Subject: Land Use Review Commission (LURC) formerly ZBA, Remote Hearings
Hello Chair‐person Shields,
Since May 2020 the Land Use Review Commission (LURC) has conducted a remote hearing. These remote hearings
appear to have met the needs of the board members and the applicants. The concerns that prompted these remote
meetings are beginning dissipate but are not eliminated.
Health risks during a world‐wide pandemic
Vaccinations continuing to be administered
Difficulties in coordinating logistics for an in‐person meeting or hybrid of such
It is staff recommendation to continue with a remote hearing for June and July 2021 meetings of the LURC and revaluate
for the August meeting.
Please respond to this email with your agreement with this recommendation or other suggestions for these hearings.
Kind Regards,
Noah Beals

Fort Collins, CO 80524
Regarding: 4606 S Mason St, Fort Collins, CO 80524 – Monument Sign Variance
Name of Project: 4606 S Mason St, LLC / Appliance Factory Mattress Kingdom (AFMK) Signage
This request for variance is regarding Article 3.8.7.2 Table (G)(1) Table Note: 1; only having one
freestanding sign per frontage with shared vehicular access. There are two existing monument signs on
W Harmony Rd, one for AFMK at 4606 S Mason St and one monument sign that is a multi-tenant /
Panda Express at 4600 S Mason St. And there are two existing monument signs on S College Ave, one
for AFMK at 4606 S Mason St and one for Fazoli’s at 4624 S Mason St. This request is to remove and
replace the existing monument signs at 4606 S Mason St to update and improve them and the overall
aesthetic of the property.
A variance is needed to alter or modify the structure or to change the shape and size of the existing
monument signs. The proposed monument signs will not diverge from the Land Use Code standards
except in a nominal, inconsequential way when considered in the context of the neighborhood because
the signs already exist. The existing signs are very weathered and getting to the point of disrepair. The
cost to repair them is prohibitive as they are a steel construction and have significant rust to the internal
structure. The new signs would be constructed of aluminum and utilize the most up to date standards in
LED lighting making them more energy efficient.
There is no other signage on either of these frontages besides the Northeast corner, which can only be
viewed from intersection of Harmony and College. Not having a monument sign on either of these
frontages would significantly impact the applicant’s visibility and business.
The proposed monument signs, along with the other wall signs, are within the sign area allowance; will
have proper height from the flowline based on setbacks; are over 75 ft away from any other existing
freestanding signs and the new design structure will better match the primary finish and colors of the
associated building.
Thank you for your consideration of this variance.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Discount Sign

1. Hardship
3. Nominal and inconsequential
Additional Justification
Justification for Variance Request | 400 9th Street, 80524
This request for variance to the zoning code in the RL (residential low density) district seeks to reduce the
required front yard setback from 20 feet to ±4' (LUC 4.4(D)(2)(B)), and the corner side setback from 15' to
±12' (LUC 4.4(D)(2)(D)). This will be for a new addition onto the front of the home to improve curb appeal
and construction quality. The addition will involve removing an existing structure that is believed to have
been built around the 1960s with a new addition in the same footprint. The new structure and all
architectural features and overhangs will not encroach the front and corner side setback any more than
the existing structure does. See the following justifications for this request:
1. Hardship- Existing structure being demolished and replaced is roughly 60 years old based on
construction materials and methods. The portion of the house that this existing structure attaches to was
built in 1919, before the land use code existed.
2. Nominal and Inconsequential- The Andersonville neighborhood where this house is located, has a
diverse mix of architectural styles and ages of the structures, especially along Lemay/9th Ave. Parts of
the neighborhood have been developed more recently, like the two properties north of 400 9th St, which
were redeveloped in the early 80s, and meet more modern setback requirements. However, the house 4
doors to the north at 416 9th Street was built in 1961 and has a very similar front setback to the subject
house. Many homes along this stretch of Lemay/9th Ave. have similar setbacks. This variance request will
be better than existing because of the roughly 40% of the existing footprint that will be newly constructed
as a covered patio, open on two sides. A consequential benefit of this new structure will be improved site
lines for drivers at the adjacent intersection.

The Zoning Board of Appeals has been granted the authority to approve variances from the requirements of
Articles 3 and 4 of the Land Use Code. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not authorize any use in a zoning district
other than those uses which are specifically permitted in the zoning district. The Board may grant variances where it
finds that the modification of the standard would not be detrimental to the public qood. Additionally, the variance
request must meet at least one of the following justification reasons:
(1) by reason of exceptional physical conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situations unique to the
property, including, but not limited to physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness, or
topography, the strict application of the code requirements would result in unusualand exceptional practical
difficulties or undue hardship upon the occupanVapplicant of the property, provided that such difficulties or
hardship are not caused by an act or omission of the occupant/applicant (i.e. not self-imposed),
(2) the proposal will promote the general purpose of the standard for which the variance is requested equallv
well or better than would a proposal which complies with the standard for which the variance is requested;
(3) the proposal will not diverge from the Land Use Code standards except in a nominal, inconsequential wav
when considered in the context of the neighborhood.
This application is only for a variance to the Land Use Code. Burlding Code requir

To Whom It May Concern, April 26, 2021
I am applying for a setback variance to install a 12’x16’ Shed in my backyard. We have a small back yard
and request to build a 12’x16’ shed 3 feet from the back and side fence. Without the variance, the
setback requirements, 15’ from the back and 5’ from the side, would force us to cut down a beautiful
old tree, and then place the shed more in the middle of our small back yard. The neighbor behind us has
three sheds that almost touch the back fence. With a 6’ privacy fence, and large bush in our front yard,
the shed will not be visible from the street.
I appreciate your attention.
Best Regards

Additional Justification
Zoning Variance Application
May 10, 2021
Property Address: Christ United Methodist Church, 301 East Drake Road, Fort Collins, CO 80525
Zoning Designation for Property: RL
Variance Application Regarding: Installation of New Electronic Messaging Sign to Replace Existing Electric Manual
Messaging Sign
Reason for Variance Request:
The proposed new sign will not diverge from the Land Use Code standards except in a nominal, inconsequential
way when considered in the context of the neighborhood.
Variance Request:
1. Background: The RL zone regulations require that an electronic sign be located at least 100 feet from an
adjacent property line. The current electric sign (picture attached) is approximately 85 feet from the nearest
neighboring property line (see attached site map which shows the sign and the nearest property line from
above). This sign contains messaging which is changed via manual placement of lettering. This sign has been in
this location since 1998 and is electrically illuminated from dusk to dawn daily. In addition to the messages on
this sign, the church occasionally uses separate 3’X8’ or 4’X8’ banners located on the property to promote
special announcements regarding church ministries.
2. Request: Replace the existing electric sign in the same location as the existing sign rather than relocating the
sign location to 100’ from the nearest adjacent property.
3. Justification: This is justified for the following reasons:
a. The south side of the nearest residence which faces the church sign is not the primary side of the
residence as shown in attachment 1. It has a garage and a secondary entrance of the house only.
b. There are two residences who are capable of viewing the church sign, one at the corner of Mathews and
Drake and the other at the corner of Tulane and Drake. All other residences are blocked from direct
viewing by church or other landscaping. The Pastor and the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the church
have meet with those who live in both residences. Both had no objections to the new sign and support
the variance application.
c. Relocation of the sign will result in the sign being less visible to drivers on East Drake Road than the
current sign since it will be further away from the street.
i. A less visible location for drivers will result in less effective church ministries.
ii. A less visible location may result in the continued or expanded use of separate banners to
promote church ministries and special events.
d. The new sign in the existing sign location will eliminate or significantly reduce the requirement to use
supplemental banners on the property.
e. The new electronic sign will be no more obtrusive than the current electric sign since it will be
approximately the same size as the current electric sign, will be illuminated for the same duration each
day, and will be illuminated by LED lighting rather than incandescent lighting.
4. The new sign will be within the code regulations for electronic signage in an RL zone in all other aspects except
for the required distance from the nearest adjacent property. The existing sign is approximately the same size
as the new sign will be. See attachment 2 for a photo of the existing sign.
5. The site map of the existing sign in relation to the nearest property is shown in attachment 3.
