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 and the adjacent
property which comprises the concurrent Burlington Northern
Southeast First Annexation, have 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. 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
annexations:
N: Buckingham Place Annexation, July 28, 1906

Water Treatment Plant No. 1 Annexation, November 4, 1986.

of way)

undeveloped with the remaining quarter used for various businesses
and uses including: auto repair, contractor/construction offices
and headquarters, indoor skateboard arena, creamery, trucking
company headquarters, oil company office, and outdoor storage
property. There are ten separate land parcels and eight different
property owners in this annexation.
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 the property at this time.
The property becomes eligible for involuntary annexation into the
City on May 17, 1991. On April 22, 1991, staff sent a letter to
the property owners informing them of the pending annexation,
potential zoning district designation, and meeting date of review
