Project Introduction A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION • This is a request for consideration of a Project Development Plan (PDP) to develop a 5-story, mixed-use building at 140 E Oak Street. The project is at the northwest corner of the intersection of Remington Street and Oak Street, north of the existing City parking lot at Oak and Remington. The site is 0.58 acres in size. • The building is proposed to contain office/commercial spaces on the ground floor level, podium parking on level 2, and affordable housing on levels 3-5. The PDP proposes 79 affordable dwelling units and 66 off-street parking spaces. Access will be taken from Remington Street directly to the east. • The site is located within the Downtown (D) zone district, in the Historic Core Subdistrict. The project is within a 200-foot area of adjacency of several historic resources and its location in the Historic Core Subdistrict reinforces the importance of the PDP’s compatibility with the historic context in this area. • This project is a partnership between Housing Catalyst and the Downtown Development Authority (DDA). Housing Catalyst is a local affordable housing developer that is governed by a Board of Commissioners appointed by the Fort Collins City Council. The DDA uses tax increment financing to partner with private investors to carry out real estate improvements in the Downtown and is also served by a volunteer board appointed by City Council. Housing Catalyst plans to develop and manage the affordable housing portion of the project. On the ground floor, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) plans to own and manage approximately 7,736 square feet of commercial and office space. • All of the 79 housing units are proposed to be affordable to residents making between 30% and 80% of Fort Collins Area Median Income (AMI). This project will be financed in part through 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). The project exceeds the City’s definition of “affordable housing project” because more than 10% of the units are affordable to residents making 80% AMI or below (100% of units proposed by this project), and these units will be deed-restricted for at least 20 years (30 years proposed by this project). • The applicants are requesting two Modifications of Standards to the Downtown (D) zone district requirements: o The first modification is to the setback requirements in Land Use Code (LUC) Section 4.16(B)(1). The applicants request approval for a 0-foot setback from the alley at levels 2-5, rather than the 5 foot alley setback required for a “Storefront” street frontage type in the Downtown zone district. o The second modification is to the building height limits in LUC Section 4.16(C)(1). The applicants request approval for an increase in building height to 5 stories/57 feet, 9 inches, rather than the 4 stories/56 feet permitted in this part of the Downtown zone district. This is an increase of 1 foot, 9 inches over the total allowed height. • There an existing one-story building at 143 Remington that is proposed to be demolished as part of this PDP. The rest of the site is vacant. B. SITE CHARACTERISTICS 1. Development Status/Background The subject property was annexed into the City on January 18, 1873 as part of the Original Town Site Annex. The property was platted as Block 121 and includes Lots 23-26, 29, and portions of Lots 27, 28 and 30. From 1907 to 2012, 140 East Oak Street was the site of a 3+-story structure. The original structure was a YMCA building constructed of brick, sandstone, and a clay tile roof. The building became an Elks Lodge in 1939 and served this purpose with modest alterations to the building’s design until a gas leak explosion in 1977 required an extensive reconstruction of the building exterior. The building was demolished in 2012 and the site has since remained vacant. Packet pg. 6 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 3 of 24 Back to Top The building at 143 Remington Street is currently the site of a one-story brick structure. An official determination of eligibility has concluded that the property does not meet the requirements to be considered an historic resource under the Land Use Code because of significant alterations to its storefront. That determination is less than five years old and therefore remains valid based on Land Use Code restrictions. The existing structure at 143 Remington is proposed to be demolished as part of this PDP. 2. Surrounding Zoning and Land Use North South East West Zoning Downtown (D), Historic Core Subdistrict Downtown (D), Historic Core Subdistrict Downtown (D), Historic Core Subdistrict Downtown (D), Historic Core Subdistrict Land Use Brewery (Equinox Brewery) Commercial (City parking lot) Mixed Use (ground-floor commercial with office, residential above) Mixed Use (various ground-floor retail businesses with office, residential above) C. OVERVIEW OF MAIN CONSIDERATIONS Staff’s primary consideration for this PDP has been a careful review of the project’s compatibility with Downtown’s historic context, particularly because of the project’s location in the Historic Core subdistrict. A detailed analysis of the project’s compatibility follows in Sections 5(C) and 5(D) of this report. In summary, staff finds that the PDP meets the compatibility criteria in the Land Use Code. In addition to the proposal’s compliance with the Land Use Code’s compatibility criteria, staff would also like to note the following additional consideration: • The building design has changed dramatically from the approach presented at conceptual review in May and at the neighborhood meeting in June. The conceptual review of the project showed a 6-story building with a 5-story fire wall in the northeast corner of the site. The fire wall was necessary to accommodate the existing one-story structure located at 143 Remington Street. In between the conceptual review and submittal of a Project Development Plan, the property owners of Oak 140 and 143 Remington came to an agreement wherein the existing building would be sold to the applicant and demolished. The redesigned building submitted with the PDP resulted in significant design improvements and much greater project and building compatibility. Architectural drawings from conceptual review and the second round of PDP review are provided below for illustrative purposes: Conceptual Review: Round 2 PDP: Packet pg. 7 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 4 of 24 Back to Top Another consideration for this PDP has been the applicant’s request for two Modifications of Standards: A. Modification to 4.16(B)(1) – Street Frontage and Building Placement Requirements. This standard requires a 5-foot alley setback for properties that are assigned a “Storefront” street frontage type in the D zone. The applicants propose a 0-foot alley setback on building levels 2-5. B. Modification to 4.16(C)(1) – Building Height Limits. This standard allows a maximum building height of 4 stories or 56 feet on this block of the Downtown zone. The applicants request approval for an increase in building height to 5 stories/57 feet, 9 inches. This is an increase of 1 foot, 9 inches over the total allowed height. An analysis of these Modification requests follows in Section 4 of this report. In summary, Staff finds that the modification requests comply with the requirements in Land Use Code Section 2.8. In addition to the analysis of the modifications under Section 2.8 criteria, staff would also like to highlight the following points for consideration: • As of 2020, the City is hundreds of units behind on the adopted goals for affordable housing production. Recent estimates indicate that the City will need to encourage the construction of 300+ units of affordable housing a year to meet 2040 goals. Though City Plan, the City Strategic Plan, and the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan all encourage production of affordable housing, the realities of financing and constructing deed-restricted affordable housing are very challenging. • Providing affordable housing Downtown aligns with City Plan policies that encourage housing located near employment, amenities, and transit. The project would also align with existing policy direction in City Plan to distribute affordable housing in all parts of Fort Collins. The partnership between Housing Catalyst as the housing developer and the Downtown Development Authority as the land owner is a unique approach that will mitigate the often prohibitively high cost of land in this desirable Downtown location. • Most of the existing affordable housing Downtown (e.g. Northern Hotel, DMA Plaza) is age-restricted for older adults. This project would add housing for all ages, marketed to Downtown employees. Downtown employees, especially those working in retail and service industries, are a demographic that often experience housing affordability challenges. Downtown business stakeholders who participated in a charette with the DDA identified the Oak 140 site as an ideal location for affordable housing that could help address these housing challenges. 2. Comprehensive Plan A. DOWNTOWN PLAN (2017) Fort Collins has shaped downtown development through an adopted subarea plan since 1989. The most recent update to the Downtown Plan was adopted by City Council in 2017. The Downtown Plan serves as a guide for budgets, projects, programs, investments, regulations and other efforts focused in the downtown area. In addition to overall policy guidance, the 2017 Downtown Plan also incorporated recently completed planning efforts and studies (e.g., the Poudre River Downtown Master Plan, the citywide Pedestrian Plan, and the Bicycle Master Plan) into a comprehensive plan for Downtown Fort Collins. Perhaps most relevant to the current proposal, the Downtown Plan provides detailed urban design guidance for future infill and redevelopment projects. Guidance for the Historic Core Subdistrict emphasizes the importance of compatibility with historic structures, while recognizing that infill and redevelopment should complement the existing historic context by incorporating “design differences so that the new structures reflect their own era.” The Downtown Plan also acknowledges that infill and redevelopment downtown “will typically take the form of denser development with larger and taller new buildings.” Changes to the Downtown zone district standards (LUC Section 4.16) in 2019 codified a more form-based approach for the Downtown area, implementing the extensive urban design guidance contained in the Downtown Plan. Upper story stepbacks, a hierarchy of street frontage types, and ground-floor transparency minimums are all examples of Land Use Code requirements that were added in 2019 to encourage more compatible infill projects. Packet pg. 8 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 5 of 24 Back to Top In addition, this PDP proposes substantial enhancements to the streetscape and a third-level resident patio/amenity space, both of which are well aligned with guidance contained in the Downtown Plan. The Downtown Plan encourages “new and enhanced spaces that provide a respite from the urban environment.” Additional planters, benches, and ample landscaping along the Oak and Remington frontages enhance the pedestrian experience. The design, landscaping and seating provided on the south-facing patio create a unique space for residents to enjoy as well. B. CITY PLAN (2019) City Plan is the City’s comprehensive plan for land use, transportation, and transit. Several principles and policies are relevant to the evaluation of the current proposal. • Principle LIV 2 – Promote infill and redevelopment. • Principle LIV 5 – Create more opportunities for housing choices. • Principle LIV 6 – Improve access to housing that meets the needs of residents regardless of their race, ethnicity, income, age, ability or background. • Principle EH 6 – Support the development of a skilled and qualified workforce that is well-connected to employment opportunities in the city and region • Principle T 9 – Utilize the transportation system to support a healthy and equitable community While the Downtown Plan is the primary guiding document for this area of the community because it is more specific than City Plan, the proposal for redevelopment of this site also aligns well with the guidance contained in City Plan. Because this proposal increases the amount of available and affordable housing downtown, it supports a healthy downtown economy, encourages transit ridership, and adds to the vibrant mix of uses already present in the area. C. ADDITIONAL RELEVANT PLANS Several other adopted policy documents are relevant to this PDP in addition to the land use/comprehensive plans summarized above. Both the Downtown Plan and City Plan have incorporated these additional documents by reference. Key points are summarized below: • City Strategic Plan (2020): the 2020 Strategic Plan identifies housing affordability as one of the City’s guiding themes and principles. • Affordable Housing Strategic Plan (2015): set a goal to facilitate the development of about 188 affordable housing units per year through 2019, which would result in approximately 6% of all units as designated affordable housing. The overall goal is to have 10% of the City’s housing stock composed of designated affordable units by 2040. • Climate Action Plan: Framework (2015): emissions reduction strategies identified in the CAP Framework include guidance to “shift land use patterns to shorten trips and reduce the need to drive,” and “drive adoption of multimodal transport.” 3.

Published Hearing Notice: Scheduled for August 23, 2020, Coloradoan Confirmation #0004331554 C. DIVISION 2.8 – MODIFICATION OF STANDARDS The applicants are requesting two Modifications of Standards to the Downtown (D) zone district requirements: • The first modification is to the setback requirements in Land Use Code (LUC) Section 4.16(B)(1). The applicants request approval for a 0-foot setback from the alley at building levels 2-5, rather than the 5 foot alley setback required for a “Storefront” street frontage type in the Downtown zone district. • The second modification is to the building height limits in LUC Section 4.16(C)(1). The applicants request approval for an increase in building height to 5 stories/57 feet, 9 inches, rather than the 4 stories/56 feet permitted in this part of the Downtown zone district. This is an increase of 1 foot, 9 inches over the total allowed height. The Land Use Code is adopted with the recognition that there will be instances where a project would support the implementation of City Plan or intent of the Land Use Code, but due to unique and unforeseen circumstances would not meet a specific standard of the Land Use Code as stated. The modification process and criteria in Land Use Code Division 2.8.2(H) provide for evaluation of these instances on a case-by-case basis, as follows: Land Use Code Modification Criteria: Packet pg. 10 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 7 of 24 Back to Top “The decision maker may grant a modification of standards only if it finds that the granting of the modification would not be detrimental to the public good, and that: (1) the plan as submitted will promote the general purpose of the standard for which the modification is requested equally well or better than would a plan which complies with the standard for which a modification is requested; or (2) the granting of a modification from the strict application of any standard would, without impairing the intent and purpose of this Land Use Code, substantially alleviate an existing, defined and described problem of city-wide concern or would result in a substantial benefit to the city by reason of the fact that the proposed project would substantially address an important community need specifically and expressly defined and described in the city's Comprehensive Plan or in an adopted policy, ordinance or resolution of the City Council, and the strict application of such a standard would render the project practically infeasible; or (3) by reason of exceptional physical conditions or other extraordinary and exceptional situations, unique to such property, including, but not limited to, physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness or topography, or physical conditions which hinder the owner's ability to install a solar energy system, the strict application of the standard sought to be modified would result in unusual and exceptional practical difficulties, or exceptional or undue hardship upon the owner of such property, provided that such difficulties or hardship are not caused by the act or omission of the applicant; or (4) the plan as submitted will not diverge from the standards of the Land Use Code that are authorized by this Division to be modified except in a nominal, inconsequential way when considered from the perspective of the entire development plan, and will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code as contained in Section 1.2.2. Any finding made under subparagraph (1), (2), (3) or (4) above shall be supported by specific findings showing how the plan, as submitted, meets the requirements and criteria of said subparagraph (1), (2), (3) or (4). 1. Applicant’s Justification The applicant’s justification for Modifications of Standard to Section 4.16(B)(1) and Section 4.16(C)(1) are included as attachments to this report. Staff will address each modification in turn in the following sections: A. Modification to 4.16(B)(1) – Street Frontage and Building Placement Requirements. The applicant contends that this modification is justified under criterion 2, “substantially alleviate an existing, defined, and described problem of citywide concern…[where the] strict application of such a standard would render the project infeasible.” Section 4.16(B)(1) requires a 5-foot alley setback for properties that are assigned a “Storefront” street frontage type in the D zone. The applicant proposes a 0-foot alley setback on levels 2-5. The applicant offers the following points in their justification: • “The proposed project… is designed to address the critical need for affordable rental housing in the community… The opportunity to provide affordable housing for 79 households is a significant step towards addressing this important community need and provides a substantial benefit to these individuals and the community as a whole.” • “…Housing Catalyst will be utilizing 4% Federal and State Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to develop the project. The LIHTC equity is the most critical component of the project financing. The LIHTC program has specific requirements and associated costs. There is a general economy of scale that is necessary to make LIHTC projects feasible. The most recent reports tell us that the average size of a 4% LIHTC project in Colorado is 114 units. In general, projects that are closer to 100 units are more viable, stable, and cost effective when utilizing the 4% LIHTC program. When approaching the programming for Oak 140, the team wanted to maximize the density and efficiency of the project while also balancing the size, height, parking needs, and cost of the building. It is not feasible to achieve the necessary number of units in a building less than five stories in height.” Packet pg. 11 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 8 of 24 Back to Top • “The only way to avoid encroaching into the alley setback at the second level would be to move the parking from the second-floor podium to an underground format or reduce the number of parking by approximately 12 stalls. The underground parking option was problematic because of the risk of water infiltration, increased duration of construction activity and costs associated with mitigating water underground, and constructing the parking underground. Since the design of the parking garage utilizes the minimum dimensions allowed for parking stalls and drive aisles, the other option would require the loss of an entire row of parking, or 12 stalls. This would reduce the off-street parking provided below that which is required and would add undue burden to the limited on-street parking areas beyond the 140 E Oak property.” • “The setback at the ground level along the alley varies from 5 feet to 9.5 feet and is enhanced in a variety of ways. Glass storefront windows wrap the corner of Oak Street and the start of Montezuma Fuller Alley, creating an upscale inviting entrance to the alley. A west side building entrance, planters, bicycle parking, pedestrian lighting and colorful murals expand the eclectic feel of the existing alley, making it a comfortable and interesting space. The fact that the second story comes out over the setback area adds the advantage of weather protection.” B. Modification to 4.16(C)(1) – Building Height Limits. The applicant contends that this modification is justified under criterion 2, “substantially alleviate an existing, defined, and described problem of citywide concern…[where the] strict application of such a standard would render the project infeasible” and criterion 4, “will not diverge from the standards…except in a nominal, inconsequential way.” Section 4.16(C)(1) allows a maximum building height of 4 stories or 56 feet on this block of the Downtown zone. The applicants request approval for an increase in building height to 5 stories/57 feet, 9 inches. This is an increase of 1 foot, 9 inches over the total allowed height. In addition to the justification for criterion 2 summarized above, the applicant offers the following points in their justification: Criterion 2: • “The proposed project… is designed to address the critical need for affordable rental housing in the community… The opportunity to provide affordable housing for 79 households is a significant step towards addressing this important community need and provides a substantial benefit to these individuals and the community as a whole.” • “…Housing Catalyst will be utilizing 4% Federal and State Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to develop the project. The LIHTC equity is the most critical component of the project financing. The LIHTC program has specific requirements and associated costs. There is a general economy of scale that is necessary to make LIHTC projects feasible. The most recent reports tell us that the average size of a 4% LIHTC project in Colorado is 114 units. In general, projects that are closer to 100 units are more viable, stable, and cost effective when utilizing the 4% LIHTC program. When approaching the programming for Oak 140, the team wanted to maximize the density and efficiency of the project while also balancing the size, height, parking needs, and cost of the building. It is not feasible to achieve the necessary number of units in a building less than five stories in height.” • The only way to have fewer stories would be to move the parking from the second-floor podium to an underground format or reduce the number of units from 79 to 53 by eliminating the 5th floor. The underground parking option was problematic because of the risk of water infiltration, increased duration of construction activity and costs associated with constructing the parking and mitigating water underground. The other option to eliminate the 5th floor does not yield enough units to make the project viable.” Criterion 4: Packet pg. 12 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 9 of 24 Back to Top • “The proposed building will have a maximum height of 57’-9”, as measured from the average of the finished ground level at the center of all walls to the highest point of the roof surface per LUC Section 3.8.17(A). This additional 1’-9” results in an overall height increase of just 3% beyond the code requirements, but affords the opportunity to provide the community with an additional 26 affordable housing units than if the 5th story was removed. • “Taking into consideration the historic significance of Downtown Fort Collins and the need for integrative design, Shopworks Architecture has carefully shaped the exterior facade of Oak 140 to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. The use of stepbacks on both Oak St. and Remington St. help facilitate a smooth transition between Oak 140 and surrounding buildings. Additionally, the choice of exterior materials help ground the building. Brick, an esthetically heavy material, is used at the lower levels, while the lighter metal panels are used for the upper stories. This helps to diminish the perceived height of the building, while at the same time creating space for both historic and modern architectural expression.” • “The proposed use for the multi-family building will be consistent with the City Plan goals to provide affordable housing.” • “The anticipated residents of the multi-family building will be those within our community who work in Old Town, thus reducing the need for the use of automobiles.” • “The property located at 140 E Oak St has been vacant since the Elks Lodge building was demolished in 2012. The project as proposed offers an efficient use of space for one of the few remaining vacant lots in Old Town.” • “The Downtown District is currently underserved from an affordable housing standpoint, and this project will go a long way to provide housing in this area to a wider demographic.” 2. Staff’s Analysis of Modification Request Staff’s analysis in this section is strictly focused on the compliance of the Modification requests with the criteria in Land Use Code Section 2.8.2. In addition to the analysis below, staff has highlighted several additional considerations that are relevant to the Modification requests in Section 1.C.A of this staff report. A. Staff finds that the requested Modification of Standard to Section 4.16(B)(1) to reduce the required 5-foot alley setback to a 0-foot alley setback on levels 2-5 would not be detrimental to the public good and is justified by criterion 2 in Land Use Code Section 2.8.2. Staff finds that the requested Modification addresses criterion 2, “substantially alleviates a community need,” because the PDP will result in the addition of 79 affordable housing units in the Downtown area. Affordable housing is a critical community priority that has been identified in City Plan, the City Strategic Plan, and the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan. Relevant principles and policies have been included below for reference: • City Plan: Adopted in 2019, City Plan is the City’s comprehensive plan for land use, transportation, and transit. Attainable, affordable housing options were one of the top issues raised in community engagement during the plan update process. These concerns are reflected in a range of principles across multiple outcome areas: o Principle LIV 2 – Promote infill and redevelopment. o Principle LIV 5 – Create more opportunities for housing choices. o Principle LIV 6 – Improve access to housing that meets the needs of residents regardless of their race, ethnicity, income, age, ability or background. o Principle EH 6 – Support the development of a skilled and qualified workforce that is well- connected to employment opportunities in the city and region o Principle T 9 – Utilize the transportation system to support a healthy and equitable community Packet pg. 13 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 10 of 24 Back to Top The proposed PDP helps achieve each of these principles. It is an infill project, provides additional housing choices that are affordable, is located in a major employment center, and is close to transit. • City Strategic Plan: The Strategic Plan is the City's five-year road map that articulates community priorities, ways to measure success and alignment of work across projects and departments. The outcomes and objectives identified in the plan directly affect the development of City’s budget and guide the work the City does in its seven key outcome areas. The 2020 Strategic Plan identifies housing affordability as one of the City’s guiding themes and principles. o NLSH (Neighborhood Livability and Social Health) 1.1 – Improve and increase availability and choice of quality housing that is affordable to a broad range of income levels. The proposed PDP is well aligned with this direction, particularly because it is providing a mix of affordable studio, 1- and 2-bedroom units that can accommodate a range of household types. • Affordable Housing Strategic Plan: Adopted in 2015, the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan set a goal to facilitate the development of about 188 affordable housing units per year through 2019, which would result in approximately 6% of all units as designated affordable housing. The overall goal is to have 10% of the City’s housing stock composed of designated affordable units by 2040. As of 2020, the pace of affordable housing development is not keeping up with this goal, especially when compared to the pace of market-rate residential development. Current affordable inventory is approximately 4.8% of all housing units. To achieve the 10% goal set by the plan, recent estimates indicate that Fort Collins will need to produce 300+ units of affordable housing every year between 2020 and 2040. The 79 units proposed in this PDP would represent over 25% of the City’s desired affordable housing production in 2021, which is a substantial contribution toward achieving our adopted affordable housing goals. Staff further notes that criterion 2 includes a requirement to find that the “strict application of such a standard would render the project infeasible.” If the 5-foot setback from the alley was applied to floors 2-5 of this project, the applicants estimate that 12 parking spaces would need to be removed on the second level. A parking reduction of this magnitude would require additional demand mitigation strategies to permit 54 parking spaces instead of 66. Future residents in the building and the overall function of the project would be significantly impacted by this reduction, potentially rendering the project infeasible from a practical perspective. B. Staff finds that the requested Modification of Standard to Section 4.16(C)(1) to increase the allowed building height to 5 stories/57 feet, 9 inches (an increase of 1 foot, 9 inches over the allowed 4 stories/56 feet height allowance) would not be detrimental to the public good and is justified by criteria 2 and 4 in Land Use Code Section 2.8.2. Criterion 2: • Staff finds that the requested Modification addresses criterion 2, “substantially alleviates a community need,” because the PDP will result in the addition of 79 affordable housing units in the Downtown area. Affordable housing is a critical community priority that has been identified in City Plan, the City Strategic Plan, and the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan as described in section A above. • Staff further notes that criterion 2 includes a requirement to find that the “strict application of such a standard would render the project infeasible.” If the height of the building were reduced to 4 stories, the number of units would be reduced from 79 to 53, rendering the project infeasible from a financial perspective. Criterion 4: Packet pg. 14 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 11 of 24 Back to Top • Staff finds that the requested Modification addresses criterion 4, “nominal and inconsequential,” because the overall increase in building height is only 3% of the total building height (1 foot, 9 inches), and because the design of the building meets the overall intent of the building requirements in the Downtown zone. This minor increase in height will facilitate the kind of high- quality architecture and mixed-use infill development envisioned by the Downtown Plan and City Plan. • Though the building is 5 stories instead of 4, the Land Use Code section for Downtown (4.16) specifically states that “the maximum height limits are intended to convey a scale of building rather than an exact point or line” and goes on to further state that lofts or penthouses may project above the height limits for 1/3 of the floor area of the level below. The intent of the height limits in the Downtown zone, combined with upper-story stepback and ground-floor material requirements, is in part to minimize bulk and mass on the upper levels of buildings. • The sensitive design of the proposed building includes lighter colors and materials on the upper floors, stepbacks at both the third and fifth levels, and careful articulation of the overall bulk and mass of the building. Staff finds that the design of the building addresses the intent of the height limits in the Downtown zone, and that the increase in height requested is nominal and inconsequential when viewed from the perspective of the overall development. The scale of the building is appropriate to its context and to the height limits in the surrounding area. 5. Article 3 - Applicable Standards A. DIVISION 3.2 - SITE PLANNING AND DESIGN STANDARDS Applicable Code Standard Summary of Code Requirement and Analysis Staff Findings 3.2.1 – Landscaping and Tree Protection This Code Section requires a fully developed landscape plan that addresses relationships of landscaping to the circulation system and parking, the building, abutting properties, and users of the site in a manner appropriate to the neighborhood context. The plan provides the following main components: • Two street trees are proposed along Remington Street at spacing requirements outlined in Section 3.2.1(D)(2). Two additional shade trees are proposed along Oak Street. • Of the 5 existing trees on the site, one Green Ash is proposed to be removed at the request of the City. This requires one mitigation tree. In total, 5 new trees are proposed. • Because there are fewer than 10 trees proposed, the species diversity requirements in Land Use Code Section 3.2.1(D)(3) do not apply to this PDP • Affordable housing projects qualify for reduced minimum tree sizes of 1” caliper container or equivalent; however, this PDP is meeting standard minimum sizes of 2” caliper container or equivalent (1.5” caliper for ornamental trees). • The PDP as submitted meets the landscape standards in Section 3.2.1(E). The second- level parking is screened with grasses, planters, and a decorative metal panel. Planting areas are provided along Oak Street, concentrated in high-visibility areas. Complies 3.2.2 – Access, Circulation and Parking This Code Section requires secure, convenient, efficient parking and circulation improvements that add to the attractiveness of the development. • The plan provides on-site curbcuts, sidewalk ramps, and a clearly delineated parking layout in compliance with standards. • The General Improvement District (GID) has committed to funding a pedestrian bulb-out at the corner of Remington and Oak in 2021. The construction of the improvement will be coordinated with the construction of this PDP. Complies 3.2.2(C)(4)(b) – Bicycle Bicycle parking requirements for multifamily residential use are 1 space per bedroom, of which 60% must be enclosed. For office/retail use, 1 space is required for each 4,000 square feet Complies Packet pg. 15 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 12 of 24 Back to Top Parking Space Requirements (minimum of 4 spaces). The PDP proposes 96 bedrooms and 7,736 square feet of office/retail space. The total number of bicycle parking spots required for this PDP is 100. • The project exceeds the standards by providing 103 bicycle parking spaces. • 63 spaces (61%) are enclosed; the remaining 40 spaces are a mixture of wall- and ground-mounted exterior bicycle racks. 3.2.2(K)(2) – Nonresidential Parking Requirements Vehicle parking requirements in the TOD Overlay Zone range from .75 spaces for studio or one- bedroom units to 1.5 spaces for 4-bedroom units. It is important to note that affordable housing projects in the TOD Overlay Zone are eligible for reductions in required parking for each unit priced at 60% of Area Median Income (AMI) or below. The parking table included on the site plan summarizes the parking required and provided for this PDP, and includes information about demand mitigation for affordable housing: Three ADA-accessible spaces are required for a parking area of this size (51-75 spaces). One ADA-accessible space is proposed in the parking on level 1 adjacent to the commercial/retail space, and two ADA-accessible spaces are provided in the resident parking on level 2 adjacent to the elevator. Complies 3.2.2(L) – Parking Stall Dimensions Land Use Code Section 3.2.2(L) details parking stall and drive-aisle requirements for parking lots. In general, 90 degree, head-in parking stalls must be 9 feet in width and 19 feet in length. However, the parking provided in this PDP is designed primarily for residents and employees. This qualifies as a “long term” parking use as outlined in Section 3.2.2(L)(3) and permits parking stall dimensions of 8.5 feet in width and 18 feet in length. In long term parking areas, up to 40% of the spaces may be designated as “compact” spaces per Section 3.2.2(L)(2), which can be 8 feet in width and 15 feet in length. Two-way drive aisles must be 24 feet wide. • The proposed project meets the parking stall and drive-aisle dimensions required in the Land Use Code for long term parking areas. • 25 spaces (38%) are proposed as compact spaces. Two compact spaces are located in the parking area on level 1 adjacent to the commercial/retail space. The remainder of the compact spaces are located on level 2. Complies 3.2.3 – Solar Access, Orientation, Shading This Section seeks to ensure that site plan elements (buildings, trees, etc.) do not excessively shade adjacent properties, creating a significant adverse impact upon adjacent property owners. • The shading requirements in Section 3.2.3(E) do not apply in the following high-density zone districts: Downtown, Community Commercial, and Transit-Oriented Development Overlay. N/A 3.2.4 – Site Lighting The photometric plan demonstrates compliance with minimum lighting levels meeting or exceeding code requirements for commercial buildings. Additionally, all proposed lighting is fully shielded and down-directional, meeting color temperature requirements of 3,000K or less. Complies 3.2.5 – Trash and Recycling Enclosures All commercial structures must provide adequately sized, conveniently located and easily accessible area for the waste disposal needs of the development. Complies Packet pg. 16 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 13 of 24 Back to Top • The PDP proposes a system of trash and recycling chutes on each level, which will be collected in a trash room on the ground floor. The size of the trash and recycling containers is adequate to meet the needs of the project. • Trash and recycling will be collected twice per week, to be increased to three times per week if needed. Waste haulers will access the trash room from the parking garage entrance, and dumpsters will be wheeled to a truck in the alley. This system is typical of Downtown infill development, particularly when buildings are adjacent to an alley. B. DIVISION 3.3 – ENGINEERING STANDARDS Applicable Code Standard Summary of Code Requirement and Analysis Staff Findings 3.3.1(C) – Public Sites, Reservations and Dedications An applicant is required to dedicate rights-of-way for public streets, drainage easements and utility easements as needed to serve the area being developed. In cases where any part of an existing road is abutting or within the tract being developed, the applicant must dedicate such additional rights-of-way as may be necessary to increase such roadway to the minimum width required by Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards and the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. • The project will dedicate onsite easements prior to final recordation and as required by the City’s Engineering Department. A five foot utility easement is proposed along Montezuma Fuller Alley from below the second level of the building to address electric requirements. • Comcast, Xcel Energy, and Century Link have indicated their utility needs can be met as the PDP is designed. • The applicant has relocated proposed water meters that were originally proposed to be contained in large vaults under the Remington Street sidewalk to the north side of the building outside of City right-of-way. This relocation better ensures that a utility corridor underneath the Remington Street sidewalk can be preserved, which would otherwise have been compromised by the placement of the vaults under the sidewalk. Complies C. 3.4 ENVIRONMENTAL, NATURAL AREA, RECREATIONAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS The purpose of this Section is to ensure that when property is developed consistent with its zoning designation, the way in which the proposed physical elements of the development plan are designed and arranged on the site will protect the natural habitats and features both on the site and in the vicinity of the site. Applicable Code Standard Summary of Code Requirement and Analysis Staff Findings 3.4.1 – Natural Habitats This section applies if any portion of the development site is within five hundred feet of an area or feature identified as a natural habitat on the City’s Natural Habitats and Features Inventory Map. • No portion of the development site is within five hundred feet of an area or feature on the City’s Natural Habitats and Features Inventory Map. This section does not apply and an Ecological Characterization Study (ECS) was not required. N/A Packet pg. 17 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 14 of 24 Back to Top 3.4.7(B)– Historic Resources on the Development Site and within the Area of Adjacency This section applies if there are any historic resources within the area of adjacency of a proposal. The area of adjacency is measured at 200 feet in all directions from the perimeter of the development site. Any lot or parcel of property shall be considered within the area of adjacency if any portion of such lot or parcel is within the two hundred (200) foot outer boundary. According to the requirements in 3.4.7(B), the following historic resources meet the above requirement and were used for the establishment of the Historic Influence Area, to which the design compatibility standards in 3.4.7(E) apply. Remington Street: • 133 Remington (Equinox Brewing); recent determination of landmark eligibility • 142 Remington; recent determination of landmark eligibility • Poudre Garage, 148 Remington (designated landmark) • McHugh-Andrews House, 202 Remington (designated landmark designed by Montezuma Fuller) Oak Street: • Zoric Cleaners (210 E Oak): recent determination of landmark eligibility S College Avenue: • The 100 Block of S College Avenue is currently undergoing historic survey in conjunction with a grant-funded survey project that will update existing documentation. Existing data indicates that the block consists of a mix of 1 and 2 story commercial buildings, some of which are already formally designated and others that meet the criteria to be designated. The survey project may add additional properties to the list of recognized historic resources. For the purpose of this project review, staff has established that recognition of the scale and character of this block as a whole, with the specific examples of 112 S College (Shanahan Block, designated); 140 S College (Alpert Block, designated), and 146 S College (Bradley Building; requires further evaluation to determine formal eligibility status) provide relevant examples of the individual historic resource building types on the block. E Mountain Avenue: • Kissock Block, 115 E Mountain (designated landmark designed by Montezuma Fuller) The general character of the historic resources includes the following details: Massing/Articulation/Scale: • 1 and 2 stories in height • Narrow in width (25 to 50 foot storefront models) or longer wall planes broken up into more narrow modules (e.g. Poudre Garage, Zoric Cleaners) • Simple rectilinear forms (with exception of McHugh-Andrews House) Materials: • Primary building material is brick in varying shades from blonde to red, primarily traditional running bond but also some Roman brick from later commercial era (see 146 Remington, which features Roman brick in both running bond and stacked design). • McHugh-Andrews House: roughcut sandstone is primary material Fenestration: • Commercial storefronts (older buildings with residential or office units above, featuring vertically oriented, rectangular punched windows) • Vertically oriented, rectangular windows featured in various patterns and groupings • Windows outlined/defined by decorative details and surrounds (arched lintels, transoms, contrasting brick or stone) Design Details: • Range of styles reflecting building type and era (primarily commercial and automotive) Complies Packet pg. 18 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 15 of 24 Back to Top • Mostly flat rooflines with decorative elements at cornices and parapets • Horizontal brick banding also used to provide detail. • Sandstone details (sills, lintels, foundations) The determination of the Landmark Preservation Commission is included below. 1. MEMORANDUM DATE: August 20, 2020 TO: Planning and Zoning Board TH: Paul Sizemore, Interim Director of Community Development & Neighborhood Services Meaghan Overton, Senior City Planner FR: Maren Bzdek, Senior Historic Preservation Planner RE: Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) Findings of Fact and Conclusions Pertaining to Oak 140 As provided for in Land Use Code Section 3.4.7(F), in its consideration of the approval of plans for properties containing or adjacent to designated, eligible or potentially eligible sites, structure, objects or districts, the Decision Maker shall receive, and consider in making its decision, a written recommendation from the Landmark Preservation Commission. This memorandum contains the Landmark Preservation Commission’s Findings of Fact and its motion for this project. At its August 19, 2020 Regular Meeting, the Landmark Preservation Commission conducted a review of this development project. The Landmark Preservation Commission adopted the following motion on a vote of 6- 0: “That the Landmark Preservation Commission recommend to the Decision Maker approval of Oak 140, finding it complies with the standards contained in Land Use Code section 3.4.7, Table 1 that create design compatibility between existing historic resources and infill projects.” Highlights from the Commission’s discussion: • Project feels integrated with its historic context and complements the surrounding historic buildings • Stepbacks are well done and feel unforced, like a natural extension of the overall massing • Building width has been appropriately broken up into smaller modules that are compatible with historic pattern of building modularity • One Commission member asked the design team to look more carefully at overall transitions from brick to other materials, to fulfill the intent to project building mass rather than a veneer effect • Applicant team responded directly to all conceptual review comments provided by the LPC regarding the relationship of design details and fenestration to the historic context • Chair requested that the Planning and Zone Board be notified that the project not only meets, but exceeds the code in some areas Packet pg. 19 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 16 of 24 Back to Top D. 3.5 – BUILDING STANDARDS The purpose of this Section is to ensure that the physical and operational characteristics of proposed buildings and uses are compatible when considered within the context of the surrounding area. Applicable Code Standard Summary of Code Requirement and Analysis Staff Findings 3.5.1(A) and (B) – Building Project and Compatibility, Purpose and General Standard This section is designed to ensure compatibility of new buildings with the surrounding context. Absent any established character, the standard requires that new buildings set an enhanced standard of quality for future projects or redevelopment in the area. The standards in this section are intended to complement the more specific requirements in Article 4, which are addressed in Section 6 of this report. Overall, staff finds that the design of the building will be compatible with the existing Downtown context and, more specifically, with the context of the Historic Core subdistrict. The analysis and determination from the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) under Section 3.4.7 contribute to staff’s finding of compliance under this code section. Complies 3.5.1 (C)– Building Size, Height, Bulk, Mass, Scale Buildings shall either be similar in size and height or, if larger, be articulated and subdivided into massing that is proportional to the mass and scale of other structures, if any, on the same block face, abutting or adjacent to the subject property, opposing block face or cater-corner block face at the nearest intersection. • The proposed building design includes commercial/retail storefronts on the ground level that are broken up into storefront modules to approximate the historic context of narrow storefronts between 25-50 feet. The entries to the ground floor retail/commercial spaces are recessed, which also mirrors the design of many Downtown businesses. On upper levels, stepbacks at the third and fifth levels break up the mass of the building. • Heavier materials (brick, stone) predominate on levels 1-3, and lighter materials (metal) reduce the feeling of mass on levels 3-5, particularly when combined with the upper- story stepbacks. Complies 3.5.1 (D)– Privacy Considerations Elements of the development plan shall be arranged to maximize the opportunity for privacy by the residents of the project and minimize infringement on the privacy of adjoining land uses. • The location of the resident amenity space on the third level maximizes privacy for residents of the building, as there are no buildings immediately to the south of the proposed PDP. This orientation of the resident amenity space also protects the privacy of adjoining land uses by locating an active outdoor space away from the main entrances of other properties and the patio of the existing brewery to the north. • There are no balconies proposed on the upper levels of the building, which further reinforces the privacy of adjoining land uses. Complies 3.5.1 (E)– Building Materials This section addresses building materials, glare, and windows. Building materials shall either be similar to the materials already being used in the neighborhood or, if dissimilar materials are being proposed, other characteristics such as scale and proportions, form, architectural detailing, color and texture, shall be utilized to ensure that enough similarity exists for the building to be compatible, despite the differences in materials. • The primary building material in this part of Downtown is brick in varying shades from blonde to red. The light-colored brick proposed on the first two levels (and portions of the third level) of the building is compatible with this context, and the detailing of the brick adds further visual interest at the pedestrian level. The choice to extend the brick façade on the southwest and northeast corners of the building create a cohesive street wall where the building meets existing Downtown structures. • The metal proposed for the upper stories is a matte finish that is not expected to create excessive glare. In addition, the metal proposed is located on upper levels of the building. Because the first 2-3 levels of the building are proposed to be constructed of brick and stucco, pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers are unlikely to be impacted by glare. • Windows at the ground level are commercial storefronts featuring vertically oriented, rectangular punched windows. The fenestration is enhanced with changes in the brick Complies Packet pg. 20 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 17 of 24 Back to Top pattern that add a level of decorative detail. On upper levels, windows on the brick facades continue the level of detail from the ground floor. • The predominately flat rooflines of the area are reflected in the building design. Detail is added through horizontal brick banding, decorative metal features, the planters along the second level, and the stucco mural motif. 3.5.1 (F)– Building Color Color shades shall be used to facilitate blending into the neighborhood and unifying the development. The color shades of building materials shall draw from the range of color shades that already exist on the block or in the adjacent neighborhood. • The light-colored brick and bronze storefront windows blend well into the existing area. • The mural motif proposed in various places around the building creates a cohesive link to Downtown’s improved alleys, where murals and public art are a recurring design element. Complies 3.5.1 (G)– Building Height Review The purpose of this Section is to establish a special process to review buildings or structures that exceed forty (40) feet in height. Its intent is to encourage creativity and diversity of architecture and site design within a context of harmonious neighborhood planning and coherent environmental design, to protect access to sunlight, to preserve desirable views and to define and reinforce downtown and designated activity centers. • A shadow analysis showing impacts throughout the year was conducted for this project and is included as an attachment to this report. • Access for the proposed building is taken off Remington Street to the north of the building. This creates separation between the building and existing properties, which helps improve access to sunlight and reduce the impact of shadows. • The existing brewery to the north is the structure most shadowed by the proposed building. On fall evenings and in the afternoon/evening during the winter, this property will be shaded. This is not uncommon in a dense, Downtown context – particularly when older, smaller buildings are located near infill and redevelopment projects. • This code section intends to reinforce Downtown and other activity centers (i.e. Midtown) as areas where taller buildings are appropriate. Section 3.5.1(G)(1)(c) allows decision makers to increase or decrease building heights for a number of reasons. Particularly relevant to this PDP, the Section allows for increases in building height to encourage “maximum utilization of activity centers.” Complies 3.5.1 (H)– Land Use Transition, 3.5.1 (I)– Outdoor Storage Areas and 3.5.1 (J)– Operational and Physical Compatibility The remaining elements of Section 3.5.1 address potential compatibility issues that can arise when different uses are proposed near or adjacent to one another. These sections require separation of incompatible uses through the implementation of buffer yards, careful location of loading docks and storage areas, and restriction on hours of operation among other techniques. • These sections do not apply to the proposed PDP. The uses proposed – residential, office, and retail – are compatible with the existing mix of uses in the Downtown zone, the Historic Core subdistrict, and the surrounding neighborhood. N/A 3.5.3- Mixed- Use, Institutional and Commercial Buildings These standards are intended to promote the design of an urban environment that is built to human scale. Mixed-use and nonresidential buildings shall provide significant architectural interest and shall not have a single, large, dominant building mass. The street level shall be designed to comport with a pedestrian scale in order to establish attractive street fronts and walkways. • The proposed PDP complies with the standards in this code section. The previous analysis of compliance with Section 3.4.7 (Historic and Cultural Resources) and Section 3.5.1 (Building and Project Compatibility) provide many helpful references for evaluating compliance with Section 3.5.3. • Overall, the elements incorporated into this proposal to maximize compatibility also create a project that provides significant architectural interest and comports with a pedestrian scale. A summary of key points follows. Complies 3.5.3(C)- Building Orientation At least one (1) main entrance of any commercial or mixed-use building shall face and open directly onto a connecting walkway with pedestrian frontage. Complies Packet pg. 21 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 18 of 24 Back to Top • All entrances to the building face and open directly onto either Remington Street (for the residential portion of the project) or Oak Street (for the commercial portion of the project). • The build-to lines in this section are less specific than the street frontage requirements in the Downtown Zone, Section 4.16. The more specific requirements apply, so build-to lines are evaluated in Section 6 of this report. 3.5.3(D)- Building Massing A single, large, dominant building mass shall be avoided in new buildings and, to the extent reasonably feasible, in development projects involving changes to the mass of existing buildings. • Recesses, projections, and variations in massing are incorporated on all sides of the building. The massing changes are related to the function and structure of the building, which complies with this standard Complies 3.5.3(E)- Character and Image Building design shall contribute to the uniqueness of a zone district, and/or the Fort Collins community with predominant materials, elements, features, color range and activity areas tailored specifically to the site and its context. • The requirements in this section for building materials, massing and articulation, and entrances reinforce the importance of context-sensitive design. As addressed above in evaluation of Sections 3.4.7 and Section 3.5.1, the proposed PDP has tailored the building design to the specific site and context. Complies E. 3.6 TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION This Section is intended to ensure that the transportation network of streets, alleys, roadways and trails is in conformance with adopted transportation plans and policies established by the City. Applicable Code Standard Summary of Code Requirement and Analysis Staff Findings 3.6.2 – Streets, Streetscapes, Alleys and Easements and 3.6.3 – Street Pattern and Connectivity Standards This Section is intended to ensure that the various components of the transportation network are designed and implemented in a manner that promotes the health, safety and welfare of the City. The City’s Traffic Operations and Engineering Departments have reviewed this PDP and find that the proposal meets requirements in this section. In particular: • The reconstruction of the sidewalks along Remington Street and Oak Street will correct existing deficiencies to the sidewalk grade along both streets to ensure meeting City and The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. • The proposed placement of encroachments (planters, benches, etc.) onto the Remington Street and Oak Street sidewalks still provide ample sidewalk width for City and ADA compliance. Complies 3.6.4 – Transportation Level of Service Requirements The project was required to complete a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) memo to evaluate its impact on the transportation system. It has been reviewed and conclusions accepted by the City. Since the project is in downtown with fully built vehicular infrastructure, is in a pedestrian priority area, and there is an anticipated high percentage of mode split (pedestrians) for residents living in the units, the emphasis of the study was to review pedestrian and bicycle Levels of Service (LOS). The TIS recommended implementation of a concrete 'bulb-out' at the pedestrian crossing of Remington at Oak Street, on the southeast corner of the proposed PDP site. A bulbout shortens the crossing distance, allows both pedestrians and crosswalk signage to be more visible, maintains parking, and significantly improves the pedestrian Level of Service. It has been determined that this improvement will be funded by the Downtown General Improvement District (GID) in 2021 and will be coordinated with the construction of this PDP if approved. With this improvement, the project is determined to have mitigated its impact on the transportation system and meets vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian levels of service in all areas where the project has control. Complies Packet pg. 22 Planning & Zoning Board Hearing - Agenda Item 1 PDP 200009 | Oak 140 Thursday, September 3, 2020 | Page 19 of 24 Back to Top 3.6.5 – Bus Stop Design Standards This Section ensures that new development adequately accommodates existing and planned transit service by integrating facilities designed and located appropriately for transit into the development plan. • There are no bus stops located adjacent to the site, so these standards do not apply. N/A 3.6.6 – Emergency Access This section is intended to ensure that emergency vehicles can gain access to, and maneuver within, the project so that emergency personnel can provide fire protection and emergency services without delays. The plan demonstrates the appropriate on-site emergency access easement in compliance with the 2018 International Fire Code. A portion of Montezuma Fuller Alley adjacent to the proposed building and the access easement to the north of the site will be dedicated as an emergency access easement to comply with Fire Code standards. Prior to approval of a Final Development Plan (FDP), the applicant will need to submit a plan to the fire marshal for approval of “alternative means and methods” to meet aerial apparatus requirements.

Montezuma Fuller Alley is adjacent to the site on the west serving properties along Remington Street as well as properties that face College Avenue. There is a shared access drive on the north side of the building site that separates the property from Equinox, a local brewery, tap house and music venue. The project site is 25,330 square feet or 0.581 acres, which now includes the parcel located at 143 Remington St. The property was first developed in 1907 as a Fort Collins branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA). In 1939, the building was purchased for use as the Fort Collins Elks Lodge. The Elks Lodge underwent many architectural changes over the years and the building was eventually demolished in 2012. For the past eight years, the property has remained vacant.

Proposed Land Use Housing Catalyst is a Fort Collins, mission-driven real estate developer that designs, builds and serves communities with homes that are affordable in Northern Colorado. In partnership with the DDA, Housing Catalyst is proposing to build 79 affordable dwellings in a mixed-use building that will include general office and/or retail space on the ground floor, as well as outdoor amenity spaces. This new downtown community is true to the missions of both the DDA and Housing Catalyst — being good stewards of their neighborhoods, creating communities that benefit all, and building community while inspiring change. It also aligns with priorities of the City Council and Chamber of Commerce: creating affordable housing in a highly desirable location. It’s a unique affordable community targeting people who ar e part of the downtown workforce. The first floor will contain commercial and office spaces, which will be maintained and owned by the DDA. The second floor will be a parking garage with three floors of apartments above that. Housing Catalyst will form a tax credit partnership to develop, own, and manage the housing.

Placing the primary parking entrance off this shared drive meets code requirements. It also maximizes the 1st level store frontage along Remington St, Oak St, and Montezuma Fuller Alley, which aligns with the context of the su rrounding neighborhood. Additional parking to support the commercial spaces will be located on the gro und-floor and will be accessed from Montezuma Fuller Alley. As part of this project, the existing trash enclosure servicing businesses along Montezuma Fuller Alley will be relocated to the northwest corner of the p roperty. This enclosure will continue to be owned and managed by the DDA. The proposed building will include a trash room for the trash and recycling needs of the building’s tenants and residents, which will contain four 3-yard dumpsters for trash and recycling.

The four residential units on level one will each have a raised patio space facing Remington street. Access to these units will be through the main residential lobby, with no direct access to each unit from Remington St. The 2nd story will contain the primary parking garage for the building, and an additional parking area will be located on the ground floor. Note that underground parking was explored; however, the specific site logistics and configuration make this option cost prohibitive. A 3rd level terrace will be provided as any amenity space for residents and tenants of the building. Site furnishings, raised planters, and special paving designs will also be incorporat ed into the streetscape to activate the intersection at Oak and Remington. The design of the site and architecture will embody the enthusiasm that our team holds to provide downtown Fort Collins with a well-executed affordable housing project through the use of imaginative forms and materials. This design has been materialized through the intent of complementing the surrounding neighborhood while sparking curiosity and imagination for what we believe will be a wonderful addition to our community. Through multiple neighborhood outreach efforts, conceptual review meetings with City staff, and a meeting with the Landmark Preservation Commission, the building has evolved into what is shown today. To address massing compatibility, an averaged stepback of at least 10’ will occur along both Remington and Oak Streets at the 3rd level which will provide an appropriate scale transition to opposing blocks. Additional stepbacks will be provided at the 5th story in two locations – at the northeast corner of the building facing Remington St. and at th e southwest corner of the building facing Oak St. We believe this exceeds the expectations of LUC Section 4.16(C)(3)(a): Stepbacks may be continuous or may vary with a twenty (20) foot stepback counting towards the calculation of the required ten (10) foot average. The proposed building will be fully sprinklered using a NFPA13 sprinkler system. In addition, our team has confirmed that the minimum requirements for fire flow of 1500 gpm at 20 psi are met, and can provide additional documentation upon request. Site Drainage and Stormwater Treatment   Detention will not be provided on site as is typical for Old Town District redevelopments. The site currently drains via sheet flow to the east, and disch arges into Remington Street through a sidewalk chase and into the curb. The drainage design will utilize the existing 30-inch storm lateral which is connected from an existing Oak Street inlet on the south side of the site. Storm water runoff will be treated through LID planter beds loc ated on the 3rd level terrace, and will be designed to meet the City’s criteria to the maximum extent possible.

Utilizing national best practices and tools developed specifically for affordable housing development, Housing Catalyst traditionally works to uncover any key issues and stakeholder desires at the beginning of the process. With a long-standing reputation for quality and transparent public outreach, we are proud to continue this commitment for Oak 140. The strategy to involve the community in the planning and design process is underway. Over the past few months, Housing Catalyst, the DDA and Shopworks Architecture have jointly conducted numerous individual and small group stakeholder meetings via Zoom. Beginning with the most direct stakeholder, the owner of 143 Remington, the effort began with a tour of Housing Catalyst’s most recently completed development at Village on Horsetooth. Following the tour, a number of sit-down meetings allowed the team to gain valuable historical information as well as hear a variety of current contexts and listen to any concerns and key considerations. With design underway, the team now maintains a regular bi-weekly meeting to secure regular feedback and maintain ongoing communication with this key stake holder. In addition, the team created a map and matrix of all surroundi ng property owners to schedule meetings with as many owners as possible. To date, the Development Team has hosted eight individual and small group meetings (in addition to the regular meetings with 143 Remington Owner), and provided an update to the DDA Board of Directors on May 14, 2020. The small group format allowed for detailed review of the site plan and a rchitecture while also gaining valuable feedback about the project. Each meeting also created the opportunity to form relationships and build community around a shared passion for downtown Fort Collins. In addition to the project outreach underway, Oak 140 is the culmination of years of community outreach efforts. The Downtown Development Authority hosted a m ulti-day charrette in 2016 to hear from downtown stakeholders and community members about their interests, concerns, and vision for the property at 140 E Oak Street. It became evident through that process that there was a significant need and desire for affordable housing for people working in and around downtown. In March 2017, the City of Fort Collins adopted the Downtown Plan. The Plan describes a renewed vision and policy direction for the future of downtown. “Thousands of people shared their dreams for the future of Downtown, and the renewed vision presented in this Plan reflects a community conversation about how we want to guide the next stages of Downtown’s success.” (Downtown Plan Executive Summary, 2017). This community conversation resulted in several relevant policies, including additional housing and more housing types downtown and higher density and quality building design. The proposal by Housing Catalyst and the DDA to bring forward a mixed-use project with ground-floor commercial space and 79 affordable apartments in a beautifully designed building is a specific effort to implement the community’s vision.

Policy ENV 6.6 - LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT Pursue and implement Low Impact Development (LID) as an effective approach to address stormwater quality and impacts to streams by urbanization. LID is a comprehensive land planning and engineering design approach with a goal of minimizing the impact of development on urban watersheds through the use of various techniques aimed at mimicking predevelopment hydrology. The project will creatively implement LID methods on an urban site through the use of a third level rain garden with the goal of reducing the project’s impact on the environment while creating an educational and welcoming space. NEIGHBORHOOD LIVABILITY AND SOCIAL HEALTH Policy LIV 2.2 - PRIORITY LOCATIONS FOR INFILL AND REDEVELOPMENT Ensure appropriate use of the City’s public investments in infrastructure/improvements in the following areas to achieve the City’s strategic goals: » Downtown District; » Urban Mixed-Use Districts; » Mixed-Employment Districts; and » Metro Districts. Make regulatory and other incentives, within the City’s control, available only to projects that are consistent with the long- term vision for these districts in terms of density, intensity, overall mix of uses and affordability. Oak 140 is centrally located with the Downtown. The development of this project will fill a large vacancy within the Old Town historic district and generally improved the streetscape and urban feel at this highly visible corner. Policy LIV 2.3 - TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Require higher-density housing and mixed-use development in loc ations that are currently, or will be, served by BRT and/or high-frequency transit in the future as infill and redevelopment occurs. Promote a variety of housing options for all income lev els. Policy LIV 3.6 - CONTEXT-SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT Ensure that all development contributes to the positive character of the surrounding area. Building materials, architectural details, color range, building massing, and relationships to streets and sidewalks should be tailored to the surrounding are a. The building is being designed with architectural compatibility in mind. Building forms and materials respect and fit into the architectural character of the area without replicating historic facades.

The landscape design on Oak 140 will consider principles of native species selection, low water- use, and low maintenance are design into the layout. This will ensure a maintained aesthetic quality with both summer color and also winter interest. Policy T 7.2 - SAFE PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES Develop safe and secure pedestrian settings by developing and m aintaining an appropriately lit pedestrian network, enforcing snow removal on sidewalks adjacent to residential properties and mitigating the impacts of vehicles. Connections will be clearly visible and accessible, incorporating markings, signage, lighting and paving materials. Safety is a concern that will be addressed with high importance at Oak 140. The impacts between pedestrians and vehicles are greatly reduced by placing the main parking entrance off of a private drive to the north of the building and away from the alley. Safety and visibility will also be considered with the planting design, strategically placed lighting, and within the parking structure. Policy T 7.4 - PEDESTRIAN CONNECTIONS Provide direct and visible pedestrian connections between cul-de-sacs, transit stops, schools, activity areas, public facilities, recreational trails and other key pedestrian destinations. At the very low-income level, m any of the residents at Oak 140 will not own automobiles. The location of Oak 140 was specifically chosen as it will promote the use of alternative transportation with its proximity of the MAX and nearby amenities and best serve the transit- dependent residents. Policy T 9.4 - HEALTHY TRANSPORTATION CHOICES Develop travel demand programs that support and promote active transportation choices. Policy T 7.1 - PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES Implement ADA-accessible pedestrian facilities as detailed in t he Pedestrian Plan and Sidewalk Prioritization Program. It is anticipated that many of the resident will walk, bike and utilize the MAX and other forms of alternative transportation due to the proximity to amenities, workplaces, and surrounding nearby services.

Reason for Request The ground floor footprint of the proposed building respects all required building setbacks from both Oak and Remington streets as well as Montezuma Fuller Alley. On the west elevation of the building, along Montezuma Fuller Alley, it became infeasible to provide the 5-foot setback at the second-floor parking level, approximately 11’-6” above the finished grade. Early in the design process, underground parking was proposed, however, it was shown to be inefficient and cost prohibitive. The design solution that enables the project to meet parking requirements cost effectively and efficiently is to allocate the second floor as a parking garage for the project. The layout of the parking structure with its precise requirements for parking bay dimensions requires that the building façade on the west second through fifth floors encroach into the 5-foot setback. Justification The Land Use Code states that the decision-maker may grant a modification of standards if the decision-maker finds that the granting of the modification would not be detrimental to the public good and that it meets one of four justification criteria. We believe that the project as proposed meets Criterion (2) below: The granting of a modification from the strict application of any standard would, without impairing the intent and purpose of this Land Use Code, substantially alleviate an existing, defined and described problem of city-wide concern or would result in a substantial benefit to the city by reason of the fact that the proposed project would substantially address an important community need specifically and expressly defined and described in the city's Comprehensive Plan or in an adopted policy, ordinance or resolution of the City Council, and the strict application of such a standard would render the project practically infeasible. ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 8 Packet pg. 71 MINIMAL RISK. PAINLESS PROCESS. BEAUTIFUL SPACES. o: 970.224.5828 | w: ripleydesigninc.com RIPLEY DESIGN, INC.|419 Canyon Avenue, Suite 200 |Fort Collins, CO 80521 The proposed project is an affordable housing community that will result in a substantial benefit to the City. It is designed to address the critical need for affordable rental housing in the community. The need for affordable housing is defined in City Plan and the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan. The 2015 adopted Affordable Housing Strategic Plan sets the goal to have 6% of Fort Collins housing stock be comprised of affordable housing (defined as housing for residents earning 80% AMI or less), increasing to 10% beyond 2020. Currently, the City is hundreds of units short of meeting this goal. One of the top identified pillars is to increase the inventory of affordable rental units. The opportunity to provide affordable housing for 79 households is a significant step towards addressing this important community need and provides a substantial benefit to these individuals and the community as a whole. As the developer of the affordable housing component, Housing Catalyst will be utilizing 4% Federal and State Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to develop the project. The LIHTC equity is the most critical component of the project financing. The LIHTC program has specific requirements and associated costs. There is a general economy of scale that is necessary to make LIHTC projects feasible. The most recent reports tell us that the average size of a 4% LIHTC project in Colorado is 114 units. In general, projects that are closer to 100 units are more viable, stable, and cost effective when utilizing the 4% LIHTC program. When approaching the programming for Oak 140, the team wanted to maximize the density and efficiency of the project while also balancing the size, height, parking needs, and cost of the building. It is not feasible to achieve the necessary number of units in a building less than five stories in height. The only way to avoid encroaching into the alley setback at the second level would be to move the parking from the second-floor podium to an underground format or reduce the number of parking by approximately 12 stalls. The underground parking option was problematic because of the risk of water infiltration, increased duration of construction activity and costs associated with mitigating water underground, and constructing the parking underground. Since the design of the parking garage utilizes the minimum dimensions allowed for parking stalls and drive aisles, the other option would require the loss of an entire row of parking, or 12 stalls. This would reduce the off-street parking provided below that which is required and would add undue burden to the limited on-street parking areas beyond the 140 E Oak property. The setback at the ground level along the alley varies from 5 feet to 9.5 feet and is enhanced in a variety of ways. Glass storefront windows wrap the corner of Oak Street and the start of Montezuma Fuller Alley, creating an upscale inviting entrance to the alley. A west side building entrance, planters, bicycle parking, pedestrian lighting and colorful murals expand the eclectic feel of the existing alley, making it a comfortable and interesting space. The fact that the second story comes out over the setback area adds the advantage of weather protection. ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 8 Packet pg. 72 MINIMAL RISK. PAINLESS PROCESS.

Reason for Request Housing Catalyst and the DDA are committed to helping achieve the City of Fort Collins goals for affordable housing. In order to build 79 affordable housing units with ground floor commercial space and adequate parking on the site at 140 E Oak St, a modification for building height is being requested. The proposed site and building design strive to balance Fort Collins’ Land Use Code requirements with the overall goals of the City Plan, particularly in the aspect of providing affordable housing and density. The original building proposal at Conceptual Review proposed 6 stories. Fortunately, the DDA and Housing Catalyst were able to negotiate the purchase of the adjacent building on the north. The acquisition of the additional property allowed the project to become more efficient and be reduced to 5 stories instead of 6 while still meeting project goals and objectives. The height of the building measured to the top of the roof is 57’-9”, just 1’-9” above the 56-foot height limit in the Historic Core Area. Justification The Land Use Code Section 2.8.2(H) states that the decision-maker may grant a modification of standards if the decision-maker finds that the granting of the modification would not be detrimental to the public good and that it meets one of four justification criteria. We believe that the project as proposed meets Criterion (2) and (4), which are further explained below. ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet pg. 74 MINIMAL RISK. PAINLESS PROCESS. BEAUTIFUL SPACES. o: 970.224.5828 | w: ripleydesigninc.com RIPLEY DESIGN, INC. | 419 Canyon Avenue, Suite 200 | Fort Collins, CO 80521 (2) The granting of a modification from the strict application of any standard would, without impairing the intent and purpose of this Land Use Code, substantially alleviate an existing, defined and described problem of city-wide concern or would result in a substantial benefit to the city by reason of the fact that the proposed project would substantially address an important community need specifically and expressly defined and described in the city's Comprehensive Plan or in an adopted policy, ordinance or resolution of the City Council, and the strict application of such a standard would render the project practically infeasible. The proposed project is an affordable housing community that will result in a substantial benefit to the City. It is designed to address the critical need for affordable rental housing in the community. The need for affordable housing is defined in City Plan and the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan. The 2015 adopted Affordable Housing Strategic Plan sets the goal to have 6% of Fort Collins housing stock be comprised of affordable housing (defined as housing for residents earning 80% AMI or less), increasing to 10% beyond 2020. Currently, the City is hundreds of units short of meeting this goal. One of the top identified pillars is to increase the inventory of affordable rental units. The opportunity to provide affordable housing for 79 households is a significant step towards addressing this important community need and provides a substantial benefit to these individuals and the community as a whole. As the developer of the affordable housing component, Housing Catalyst will be utilizing 4% Federal and State Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to develop the project. The LIHTC equity is the most critical component of the project financing. The LIHTC program has specific requirements and associated costs. There is a general economy of scale that is necessary to make LIHTC projects feasible. The most recent reports tell us that the average size of a 4% LIHTC project in Colorado is 114 units. In general, projects that are closer to 100 units are more viable, stable, and cost effective when utilizing the 4% LIHTC program. When approaching the programming for Oak 140, the team wanted to maximize the density and efficiency of the project while also balancing the size, height, parking needs, activation of the ground floor, and cost of the building. It is not feasible to achieve the necessary number of units in a building less than five stories in height. The only way to have fewer stories would be to move the parking from the second-floor podium to an underground format or reduce the number of units from 79 to 53 by eliminating the 5th floor. The underground parking option was problematic because of the risk of water infiltration, increased duration of construction activity and costs associated with constructing the parking and mitigating water underground. The other option to eliminate the 5th floor does not yield enough units to make the project viable. The proposed 5-story building is the plan that best meets the goals of the project - to deliver the greatest amount of affordable housing that is feasible, while embracing high quality design that recognizes and is sensitive to the surrounding community.

BEAUTIFUL SPACES. o: 970.224.5828 | w: ripleydesigninc.com RIPLEY DESIGN, INC. | 419 Canyon Avenue, Suite 200 | Fort Collins, CO 80521 (4) The plan as submitted will not diverge from the standards of the Land Use Code that are authorized by this Division to be modified except in a nominal, inconsequential way when considered from the perspective of the entire development plan, and will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code as contained in Section 1.2.2. The proposed building will have a maximum height of 57’-9”, as measured from the average of the finished ground level at the center of all walls to the highest point of the roof surface per LUC Section 3.8.17(A). This additional 1’-9” results in an overall height increase of just 3% beyond the code requirements, but affords the opportunity to provide the community with an additional 26 affordable housing units than if the 5th story was removed. Taking into consideration the historic significance of Downtown Fort Collins and the need for integrative design, Shopworks Architecture has carefully shaped the exterior facade of Oak 140 to blend seamlessly into its surroundings. The use of stepbacks on both Oak St. and Remington St. help facilitate a smooth transition between Oak 140 and surrounding buildings. Additionally, the choice of exterior materials help ground the building. Brick, an esthetically heavy material, is used at the lower levels, while the lighter metal panels are used for the upper stories. This helps to diminish the perceived height of the building, while at the same time creating space for both historic and modern architectural expression. The project as a whole will certainly advance the purpose statement of the Land Use Code as outlined in Section 1.2.2. In particular, the project as proposed will directly contribute to the following Criterion listed in Section 1.2.2: (A) ensuring that all growth and development which occurs is consistent with this Code, City Plan and its adopted components, including, but not limited to, the Structure Plan, Principles and Policies and associated sub-area plans. • The proposed use for the multi-family building will be consistent with the City Plan goals to provide affordable housing. (F) encouraging patterns of land use which decrease trip length of automobile travel and encourage trip consolidation. • The anticipated residents of the multi-family building will be those within our community who work in Old Town, thus reducing the need for the use of automobiles. (L) encouraging the development of vacant properties within established areas. ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet pg. 76 MINIMAL RISK. PAINLESS PROCESS.

The project as proposed offers an efficient use of space for one of the few remaining vacant lots in Old Town. (O) encouraging a wide variety of housing opportunities at various densities that are well- served by public transportation for people of all ages and abilities. • The Downtown District is currently underserved from an affordable housing standpoint, and this project will go a long way to provide housing in this area to a wider demographic.

ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 11 Packet pg. 94 140 E. Oak Neighborhood Meeting Zoom Virtual Meeting June 9, 2020 33 attendees (including City staff and applicant team); estimate 15 residents in attendance Meeting Topic: Housing Catalyst and the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) are proposing the development of a building with commercial space and 78 affordable housing units. They are requesting two modifications: • Increase height of building by two stories to 6 stories (71 feet); D zone in this area allows 4 stories (56 feet) • Bring building up to property line at the second story along the alley; required setback from alley is 5 feet. Setback would be met on first level. Meeting Summary: The meeting was well-attended and most participants were able to ask their questions to the applic ant before the meeting ended. Q&A primarily focused on building height, suitability of the location for affordable housing units, concerns about lack of fit with the character of downtown, and parking. Most participants were against the project as proposed, but some attendees supported the inclusion of affordable housing in the downtown area. Next Steps: The next official step in the process is for the applicant to go before the Landmark Preservation Commission for review. Once the project has been submitted and reviewed by City staff, the application will be presented to P&Z for a decision. The following pages contain more detailed notes on the meting proceedings. As of June 16th, we are still waiting for some responses from the applicant before finalizing the notes for the meeting. Staff Presentation: ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 12 Packet pg. 95 Site information: •Approximately .5 acres •Intersection of E. Oak and Remington Streets •Mix of uses in the area including commercial, restaurant, residential, retail Zoning: •Downtown (D) Zone, Historic Core Subdistrict •D Zone is intended for a concentration of employment, cultural, entertainment, housing uses to create a vibrant downtown area Two Modifications Requested: •Increase height of building by two stories to 6 stories (71 feet); D zone in this area allows 4 stories (56 feet) •Bring building up to property line at the second story along the alley; required setback from alley is 5 feet. Setback would be met on first level. •Staff will analyze the modifications against the criteria in the land use code. Must find that the modification is not detrimental to the public good and that it meets one or more of the criteria in the code: o As good or better than a plan that meets the standard o Substantially alleviates a defined community need o There is an exceptional and unique hardship o The plan deviates in a nominal or inconsequential way from the standard Applicant Presentation: Site acquired by DDA in 2008, building demolished in 2012, has since been vacant . DDA engagement and outreach: found a need for affordable housing for downtown workers. This project is a partnership between Housing Catalyst and DDA. About Housing Catalyst: •Founded in 1971, quasi-governmental entity •City’s Housing Authority •Covers wide range of housing from homelessness to home ownership, this project serves up to 80% Area Median Income (AMI) •First time DDA and HC have partnered together on a project •Currently own and manage over 1,000 apartments in Fort Collins Proposal: •Ground-floor commercial space owned and managed by DDA; office most likely •2nd floor parking •78 affordable apartments on floors 3-6, mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units o 3 studio o 57 one-bedroom ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 12 Packet pg. 96 o 18 two-bedroom • Terrace on 3rd level with community room, fitness room • 54 parking spaces, 109 bike parking spaces The project aligns with the Downtown Plan and community priorities for affordable housing. This site has been identified as high potential for infill and redevelopment and fits guidance of Downtown Plan for increased density and intensity in key locations. The project will help achieve affordable housing goals and aligns with Council priorities for affordable rental housing. The project is targeted to people working in and around the Downtown area, making 30-80% AMI. That equates to $20,000-$52,0000 per year for an individual Architecture: • Inspiration from neighborhood, downtown context, and materials used in contemporary urban architecture • Looked at public art around the site, want this project to contribute to that • Hundertwasser inspired elements on the northeast corner of the building (fire wall) • Shared renderings from several perspectives along Oak and Remington streets Questions: Q: Given the goal is affordable housing for the downtown workforce, will there be a requirement t o work downtown in order to live there? A: (Applicant) That’s a great question. No requirement, have to comply with fair housing standards. We will be doing marketing and outreach with business owners to reach people who work downtown, but we can’t limit housing only to downtown workers. Q: What other similar projects have you done in Fort Collins? A: (Applicant) This will be the first mixed-use building for Housing Catalyst; partners on the team have experience in mixed use development. Q: Why six stories in a four-story zone? A: (Applicant) That’s a good question. In order to achieve the number of apartments that make sense and meet parking; first looked at underground parking to bring height of building down. But the way the building would need to be designed only allowed for 32 parking spaces and increased construction risk. Wanted to keep first floor activated with commercial space. Best solution that met goals for affordable housing, active pedestrian level, and parking was for it to be a six-story building. A: (Applicant) Elevations credit union is 5 stories, Elizabeth Hotel is 5 stories, Uncommon is 5 stories – there is context for this building height. 6 stories reads differently in this building. Q: Elevations has 4 stories A: (Applicant) There is a 5th story penthouse ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 12 Packet pg. 97 Q: So the majority of it is 4 stories, yes or no? Does it go over 56 feet? Q: Want to know if this is a TIF (tax increment financing) district? A: (Applicant) The DDA is a TIF, and has been since 1981. So yes, the site is in a TIF district. But there is not TIF that will be generated from this project. We’re using proceeds from private funding to invest in this partnership. Q: Are any tax breaks being offered to the developer? A: (Applicant) No tax breaks, there are tax credits that help with financing. Housing Catalyst is a tax- exempt entity. Financing tool we utilize is the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). Q: What happened to the titanium? A: (Applicant) Not off the table, but need to think about budget. Q: What if parking structure on Remington could add a story of parking and eliminate the story of parking here and take the building height down? A: (Applicant) That has actually been looked at, and it was not designed to add additional stories to it. Q: Have you thought about doing something 3-D instead of 2-D on the mural wall? Extruded metal, LED light show... A: (Applicant) Have looked at some of that. Still exploring options for that wall. We appreciate the ideas. Q: Have you looked at using a more red brick instead of creamy color? A: (Applicant) We have. Looked at it both ways. Liked blonder brick for lightness. Q: Live on Oak, and we’re interested in knowing what we can expect in terms of road shutdowns and how long construction is anticipated to take. A: (Applicant) Construction timeline is approx 16 months, give or take (weather, deliveries can impact timeline). Work hand-in-hand with Housing Catalyst and Shopworks on building design. Road shutdowns come and go. Want to have the least amount of impact as possible during construction. A: (Applicant) We’ve gotten a lot of constructability questions. Thinking about things like weekly newsletters, communication about big deliveries or presence of cranes. We know this is a tight site and ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 12 Packet pg. 98 want to be good neighbors. One of the reason we selected I-Kota was their plan about ways they will communicate with neighbors during construction. Q: Why not move this project out of Old Town given our good public transit system? Why this site? A: (Applicant) DDA has owned this site since 2008. Convened a group of stakeholders to explore what this site could potentially produce for downtown. A weeklong conversation. Became clear that affordable housing was a need that kept arising. Growing concern for the downtown area. We had business participants saying it was hard to retain employees, having to live further out of town to afford a place to live. DDA doesn’t own any other significant sites in the Downtown that could be developed in this way. Want to use this property to benefit multiple needs in the community. A: (Applicant) This is a unique opportunity. Not many sites left in downtown that could be developed for affordable housing. City plans and policies encourage a greater diversity of housing in downtown, and this is an opportunity to get it done, Q: Live across the street near Oak and College; why can’t you put 2 stories on the parking lot? Why can’t people use the Max? Can’t find parking on Remington as it is. A: (Applicant) Parking structure was designed in the 1980s and was not intended to be higher. Would be a misuse of public funds to renovate to add 2 stories to that structure. A: (Applicant) Midtown is outside of DDA boundary, only allowed to use our funds in that district. Q: I’m talking about the Remington lot, not the structure A: (Applicant) That is a property of the City of Fort Collins, not owned by the DDA. We will take that comment into account – intriguing, but hasn’t been part of the discussion so far. A: (Applicant) HC is developing affordable housing in other locations in addition to this one. Reality is that we are hundreds of units short every year in delivering affordable housing. Q: Give the City the opportunity to donate some of that property in the parking lot to the project. Ask the City about that. A: (City) A possible parking structure on the Remington/Oak lot is a major capital project. Projects like these are imagined through the planning process and proposed through the budget process. If the DDA thinks a new parking structure is critical then they will partner with the City (just like the Firehouse Alley Parking Structure). At this time there is not a proposal on the table to convert Remington/Oak lot to a parking structure. ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 12 Packet pg. 99 Q: Own property at Olive and Remington. How will you avoid these units being taken up by students? Would defeat the purpose of providing this for local workers. A: (Applicant) Our financing prohibits us from leasing to anyone considered a full-time student. Q: 6 stories doesn’t go over very well. Seems like it’s out of place in terms of traditional architecture, could set a precedent for future projects. Probably just resisting something new; would love to see Downtown remain less “downtownish” and big-city ish. Slides of local architecture – to me, still looks really good 100 years later. Have to say that I feel like some of the contemporary style and mixture while creative, I don’t think of it as lasting. Don’t think it will be appreciated in 100 years. Would be much happier if we saw a building that looked more like a traditional building. You’ve put in so much work, but does not feel like it blends in. Tall, stark, no warmth. At the same time, appreciate what you’re trying to accomplish. Understand that the scale helps the affordability work. Q: Own 3 properties on S College, historic. What we need is more customers. Don’t think this building fits in to FC. I was born here. We were able to preserve what we have in Old Town. I think of this as an eyesore. Think there are other places, maybe the DDA could sell this property. We need parking for the library, for the museum. Affordable housing is very important, but so many other places where they could get to downtown easily. WE need customers, not places for our employees. A: (Applicant) One of the things about successful, vibrant, healthy downtowns is the right balance of the number of people working, living, playing and the balance of those things. The housing piece is missing right now. A: (Applicant) Our Downtown has affordable housing for seniors in DMA plaza and the Northern Hotel and Legacy Senior housing. What we haven’t done is address the need for working residents. We’ve been diligent about this project. This was identified as a need confirmed by the businesses in Downtown. Have to look at this in a comprehensive way. Will contribute to economic vitality of Downtown. Q: Live across the street on S. College facing Oak Street. Hope there would not be a variance for 6 stories. Doesn’t fit, blocks beauty. With 78 units, what is the square footage of the units? A: (Applicant) These are small, urban, efficient apartments. 1 bedroom 500 sf, 2 br around 875 sf. Somewhat new to the market in Fort Collins. Q: Want to make a comment – from the drawing you showed, from 2 aspects it doesn’t look bad. Not at all supportive of 6 stories. Before we know it we’ll have 8 story buildings downtown. At least 1 aspect if not 2 it looks like a big, hulking block that’s overwhelming the area. The picture from College Ave where you can see the building peeking over, it’s looming not peeking. Improve the façades that are flat, harsh, looming, hulking – make them better. One of the reasons Uncommon semi-works is the way it stair- ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 12 Packet pg. 100 steps away. The west and north of this building is big, flat, looming, not in keeping with the beauty of downtown. The southeast works better because it steps back. Q: Live 3 blocks south on Remington. Wanted to comment and be a voice in favor of both the affordable housing component and its density. As a young homeowner, this is why we wanted a house in old town. Wanted to be near the density and vibrancy of old town. Continuing to foster that legac y. Really appreciate that aspect of the project. Applicant comment: Nearly half of the units are on the 5 th and 6th stories, to reduce the height by 15 feet to get to 56 eliminates all those units, all those people working and living Downtown and contributing to the Downtown economy. Q: How will you control rents? A: (Applicant) Use calculations to determine affordable rent (no more than 30% of income) calculated at the state level. Will also do an in-depth market study to make sure the rents make sense. Q: Parking and height. Is there going to be parking in the basement? Take off some of the 2nd floor parking? Build over and surround the Diehl property by buying air rights? A: (Applicant) Property does wrap around both sides of the Diehl property. We did look at underground parking, and that building where it is makes underground parking infeasible with the ramping and shoring required. Also created risk to that building and the alley through construction. Another concern was duration of construction – underground parking adds 4-6 weeks to construction timeline. We don’t think there’s a way to make underground parking work. We pursued all avenues with the building owner including building over the building and incorporating it into the new building. A: (Applicant) The tenant (chiropractor) doesn’t own that building, the Diehls do. Invited the owners into the process, ultimately had to come down to something that would work for both parties. Ultimately decided that it was better for the owners to go a different way and keep their building separate. We did look at and explore other options. A: (Applicant) Our role is now to think about how best to interact with that building from architecture, safety, and other perspectives. Will take ongoing partnership. Q: Comment from Diehls – appreciate the comments, DDA and HC have been very proactive. We may not agree on everything, but appreciate their efforts to involve us.

I have shared this concern with the DDA directly but I also share concern for a 6 story building on this site. We are working through researching snow drift issues in my building on 143 Remington directly with the DDA. This is also of considerable concern but we are trying to work through this together.
