Background:
Zoning - #47-89,A •
The applicant and
owner, Nordic Construction, has
submitted a written petition
requesting annexation of approximately
5.95 acres
located south
of Harmony
Road and east of
Shields Street. The
requested
zoning is the
R-L-P, Low
Density Planned
Residential, Zoning
District.
The property
is presently
undeveloped. The
property is currently
zoned FA-1, Farming, in
the County.
This is a voluntary
annexation.
Any existing commercial signs on the property will have to conform to the
City's Sign Code at the conclusion of a five year amortization period.
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 consider the annexa-
tion of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation
according to State law. The property gains the required 1/6 contiguity to
existing city limits from a common boundary with the Orchard Annexation to
the west and the Voc-Tech Smith Annexation to the north.
The surrounding zoning and existing land uses are as follows:
N: R-L-P, single family homes.
E: FA-1, Farming, large lot single family homes.
S: FA-1, Farming, large lot single family homes.
W: R-L-P, single family homes.
The requested zoning for this annexation is the R-L-P, Low Density Planned
Residential District. The R-L-P District designation is for areas planned as a
unit to provide variation in use, density and building placement. The property
will probably eventually develop with detached single-family homes According
to the City's LAND USE POLICIES PLAN, low density residential uses should
locate in areas which have easy access to existing or planned neighborhood and
community/regional shopping centers, have, easy access to major employment
centers, are within walking distance to an existing or planned elementary
school, are within walking distance to an existing or planned neighborhood
park and within easy access to a community park, and in areas in which a
collector street affords the primary access. This site addresses these locational
policies.
Findings
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.
