develop the property with commercial and
residential uses.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The property is within the Long-Range
Expected Growth Area and the Mid-Range
Expected Service Area, and just outside of
the Municipal Service Suitability Area.
The proposed commercial land use is
compatible with the existing and
surrounding uses but there is concern
regarding the placement of residential in an
area adjacent to industrial and commercial
uses. Further analysis will occur with the
establishment of zoning for the property.

ANALYSIS The annexation of this parcel into the City

present growth patterns and Comprehensive
Plan polices. The requirements of the
State statutes and the City of Greeley
guidelines for annexation appear to have
been met by the requested annexation.
The site is fully within the City's Long
Range Expected Growth Area and the
City's Mid-Range Expected Service Area,
and adjacent to the City's Municipal
Services Suitability Area. The developer
has acknowledged that responsibility for
the costs of extending streets and municipal
utilities to serve the development.
The proposed residential use of the
property will have some impact on the
neighborhood schools of School District 6.
The applicant indicates that they will
propose approximately 250 residential units
associated with the development of the
residential portion of the property.
A portion of the property is located in a
moderate area of ecological significance as
identified by the City Areas of Ecological
Significant map. A wetland area has been
identified in the southeast corner of the site
which consists of 6,300 square feet.
