MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT) - ANX180002 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 2 - STRUCTURE PLANITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 4 � May 1, Zo,B LOCKWOOD ARCHITECTS AWEIDA ANNEXATION 4101 S. Taft Hill Rd. Request for Structure Plan Map Amendment and Re-Zoning: The Applicant, Lockwood Architects, Inc., requests that the City Structure Plan be amended to include approximately 37,537 SF (0.862-acres) (Annexation Area) of land currently located in Larimer County, on the southwest corner of the Taft Hill Road and CR 38E/Harmony Road intersection. The ApplicanYs proposal also involves the rezoning of 19,980 SF (.45-acres) (Site Area) from the Urban Estate District (U-E) to the Low Density Mix-Use Neighborhood District (L-M-N). Reason for Request: � The Applicant would like to Annex and zone the property located on the southwest corner of Taft Hill Road and CR 38E/Harmony Road intersection for future development. Approximately 19,980 SF (.45- acre) of land is currently zoned U-E and is located on the fringe of City Limits and within the Growth Management Area for the City of Fort Collins. . The developable area of the original 19,980 SF (0.45-acre) site has been significantly reduced to approximately 0.295-acre due to changed conditions including, but not limited to, Intersection Improvements and additional ROW needed on both Taft Hill Road and CR 38E/Harmony Road, Utility Easement requirements, and Setback requirements. U-E zoning will no longer be relevant or appropriate for a 0.295-acre corner site. AVVFIDA F�NNFXATION_ 41Q1 S Taft Htll Roaci Fort Colhns.

Amendments initiated by City Council, City staff, boards and commissions, and annexations and initial zoning, may be processed at any time. Requests shall be submitted to the City's Advunce Planning DeparUnent at least 60 duys prior to the hearing date for the Planning and Zoning Board. The 60-day submittal reguirement is necessary in order to permit adequate public notice to be given and to allow adequate time to cornplete the backgrourrd work for considering a plan amendnaent. A plan an�endment will be approved if the City Council makes specific findings that.• • The existing City Plan and/or any related eJement thereof is in need of the proposed amendnzent, The Structure Plan Map needs to be amended in order to Annex and zone approximately 37,537 SF (0.862-acres) of land into City limits with an L-M-N zoning designation. The site is located on the fringe of City Limits within the Growth Management Area on the south/west corner of Taft Hill Road and CR 38E/Harmony Road intersection. i • The proposed amendment will promote the public welfare and will be consistent with the vision, goals, principles and policies of City Plan and the elements thereof. The proposed Structure Plan Map amendment will allow annexation and L-M-N zoning that will allow for � the future development of this site that is consistent with zoning trends in the area and is supported by City Plan Principles and Policies. The net acreage of the existing Urban Estate (U-E) site is 0.45-acres, while the minimum required lot sizes shall be no less than 0.5-acre to develop a single famity project that is consistent with City Policies and neighborhood compatibility. Furthermore, this intersection is in desperate need of improvements that would further decrease the developable acreage to 0.295-acre with additional ROW, Easement requirements, Dwelling Unit per acre and setback requirements rendering this site nearly undevelopable under U-E zoning intent. L-M-N zoning would not only allow for the much needed intersection and streetscape improvements, but would also allow future development of this location that is compatible with current development already underway at this intersection. Directly to the east of Taft Hill Road on the southeast corner of Taft Hill Road and CR 38E/Harmony Road with the development of an L-M-N District, Harmony Cottages, and the anticipated Neighborhood Commercial District (N-C) to the north. • AWEIDA ANNcXi•,TION. 4101 S Taft Hill Road Fort Collms Colorado REQUEST FOR STRUCTURE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT 8 RE-ZONWG Ll)('hw'OOI) .�R('I IIITiCI ti.

Criteria The City's Land Use Code outlines the process and the criteria that the decision-makers shall use in approving or denying zoning requests. Criteria are listed below in italic with a narrative following: (2) Mandatory Reyuirements for Quasi judicial Zonings or Rezonings. Any amendment to the Zoning Map involving the zoning or rezoning of six hu»dred forty (6�0� acres of land or less (a quasi judicial rezoning) shall be recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board or approved by the City Council only if the proposed anzendment is: (a) consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; and/or The proposed L-M-N zoning of 0.46-acres is consistent with the zoning of the adjacent L-M-N property to the east and is supported by many City Plan Principles and Policies. (b) warranted hy changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and including the subject properry. In addition to being consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, the proposed zoning is also warranted by changed conditions with current zoning trends in the neighborhood surrounding and including the � subject property. The following changes have occurred in the surrounding neighborhood that support L- M-N. The Master Street Plan alignment of streets in the area will require several thousand square feet of the subject property to be dedicated as right-of-way, leaving a very small parcel of U-E zoned land which would be difficult to develop as a large lot (estate) single-family development. Street alignments proposed on the Master Street Plan reduce the amount of existing U-E property rendering it difficult to developable and non-conforming in said zone. Compatible with the L-M-N zoned development, Harmony Cottages, adjacent to this property on the southeast corner of Taft Hill Road and CR 38E/Harmony Road that is supported by the City Plan and Land Use Code. �J (3) Additional Considerations for Quasi-Judicial Zonrngs or Rezonings. In determining whether to recom�nend approvul of any sUch proposed amendnTent, the Planning and Zoning Bourd and City Council may consider the following additional factors: (a) whether and the extent to which the proposed amerrdment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land a�zd is the appropriate aone districl for the land; The proposed L-M-N zoning will be consistent with the current L-M-N zoning to the east and compatible with the anticipated Neighborhood Commercial District (N-C) on the north/west corner. (b) whether and the extent to which the proposed anaendment would result in signifrcantly adverse inzpacts orr ihe natural errvironment, including but not lin�ited to water, air, noise, stormwater naanagement, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands artd the natura/ fi+nctioning of the environment; The proposed L-M-N zoning would not have adverse impacts on the natural environment. The site is small -- there are no wetlands nor any significant vegetation or wildlife.
