E Fort Collins .lam Attachment 4 What if I'm a legal existing use in Larimer County but not in the City of Fort Collins? Legal existing uses are grandfathered-in however if the nonconforming use is discontinued for 12 consecutive months the nonconforming use is then considered "abandoned" and will not be able to continue. To find more information on nonconforming uses and structures visit Division 1.5 in the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. https://www.municode.com/library/co/fort coil ins/codes/land use What if my property is on septic? How will being part of the City of Fort Collins impact me? The City of Fort Collins does not regulate or enforce regulations on septic systems. Septic Systems are solely regulated by Larimer County Department of Health and Environment. For Septic Systems please contact the Larimer County Health Department by phone at (970) 498-6700 or visit http://www.co.larimer.co.us/health/ehs/isds.asp. Will my water or wastewater services change as a result of the annexation? No. The City of Fort Collins does not take over any other utility service except electric. Annexed properties will continue to be served by Fort Collins Loveland Water District and South Fort Collins Sanitation District (if not currently on septic). For Water and Sewer, please contact the Fort Collins Loveland Water District and the South Fort Collins Sanitation District both of which can be contacted by phone at (970) 226-3104 or visit http://www.fclwd.com/contact. E. City of r-�prtCollins Attachment 4 11' Will the school boundaries change and if so who is responsible for that change? The City of Fort Collins is not involved in determining school boundaries. This is the sole responsibility of the Poudre School District. According to the Poudre School District's Long Range Planning: Boundary Committee they often recommend "clean-up" of boundaries that have little to no student impact and include modifications like adjusting boundary lines such that they do no bisect fields or lots, adjusting boundary lines to follow the mid -line of roads as opposed to bisecting properties, etc. Ultimately the responsibility of changing school district lines start as a recommendation from the Boundary Committee then is approved by the Superintendent and Colorado Board of Education. In the Poudre School District's 2015 Majority and Minority Reports it shows proposed changes to the Kruse Elementary School / Werner Elementary School - Middle School and High School Boundary that will impact 0 students. What are some of the upsides of being annexed into the City of Fort Collins? • Faster police response time • Voting for a Mayor and Council Member (District 3) • Less Expensive Electric Rates • Urban level services • Neighborhood Services(,http.//www.fcgov.com/neighborhoodservicesl) • Rebates through energy audit programs (i.e., Solar Installation Incentives) Though these are just a few advantages of being part of the City it is not an exhaustive list. Please visit our website at http://www. fcgov. com/ to find out more. How many horses per acre are you allowed to have in the City as compared to the County? Municipal Code Section 4-72. - Minimum size of pasture area for horses or ponies. Horses or ponies may be kept for the use of occupants of a lot and their guests provided that at least one-half ('/z) acre of pasture area is available for each horse or pony. Horses per Acre Acre / Horse Acre / Horse 3 If the number of horses on the property exceeds one horse per one-half acre, minor special review approval is required unless the chart and formula indicate that special review approval is required. 7 Fort Collins /s a wood burning stove permitted inside the City of Fort Collins? Attachment 4 City Code for Wood Burning Only wood burning units certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may be installed in Fort Collins. Only clean, dry, untreated wood may be burned in a wood stove or fireplace. "Pellets" burned in pellet stoves and manufactured fire logs such as DuraFlame burned in a fireplace are acceptable. Burning of garbage and treated wood is prohibited. After the first 15-minutes of start-up, smoke from the chimney must be at or less than 20% opacity (smoke should be barely visible looking at it with your back to the sun). Violation of City Code can result in a summons to appear in municipal court resulting in a fine of up to $1,000 and 180 days in jail. Will the tax on our phone bill change? According to the Colorado Department of Revenue the only taxes that will exist on mobile service will be E911 1.4% surcharge and a 9.44% Colorado State Wireless Tax. What is the difference between City sales tax and County sales tax?

According the Assessor's office: The County Assessor is responsible for valuing all real and personal property, including mobile homes, residential and commercial properties and agricultural land for property tax purposes. The Assessor determines the equitable value of property to ensure that each taxpayer pays only his or her fair share of the taxes. Anyone who disagrees with changes in the actual value of real property can object or file a protest with the Assessor in May. Protests for Commercial Business Personal Property accounts should be filed with the Assessor between June 15 and July 5. 2015/2016 Reappraisal Cycle Colorado property tax law requires assessors to conduct countywide reappraisals every two years in odd -numbered years, and that a specific date, June 30th of the year preceding the reappraisal year, be used to benchmark all property values throughout the state. The benchmark, or "level of value", for this reappraisal cycle is June 30, 2014. For the 2015/2016 reappraisal cycle Larimer County is using 60 months of data. That means our sales study period extends from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2014. All sales are trended up or down to the level of value date, June 30, 2014, depending on market factors in the different areas of Larimer County. For 2016, only owners that saw a change in value or ownership from the previous year were mailed a notice with the new value and have the option to protest online. The majority of property values do not change in even numbered years because Colorado is on a two year reappraisal cycle. If you do not have the Notice of Value you may complete and mail a 2015 Protest Form to our office no later than June 1, 2016. Protests can also be filed in person, by letter or fax. We cannot accept appeals sent in by email or taken over the phone. Properties that are appealed during our protest period will be reviewed and a Notice of Determination will be sent to those property owners on June 30, 2016. If you are satisfied with the value after this review, the process ends and your tax will be based on the value reflected in the notice of determination. If you disagree with the Assessor's decision, the next step will be to file an appeal with the County Board of Equalization. More details will be provided in the Notice of Determination that will be sent June 30, 2016. 5 Fort Collins Attachment 4 Rate Factor - based on the percentage of impervious area (surfaces that do not absorb water) such as buildings, parking lots and concrete Formula for Estimated Monthly Rates: Single-family Lots Under 12,000 Square Feet Monthly Rate = Lot Size x $0.0041454 x Rate Factor Single-family Lots Over 12,000 Square Feet* Monthly Rate = 12,000 x $0.0043527 x Rate Factor plus (Lot Size - 12,000) x $0.0043527 x Rate Factor x 0.25 *These lots receive a reduction in fees on that portion of the lot greater than 12,000 feet.

KI Fort Collins Background: Attachment 4 In 1988, the various REA's in Colorado had a state statute approved by the legislature requiring municipal electric utilities to pay what is called a "service rights fee" to the local REA when provision of electric service is changed. This statute requires municipal electric utilities that transfer electric service after an annexation to pay the local REA 25% of all revenue from existing customers (5% for new customers) starting on the date of electric transfer for a period of 10 years. The REA perspective is this pays for their lost revenue. The municipal utility perspective is it is an attempt to discourage transferring electric customers to the municipal utility. Some municipal utilities in Colorado choose to absorb the service rights fee. Fort Collins Light & Power, at the direction of City Council, passes this expense on to the transferred customers. Fort Collins Light & Power also purchases the REA infrastructure in addition to the service rights fee. This infrastructure purchase cost is not passed on to the annexed customers. What other fees or taxes should I know about? tormwater Fee: Fort Collins Utilities charges a monthly rate to pay for construction and maintenance of Fort Collins' stormwater system, which helps protect residents and businesses during storms and floods on a city-wide basis. All developed properties within city limits pay stormwater rates, which are based on: Example: Lott 2224 Kechter Road 100,188(2.3 5443 $37 Acres) Lot 2 2220 Kechter Road 107,158 (2.46 4421 $38 Acres) Formula: Lot Size - lot area in square feet, plus the customer's share of open space in th<, development, if applicable Base Rate - $0.00 1 This is an estimated fee based on 2017 rates. A stormwater fee specialist will be able to calculate the exact fees. 3 Fort Collins f� Attachment 4 Can you give us a recent example of an enclave annexation? Yes, there were four Southwest Enclave Annexations totally 1,603 acres that were phased in over time and were adopted by City Council between 2006 and 2013. Does Larimer County have anything to say about enclave annexations? Yes, Larimer County encourages the cities of Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud and Estes Park to annex properties that have become enclaves and have been surrounded by no less than three years. The City of Fort Collins and Larimer County have entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (I.G.A.) that establishes a Growth Management Area (G.M.A.). Within this G.M.A., the City and County have agreed that growth and development should be at an urban level and that the City, and/or special districts, is best able to provide an urban level of public services. Under the I.G.A., with regard to land located within the G.M.A., the City has agreed to pursue the annexation of enclaves as those areas become eligible according to state law. What about City zoning? The requested zoning districts for these annexations comply with the City's Structure Plan Map, an element of the City's comprehensive plan, and are as follows: Rennat Property — Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood, LMN; Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood, MMN; and Neighborhood Commercial, NC. Lehman / Timberline — Urban Estate, U-E. Mail Creek Second — Urban Estate, U-E. How long will the annexation process take? Typically an annexation process takes between 3 and 4 months once the annexation process is initiated. Why make us a pay an electric surcharge when we the City of Fort Collins is annexing us unwillingly? There is a Colorado statute that requires annexing utilities, such as Fort Collins Light & Power, to pay to the REA 25% of revenue every month for a period of 10 years after the electric service is transferred (not from the date of annexation). Each customer's rate will be based on the normal Light & Power rates + this 25%. At the end of the 10 year period, the REA surcharge is discontinued. Even with the 25% adder, the Fort Collins Light & Power residential rates are less than the Poudre Valley REA rates for most classes of customers. KA City of Fort Collins Attachment 4 ,,'.,r November 15, 2016 Enclave Annexation Outreach Summary Question and Answers What is an enclave? An enclave is a property, or group of properties, that are located in unincorporated Larimer County but, due to urban growth and development over time, are now surrounded by the City of Fort Collins municipal boundary. How is it that our properties became enclaves? The properties in the vicinity of South Timberline Road and Kechter Road have been divided into three separate enclave annexations and have become, or will soon become, enclaves in the following manner: Rennat Property: This is a single 57.834 acre parcel located between Timberline Road and the Union Pacific Railroad. As a result of the Hansen Farm Annexation, this parcel became an eligible enclave on May 21, 2013. Lehman/Timberline Property: This is a single 5.684 acre City -owned parcel located east of Timberline Road north of Bacon Elementary School, As a result of the Mail Creek Crossing Annexation, this parcel will fulfill the three- year statutory requirements on January 7, 2017. Mail Creek Second Annexation Properties: This is an enclave that consists of 43.698 acres and 11 parcels located at the northeast and southeast corners of Timberline Road and Kechter Road with the exception of the parcels owned by the Jehovah's Witnesses Church and the Thorland Subdivision, which are already part of the City of Fort Collins. As a result of the Mail Creek Crossing Annexation, these properties will fulfill the three-year statutory requirements on January 7, 2017. What is an enclave annexation? An enclave annexation is a growth management technique used by municipalities that allows Cities and Towns to establish a unified jurisdiction that does not have pockets of unincorporated land. After an enclave is created, three years must elapse before the City or Town can annex the property or multiple properties. Is it normal for the City of Fort Collins to annex properties after the three year period? Yes, it has long been the City's practice to annex enclaves after three years. 1 Rennat Annexation Scale 1 inch equals 417 feel Miles 0 0.04 0.06 0.12 0.16 Cm OF FORT COLuis GEOGRA M INFORMATION SYSTEM MAP NIODUCTS s P�v. ve au�e.ry-y e.0 v. ew.ep.ely rp v.cha rn Nn b w Fas�Ypvev..vy. naeegsvnu.malo- po-vYrgnwev.tl FpueK 11+CFnYia r,y�vav rmry� vEVEµ, vmY.. c. myYv�Ytltl YKeY.vmaTn WVwipK1.9 mburv.pu��I bu..v rvs M wtYTNvboYmilq myK nIM TIE aM1 EW! sna w.wpH.naYEPGINNPA31fxMRWE 1 Yr011 rnxFunEH wn Kv�.n rusoF EaEwessiu mpslEa,NNlEacn.o nEE Iw rnowpap a Tc _ .no Emss..swa.�•.nm.�.a..�ra Y. xnn.0 p��Ywd tlYEvr.mwvv N 9Ev bMYM1v1 � MtlR NnmMrdptl nW PJae,YmYNnYm�tlpm W.vwq tiv rm�m.i vnYrrm tlretl. etlr.Ye e.w tlwtlYEativYe Yl.m"�Etl Ps.P'va^�aweal.na uu TY dventl.mm.WeIYEMMn.tl INYb Yry EMtl Y�y..YYw YYY...rnn. a.n w.n e. mew..etl.b....., myw Yom E.....r wmm n e.ra..tl Structure Plan Attachment 3 Legend City Limits Neighborhood Commercial District Railroad Lines Urban Estate Water Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhoods Growth Management Area Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhoods 'I Open Lands, Parks and Stream Corridors Printed: December 01, 2016 PYin S�CI]NSIPYwryICunEnIPYmIiFAnvvYentlaEmtl i1\VknEyK.p.mN Re n n at Attachment 2 Zoning C� ,;,p1OPY CT i WILLOW !:E SPRING WAY COAS _�M vzzzz N W�E Scale 1 inch equals 475 feet Milo 0 0.045 0.09 0.135 0.1e Cm' OF FORT COLIJNS GEOGRAPHIC NFORNIATION annals MAP PROOOCTS m maM� ra.l u�nv�Nrq�Mu.n anMer�n ir..er �n cMwim feF.r II. nrnYWV�M/. ��ara�e w.w.ua m. a.++.rw.•w.. n..wee m. ur��uu..e no.rNo.> uuu.rlu..r u ou.o+u. r.o,ruu mrN a ernµN GAMINS Y.WCSIYO WMROIIIY «Ha1GWNlMPJT' W WMRNIYfOR IIM®«IlE F«I .zsenaewaR.wm+icere«+o mEa NM mooucre on nv rn a1E.rA►W W4..P MMr.+uCY ®PIrnN O.

Conceptual (PDF) Agenda Item 4 Item #4 Page 4 Agenda Item 4 On June 27, 2016 the parcel was submitted for Conceptual Review by a consultant/real estate broker. Attachment 5 shows a preliminary concept plan with a proposal to build 154 single-family homes with a small commercial section located at the southeastern portion of the site. MMN Purpose: The Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District is intended to be a setting for concentrated housing within easy walking distance of transit and a commercial district. Secondarily, a neighborhood may also contain other moderate -intensity complementary and supporting land uses that serve the neighborhood. These neighborhoods will form a transition and a link between surrounding neighborhoods and the commercial core with a unifying pattern of streets and blocks. Buildings, streets, bike and walking paths, open spaces and parks will be configured to create an inviting and convenient living environment. This District is intended to function together with surrounding low density neighborhoods (typically the L- M-N zone district) and a central commercial core (typically an N-C or C-C zone district). The intent is for the component zone districts to form an integral, town -like pattern of development, and not merely a series of individual development projects in separate zone districts. NC Purpose: The Neighborhood Commercial District is intended to be a mixed -use commercial core area anchored by a supermarket or grocery store and a transit stop. The main purpose of this District is to meet consumer demands for frequently needed goods and services, with an emphasis on serving the surrounding residential neighborhoods typically including a Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. In addition to retail and service uses, the District may include neighborhood -oriented uses such as schools, employment, day care, parks, small civic facilities, as well as residential uses. This District is intended to function together with a surrounding Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood, which in turn serves as a transition and a link to larger surrounding low density neighborhoods. The intent is for the component zone districts to form an integral, town -like pattern of development with this District as a center and focal point; and not merely a series of individual development projects in separate zone districts. Public Outreach: An outreach process is not required by Colorado Revised Statues or the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. However, on November 15, 2016, City staff held a stakeholder meeting to answer questions and inform residents of any changes that may result from being annexed into the City. Representatives from Planning and Light and Power were present to explain any potential difference in electrical rates, services, zoning and infrastructure. Attachment 4 is a summary of the questions and answers provided to residents who attended the meeting. Findings of Fact/Conclusion: In evaluating the request for the Rennat Annexation, Staff makes the following findings of fact: 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 amended Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements. 2. The area meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for a involuntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins. 3. The requested zone districts, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood Medium Density Mixed - Use Neighborhood and Neighborhood Commercial are in compliance with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan, the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan, and with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Item #4 Page 3 Agenda Item 4 Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: Direction Zone District Existing Land Use North Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood Farm (Hansen Farm) (LMN) South Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood Single Family Residential (Linden (LMN); Medium Density Mixed -Use Park); Multi -Family Residential Neighborhood (MMN) (Crowne on Timberline) East Neighborhood Commercial (NC); Farm (Hansen Farm) West Public Open Lands (P-O-L) Railroad (Union Pacific Railroad); Golf Course (Southridge Golf Course) The property became an enclave upon annexation of the Hansen Farm Annexation on May 21, 2013. The surrounding incorporated land consists of three previous annexations. 1. Willow Springs Annexation, 1994 2. Union Pacific South Fourth Annexation, 1988 3. Johnston Annexation, 2006 A pond covers the southwestern corner of the property and outbuilding/single family residence is located at the northern property line.
