Such open lands include areas for passive or limited recreation for non -athletic purposes, agricultural land, and natural areas. PRINCIPLE GM-2: The City will consider the annexation of new territory into the City limits when the annexation of such property conforms to the vision, goals, and policies of City Plan.

The property must meet all statutory requirements for annexation according to the laws of the State of Colorado. • Property to be annexed located within the Community Growth Management Area.

The area meets all criteria included in Colorado Revised Statutes to qualify for a voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins. 3. The requested Public Open Lands District (POL) is in conformance with the policies of City Plan and is consistent with the Structure Plan. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Board forward a recommendation to the City Council to approve the Pineridge 5th Annexation with a zoning designation of POL. Pineridge 5th Annexation & Zoning, # 41-98B October 18, 2001 P & Z Meeting Page 2 - The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County — County Road 42C, regional detention pond, rodeo grounds, Hughes Stadium, S: POL - existing Pineridge Natural Area, E: FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County — existing drive-in movie theater, MMN — existing multifamily housing, W: FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County — County Road 42C, Dixon Reservoir, Horsetooth Reservoir. 2. Zoning and Analysis: This property is eligible for annexation according to CRS, requiring 1/6 contiguity to the existing city limits. The Pineridge Natural Area Fifth Annexation and Zoning complies with this standard since the property has 1229.5 feet of its total boundary of approximately 3531 feet contiguous to the existing City limits. This meets the minimum 588 feet required to achieve 1/6 contiguity. This contiguity occurs through a common boundary with the Pineridge Natural Area Third Annexation (January 1999). The property is currently zoned FA1-Farming District in Larimer County. The requested zoning for this annexation is the Public Open Lands District (POL). The City's adopted Structure Plan, a part of City Plan, designates the site Campus District. Colorado State University does not own any of the land south of County Road 42C (but they do on the north), so it appears that Campus District was inadvertently assigned to the property. The Structure Plan designations provide some leeway in designating corresponding zoning districts on a site specific basis. A zoning designation of POL is therefore consistent with the Structure Plan designation. 3. City Council Hearings: City Council hearings on this proposed annexation and zoning will be held on the following dates: Initiating Resolution First Reading Second Reading October 2, 2001 November 6, 2001 November 20, 2001 FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSION: 1. The annexation of this area 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. ITEM NO. 3 MEETING DATE 10/18/01 STAFF Trov Junes Citv of Fort Collins PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD STAFF REPORT PROJECT: Pineridge 5th Annexation and Zoning, #41-98B APPLICANT: City of Fort Collins OWNERS: City of Fort Collins PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Annexation and zoning of approximately 4.76 acres of publicly owned property located south of County Road 42C and west of South Overland Trail. The recommended zoning is Public Open Lands (POL), and it is adjacent to a larger piece of Public Open Lands. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the annexation and recommends that the property be placed in the Public Open Lands District (POL). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This is an annexation and zoning of approximately 4.76 acres in size, located south of County Road 42C and west of South Overland Trail. The property is undeveloped and is in the FA-1 Farming District in Larimer County. The recommended zoning is Public Open Lands (POL). This is a 100% voluntary annexation. COMMENTS: 1. Background: When the Urban Growth Area boundary was originally established in this location, it was intended to follow the alignment of County Road 42C so that all land just south of County Road 42C and just west of Overland Trail were designated to be within the Urban Growth Area (UGA). The UGA boundary, however, was inadvertently placed in such a manner that a small triangular piece of ground immediately southwest of the intersection of Overland Trail and County Road 42C was placed outside the UGA, therefore, this property is located just outside the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area (UGA). 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 (Last Amended November 2000), the City may annex property outside the UGA, provided the property is eligible for annexation according to Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS).
