COMMENTS:
1. Background:
•
The Link `n Greens 4th property is approximately 2 acres of the Cache La Poudre River
and adjacent bike trail, between Riverside and Lemay Avenue. It is located within the
Fort Collins Urban Growth Area (UGA). 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
agree to consider for annexation property in the UGA when the property is eligible for
annexation according to State law.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: C-C-R; Link 'n Greens Golf Course
E: C-C-R; Link `n Greens Golf Course
S: R-C; sewage treatment plant
W: P-O-L; vacant
Enclave areas become eligible for annexation when they have been completely
surrounded, for at least three years, by properties that are within the City limits. The
area to be annexed has been an enclave for at least three years and is therefore,
eligible for annexation. The area became completely surrounded through the following
annexations:
N: Link 'n Greens Annexation - October 30, 1987
S: East Lincoln Avenue 2nd Annexation - July 26, 1991
E: Lincoln `n Greens 2nd Annexation - April 15, 1988
W:East Lincoln Avenue 2nd Annexation - July 26, 1991
This area became eligible for involuntary annexation into the City on July 26, 1994. It
was left out of the previous Link `n Greens annexations. This two-acre area is a stretch
of the Cache La Poudre River, south of the Link 'n Greens Golf Course. Annexation of
this enclave is for housekeeping purposes - when surrounding area were annexed, the
plat boundaries did not match resulting in this enclave.

The proposed zoning for this annexation is the C-C-R, Community Commercial -
Poudre River District. The C-C-R District is for downtown fringe areas in the Cache La
Poudre River corridor. The surrounding area is zoned C-C-R, R-C and P-O-L. The
