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 area to be annexed meets the minimum 1/6 contiguity to existing
City limits requirement, through the following annexations (in
parentheses are the associated land uses):
N: Service Center Fourth Annexation (City Service Center),
E: Service Center Annexation (City Service Center, Light
and Power, Water and Wastewater Utility, and Streets
Department),
S: Capital Hill Annexation (existing single family homes)
W: Service Center Fourth Annexation (vacant, for future
expansion of the City Service Center).
The property is owned by the City of Fort Collins. The City
intends to use the property for a possible future expansion to the
existing City Service Center on Wood Street. The property has been
used in the past as a lumber yard. There is an existing structure
on the property at this time. No public rights -of -way are included
in this annexation.
This annexation is a 100% voluntary annexation of City owned land.
According to the Municipal Annexation Act, when the municipality is
the sole owner of the area that it desires to annex and if the
requested annexation meets the eligibility requirements, the
governing body may, by ordinance, annex the area without notice and
hearing. Therefore there will not be a public hearing before the
City Council for the annexation ordinance.
Zoning•
The property is currently zoned I- Industrial, in the County.
Staff is recommending the RC, River Corridor, Zoning District for
this annexation. The River Corridor designation is for properties
which are developing within the Downtown River Corridor of the
Cache La Poudre River. The RC, River Corridor District designation
is consistent with the zoning of surrounding properties and is in
conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
