the required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits from a common boundary with
the Riverbend Second Annexation to the north; the Milne Annexation to the east;
and the East Prospect Street First and the Suitts First Annexations to the west. I
The surrounding zoning and existing land uses are as follows:
N: RC; vacant
S: FA ; agricultural (in Larimer County)
E: RC; Riverbend Ponds (City open space)
W: ip; Orthopedic Center (Seven Lakes PUD)
The requested zoning for this annexation is the R-C, River Corridor District.
The R-C District designation is for areas developing within the downtown river
corridor of the Cache La Poudre River. This is the proposed site for the new
Advanced Energy office and manufacturing facility, which is considered a light
industrial use.
The following policies from the City's LAND USE POLICIES PLAN apply to industrial
uses:
59. Industrial uses may locate in less hazardous flood plain classifications
provided proper mitigation of the flood hazard and water quality is
preserved and the floodplain is protected consistent with the City's Open
Space Plan and the entire project is approved by the City.
60. Industrial uses should locate near transportation facilities that offer
the required access to the industry but will not be allowed to create
demands which exceed the capacity of the existing and future
transportation network of the City.
61. Industrial development should locate within the City or consistent with
the phasing plan for the Urban Growth Area, where the proper sizing of
facilities such as water, sewer and transportation has occurred or is
planned.
This site addresses these industrial land use locational policies. Site design
and development of the site must be done with consideration of the floodplains
of Spring Creek and the Cache La Poudre River. Prospect Road is an arterial
street, providing direct access to I-25 and utilities are available to serve the
site.
The River Corridor District permits light industrial uses as a use -by -right,
subject to administrative review by the Director of Planning. Review of light
industrial uses in this zone requires that the performance standards of the IL/IP
Zones be met and that landscaping meet the requirements of the LOGS.
Findings
The annexation of this area 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
voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins.
3. On April 7, 1992, the City Council approved a resolution which accepts the
annexation petition and determines that the petition is in compliance with
State law. The resolution also initiates the annexation process for this
