#14-87, A - Jewett Annexation & Zoning
July 1987 - Page 2
COMMENTS:
The area is a county enclave. The following annexations to the City of
Fort Collins created the enclave:
N: Country Club North 2nd Annexation, January 1984
E: Country Club North 2nd Annexation, January 1984
S: Country Club North 2nd Annexation, January 1984
W: Country Club North 2nd Annexation, January 1984
The area has thus been eligible for involuntary annexation into the city
since January 1987. On June 30, 1987, staff sent a letter to the property
owner informing him of the pending annexation, potential zoning district
designation, and meeting date of review by the Planning and Zoning Board.
Staff has received no subsequent contact from the property owner.
Zoning
The requested zone for this annexation is the R-L-P, Low Density Planned
Residential, Zoning District. The R-L-P district designation is for areas
which are expected to develop predominantly with residential land uses.
Single-family residential subdivisions are "uses -by -right" in the R-L-P
zone. Any higher density residential uses and/or any non-residential land
uses can be proposed for development in the R-L-P zone as planned unit
developments and be evaluated according to the criteria of the LAND DEVEL-
OPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM. The surrounding property is also zoned R-L-P.
RECOMMENDATION:
Findings
1. The annexation of this area as a county enclave is consistent with the
policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins
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
county enclave eligible for involuntary annexation by the City of Fort Col-
lins.
3. The R-L-P zoning district is in conformance with the City's Comprehen-
sive Plan.
