property owners, all within the Cameron Park Subdivision. These
parcels constitute the existing Cameron Business Park. There are
eight office buildings associated with the business park. Four
lots are vacant and one office building is vacant. All commercial
signs will have to conform to the city's Sign Code at the
conclusion of a five year amortization period. There are three
dedicated public rights -of -way included in this annexation. These
streets were dedicated to the County with the Cameron Park

The City would not maintain these streets until they are brought up
to City standards. The proposed zoning is BL, Limited Business.
This is the annexation of an enclave area.

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.
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 area became completely surrounded by the City of
Fort Collins through the following annexations:
N: Mill First Annexation, January 6, 1987
E: Fossil Creek 1st Annexation, June 5, 1984 and
Fossil Creek 3rd Annexation, April 2, 1985
S: Fossil Creek West 1st Annexation, November 15, 1988
W: Fossil Creek West 1st Annexation, November 15, 1988
The property became eligible for involuntary annexation into the
City on November 15, 1991. On December 16, 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.
There are ten parcels in this annexation. Existing uses include a
radio station, a business products office, an accounting business,
nursing and home care services offices, a Bethpage Mission office,
and Larimer County offices for Hospice and Crisis Information.
Four of the lots are vacant and one of the existing office
buildings is vacant. Any existing commercial signs will have to
conform to the City's Sign Code at the conclusion of a five year
amortization period. This annexation will not increase the total
number of off -premise signs that currently exist in the City of
Fort Collins. There are no redevelopment plans for these
properties at this time.
There are three dedicated public rights -of -way included in this
annexation proposal, namely Coronado Court, Cameron Drive, and a
Frontage Road along Highway 287. These streets were dedicated to
the County with the Cameron Park Subdivision, but were never
accepted by the County for maintenance. The City would not
maintain these streets until they are brought up to City standards.

Zoning•
The property is currently zoned B, Business, in the County. The
proposed zoning for this annexation is BL, Limited Business. The
surrounding properties are zoned BP, Planned Business with a PUD
condition; HB, Highway Business with a PUD condition; and BL,
Limited Business with a PUD condition. Allowable uses in the BL
Zone include banks, restaurants, offices, clinics, clubs, indoor
theaters, personal service shops, retail stores, limited indoor
recreation uses and churches. Any use in the B-L Zone requires a
landscape plan complying with section 29-526 be submitted and
approved by the City (See Attachment). The proposed zoning creates
the fewest non -conforming uses and is compatible with the
surrounding zoning.
Findings:
1. The annexation of this property is consistent with the
policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of
Fort Collins as 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 annexation by the City of Fort Collins.
3. On February 4, 1992, City Council considered a resolution
setting forth the intent to annex this property and
establishing the date of public hearing for the annexation and
zoning ordinances. Ordinances to annex and zone the property
will be considered by City Council on March 17, 1992.
4. The requested zoning of BL, Limited Business, is in
conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
ION:
Staff recommends approval of the annexation and requested zoning.
