APPLICANT: State Board of Agriculture OWNER: Same Room 202 Administration Building Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 0 DATE: October 6, 1987 BACKGROUND: �� ITEM NUMBER: 10 a-c The applicant and owner, the State Board of Agriculture, has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of approximately 63.26 acres located north of East Drake Road (extended) and east of the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant No. 2. The requested zoning is the T-Transition Zoning District. The property is presently used as a nature center and wildlife habitat area. 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 property will gain the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a common boundary with the Northern Colorado Nature Center First Annexation to the north, when the City Council approves that annexation. The requested zoning for this annexation is the T-Transition Zoning District. The T district designation is for areas in a transitional stage with regard to ultimate development. The property is presently used as a nature center and wildlife habitat area, a use which will probably not change in the near future. The applicant's Annexation Petition specifies several conditions in regards to the annexation, indicating that the annexation in no sense shall be interpreted as: 1. Conveying to said City any right, title, or interest in the property so annexed; 2. 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 provisions 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 the 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 a and b of Paragraph 3 occurring of the lands so annexed; providing, however, that DATE: October 6, 1987 � -3- I�M NUMBER: 10 a-c nothing contained in the annexing ordinances shall be construed to limit the authority of the University officials, to exercise the authority provided in Sections 23-5-106 and 23-5-107, C.R.S.
