Background•
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
agree to consider for annexation, property in the UGA when the
property is eligible for annexation according to State law.
The property being considered for annexation has, for a period of
not less than three (3) years, been completely surrounded by
property contained within the boundaries of the City of Fort
Collins. Enclave areas become eligible for annexation when they
have been completely surrounded, by properties annexed into the
City, for at least three years. The area to be annexed has been a
county enclave for at least three years and is therefore eligible
for annexation. The property became completely surrounded by the
City of Fort Collins through the following annexation:

The property is currently used as a private rural residence.
Horses are allowable, as an accessory use in the RLP District. Any
farm animals such as goats, pigs, chickens, and cows would become
non -conforming uses. If active and continuous operations are not
carried on in a nonconforming use during a continuous period of one
year, the building, structure, or land where such non -conforming
uses previously existed would revert back to conforming uses only.
There are no redevelopment plans for this property at this time.
The property became eligible for involuntary annexation into the
City on October 6, 1990. On December 18, 1991, staff sent a letter
to the property owners informing them of the pending annexation,
potential zoning district designation, and the various meeting
dates for review by the Planning and Zoning Board and the Fort
Collins City Council.
Zoning•
The property is currently zoned FA, Farming, in the County. The
proposed zoning for this annexation is RLP, Low Density Planned
Residential. The RLP District designation is for areas of low
density residential development. The proposed zoning is compatible
with the existing uses and surrounding zoning and is consistent
with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
