Trustees approve annexation and industrial zoning for 2‑acre ‘Berth Industrial’ parcel
Summary
After a public hearing and a recommendation from the Planning Commission, trustees voted unanimously to annex roughly 2 acres west of First Street and zone it M2 (industrial) consistent with the town’s innovation‑district future land‑use map (Ordinance 1382).
Berth — The board approved the annexation and industrial rezoning of a roughly 2‑acre parcel at the town’s western edge after a public hearing and a positive Planning Commission recommendation.
Planner Bella Manzo reviewed the application, telling trustees the site lies west of First Street and north of County Road 10E and is designated on Berth’s 2021 comprehensive plan as part of the "innovation district" envisioned for light industrial, research and related production uses. The property will be rezoned from unincorporated Larimer County’s commercial corridor designation to the town’s M2 industrial zone upon annexation.
Planning Commission hearing and board action
The Planning Commission recommended approval at its May meeting. Trustees deliberated briefly and then approved Resolution 2026‑15 (findings of fact for annexation) and Ordinance 1382 (annexation and zoning) by roll‑call votes. The roll calls recorded unanimous support from trustees and Mayor Prom Sorelli Albert.
What comes next
With annexation complete, any future development on the parcel would require site‑plan review or a use‑by‑special‑review depending on the proposed activity; staff noted that commercial and industrial uses compatible with the innovation district—research and development, maker spaces or production uses—would be typical candidates.
Provenance: public‑hearing presentation, Planning Commission referral, and roll‑call votes (timeline entries SEG 4440–SEG 4886).
