Planning Department
City of Fort Collins
December 16, 1991
Dear Property Owner,
In May of 1980, the governments of Larimer County and the City of
Fort Collins, Colorado, officially adopted a land use planning
document known as THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR THE FORT
COLLINS URBAN GROWTH AREA. The purpose of the urban growth area,
or UGA, was to delineate an area surrounding Fort Collins which was
deemed appropriate for the development of urban types of land uses
and residential densities and the provision of urban levels of
public services and facilities. One of the stated intents of the
urban growth area agreement was to have urban development occur
within the City so that the provision of urban level services by
the County would be minimized.
One of the key implementation agreements reached between the County
and the City deals with the annexation of property within the UGA.
Essentially, the City has agreed to consider for annexation, all
property within the urban growth area that meets State eligibility
requirements for annexation. This annexation agreement extends to
both voluntary annexations and the involuntary annexation of county
enclaves. County enclaves are areas which have been completely
surrounded by the City. The State of Colorado's annexation laws
allow a municipality to annex county enclaves which have been
completely surrounded for three or more years.
Jf. �
Property which you own, located on theVast'side of College Avenue
and south of Harmony Road, at Cameron Drive in Cameron Business
Park, is included within such a county enclave. (Please see
attached map for specific location of this annexation request).
City staff has prepared an annexation request as the first step in
the process of annexing your property. The annexation will be
called: The Cameron Park Annexation and Zoning.
City Staff has also proposed that your property, be placed in the
B-L, Limited Business, Zoning District. B-L zone is for areas for
neighborhood convenience centers and for areas of lower intensity
commercial uses, such as office parks. The following uses are
allowed within the B-L zone, provided that any use shall be
separated from abutting residential zoning districts by a solid
fence or wall at least 6 feet in height, and further provided that
any use shall comply with the landscape requirements set for in
section 29-304 of the Fort Collins Code for Zoning, Annexation, and
Development of Land:

Planning and Zoning Board on February 24, 1992, at the Board's
regular monthly meeting scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. in the
Council Chambers in City Hall West, located at 300 Laporte Avenue.
The Board will conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation
on the annexation request to the Fort Collins City Council.
The City Council will consider official annexation and zoning of
the property via resolution and intent to annex on February 4,
1992. The first reading of the annexation and zoning ordinance is
scheduled for March 3, 1992. The second reading and effective
date of the ordinance is scheduled for March 17, 1992.
County residents typically have many questions regarding the
annexation of their property. Enclosed is additional information
regarding annexations, titled ANNEXATION INFORMATION, which
discusses Colorado's Annexation Statutes, taxes, and services and
facilities.
If you have any questions concerning the proposed annexation of
your property, or if you would like to schedule a time to meet on
this matter, please feel free to contact me at 221-6750. I will do
my best to address all of your concerns.
