approximately one and a half miles west of Overland Trail. The property is
the existing location of one of the City's water tanks.

along the Foothills and in other areas when contiguity requirements were
satisfied and became eligible for annexation. This property gains the
required 1/6 contiguity to existing City Limits from a common boundary with
the Maxwell Open Space Annexation directly to the south. City police
protection would extend to the property after annexation. The surrounding
zoning and existing land uses are as follows:
N: E-1, Estate County zoning (Noel property)
E: E-1, Estate County zoning (Noel property)
S: R-F, Foothills Residential Zoning (Open Space)
W: E-1, Estate County zoning (Noel property)
The requested zoning for this annexation is the R-F, Foothills Residential
District. The R-F District designation is for low density residential
areas located near the foothills. The property is currently used for one
of the City's water tanks and it is unlikely that the use of this property
will change anytime in the future. The current use is an allowable use in
the R-F District.
FINDINGS
1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and
agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins
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 a
voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins.
3. On July 3, 1990, the City Council approved a resolution determining
that the proposed annexation is in compliance with State law. The
resolution also initiated the annexation process for this property by
establishing the date, time and place when a public hearing will be
held regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the
area.
4. The requested R-F, Foothills Residential District is in conformance
with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
