Industrial District. The property is presently developed with a warehouse. APPLICANT: Union Pacific Railroad OWNER: Same 1416 Dodge Street Omaha, NE DATE: March 15, 1988 ' I -2- - I ITEM NUMBER• 12 a-c BACKGROUND: The applicant and owner, the Union Pacific Railroad, has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of approximately 11.6856 total acres located north of Harmony Road and west of Timberline Road. Due to contiguity problems, the area to be annexed had to be divided into two separate annexations, the Union Pacific South Third No. 1 Annexation, containing 3.3655 acres and the Union Pacific South Third No. 2 Annexation, containing 8.3201 acres. The requested zoning is the I-L Limited Industrial District. The property is presently developed with a warehouse. This is a voluntary annexation. The Union Pacific Railroad is in the process of annexing several pieces of property, most consisting of railroad rights -of -way. Staff has been expecting petitions for the Union Pacific South First, the Union Pacific South Second, the Union Pacific South Third, and the Union Pacific South Fourth Annexations for several months. Due to the timing of the need to expand the existing warehouse on this property, the annexations called the Union Pacific South Third No. 1 and the Union Pacific South Third No. 2 are actually the first annexations to be processed. 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 property gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a common boundary with the Harmony Annexation to the south. The requested zoning for this annexation is the I-L Limited Industrial District. The I-L District designation is for light industrial uses, including the manufacture of electronic instruments, preparation of food products, pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and scientific laboratories and the like. Light industrial uses do not include mining and extracting industries, petrochemical industries, rubber refining, primary metal and related industries. All proposed light industrial uses must be shown on a site plan submitted to and approved by the Director of Planning. Warehouses and enclosed storage facilities are "uses -by -right" in the I-L District. The property is presently developed as a warehouse, which is expected to expand in the very near future. According to the City's LAND USE POLICIES PLAN, industrial uses should locate near transportation facilities that offer the required access to the industry but will not create demands which exceed the capacity of the existing and future transportation network of the city, and where the proper sizing of facilities, such as water, sewer, and transportation has occurred or is planned. This site addresses these locational policies. Adequate utilities exist in the area of this annexation, and both Harmony Road and Timberline Road are expected to be major 6-lane arterial streets in the future. Findings The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins DATE: March 15, 1988 I -3- I ITEM NUMBER: 12 a-c 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. The attached 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 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 April 19, 1988. 4. The requested IA Limited Industrial District is in conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation The Planning and Zoning Board will review the Union Pacific Railroad South Third No. 1 Annexation at its regular monthly meeting on March 28, 1988. The Board will forward a recommendation and any comments to the City Council prior to the public hearing and second reading of the Ordinances on April 19, 1988.
