C. OVERVIEW OF MAIN CONSIDERATIONS
The proposed Minor amendment for a fence, shade structure, doorways with concrete stoops, and exterior
lighting is required to allow for a higher level of childcare programming to be provided at the Northside Aztlan
Community Center. It is to be located on the west side of the building, between the building and the railroad
tracks that run along the western portion of the site. The fence will be built within a 20-foot gas easement,
which is allowed. None of the rest of the project will be located within the easement. The fence will be
constructed of six-foot tall black aluminum pickets, rails, and posts. The pickets will be approximately one inch
in width and will be spaced approximately 3 ¾ inches apart. The shade structure will include a blue canopy
mounted on a single, light ivory colored post. The post will be installed outside of the gas easement, adjacent
to the building. Doorways and lintels will match existing on the building. Three new wall luminaires will be
mounted 10-feet above grade on the exterior wall within the project area. The proposal provides a site plan
showing the location of the lighting fixtures to be installed with the photometric plan. Details of the lighting
fixtures are also provided with the proposal. Information about the light color temperature, off-site impacts,
and lighting controls are provided with the plans to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the Land
Use Code.

Comment Summary:
Department: Engineering Development Review
Contact: John Gerwel, , jgerwel@fcgov.com
Topic: General
01/06/2023: The gas easement (reception no 20060076879) states that the City
reserves the right to occupy the easement so long as the gas line isn't interfered
with or endangered. Also no buildings or structures (fences are allowed). So no
permanent structures within easements, but the description notes that there will be
no playground equipment. But even if you have, say sandboxes, just bear in mind
that the owner of the gas line wouldn't have an obligation to repair or move the
sandbox if work needed to be done, and nothing should be placed in the easement
that might interfere with maintenance work.

Topic: Erosion Control
Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your
submittal of North Side Aztlan Center . If you have questions about any comments, you may contact
the individual commenter or direct your questions through your Project Planner, Brandon Haynes at or
bhaynes@fcgov.com.

Packet pg. 25
01/09/2023: No Comment from Erosion Control. Based upon the submitted
materials it has been determined that this project; will disturb less than 10,000 sq.
ft., is not proposed to be in a sensitive area, has no steep slopes (greater than
3H:1V) within or adjacent to the project, and is not part of a larger common
development that will or is under construction. Therefore, Erosion Control Material
submittal is not needed. If this project substantially changes in size or design where
the above criteria now apply, erosion control materials should be submitted.
Although the project at this time requires no erosion control material submittal, the
project still must be swept and maintained to prevent dirt, saw cuttings, concrete
wash, trash & debris, landscape materials and other pollutants from the potential of
leaving the site and entering the storm sewer at all times during the project in
accordance with City Code §26-498. If complaints are received or site observation
of the project seem not to prevent the pollutants from being discharged the City may
require the project to install erosion and sediment control measures. Nearby inlets
that may be impacted by the pollutants, in particular dirt, should be protected as a
good preventative practice and individual lots should be protected from material
escaping onto the sidewalk through the use of straw wattles or silt fence. If at
building permit issuance any issues arise please email erosion@fcgov.com to help
facilitate getting these permits signed off.

1. Project Introduction
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This application consists solely of a request for a Modification of a Standard to Section 3.8.17(A)(1)(a),
Building Height Measured in Stories.
This modification is part of a prospective development plan for a 3-court gym facility for basketball and
volleyball. The building would be one story, and the request is based on a building program with three
modules for the sports courts, which require a certain ceiling clearance (27 feet) for official indoor
volleyball.
The code standard limits the height of a story in a commercial building to 25 feet. The request is to
allow the height to exceed 25’ as necessary to provide 27-foot ceiling clearance for the three court
modules within the overall building design.
This necessary height for the three modules is expected to be about 37 feet based on preliminary
analysis of site topography and building structure using the height calculation in the land use code. For
clarity and efficiency, the request is worded to request a
“maximum height of 40’ at the highest point of the building.”
The applicants’ narrative thoroughly explains and illustrates the proposed modification. However, it
refers to 32 feet as the requested height because it was based on earlier thinking which has since been
updated with further understanding of grading on the site and the building structure.
B. DEVELOPMENT STATUS/BACKGROUND
1. Prospect Park East PUD
The site is the last remaining undeveloped site in the Prospect Park East business park development
plan, which dates to the early 1980’s. Development has occurred since then through multiple filings.

B. DIVISION 2.8 – MODIFICATION OF STANDARDS
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 of a given development plan, would not meet a specific standard of the Land
Use Code as stated. Land Use Code Section 2.8.2(H) provides for evaluation of these instances on a case-
by-case basis under the following criteria.
Land Use Code Modification Criteria:
“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).
Modification of 3.8.17(A)(2)(c) Building Height Measured in Stories
Summary of Applicant Justification
The applicant’s modification request is attached. It explains that:
• The modification is not detrimental to the public good because several significant design
measures minimize the effect of the height and mass, emphasize human scale, and fit within the
context of existing buildings and streetscapes.
• The plan meets subparagraph (1) “equal-to or better than” a plan with a taller building which
would be allowed; and likewise a plan for a building limited to 25’ rather than 32’ as proposed,
for the reasons stated above. The building provides a suitable transition near the river corridor
landscape.
• The plan meets subparagraph (2), “defined community need” because of high demand for
indoor basketball and volleyball venues in the community.
• The plan meets subparagraph (3), “exceptional physical conditions” because of the limited
access, which is established by the existing abutting development; and the buildable area of the
lot, which is limited by streetscape access easements.
• The plan meets subparagraph (4), “nominal and inconsequential” when considered from the
perspective of the entire proposed development plan, because of the architectural measures to
respond to and blend with the building’s context.
Staff Findings
Staff finds that the modification would not be detrimental to the public good, and meets criteria (1) and
(4) -- “equal-to or better”, and “nominal and inconsequential from the perspective of the whole plan”.
Not Detrimental to the Public Good. The building is not detrimental for the reasons noted in the
applicant’s explanation as summarized above and articulated in the attached narrative.
“Equal or Better”. The plan is equal to or better than a plan with a single story limited to 25 feet or a
taller building with multiple stories, for reasons stated previously above, including:
• Modulation and materiality of the proposed building as described in the applicants’ narrative,
completely avoids any effect of an oversized building story.
Proposed Building Design

Planning & Zoning Commission Hearing - Agenda Item 3
MOD230001 | Prospect Sports Stand-Alone Modification Request - Height
Thursday, April 20, 2023 | Page 5 of 5
Back to Top
• Employment zoning allows 4-story buildings, which would correspond to 100 feet as ultimate height.
The proposed 32’ height for building modules is completely compatible with the context, which
includes buildings of larger and similar scale.
• The building modulation expresses the activities inside, consistent with the intent of building
standards in the Land Use Code.
“Nominal and Inconsequential”. Any effect of the height of the sports court modules is offset by
architectural measures mentioned in this report and the applicants’ narrative, the generous
streetscapes, the business park context of the area, and the magnitude of difference between the
ultimate presumed height limit of 100’ and the proposed 32’ height.
For these reasons, the plan will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code.
3. Findings of Fact/Conclusion
In evaluating the Prospect Sports Stand-Alone Modification Request #MOD230001, staff makes the following
findings of fact and conclusions:
1. The request complies with the applicable procedural and administrative requirements of Article 2 of
the Land Use Code.
2. The request satisfies the applicable requirements for approval of Modification of Standards located in
Division 2.8 of the Land Use Code.
3. No other Land Use Code standards apply to this request.
4. Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a motion to approve the Prospect Sports
Stand-Alone Modification Request #MOD230001 to allow a maximum height of 40’ at the highest point of the
building, based on the Findings of Fact and supporting explanations found in the staff report.

PROJECT INFORMATION AND DESIGN NARRATIVE
Background
Prospect Sports is a planned, new 3-court facility envisioned to fulfill a need for basketball and volleyball
courts that are in low supply and high demand in Northern Colorado. It is intended to bolster the
community while keeping the integrity, continuity, and connectivity of the sur rounding neighborhood.
As an infill project planned for a narrow, undeveloped corner lot in the established Prospect Park area, the
property has many physical constraints that limit its development. However, in the time since the
Conceptual Review meeting to introduce the project to city staff was held, the design team has
developed a thoughtful, attractive and efficient plan and vision for this community amenity.
The proposed project will require review and approval by the City of Fort Collins through a Type II PDP
process. Due to the physical constraints of the site, two Modifications of Standards will be required to
achieve the planned project. In order to confirm support of the Modifications of Standards before
completing the detailed design and engineering plans required for the PDP submittal, we are seeking
standalone review and approval of these two Modifications of Standards as allowed by the Land Use
Code. Approval of the Modifications will not eliminate the requirement for our development plans to be
approved through a Type II PDP review process, but with approval of the Modifications we will have
better direction for development of our PDP submittal.

Modification of Standards Request
The Land Use Code is adopted with the recognition that there will be cases where circumstances in a
given development plan may warrant a design solution that does not comply with a standard as written.
Thus, the code includes a provision for ‘Modification of Standards with certain criteria. The criteria for
modification requests are in Land Use Code Division 2.8.2(H) as follows:
Land Use Code Modification Criteria:
The decision maker may grant a modification of standards only if it finds that the granting o f
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 ener gy 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).

Prospect Sports Club
Standalone Modification Request:
3.8.17.A.2.c Building Height Measured in Stories
Modification to 3.8.17.A.2.c Building Height Measured in Stories
The standard states:
No story of a commercial or industrial building shall have more than twenty-five (25) feet from average
ground level at the center of all walls to the eave/wall intersection or wall plate height if there is no eave, or
from floor to floor, or from floor to eave/wall intersection or wall plate height as applicable.
Basketball and Volleyball Facility Height Requirements
Three gymnasiums, designed for basketball and volleyball, are the main programmatic elements of the
proposed Prospect Sports Club. Volleyball courts require the largest clear height above the court of the
two sports. The minimum clear height for collegiate volleyball play is 25 feet, but providing more
clearance is recommended. For this facility to function as intended by providing a premium experience
for athletes, the courts must provide the preferred clearances that athletes expect. Thus, the facility is
being designed to provide 27 feet of clearance above the courts.
Determining the Height of the “Story”
The exterior walls around the gyms will be precast concrete panels featuring attractive surface texture.
Above the walls, the top of the gym masses will be articulated by a continuous, horizontal band of
translucent windows. These windows will add architectural interest and variety to the building exterior
and will contribute even, soft daylight to the building interior. (See figure 5 below) The windows will extend
up to the roof, which will slope north to south following the slope of the site. Therefore, the top of the
story will be perceived as the top of the band of windows.
The building will have two floor levels: the main floor level at which one enters the building and a court-
level which is approximately five feet lower. The two levels accomplish two goals: they allow for
unobstructed views to the courts on the interior and allow the gym masses to sit deeper within the
landscape. The true height of the gym masses will only be apparent on the south, where the court level is
at the finished grade. Grade will gradually rise going north and will envelope the gym masses, softening
the visual impact of the development and keeping the building height and profile in scale with
surrounding natural features.
Figure 5 The West Elevation of proposed Prospect Sports Club illustrates how the height of the gym masses follows the slope of the site.
A story height calculated from the average ground level to the top of the translucent band of windows
will be approximately 32 feet; exceeding the maximum story height for commercial and industria l
buildings per the Fort Collins Land Use Code.

Standalone Modification Request:
3.8.17.A.2.c Building Height Measured in Stories
Strict Application of the Standard
This facility’s design would be negatively impacted if it were to meet the strict application of the
standard. The only way the building could not exceed 25 feet in height would be by sinking the entire
building seven additional feet or by sinking only the gym masses and making up the difference in floor
levels on the interior. The former would lead to a very awkward relationship between Prospect and the
building’s north façade, as the main level would be low in relation to Prospect Road and the sidewalk. The
latter would drastically change the interior, causing more building area to be devoted to vertical
circulation and would make the relationship between levels far less affective. Additionally, both methods
would eliminate the ADA-accessible emergency exits at gym level and make the building more vulnerable
to flooding. The strict application of such a standard would render the project practically infeasible.
4.27.D.4.a Dimensional Standards of the Employment District
This section of the Land Use Code sets a maximum height of buildings within Employment Districts at
four stories. A single-story, 32-foot-high building is well below this height limit and would meet the stated
purpose of the code. Based on the heights of adjacent buildings, this building would not look out of
context.
Fitting within Context
Another method being employed to make the building fit within its context is the articulation of each gym
volume by dividing the three into separate masses. By breaking up the building façade and creating a
pattern of projections and recesses, the height as perceived from Prospect Road will be less
consequential. Additionally, the separation of gym masses offers the opportunity to tuck rooftop
mechanical equipment on lower roofs in the spaces between; limiting the potential for visual impact. See
the figure below.
Figure 6 The North Elevation illustrates the articulation of each gym volume.
The shorter portion of the building nearest Prospect will further diminish the visual impact of the gym
masses as it is less than the maximum story height limit. This step down of the building will promote the
design of an urban environment that is built to human scale and create a gradual transition in height
between the public right-of-way and the gym volumes.
Conclusions
We submit that the Modification should be supported based on the following findings:
The granting of the modification would not be detrimental to the public good, and meets criteria (1)
“equal to or better than”, (2) “substantially address an important community need”, (3) “exceptional
physical conditions”, and (4) “nominal and inconsequential from the perspective of the whole plan”:
Not Detrimental to the Public Good. The building is being designed to minimize the public’s perception
of its height by tucking the larger building masses away from Prospect Road and into the landscape,
breaking the larger masses up and softening the visual impact of tops of the masses with a band of
windows, and creating lower building masses along the primary public right -of-way that emphasize the

Standalone Modification Request:

human scale. The building will fit within the established pattern of buildings and meet the design
standards established for the Prospect Corridor.
Equal or Better. The proposed building is planned to be significantly shorter than is allowed in the
Employment District. This will provide a more suitable transition from the natural area to the east of the
property to the urban development west of the property and fit better alongside the shorter buildings
adjacent without impairing the intent and purpose of the Land Use Code.
Substantially Address an Important Community Need
Granting this modification from the strict application of the standard will provide substantial benefit to
the city by substantially addressing several important community needs specifically defined in the city's
Comprehensive Plan. This development will provide the opportunity for people to live and access daily
services within walking/bicycling distance of where they work , reinvigorate an older office park, and be a
prime example of the City supporting a variety of high -quality, indoor recreational opportunities for the
entire community. There is a high demand for basketball and volleyball venues in the area, and this
facility will help alleviate the need for athletes and their families to travel to other communities to find
available court space.
Exceptional Physical Conditions. The property is a narrow corner lot within the Prospect East area at
the intersection of East Prospect Road (four-lane arterial) and Sharp Point Drive (major collector). The
buildable area on the lot is bounded on the south by a private access drive, and the north by a 50-foot
pedestrian easement. Limited site access further restricts the design opportunities on the lot. A different,
less constricting lot might make sinking the gym masses in to the landscape easier, thereby meeting the
standard, however the current lot limits the extent at which this can be done while still meeting other life-
safety code requirements.
Nominal and Inconsequential. The alternative plan meets the purpose of the standard and the criteria for
an exception to the standard by using several architectural design methods to ensure the building
responds well to its context and blends into the natural and urban landscape as much as is possible. The
plan as submitted will not diverge from the standards of the Land Use Code that are authorized by t his
Division to be modified except in a nominal, inconsequential way when considered from the perspective
of the entire development plan.
For these reasons, the plan will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code.

Prospect Sports Stand-Alone Modification Request #MOD230002 – Build-To Line
Summary of Request
This is a request for a stand-alone Modification of a Standard
that requires a new commercial building to be placed within 25’
of an abutting arterial street and 15’ from other streets.
In this case, existing pedestrian streetscape easements on the
subject property prevent placement that close to the street
corner.
The applicants intend to submit a development plan for a gym
facility, but they want to resolve the question of whether the
building can be approved in its planned location, before investing
in a full Project Development Plan submittal.
The request is one of three related to the proposed gym facility–
the other two are #MOD230001 and 230003.
Zoning Map
Next Steps
If the Modification is approved, the applicant would be eligible to
submit a development plan for the proposed development with
the building placed further from the street corner than stated in
the standard. Approval of the Modification would be valid for one
year following the approval date.

1. Project Introduction
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This application consists solely of the request for a Modification of a Standard to Section 3.5.3(C)(2),
Orientation to Build-to Lines for Streetfront Buildings. Existing pedestrian streetscape easements on the
property preclude placing the building as close to the corner as the standard states; and the building is
proposed at the easement lines
The applicants’ narrative thoroughly explains and illustrates the proposed modification.
The modification is part of a prospective development plan for a gym facility for basketball and
volleyball.
The building would be placed at the corner at the easement lines with no intervening parking or drives,
which is the more important determinant of building placement.
B. DEVELOPMENT STATUS/BACKGROUND
1. Prospect Park East PUD
The site is the last remaining undeveloped site in the Prospect Park East business park development
plan, which dates to the early 1980’s. Development has occurred since then through multiple filings.

C. MAIN CONSIDERATIONS DISCUSSED IN STAFF REVIEW
The first consideration was whether a modification is warranted. The build-to-line standards include
exceptions that could possibly be interpreted as pertaining to this situation. Existing easements
preclude placing the building as close to the streets as the standard states; and the easements are there
in order to form an outdoor space in the form of pedestrian streetscapes with generous landscaped
setbacks. The code language states:
(d) Exceptions to the build-to line standards shall be permitted:
1. in order to form an outdoor space such as a plaza, courtyard, patio or garden between a
building and the sidewalk. Such a larger front yard area shall have landscaping, low walls, fencing
or railings, a tree canopy and/or other similar site improvements along the sidewalk designed for
pedestrian interest, comfort and visual continuity.
2. if the building abuts a four-lane or six-lane arterial street, and the Director has determined that
an alternative to the street sidewalk better serves the purpose of connecting commercial
destinations due to one (1) or more of the following constraints:
a. high volume and/or speed of traffic on the abutting street(s),
b. landform,
c. an established pattern of existing buildings that makes a pedestrian-oriented streetfront
infeasible.
Such an alternative to the street sidewalk must include a connecting walkway(s) and may include
internal walkways or other directly connecting outdoor spaces such as plazas, courtyards, squares
or gardens.
The proposal is to place the building as close as possible to the streets, right at the easement
lines.
The applicants and staff decided to include this modification request to avoid any question of
interpreting the standard as written in a subsequent full development plan. Staff will consider a
possible code change to this standard to add existing and required easements as exceptions.
The landscaped setbacks are part of the larger East Prospect streetscape in this stretch, which is
intended to be a landscaped employment corridor as a major city entryway. The Harmony
Corridor set a precedent for the idea, which has been successful in this area and along Harmony
Road. The intent is to avoid a commercial arterial corridor. The Build-to Line idea is generally
more pertinent in commercial streetfronts than business park settings that emphasize a
landscape setting and image.

B. DIVISION 2.8 – MODIFICATION OF STANDARDS
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 of a given development plan, would not meet a specific standard of the Land
Use Code as stated. Land Use Code Section 2.8.2(H) provides for evaluation of these instances on a case-
by-case basis under the following criteria.
Land Use Code Modification Criteria:
“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).
Modification of 3.5.3(C)(2) Orientation to Build-To Lines for Streetfront Buildings
Summary of Applicant Justification
The applicant’s modification request is attached. The last two pages directly address the exceptions in
the standard in a way that highlight the question of whether modification is warranted. It explains that:
• The modification is not detrimental to the public good because the building location matches
the established pattern of buildings and parking and provided direct pedestrian connections to
the sidewalks.
• The plan meets subparagraph (1) “equal-to or better than” because the alternative plan
promotes the design of an urban environment that is built to human scale while in context of
the established pedestrian easements and landscaped setbacks established in the Prospect
Corridor; and access restrictions for public streets.
• The plan meets subparagraph (3), “exceptional physical conditions” because the property is a
narrow corner lot. The narrowness of the parcel and the existing pedestrian easements and
limited access preclude strict application of the standard.
• The plan meets subparagraph (4), “nominal and inconsequential” when considered from the
perspective of the entire proposed development plan, because the alternative plan meets the
purpose of the standard and the criteria for an exception to the standard by providing a main
building entrance that faces and opens directly onto connecting walkways, a pedestrian plaza
with seating for pick-up / drop-off and direct pedestrian connections to the adjacent public
sidewalk and the East Prospect Road/Sharp Point Drive intersection without crossing parking or
drives. It matches the established pattern of buildings and parking.
For these reasons, the plan will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code.
Staff Findings
Staff finds that the modification would not be detrimental to the public good, and meets criteria (1) and
(3) -- “equal-to or better”, and “unusual exceptional conditions”.
Not Detrimental to the Public Good. The building is not detrimental for the reasons noted in the
applicants explanation as summarized above and articulated in the attached narrative.
“Equal or Better”. The plan is better than a plan with a building brought forward to the Build-to Line
dimensions because the building fits within the location established by existing development; and it

would be disruptive to the point of infeasibility to demolish the existing streetscapes with a building
placement which would interrupt the established pattern.
“Physical conditions, exceptional and unusual situations”. The existing pedestrian easements
preclude strict application of the standard.
3. Findings of Fact/Conclusion
In evaluating the Prospect Sports Stand-Alone Modification Request #MOD230002, staff makes the following
findings of fact and conclusions:
1. The request complies with the applicable procedural and administrative requirements of Article 2 of
the Land Use Code.
2. The request complies with applicable requirements for approval of Modification of Standards located
in Division 2.8 of the Land Use Code.
3. No other Land Use Code standards apply to this request.
4. Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a motion to approve the Prospect Sports
Stand-Alone Modification Request #MOD230002 based on the Findings of Fact and supporting explanations
found in the staff report.

PROJECT INFORMATION AND DESIGN NARRATIVE
Background
Prospect Sports is a planned new 3-court facility envisioned to fulfill a need for basketball and
volleyball courts that are in low supply and high demand in Northern Colorado. It is intended to
bolster the community while keeping the integrity, continuity, and connectivity of the surrounding
neighborhood.
As an infill project planned for a narrow, undeveloped corner lot in the established Prospect Park
area, the property has many physical constraints that limit its development. However, in the time
since the Conceptual Review meeting to introduce the project to city staff was held, the design
team has developed a thoughtful, attractive and efficient plan and vision for this community
amenity.
The proposed project will require review and approval by the City of Fort Collins through a Type II
PDP process. Due to the physical constraints of the site, three Modifications of Standards will be
required to achieve the planned project. In order to confirm support of the Modifications of
Standards before completing the detailed design and engineering plans required for the PDP
submittal, we are seeking standalone review and approval of these three Modifications of
Standards as allowed by the Land Use Code. Approval of the Modfications will not eliminate the
requirement for our development plans to be approved through a Type II PDP review process, but
with approval of the Modifications we will have better direction for development of our PDP
submittal.

Planning Context
The property is located at the southwest corner of East Prospect Road and Sharp Point Drive and
is platted as Lot 5 of the Prospect Park East PUD. As a part of the Prospect Park development,
substantial pedestrian and access easements were dedicated along both East Prospect Road
(50' easement) and Sharp Point Drive (25’ easement). These easements are landscaped with
mature trees and contain meandering detached sidewalks. Vehicular access to the site is not
allowed from either street frontage but instead is intended to be shared with the existing drive on
the north end of Lot 6. An access easement is in place to allow this access to the property.

Concept Site Plan Description
To best accommodate the site access limitations, our current site concept locates the building
near the intersection of East Prospect Road and Sharp Point Drive with visitor parking to the west
of the building. This allows access to the parking from the shared access drive at Sharp Point
Drive within the existing access easement and allows for fire access to the building from Sharp
Point Drive.
The primary building entrance will be located near the northwest corner of the building near East
Prospect Road with a pedestrian plaza and drop-off lane. A direct pedestrian connection is
planned from this plaza and building entrance to the adjacent public sidewalk on East Prospect
Road, and will double as an emergency vehicle access if required by Poudre Fire Authority.

Modification of Standards Request
The Land Use Code is adopted with the recognition that there will be cases where circumstances
in a given development plan may warrant a design solution that does not comply with a standard
as written.
Thus, the code includes a provision for ‘Modification of Standards with certain criteria. The
criteria for modification requests are in Land Use Code Division 2.8.2(H) as follows:
Land Use Code Modification Criteria:
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).

Modification (or Exception) to 3.5.3(C)(2) Orientation to Build-to Lines for Streetfront
Buildings
This standard requires buildings to be located no more than fifteen (15) feet from the right-of-way
of an adjoining street if the street is smaller than a full arterial or has on-street parking. For
arterial streets, buildings are required to be located at least ten (10) and no more than twenty-five
(25) feet behind the street right-of-way of an adjoining street that is larger than a two-lane arterial
that does not have on-street parking.
If a lot has multiple streets, then the building shall be built to at least two (2) of the streets.
For this parcel, this standard would require the building to be located no more than twenty-five
(25) feet from East Prospect Road and no more than fifteen (15) feet from Sharp Point Drive. The
plans for the Prospect Park neighborhood and the Prospect Corridor Plan established larger
setbacks along both of these streets including pedestrian easements to ensure larger landscaped
setbacks would be maintained with development. These pedestrian easements prohibit a
building location meeting the 3.5.3(C)(2) standard (see diagram below).

Standalone Modification Request:
3.5.3(C)(2) Orientation to Build-to Lines for Streetfront Buildings
In addition, since this parcel is a small corner lot at the intersection of East Prospect Road (four-
lane arterial) and Sharp Point Drive (major collector), we are not allowed to create a new public
vehicle access point on either road. Instead, access to this lot is required from the access
easement that exists on Lot 6 to allow shared access from Sharp Point Drive to this lot (see
diagram below).
Although the pedestrian easements and access restrictions prohibit a building location meeting
these standards, we propose a building and parking design that meets the purpose of Section
3.5.3 and these subsections while still honoring these existing pedestrian and access
easements.
The main building entrance, pedestrian entry plaza and pick-up / drop-off lanes are planned at the
northwest corner of the building. This main entrance faces and opens directly onto connecting
walkways with direct pedestrian connections to the adjacent public sidewalk on East Prospect
Road with direct access to the adjacent transit routes and the Sharp Point Drive intersection. The
pedestrian connection from the building entrance and the adjacent public sidewalk does not
cross the parking or drives.

Exception Allowance
Section 3.5.3.(C)(2)(d) allows exceptions to the build-to line standards to be permitted with one
or more of the following criteria:
1. in order to form an outdoor space such as a plaza, courtyard, patio or garden between a
building and the sidewalk. Such a larger front yard area shall have landscaping, low walls,
fencing or railings, a tree canopy and/or other similar site improvements along the sidewalk
designed for pedestrian interest, comfort and visual continuity. The plan proposes a
pedestrian plaza with seating at the main building entrance and along the pick-up /
drop-off area.
2. if the building abuts a four-lane or six-lane arterial street, (East Prospect Road is a four-
lane arterial) and the Director has determined that an alternative to the street sidewalk
better serves the purpose of connecting commercial destinations due to one (1) or more of
the following constraints:
a. high volume and/or speed of traffic on the abutting street(s), East Prospect Road is a
four-lane arterial, high-volume and speed)
c. an established pattern of existing buildings that makes a pedestrian-oriented streetfront
infeasible. The proposed plan matches the established pattern of existing buildings and
ITEM 3, MODIFICATION 2 - ATTACHMENT 1

utilizes the existing access easements and pedestrian easements making the strict
build-to line distances infeasible.
Such an alternative to the street sidewalk must include a connecting walkway(s) and may
include internal walkways or other directly connecting outdoor spaces such as plazas,
courtyards, squares or gardens. The proposed plan includes a main building entrance
that faces and opens directly onto connecting walkways, a pedestrian plaza with
seating for pick-up / drop-off and direct pedestrian connections to the adjacent public
sidewalk existing on East Prospect Road.
Conclusions
We submit that the proposed concept plan meets the criteria of an alternative plan that can be
approved by the Director as an exception to the build-to line standards. However, if a Modification
of Standards is required, we submit that the Modification should be supported based on the
following findings:
The granting of the modification would not be detrimental to the public good, and meets criteria
(1) “equal to or better than”, (3) “exceptional physical conditions”, and (4) “nominal and
inconsequential from the perspective of the whole plan”:
Not Detrimental to the Public Good. The building location matches the established pattern of
buildings and parking and provides direct pedestrian connections to the adjacent public sidewalk.
Equal or Better. The alternative plan promotes the design of an urban environment that is built to
human scale while in context of the established pedestrian easements and landscaped setbacks
established in the Prospect Corridor and access restrictions for public streets.
Exceptional Physical Conditions. The property is a narrow corner lot within the Prospect East
area at the intersection of East Prospect Road (four-lane arterial) and Sharp Point Drive (major
collector). The narrowness of the parcel and the existing pedestrian easements and limited
access prohibits strict application of the standard.
Nominal and Inconsequential. The alternative plan meets the purpose of the standard and the
criteria for an exception to the standard by providing a main building entrance that faces and
opens directly onto connecting walkways, a pedestrian plaza with seating for pick-up / drop-off
and direct pedestrian connections to the adjacent public sidewalk and the East Prospect Road /
Sharp Point Drive intersection without crossing parking or drives. It matches the established
pattern of buildings and parking.
For these reasons, the plan will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code.

1. Project Introduction
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This application consists solely of the request for a Modification of a Standard to Section 3.2.2(K)(2),
Nonresidential Parking Requirements. The standard is in a table with a required number of off-street
parking spaces for a list of common building uses based on building square feet. If a plan proposes
building uses that are not listed in the table, then the number of required spaces is to be the number for
the most similar use that is listed.
The use falls within the classification of Unlimited Indoor Recreational Use and Facility, which is not
listed in the table. The most similar use is Bowling Alley with a requirement of 2.5 spaces per 1,000
square feet, which would be 93 spaces.
The proposed plan can provide 64 spaces. The applicants’ narrative and a supporting Parking Impact
Study thoroughly explain and show the rationale for the proposed plan, shown below.

C. MAIN CONSIDERATIONS DISCUSSED IN STAFF REVIEW
• The first consideration was determining the most similar use for purposes of assigning a parking
requirement to guide a plan and review (staff and applicants found bowling alley to be most similar
as mentioned above).
• The applicants and staff discussed potential for shared parking solutions with abutting properties.
The owners are not the same as the business tenants, and the applicants have explained the time
and effort spent finding the owners’ representatives, and finding zero interest or willingness for any
agreement.
• The only way to physically fit the required parking into a development plan would be to have a
smaller building with only two courts instead of the proposed three.
• Sharp Point Drive allows for 39 street parking spaces, across the street on the east side, which
currently get very negligible use because the adjoining property is undeveloped river corridor
floodplain land, and nearby development provides ample parking. The plan would be a good use of
that asphalt, particularly because much of the demand would be during evenings and weekends
when the business park activity would presumably be at its lowest.

demand. The plan makes better use of land considering the most common use scenario and
reflects city initiatives to mitigate vehicle-centric development. A drop-off and pick-up area is
provided and envisioned as a key part of the facility’s use.
• The plan meets subparagraph (1) “equal-to or better than” because the parking lot is adequate
based on analysis of the specific facility’s intended use.
• The plan meets subparagraph (2), “defined community need” because the development would
provide opportunity for people to access daily services near where they work, reinvigorate an
older office park, and meet high demand for court space to help alleviate the current need for
athletes and their families to travel to other communities to find court space.
• The plan meets subparagraph (3), “exceptional physical conditions” because of the limited
access which is which is established by the existing abutting development, and the buildable
area of the lot which is limited by streetscape access easements.
• The plan meets subparagraph (4), “nominal and inconsequential” when considered from the
perspective of the entire proposed development plan, because it provides an adequate parking
lot for most demand scenarios and can be supplemented when necessary by nearby on-street
parking.
For these reasons, the plan will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code.
Staff Findings
• The modification is not detrimental to the public good because the plan provides an adequate
parking lot for most demand scenarios and can be supplemented when necessary by nearby on-
street parking and by a drop-off and pick-up area. This makes efficient use of land and existing
asphalt and reflects city initiatives to mitigate vehicle-centric development.
• The plan meets subparagraph (1) “equal-to or better than” because the parking lot is adequate
based on analysis of the specific facility’s intended use.
• The plan meets subparagraph (4), “nominal and inconsequential” for the same reasons noted
above.
For these reasons, the plan will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code.

PROJECT INFORMATION AND DESIGN NARRATIVE
Background
Prospect Sports is a planned, new 3-court facility envisioned to fulfill a need for basketball and volleyball
courts that are in low supply and high demand in Northern Colorado. It is intended to bolster the
community while keeping the integrity, continuity, and connectivity of the sur rounding neighborhood.
As an infill project planned for a narrow, undeveloped corner lot in the established Prospect Park area, the
property has many physical constraints that limit its development. However, in the time since the
Conceptual Review meeting to introduce the project to city staff was held, the design team has
developed a thoughtful, attractive and efficient plan and vision for this community amenity.
The proposed project will require review and approval by the City of Fort Collins through a Type II PDP
process. Due to the physical constraints of the site, two Modifications of Standards will be required to
achieve the planned project. In order to confirm support of the Modifications of Standards before
completing the detailed design and engineering plans required for the PDP submittal, we are seeking
standalone review and approval of these two Modifications of Standards as allowed by the Land Use
Code. Approval of the Modifications will not eliminate the requirement for our development plans to be
approved through a Type II PDP review process, but with approval of the Modifications we will have
better direction for development of our PDP submittal.
A Parking Impact Study has been conducted for the Prospect Sports facility and has been submitted
with this Modification Request. Please refer to it for additional information.
Planning Context
The property is located at the southwest corner of East Prospect Road and Sharp Point Drive and is
platted as Lot 5 of the Prospect Park East PUD. As a part of the Prospect Park development, substantial
pedestrian and access easements were dedicated along both East Prospect Road (50' easement) and
Sharp Point Drive (25’ easement). These easements are landscaped with mature trees and contain
meandering detached sidewalks. Vehicular access to the site is not allowed from either street frontage
but instead is intended to be shared with the existing drive on the north end of Lot 6. An acce ss
easement is in place to allow this access to the property.
See the ‘Planning Context’ section of the Prospect Sports Club Parking Impact Study for more
information regarding site constraints, the proposed building’s site plan, the parking study area, and the
transit, cycling and walking environments and networks in the vicinity.

Modification of Standards Request
The Land Use Code is adopted with the recognition that there will be cases where circumstances in a
given development plan may warrant a design solution that does not comply with a standard as written.
Thus, the code includes a provision for ‘Modification of Standards with certain crit eria. The criteria for
modification requests are in Land Use Code Division 2.8.2(H) as follows:
Land Use Code Modification Criteria:
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 publi c 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).

Standalone Modification Request:
3.2.2.K.2 Nonresidential Parking Requirements
Modification to 3.2.2.K.2 Nonresidential Parking Requirements
The standard states:
Nonresidential uses shall provide a minimum number of parking spaces, and will be limited
to a maximum number of parking spaces as defined by the standards defined below.
(a) The table below sets forth the number of minimum required and maximum allowed parking
spaces based on the square footage of the gross leasable area and of the occupancy of
specified uses.
Determining Parking Count Requirements
The Prospect Sports facility falls under the classification of Unlimited Indoor Recreation Use in the Fort
Collins Land Use Code, Section 5.1.2: “Unlimited Indoor Recreation Use and Facility shall mean
establishments primarily engaged in operations and activities contained within large-scale gymnasium-
type facilities such as for tennis, basketball, swimming, indoor soccer, indoor hockey, or bowling.”
Prospect Sports also easily fits the category of “Health and membership clubs” as is listed as a
commercial/retail use which is permitted in the E District, subject to administrative review.
Land Use Code subsection 3.2.2.K.2 does not include parking parameters specifically for this
classification. Paragraph (d) states “For uses that are not specifically listed in subsections 3.2.2(K)(1) or
(2), the number of parking spaces permitted shall be the number permitted for the most similar use
listed.”
In the table in Section 3.2.2(K)(2), the most comparable classification is ‘Bowling Alley’. This is due to a
bowling alley and the proposed Prospect Sports facility both having a similar person-to-square feet ratio.
Additionally, bowling activities are referenced in the unlimited indoor recreation use definition. The table
requires bowling alleys to provide a minimum of 2.5 spaces per 1,000 gross square feet. If this standard
were to be applied to Prospect Sports Club, 93 off-street parking spaces would be required. This
requirement does not reflect how the building is planned to be utilized, even in peak use scenarios.

3.2.2.K.2 Nonresidential Parking Requirements
‘Unlimited Indoor Recreation’ vs. ‘Limited Indoor Recreation’
The Fort Collins Land Use Code clearly differentiates between ‘Limited Indoor Recreation’ and ‘Unlimited
Indoor Recreation’ uses. ‘Limited Indoor Recreation’ use is defined as “facilities established primarily for
such activities as exercise or athletic facilities; and amusement or recreational services, such as billiard
or pool parlors, pinball/video arcades, dance studios, martial art schools, arts or crafts studios; or
exercise clubs, but not including bowling alleys or establishments which have large -scale gymnasium-
type facilities for such activities as tennis, basketball or competitive swimming. This definition is intended
to restrict the type of recreational use allowed to those small-scale facilities containing no more
than five thousand (5,000) square feet.” Since the proposed Prospect Sports facility does not fit that
description, ‘Limited Indoor Recreation” is not an appropriate classification.
A Feasible Off-Street Parking Count Based on Site Constraints
64 parking spaces can be provided on site as designed. The parking configuration illustrated in figure 2
maximizes on-site parking despite significant site constraints and maintains comfortable bike and
pedestrian environments. This plan developed as a result of several factors:
1. Existing Access Easement
There is an existing access easement to access this site which exists along a portion of the south side of
the property. This reduces the number of possible parking configurations. The design team has been
working to extend access to the west.
2. Existing Pedestrian and Landscape Easements
There exists two very large pedestrian and landscape easements along the entire north and east sides of
the site. These swaths of property cannot be used to contribute to the parking count.
3. Maximized Courts in Facility
The Prospect Sports facility intends to address the lack o f rentable basketball and volleyball courts in
Fort Collins and the surrounding areas. It can contribute to the inventory best by including the highest
number of courts possible. For this site, three courts can fit if the parking count can be right-sized.
4. No Opportunity for Parking Share Agreements
Extensive work has been done to negotiate a parking share agreement with the owners of the adjacent
properties, however neither are willing to participate. Find more information about attempts to initiate
parking shares on page 24 of the Parking Study Report.
Assessment of Existing Parking Conditions
There are approximately 900 feet of on-street parking northbound on Sharp Point Drive from Prospect
Ponds Trailhead to Prospect Road. At 23 feet per space, that is approximately 39 on-street parking
spaces. These spaces are not likely to be utilized by any other development in the future, as there is not
currently a demand for those spaces and the parcel to the east of those spaces is not developed and is
zoned as River Conservation. Sharp Point Drive is signed “no parking” in the southbound direction.
Peak Parking Demand Calculation
The development of this facility has required in-depth analysis of the anticipated building use and users.
Page 26 of the Parking Impact Study describes three distinct building use scenarios and identifies the
ITEM 3, MODIFICATION 3 - ATTACHMENT 1
Packet pg. 76
Prospect Sports Club
Standalone Modification Request:
3.2.2.K.2 Nonresidential Parking Requirements
anticipated peak occupant count for each. The scenario which is the most realistic model to consider
when right-sizing parking for this facility is identified and the assumptions that informed this decision are
outlined.
A Realistic Reduction
To reach an appropriate parking demand figure, reductions must be applied to the anticipated number of
building occupants to account for carpooling and alternate modes of transportation. Pages 28 and 29 of
the Parking Impact Study highlight reasons why parking demand may be reduced based on this specific
facility and site, and offers a realistic parking demand. It is anticipated that the off-street capacity
currently available on site as designed, in combination with the on-street parking nearby, will provide
enough parking capacity to meet peak parking demand during the most typical building use scenario.
Strict Application of the Standard
This facility’s design would be negatively impacted if it were to meet the strict application of the
standard, assuming the standard remains based on the same parking requirements as a bowling alley.
Providing 2.5 parking spaces for every 1000 square feet would force the owner to shrink the size of the
building and reducing the number of courts offered . In this case, the facility would not meet the demand
for rentable court space as well as is currently designed and would pose a real challenge to the project ’s
feasibility.
Conclusions
We submit that the Modification should be supported based on the following findings:
The granting of the modification would not be detrimental to the public good, and meets criteria (1)
“equal to or better than”, (2) “substantially address an important community need”, (3) “exceptional
physical conditions”, and (4) “nominal and inconsequential from the perspective of the whole plan”:
Not Detrimental to the Public Good. The proposed site layout will adequately address demand in such a
way that is not detrimental to the public good. The layout prioritizes the allocation of safe pedestrian and
bicyclist connections to adjacent public sidewalks, provides a sizeable drop-off and pick-up zone to
further separate vehicular and pedestrian conflict, and includes the required number of handicap parking
spaces. The proposed parking layout benefits the community by putting land to better use. By
considering the most common use scenario and implementing opportunities to reduce vehicle parking
demand, the parking capacity can be much more appropriate and supportive of City initiatives to create a
less vehicle-centric community.
Equal or Better. The proposed parking lot is sized to provide an adequate number of parking spaces
based on an in-depth analysis of the specific facility’s intended use instead of trying to meet the
requirements based on a much different facility.
Substantially Address an Important Community Need
Granting this modification from the strict application of the standard will provide substantial benefit to
the city by substantially addressing several important community needs specifically defined in the city's
Comprehensive Plan. This development will provide the opportunity for people to live and access daily
services within walking/bicycling distance of where they work , reinvigorate an older office park, and be a
prime example of the City supporting a variety of high -quality, indoor recreational opportunities for the
entire community. There is a high demand for basketball and volleyball venues in the area, and this

facility will help alleviate the need for athletes and their families to travel to other communities to find
available court space.
Exceptional Physical Conditions. The property is a narrow corner lot within the Prospect East area at
the intersection of East Prospect Road (four-lane arterial) and Sharp Point Drive (major collector). The
buildable area on the lot is bounded on the south by a private access drive, and the north by a 50-foot
pedestrian easement. Limited site access further restricts the design opportunities on the lot. This lot, as
constrained as it is, can support this development well if the right-sizing of parking requirements is
permitted.
Nominal and Inconsequential. The alternative plan meets the purpose of the standard and the criteria for
an exception to the standard because it provides an adequately-sized parking lot for most demand
scenarios and can be supplemented when necessary by nearby, convenient on-street parking. The plan
as submitted will not diverge from the standards of the Land Use Code that are authorized by t his
Division to be modified except in a nominal, inconsequential way when considered from the perspective
of the entire development plan.
For these reasons, the plan will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to outline a parking analysis study developed for the proposed Prospect Sports facility and the
resulting recommendations for providing a logical amount of vehicular parking for the future building’s users.
Prospect Sports will be developed on Parcel Number 8720212005 in the Prospect Park East P.U.D., Lot 5. The currently
undeveloped site is situated on the southwest corner of Prospect Road and Sharp Point Drive. Prospect Sports will be a
specialized indoor athletic venue, servicing basketball and volleyball athletes of Northern Colorado. It will contribute to the
area’s inventory of rentable court space, for which there is a high demand.
Due to the distinct nature of the facility, there are not straight-forward parking requirements in the Fort Collins Land Use
Code. As such, this study presents a recommendation on right-sized parking accommodations for the Prospect Sports
facility. This recommendation is derived from in-depth evaluations of (1) travel and traffi c demand of the immediate area, (2)
availability of alternate modes of transportation to and from the facility, (3) existing parking available in the vicinity, (4)
the facility’s operational programming and times of peak operation, and (5) the building user demographic and their
expected behaviors.

INTRODUCTION
Background
Prospect Sports is being created to fulfi ll a need for basketball
and volleyball courts that are in low supply and high demand
in Northern Colorado. This facility will bolster the community’s
access to recreation, contribute to the City’s mission of
developing convenient, safe, and connected travel routes, and
enhance a key intersection of the Prospect Road Corridor.
Trends in Parking
The City of Fort Collins’ commendable goal and commitment
to implement the 15-minute city concept will strengthen the
multi-modal transportation services available to all populations
throughout the city. Creating the infrastructure of human-
powered transportation will alleviate the focus on automobiles,
and thus parking requirements.
“The 15-minute city concept is rooted in the idea that
cities should be designed to accommodate the needs of
people and enhance opportunities for human-powered
transportation rather than being designed primarily for
automobiles.”
- 15-Minute City Analysis, City of Fort Collins
In many cases, codes can require more parking than
would actually accommodate the needs. This makes
development more costly, reduces the total square footage
of new development in order to dedicate land use to parking
requirements, and makes it harder and less attractive to walk or
bike in these areas.
Right-Sized Parking for Prospect Park
This study evaluates multiple factors to synthesize a ‘Right-Size
Parking’ recommendation. This recommendation is meant to
strike a balance between what may be implied by the existing
Land Use Code parking guidelines, the trend toward multi-modal
transportation and the reduction of land allocated to parking lots,
and the realistic demand for vehicular parking at the Prospect
Sports facility.

Cycling Facilities
There are bicycle lanes along Prospect Road within the study
area. These bicycles lanes connect to other bicycle facilities on
Timberline Road and along the Poudre Trail. Sharp Point Drive,
Midpoint Drive, and Prospect Parkway are all collector streets
that were constructed without dedicated bicycle lanes prior to
the current City of Fort Collins standards. Bicycles can share
the roadway with vehicles on these streets.
The East Poudre Trail is a dedicated bikeway trail that runs
parallel to the proposed Prospect Sports facility on the east

Sidewalks
There are sidewalks adjacent to all streets within the pedestrian infl uence
area. Many of the street cross section elements were built prior to the current
standards. Therefore, some of the sidewalks may be considered to be
substandard.
The sidewalk along the west side of Sharp Point Drive is a meandering, four
foot wide sidewalk with a landscaped parkway between the sidewalk and the
street.
The sidewalk along the south and north side of Prospect Road is a
meandering, four foot wide sidewalk with a landscaped parkway between the
sidewalk and the street.
The other sidewalks in the area are generally four feet wide, with some having
landscaped parkways and others being directly adjacent to the street.
Trail Access
East Poudre Trail is a dedicated walking/multi-modal that runs parallel to the
site on the easterly side of Sharp Point Drive.
Pedestrian Access Easements
There are two existing Pedestrian Access Easements (PAE) which extend
into the site on the North and East sides. These easements were designed
to ensure there would be distance and landscape buffers between pedestrian
and vehicular traffi c.
• A generous PEA runs 50 feet into the site along Prospect Road.

Pedestrian Level of Service
“Map of Pedestrian Infl uence Area for Level Of Service Analysis” on page
12 shows a map of the area that is within 1,320 feet of the Prospect
Spor ts site. The Prospect Sports site is located within an area termed
“Transit Corridor”, which sets the level of service threshold at LOS C
for all measured factors, except for Directness and Security which are
LOS B. There will be six pedestrian destinations within 1,320 feet of the
Prospect Sports site. These are:
1. Poudre Trail to the east of the site
2. The commercial uses to the south of the site
3. Larimer County Detention Center to the southwest of the
site
4. The commercial uses to the west of the site
5. The commercial uses to the northwest of the site
6. The commercial uses to the north of the site
There are sidewalks along all streets in the area of the Prospect Sports
site. Sidewalks will be built within the development that will connect to
existing nearby sidewalks along Sharp Point Drive and Prospect Drive.
As mentioned, many of the street cross section elements were built
prior to the current standards. Therefore, some of the sidewalks may be
considered substandard.
Directness: The distance ratio to all pedestrian destinations is less
than 1.2 (LOS A) using the existing sidewalk system, except for
destination 6. The distance ratio to destination 6 is approximately 2.0
since a pedestrian crossing of Prospect road is necessary. The nearest
pedestrian crossing of Prospect Road is the Poudre Trail underpass.
However, the number of pedestrians desiring to go to/from destination 6
is likely to be nominal.
Continuity: The sidewalk system to all destination areas has no breaks
or gaps. However, most of the sidewalks were built prior to current
standards and some are build directly adjacent to the streets with no
landscaped parkways. Nevertheless, at least LOS C is achieved for all
destination areas.
Street Crossings: There is one destination area that has a signalized
crossing in their route. In order to get to destination 5, there is a
pedestrian/bicycle signal at the Prospect Rd./Prospect Parkway
intersection. In order to get to destination 6, a pedestrian would likely
use the Poudre Trail underpass of Prospect Road. All other destination
areas only require a crossing of a minor street. At least LOS B can be
achieved to all the destination areas.
Visual Interest & Amenity: The visual interest and amenity will be
acceptable at LOS C for destination areas 2-6. For destination area 1, the
LOS will be A.
Security: The security is acceptable at LOS B for all destination areas
since most sidewalks are not adjacent to high volume streets and some
are separated by landscaped parkways, specifi cally the sidewalks along
Prospect Road.

PLANNING CONTEXT
The proposed Prospect Sports site has taken into consideration the existing transit accessibility and considers it to be adequate for
multi-modal transportation. With the quick access to the large City of Fort Collins trails system via the Poudre Trail, being serviced
by a frequent bus route, and the city’s commitment to the 15-minute city concept, the Prospect Sports site will encourage the shift of
transportation to active, human-powered means.
City of Fort Collins Goal for the 15-Minute City Implementation is to Shift To Active Modes Trips: The need for motorized
transportation is minimized, advancing City climate goals, improving air quality, and reducing greenhouse gas emis-
sions, congestion, and parking demand.
- 15-Minute City Implementation Plan, City of Fort Collins
From the analysis done by the City of Fort Collins, the proposed site has a current aggregate bike score of 20-40 and an aggregate
walking score of 60-80. With further implementation of the key strategies and planning efforts by the city, we expect these scores to
increase as the 15-Minute City concept continues to be implemented.
Key City strategies already in place that bolster human-powered transit to the Prospect Sports site:
• Paved Recreational Master Plan: Expanding the trails system encourages a reduction in automobile use as well as
improves access to daily destinations.
• Transit Master Plan: Expanding high-frequency transit supports the reduction of automobile use.
• ReCreate - Parks & Recreation Master Plan: This Plan supports the 15-Minute City goals of reducing automobile use
and improving access to daily destinations by seeking to expand the trail network and ensure access to parks within a
10-minute walk.

Conditions
Land Use and Parking Inventory
The Prospect Sports property is undeveloped and is within the
Employment District. The Employment District is intended to provide
locations for a variety of workplaces including light industrial
uses, research and development activities, offi ces and institutions.
Additionally, the Employment District is intended to encourage the
development of planned offi ce and business parks; to promote
excellence in the design and construction of buildings, outdoor spaces,
transportation facilities and streetscapes; to direct the development
of workplaces consistent with the availability of public facilities and
services; and to continue the vitality and quality of life in adjacent
residential neighborhoods.
The current parking inventory for the undeveloped Prospect Sports
site is zero. It is part of the Prospect Park East P.U.D., which is a
business center that was master planned in the 1970’s. Lots within this
development share access but there are no shared parking agreements
between lots.
Existing Traffi c Conditions
Prospect Road off of I-25 is one of the gateways to Fort Collins.
With Timnath Middle-High School having opened in fall 2022, a new
interchange, and development plans adjacent to the interchange, the
traffi c conditions on Prospect Road are expected to continue to change.
To accommodate increased traffi c, the City of Fort Collins is in the
process of widening Prospect Road to four lanes east of Sharp Point.
The project, called the East Prospect Widening Project, is currently
under design, however construction is not currently funded.
In 2020, the Sharp Point and Nancy Grey Connection Project was
completed just south of the Prospect Sports site. The project provided
a much needed link for pedestrian, bike, vehicular, and emergency
traffi c. This improved safety, connectivity, and mobility in this area.
Advanced Energy and the Liberty Common Elementary School-Plato
Campus are both south of the Prospect Sports site and traffi c to those
destinations contribute to the traffi c past the site. Sharp Point street
conditions are generally focused on supporting students walking and
biking to school. At Liberty Common, traffi c circulation and school drop
off and pickup patterns have been established that do not require
students to cross Sharp Point Drive. The City continues to work
with Liberty Common administrators and parents on creating a safe
transportation environment.
The City recognizes the potential need for a traffi c signal at Sharp Point
Drive and Prospect Road. This may be studied as a part of the East
Prospect Widening Project. There is an existing signal at Prospect Park
Way and Prospect Road that can be utilized for motorists in the area to
access Prospect Road.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: PROSPECT SPORTS CLUB
Prospect Sports will be a specialized 36,400 square foot facility offering
three courts for basketball and volleyball. Courts are reservable for youth
and adult league practice and games. The facility aims to address the
shortage of such venues in the Northern Colorado region.
This facility is not intended for other uses classifi ed as assembly and is
not intended to function as after-school care or a summer camp facility.
The facility will only be available for rent to host basketball or volleyball
practices and games. The majority of the building users will be middle
school to adult-age.
On a typical weekday, the facility will be operational from approximately
8:00am-9:00pm, but the peak use will occur between 3:30pm-9:00pm.
During this time, the play will be divided into two practice session time
slots: one from 3:30-5:30pm and a second from 6:00-8:30pm.
It is anticipated individuals or leagues will rent a court or half-court during
one of these sessions, and it is anticipated there will be a turn-over in
patrons between sessions. It will be common for parents and guardians to
drop-off youth at the facility or to stay to watch the youth’s practice or game.
On some weeknights, one-hour long games may be scheduled.
On weekends, the facility will also operate from 8:00am-9:00pm. Games
are likely to occur on weekends and may draw a slightly larger quantity of
spectators. Courts will be rented similarly to weeknights; in one or two-hour
increments.
Games drawing more than 30 spectators will take place at this venue only
once or twice a year. Only one, highly-attended game will occur at a time, as
only one court is designed to accommodate a larger quantity of spectators.
It is anticipated highly-attended games will draw 80 spectators or less.

Design Priority : Premium Experience
Unlike other facilities, this one will be designed
to offer a premium experience to athletes and
spectators. All aspects of occupant comfort will
be considered; including acoustic comfort and
air quality. Lighting, materials, and amenities
will be designed to support athletic success and
enjoyment.
Design Priority - Effi ciency
The facility is streamlined; designed to provide
comfortable amenities to athletes and spectators
without wasted space. Spatial effi ciency
translates to energy effi ciency; which means the
cost to run this facility is minimized.
Renderings of the interior spaces of Prospect Sports.
Design Priority: Safety & Security
Safety measures will include a secure entry
that is comparable to the ones which RB+B
recommends for today’s K-12 facilities; access
control and surveillance for all other exits; fi re
alarm and sprinkler systems; adequate site
lighting; blast-resistant glazing systems in key
locations; video surveillance; and a security
system capable of locking down in certain
emergencies.
Design Priority - Fit into the Neighborhood
The property is subject to the covenants of
the Prospect Park East P.U.D.., and all plans
and specifi cations must be submitted to
and approved by the Architectural Control
Committee. There is some question as to
whether there is still an active committee,
however the design will be approached in such
a way to meet or exceed the requirements set
in the protective covenants. In addition, the
building and site design will conform to the City
of Fort Collins design guidelines.

PARKING ANALYSIS
Off-Street Parking
64 parking spaces can be provided on-site.
The parking confi guration illustrated on the opposite page maximizes
on-site parking while maintaining a comfortable bike and pedestrian
environment. This plan developed as a result of several factors:
1.Existing Access Easement
There is an existing access easement to access this site which
exists along a portion of the south side of the property. This
reduces the number of possible parking confi gurations. The design
team has been working to extend access to the west.
2.Existing Pedestrian and Landscape Easements
There exists two very large pedestrian and landscape easements
along the entire north and east sides of the site. These swaths of
property cannot be used to contribute to the parking count.
3.Maximized Courts in Facility
The Prospect Sports facility intends to address the lack of rentable
basketball and volleyball courts in Fort Collins and the surrounding
areas. It can contribute to the inventory best by including the
highest number of courts possible. For this site, three courts can fi t
if the parking count can be right-sized.
4.No Success in Creating Parking Share Agreements
Extensive work has been done to negotiate a parking share
agreement with the owners of the adjacent properties, however
neither are willing to participate.

PARKING ANALYSIS
The Prospect Sports facility falls under the classifi cation of Unlimited Indoor
Recreation Use in the Fort Collins Land Use Code, Section 5.1.2:
“Unlimited Indoor Recreation Use and Facility shall mean
establishments primarily engaged in operations and
activities contained within large-scale gymnasium-type
facilities such as for tennis, basketball, swimming, indoor
soccer, indoor hockey, or bowling.”
Prospect Sports also easily fi ts the category of “Health and membership
clubs” as is listed as a commercial/retail use which is permitted in the E
District, subject to administrative review.
Land Use Code subsection 3.2.2 - Access, Circulation and Parking, (K)
Parking Lots - Required Number of Off-Street Spaces for Type of Use, (2)
Nonresidential Parking Requirements does not include parking parameters
specifi cally for this classifi cation. Paragraph (d) states “For uses that
are not specifi cally listed in subsections 3.2.2(K)(1) or (2), the number
of parking spaces permitted shall be the number permitted for the most
similar use listed.”
In the table in Section 3.2.2(K)(2), the most comparable classifi cation is
‘Bowling Alley’. This is due to a bowling alley and the proposed Prospect
Sports facility both having a similar person-to-square feet ratio. Additionally,
bowling activities are referenced in the unlimited indoor recreation use
defi nition. The table requires bowling alleys to provide a minimum of 2.5
spaces per 1,000 gross square feet.
‘Unlimited Indoor Recreation’ vs. ‘Limited Indoor Recreation’
The Fort Collins Land Use Code clearly differentiates between ‘Limited
Indoor Recreation’ and ‘Unlimited Indoor Recreation’ uses. ‘Limited Indoor
Recreation’ use is defi ned as “facilities established primarily for such
activities as exercise or athletic facilities; and amusement or recreational
services, such as billiard or pool parlors, pinball/video arcades, dance
studios, martial art schools, arts or crafts studios; or exercise clubs, but
not including bowling alleys or establishments which have large-scale
gymnasium-type facilities for such activities as tennis, basketball or
competitive swimming. This defi nition is intended to restrict the type of
recreational use allowed to those small-scale facilities containing no more
than fi ve thousand (5,000) square feet.” Since the proposed Prospect Sports
facility does not fi t that description, ‘Limited Indoor Recreation” is not an
appropriate classifi cation.

On-Street Parking
There are approximately 900 feet of on-street parking northbound on
Sharp Point Drive from Prospect Ponds Trailhead to Prospect Road. At
23 feet per space, that is approximately 39 on-street parking spaces.
These spaces are not likely to be utilized by any other development
in the future, as there is not currently a demand for those spaces and
the parcel to the east of those spaces is not developed and is zoned
as River Conservation. Sharp Point Drive is signed “no parking” in the
southbound direction.

PARKING ANALYSIS
The Prospect Sports facility will be the last lot to be developed in the Prospect
Park East PUD. While access easements exist between properties, there are no
existing parking share agreements.
In effort to best utilize the lot’s buildable area and minimize the impact of
additional parking in an already parking lot-dense area, the Prospect Sports
design team engaged with the two adjacent neighbors to propose a Shared
Parking Agreement. The agreement would permit Prospect Sports facility users
to utilize the neighbors’ parking on evenings and weekends.
Neighbor to the South - 1625 Sharp Point Drive
CS1031 COLORADO POWER DST, owned by Capital Square (Glen Allen, VA)
Advanced Energy is the current, long-term tenant on the site to the south
of the proposed Prospect Sports facility. The Prospect Sports design team
approached the ownership group, Capital Square, based out of Delaware,
for a potential parking share. Capital Square is not interested in a parking
share due to their current lease agreement with their tenants.
Neighbor to the West - 1600 and 1612 Prospect Park Way
PND FTC LCC, owned by Basham Group (Denver, CO)
Currently, the property to the west of the site is occupied by Larimer County
as a long-term tenant. In reaching out to the ownership group, it was
established that their parking spaces are at maximum occupancy and will
not participate in a parking share agreement.

PARKING ANALYSIS
Peak Parking Demand Calculation
First, peak occupant models must be determined.
The development of this facility has required in-depth analysis of the
anticipated building use and users. In these analyses, three distinct
building use scenarios were identifi ed. Below, each scenario and the
corresponding anticipated peak occupant count is outlined.
Scenario 1:
Weekday Mornings and Early Afternoons
It is anticipated the facility will have its lowest number of occupants
on weekday mornings and early afternoons. The early morning and the
lunchtime hour will experience the peak usage of this time frame.
Estimated Peak Occupancy for Scenario 1:
Courts (total): 15
Spectators: 0
Weight Room: 10
Coffee Shop: 10
Facility Employees: 2
Total: 37 total occupants
Scenario 2:
Weekday Evenings, and Weekends
On weekdays, the peak use will occur from 3:30pm-9:00pm since that
will see the demand from school-age athletes and adults with standard
daytime work schedules. The building occupant counts will be similar
during weekends. This estimation is valid for practice or standard
league game play.
Estimated Peak Occupancy for Scenario 2:
Courts (total): 60*
Spectators: 15
Weight Room: 15
Coffee Shop: 10
Facility Employees: 3
Total: 103 total occupants
* Total determined by eight players and two coaches/offi cials per team,
two teams per court, three courts total.
Scenario 3:
Large Games
Games drawing a signifi cant quantity of spectators will take place at this
venue only on occasion. If the venue hosts such a game, it will occur
in the central court as it is sized to comfortably accommodate more
spectators. It is anticipated that highly-attended games will draw 60
spectators or less.
Estimated Peak Occupancy for Scenario 3:
Game Court: 24**
Other Courts: 20
(Total, Non-game use)
Game Spectators: 40
Other Court Spectators: 5
Weight Room: 15
Coffee Shop: 10
Facility Employees: 3
Total: 117 total occupants
** Total determined by ten players and two coaches/offi cials per
competing team on one court

PAR KING IMPACT STUDY | MARCH 6, 2023 27
PARKING ANALYSIS
Parking Demand Assumptions
1. Only one highly-attended game will occur at a time.
The building is being designed to accommodate one game with
higher spectator counts. The other two courts will support a lower
quantity of spectators.
2. It will be common for youth to walk and ride bikes to the facility.
With the Poudre Trail running adjacent to the property and covered
bike parking on site, it is likely that many building users, especially
those younger than driving age, will walk or bike to the facility.
3. It will be common for youth to be dropped off and picked up.
Based on how similar facilities operate, youth are very commonly
dropped-off and picked-up by guardians. This is true even for
facilities that are isolated from other common community
amenities which may attract the multi-tasking parent. Being that
the Prospect Sports facility site is located on the edge of central
Fort Collins; in an area with grocery stores, restaurants, and
other commercial and retail destinations, parents are even more
likely to run errands during their child’s practice. This means not
every occupant will require a parking space and emphasizes the
importance of the generous drop-off and pick-up lane planned near
the facility entrance.
4. Courts are rented for a time period by specifi c individuals, teams,
and leagues.
Parking demand will refl ect that schedule and will generally be
steady and predictable.
Conclusion
Scenario 2 is the most appropriate peak demand model to consider
when right-sizing parking for this facility.
• Although the occupancy count generated in Scenario 3 is slightly
higher, the frequency at which this facility hosts large games is
anticipated to be very low. Scenario 2 represents a large portion of
this facility’s overall operation.

PARKING ANALYSIS
Actual Anticipated Building Use
Prospect Sports is a relatively unique sports facility in that its primary
use is dependent on the availability of court space. As such, only so
many occupants can actually utilize the building at one time. There is
not currently a category it fi ts into well in the Land Use Code off-street
parking requirements.
As was stated in the ‘Peak Parking Demand Calculations’ section, the
facility will be utilized mostly on weekday evenings and weekends.
Scenario 2 represents the anticipated peak usage during this time,
however on average, the building will experience a smaller number of
occupants. These estimates are based on studies of similar facilities.
In this facility’s case, right-sizing the parking infrastructure to meet the
most common usage would be appropriate.
High Pedestrian and Bike LOS
Pedestrian and bike access to the site has been determined to be
very direct and safe by the traffi c impact study results. Due to the site
being along the Poudre Trail and the application of landscape-buffered
sidewalks, pedestrians and bicyclists are likely to feel very comfortable
traveling to and from the site.
Proximity to Public Transit
The site is less than 500’ from two transit stops. The ease of accessing
the site via public transportation could very likely infl uence building
users to choose that mode of transportation to the site.
Parking Demand Reduction Opportunities
Shared Travel Options
One-way travel options are rapidly expanding in Fort Collins. These
include walking, transit, e-bike and e-scooter share (Spin), TNCs,
carsharing (eGo), and much more. These travel choices give users even
more choices for fi rst- and last-mile connectivity and greater opportunity
to live a car-free or “car-lite” lifestyle. This site could be a prime example
of the city effectively managing a limited resource today while also
preparing for changing travel behaviors in the future.
On-Street Parking Available for Overflow
There are approximately 39 on-street parking spaces on Sharp Point
that are available if the facility was to fi nd itself ‘under-parked’ during
peak usage. Together with the on-site parking, there would be 99 parking
spaces available for Prospect Sports users.
Carpooling
Teams, leagues, and families will comprise the majority of the building’s
users, so carpooling will be common. Youth teammates are likely
coming from the same school, and adult leagues are frequently made
up of coworkers. Since these teammate relationships are already
established, sharing transportation is convenient and reduces parking
demand.

PAR KING IMPACT STUDY | MARCH 6, 2023 29
PARKING ANALYSIS
Reduction Example
It would be benefi cial to not build the Prospect Sports parking
lot for the 99th percentile demand day, which would generate so
much paved land area that would go unused most of the time.
Instead, by considering the most common use scenario and
implementing opportunities to reduce vehicle parking demand,
the parking capacity can be much more appropriate.
The following is an exercise to compare available parking to
the average, realistic parking demand.
Take the most common peak usage occupant number; 103
occupants during weeknights and weekends, and allow for a
30% reduction to achieve an average occupant count during this
time. This equals 72 occupants.
Taking into account the likelihood that teammates, families, and
adult league members will carpool to the facility, as well as the
likelihood of users traveling via another mode of transportation
or being dropped-off, a 15% reduction seems reasonable. That
equals a parking demand of 61 spaces.
The site as is currently designed to accommodate 64 parking
spaces; essentially the parking demand for a majority of the
building’s operation.
Including the off-street parking along the east side of Sharp
Point, the facility has enough parking capacity to meet even
peak parking demand during weeknights and weekends.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Final Recommendation
This study evaluated multiple factors to synthesize a ‘Right-Size Parking’
recommendation for the proposed Prospect Sports facility. A lack of a
clear parking requirement for this type of facility in the Land Use Code
and the exceptional physical conditions of the site were the catalysts
of this investigation. The recommended solution is intended to strike
a balance amongst meeting the intent of parking standards, the trend
toward multi-modal transportation and the reduction of land allocated
to parking lots, and the actual anticipated parking demand for the
proposed facility.
64 off-street parking spaces, combined with roughly 39 on-street
parking spaces, will be suffi cient to meet the facility’s average-to-peak
parking demand while also advancing the purposes of the Land Use
Code.
The current site plan, which accommodates 60 parking spaces,
maximizes parking capacity while maintaining the facility’s ability
to contribute the highest quantity of rentable court space for the
community’s enjoyment. A number of site-related factors impacted
the quantity of possible off-street parking spaces, including signifi cant
pedestrian and landscape easements, an existing site access easement,
and the established parking lot patterns of adjacent properties.
The proposed site layout will adequately address demand in such a
way that is not detrimental to the public good. The layout prioritizes
the allocation of safe pedestrian and bicyclist connections to adjacent
public sidewalks, provides a sizeable drop-off and pick-up zone to
further separate vehicular and pedestrian confl ict, and includes the
required number of handicap parking spaces. The parking layout
ties into the parking context and promotes the design of an urban
environment that is built to human scale.

1. Project Introduction
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This Major Amendment is a follow -up matter that was discussed extensively at the Planning and Zoning
Commission hearing on June 16, 2022, where t he Enclave at Redwood development plan was approved
by the Commission .
The approved plan extends the existing Lupine Drive local street stub into the Enclave development as
required under code standard s.
The code standards include a provision allowing for Alternative Compliance.
There was, and still is, strong opposition by residents of the existing Redwood Meadows development to
this vehicular street connection , who contend that Alternative Compliance is warranted.
In response, t he Commission discussed the idea of removing the Lupine connection as a local street per se
with vehicular access . After discussion , the Commission agreed that staff analysis and findings on a request
for Alternative Compliance w ere needed with further consideration beyond the hearing.
At the end, the Commission approved the plan as is, but encouraged the applicant to come back with a
Major Amendment to the plan, with an Alternative Compliance connection for pedestrian, bicycle, and
emergency access only.
The applicant’s position is that the y a re “agn ostic” and their plan can work either way for their purposes.
Accordin gly, t he applicant has submitted this proposed Major Amendment.

B. DEVELOPMENT STATUS/BACKGROUND
The existing Meadows at Redwood was developed in 1982 as Phase 1 of the Redwood Village
Preliminary PUD, below, which included additional property which never proceeded to development and
is now approved as t he Enclave at Redwood.
C. OVERVIEW OF MAIN CONSIDERATIONS IN STAFF’S REVIEW
Main considerations are :
• t he purpose of the street pattern standards emphasizing interconnectedness knitting
developments together; for which Alternative Compliance is proposed ;
• the code language of the p ertinent standards for street connections and extending existing
street stubs;
• t he code language for Alternative Compliance emphasizing nonvehicular access and level of
service ; and

• th e traffic study information regarding level of service .
Also, staff is thoroughly familiar with the reasons why homeowners in the existing Meadows at
Redwood development oppose the extension of the Lupine Drive street stub as a local street; and staff
has given that full consideration and discussion .
2. City Plan Vision and Policy Background
Code standards are intended to implement the City’s comprehensive plan--City Plan. A pervasive theme
throughout City Plan is for the city to evolve with a unifying interconnected town -like pattern of streets
and blocks and not a series of separate individual developments.
Excerpts from City Plan are provided below for background understanding to aid evaluation of the
pertinent code standards. Underlines are language that staff finds most pertinent.
Policy LIV 4.1 - NEW NEIGHBORHOODS
Encou rage creativity in the design and construction of new neighborhoods that: » Provides a unifying and
interconnected framework of streets, sidewalks, walkway spines and other public spaces; » Expands
housing options, including higher density and mixed-use buildings; » Offers opportunities to age in place;
» Improves access to services and amenities; and » Incorporates unique site conditions.
Policy LIV 4.2 - COMPATIBILITY OF ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT
Ensure that development that occurs in adjacent districts complements and enhances the positive qualities
of existing neighborhoods. Developments that share a property line and/or street frontage with an existing
neighborhood should promote compatibility by: » Continuing established block patterns and streets to
impro ve access to services and amenities from the adjacent neighborhood; » Incorporating context-
sensitive buildings and site features (e.g., similar size, scale and materials); and » Locating parking and
service areas where impacts on existing neighborhoods—such as noise and traffic—will be minimized.
Policy T 2.3 - LAYERED NETWORK
Develop a layered network for Fort Collins that designates a continuous, connected, efficient, convenient
and comfortable network for bicycling, walking, transit and vehicles .
Policy T 7.3 - NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS FOR WALKING Provide an attractive, safe environment for
pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers on neighborhood streets with well-designed streetscapes, including
detached sidewalks, parkways and well-defined crosswalks.
NEIGHBORHOODS in the overall City Structure Plan
Neighborhoods are the primary building blocks of the community. Whether existing or planned,
neighborhoods in Fort Collins will vary in the mix of housing types and supporting uses that are provided;
the extent to which they are accessible to adjoining districts, schools, parks, civic uses, transit and other
services; and their overall character and form. Routine reinvestment in existing properties and some infill
on vacant lots is to be expected in all neighborhoods. The degree to which existing neighborhoods are likely
to experience more significant changes during the planning horizon will be influenced by location, the age
and condition of existing housing stock, and the availability of vacant lots or larger plots of land. The City
will continue to use the subarea and neighborhood planning process to address specific issues and

opportunities. Enhancing connectivity within and between existing and future neighborhoods and
improving access to nature are priorities for all neighborhoods.
‘Neighborhood Livability and Social Health’ is one of seven organizing outcome areas covered in the City Plan
comprehensive vision for the cit y’s continual evolution . It inevitably involve s tensions and different perspectives
about quality of life and new impacts f rom co ntinual growth and change.
P rinciples and policies recognize those different perspectives and require a degree of interpretation.
For example, Principle LIV 2 on page 40, “Promote infill and redevelopment”, is followed on page 41 with
Principle LIV 3, “Maintain and enhance our unique character and sense of place as the community grows.”
These two principles may reflect different perspectives.
Likewise, t h e next page 42 in City Plan juxtaposes Principle LIV 4 “Enhance neighborhood livability”, with
Principle LIV 5, “Create more opportunities for housing choices.”
Again, these principles cou ld be interpreted differently from different perspectives. For exist ing homeowners,
“enhancing neighborhood livability” does not typically include gro wth and change that would add more people
and their vehicles; while “create more opportunities for housing choices” reflects a whole approach in City Plan
to accommodating fo r growth and change.
City Plan reflect s multiple different perspectives, and staff attempts to find a balance in development plans.
3. Pertinent Land Use Code Standards
A. DIVISION 3.6 - TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION
Th e following Section s are intended to ensure that the transportation system is in conformance with
adopted transportation plans and policies established by the City. Underlines are language that staff
finds most pertinent.
Applicable
Code Standard
Code Language and Evaluation
3.6.3 Street
Pattern and
Connectivity
(A) – Purpose
Code language:
“This Section is intended to ensure that the local street system is well designed with
regard to safety, efficiency and convenience for automobile, bicycle, pedestrian and
transit modes of travel.
For the purposes of this Division, "local street system" shall mean the
interconnected system of collector and local streets providing access to
development from an arterial street.”
Staff Evaluation
Staff finds that the purposes are better met with a local street connection at
Lupine, than t hey would be with the alternative access , because of slightly
lower efficiency and convenience for automobile traffic.

It is a matter of degree. The proposed alternative could also fit with this
purpose statement. That is, the alternative connection could be considered to
be a part of the local street system , with Bergen Drive providing access for
vehicles within level of service metric criteria .
More specific evaluation is under the additional standards discussed below.
3.6.3(B) –
General
Standard
Code language:
“The local street system of any proposed development shall be designed to be safe,
efficient, convenient and attractive, considering use by all modes of transportation
that will use the system, (including, without limitation, cars, trucks, buses, bicycles,
pedestrians and emergency vehicles). The local street system shall provide multiple
direct connections to and between local destinations such as parks, schools and
shopping. Local streets must provide for both intra - and inter-neighborhood
conn ections to knit developments together, rather than forming barriers between
them. The street configuration within each parcel must contribute to the street
system of the neighborhood.”
Staff Evaluation
Staff finds that the alternative connection could be considered a part of the
local street system thus would contribute to meeting this general standard.
However, it would do so to a lesser degree than if Lupine is extended as a local
street per se.
A local street would provide “multiple direct connections ” for vehicles together
with the other modes of access and circulation; and it would knit
developments together in the most legible way.
Without the vehicular access, the local street system would be slightly less
efficient and convenient. It would require out-of-direction travel for vehicular
access to a single connection to and from Redwood Street and the many
destinations accessed via Redwood. The additional distance would be 560-760
feet of southbound travel for north on Redwood Street.
Alternative acce ss with a n obstruction for vehicles separating the two
developments would convey a degree of separateness and two different
communities of interest rather than Fort Collins being the community of
interest into which the multiple developments fit as integral parts.

Exa mple s of alternative connection s : not the same design as proposed; b ut they help convey a sense of the effect of providing pedestrian/bicycle access only along a street alignment, as different from a continuous street system.
3.6.3(F) –
Utilization and
Provision of
Sub -Arterial
Street
Connections
to and from
Adjacent
Developments
Code language:
“All development plans shall incorporate and continue all sub-arterial streets
stubbed to the boundary of the development plan by previously approved
development plans or existing development. All development plans shall provide for
future public street connections to adjacent developable parcels by providing a local
street connection spaced at intervals not to exceed six hundred sixty (660) feet along
each development plan boundary that abuts potentially developable or
redevelopable land.”
Staff Evaluation
This standard clearly favors extending Lupine Drive as a local street per se. The
City’s whole approach to development is to have neighborhood street
connections at least every 660 feet to establish a certain scale and framework
for the pattern of development.

The distance between Bergen Drive and Conifer Street is 1,150 feet. The
distance along the western edge of the Enclave property between Bergen Drive
and the north property line is 1,000 feet.
Without the Lupine Street connection, 560 feet of out-of-direction travel is
required to access Redwood for a significant number of homes in the Enclave –
i.e., d rivers wanting to go north would have to first go south to Bergen Street as
the only access.
3.6.3(H) –
Alternative
Compliance
Code language:
Upon request by an applicant, the decision maker may approve an alternative
development plan that may be substituted in whole or in part for a plan meeting
the standards of this Section.
(1) Procedure. Alternative compliance development plans shall be prepared and
submitted in accordance with submittal requirements for plans as set forth in this
Section. The plan and design shall clearly identify and discuss the alternatives
proposed and the ways in which the plan will better accomplish the purpose of this
Sect ion than would a plan which complies with the standards of this Section.
(2) Review Criteria. To approve an alternative plan, the decision maker must first
find that the proposed alternative plan accomplishes the purposes of this Division
equally well or better than would a plan and design which complies with the
standards of this Division, and that any reduction in access and circulation for
vehicles maintains facilities for bicycle, pedestrian and transit, to the maximum
extent feasible.
In reviewing the proposed alternative plan, the decision maker shall take into
account whether the alternative design minimizes the impacts on natural areas
and features, fosters nonvehicular access, provides for distribution of the
development's traffic without exceeding level of service standards, enhances
neighborhood continuity and connectivity and provides direct, sub-arterial street
access to any parks, schools, neighborhood centers, commercial uses, employment
uses and Neighborhood Commercial Districts within or adjacent to the
development from existing or future adjacent development within the same section
mile.
Staff Evaluation:
There are reasons to support the request for the alternative compliance, and
reasons to support the plan as approved.
The reasons partially cancel each other out, but staff is unable to find
adequate reason to tip the balance in support of the alternative.
The following selected wording, repeated from the standards above, tips the
balance in favor of connecting the street in staff’s discussions:
To recommend approval, staff would need to find that the alternative plan
“accomplishes the purposes of this Division equally well or better than would a
Packet pg. 129
Planning & Zoning Commission Hearing - Agenda Item 4
MJA 220003 | Enclave at Redwood Major Amendment
Thursday, April 21, 2022 | Page 9 of 12
Back to Top
plan and design which complies with the standards of this Division.” For that
finding, staff would take into account “whether the alternative enhances
neighborhood continuity and connectivity and provides direct, sub-arterial street
access…”
…safety, efficiency and convenience for automobile, bicycle, pedestria n, and transit
modes of travel…
… interconnected system of collector and local streets…
…efficient, convenient and attractive, considering use by all modes of
transportation that will use the system, (including, without limitation, cars, trucks,
buses…
…multiple direct connections…
…both intra - and inter-neighborhood connections to knit developments together,
rather than forming barriers between them. The street configuration within each
parcel must contribute to the street system of the neighborhood.
All development plans shall incorporate and continue all sub-arterial streets
stubbed to the boundary of the development plan by previously approved
development plans or existing development. All development plans shall provide
for future public street connections to adjacent developable parcels by providing a
local street connection spaced at intervals not to exceed six hundred sixty (660) feet
along each development plan boundary that abuts potentially developable or
redevelopable land.
Staff does not find that the alternative compliance plan is “equal or better”
considering the direction in all of this language.
Note that the most conservative (i.e., maximum) 2040 traffic projection shows
that traffic volume on Lupine Street would remain below the desired threshold
for public local streets.

If the Commission denies the Major Amendment, staff will follow up with the
applicant to incorporate a narrowed “neck down” and crosswalk as a traffic
calm ing measure to mark the transition. Staff recommends extending the
narrowed portion clear to the property line, increasing the landscaping in this
transitional stretch as an attractive low-speed connection.
Staff recognizes and acknowledges other language in the standards that could
be found to support the request, including:
• The alternative would still provide for distribution of the
development’s traffic without creating substandard levels of service at
any other intersections or streets.
• The alternative would foster non-vehicular access.
• The alternative connection knits the different developments together
with an attractive landscaped connection.
Other considerations that could be weighed in support of the request include:
• While Lupine Street was originally stubbed to the boundary with the
intent to extend into subsequent phases of the Redwood Village
development plan, conditions are significantly changed with the
Enclave and Northfield multi-family developments as compared to the
original plan for more detached houses in the same pattern as the
existing Meadows at Redwood development. For what it is worth, note
that the Enclave has about 80 more homes than the original Redwood
Village plan.
TRAFFIC CALMING “NECK
DOWN” AND CROSSWALK

• While the alternative would thwart direct access by requiring out-of-
direction travel for vehicles, the inconvenience for people driving
vehicles, in terms of time and comfort, would be relatively minor and
not unusual. For example, Mullein Drive in the existing development
requires a similar distance of out -of-direction travel for vehicles.
In summary, reasons can be found to support the alternative; and to support
the approved plan. To the degree that the reasons cancel each other out, staff
considered t he strong and clear desire of existing residents as a potential
determining factor.
On balance, a fter extensive consideration, staff was unable to find a sound
basis to tip the balance in support of the amendment.
3.6.4 –
Transportation
Level of Service
This Section contains requirements for the transportation needs of proposed
development to be safely accommodated by the existing transportation system, or
that appropriate mitigation of impacts will be provided by the development in
order to meet adopted Le ve l of Se rvice (LOS) stan d ard s.
A Transportation Impact Study (TIS) was required under this Section to evaluate
the traffic generation and distribution added by the Enclave development.
The TIS and a supplemental memo (attached) were part of the origin al approved
plan . The memo was an addendum to the TIS to incorporate traffic from the
recent Northfield development plan, which connects to and through the Enclave
and was not included in the original TIS.
Staff provided a memo at the approval hearing explaining why the addendum was
done, and explaining that it did not change staff findings or recommendations
(also attached).
Staff Evaluation
In reviewing all the traffic study information, staff finds that the plan can
function at an acceptable LOS from a traffic standpoint with either the street
connection as approved, or with the alternative connection.
Using a maximum assumption for Northfield traffic using Lupine Drive, t he
total 2040 daily projected traffic on Lupine is estimated to be 915 trips. The
desirable threshold on a Local Street is 1,000 vehicles per day.

4. Public Outreach
Extensive public discussion occurred during the review of the approved plan, including meetings wit h
affected neighbors and two Planning and Zoning Commission hearings (April and June, 2022).
5. Findings of Fact/Conclusion
In evaluating the request for t he Enclave at Redwood Major Amendment #MJA2 20003, s taff makes the
following findings of fact:
• The request for Alternative Compliance with standards in Land Use Code Sections 3.6.3 (A), (B), and (F)
to extend the Lupine Street stub into the Enclave as a pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency access-only
connection that prevents vehicular connectivity, is not equal to or better than the approved plan
meeting the standards. This is because the standards emphasize direct multiple street access for
vehicles as well as pedestrians and bicycles.
• The request is consistent with the Alternative Compliance criteria in Section 3.6.3(H) t o a degree,
because of emphasis on pedestrian and bicycle access, and the alternative plan would link
development projects together with an attractive connection. However, the alternative is not as good
as the approved plan, which is more consistent with more of the standards to a greater degree.
6. Recommendation
Staff recommends denial of the request for Alternative Compliance .
If denied, then prior to Final Plan approval, staff will require the extension of the Lupine Street to be
designed with a narrowed traffic calming “neck down” and a prominent crosswalk.

Alternative Compliance Request - Connectivity
10/19/2022
LUC 3.6.3(F) - Utilization and Provision of Sub-Arterial Street Connections to and From
Adjacent Developments and Developable Parcels.
All development plans shall incorporate and continue all sub-arterial streets stubbed to the
boundary of the development plan by previously approved development plans or existing
development. All development plans shall provide for future public street connections to
adjacent developable parcels by providing a local street connection spaced at intervals not to
exceed six hundred sixty (660) feet along each development plan boundary that abuts
potentially developable or redevelopable land.
Reason for the Request
The proposed site plan differs from the standards outlined in LUC 3.6.3(F) along the western
boundary of the site by not providing a vehicular connection to Lupine Drive, which was
designed to stub in at the eastern property boundary of the Meadows at Redwood PUD. The
connection has not been made in order to address comments from Commissions and neighbors
heard at the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing which approved the Enclave at
Redwood Project Development Plan. Through recurring neighborhood outreach, it was heard
that a connection would not be desirable by the neighbors due to concerns of cut-through traffic
and safety concerns. For this reason an alternative design has been proposed to the approved
PDP which provides pedestrian, bicycle and emergency access to the Meadows at Redwood
neighborhood without providing full vehicular connectivity.
Justifications
The Land Use Code states that the decision-maker may grant Alternative Compliance only if it
finds that:
1.the proposed alternative plan accomplishes the purposes of this Division equally well or
better than would a plan and design which complies with the standards of this Division;
The purpose of this division revolves around “safety, efficiency and convenience
for automobile, bicycle and pedestrians” - LUC 3.6.3(A). While the approved PDP
for Enclave at Redwood, which created a standard connection to Lupine Drive,
meets all Code and safety standards, it would likely create an inefficient use and
inconvenience to the existing residents automobile use. According to an updated
traffic memo attached with this request, the turning movements which involve
traffic on Lupine Drive at the Lupine and Redwood intersection would likely triple
from the baseline counts studied in 2018 by adding traffic from the Enclave at
Redwood and adjacent Northfield development (see exhibit below). Again, this
increase is within an acceptable range for the local street classification, but the
additional traffic would be noticed by the residences of Redwood Meadows.
Given that Lupine Drive is constructed to outdated standards (attached walks,
more narrow drive), the additional traffic could present added safety concerns for
the residents.

The alternative plan proposes to close the connection to Lupine Drive to public
vehicular traffic. Efficiency and convenience of pedestrian and bicycle
connectivity is still accommodated for by providing two, five-foot-wide concrete
walks which double as wheel paths for emergency access. A five-foot-wide
drivable grass-paver median is located between the concrete walks. The walks
are rated to 40 tons, which creates a drivable surface for standard emergency
vehicles. A mountable curb and removable bollards are proposed at the
connection to guarantee it will not be used by public vehicles. The alternative
plan accomplishes the purposes of this Division as equally well as the approved
PDP because it does not create substandard conditions at any other
intersections or roadways. Additionally, still allows for efficient and convenient
movement of bicycles and pedestrians.
2.any reduction in access and circulation for vehicles maintains facilities for bicycle,
pedestrian and transit, to the maximum extent feasible.
The alternative plan maintains adequate facilities for bicycle and pedestrians as
mentioned above. Transit was not taken into account in this condition due to the
absence of public transportation routes that include Lupine Drive.

The decision-maker shall also “take into account” whether the alternative design achieves the
following:
•minimizes the impacts on natural areas and features,
o The alternative design has no substantial impacts on natural features as there
are no such defined features in the vicinity.
•fosters nonvehicular access,
o The alternative design increases the pedestrian and bicycle connectivity by
linking existing sidewalks to the street network offered at the Enclave.
•provides for distribution of the development's traffic without exceeding level of service
standards,
o The applicant has provided a Traffic Impact Study which demonstrates that the
alternative design does not exceed level of service standards.
•enhances neighborhood continuity and connectivity
o The alternative design increases the connectivity to the street and open space
network offered at the Enclave. Residents in the Meadows at Redwood PUD
subdivision will now have access to a neighborhood park and regional trail
system via the alternative pedestrian connection.
•and provides direct, sub-arterial street access to any parks, schools, neighborhood
centers, commercial uses, employment uses and Neighborhood Commercial Districts
within or adjacent to the development from existing or future adjacent development
within the same section mile.
o As mentioned above, the alternative design provides connections from the
existing pedestrian network to a proposed neighborhood park and access to
Redwood Street. From Redwood Street pedestrians have multiple routes to head
west to Neighborhood Commercial Districts along College Ave and Suniga Road.

STUDY SCOPE
The scope of work for this study was developed as a supplement to the recent traffic
study for the site entitled “Retreat at Fort Collins Transportation Impact Study”, August
2018, prepared by Delich Associates (to be referred to as Retreat TIS). This previous
study addressed the potential impacts of a 739-bed student apartment complex. The
Enclave at Redwood will generate fewer trips than this previously proposed apartment
complex. The scope of the traffic impact study for the Enclave at Redwood will present
the potential traffic conditions on Redwood Street at three intersections:
• Redwood Street and Suniga Road
• Redwood Street and Lupine Drive
• Redwood Street and the proposed Street BB
This study will focus on the build out of the development looking at both the short and
long-range future years of 2022 and 2040. Additional traffic studies will be performed as
each phase of development is proposed. The analysis of future year traffic forecasts is
based on Projected conditions both with and without the addition of the Project traffic.
The following transportation scenarios were analyzed for the AM and PM peak hours:
• Existing Conditions – The analysis of existing traffic conditions provides a basis
for the remainder of the study. The existing transportation system is described.
Peak hour intersection operations are presented from the Retreat TIS.
• Project Travel Demand – The traffic generated by the Project will be estimated,
distributed, and assigned to the transportation network.
• 2022 and 2040 Background Conditions – Future traffic conditions are
Projected without the proposed Project for two future years: 2022 the long-range
year 2040. The future traffic volumes were obtained from the Retreat TIS.
• 2022 and 2040 Total Future Conditions – The traffic associated with the
Project will be Projected and added to the Background traffic. The intersection
operations will be determined.

2 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The transportation system has numerous elements that are described in this chapter.
The roadway network identified for this study is described and traffic volume information
is presented for the study intersections.
ADJACENT LAND USE
North and west of the Project is residential use. The proposed Northfield project will be
south and east of the Project. Two local roads were designed to provide connections
between the Enclave and Northfield. These roads also connect to Suniga road to the
east of Redwood Street.
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
The primary roadways that serve the Project site are described below. Roadway
designations were provided in the Fort Collins Transportation Master Plan, March 31,
2020.
Roadway Network
Redwood Street – This is a two-lane north-south collector street that provides mobility
between Old Town north to Willox Lane. There are bike lanes on both sides of the
road. Sidewalks exist adjacent to developed areas. The speed limit is posted at 30
mph. Parking is allowed on both sides of the street. Transfort provides service on
Redwood Street with Routs 8 and 81. They provide service between the Downtown
Transit Center and Terry Lake Road/Poudre Valley Mobile Home Park (north on
College Avenue).
Suniga Road – This east-west roadway was recently constructed between College
Avenue and Redwood Street. Suniga Road is a planned four-lane arterial street that
will provide connectivity between College Avenue and Timberline Road. Additional
portions of Suniga Road will be constructed with this Project and the Northfield project.
Lupine Drive – This is a two-lane residential street that provides mobility to residents
in both Redwood Meadows and The Outpost. Parking and attached sidewalks are
provided on both sides of Lupine Drive within Redwood Meadows. West of Redwood
Street, Lupine Drive has detached sidewalks and parking on the north side. No
parking is allowed on the south side. Similar to most residential streets, there is no
posted speed limit.

EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Recent intersection operations were evaluated for both the morning and evening peak
hours. Intersection count data was collected in August of 2017 as part of the Retreat
TIS. The resulting peak hour turning movements are provided on Figure 3. The current
lane configurations of the study intersections are shown on Figure 4.

Intersection Level of Service Analysis Methodologies
Transportation professionals evaluate intersections to determine how they are currently
operating and will operate in the future. The methods employed can be found in the
Transportation Research Board’s, 6th Edition, 2016 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM).
Level of service (LOS) is based on a “graded” system from LOS A, very little to no
delays, to LOS F which represents excessive delays and congestion.
The City of Fort Collins has established guidelines for acceptable intersection
operations. These are provided within the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards
(LCUASS), originally adopted January 2, 2001, with updates effective September 19,
2016. The guidelines are provided in Table 1.

Peak hour levels of motor vehicle delay at unsignalized intersections were estimated
using the method from Chapter 17 of the 2016 Highway Capacity Manual. The LOS for
the entire intersection and each of the constrained movements is reported. Table 2
summarizes the relationship between average control delay per vehicle and LOS for
unsignalized intersections.

Signalized Intersections
Peak hour levels of motor vehicle delay at signalized intersections were estimated using
methods provided in Transportation Research Board’s 2010 Highway Capacity Manual.
This operations analysis method uses various intersection characteristics (such as traffic
volumes, lane geometry, and signal phasing) to estimate the average control delay
experienced by motorists traveling through an intersection. Control delay incorporates
delay associated with deceleration, acceleration, stopping, and moving up in the queue
Table 3 summarizes the relationship between average control delay per vehicle and
LOS for signalized intersections.

Vehicle
(Seconds) Description
A £10.0
Free Flow or Insignificant Delays: Operations with very low
delay, when signal progression is extremely favorable and
most vehicles arrive during the green light phase. Most
vehicles do not stop at all.
B >10.0 and £20.0
Stable Operation or Minimal Delays: Generally, occurs with
good signal progression and/or short cycle lengths. More
vehicles stop than with LOS A, causing higher levels of
average delay. An occasional approach phase is fully
utilized.
C >20.0 and £35.0
Stable Operation or Acceptable Delays: Higher delays
resulting from fair signal progression and/or longer cycle
lengths. Drivers begin having to wait through more than one
red light. Most drivers feel somewhat restricted.
D >35.0 and £55.0
Approaching Unstable or Tolerable Delays: Influence of
congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays result
from unfavorable signal progression, long cycle lengths, or
high volume to capacity ratios. Many vehicles stop. Drivers
may have to wait through more than one red light. Queues
may develop, but dissipate rapidly, without excessive
delays.
E >55.0 and £80.0
Unstable Operation or Significant Delays: Considered to be
the limit of acceptable delay. High delays indicate poor
signal progression, long cycle lengths and high volume to
capacity ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent
occurrences. Vehicles may wait through several signal
cycles. Long queues form upstream from intersection.
F >80.0
Forced Flow or Excessive Delays: Occurs with
oversaturation when flows exceed the intersection capacity.
Represents jammed conditions. Many cycle failures.
Queues may block upstream intersections.

3 PROJECT TRAVEL DEMAND
This chapter provides an overview of the Project and a description of the travel demand
methodology to estimate vehicle trip generation, distribution, and assignment of Project-
generated traffic along area roadways and intersections.
PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
The proposed Enclave at Redwood allows for 230 dwellings. Figure 2 depicts the site
plan.
• Detached sidewalks will be provided throughout the site. The internal roadways
have been designed to accommodate parking on one side of the road.
• A bicycle and pedestrian connection will be provided from the south side of the
project to Redwood Meadows.
• Connection on the northeast of the site to a future regional trail and the Northfield
project.
PROJECT TRIP GENERATION
The trip generation characteristics of the Project were estimated using data from the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition. Table 5
provides the trip generation estimated for the Project. The table also provides a
comparison between the Retreat and the Enclave at Redwood. The difference between
the two projects shows that the Enclave at Redwood will generate fewer trips than the
Retreat. As indicated in the table, the full buildout of the Project is estimated to generate
approximately 1,700 daily trips, 106 morning, and 124 evening peak hour trips.

PROJECT TRIP DISTRIBUTION | ASSIGNMENT
The distribution of the Project traffic onto the roadway system was based on the pattern
established in the Retreat TIS. As documented in the Retreat TIS the distribution was
based on “existing/future travel patterns, land uses in the area, consideration of trip
attractions/productions in the area, and engineering judgment.” The original distribution
pattern was adjusted due to the elimination of the connection to Conifer Street. The
overall Project trip distribution is depicted on Figure 5.
The resulting Project assigned peak hour traffic volumes are shown on Figure 6.

4 FUTURE TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
Estimates of future traffic conditions both with and without the proposed Project were
necessary to evaluate the potential impact of the Project on the local street system. The
background base traffic scenario represents future traffic conditions without the addition
of the Project, while the total scenario represents future traffic conditions with completion
of the proposed Enclave at Redwood. The future years of 2022 and 2040 were
analyzed. The development of these future traffic scenarios is described in this chapter.
BACKGROUND 2022 TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
The background traffic Projections reflect growth in traffic from ambient growth and
approved Projects in the area. The ambient growth reflects additional traffic due to
regional growth both in and outside of the study area. The background traffic at the
existing study intersections was based on the traffic Projections from the Retreat TIS.
This includes:
• The unbuilt portions of Old Town North, Crowne at Old Town North, Waters’
Edge Phase 1, and Northfield Phase 1.
• Ambient growth of 2% per year.
The resulting Background 2022 traffic Projections for the study intersections are
provided on Figure 7.
BACKGROUND 2040 TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
The background traffic Projections for the long-range future year 2040 were also based
on the Retreat TIS. This includes all the Projects identified for 2022. The 2040
background projections also include:
• Completion of Phase 2 of Northfield.
• Completion of Suniga Road to Timberline Road.
• Ambient growth of 2% per year.
The resulting Background 2040 traffic Projections for the study intersections are
provided on Figure 8.

5 SITE DESIGN AND AUXILIARY LANES
SITE DESIGN
The Enclave at Redwood was designed with a grid roadway network to allow for two
connections to both Redwood Street and Suniga Road. The interconnected grid allows
for numerous mobility options. The local street system, of both public and private
streets, will accommodate the project and the existing residential homes.
AUXILIARY LANES
An analysis was conducted to determine the need for auxiliary right-turn and left-turn
lanes on the adjacent roadways at both the Project access locations and study
intersections. The criteria for auxiliary lanes are based on the LCUASS guidelines. The
warrants for the left and right turn lanes are provided in Appendix A.
Based on the City’s criteria a:
• southbound right-turn lane will be necessary at Redwood Street and Suniga
Road for the long-range 2040 conditions.

6 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
This chapter presents an analysis of the potential impacts of the traffic generated by the
proposed Enclave at Redwood on the local street system. The analysis compares the
Projected levels of service at each study intersection under future background and total
conditions to estimate the incremental increase in the delay caused by the proposed
Project. This provides the information needed to assess the potential impact of the
Project using the significance criteria.
SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC IMPACT CRITERIA
Threshold criteria were applied to determine if the growth in traffic due to regional
growth/other Projects and/or the proposed Project has a significant traffic impact at an
intersection. If the future traffic Projections for either Background (without Project) or
Total (with Project) resulted in any portion of an intersection to exceed the LOS
standards, this would be considered an impact.
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS 2022
The future 2022 traffic Projections at the study intersections were analyzed to determine
their future operating conditions. The future 2022 intersection geometry is depicted on
Figure 11.

FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS 2040
The future 2040 traffic projections at each of the study intersections were analyzed to
determine their operating conditions. The 2040 intersection geometry is illustrated on
Figure 12. The operational results, for each of the study intersections, are provided in
Table 7 for both the background and total traffic scenarios. The study results for 2040
indicate the study intersections will operate at acceptable levels, except for several
movements at Redwood Street and Suniga Road under stop-controlled operations.
Table 7 also includes an analysis of Redwood Street at Suniga Road with signalization.
The need for signalization of an intersection is based upon guidelines set forth in the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Street and Highways (MUTCD), by the
Federal Highway Administration, 2009 Editions with revisions dated May 2012. This
guiding manual provides nine warrants to determine the need for a signal. Warrant 3 is
related to the peak hour traffic. This warrant is provided in Appendix C. Based on the
projected 2040 volumes at this intersection it may warrant signalization. The intersection
operations with a signal are shown in Table 7 and indicate the intersection would
operate acceptably.

FUTURE 2040 IMPROVEMENT MEASURES
The proposed improvement measures include the following:
• Provide a southbound right-turn lane at Redwood Street and Suniga Road. This
improvement is related to the Project.
• Signalize Redwood Street and Suniga Road. Signalization is necessary under
both Background and Total traffic conditions.

7 OTHER MOBILITY MODES
The City of Fort Collins has established pedestrian and bicycle level of service
definitions. They address a number of elements, or quality indicators that impact the
environments these users experience. The City’s Pedestrian Plan, February 15, 2011,
describes the parameters to evaluate the pedestrian environment. The proposed project
is within the “Transit Corridor”. Within Pedestrian Districts, the City has established a
LOS B for each of the elements listed below except for Visual Interest and Amenity at a
LOS C. The elements identified as important to supporting a beneficial pedestrian
environment are:
1. Directness
2. Continuity
3. Street Crossings
4. Visual Interest and Amenity
5. Security
Each of these is described in depth in the Pedestrian Plan. The Plan requires that
destinations within 1,320 feet of the Project are identified and analyzed for each
pedestrian element. This area is depicted in Appendix D. The results of this analysis
are summarized in Table 8 along with the associated LOS for each element. The
crossing at Redwood Street and Lupine Drive may require a striped pedestrian crossing
across Redwood.

BICYCLE NETWORK/ANALYSIS
The bicycle network within the 1,320 foot area of the project site was evaluated to determine if
there were public school sites, recreation sites, and/or community/neighborhood commercial
areas. There are no destinations withing the 1,320 foot area.
TRANSIT SERVICE
Two transit routes travel along Redwood Street adjacent to the project site. Routes 8
and 81 provides looped service with connections between the Downtown Transit Center,

PV Mobile Home Park (Hwy 287 at Terry Lake Road), Linden and Vine, and ending back
at the Downtown Transit Center. They provide stops along North College Avenue, at the
King Soopers and at several social services facilities. The Downtown Transit Center
provides connections that serve both Fort Collins and the region.

8 CONCLUSIONS
This study was undertaken to analyze the potential long-range traffic impacts of the
proposed Enclave at Redwood project in the City of Fort Collins. The following
summarizes the results of this analysis:
• The proposed project will provide 230 dwellings. The site is approximately 28
acres. The roadway system includes two connections to both Redwood Street
and Suniga Road.
• The site is located north of Old Town. This land is currently undeveloped.
• The Project is expected to generate approximately 1,700 daily trips, 106 trips
during the AM peak hour and 124 trips during the PM peak hour.
• Currently, the study intersections are operating at acceptable levels.
• The Project will require a southbound right-turn lane at Redwood Street and
Suniga Road.
• Redwood Street at Suniga Road will need signalization to operate acceptably
under both Background and Total 2040 conditions.
• Under both future 2022 and 2040 background and total conditions, the
intersections are projected to operate acceptably with the improvements noted
above.

To: Spencer Smith, City of Fort Collins
Sam Coutts – Ripley Design
From: Ruth Rollins, PE
Date: June 13, 2022
Subject: Enclave at Redwood – Inclusion of Northfield Traffic
Redwood/Lupine
Spencer, this memo documents the future 2040 traffic conditions on Lupine Drive
at Redwood Street. The traffic projections for the Northfield project were based
on information contained in the Northfield Transportation Impact Study, August
2018, prepared by Delich Associates.
The residents of Northfield will have roadway connections to the proposed
Enclave at Redwood. The daily and peak hour traffic from Northfield was added
to the traffic projections previously documented in emails and the Traffic Impact
Study Enclave at Redwood, August 17, 2021, by Rollins Consult.
Figure 1 depicts the Northfield traffic and the Total 2040 traffic (with the Enclave
at Redwood). As shown on the figure the Northfield traffic could result in an
additional 185 daily trips on Lupine Drive. The total daily projected traffic on
Lupine is estimated to be 915 trips. The desirable threshold on a Local Street is
1,000 vehicles per day.
The intersection of Redwood Street at Lupine Drive was analyzed based on the
future Total 2040 peak hour volumes depicted on Figure 1. The analysis
worksheets are attached. As indicated in the analysis results, the peak hour
operations for the intersection are expected to be a level of service (LOS) A or B
which is within the City’s threshold of LOS D.
Let me know if you require any additional information.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 15, 2022
To: Chair Katz and Members of the Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Spencer Smith, Traffic Operations Engineer
Re: Read Before Memo: Item #2, Enclave at Redwood Project Development Plan
__________________________________________________________________
Since the Planning & Zoning Commission Hearing on Thursday, April 21st regarding the Enclave
at Redwood Project Development Plan (PDP#210004), residents of the Meadows at Redwood
neighborhood raised concerns that the Enclave at Redwood Traffic Impact Study (TIS) did not
include potential future traffic volumes on Lupine Drive from the approved Northfield subdivision.
The Northfield project is currently under construction and located directly east of the Enclave at
Redwood. The Enclave at Redwood and Northfield projects will have public roadway
connections at Steeley Drive and Collamer Drive. Traffic Operations staff requested that the
Enclave at Redwood traffic engineer provide an addendum to the TIS that would provide an
analysis of potential traffic contributions to Lupine Drive from Northfield. Staff received a traffic
memorandum on June 13th, 2022, from the applicant, which is included in the agenda packet
materials for the record.
At the time that the Northfield TIS was approved, the previous plan for the Enclave at Redwood
site (in the development review process under a different applicant as “The Retreat”) did not
include a roadway connection to Lupine Drive. Therefore, all Northfield traffic that would travel
north on Redwood Street was routed to Suniga Road rather than via Lupine Drive. The TIS for
the Enclave at Redwood project did include the Northfield TIS in its analysis but was not
updated to reflect the change in connectivity with the proposed connection to Lupine Drive.
In review of the traffic memorandum, a summary of the findings is highlighted below. Staff has
not amended the staff report or staff presentation included in the April hearing, as the overall
staff findings and recommendation on the project have not changed.
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 4
Packet pg. 209
Traffic Volume Contribution from the Northfield Project:
The approved Northfield TIS distributed 5% of the overall project traffic to Redwood Street. The
traffic memorandum provided by the Enclave at Redwood traffic engineer routed the entire 5%
(185 trips) through the Meadows at Redwood subdivision, via Lupine Drive, to the intersection of
Redwood Street and Lupine Drive. The additional trips were then added to the intersection and
the Level of Service (LOS) reanalyzed. The revised total traffic on Lupine (including existing,
Enclave at Redwood and Northfield) is 915 trips. Analysis of the Redwood Street and Lupine
Drive intersection shows that the intersection will still function at an acceptable LOS per the
City’s standards. Staff considers this an acceptable conservative approach, since it would not
be likely that all Northfield traffic travelling north on Redwood Street would use Lupine Drive.

Consent Agenda:
1.Draft Minutes from April 21, 2022, P&Z Hearing
Public Input on Consent Agenda:
None noted.
Chair Katz did a ffnal review of the items on the consent agenda and reiterated that those items will not have a
separate presentation unless pulled from the consent agenda.
Member Stackhouse made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the consent
agenda for the June 16, 2022, Planning and Zoning Commission hearing as originally advertised. Member
Sass seconded the motion. Vote: 6:0.
Discussion Agenda:
2.Enclave at Redwood (continuance}
Project Description: This is a request for a Project Deve opment Plan to develop a 27.85-acre site formerly
referred to as "The Retreat," generally located to the north of Suniga Drive and to the east of Redwood Drive. The
proposal will include a replat of the site into one parcel and include 242 dwelling units with a mix of four, six, and
eight-plex multi-family units, within a "For Rent" managed community property. A 1-acre park and clubhouse are in
the center of the site, and regional trail connection will be located along the Lake Canal. The PDP includes a
request for Modification of Sta ndards for the building orientation and connecting walkway requirement. This
property is within the Low-Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN) zone district.
Member Stackhouse discfosed she is a regular vo lunteer with Neighbor to Neighbor and, during a regular
conversation with Neighbor to Neighbor staff, she was informed the Neighbor to Neighbor organization was
contacted by a citizen representative who asked whether Neighbor to Neighbor would consider allowing the
developer to create a new road that would cross the Neighbor-to-Neighbor property as an alternative to the planned
connection to Lupine Drive. She stated the staff further indicated to her that the organization would be w'lling to do
so. but only if the development consisted of affordable housing. She stated that because this proposal does not
involve an affordable housing component, she therefore believes this information would not have any Impact on her
decision.
Recommendation: Approval
Secretary Manno reported letters were received from Amber Franzel and the Meadows at Redwood HOA
expressing concern about the project.
Staff and Applicant Presentations
Planner Wray gave a br'ef overview of the project and noted the Commission's packet included a read-before
memo from Pfannfng out 'ning the proposed revisions to the building elevations, the applicants' revised building
elevations and supportfng documents, a read-before memo from Traffic staff, a memo from the app icants' traffic
analysis related to the Lupine Drive connection discussion, the letters mentioned by Secretary Manno, and the new
app licant presentation and video. He noted staff had not revised its presentation or staff report from the April
hearing; however, staff will respond following the applicant presentation.
Sam Coutts, Ripley Design, reviewed the applicant presentation from the April Commission hearing noting much of
the discussion during deliberation was related to the connectivity standards, specifically on Lupine Drive, and on
the model variety and quality of the architecture. He noted the two modificattons of standard were both approved at
the April hearing.
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 5
Packet pg. 212
Planning & Zoning Commission
June 16, 2022
Page 3 of 8
Mr. Coutts discussed the proposed Lupine Drive connection and discussed a meeting held with the HOA regarding
its concern with the connection. He stated the applicants' proposal still stands as is; however, he also presented
some alternative designs for the Commissioners to consider. He first discussed the possibility of including a traffic
calming situation at the Lupine connection, and second, discussed the possibility of a complete closure of the
Lupine connection to the proposed development to public vehicle access. He noted this connection would still
allow for bikes, pedestrians, and emergency access.
Mr. Coutts outlined the proposal for the northern boundary of the property and its interaction with the natural habitat
buffer zone. He went on to comment on the nine new building designs and color variations.
Doug Heaton, KTGY Architecture, further detailed the architectural revisions made since the April hearing and
discussed how the new designs meet the design standards for multi-family dwellings in the Land Use Code. He
noted particular attention was paid to ensure the revised elevations are distinctly different from one another and he
detailed those distinctions. He showed a video depiction of the proposed project.
Staff Analysis
Planner Wray stated the new elevations had not changed staff's findings for compliance with the Land Use Code,
or its recommendation. Regarding the letters received, he noted there were comments regarding the compatibility
of this project with the Northside Neighborhoods Plan, which is an element of City Plan. He commented on
applicable aspects of the Plan and noted it identified this area to be zoned LMN, though there is no requirement
related to housing types other than for there to be a variety thereof. He commented on the buffers being provided
between the existing neighborhoods and the proposed project.
Planner Wray further discussed other comments in the letters, noting the regional trail connection provided is open
to the entire community, that the Lake Canal was recognized as having natural habitat buffer, and that the new
fencing will be maintained by this development and its HOA. Regarding the Lupine Drive connection, Planner Wray
noted he provided a detailed overview of the staff findings for compliance with the City's street connectivity
requirements in the Land Use Code. He noted staff supported alternative compliance for not connecting Mullein
Drive.
Spencer Smith, Traffic Operations, discussed the additional information provided in the read-before memo related
to traffic level of service standards and noted the analysis showed the intersection still meets those standards.
Tim Dinger, Engineering Development Review, noted the City does not maintain or reconstruct private streets but
does provide those services for public streets.
Commission Questions
Member Hogestad asked about the design of the 6-and 8-plex buildings being essentially the same. Mr. Heaton
replied there are 3-bedroom units at either end of the 8-plex units.
Member Hogestad stated the elevations are much improved; however, the changes have little to do with the
requirements of the Land Use Code in terms of the footprint size and shape varying significantly. Mr. Heaton
described the different undulations and sizes of the buildings.
Member Hogestad reiterated his questioning of the buildings varying significantly given the bump-outs on the
buildings appear to be the same.
Member Stackhouse suggested staff provide an understanding of that provision of the Land Use Code.
Mr. Heaton stated there are several more undulations on the 8-plex buildings, the building lengths are different,
porch configurations and sizes are different, and unit widths vary.
Member Hogestad asked about the location of the natural habitat buffer on the northern edge of the property. Mr.
Coutts replied the Code requirement is a 50-foot buffer from a natural feature, which is the irrigation ditch on this
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 5
Packet pg. 213
Planning & Zoning Commission
June 16, 2022
Page 4 of 8
site, and the Code al ows for achieving that buffer in several different ways with both quality and quantity aspects.
He stated the buffer strip on the north side is part of the buffer needed to meet the requirements.
Member Hogestad asked about the width of the strip and its planting consistency. Mr. Coutts replied the plantings
are native seed and trees per the specific plant list provided by the City and the width is 14 feet. He also noted the
drainage channel continues north off-site that provides an additional buffer, though it is not considered a significant
natural feature.
Ptanner Wray discussed the staff analysis of the new building designs and stated staff felt the shapes were varied
enough to be compliant.
Member Stackhouse noted the original proposal was compliant with Sections 3.6.3(F) and 3.6.4 given the Lupine
Drive connection and asked if an alternative compliance would need to be sought to close Lupine Drive, and asked
to what extent approval of this might set a meaningful precedent. Assistant City Attorney Yatabe replied the
application can be changed at this point from a procedural perspective.
Planner Wray stated staff has only just received this information from the applicant and therefore has not had a
chance to fully analyze it; however, he noted an approval of alternative compliance would require the finding that
the proposed plan is equa, to or better than a complying plan. He noted the Code does not contain criteria for
blocking off a street based on neighborhood concerns but does contain a provision that requires connections of
pub lic streets to existing stub-outs. Planner Wray stated approval of the new proposal could potentially set a
precedent as City Plan does contain a policy regarding interconnected neighborhoods.
Rebecca Everette, Planning Manager, noted alternative compliance requests, similar to modification of standards
requests. are case and fact specific to individual situations. She stated the Commissioners make findings based on
those specific facts and any decision made would not bind a future Commission to making the same decision on a
different project.
Smith stated that neighborhood connectivity standards probably factor in more in this situation than level of service
standards, which can be met without the connection. He stated taking away access points and multiple
neighborhood roadway options can exacerbate traffic congestion on arterials; however, that cannot specifically be
quantified in this instance.
Assistant City Attorney Yatabe stated alternative compliance is a fairly rigorous standard and typically includes a
fafrly comprehensive package of information and an application at an earlier stage allowing staff to fully vet the
application.
Member Schneider asked if staff supports one or the other of the new alternative options for the connection.
Planner Wray replied that only the second option to close the roadway to vehicular access would require alternative
compliance; the option to provide traffic calm ing methods would not. He stated that staff would support any traffic
calming measures and that there can be support for closing the public street connection, which would not
necessarily set a precedent for future dedsions. Everette noted there has not been time for Engineering and Traffic
Operations staff in particular to complete a full analysis and provide a complete recommendation. She stated the
Commission could approve either option, there just may need to be some work done on the back end by staff if
either option is pursued.
Member Haefele stated it seems likely that further development going east will have additional connections and
Lupine Drive will not become an arterial. She asked if Traffic Operations could provide information on how future
traffic in the area will be distributed. Smith replied staff conservatively estimated 5% of Northfield traffic would be
routed to Lupine through the project He noted other neighborhoods moving east have additional connection
options which are more direct.
Ruth Rollins, traffic engineer for the applicant, stated she did a thorough analysis of the connection at Lupine which
showed that the roadway system works both with and without providing that vehicular connection.
Chair Katz asked if the traffic distribution changed between the two options. Ms. Rollins replied she did not assign
any of the project or Northfield traffic to Lupine and she followed the Northfield traffic study assumptions regarding
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 5
Packet pg. 214
Planning & Zoning Commission
June 16, 2022
Page 5 of 8
its traffic disbursement. She stated there would not be traffic from other neighborhoods cutting through the entire
development to get to Lupine given the way Lupine is designed.
Member Schneider noted the Master Street Plan does not show Lupine Drive extending even to Lemay Avenue.
Member Stackhouse asked the applicant if it would be willing to delay the proposal in order to make a request for
alternative compliance for the closure of the Lupine Drive connection t,o allow for staff analysis to occur. Mr. Coutts
replied the applicant would prefer to have a decision at this meeting given there has already been one continuance.
He stated the information that would be part of an alternative compliance application has already been submitted as
part of the updated traffic memo, though he admitted that staff had not had the opportunity to analyze it from an
alternative compliance perspective. He stated the applicant would prefer to have a conditional approval of
attaching an alternative compliance request at final development stage and, if approved by staff at that time, it
could move forward. If not approved by staff at that time, the project could move forward as initially proposed.
Public Input (3 minutes per person)
Jennifer Jones stated the Meadows at Redwood HOA has been meeting with the applicant since the April meeting
and stated she is supportive of the project overall. She requested the Commission consider allowing the closure of
Lupine Drive to vehicular access. She stated the connection would still allow for pedestrian and bicycle access
which would ultimately be better for both neighborhoods.
Amber Franzel thanked the applicants for their work to be good neighbors and make the design work for the full
community. She expressed support for the closure of the Lupine Drive connection to vehicular traffic noting level of
service standards would still be met.
Aaron Oberndorf concurred with Ms. Jones and Ms. Franzel and suggested setting a precedent for a developer
working with a neighborhood is positive. Additionally, he supported closing the Lupine Drive connection to
vehicular traffic stating bike and pedestrian only access has been shown to be positive in other instances.
Applicant Response
Mr. Coutts suggested the Commission may want to consider a condition of approval that the applicant provide a
formal alternative compliance request to provide bike, pedestrian, and emergency access only to Lupine Drive for
administrative review and approval prior to final development plan approval.
Staff Response
Planner Wray stated staff understands the concerns of the Meadows at Redwood neighborhood and concurred the
alternative compliance could be considered and analyzed during final development review.
Commission Questions/ Deliberation
Member Stackhouse asked if the alternative compliance request would come back before the Commission.
Assistant City Attorney Yatabe replied the typical Code process for alternative compliance states that plans shall be
prepared and submitted in accordance with submittal requirements and shall identify how the alternative plan will
better accomplish the purpose of the Code section than a complying plan. He stated having a condition to allow
further contemplation by staff makes sense and noted the decision maker for alternative compliance is clearly
defined; however, the question is whether than can be delegated to the staff level by the decision maker. He stated
his opinion at this time is that would be allowable as an administrative decision to be delegated to the CONS
Director. He suggested the Commission would make a finding that the plan as proposed with Lupine Drive
connecting is in compliance with the condition that, if alternative compliance were to be approved at final plan, that
alternative would come into play. He stated the Commission could also request the issue come back before it for a
decision.
Everette expressed concern a condition on the approval of a project that essentially does not grant approval of the
project makes it difficult to move forward with the final development plan process. She commented on the possible
use of a major amendment rather than alternative compliance after the approval of the project.
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 5
Packet pg. 215
Planning & Zoning Commission
June 16. 2022
Page 6 of 8
Member Haefele asked if the alternative compliance could come back before the Commission as a consent item
and whether that would needlessly delay the project moving forward. Everette replied the Commission would be
the decision maker on a major amendment. She stated the applicant would need to weigh in on whether it would
cause a delay.
Commissioner Schneider expressed concern that the applicant could opt to not move forward with the alternative
compliance if the Commission approves the project as originally planned.
Mr. Coutts stated the applicant's intent would be to apply for alternative compliance prior to final development plan
and would request a concurrent review. He supported the idea of placing the alternative compliance on the
Commission's consent agenda which would allow the developer to move forward with final design.
Member Stackhouse supported the architectural changes and expressed a strong preference that an approval of
the proposal be conditioned on submission of a proposal for alternative compliance that comes back before the
Commission on the consent agenda. She stated she is weary of skipping steps in the process.
Member Sass questioned how the lack of a vehicular connection can be justified as being equal to or better than a
complying plan.
Member Haefele noted there is not an official proposal for alternative compliance and members can always pull
consent items. She stated the onus would be on staff to analyze a proposal and determine whether it is equal to or
better than a complying plan, or whether another process would be more appropriate.
Member Stackhouse concurred with Member Sass that an item should not be on consent if a standard is not met.
Chair Katz noted the standard is met with the current application which includes the connecting street.
Member Schneider asked about the original modifications of standard that were approved by the Commission in
April. Planner Wray replied the Commission approved a modification for the distance between the entrances of two
of the buildings and a connecting walkway to be greater than 350 feet and a modification to allow three housing
types versus four. He stated the third component that is part of this overall PDP decision is alternative compliance
to close access to Mullein Drive, which staff found to meet the criteria for equal to or better than a complying plan to
alleviate safety concerns of the close proximity to the Redwood intersection.
Chair Katz reiterated the plan as proposed meets Land Use Code standards and stated it should be up to the
applicant whether they want to submit a new alternative compliance or major amendment. He noted public opinion
is taken into consideration; however, it cannot trump a plan that is compliant with the standards.
Member Hogestad stated he believes the Commission can place any condition of approval. Assistant City Attorney
Yatabe replied there are limits to that set in the Land Use Code and, to the extent the applicant is willing to comply
with a condition and states so on the record, it can also be imposed as something the applicant is voluntarily willing
to do.
Chair Katz requested input from the applicant team. Mr. Coutts replied the applicant would prefer to continue with
the condition he suggested related to administrative review and approval prior to final development plan approval,
and if that is not an option, would prefer the voluntary optional major amendment route.
Assistant City Attorney Yatabe commented on this issue being a substantive one on which the decision maker, the
Commission, should make a decision, and that would be the most defensible way to proceed.
Member Haefele suggested the Commission can move forward with the proposal with the connection expecting
that the applicant will seek a major amendment for its closure. She stated that is the cleanest way to move forward
despite not being the most predictable outcome for the existing neighborhood.
Everette clarified Traffic Operations staff has confirmed they have had a chance to review Ms. Rollins' analysis and
information and there are no significant concerns about closing the connection from a traffic perspective; rather, the
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 5
Packet pg. 216
Planning & Zoning Commission
June 16, 2022
Page 7 of 8
primary concern is with compliance with plan direction and the intent of connecting neighborhoods standards from
more of a planning perspective. She noted there may not be a great deal of new staff analysis with a major
amendment depending on what is proposed.
Chair Katz asked if Poudre Fire Authority would review a plan for closure of the connection. Everette replied in the
affirmative and noted the applicant's proposal includes an emergency access connection, which is typically
sufficient for Poudre Fire Authority.
Member Stackhouse stated neighborhood connectivity is the main issue and she has not yet had enough time to be
able to make a decision. She agrees the plan as proposed meets the Land Use Code requirements with respect to
the through street and the Commission should act on that without predetermining the outcome of looking at an
alternative.
Member Sass concurred and noted the standard is clear that local streets must provide both inter-and intra
neighborhood connections to net developments together with both vehicular and pedestrian connections. He
stated giving the applicants the ability to request an alternative seems reasonable but requiring that seems unfair
given they have presented a plan that complies.
Chair Katz requested the Commissioners discuss the architecture changes.
Member Sass supported the changes made to the elevations.
Chair Katz also supported the changes and stated the continuance has made for a better product.
Member Hogestad agreed the architecture is improved; however, he stated it relied simply on the application of
detail on the buildings and is not really what is required by the Land Use Code.
Chair Katz noted this is one of the most subjective pieces of the Land Use Code and asked Member Hogestad
what he believes does not comply. Member Hogestad replied the Code is attempting to push design to a different
result rather than decorating boxes, which is what this design shows. He stated there is little articulation provided
in the buildings.
Chair Katz asked what would need to occur for Member Hogestad to approve. Member Hogestad replied the
footprints of the buildings should be significantly different, per the Code.
Member Sass asked how many square feet of difference would be considered significant. Chair Katz noted it is not
a defined term and staff currently views the differentiation as significant.
Member Haefele stated part of the problem is that square footage is considered a metric of difference; however,
that is not defined.
Member Hogestad noted the Code references size and shape and stated there is insufficient articulation in the
buildings.
Chair Katz stated the new Land Use Code updates will be able to better explain these details.
Member Hogestad commented on the development having no real identity and stated the Land Use Code was
more thoughtful when identifying the need for articulation.
Member Schneider commented on the changes in rooflines and coloring that help with compliance.
Member Hogestad stated he believes the project simply does not meet the Land Use Code.
Member Stackhouse clarified that she would be willing to move forward with a motion for approval without a second
condition to require the applicant to submit for alternative compliance. The applicant could then submit a proposal
for alternative compliance at a later date, with the proposal analyzed under normal processes.

Page 8 of 8
Member Stackhouse made a motion that the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Commission approve the
Enclave at Redwood Project Development Plan, PDP210004, with the following condition: prior to final plan approval, the City's regional stormwater detention pond that the developer will be constructing must meet the naturalized criteria benefiting a natural habitat buffer zone pursuant to the City's Stormwater Criteria
Manual and Land Use Code Section 3.4.1. The Commission finds in consideration of the condition and
approved modification of standards that the project development plan complies with all applicable Land
Use Code requirements. This decision is based upon the agenda materials, the information and materials
presented during the work session and this hearing, and the Commission discussion on this item. Further,
this Commission herby adopts the information, analysis, findings of fact, and conclusions regarding this
project development plan contained in the staff report included in the agenda materials for this hearing.
Member Sass seconded.
Member Haefele agreed with Member Hogestad that the building footprints are not substantially different; however,
in reading the Land Use Code, size is one of the ways in which they are allowed to differ. She stated the buildings
wi11 look substantially different from the perspective of pedestrians or passersby. She encouraged the applicants to
follow through with a major amendment application for the connection closure but stated she would support the motion.
Member Schneider thanked the applicant team for working with the existing neighborhood and also encouraged the applicant to submit for alternative compliance or a major amendment.
Chair Katz concurred and thanked the members of the public for their comments.
Vote: 5:1 with Member Hogestad dissenting.

Good afternoon.
I was reaching out regarding the Enclave at Redwood Project PDP210004. I live at 643 Spurge Circle in the Meadows at
Redwood. The proposed project currently as is utilizing Mullein and Lupine would have very harmful effect on our
neighborhood, especially with regard to traffic. I am respectfully asking that this go under review, and the alternate plan

Subject:[EXTERNAL] The Enclave at Redwood
Date:Wednesday, April 20, 2022 9:59:59 AM
Hello,
I live in the Meadows neighborhood off of Redwood. Many of us still have concerns
about the increased traffic, the traffic pattern (stop signs only on Redwood), and
associated noise due to the extension of Suniga to the overpass. And now, we are
potentially facing at least one cul-de-sac (Lupine) in our small neighborhood being
opened up to traffic to at least one proposed new development and possibly two. The
roads in the Meadows are not designed to handle a significant increase in traffic flow.
Residents appropriately park their vehicles on the road, which works with the
current limited traffic flow into/out of the Meadows. The roads are too narrow to
handle more traffic from a larger development. Other viable options for traffic flow
(such as onto Conifer have previously been considered), and, now with the extension
of Suniga, there are more options for entrance and egress that do not negatively
impact the Meadows. Residents have previously expressed their opinion of not
wanting this connection to Redwood via Lupine, and those concerns were heard by
the city. The view of many of the residents in the Meadows on Lupine being opened
up has not changed.
Additionally, from publicly available plans on the city's website, it looks like there is
some form of roadway (unclear from plans whether it will open to Redwood as an
entrance/egress) that will be quite close to houses on the south side of the Meadows
near Mullein. If this will be an active roadway, it is even closer to the existing houses
and will create more traffic/noise/pollution, thus further decreasing quality of life.
What kind of buffer, if any, is the developer planning to have between the existing
houses and the new development?
The primary concern, as outlined above, is increased traffic flow in a small
neighborhood. I looked all over Fort Collins for a house to purchase, and I settled on
the one I purchased in the Meadows because of it being a quiet, enclosed
neighborhood with some nearby open space. Increased traffic in this neighborhood
will decrease quality of life while increasing risk to residents from more vehicular
traffic. I encourage the city to find alternate roadways for the new development that
leaves the Meadows intact.
Sincerely,
Haley Ford

Re: The Enclave housing development and street connectivity concern
Dear Planning and Zoning Board members,
My name is Amber Franzel, and I am a homeowner in the Meadows at Redwood neighborhood West of
the proposed Enclave development. I am writing to express continued concern over the proposal to
connect Lupine Drive to the new development, The Enclave, being constructed soon.
We want to thank you for the city’s commitment to hearing our concerns, during the last P&Z meeting
held on April 21, 2022. I understand that the approval was pushed back to this week over architectural
concerns, and that public comment will be accepted for the June 16th meeting. As such, I want to put
our concerns on record and update you on our work with DHI Developers and Ripley Designs, which has
occurred since the first meeting.
During that collaborative meeting with members of the Meadows at Redwoods neighborhood, DHI and
Ripley, we discussed their support of the alternative ways to meet the connectivity requirements in city
code, and they have been more than willing to come up with creative solutions. The plan has changed
from the previous developer, so we are aware that the connection to Conifer is no longer an option due
to wetland considerations and a change to the size of the retention pond to the North. However, the
suggestion for meeting connectivity requirements by using pedestrian, bike and emergency vehicle
access is still supported by the neighborhood, the developer, and the designer. They are also willing to
make changes to their overall plan to be “good neighbors”: providing landscape buffers, creating trails
systems and commercial businesses that can be used by our neighborhood, sharing the natural area to
the south of the property, and planning to build privacy fences. We value their work and the time they
have spent making this new property work for everyone in the area.
Increased traffic and citizen safety on Lupine Drive, if vehicular traffic were connected is still worrisome
despite being made aware that Mullein would not be a through street. It seems, based on information
shared from the City, that a traffic study has not been completed with information about trips from both
The Enclave and Northfield, which is concerning. Our neighborhood streets are undersized and even at
the current amount of traffic, passage through the area can be tricky. Currently, our neighborhood is
closely connected, and in the spirit of the Northside Neighborhood Plan, we maintain our own unique
culture and connection with each other. Our kids ride around the cul-de-sacs without fear, we host
potlucks together, we shovel snow for our neighbors, and parents walk to the bus stop together each
morning and afternoon. We enjoy a sense of community that is not felt in many other local
neighborhoods, and we hope to keep it that way if possible. We thank you for your decision to close
Mullein to through traffic, but we feel that extending Lupine would directly threaten our culture and
sense of safety.
That being said, we understand the issue of code compliance in terms of needing to connect
neighborhoods. Since the neighborhood's creation in the early 80s, we knew there would eventually be
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet pg. 221
a connection, but the plans at that time were for our small, single-family neighborhood to be connected
to other single-family neighborhoods. Surrounding us with giant apartment complexes and increasing
the traffic through them, as well as a connection to the even larger Northfield neighborhood seems out
of step with what Fort Collins is looking to accomplish with neighborhood connection. It won’t serve as a
way for us to be more accessible to neighboring developments, it will be a thruway for traffic only. With
the push from city leaders to provide more accessible walking trails, alternative transportation
modalities and sustainable communities, this seems deliberately counter to that, encouraging new
neighbors to use vehicles to get to Redwood.
Let me be clear, we as a community are not seeking to stop the development; we know the need for
new housing to relieve the pressure felt in the city. We’ve even commended the developer on the new
idea (at least for Fort Collins) of a build-to-rent property. This is not us not “dealing with change,” as was
suggested in the last P&Z meeting. We are simply asking that Lupine Drive be connected for
pedestrian, bike, and emergency access only, especially with the added connection to Suniga Road,
which was not an available option when we brought this to your attention in 2018. This would still
promote connectivity, thanks to a trail system set up along the perimeter of The Enclave but would
discourage Lupine being the main point of connection with Redwood and those wishing to travel north.
Given the size of our streets, the increased traffic this connection would bring, and the desire to
maintain our neighborhood connection and community feel, we hope this is something you will
advocate for during this part of the development process.
Thanks for your consideration and your representation of the citizens of Fort Collins.
Sincerely,

My name is Amber Franzel and I am a homeowner in the Meadows at Redwood subdivision.
This is the second time I have addressed this board about the development in question;
previously The Retreat and now The Enclave. In my last statement, I shared that our
neighborhood was deeply concerned about how this project, and its proposed vehicular
connection would adversely affect us. We are a close-knit group of people, and in the spirit of
the Northside Neighborhood Plan, we maintain our own unique culture and feel. We enjoy a
sense of community that is not felt in many other local neighborhoods and we hope to keep it
that way.
In 2018, we formed a neighborhood group and spent a number of hours meeting as an HOA,
attending City sponsored meetings, and working with Landmark Properties and Ripley Designs
to discuss our concerns and what could be don e to reduce the impact. The outcome of that
work was dubbed “the Alternative Compliance Plan” which eliminated vehicular traffic on
Lupine Drive and Mullein Street, while still affording connection through bike and pedestrian
access, as well as emergency vehicles. Neighbor to Neighbor was also involved, being willing to
sell part of their land to make the connection directly to Conifer a reality. At that time, the P&Z
board voted to approve this, saying that our interactions were a shining example of the wa y
community members, developers and the city should be communicating, all to achieve a
mutually beneficial outcome.
Well, today, the plan has once again changed and with a new developer on board, our concerns
have come full circle, with Lupine Street bein g on the table again for connection, not just to The
Enclave but all the way through to the larger Northfield development to the East. Our concerns
are the same as before, in terms of a code perspective. Our roads are narrower than the city
standard for the amount of traffic this would create, being only 36 feet wide. From my
understanding, a collector road needs to be 54 feet wide. Since that meeting in 2018, we have
heard little from the developer, the designer or the city about changes to the plan until a week
ago when I noticed The Enclave up for a vote at this meeting and an article in the Colorado
showed up saying there had been 6 iterations of the plan before today. Our neighborhood,
which has been very open to talking about options that will affect us directly, and we hope that
the contact being attempted with the new design team will be possible.
We as a neighborhood fully supported the plan as Landmark Properties and Ripley Designs had
submitted it, and very much support this development as a new model for helping address the
growing housing crisis. However, I want to be clear that we are not in favor of the option of
opening the streets to vehicular traffic in the future due to our inadequately sized streets, the
massive increase in traffic that would come with that and the impact this would have on our
connection as a neighborhood.
I hope that tonight, you too will support an alternative, and ask that the Developer and
Designer submit a new traffic study and as a result, a new plan for street co nnection that does
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet pg. 223
not include our streets as a thoroughfare for larger neighborhoods. We appreciate you
considering this, and helping to maintain the spirit of our vibrant neighborhood.
Thank you.

To: <devreviewcomments@fcgov.com>
Cc: Meadows Redwood <meadowsatredwood@gmail.com>
Please accept the following submission of citizen comments that I intend to read at the public
hearing on April 21, 2022 regarding The Enclave Development (PDP#210004) and Vehicular Traffic
Connection at Lupine Drive through the Meadows at Redwood Neighborhood.
As a resident homeowner in the Meadows at Redwood neighborhood I would like to briefly explain
my opposition to the vehicular connection of Lupine Drive to the new street named Collamer Drive
running East through the Enclave Development and into the Northfield Development. This
connection does not meet the intent of the connectivity language in the land use code and presents
a clear and dangerous detriment to the 36 homeowners living in the Meadows at Redwood
Subdivision.
Currently, our neighborhood is closely knit, and in the spirit of the Northside Neighborhood Plan, we
maintain our own unique culture and connection with each other. Our kids can ride around and play
openly in our 2 cul-de-sacs safely, we host pot lucks together, we shovel snow for our neighbors, and
parents walk to the bus stop together each afternoon. We enjoy a sense of community that is not
felt in many other local neighborhoods and we hope to keep it that way if at all possible. We feel
that extending Lupine Drive into these 2 adjacent massive developments will directly threaten this
culture and safety.
We understand the issue of code compliance in terms of needing to connect neighborhoods. We as
a community are not seeking to stop the development but would like to work with the city and
developer to reduce the impact to our little community. We are simply asking that Lupine Drive not
be connected to the proposed Collamer Drive for full vehicular traffic and instead be connected for
emergency access only. This would still promote connectivity for bikes and pedestrians, thanks to
trail systems in both new developments, but discourage Lupine being a cut through between 4
massive developments of rental units.
Full vehicular access at the Lupine connection would result in our little 36 home community being
put right in the middle of 2 massive developments with 1000’s of rental beds to the West and 2 new
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet pg. 225
massive developments with 1000’s more rental beds to the East. None of these 4 adjacent
complexes contains single family detached housing like our community does. In addition, Lupine
Drive would be the only means to travel North out of the 2 developments to the East resulting in
huge increase in cut through traffic on our very narrow street.
There have been other recent projects in the area that were successful in doing this kind of an
emergency access connection (Horsetooth Village being one of them). In 2018 another developer
was interested in this parcel and they worked with our HOA, as the development process intended,
to develop a plan to provide access to the north of the site onto Conifer Street leaving the
connection at Lupine for pedestrian, bike and emergency vehicle access only. We worked together
with Ripley and that Developer on the Alternative Compliance Request which was enthusiastically
approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on September 20, 2018.
This alternative compliance plan was developed with exceptional coordination between the
developer, designer, and the Meadows at Redwood HOA. I commended that development team for
their efforts to work with us to mitigate the threat posed to our neighborhood by this vehicular
connection and the planning and zoning board in turn commended our group in whole as a model
for how communities can work to draft mutually agreeable outcomes with developers as stated in
the attached public record minutes from that meeting.
A review of the current plans as submitted and included in the P&Z meeting agenda for 4/21/22 now
show a full vehicular connection of Lupine Drive to the new proposed Collamer Drive which does not
serve to benefit anyone, least of all the residents of our small community.
Further adding to the frustration is the process and timeline for this PDP. The Retreat was in 2018
and we were given time to work with all parties prior to the P&Z meeting however this time the
initial Neighborhood Meeting was held on 7/29/20, at which time the drawings available to our HOA
(attached with the minutes from that meeting) clearly showed this connection as “emergency access
easement only (no thru traffic)”. I must now wonder if this was deliberately intended to pacify our
HOA and minimize further investigation by us. Despite the fact that the drawings showed our desired
emergency vehicular connection only, we expressed our concern as noted in the attached official
minutes, which clearly state in the highlighted sections, that further follow up would be provided for
input from our HOA, but nothing further came of it until just last week when we got notice of this
P&Z meeting with an agenda that now includes drawings showing this full connection of Lupine to
Collamer.
21 months have gone by with no follow up from the city or the developer, during which time our
residents have tried to do our due diligence and periodically checked FCGov.com only to see that
nothing had been apparently happening as far as we were able to ascertain, leading all of us to
believe that this PDP must have been benched much like the previous PDP was 2 years prior.
In short we were blatantly misled by the Neighborhood meeting in July of 2020 which not only
clearly showed only an emergency vehicular connection but also provided false reassurance of
further follow up regarding this very subject.
The lack of promised information or solicitation for input of any kind from anyone from the time of
that neighborhood meeting to present has robbed us of valuable time we could have spent working
with all parties much like we did in 2018. The process has failed us in this instance.
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet pg. 226
I understand the intent of the connectivity initiative in the land use code and I’m also aware that
Lupine Drive meets the technical requirements to be considered for full vehicular traffic access to
the new developments but the reality is that with parking on both sides the street Lupine is not only
barely passable but also presents nearly a blind corner when turning East or West from Mullein
Drive.
The bottom line is that this is a potential vehicular connection between 2 drastically different
neighborhood types and residences. Given the limitations of the other access points to this
development and apparent lack of full movement capability at the other entrance to this site, a
connection at Lupine Drive would most definitely result in a "cut through" access for tenants living at
this development and the far larger Northfield Development directly to the East. The city master
plan has specific provisions (T4.3) to minimize and prevent Cut Through Traffic and also explicitly
states that streets should be designed to minimize "through traffic" in neighborhoods (T13.2), which
is exactly what we will have here if a full vehicular connection is allowed.
I fully support connection for Bicycles, pedestrians and emergency service vehicles between these
neighborhoods but must protest a full vehicular connection and want to reiterate my
disappointment with this process over the last 2 years. We worked hard to gain approval of a better
plan in 2018 and demand that we be allowed the same opportunity this time around.
We look forward to working together moving forward to develop an amicable solution in the best
interests of all parties much the same way as we did in 2018.
Thank you,

The residential density is within the range of 4 – 9 dwelling units per acre.
Four different housing types are included (mixture of single-family attached/detached and
two-family attached townhomes). The proposed casitas represent a smaller home design for
rent (without garage) on common lot.
The concept plan is not showing a street connection to Conifer Street or Lupine Street.
Questions/Comments and Answers
Comment: Residents of Redwood Meadows neighborhood prefer to not have Lupine Drive, or
Mullein Drive connect through to this project.
Applicant: The proposed concept does not show these street connections and prefers to keep
it that way.
City Staff: The City has connectivity requirements in its land use code, and generally supports
interconnectivity between neighborhoods. Lupine Drive and Mullein Drive were built with the
intent that they would connect into the eventual neighborhood to its east – that is why they
were built without a cul-de-sac.
When the previous proposal was being reviewed, there was significant concern about the
difference in land use (between single family dwellings and student apartment housing), and
how the potential additional traffic on Lupine would be very different than what was originally
intended. That is why that proposal ended up with a bike / ped / emergency access only along
Lupine.
With the new proposal, the City will review the land use type, access locations, impact to the
neighborhood etc. to determine what type of connection is most appropriate for both Lupine
and Mullein Drives. So the answer to your question is that we don’t yet know what the
connections will be with this proposal – Once an official submittal has been made, we’ll review
access options with the applicant, take input from the neighborhood, and determine what type
of access would best meet the Land Use Code.
Comment/Question: How will this project provide connections to future regional trail?
Applicant: The plan includes internal sidewalks and paths to connect to the planned trail that is
aligned with the existing Josh Ames ditch on east border of property. This project will include
the portion of the future regional trail on site, with stub-outs to the future trail off-site.
Question? What is the distance for west edge of this project to Redwood Meadows?
Applicant: The plan shows an approximate 60’-90’ landscape buffer between the neighborhood
and this project.
Question? What is the purpose of the alleys behind proposed townhomes and duplex
buildings?
Applicant: The private alleys provide vehicular access to the garages in rear of these buildings,
and as a result, allow for building entrances that face street to be more pedestrian oriented.
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet pg. 229
Neighborhood Meeting Notes – Enclave at Redwood Page 3
Question? Is this project including affordable housing?
Applicant: No, the project is providing for sale and rent units that are market rate, but more
reflective of attainable housing, with the different housing types. The casitas single-family units
will provide a lower price point since they are a smaller size without garages.
Question: Will there be an HOA?
Applicant: Yes, the HOA will maintain all common areas of the project.
Question: Will this project be gated?
City Staff: No, the City dies not allow gated communities.
Question? Is there plans for a roundabout at Redwood/Suniga, and Conifer?
Staff: No, since Suniga Road is a 4-land arterial, a roundabout would warrant duel lanes and
conditions at that intersection are challenging for that type of intersection. The intersection at
Conifer is more suitable for a roundabout with less traffic and potential smaller design. This
project will include a traffic study to assess off-site impacts and potential improvements for
these intersections. Redwood is a good option for a bike route again since there is less traffic.
Question? What is the timing for construction of this project?
Applicant: We anticipate 6-9 months for development review, and potential construction
beginning fall 2021.
Question: How will this project gain access?
Applicant: Primary access is provided from Suniga and Redwood at this point.
Question: How will this project impact traffic in the area and is a connection to Vine or Conifer
needed?
Staff: The traffic study will assess the impacts of the proposed project and include
recommendations for any infrastructure improvements surrounding site. Street connections to
Vine Drive are established at the intersections of Redwood and new realignment of Lemay with
grade-separated overpass of Railroad tracts. Staff will assess if a street connection is needed
to Conifer.
Staff: Next steps – the neighborhood meeting comments will be part of the public record with
the Hearing Officer who is the decision maker. From this meeting the applicant will continue to
work on their plan and submit for a project development plan. Staff will review the submittal to
ensure if it complies with the LUC and then if it is ready for hearing. If you got notice for this
meeting you will get notice for this hearing which could be late fall or next year depending on
how the project works out. We encourage you to attend the hearing and participate. If the
hearing officer approves the project, the applicant goes back and refines the plans and then
they start final plans and then record. After that point they can apply for building permits.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my concern for the Enclave at Redwood project PDP21004. My
concerns revolve around the possibility of Lupine Drive and Mullein Drive allowing access to
this proposed community. The proposal indicates that the project is for 242 multi family
dwelling units and appears that the only access will be off of Redwood, which I believe will
significantly increase traffic (likely by a factor greater than 10) on Lupine primary and also
Mullein. I believe this will be a detriment to the community and people surrounding Lupine
and Mullein and exceed the capacity of those roads. I respectfully request that the Planning
and Zoning Commission denial the proposal until the developer can provide more reasonable
access points for its proposed tenants.
Thank you,

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Suzanne O'Donnell. I live at 625 Spurge Circle, Fort Collins, CO.
I will not be able to attend the meeting Thursday night, but I did want to provide my
input. This is RE: the extension of Lupine Drive and possibly Mullein Drive in our
neighborhood. The Enclave development will literally be in my backyard. The
Enclave will have access to the newly built street Suniga. The previous developer,
Landmark was willing to buy land from N2N and have a road built off of Conifer. Four
years later that same land is deemed "Wetlands". Really? Convenient? You may be
looking at Lupine on a piece of paper and think that there is room for more vehicles.
When the homeowners have their cars and trucks parked on both sides of the street,
there is barely enough room for one vehicle to drive down the middle. Our streets are
very narrow. Think about how you like it in your neighborhood. The extension is just
not necessary.
We are a small neighborhood. More traffic is a safety issue also. We have young
children and pets that will be affected. Also, with more traffic and noise our quality of
life with be diminished. We deserve a safe place to live more than the Enclave think
that they need access to our neighborhood.

In reference to Enclave at Redwood Project PDP210004, I would like to oppose the
connections of Lupine and/or Mullein Drive as a point of automobile ingress/egress to the
development. I believe omitting these connections will still allow for adequate ingress/egress
to the development while maintaining the peace of the Meadows at Redwoods subdivision as
it currently is. Additionally, Lupine and Mullein Drive as they exist today are too narrow to
accommodate a full two-lane flow of traffic and would pose a danger to residents and their
property (particularly vehicles parked on the street) who live on Lupine or Mullein and to
children who play in the area.

TO: City of Fort Collins Planning and Development Department and Planning and Zoning
Commission
FROM: Meadows at Redwood HOA
RE: Meadows at Redwood HOA response to P&Z meeting for The Enclave on 4/21/2022:
The Meadows at Redwood HOA has several items of concern regarding the Enclave
development that was presented to the P&Z Board on 4/21/2022.
Firstly, the Meadows at Redwood wants to be clear that the concerns we have are with the City
Code and the public participation process. We understand and appreciate the effort that
developers, City Staff, and the P&Z Board members make to find balance between often
conflicting goals and interests.
After the P&Z meeting for the Enclave, The Meadows at Redwood HOA members convened
and generated a list of concerns that were left unasked and unanswered, as is the nature of the
P&Z Meeting format. We are presenting those concerns below on behalf of the members of The
Meadows at Redwood HOA for the City/Developer to address (if possible). It would also be
appreciated if this letter can be shared with the P&Z members for them to be aware of our
concerns.
CONCERN #1:
Unfortunately for the households in the Meadows at Redwood, the initial (and only) public
presentation (held on 7/29/2020) for the Enclave was missing many critical details that
were clarified during the P&Z hearing. For the HOA members, the P&Z meeting was the
only place for us to interpret the changes and voice our concerns regarding a multitude of
changed elements in the Enclave design. Our HOA members were forced into an
uncomfortable situation to essentially vent our concerns to the P&Z Board. This did not feel
fair to our neighborhood or to the P&Z Board members. Our HOA felt that a second public
participation meeting could have circumvented the “vent” session that our HOA was forced to do
at the P&Z Meeting.
Also, and more concerning, this process essentially allows a public participation meeting to
occur too early in the design. The Enclave development proposed at the P&Z meeting was
significantly different than the plans that were presented to the public participation meeting. It
feels disingenuous for the City and Developer to present an early concept plan to the public and
present a significantly different plan to the P&Z Board for approval.
CONCERN #2:
Very broadly, the Meadows at Redwood HOA is confused how the Northside Neighborhood
Plan is interpreted and implemented. Many of us, as homeowners, were active participants
during the Northside Neighborhood plan development in the late 90’s. The HOA would like to
meet with City Staff, to help us understand how developments like Northfield and the Enclave
meet the intent of the Northside Neighborhood Plan. It feels to us that the character of existing
neighborhoods does not match these proposed developments that are clearly moving forward
and considered in compliance with the Northside Neighborhood Plan.
The Northside Neighborhood plan is constantly cited by development proposals as encouraging
a mix of housing types, but the only "single family" style homes in the build out of the plan are
the existing old homes built in Andersonville, Redwood Meadows, and Alta Vista
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet pg. 234
neighborhoods. Why have these small neighborhoods become the poster child for mixed
housing types that the plan was supposed to encourage? Allowing all additional development to
be multi-family housing feel disingenuous to the Northside Neighborhood plan.
The City’s interpretation and enforcement of these neighborhood plans do have a major impact
on adjacent residents to new development. In our case, Lupine becomes a main access point
for large apartment complexes, when the interior roads were initially envisioned to simply
connect to future phases of The Meadows at Redwood single family home development.
CONCERN #3.1:
The Meadows at Redwood is very disappointed in the decisions and code requirements
requiring the Enclave to connect to the Meadows at Redwood via Lupine. To echo the boards
thoughts “change is hard” and we understand that. Our HOA has been very open and amiable to
development proposals in our area, despite being completely confused by the intent of the
Northside Neighborhood Plan. We understand that we have no negotiating power with how this
area develops and that our neighborhood is subject to the process of the City’s codes and
developers’ interests.
The Meadows at Redwood HOA heard three important points regarding Lupine connection that
were discussed at the P&Z meeting:
- The City fully understands that connecting Lupine to the Enclave will clearly increase
traffic on Lupine.
- Based on neighborhood testimony, the City understands that the Meadows at Redwood
HOA believes the additional traffic will be a significant reduction in the quality of life for
residents in the Meadows at Redwood HOA.
- The City believes that the reduced quality of life in the Meadows at Redwood HOA is
minor compared to the increased quality of life for all Fort Collins residents by enforcing
the interconnectivity requirement at this location.
Unfortunately, the decision to require interconnectivity on Lupine is more than a simple “change
is hard” type of issue. It isn’t a subtle thing when all of a sudden, your home is on a roadway that
is a direct connection to several hundred households. To make it worse, the whole decision feels
very arbitrary due to a code that the City is forced to enforce with no consideration to negative
impacts to existing residents’ quality of life. This new connection does nothing to improve the
Meadows at Redwood. It is also unclear if this connection actually helps any other community
members.
Again, our HOA has no negotiating power in this decision, but we do need to express our
frustration that the City would expect our HOA to just accept this significant change to the
character of our neighborhood without some due process that would include our neighborhood
input.
At the P&Z meeting, board members cited several examples where contentious connectivity was
ultimately a non-issue. Can the City provide those examples to us for review? Are there
examples of small (36-ish household) communities becoming connected to 400+ dwelling units
and having the small subdivision as one of the primary access points? Are there examples of
large rental communities connecting to single family home neighborhoods?
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet pg. 235
Also, typically with new developments, the multi-family units are built on the exterior perimeter of
the development, concentrating traffic and noise to the perimeter of the neighborhood. These
developments place the more desirable single-family units on the interior of the development.
Our neighborhood is forced into the reverse situation, which is not a best practice for new
developments and urban design concepts. The Northside Neighborhood Plan will feature single-family
homes being on the outer perimeter of the neighborhood with the interior neighborhood
featuring large multi-family buildings.
CONCERN #3.2:
Ultimately, The Meadows at Redwood HOA is not convinced that the Lupine connectivity is
good for either of the neighborhoods or the City as a whole. How is the quality of life improved
for The Enclave, Northfield, or Meadows at Redwood with this connection when a full movement
at “Road C” provides the same connectivity to Redwood? In the big picture, how does this one
connection point improve the quality of life for the general citizens of Fort Collins? The
connection only seems to be necessary because the code requires it and there are incomplete
existing roadways caused by the incomplete development of the Meadows at Redwood.
There are several points we want to refine for the City and P&Z’s further consideration regarding
the connectivity at Lupine:
First point: The original Meadows at Redwood development was a multiphase project developed
in the 80’s and built in the 90’s. What were the connectivity goals at the time of this
development? The open-ended roadways at Lupine and Mullein were originally intended to
connect future phases of the Meadows at Redwood single family homes. This is still evident on
the GIS maps that shows undeveloped Phase 2 of Meadows at Redwood. If Meadows at
Redwood Phase 1 was built as a singular development in the 80’s, it very well may have had
culdesacs at Lupine and Mullein.
Second Point: If Redwood Meadows was a multi-hundred household neighborhood with many
access points to main roads, the City’s connectivity requirements would be less significant, as
the P&Z Board pointed out and as is the case in other locations that had to deal with large
adjacent developments. But, in the Meadows at Redwood HOA case, connecting a small 36
household development to two huge apartment complex developments does not seem like the
same scenario. It feels overwhelming to our neighborhood.
Third Point: There are many developments built after Meadows at Redwood that were not
required to meet connectivity requirements on local streets. There are multiple neighborhoods
that use cul-de-sacs when it is clear that these could have been points of local road
neighborhood connectivity. Some examples: Willow Springs was not required to provide
connectivity to the south future developments. Rossbourough was not required to connect to
Casa Granda & Wagon Wheel. Greenstone was not required to connect to Stanton Creek.
Fourth Point: Prior conversations about connectivity with the prior development, “The Retreat”
went into great depth about why a connection to Lupine was necessary. Primarily that Lupine
would be the only location that would allow full movements to Redwood. I n t h a t c a s e ,
t h e developer was very cooperative and found a creative alternate solution for us. Our HOA
was very fortunate to work through this concern with the developer and the City Traffic Dept.
Ultimately (and ironically), the Meadows neighborhood was very agreeable to the proposed
student development.
Fifth point: The proposed traffic generation of the Enclave is not that different than the Retreat
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet pg. 236
(despite being student housing). The big difference between the Enclave and the Retreat is that
the Enclave development allows Road C to get a full movement at Redwood, whereas the
Retreat required right in - right out at Road C. This traffic flow change for the Enclave reduces
the traffic at Lupine, which is good for our HOA. However, the previous developer’s limited
movement at Road C was a major reason the City was requiring connectivity at Lupine. Now,
with full movement at Road C, the need for full movement access at Lupine/Redwood is no
longer a strong argument for traffic flow for the Enclave.
Sixth Point: The Meadows at Redwood HOA is still not convinced that a north connection to
Conifer is unviable. We have reached out to Neighbor to Neighbor and confirmed that the parcel
of land to make a connection to Redwood is still available for sale to this developer and we are
trying to setup a meeting with the developer to review this option in more detail.
Seventh Point: The Meadows at Redwood believes an attractive pedestrian and bicycle
connection that would also allow emergency vehicle access to The Enclave from Lupine would
be a very positive amenity for existing and proposed developments. It would also provide a
better opportunity for the interconnected community that the City desires to build. A ped/bike
access point would create less traffic within Meadows at Redwood and the Enclave, making
both developments more family friendly. It would also allow neighbors to interact outside of their
automobiles, where people tend to be gentler and more friendly. It would be more
environmentally friendly, requiring less resources to build and maintain. It would also promote
alternative, active modes of transportation that the City is focused on creating.
Ultimately, the Meadows at Redwood HOA want a clearer understanding why the City is forcing
Lupine connection for connectivity at the detriment of our small neighborhood when both The
Enclave developer and the Meadows HOA would be comfortable removing this connection?
The Meadows at Redwood appreciates the City’s goal to build stronger neighborhoods thru
roadway interconnectivity. However, we are worried that blindly implementing these
interconnectivity requirements can cause the reverse effect of creating animosity between
neighbors. We hope that there is room in the code interpretation to allow City Staff and P&Z
Board members space to use careful judgement in all interconnectivity considerations that occur
with new development. The space for this judgement has big implications to the fate of existing
small neighborhoods adjacent to large proposed developments.
The Meadows at Redwood wholly appreciates the Enclaves’ effort to request a variance for the
connectivity requirement at Mullein. Our HOA is still focused on pushing for a similar variance
for connectivity at Lupine.
OTHER CONCERNS:
Unfortunately, there are also a lot of other questions that the HOA members had as we digested
the Enclave development that was presented to the P&Z meeting. We will list them as points
that would have been nice to see and discuss in a public meeting format, prior to the P&Z
Meeting. If possible, the Meadows at Redwood would appreciate a response from the City to
address these open-ended questions.
- The public participation plan (7/29/2020) included single family homes. That home type
was removed from the revised Enclave plan presented at the P&Z meeting. How does
the removal of this home type improve the vision set forth in the Northside Neighborhood
Plan?
ITEM 4, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet pg. 237
- The alleyway access to the multifamily homes along the Meadows at Redwood HOA
does not seem to fit the character of the Northside Neighborhood plan. Where are alley
presented in the plan? What other neighborhoods in the plan area have alleys?
- The alleyway setback changed from 75’ from property line at the public participation
meeting (7/29/2020) to 25’ at the P&Z meeting material. This puts the alley significantly
closer to existing Meadows HOA households’ backyards and bedroom windows.
- What is the ADT on these private road alleys? Based on the info from the P&Z meeting,
it seems like there will be about 250 trips per day in this alleyway, which is about equal
to all of the current traffic that The Meadows at Redwood HOA currently generates.
- Does the City have any code or maintenance requirements for private roads (alleys)?
- Will garbage trucks use the alleys for trash collection?
- Will each unit have its own trash can, or will there be centralized dumpsters?, If
dumpsters, where are the dumpsters located?
- Does The Enclave’s Traffic Study at Lupine include cut-thru traffic from Northfield
Development? If not, can the City provide a combined ADT from both developments at
Lupine?
- What are the City requirements for fences between developments? Who owns and
maintains the existing wood fences between The Meadows at Redwood and The
Enclave? (currently, they are owned by adjacent Meadows at Redwood HOA
households – our HOA does not maintain fences). Can the fences be removed? Will The
Enclave install adjacent fences?
- How is the regional bikeway along the ditch considered “regional” when it is only a few
feet from several dwelling unit front door stoops? From the P&Z meeting materials, it
looks like that section of trail is almost a private trail that serves a handful of homes that
face it. Are there examples of similar regional bike trails that are so close to front
entryway doors?
- Will the irrigation ditch corridor actually act like a wildlife corridor since the front doors of
dozens of units are just a few feet away from the irrigation ditch?
- Can the City provide a detail that shows the buildout of the Northside Neighborhood Plan
Area that shows all the new and existing development (streets, sidewalks, trails,
buildings and parking areas)? It is really hard to envision what the completed plan will
look like.
IN CONCLUSION,
Thank you for taking time to review these concerns. The Meadows at Redwood HOA requests
that the City provide information to help us understand the outstanding questions we have
regarding the Northside Neighborhood Plan, Lupine connectivity, and the other concerns that
we listed.

With the Planning and Zoning Commission request for a resubmittal by the Enclave developer,
will there be a second P&Z hearing, and if so, are items voted on by the P&Z Commission on
4/21 considered settled and final, or do they get additional consideration by the P&Z
Commission?
We also request that the City provide us with information regarding any next steps our HOA can
take to collaborate with the City/developer for alternatives to the Lupine connection.
Again, Thanks You,

Hi
>
> I would like to submit a public comment about the proposed development at 209 Cherry Street.
>
> The City of Fort Collins recently provided us with a shadow study for 209 Cherry Street. The study concludes that the
shadows cast by the 7 story building will impact private properties across Cherry Street (specifically those in Mason
Street North) on December 21, the winter solstice. However it minimizes the impact and asserts that the shadows do
not restrict the surrounding building's right to solar access. I disagree with this conclusion.
>
> According to the shadow study on December 21, our home is in full shade at 9:00 AM, by noon it is in sun. From
examining the data in the shadow study, it can be reasonably assumed that our home will be in shadow for 2‐3 hours in
the morning throughout parts of the fall and winter. The first 3 hours of the day are are important for providing passive
solar heating to our home and for several other homes and businesses at Mason Street North. The building at 209
Cherry will restrict our right to solar access in the morning hours during the coldest time of the year when we depend on
passive solar heating. Morning shade for 2‐3 hours is not an inconsequential impact when day length is only 9 hours
long.
>
> The height of the proposed building impedes our solar access and is in conflict with the City of Fort Collins’ sustainable
energy action plan.

Planning and Zoning Commission
City of Fort Collins
Dear Commission Members Katz, Stackhouse, Sass, Haefele, Shepard, York, and Stegner,
We are writing in support of approval of the amendment to the Enclave at Redwood proposal MJA220003 that
would connect the Meadows at Redwood with the new Enclave development via a pedestrian/bike connection
instead of a full street.
First, we support the overall development of the Enclave at Redwood and understand the benefit of sorely
needed housing that it will bring to our community. Our HOA and the developer of the Enclave have been
working together for over a year to mitigate traffic impacts that would otherwise significantly disrupt our small
neighborhood. However, it is our understanding the City of Fort Collins has commented on the most recent
proposal set forth by the developers of the Enclave stating that Lupine Drive be connected for vehicular access
through our neighborhood despite ample access points in other cardinal directions and a traffic study indicating
that overall traffic access would not be impeded if Lupine Drive was not connected.
We understand the City's initiative to provide connectivity in an attempt to foster community but this particular
situation simply doesn't meet its intent. Previous versions of the Fort Collins City Plan (2018) had provisions for
protecting neighborhoods from "cut through" traffic (T4.3), which will occur if Lupine Drive is connected for
vehicular access. It also stated that streets should be designed to minimize through traffic in neighborhoods
(T13.2). The new housing in this development would result in excessive and detrimental "cut through" traffic on
Lupine Drive because Lupine would be the shortest route for the northernmost two thirds of the development to
head south toward old town and north toward shopping centers. The current version of the city plan includes
principle T7.3 which states the goal to “Provide an attractive, safe environment for pedestrians, bicyclists and
drivers on neighborhood streets…” Connection of Lupine drive to the new development would decrease overall
safety to the neighborhood with additional cut through traffic as traffic would be funneled through narrow
streets, making it difficult to have a safe environment for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers in the
neighborhood.
We are aware that Lupine Drive meets the technical requirements to be considered for traffic access to the
Enclave, but the reality is that when Lupine Drive is actually used on a daily basis, it is not only barely passable
by two vehicles side by side but also presents a nearly blind corner when turning east or west from Mullein
Drive. Typical use of the street (seen below at multiple times of day) includes parking on both sides, reducing
1
ITEM 4, CORRESPONDENCE 2
Packet pg. 273
the size of the street from 36 feet to less than 24 feet. This is 5 feet smaller than Mullein Drive at 29 feet, which
was determined to be too narrow for connection in the Enclave and previous area development proposals.
The intent of the connectivity initiative is more than fulfilled by the pedestrian and bicycle only access at Lupine
Drive without forcing traffic through a small neighborhood of young families and children. Connection and
relationship between neighbors in our community and the Enclave has the potential to happen when people
are able to bike and walk between neighborhoods; it cannot happen when the Enclave residents are driving
through our neighborhood, isolated in their vehicles. Emergency vehicle access is not impeded in the
alternative compliance request and perhaps most importantly the safety and culture in our neighborhood will
not be threatened.
To summarize, we fully support the construction of the Enclave at Redwood development. For those of us who
live here, this is not a situation of “change being hard”; we completely understand the need for additional
housing and development in Fort Collins. However, as 15 year resident homeowners in the Meadows at
Redwood subdivision, we are disappointed that the city would force a vehicular connection despite the
exemplary coordination and cooperation between the developer and our neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Scott Metz and Jenny Jones

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Lupine Drive Expansion
An open letter to the Fort Collins P & Z Board Members:
My name is Suzanne O'Donnell. I reside with my husband at 625 Spurge Circle. We have lived here
for 30 years.
I am writing yet another letter concerning the expansion of Lupine Drive. My husband thinks writing
this letter is a waste of time. This proposal was brought up many years ago with the Retreat
project. The residents of our neighborhood were opposed to it then and the developer do not want or
need it either. Years later, nothing has changed. We and the developer still so not see it as being
necessary. Our neighborhood is being swallowed up by multi housing projects. The Enclave
buildings will be literally in our backyard with a street just 30 feet from our backyard. We did not have
a choice about that. Some say that change is hard. Would you want that in your backyard? Please
do not add more traffic to our neighborhood to the entrance also.
The city wants connectivity. I can understand where that could work, but it is just not a good fit for our
small neighborhood. It may look like it would work on paper, but with residents' cars parked on both
sides of the street, the street just too narrow. Are the residents supposed to move their vehicles
somewhere else? if so, then where?
This decision will not affect anyone of you in any way. However, it will affect all of us here 24/7 for
forever. It is also a big safety concern with more traffic accidents and fear for the neighborhood
children.
Please, I beg you, make it an emergency access and a pedestrian and cyclist trail only.
Thank you.

I am a homeowner in the Redwood development and wish to express my displeasure regarding the possibility of
extending Lupine into the Enclave development. This extension will affect the unity of the Redwood development due
to traffic flowing through our street to get to Enclave.
The home I own in Redwood is a rental and my home in Severance (in Severance Shores) has a similar "connection" with
the neighboring development, Fox Ridge. We have a wide cement " road" between the two subdivisions with yellow
foldable pipes separating us from Fox Ridge. So if there is an emergency or other reason to exit through the other
subdivision, it becomes possible by pushing the "pipes" down allowing cars to exit. I am attaching a picture of the
connecting stretch of "road".
I sincerely hope you can see a way to keep these two subdivisions "semi‐connected" without compromising the
"community" integrity of Redwood.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hello,
I live in the Meadows at Redwood, and I am writing to share my concerns about Lupine being connected to the
Enclave development. The Meadows at Redwood is a significantly smaller community, and connecting the two
neighborhoods will greatly increase traffic in the Meadows. The developer has been responsive to our concerns
and has requested alternative compliance to keep Lupine closed to regular traffic while allowing for
emergency vehicle access and pedestrian/bike access. The results of the traffic study done by the city indicate
that keeping Lupine closed has no negative effects on traffic flow into/out of the Enclave and opening it does
not improve it. Removing parking on Lupine when it's already limited would also adversely affect this
neighborhood. The pedestrian and bicycle access will only promote interaction, whereas cars driving
quickly through will not and will also pose a safety concern to residents of the Meadows who are often outside
in our neighborhood with pets and children. I urge the committee to strongly consider the negative impact of
opening Lupine to vehicular traffic on the current residents of the Meadows and on the future residents of the
Enclave.
Thank you,

Commission
FROM: Meadows at Redwood HOA
RE: Meadows at Redwood HOA alternative connection compliance for The Enclave at
Redwood
The Meadows at Redwood HOA remains in favor of the alternative compliance effort to use an
emergency access and bicycle/pedestrian connection at the extension of Lupine between the
proposed Enclave development and the existing Meadows at Redwood neighborhood.
These are the concerns we have regarding the full connection of Lupine Street to The Enclave
and Northfield.
-The current roadway configuration of The Enclave has rerouted Collamer Street to make
it more convenient for thru traffic to access Redwood Street thru the Meadows at
Redwood. The Enclave’s Initial submittals forced traffic to wrap to the northside of the
Enclave before intersecting with Lupine access to Redwood Street. See image below.
Redline is current design, white road was initial proposal:
-The new configuration of Lupine/Collamer/Harvest Sun Street is the most direct route to
head north from the Enclave and Northfield developments.
-There are not any direct connections to the newly aligned Lemay Ave. or to Conifer
Street.
-All of The Enclave and Northfield access to Fort Collins is via Redwood Street or Suniga
Road.
-Why, in the spirit of creating connected neighborhoods, are these developers not
required to connect to adjacent neighbors on the east and north?
ITEM 4, CORRESPONDENCE 6
Packet pg. 279
- Does the City know how much traffic will be generated on connected Lupine Ave?
o This is the most direct northside connection will serve:
The Enclave: 238 units 453 Beds 644 Parking Spaces
Northfield: 442 units 1060 Beds 815 Parking Spaces
Total: 680 units 1513 Beds 1459 Parking Spaces
o The Meadows at Redwood is various nervous that this will amount to a lot of
traffic.
Our HOA understands that any traffic will be more traffic, but we do not
understand how much traffic to expect and how much traffic will be an
unbearable amount of traffic.
• It seems that this is a lot of dwelling units to serve with a local
street.
- If the City determines that a connection at Lupine is absolutely necessary, can the City
also consider modifications to Collamer to make it less obvious connection for the
entirety of these two developments?
o Can the City/Developer look to re-route Collamer so that it does not create such
a direct connection thru these three neighborhoods?
Per LCUASS section7-2A (Neighborhood Safety): “new streets shall be
laid out to minimize opportunities for cut-through traffic”
Does the current configuration of Collamer satisfy this goal?
o With this connection, is Lupine/Collamer/New Harvest Road actually now
considered a minor collector road or a residential collector road?
Does it meet the LCUASS maximum length limits for collector roadways
of 2640 feet? (LCUASS 7.2D)
Can the City provide other examples of residential local streets that were
converted to collector streets?
- The Meadows at Redwood has attached a map showing how the roadway network and
new development layout will look like when built. It is obvious to see that there is no
noteworthy influence from the Northside Neighborhood plan on the build out of this area.
Our HOA would like to understand what the point of the Northside Neighborhood Plan
was.
o Building Size and Density are completely different.
o Ally access in new developments
Several of our HOA concerns are repeats of our prior concerns sent to the City following the
4/21/22 Enclave P&Z hearing. We have attached that letter to this letter rather than restate
these concerns.

PREVIOUS LETTER SENT IN RESPONSE TO
4/21/22 P&Z MEETING
TO: City of Fort Collins Planning and Development Department and Planning and Zoning
Commission
FROM: Meadows at Redwood HOA
RE: Meadows at Redwood HOA response to P&Z meeting for The Enclave on 4/21/2022:
The Meadows at Redwood HOA has several items of concern regarding the Enclave
development that was presented to the P&Z Board on 4/21/2022.
Firstly, the Meadows at Redwood wants to be clear that the concerns we have are with the City
Code and the public participation process. We understand and appreciate the effort that
developers, City Staff, and the P&Z Board members make to find balance between often
conflicting goals and interests.
After the P&Z meeting for the Enclave, The Meadows at Redwood HOA members convened
and generated a list of concerns that were left unasked and unanswered, as is the nature of the
P&Z Meeting format. We are presenting those concerns below on behalf of the members of The
Meadows at Redwood HOA for the City/Developer to address (if possible). It would also be
appreciated if this letter can be shared with the P&Z members for them to be aware of our
concerns.
CONCERN #1:
Unfortunately for the households in the Meadows at Redwood, the initial (and only) public
presentation (held on 7/29/2020) for the Enclave was missing many critical details that
were clarified during the P&Z hearing. For the HOA members, the P&Z meeting was the
only place for us to interpret the changes and voice our concerns regarding a multitude of
changed elements in the Enclave design. Our HOA members were forced into an
uncomfortable situation to essentially vent our concerns to the P&Z Board. This did not feel
fair to our neighborhood or to the P&Z Board members. Our HOA felt that a second public
participation meeting could have circumvented the “vent” session that our HOA was forced to do
at the P&Z Meeting.
Also, and more concerning, this process essentially allows a public participation meeting to
occur too early in the design. The Enclave development proposed at the P&Z meeting was
significantly different than the plans that were presented to the public participation meeting. It
feels disingenuous for the City and Developer to present an early concept plan to the public and
present a significantly different plan to the P&Z Board for approval.
CONCERN #2:
Very broadly, the Meadows at Redwood HOA is confused how the Northside Neighborhood
Plan is interpreted and implemented. Many of us, as homeowners, were active participants
during the Northside Neighborhood plan development in the late 90’s. The HOA would like to
meet with City Staff, to help us understand how developments like Northfield and the Enclave
meet the intent of the Northside Neighborhood Plan. It feels to us that the character of existing
neighborhoods does not match these proposed developments that are clearly moving forward
ITEM 4, CORRESPONDENCE 6
Packet pg. 282
and considered in compliance with the Northside Neighborhood Plan.
The Northside Neighborhood plan is constantly cited by development proposals as encouraging
a mix of housing types, but the only "single family" style homes in the build out of the plan are
the existing old homes built in Andersonville, Redwood Meadows, and Alta Vista
neighborhoods. Why have these small neighborhoods become the poster child for mixed
housing types that the plan was supposed to encourage? Allowing all additional development to
be multi-family housing feel disingenuous to the Northside Neighborhood plan.
The City’s interpretation and enforcement of these neighborhood plans do have a major impact
on adjacent residents to new development. In our case, Lupine becomes a main access point
for large apartment complexes, when the interior roads were initially envisioned to simply
connect to future phases of The Meadows at Redwood single family home development.
CONCERN #3.1:
The Meadows at Redwood is very disappointed in the decisions and code requirements
requiring the Enclave to connect to the Meadows at Redwood via Lupine. To echo the boards
thoughts “change is hard” and we understand that. Our HOA has been very open and amiable to
development proposals in our area, despite being completely confused by the intent of the
Northside Neighborhood Plan. We understand that we have no negotiating power with how this
area develops and that our neighborhood is subject to the process of the City’s codes and
developers’ interests.
The Meadows at Redwood HOA heard three important points regarding Lupine connection that
were discussed at the P&Z meeting:
- The City fully understands that connecting Lupine to the Enclave will clearly increase
traffic on Lupine.
- Based on neighborhood testimony, the City understands that the Meadows at Redwood
HOA believes the additional traffic will be a significant reduction in the quality of life for
residents in the Meadows at Redwood HOA.
- The City believes that the reduced quality of life in the Meadows at Redwood HOA is
minor compared to the increased quality of life for all Fort Collins residents by enforcing
the interconnectivity requirement at this location.
Unfortunately, the decision to require interconnectivity on Lupine is more than a simple “change
is hard” type of issue. It isn’t a subtle thing when all of a sudden, your home is on a roadway that
is a direct connection to several hundred households. To make it worse, the whole decision feels
very arbitrary due to a code that the City is forced to enforce with no consideration to negative
impacts to existing residents’ quality of life. This new connection does nothing to improve the
Meadows at Redwood. It is also unclear if this connection actually helps any other community
members.
Again, our HOA has no negotiating power in this decision, but we do need to express our
frustration that the City would expect our HOA to just accept this significant change to the
character of our neighborhood without some due process that would include our neighborhood
input.
At the P&Z meeting, board members cited several examples where contentious connectivity was
ITEM 4, CORRESPONDENCE 6
Packet pg. 283
ultimately a non-issue. Can the City provide those examples to us for review? Are there
examples of small (36-ish household) communities becoming connected to 400+ dwelling units
and having the small subdivision as one of the primary access points? Are there examples of
large rental communities connecting to single family home neighborhoods?
Also, typically with new developments, the multi-family units are built on the exterior perimeter of
the development, concentrating traffic and noise to the perimeter of the neighborhood. These
developments place the more desirable single-family units on the interior of the development.
Our neighborhood is forced into the reverse situation, which is not a best practice for new
developments and urban design concepts. The Northside Neighborhood Plan will feature single-family
homes being on the outer perimeter of the neighborhood with the interior neighborhood
featuring large multi-family buildings.
CONCERN #3.2:
Ultimately, The Meadows at Redwood HOA is not convinced that the Lupine connectivity is
good for either of the neighborhoods or the City as a whole. How is the quality of life improved
for The Enclave, Northfield, or Meadows at Redwood with this connection when a full movement
at “Road C” provides the same connectivity to Redwood? In the big picture, how does this one
connection point improve the quality of life for the general citizens of Fort Collins? The
connection only seems to be necessary because the code requires it and there are incomplete
existing roadways caused by the incomplete development of the Meadows at Redwood.
There are several points we want to refine for the City and P&Z’s further consideration regarding
the connectivity at Lupine:
First point: The original Meadows at Redwood development was a multiphase project developed
in the 80’s and built in the 90’s. What were the connectivity goals at the time of this
development? The open-ended roadways at Lupine and Mullein were originally intended to
connect future phases of the Meadows at Redwood single family homes. This is still evident on
the GIS maps that shows undeveloped Phase 2 of Meadows at Redwood. If Meadows at
Redwood Phase 1 was built as a singular development in the 80’s, it very well may have had
culdesacs at Lupine and Mullein.
Second Point: If Redwood Meadows was a multi-hundred household neighborhood with many
access points to main roads, the City’s connectivity requirements would be less significant, as
the P&Z Board pointed out and as is the case in other locations that had to deal with large
adjacent developments. But, in the Meadows at Redwood HOA case, connecting a small 36
household development to two huge apartment complex developments does not seem like the
same scenario. It feels overwhelming to our neighborhood.
Third Point: There are many developments built after Meadows at Redwood that were not
required to meet connectivity requirements on local streets. There are multiple neighborhoods
that use cul-de-sacs when it is clear that these could have been points of local road
neighborhood connectivity. Some examples: Willow Springs was not required to provide
connectivity to the south future developments. Rossbourough was not required to connect to
Casa Granda & Wagon Wheel. Greenstone was not required to connect to Stanton Creek.
Fourth Point: Prior conversations about connectivity with the prior development, “The Retreat”
went into great depth about why a connection to Lupine was necessary. Primarily that Lupine
would be the only location that would allow full movements to Redwood. In that case,
the developer was very cooperative and found a creative alternate solution for us. Our HOA
ITEM 4, CORRESPONDENCE 6
Packet pg. 284
was very fortunate to work through this concern with the developer and the City Traffic Dept.
Ultimately (and ironically), the Meadows neighborhood was very agreeable to the proposed
student development.
Fifth point: The proposed traffic generation of the Enclave is not that different than the Retreat
(despite being student housing). The big difference between the Enclave and the Retreat is that
the Enclave development allows Road C to get a full movement at Redwood, whereas the
Retreat required right in - right out at Road C. This traffic flow change for the Enclave reduces
the traffic at Lupine, which is good for our HOA. However, the previous developer’s limited
movement at Road C was a major reason the City was requiring connectivity at Lupine. Now,
with full movement at Road C, the need for full movement access at Lupine/Redwood is no
longer a strong argument for traffic flow for the Enclave.
Sixth Point: The Meadows at Redwood HOA is still not convinced that a north connection to
Conifer is unviable. We have reached out to Neighbor to Neighbor and confirmed that the parcel
of land to make a connection to Redwood is still available for sale to this developer and we are
trying to setup a meeting with the developer to review this option in more detail.
Seventh Point: The Meadows at Redwood believes an attractive pedestrian and bicycle
connection that would also allow emergency vehicle access to The Enclave from Lupine would
be a very positive amenity for existing and proposed developments. It would also provide a
better opportunity for the interconnected community that the City desires to build. A ped/bike
access point would create less traffic within Meadows at Redwood and the Enclave, making
both developments more family friendly. It would also allow neighbors to interact outside of their
automobiles, where people tend to be gentler and more friendly. It would be more
environmentally friendly, requiring less resources to build and maintain. It would also promote
alternative, active modes of transportation that the City is focused on creating.
Ultimately, the Meadows at Redwood HOA want a clearer understanding why the City is forcing
Lupine connection for connectivity at the detriment of our small neighborhood when both The
Enclave developer and the Meadows HOA would be comfortable removing this connection?
The Meadows at Redwood appreciates the City’s goal to build stronger neighborhoods thru
roadway interconnectivity. However, we are worried that blindly implementing these
interconnectivity requirements can cause the reverse effect of creating animosity between
neighbors. We hope that there is room in the code interpretation to allow City Staff and P&Z
Board members space to use careful judgement in all interconnectivity considerations that occur
with new development. The space for this judgement has big implications to the fate of existing
small neighborhoods adjacent to large proposed developments.
The Meadows at Redwood wholly appreciates the Enclaves’ effort to request a variance for the
connectivity requirement at Mullein. Our HOA is still focused on pushing for a similar variance
for connectivity at Lupine.
OTHER CONCERNS:
Unfortunately, there are also a lot of other questions that the HOA members had as we digested
the Enclave development that was presented to the P&Z meeting. We will list them as points
that would have been nice to see and discuss in a public meeting format, prior to the P&Z
Meeting. If possible, the Meadows at Redwood would appreciate a response from the City to
address these open-ended questions.

- The public participation plan (7/29/2020) included single family homes. That home type
was removed from the revised Enclave plan presented at the P&Z meeting. How does
the removal of this home type improve the vision set forth in the Northside Neighborhood
Plan?
- The alleyway access to the multifamily homes along the Meadows at Redwood HOA
does not seem to fit the character of the Northside Neighborhood plan. Where are alley
presented in the plan? What other neighborhoods in the plan area have alleys?
- The alleyway setback changed from 75’ from property line at the public participation
meeting (7/29/2020) to 25’ at the P&Z meeting material. This puts the alley significantly
closer to existing Meadows HOA households’ backyards and bedroom windows.
- What is the ADT on these private road alleys? Based on the info from the P&Z meeting,
it seems like there will be about 250 trips per day in this alleyway, which is about equal
to all of the current traffic that The Meadows at Redwood HOA currently generates.
- Does the City have any code or maintenance requirements for private roads (alleys)?
- Will garbage trucks use the alleys for trash collection?
- Will each unit have its own trash can, or will there be centralized dumpsters?, If
dumpsters, where are the dumpsters located?
- Does The Enclave’s Traffic Study at Lupine include cut-thru traffic from Northfield
Development? If not, can the City provide a combined ADT from both developments at
Lupine?
- What are the City requirements for fences between developments? Who owns and
maintains the existing wood fences between The Meadows at Redwood and The
Enclave? (currently, they are owned by adjacent Meadows at Redwood HOA
households – our HOA does not maintain fences). Can the fences be removed? Will The
Enclave install adjacent fences?
- How is the regional bikeway along the ditch considered “regional” when it is only a few
feet from several dwelling unit front door stoops? From the P&Z meeting materials, it
looks like that section of trail is almost a private trail that serves a handful of homes that
face it. Are there examples of similar regional bike trails that are so close to front
entryway doors?
- Will the irrigation ditch corridor actually act like a wildlife corridor since the front doors of
dozens of units are just a few feet away from the irrigation ditch?
- Can the City provide a detail that shows the buildout of the Northside Neighborhood Plan
Area that shows all the new and existing development (streets, sidewalks, trails,
buildings and parking areas)? It is really hard to envision what the completed plan will
look like.
IN CONCLUSION,
ITEM 4, CORRESPONDENCE 6
Packet pg. 286
Thank you for taking time to review these concerns. The Meadows at Redwood HOA requests
that the City provide information to help us understand the outstanding questions we have
regarding the Northside Neighborhood Plan, Lupine connectivity, and the other concerns that
we listed.
With the Planning and Zoning Commission request for a resubmittal by the Enclave developer,
will there be a second P&Z hearing, and if so, are items voted on by the P&Z Commission on
4/21 considered settled and final, or do they get additional consideration by the P&Z
Commission?
We also request that the City provide us with information regarding any next steps our HOA can
take to collaborate with the City/developer for alternatives to the Lupine connection.
Again, Thanks You,
Meadows at Redwood HOA

To whom it may concern.
My name is John Cunningham I live at 649 Lupine Dr, Fort Collins, CO 80524. I am strongly opposed to having lupine dr
connected to the new development. This will absolutely negatively affect our neighborhood. If you have any regards for
the people who live here currently please don't allow this. With the raised level of the new development any connection
would put my house and others at the end of a slope increasing the likelihood of accidents and damage to parked cars
on the street .
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely.
John Cunningham.
