DISCUSSION
1.Prospect Plaza Redevelopment, Site Plan Advisory Review SPA240003
This is a request for a Site Plan Advisory Review (SPAR) to develop a
5-story student oriented apartment building. The plan proposes the
demolition of eleven 3-story apartment buildings and a multi-tenant
commercial building. The new building proposed will provide 696
rentable bedrooms and 418 parking spaces.
The SPAR process allows the Planning and Zoning Commission to
provide a decision within 60 days of submittal of a Development
Application.

Staff Presentation
Arlo Schumann, Planner, noted this item is a Site Plan Advisory Review (SPAR). He discussed the
site location and showed slides of the site, which is zoned as High-Density Mixed-Use (HMN) and
designated as Urban Mixed-Use District in the Structure Plan. Additionally, the site is located within
the City’s Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay and is part of the West Central
Neighborhoods Subarea Plan.
Schumann outlined the requirements of the SPAR process and associated deadlines. He noted that
should the Commission not approve the project, that decision can be overturned by a 2/3 vote of the
CSU Board of Governors. Schumann noted SPAR reviews examine location, character, and extent.
Schumann stated the site is approximately 4.5 acres with eleven 3-story residential buildings and a
multi-tenant commercial building. The proposal is for a five-story apartment building with 696
bedrooms and a plan to rent by the bedroom.

Applicant Presentation
Tom Berry, Holland Basham Architects, showed slides of the existing site and noted the residential
buildings are nearing the end of their useful life. He stated the redevelopment of the site and
additional housing aligns with the joint CSU/City Student Housing Action Plan. He stated the
proposal is for 225 apartment units consisting of 696 bedrooms, a structured parking garage
containing 324 parking spaces, and 46 surface parking spaces.
Berry discussed the site design which seeks to separate vehicles from pedestrian and bike areas. He
showed renderings of the proposed project and discussed the intention to provide a more human
scale along Prospect Road.
Berry addressed questions from the Commission’s work session, with the first being how the project
is incorporating the contextual heigh setback requirement of the HMN zone. Berry stated three of the
four sides of the property are under the jurisdiction of CSU and therefore do not have the lower height
requirement; however, along the south side of the property, the building has been limited to four
stories.
In terms of the requirement for articulation in walls greater than 40 feet in length in the HMN zone,
Berry stated there have been efforts to vary materials and break up façades. Regarding the
requirements for roof design, Berry stated the design includes sloped parapets, variation in parapet
heights, and horizontal shade elements at most of the storefront windows. Regarding entrances and
orientation, Berry stated the design is meant to draw users into the main entry corridor.
Staff Response
Schumann discussed some of the matters raised during the review process, including that the lighting
be capped at 3,000 kelvin color temperature, which is in alignment with City standards. He noted the
applicant has agreed to that. Additionally, Schumann noted that questions were raised regarding the
human scale along Prospect Road. Those Planning concerns have been addressed in design
changes, as have comments about landscaping at the southwest corner of the site.
Schumann noted the project requested and received a variance from Engineering for the spacing of
the site access in relation to the Centre and Prospect intersection, with the condition that the access
be a right-in, right-out movement. Schumann stated Engineering requested an additional condition
based on the traffic study for an extended drive before the parking starts on the site to provide for
safer traffic flows.
Schumann outlined comments that were made during the neighborhood meeting, including concerns
about traffic impacts and potential conflicts with the site access along Prospect Road, concerns about
general pedestrian safety, questions about the existing and planned bus stop, questions about
affordability given the existing buildings provide some more affordable units for students, and
questions about the displacement of existing student tenants during construction.
Schumann showed renderings of the building’s primary access point on Lake Street and the
articulation being provided on the long sides of the building. He stated staff is recommending the
Commission approve the Prospect Plaza Redevelopment Site Plan Advisory Review with the findings
of fact that the location of the development is consistent with the policies in City Plan and the West
Central Neighborhood Plan, the character of the Prospect Plaza Redevelopment conforms with the
City’s landscape and other design standards that are adopted by CSU, and the extent of the
proposed development is integrated into the surrounding context through on-site and perimeter
landscaping, accommodation of existing transit routes and utilities, public sidewalk improvements,

and access control to mitigate traffic operations. Schumann stated staff is also recommending a
condition that the drive aisle on the Prospect entrance be extended to 75 feet.
Commission Questions
Commissioner Katz asked about the width of a section of the Lake Street frontage. Berry replied it is
about 70 feet.
Commissioner Katz asked if there is any articulation in that portion of the frontage. Berry replied it is
fairly flat, though there is some depth change where the stone meets the wood paneling.
Commissioner Katz asked about the width of the sections between the wood on the Prospect Road
frontage. Berry replied they are about 75 feet.
Commissioner Katz asked about the current building standards for width without articulation.
Schumann replied it is 40 feet maximum. Berry read from the Code section discussing the way
façade articulation can be accomplished.
Commissioner Shepard asked about the ramp system. Berry showed the ramp location to the
accessible waiting area for the bus stop, but noted some reevaluations of floodplain modeling are
underway which may change the location a bit.
Commissioner Shepard noted there is projected to be about two feet of water depth for the 100-year
rain event in the plaza and asked if a floodplain use permit will be sought from the Stormwater Utility.
Berry replied in the negative.
Commissioner Shepard noted there is a great deal of water passing through the site and asked if the
building entrances are flood proofed. Berry replied they are elevated above the floodplain and there
are accessible exits to the east, west, and south that would not exit into the floodplain.
Commissioner Shepard asked if the flooding diagram that was shown was FEMA or a City drainage
basin. Fred Haberecht, applicant team, replied it is a CSU regulated floodplain which is modeled and
maintained by CSU in consultation with the City. He noted CSU has an IGA with the City to maintain
the floodplain and not exceed flows.
Commissioner Shepard asked if there is on-site detention on the site. Megan Walter, Sunny Civil,
replied the floodplain is regulated and by CSU and the floodplain map will be updated to show a no-
rise in the flood elevation anywhere. Walter noted detention and water quality are City-regulated
items and work has been done with City staff, but because the impervious area of the property is
being reduced with this project, the requirement for traditional detention has been waived.
Additionally, the water quality requirements of the City are being met by implementing water quality
ponds throughout the site.
Commissioner Shepard asked where the water goes. Walter replied it does flood, but then goes into
an inlet, which will be improved with the project, that eventually leads to the Arthur Ditch.
Commissioner York asked about the projected lifespan of the new building. Berry replied it is
expected to be 30-50 years.
Commissioner York noted that is less than the current buildings on the site. He asked about the
location of the electrical boxes and whether they will be screened if they are external to the building.
Berry replied they are working with City staff on transformer locations and stated one proposed
location is along the east side of the site in a breezeway such that they are not visible.

Commissioner York asked if the traffic study for the Prospect and Centre intersection included bike
and pedestrian crossings made at-grade or via the tunnel. Steve Gilchrist, Traffic Operations, replied
the numbers represent the crossings at-grade. He stated levels of service are not necessarily
evaluated for grade-separated crossings as they do not impact the overall traffic.
Commissioner Shepard asked about the enhancement of landscaping along Prospect Road. Berry
replied it is not yet in final form, but stated elements such as seating walls, planting beds, and colored
concrete or pavers are being considered for the entrance to the pedestrian walkway. He noted there
is also a detached sidewalk with a tree lawn further down Prospect and there will be decorative
security fencing in front of the courtyards with planting beds likely in front of that.
Commissioner Shepard asked if there would be street trees in the tree lawn. Berry replied in the
affirmative.
Commissioner Shepard asked if the lighting in the exposed areas would be concealed. Berry replied
the intention is for a soft glow, though they could look into shielding the light sources.
Public Participation
Jorja White urged CSU STRATA to consider the direct impact this project will have on students. She
commended the focus on transit access and adding extra bedrooms in the redevelopment plan and
urged the developers to prioritize rental affordability.
Applicant Response
Pete Meyer, CSU STRATA Vice President of Real Estate, stated the mission of CSU STRATA is to
work on behalf of CSU for the benefit of the students. He noted STRATA is a non-profit and has a
fiduciary responsibility that must be balanced with the commitment to CSU. He stated the goal of the
project is to provide a continued affordable option for students while also creating an atmosphere that
students will enjoy. He also noted they are working with multiple groups to potentially provide
housing options for some of the students currently living in Prospect Plaza.
Commission Questions and Deliberation
Commissioner Shepard asked about the details of the Lake Street improvements. Gilchrist replied
that the Lake Street project is a joint project between the City and CSU and is primarily an active
modes capital project.
Commissioner Shepard asked if CSU STRATA is anticipated to participate financially in the project.
Gilchrist replied that is a potential.
Commissioner Katz stated this is one of the most intriguing apartment buildings he has seen from a
design perspective; however, he expressed concern about the massing of the façades, and noted
that, while there are color and material changes, he would like to see more projections and
recessions in the design elements to create more articulation.
Vice Chair Sass echoed Commissioner Katz’ comments and commended the attention that has been
paid to the other sides of the building.
Commissioner Shepard also concurred with the comments about articulation and commented on the
well-done, generous landscaping along Prospect at Aggie Village North. He suggested that needs to
be replicated in this project and encouraged the placement of street trees on 30- or 35-foot centers

rather than the required 40-foot centers to help mitigate the building mass.
Chair Stackhouse encouraged the developer to keep the project as affordable as possible and stated
that may be more important than having additional articulation.
Commissioner Katz stated he would like to condition an approval on adding articulation, or he would
be voting to deny the project.
Vice Chair Sass stated it is important to understand that the Code is quite clear about accomplishing
façade articulation and stated this building does not meet that standard. He stated he would like to
add a condition as well.
Schumann stated his measurements of the plans showed a 40-foot section on the Lake Street
façade, and 70-75 feet along the east side of the building. Berry confirmed those measurements.
Vice Chair Sass clarified he would like to see the first bay of the east façade have additional
articulation, even if that is minimal. Commissioner Shepard and Vice Chair Katz concurred.
Commissioner Peel requested staff input regarding their reasoning for recommending approval given
the lack of articulation. Schumann replied there is a change in materials and he didn’t know the exact
dimensions of each section of material offhand. He noted there is articulation at the ground floor.
Additionally, he stated as he was examining the project within the SPAR criteria of location,
character, and extent, and the building overall works within the context of CSU’s buildings and CSU’s
own building design criteria.
Chair Stackhouse asked the applicant to weigh in on whether there is any flexibility to add
articulation. Berry stated he believed the charge of the Commission was to either approve or deny
the project and make suggestions, with which the applicant could agree; however, it cannot make a
decision with a condition. Frickey stated Division 6.11 of the Land Use Code states that conditions of
approval are not applicable in SPAR reviews.
Chair Stackhouse asked the applicant whether the articulation and landscaping suggestions would be
taken into consideration. Berry replied that the applicant team has worked collaboratively with staff
on this project and hopes for that to continue; however, the suggestions will need to be evaluated in
terms of cost impact. He stated the suggestions could be evaluated.
Commissioner Peel stated that while she understands the concerns of her fellow Commissioners, she
is fine with the building as is.
Commissioner York concurred there is a concern with the amount of massing lacking articulation, and
noted that is of particular concern for pedestrians and cyclists. He expressed concern about the
entirety of the CSU campus feeling like a large wall.
Vice Chair, Sass requested clarification on the 75-foot drive aisle issue and asked how that should be
handled procedurally given conditions cannot be made. Assistant City Attorney Jarvis stated the
issue is presented within the staff report and sample motions as a condition and suggested it could
be stated as a suggestion rather than a condition should the Commission desire.
Chair Stackhouse expressed support for moving forward with approval given the dialogue that has
occurred regarding the east side of the building and the landscaping, particularly given Colorado
statutes for the SPAR process and the need for affordability. She also encouraged good decision
making as final plans are brought forward.

Commissioner Connelly also expressed support for moving forward with approval and commended
the project. He stated he is confident the applicants will act in good faith to address the
Commission’s concerns, but noted it is important the project is cost-effective.
Commissioner Katz stated he would vote to deny the project as is, though he does want the project to
move forward.
Commissioner Shepard expressed sensitivity to the affordability issue but noted the project is not
subject to City fees. He also commented on the positive change in CSU adding on-campus housing.
Vice Chair Sass moved, seconded by Commissioner Connelly, that the Fort Collins Planning
and Zoning Commission approve the development plan submitted showing the location,
character, and extent thereof of the Prospect Plaza Redevelopment, SPA240003. This
approval is pursuant with the Colorado Revised Statutes 31-23-209, and is based on this
Commission’s finding that the submitted site development plan meets the applicable Land
Use Code requirements set forth in Land Use Code Section 6.11.2(Q) with additional site
development detail as described in the comment letter to the Board of Governors of the
Colorado State University system’s representative and the representative’s responses
providing additional plan details satisfactory to support this approval. This decision is further
based upon the agenda materials, the information and materials presented during this
hearing, and the Commission discussion with the applicant on this item. The Commission
hereby adopts the information, analysis, findings of fact, and conclusions regarding this Site
Plan Advisory Review contained in the staff report included in the agenda materials for this
hearing. Yeas: Shepard, Peel, Connelly, Sass and Stackhouse. Nays: Katz and York.

Summary of Request
This is a request for an Overall Development Plan (ODP) for future
phased expansion of a private school campus located northeast of
the intersection of International Boulevard and Mexico Way in the
Employment (E) zone district. The site is partially developed with an
existing school and light industrial building, an existing street and
block network, utilities, and basic stormwater infrastructure originally
developed in Larimer County. The ODP identifies future land uses,
including the private school, as well as potential site access points,
an expanded pedestrian network, and approximate locations of
natural features.
Zoning Map
Note: The site was annexed March 14, 2025, and the zoning map does not
yet reflect its updated status as part of the City’s Employment (E) Zone
District.
Next Steps
If the ODP is approved, future phased development will require
individual Project Development Plan submittals and review by the
Planning and Zoning Commission.

1.Introduction
A.PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the proposed Overall Development Plan (ODP) is to guide future phased expansion of a
private school campus, including additional classroom, administrative, and recreational/sports field facilities
for the Heritage Christian Academy capable of supporting approximately 600 students. The school has been
operating at its present location on the northeast portion of the ODP site for nearly two decades and has
recently had upwards of 240 students enrolled.
The ODP site, 19.76 acres in size, is located northeast of the intersection of International Boulevard and
Mexico Way. The site is split approximately between 6 acres of existing development where the school and
other light industrial businesses already operate, and 13 acres of vacant land spread across multiple parcels
and blocks. The site was recently annexed into the City within the Employment (E) zone district.
The applicants have identified a private school for elementary, intermediate, and high school as the principal
land use sought across the entire ODP site. In addition, the ODP also includes notations to permit other
primary and secondary uses in proportions required by the Employment zone district to preserve flexibility for
interim or future development should plans for the enlarged school campus be delayed or scaled back, based
on the school’s fundraising efforts.
The primary goal of the ODP is to identify additional planning parameters under the City’s Land Use Codes
for the pedestrian network, updated stormwater infrastructure, and the location of natural features and
approximate buffer zone requirements. Other common ODP parameters such as street and block network
and street connectivity are already in place across the site, developed in Larimer County as part of the
Industrial Business Park International PUD.
The anticipated expansion of school facilities will largely be based on fundraising efforts and the timing of
future phases of the ODP is not known at this time.
B. BACKGROUND
1.Current Conditions & Prior Development
The school has been operating at 2506 Zurich Drive on the northeastern portion of the site for nearly two
decades alongside other light-industrial businesses in an existing structure. The school also utilizes outdoor
play/sports field areas to the east/southeast located between Zurich Drive and the Lake Canal. The school is
seeking future expansion onto the other undeveloped portions of the site, which encompass a portion of the
Industrial Business Park International PUD, approved in Larimer County in 1980. Various amendments to the
PUD have changed the original parcel boundaries and removed a ‘cul-de-sac’ street that would have
mimicked Rome Court in the preceding years.
The Industrial Business Park International PUD and subsequent amendments were responsible for
establishing the existing street & block network and installing basic utilities and stormwater infrastructure that
remain across the site today. Mexico Way on the ODP’s western boundary was also recently upgraded to
LCUASS and City standards when the Timbervine Neighborhood was constructed in the mid-2010s. The
remaining streets/sidewalks within the ODP site do not meet current LCUASS standards and upgrades and
long-term maintenance for the streets will be a key consideration during review of subsequent Project
Development Plan (PDPs) as the school campus develops.
The ODP was submitted and reviewed by staff concurrently with an application for annexation. The Heritage
Annexation was recently completed, with City Council placing the entire ODP site into the Employment (E)
Zone District. Second Reading of the annexation occurred at City Council on March 4, 2025.

C.CITY OF FORT COLLINS LAND USE CODE & CITY PLAN
The City’s comprehensive plan, City Plan, embodies the vision and values of the community for the future and
are reflected in the Land Use Code’s Purpose statements found in Section 1.2.2. The proposal specifically
addresses the goals in City Plan and Land Use Code Purpose statements by requiring high-level planning of
the site for future phases of development to ensure proper transportation connections, minimizing impacts to
the natural environment by applying the City’s modern buffering standards, and setting up the site and future
submittals for high quality design that can compatibly transition between an area of employment and light
industrial uses to residential neighborhoods. This ODP specifically addresses the following 1.2.2 Purpose
Statements:
(J) Minimizing the adverse environmental impacts of development.
(K) Improving the design, quality and character of new development.
(L) Fostering a more rational pattern of relationship among residential, business and industrial uses for
the mutual benefit of all
(M) Encouraging the development of vacant properties within established areas.
Concurrent with the ODP review was the annexation and zoning of the property to the Employment (E) Zone
District. This zoning designation also matches the guidance provided in City Plan’s Structure Plan which lists
private schools as a principal land use within the zone district, as well as creating walkable campus
environment.
D.EAST MULBERRY PLAN
The ODP site is located within the boundaries of the East Mulberry Plan, recently updated in December 2023.
The proposed school campus expansion is consistent with the goals and land use guidance provided by this
plan. Specifically, Goal 4, Community Amenities & Services, identifies the need for more services and
amenities in the corridor which are presently lacking, including schools and education opportunities. The
corridor currently lacks any Poudre School District schools, the nearest being over 1.8 miles away from near
the center of the Mulberry Corridor and the project site. The private school campus expansion provides an
additional option to consider in the corridor.
Another key goal of the plan is Goal 1, Commercial and Industrial Hub, to ensure the overall corridor can
maintain and grow as a key employment and light industrial base for the community and region. The school
expansion can operate compatibly within an area of existing office and light industrial development while
minimizing impacts to other adjacent industrial and employment users. The school has already been
operating at its current location in an industrial park side-by-side in the same building as other light industrial
users.

Finally, the project site is located in the ‘Transitional’ Character Area, which in part seeks to create a
compatible transition between the more industrial ‘Airpark’ Character Area to the southwest and the
residential neighborhoods south of Vine Drive adjacent to the ODP site. A school campus provides this
transition, buffering the residential neighborhoods from potential impacts of light industrial development,
ranging from noise, odors, or visual impacts such as outdoor storage.
E.OVERVIEW OF MAIN CONSIDERATIONS
The purpose of an Overall Development Plan is to establish general planning parameters for projects that will
be developed in multiple phases while allowing sufficient flexibility for detailed planning in subsequent
submittals.
The Heritage Christian Academy is planning a large expansion of their facilities; however, the timing is largely
dependent on fundraising and the timeline for future submittals is uncertain. Against this context, the
applicants are required to establish an ODP and basic planning parameters for the site to guide the future
campus. In addition to establishing land uses and densities, ODPs often focus on future transportation
networks and connectivity, such as establishing a framework for future streets, blocks, and street/multimodal
connections to adjacent development.
As the site has already undergone previous PUD approvals in Larimer County that established a pre-existing
street and block network, the primary considerations during the ODP review have centered on establishing
missing framework elements for a specific school campus use, such as more detail on a pedestrian network,
and updates for high-level infrastructure planning, including stormwater management, an analysis of future
traffic generation, and identifying existing natural features and buffering zones required for future submittals.
From a community perspective, most of the interest and comments received about the project relate to
access and traffic concerns, such as school drop-off and pick-up times and impacts to intersections such as
Timberline Rd and International Boulevard. These questions have formed an important element for analysis in
the project’s traffic study to setup more detailed planning and compliance in future Project Development Plan
submissions.
2.Public Outreach
A.NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
A joint neighborhood meeting for the ODP and Heritage Annexation took place on September 5, 2024. A
meeting summary, including a link to a video recording, is attached.
Comments and questions at the meeting focused primarily on transportation and traffic issues related to
expansion or intensification of the school use. Concerns were raised about ensuring proper management for
student drop-off and pick-up, as well as that the nearby intersection of Timberline Road and International
Boulevard is not equipped to handle an influx of traffic. Concerns were also raised about ensuring better
striping/bike lanes and providing additional connections to the overall area as only one street, International
Boulevard, provides direct access to the industrial park and the Timbervine and Dry Creek neighborhoods.
B.PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Several email messages have been received to date for the project and staff will forward and any new or
additional comments received between the public notice period and hearing to the Commission for their
consideration. The handful of comments primarily relate to traffic and streets issues, such as additional traffic
generation from the school expansion negatively impacting nearby streets, especially during drop-off and
pick-up times, as well as questions regarding the status of street maintenance as it relates to school
expansion and the annexation process.

Standards contained in Articles 3 and 5 that can be applied at the level of detail
of an ODP.
Permitted Uses – Employment (E) District
The ODP identifies all parcels for Elementary, Intermediate, or High School
uses and/or other Employment (E) Zoning Primary or Secondary Uses. The
ODP intent is to fully utilize the entire site for a school campus while preserving
flexibility for other primary or secondary uses permitted in the (E) zone district
during interim periods while the campus develops or if changes in planned
enrollment and fundraising reduce the eventual size of the future school
footprint.
Division 4.2, Table of Primary Uses, indicates that ‘Public/Private schools
(elem., interm. & H.S.)’ is a permitted use in the (E) Zone District. Any other
land uses proposed on the site under the ODP’s broader notes for Primary and
Secondary uses will be reviewed during subsequent Project Development Plan
(PDP) submittals for consistency with Permitted Uses in the Employment
District.
Section 2.5.2(B)(2), Secondary Uses, is a standard in the Employment District
that categorizes permitted uses as either primary or secondary uses, and limits
secondary uses to no more than 25% of the gross area of the development
plan. The proposed ‘Public/Private schools (elem., interm. & H.S.)’ land use is
considered a primary use and meets this requirement. Any other land uses
which are considered secondary will be subject to restrictions to 25% of the
gross area of the ODP if or when they are reviewed as part of subsequent PDP
submittals.

Plan Standards
–Residential
Density
This standard requires an ODP to be consistent with the density ranges of the
underlying zone district for any proposed residential uses.
No direct residential land uses are proposed as part of the ODP. The
Employment (E) District does contain a requirement that any residential
development must be a minimum of 7 units per acre and this standard would
be applied if residential uses are proposed during subsequent PDP submittals,
alongside the secondary use restrictions which would limit residential uses to
no more than 25% the gross area of the entire ODP site.

–Master Street
Plan, Street
Connectivity,
On-Site Access
These standards require the ODP to conform to the Master Street Plan and
Street Pattern and Connectivity standards (Sections 5.4.5 and 5.4.7) and also
to conform with Transportation Level of Service requirements found in Section
5.4.10 and standards for On-Site Access in Section 5.9.1(C)(6).
Section 5.4.5, Master Street Plan requires development applications to comply
with the location and classification of streets on the City’s Master Street Plan,
potentially accommodating future streets through right-of-way dedications.
Within and along the ODP boundary, the Master Street Plan only identifies one
street, International Boulevard, a 2-lane arterial. This section of roadway and
right-of-way already exist along the site’s southern boundary.
Section 5.4.7, Street Pattern and Connectivity Standards, requires
development applications to develop or extend local street systems that
interconnect with adjacent development and the community’s collector and
arterial street network, with specific standards for the spacing of streets.
This ODP is somewhat unusual in that it is building upon an existing framework
of streets established by a prior Larimer County PUD rather than establishing a
brand new street network. In addition to the established street system, the
presence of natural features and adjacent development prevents additional
street connectivity. Regardless, the ODP and adjacent development is well-
served by three north-south streets (Mexico Way, Munich Way, Zurich Drive)
and two east-west streets (International Boulevard, Zurich Drive).
The spacing of intersections along International Boulevard exceeds the
minimum requirements of Section 5.4.7 which requires a maximum separation
of 1,320 feet. The existing separation along International Boulevard between
Zurich Drive and Munich Way is approximately 640 feet, and the separation
between Munich Way and Mexico Way is approximately 630 feet.
Section 5.4.7(E) requires developments to contribute towards developing a
local street system that will eventually provide access to multiple arterial streets
within the same section mile unless infeasible by unusual features, existing
development, or natural features. Within the ODP boundary, additional street
connectivity to contribute to this standard is not possible and the general
vicinity will continue to lack access to multiple arterial streets due to the
presence of natural features such as Dry Creek, the Lake Canal, and the BNSF
Railroad switching yard along Vine Drive.
Long-term, the City’s Master Street Plan identifies an extension of International
Boulevard further to the west, eventually linking to Cordova Road which will
provide additional arterial street access to Lemay Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, and
Mulberry Road. This future connectivity is dependent on either additional
development occurring along International Boulevard’s path or a City Capital
Project.
Section 5.4.7(F) requires local street connections to adjacent development at
intervals not to exceed 660 feet. The ODP is primarily bounded by existing
streets with the exception of its northern and northeastern boundary. At these
locations, existing connectivity via Mexico Way already provides the necessary
spacing interval to adjacent development or is infeasible due to the presence of
a natural feature (Lake Canal) and no connecting opportunity in existing
adjacent development.

Finally, the ODP also complies with Transportation Level of Service
requirements outlined in Section 5.4.10 and direct on-site access to individual
destinations as required in Section 5.9.1(C)(6).
The proposal plan and the existing framework of streets meets and exceeds
LCUASS and connectivity standards and is establishing a new bike and
pedestrian framework across the site to accommodate anticipated internal
pedestrian traffic to meet individual destinations of the internal campus,
complying with 5.9.1(C)(6).
This pedestrian network is represented on the ODP map through a series of
dotted lines creating a new north-south spine across ODP Parcels A & B, as
well as an east-west spine on the southern portion of ODP Parcel A. In
addition, the pedestrian connection is illustrated along all streets of the ODP,
as with the exception of Mexico Way, future submittals will be required to
establish street frontage improvements and installation of street sidewalks
meeting LCUASS standards. Given a higher level of anticipated pedestrian
traffic of the school campus, there is the opportunity to provide an enhanced
street sidewalk network.
The ODP also submitted a Traffic Impact Study with an assumption for a total
of 600 students and relevant analysis for a school land use, including drop-off
and pick-up queuing. While a final location for the drop-off area may change, it
is currently anticipated to take place along the western section of ODP Parcel
A.
Based on the projected traffic to be generated by development within the ODP,
the traffic study meets LCUASS Level of Service standards, including the
Timberline/International intersection in the short term. The study indicates a
traffic volume signal warrant is met under the long-range (2045) analysis,
primarily due to growth in background traffic on Timberline Rd. The City’s
Master Street Plan already anticipates future widening of Timberline Road to 4-
lanes and a potential signalized intersection at International Boulevard as an
arterial/arterial intersection at a half-mile spacing.

The project submitted an Ecological Characterization Study and alongside City
Environmental Planning staff identified the following natural habitats and
features on-site or in adjacent development, along with recommendations for
establishing appropriate buffer zones or mitigation measures at the time of
subsequent Project Development Plan reviews:
Lake Canal, primarily along ODP Parcel C’s northern/eastern

Heritage Christian Academy Overall Development Plan
September 18, 2024
Heritage Christian Academy is beginning its path towards becoming a full two-track school. As
they grow to two tracks and double the size of the student body, Heritage Christian Academy
must expand its facilities.
To support the growth of the school, HCA has purchased approximately 13.6 acres of property
located adjacent to, and west of, the existing school site within the Industrial Business Park
International PUD, currently located in unincorporated Larimer County.
On March 8, 2024, a Conceptual Review meeting was held with the City of Fort Collins and
HCA was encouraged to begin with Annexation and Zoning of the property, followed by an
Overall Development Plan since the planned expansions are likely to be phased. Annexation
documents have been submitted to the City and are currently under review. This submittal of the
Overall Development Plan (ODP) follows the request for Annexation and anticipated
Employment (E) zoning of the property.
The project phasing may change based on how the project is funded, but at this time is
anticipated to begin with the lots south of Zurich Drive (approximately 10 acres) followed by the
property north of Zurich Drive (approximately 3 acres). Roads and utilities are already existing
within the ODP area, but required improvements will be determined and constructed as required
to support each phase in compliance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards and
other applicable city codes.

Statement of Planning Objectives
Heritage Christian Academy Overall Development Plan
September 18, 2024
Overview
Heritage Christian Academy is beginning its path towards becoming a full two-track school. As
they grow to two tracks and double the size of the student body, Heritage Christian Academy
must expand its facilities.
To support the growth of the school, HCA has purchased approximately 13.6 acres of property
located adjacent to, and west of, the existing school site within the Industrial Business Park
International PUD, currently located in unincorporated Larimer County.
On March 8, 2024, a Conceptual Review meeting was held with the City of Fort Collins and
HCA was encouraged to begin with Annexation and Zoning of the property, followed by an
Overall Development Plan since the planned expansions are likely to be phased. Annexation
documents have been submitted to the City and are currently under review. This submittal of the
Overall Development Plan (ODP) follows the request for Annexation and anticipated
Employment (E) zoning of the property.
Existing Land Uses within the property include:
Institutional/Civic/Public (school), and
Vacant, undeveloped properties
Existing adjacent land uses include:
Commercial uses – south
Residential uses – north
Industrial uses – east
Vacant, undeveloped property – west
Statement of appropriate City Plan Principles and Policies achieved by the ODP
City plans governing and influencing the ODP area include:
·City Plan (updated 2019)
·East Mulberry Plan (updated December 5, 2023)
·Land Use Code Phase 1 Update (effective May 17, 2024), and
·Potential Land Use Code Phase 2 Updates (in progress)
Appropriate City Plan Principles and Policies achieved by the proposed plan:
Neighborhood Livability and Social Health
Principle LIV 1: Maintain a compact pattern of growth that is well served by public
facilities and encourages the efficient use of land. The Overall Development Plan aligns
with and helps to achieve applicable policies in this category.
ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 2
Packet Pg. 20
Policy LIV 1.1 – GROWTH MANAGEMENT AREA (GMA)
The proposed ODP is located within the City’s GMA, has historically been part of the
East Mulberry Enclave and is currently being annexed into the City of Fort Collins.
POLICY LIV 1.2 - AMENDMENTS TO THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT AREA
The proposed ODP maintains the GMA as currently configured.
POLICY LIV 1.5 - CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICIES
The proposed ODP allows for the use of standard City policies for public improvements
to be implemented including developer participation in infrastructure upgrades.
POLICY LIV 1.6 - ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES
The proposed ODP includes developed properties already served by public utilities
including water and sewer. Stormwater facilities exist on the site and will be modified as
needed with future site development to meet City requirements. Public roads within the
ODP area already exist, and future site development will allow additional pedestrian and
bicycle improvements to be made based on City requirements.
Environmental Health
Policy ENV 1.6 – WILDLIFE CORRIDORS
The ODP identifies and protects the adjacent Lake Canal corridor and implements a 50’
buffer for any future development or redevelopment.
Safe Community
Policy SC 3 – FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT
The ODP does not allow for development within any mapped 100-year floodplain or
hazard area.
In addition, the ODP supports applicable goals of the East Mulberry Plan including:
Goal 1: COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL HUB by fostering a healthy and prosperous commercial
and industrial hub for the City, while remaining viable for small businesses and industry, and
1.T.1 by maintaining flexibility for future land uses that act as a buffer between industrial and
residential areas, thereby supporting the continued viability of industrial and commercial areas.
Description of existing and proposed open space, buffering, landscaping, circulation, transition
areas, wetlands and natural areas
The ODP property includes both a developed site and undeveloped lots within the Industrial
Business Park International Plat. The developed lots include the former industrial building that
now houses the Heritage Christian Academy and a smaller leased space. A playground and
softball/baseball field and playground are located east of the school. The intent is to retain the
existing school building facilities and parking, and to develop new school facilities on the
undeveloped parcels in phases over time. The final locations of buildings, parking, open space
and landscaping will be determined with site-specific development plans for the property.
ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 2
Packet Pg. 21
Lake Canal is adjacent to the northeast boundary of the property near the current school site.
The Ecological Characterization Study indicates the canal as a wildlife corridor and
recommends a 50-foot buffer which has been indicated on the ODP plan. No new facilities are
planned within the buffer area.
Two offsite stormwater wetlands exist associated with the Timbervine neighborhood detention
ponds. These stormwater wetlands are greater than 1/3 without significant use by waterfowl
and/or shorebirds, which warrants a 100-foot buffer to create a Natural Habitat Buffer Zone.
However, since the existing 6’ height privacy fence limits the value of a Natural Habitat Buffer
Zone south of the fence, no buffer is indicated on the ODP property in this location based on the
recommendations of the Ecological Characterization Study.
The existing school site includes landscaping (trees and shrubs) along the building perimeter
and within the parking areas. The remainder of the ODP property west and southwest of the
school site is undeveloped containing dryland grass vegetation and existing stormwater
channels. Future development areas will include landscaping to meet the requirements of the
Land Use Code.
Public streets in the ODP area exist including Zurich Drive, Mexico Way, Munich Way and
International Boulevard. Sidewalks exist on Zurich Drive west to Munich Way, on the north side
of International Boulevard, and on the east side of Mexico Way. The existing school has three
access drives on Zurich Drive. Future development will allow for the completion of continuous
sidewalk connections within the ODP area.
Estimate of number of employees for business, commercial, and industrial uses
·Existing HCA Population: 38 staff and 250-290 students (this has fluctuated over the last
couple of years)
·Proposed maximum population of entire campus with new development: 60 staff and
600 students
Description of rationale behind the assumptions and choices made by the applicant
The ODP allows for the expansion of the growing Heritage Christian Academy. The ODP is
required since the planned expansions are likely to be designed and constructed in more than
one phase. The ODP follows the recent request for Annexation and anticipated Employment (E)
zoning of the property and cannot be approved until the Annexation and Zoning are complete.
Once the ODP is approved, the intent is to move forward with fundraising and future design of
the initial phase(s) of the school’s expansion. These subsequent site-specific development
plans will require approval by the City of Fort Collins and must comply with city standards and
codes.
Written narrative addressing each /issue raised at the neighborhood meeting
A neighborhood meeting was held on September 5 at the Heritage Christian Academy. Key
questions/concerns raised were regarding traffic – specifically concerns regarding the safety at
ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 2
Packet Pg. 22
the intersection of International Boulevard and North Timberline Road. The ODP includes a
Traffic Impact Study (TIS) that outlines the impacts that the proposed development would have
on the existing facilities. The TIS demonstrates the ODP’s compliance with the standards of the
Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards for traffic at the time of development. Future
developments within the ODP area will include additional project-specific Traffic Impact Studies
to determine improvements required with each development phase.
There was a question if the school’s planned athletic fields would be lighted. This has not yet
been determined, but details for any planned site and field lighting will be required to be
reviewed at the time of site development (Project Development Plan) and must meet the
standards of the Fort Collins Land Use Code.
Name of the project as well as any previous name(s) the project may have been known by
· Heritage Christian Academy Overall Development Plan
· Heritage Annexation (pending)
· Part of Industrial Business Park International PUD (unincorporated Larimer County)
A narrative description of how conflicts between land uses are being avoided or mitigated
A K-12 school use is a compatible use with the adjacent residential neighborhoods and
commercial/industrial uses. The existing land uses to the east of the ODP area include the
existing Heritage Christian Academy and a variety of Industrial uses. The planned ODP will
integrate with the existing school to create a campus of facilities for the Heritage Christian
Academy students. The nearest residential use is the southernmost multifamily building in the
Timbervine neighborhood and is located over 80’ from the ODP boundary and separated from
the property by a 6’ height privacy fence, pedestrian path and a stormwater detention pond. This
existing buffer minimizes potential conflicts between the residential neighborhood and the
proposed school use. The property west of the ODP area is undeveloped, but likely to develop
as similar commercial/industrial uses supported by the East Mulberry Plan.

1.0 Introduction
This Traffic Impact Study (TIS) is for the proposed Heritage Christian Academy (HCA)
expansion project located at 2506 Zurich Drive in Fort Collins, CO. The purpose of this
TIS is to identify project traffic generation characteristics, to identify potential traffic
related impacts on the adjacent street system, and to develop mitigation measures
required for identified traffic impacts.
Kellar Engineering LLC (KE) has prepared the TIS to document the results of anticipated
traffic conditions in accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards
(LCUASS) and to identify any projected impacts to the transportation system. Full build-
out of the project site is anticipated to generate an additional total of approximately 893
daily weekday trips, 284 AM total peak hour trips, and 191 School PM total peak hour
trips. See Table 1: Trip Generation.
2.0 Existing Conditions and Roadway Network
The project site is located west of the Timberline Rd/International Blvd intersection in
Fort Collins, CO. Timberline Road is a north-south roadway that is classified as a 4-lane
arterial on the City of Fort Collins Master Street Plan. The posted speed of Timberline
Road is 45 mph south of International Blvd, and 35 mph north of International Blvd.
Bicycle lanes exist on Timberline Road. This portion of Timberline Rd has a two-lane
cross section with a northbound left-turn lane and a southbound right-turn lane. The
Timberline Rd/International Blvd intersection has stop sign control with the stop sign
facing International Blvd. International Blvd is an east-west roadway that is classified as
a 2-lane arterial on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. A sidewalk exists along the
north side of International Blvd. International Blvd has an eastbound left-turn lane and
an eastbound right-turn lane at the International Blvd/Timberline Rd intersection.

3.0 Proposed Development
The proposed project consists of an expansion of the existing Heritage Christian
Academy. See Table 1: Trip Generation and Figure 2: Site Plan.
4.0 Bicycle & Pedestrian Facilities (Multi-Modal LOS)
The proposed project will be designing and constructing a sidewalk along the north side
of Zurich Drive that will connect to the existing sidewalk at the Mexico Way/Zurich Drive
intersection. This will tie into the existing neighborhood’s sidewalk system to the
northwest of the project site. This sidewalk connection will provide adequate bicycle and
pedestrian connectivity per the LCUASS criteria. See Figure 2: Site Plan. As cities
continue to grow and become more urban, the emphasis upon all modes of
transportation becomes more important. The following addresses the pedestrian,
bicycle, and transit facilities that will be available in the vicinity of the project site. The
residential area to the northwest was identified as a pedestrian destination within 1,320
feet of the project site. The LOS for the pedestrian LOS categories will be B or higher
with the proposed development for the measured categories. The residential area to the
northwest was also identified as a bicycle destination. The LOS for bicycle connectivity
is B. An existing transit stop (Bus Stop ID: 1600) exists at Timberline/Donella
approximately 850’ south of the Timberline/International intersection. Due to the
proposed use, transit use is anticipated to be nominal for the project site. Looking at
long-term pedestrian and bicycle (ped/bike) needs for the area in the future, the
intersection of Timberline/International will likely need more ped/bike connectivity in the
future. Additionally, a long-term secondary point of ped/bike access for the existing
neighborhood to the west will likely be needed. It is recommended that the City work
with future development and capital projects to provide these ped/bike connections.
4.1 Trip Generation
Site generated traffic estimates are determined through a process known as trip
generation. Rates and equations are applied to the proposed land use to estimate traffic
generated by the development during a specific time interval. The acknowledged source
for trip generation rates is the Trip Generation Manual published by the Institute of
ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT
Packet Pg. 33
HCA Expansion TIS -Page 8
Transportation Engineers (ITE). ITE has established trip generation rates in nationwide
studies of similar land uses. For this study, KE used the ITE 11th Edition Trip Generation
Manual average trip rates. Since traffic on the adjacent streets and intersections is
highest during the weekday peak hours, this study analyzed the weekday peak hour
traffic. Full build-out of the project site is anticipated to generate an additional total of
approximately 893 daily weekday trips, 284 AM total peak hour trips, and 191 School PM
total peak hour trips. See Table 1: Trip Generation.
4.2 Trip Distribution
Distribution of site traffic on the street system was based on the area street system
characteristics, existing traffic patterns and volumes, anticipated surrounding
development areas, and the proposed access system for the project. The directional
distribution of traffic is a means to quantify the percentage of site generated traffic that
approaches the site from a given direction and departs the site back to the original
source. Figure 6 illustrates the trip distribution used for the project’s analysis.
4.3 Traffic Assignment
Traffic assignment was obtained by applying the trip distributions to the estimated trip
generation of the development. Figure 7 shows the site generated peak hour traffic
assignment.
4.4 Short Range and Long Range Total Peak Hour Traffic
Site generated peak hour traffic volumes were added to the background traffic volumes
to represent the estimated traffic conditions for the short range 2025 horizon and long
range 2045 horizon. The background (2025) and short range (2025) total traffic volumes
are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 8 respectively. The long range background (2045) and
long range (2045) total traffic volumes are shown in Figures 5 and 9. The traffic analysis
in this study includes the traffic generated from the proposed development plus the
increase in background traffic of 2% per year per the growth projections from the
NFRMPO (North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization).

5.0 Traffic Operation Analysis
KE’s analysis of traffic operations in the site vicinity was conducted to determine the capacity at
the identified intersection. The acknowledged source for determining overall capacity is the
Highway Capacity Manual.
5.1 Analysis Methodology
Capacity analysis results are listed in terms of level of service (LOS). LOS is a qualitative term
describing operating conditions a driver will experience while traveling on a particular street or
highway during a specific time interval. LOS ranges from an A (very little delay) to an F (long
delays). A description of the level of service (LOS) for signalized and unsignalized intersections
from the Highway Capacity Manual are provided in Appendix E.
5.2 Intersection Operational Analysis
Operational analysis was performed for the short range 2025 horizon and the long range 2045
horizon. The calculations for this analysis are provided in Appendix E. Using the short range
total traffic volumes, the project is projected to operate acceptably with all studied intersections
and access points meeting LCUASS LOS criteria. See Table 4: 2025 Short Range Total Peak
Hour Operation.
5.3 Stacking Length for Parent Drop-off
The main drop-off/pick-up area is at the western portion of the site east of Mexico Way. Full
build-out student enrollment is approximately 600 students. To be conservative, 600 vehicles
were used in the queuing length (stacking length) calculation. Using an average 1-minute drop-
off time and an average vehicle length of 26’, the total required on-site stacking length will be
approximately 260’ (10 vehicles). The parent drop-off area is adequately designed to handle
this stacking length onsite. This is conservative considering that some students will be walking
to school and some parents may carpool. It is important to note that at the beginning of the
school year parents may take more time when dropping off the students and the average drop-
off time may exceed 1 minute. However, it is anticipated that the student drop-off time will
reduce after the first couple weeks of school when the parents and students have developed a
more efficient routine.

5.4 Internal Drop-off / Pick-up Area Circulation
The internal drop-off/pick-up area is at the western portion of the site east of Mexico Way. This
area is designed appropriately to handle the school’s drop-off/pick-up circulation. The internal
drop-off/pick-up area is designed adequately to handle adequate vehicle stacking length onsite.
One-way traffic circulation is recommended for the parent drop-off area within the parking area
for efficient traffic circulation. Additionally, it is recommended that the school implement trained
staff and/or trained volunteers (wearing proper PPE) to help direct traffic during the peak drop-
off/pick-up times.

5.5 MUTCD Signal Warrants
The justification for the installation of a traffic signal at an intersection is based upon the
warrants set forth in Chapter 4 in the MUTCD. The decision to install a traffic signal should not
be based solely upon the warrants, since the installation of traffic signals may increase certain
types of crashes. Delay, congestion, approach conditions, driver expectations, and land use
must also be evaluated.
The installation of a traffic control signal should be considered if one or more of the following
traffic signal warrants are met:
• Warrant 1: Eight-Hour Vehicular Volume
• Warrant 2: Four-Hour Vehicular Volume
• Warrant 3: Peak Hour
• Warrant 4: Pedestrian Volume
• Warrant 5: School Crossing
• Warrant 6: Coordinated Signal System
• Warrant 7: Crash Experience
• Warrant 8: Roadway Network
• Warrant 9: Intersection Near a Grade Crossing
The satisfaction of a traffic signal warrant or warrants shall not in itself require the installation of
a traffic control signal. For this analysis, KE conducted the peak hour signal warrant as the
peak hour warrant is the easiest signal warrant that could be met at a stop-control intersection
and therefore the most conservative approach. The peak hour traffic signal warrant is not
projected to be met at the Timberline Rd/International Blvd intersection for the 2025
Short Range Total Peak Hour scenario. See below figures for more information.

6.0 Findings
Based upon the analysis in this study, the proposed Heritage Christian Academy expansion
project located at 2506 Zurich Drive in Fort Collins, CO demonstrates compliance with the
standards in the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) for traffic at the time
of development.
The findings of the TIS are summarized below:
Full build-out of the proposed project is anticipated to generate an additional total of
approximately 893 daily weekday trips, 284 AM total peak hour trips, and 191 School PM
total peak hour trips.
The project complies with the Levels of Service (LOS) requirements for traffic, the City of
Fort Collins Transportation Plan, and the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards
(LCUASS).
The study intersections will operate acceptably and comply with the intersection levels of
service (LOS) requirements in the LCUASS with the development of the project and
background traffic in the 2025 Short Range Total future.
The peak hour traffic signal warrant is not projected to be met at the Timberline
Rd/International Blvd intersection for the 2025 Short Range Total Peak Hour scenario
Due to the increase in traffic volumes on Timberline Road, the traffic model results show
the potential for unacceptable LOS for the year 2045 long range total future at the
Timberline Rd/International Blvd intersection. A traffic signal or roundabout intersection
improvement project should be considered by City as a possible long range regional
improvement in the future.
The existing street improvements are sufficient to accommodate the proposed project’s
traffic in accordance with the LCUASS criteria.

I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. LOCATION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Heritage Christian Academy site (referred herein as “the site”) exists as a portion of the Industrial Business Park
International PUD, located in the northwest and southwest quarters of Section 8, T7N, R68W of the 6th P.M., City of Fort
Collins, Larimer County, Colorado. The entirety of the property, consisting of approximately 20.1-acres, is located west of
South Timberline Road and east of Mexico Way. The east side of the school property currently exists as a school building with
adjacent parking and athletic field; the west side exists in an overlot graded condition. The future Heritage Christian Academy
site improvements are limited to 13.6-acres of disturbed area west and southwest of the existing school facility.
Dry Creek, the ultimate discharge location for stormwater within the Industrial Business Park International PUD, is located
south of the development. The existing site improvements (i.e., infrastructure east of Munich Way) drain stormwater
primarily to the south by way of surface drainage to drainage swales constructed along International Blvd. Future
improvements (i.e., west of Munich Way) are intended to drain to an existing detention pond (i.e., Pond B) constructed in
2020. Pond B is constructed to release stormwater to an existing drainage swale system in International Blvd and ultimately
to Dry Creek.
Below is an aerial map depicting the vicinity of the site. Dry Creek exists to the south, and the Timbervine Subdivision borders
the site to the north. Other nearby subdivisions are represented below.
FIGURE 1: SITE VICINITY MAP
The site improvements will ultimately include the construction of new education and athletic facilities with associated
landscaping, walks, and parking lots. This drainage report presents the overall drainage plan for the development. In general,
this report serves to provide an analysis of the drainage impacts associated with the development of site as it relates to
existing and future drainage facilities on-site. The project is currently in the ODP stage; additional design information will be
provided with further site design (i.e., PDP and FDP applications).

B. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The property east of Munich Way exists in a fully developed condition. The school facility east of the Munich Way exists with
concrete and asphalt pavement, sidewalks, rooftop, and landscaping. In its existing school facility and associated impervious
areas drain stormwater by means of sheet flow, concrete pans, curb and gutter. The existing site ultimately drains off-site to
drainage swales along International Blvd.
Below are summaries of key components of the school facility in its existing conditions.
Land Use - The site’s current land use is commercial/industrial.
Ground Cover - The site exists as a school development with concrete and asphalt pavement, sidewalk, rooftop, and
surrounding grass landscaping. The majority of landscaping is specific to a maintained athletic field.
Existing Topography – The site slopes in a multitude of directions away from the existing on-site building; however,
runoff ultimately drains south down Zurich Drive to a system of drainage swales along International Blvd.
Grades – In general, the existing site is sloped to the east and south at approximately 0.5% to 1.0%.
Soil Type - The USDA’s Web Soil Survey shows that the eastern portion of the property consists of both “Type B” and
“Type C” soils, namely Flouvaquents (nearly level) and Loveland Clay Loam (0% to 1% slopes).
Utilities – The following dry utility lines run along the south side of the site: gas, electric, fiber optic. Water mains
and sanitary sewer are also present to the south of the school facility in Zurich Drive.
Drainage Features and Storm Sewer – The eastern portion of the campus is adjacent to the Lake Canal - stormwater
does not appear to be conveyed to this canal. A series of storm sewer and drainage swales exist at the downstream
end of the business park along International Blvd – this infrastructure conveys the eastern portion of the Industrial
Business Park International PUD. A 30” outfall exists at the downstream end of the mentioned drainage features.
Refer to the Drainage Plan for visual context.
The property west of Munich Way exists in a partially developed, overlot-graded condition. Apart from the completion of
connecting roadways and underground utilities to support the Industrial Business Park International PUD, the remainder of
the private land remains largely undeveloped. The existing land is currently graded to drain southerly to an existing detention
pond, namely Pond B.
Below are summaries of key components of the western side in its existing conditions.
Land Use - The site’s current land use is commercial/industrial.
Ground Cover - The site exists in an overlot grading condition.
Existing Topography – The site generally slopes to the south to an existing detention pond (Pond B).
Grades – In general, the western portion of the site is sloped the south at approximately 0.5% to 2.0%.
Soil Type - The USDA’s Web Soil Survey shows that the eastern portion of the property consists of both “Type B” and
“Type C” soils, namely Flouvaquents (nearly level), Loveland Clay Loam (0% to 1% slopes), and Table Mountain Loam
(0% to 1% slopes). The on-site soils provide moderate infiltration and are suitable for development.
Utilities – The following dry utility lines run along the perimeter of the site: gas, electric, cable TV, fiber optic. Water
mains and sanitary sewer are also present in the recently constructed roadways to support the Industrial Business
Park International PUD.
Drainage Features and Storm Sewer – A detention pond (Pond B) exists on-site to support the development of the
school site. This detention pond exists with an outlet structure and 18” outfall pipe that drains to an existing drainage
swale in International Blvd south of the project site (refer to Drainage Plan for visual context). In addition to the
controlled release from Pond B, stormwater within the Industrial Business Park International PUD drains to the
mentioned drainage swale and ultimately to a 30” RCP outfall.

C. FLOODPLAINS
The existing site is in the vicinity of the Dry
Creek Floodplain, which is a FEMA-
designated 100-year floodplain and
floodway. The existing site, being outside
the bounds of the Dry Creek FEMA
floodplain, is located in an area with minimal
flood risk. The FEMA FIRM Panel # is
08069C0983H effective 5/2/2012. The
current FEMA FIRM Map is included in the
appendices.
FIGURE 2: FLOODPLAIN MAP
II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. MAJOR BASIN DESCRIPTION
The existing site is located within the Dry Creek drainage basin. The site drains downstream within the Dry Creek Basin and is
ultimately conveyed to the Cache La Poudre River. No known master planning improvements are associated with or adjacent
to the site.
B. SUB-BASIN DESCRIPTION
A portion of the school property exists within the Industrial Business Park International PUD plans completed by Lamp
Rynearson & Associates. The March 2018 Final Drainage Report, including the associated Drainage Plan, is provided in the
appendices. The project area exists within Basins B1, B2, and B3 of the drainage design. These basins are designed to convey
stormwater to the existing, downstream Pond B within Basin B1. Characteristics of these planned basins are further described
under this cover.
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. REGULATIONS
The design criteria for this study are directly and primarily from the City of Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual
(referred to herein as FCSCM). Mile High Flood District Criteria Manuals Volumes 2, and 3 (referred to herein as MHFD) are
also referred to with the drainage design.
B. DIRECTLY CONNECTED IMPERVIOUS AREA (DCIA)
The “Four Step Process” that is recommended with the FCSCM in selecting structural BMPs for redeveloping urban areas.
The following portions of this summary describe each step and how it has been utilized for this project:
Step 1 – Employ Runoff Reduction Practices
The objective of this step is to reduce runoff peaks and volumes and to employ the technique of “minimizing directly
connected impervious areas” (MDCIA). This project accomplishes this by:

Routing the roof and pavement flows through bioretention facilities and vegetated buffers to increase the time of
concentration, promote infiltration and provide water quality.
Step 2 – Provide Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV)
The objective of providing WQCV is to reduce the sediment load and other pollutants that exit the site. For this project
WQCV is provided within the existing water quality and detention facility. Low Impact Development (LID) is also to be
provided with site improvements.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways
The site is upstream of Dry Creek and the use of LID will help slow runoff from the site and benefit the stabilization of the
Dry Creek drainageway. In addition, this project will pay stormwater development and stormwater utility fees which the
City uses, in part, to maintain the stability of the City drainageway systems.
Step 4 – Consider Need for Site Specific and Source Control BMPs
Site specific and source control BMPs are generally considered for large industrial and commercial sites. The
redevelopment of the existing site will include multiple site-specific and source controls, including dedicated maintenance
personnel providing landscape maintenance and snow and ice management. Other site-specific and source controls are to
be better known and addressed with future PDP and FDP submittals.
C. HYDROLOGICAL CRITERIA
City of Fort Collins Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves, provided by Figure RA-16 of the Fort Collins Stormwater
Criteria Manual, are utilized for all hydrologic computations related to the site in its existing/historic and future conditions.
Since this site is relatively small and does not have complex drainage basins, the peak flow rates for design points have been
calculated based on the Rational Method as described in the City of Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM) with
storm intensity correlating with the time of concentration for each sub-basin. This method was used to analyze the developed
runoff from the 2-year (minor) and the 100-year (major) storm events. The Rational Method is widely accepted for drainage
design involving small drainage areas (less than 20-acres) and short time of concentrations. Runoff coefficients are calculated
from a composite imperviousness based on surface type. The HCA site appears to have been assigned assumed future
impervious values with the March 2018 Final Drainage Report by way of Land Use (i.e., Light & Heavy Industrial), accounting
for impervious values ranging between 80% - 90%. Areas at the south end of the site, where detention area was accounted
for, had an assumed imperviousness of 40%. Similar assumptions found in the March 2018 Final Drainage Report are provided
with this ODP report as FCSCM provides similar impervious values for Commercial and Industrial land uses (80% - 90%).
Detailed, site-specific runoff coefficient calculations will be provided by way of surface type with PDP and FDP submittals as
the site layout develops.
D. HYDRAULIC CRITERIA
The developed site will convey runoff to existing design points via swales, concrete pans, and pipes. The City of Fort Collins
Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM) are referenced for all hydraulic calculations.
Drainage conveyance facility capacities ultimately proposed with the development project, including an extended detention
pond, shall be designed in accordance with criteria outlined primarily in the FCSCM or the Mile High Flood District’s Criteria
Manual where necessary and not covered by FCSCM.
E. MODIFICATIONS OF CRITERIA
The original design of the Industrial Business Park International PUD was completed under design standards per Larimer
County. With the annexation of the property in the City of Fort Collins, the constructed drainage system will be further
analyzed in relation to the FCSCM with the inclusion of Low Impact Development requirements. There are currently no
variance requests proposed with the future stormwater design of the site.

IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. GENERAL CONCEPT
Developed runoff will be designed to largely maintain planned drainage patterns. Existing conveyance methods include sheet
flow, concrete pans, curb and gutter, inlets, and storm sewer that ultimately drain south to Pond B for water quality treatment
and detention storage. Per City standards, water quality and low impact development (LID) will ultimately be proposed with
the project to mitigate the impervious areas that are being modified with the development.
B. SPECIFIC DETAILS
Hydrology
Site improvements intend to adhere to the drainage design established by the March 2018 Final Drainage Report and the
FCSCM. The entirety of the school property is to be annexed into the City of Fort Collins, however, the project site is limited
to approximately 14.57-acres related to the partially developed area of the industrial business park, namely drainage basins
B1, B2, and B3 of the March 2018 Final Drainage Report. The table below summarizes the hydrologic impact associated with
the site improvements relative to the planned conditions provided in the March 2018 Final Drainage Report. Refer to the
Drainage Plan, hydrology calculations, and references attached for additional information.
TABLE 1 - HYDROLOGIC SUMMARY
Project Area
Planned Proposed
Overall Area (acre) 14.6 15.3
% Imperviousness 72.0% 72.0% (1)
(1) The proposed imperviousness is assumed at 72% for ODP purposes;
hydrology and impervious calculations will be analyzed with future PDP
and FDP submittals as the site plan progresses.
A discrepancy in area between the planned basin area and proposed basin area is due to the physical area that drains to the
existing Pond B. Based on existing topography along Zurich Drive and the western side of the school facility, it appears that
more area exists within Basin B than originally assumed. This minor discrepancy is not an indictment on the March 2018 Final
Drainage Report and calculations, nor is the larger drainage area considered a concern, but this actuality will be further
evaluated with the overall site release on future PDP and FDP submittals.
On-site Basins
The following basins provide drainage delineations for the site in its improved condition. Refer to Appendix A for hydrology
computations and Appendix B for calculations related to Water Quality, Low Impact Development, and other hydraulic
features.
Basin B
Sub-drainage basins B1-B3 of the March 2018 Final Drainage Report represent areas where runoff is captured and conveyed
to Pond B. For purposes of this Overall Drainage Report, the mentioned basins are combined into one basin (i.e., Basin B).
This overall basin consists of roofs, concrete and asphalt paving, and landscaping. This basin will be sub-divided into several
basins with future submittals.

6 U24018_Drainage Report
Stormwater Quality
Stormwater quality is required to be provided for the new/planned impervious area on the site. The existing Pond B was
designed with 0.48 acre-ft of volume for extended detention purposes – this volume was calculated per MHFD computations
assuming a composite imperviousness of 72.0% and an additional 20% factor for additional capacity for ODP purposes. Below
is a minimum required WQCV calculation per the FCSCM.
WQCV = a(0.91i3 – 1.19i2 + 0.78i)
WQCV = 1.0 x (0.91(0.72)3 – 1.19(0.72)2 + 0.78(0.72))
WQCV = 0.28
V = (WQCV12) x A x 1.2
V = (0.2812) x 15.3 x 1.2
V = 0.44 acre-ft
The original WQCV design of Pond appears to be adequate for City of Fort Collins standards; however, based on a recent
topographic survey, the constructed pond appears to exist with insufficient volume per the March 2018 Final Drainage Report.
The current WQCV capacity is 0.25 acre-ft. To meet requirements per City of Fort Collins, one of the following options, or
perhaps a combination of the following options, will need to be considered with the development of the site:
1) Replace/reconstruct the outlet structure with additional water quality depth.
2) Re-grade the existing pond to generate additional volume.
3) Reduce the required standard WQCV to 50% by implementing LID methods to treat 50% of the site.
4) Reduce the required standard WQCV to 25% by implementing LID methods to treat 75% of the site.
Regarding WQCV and LID, the intention of this ODP report is to affirm adherence to FCSCM. The provided options will be
addressed and selected with future PDP and FDP submittals.
Low Impact Development (LID)
In December of 2015, Fort Collins City Council adopted the revised Low Impact Development (LID) policy and criteria which
requires developments within City limits to meet certain enhanced stormwater treatment requirements in addition to more
standard treatment techniques. The proposed development will be required to meet the newly adopted LID criteria which
requires the following:
- Treat no less than 75% of any newly added impervious area using one or a combination of LID techniques.
- Treat no less than 50% of any newly added impervious area using one or a combination of LID techniques when at
least 25% of any newly added pavement is provided with permeable pavement.
Detention
Detention is required to be provided for the new/planned impervious area on the site. The existing Pond B was designed
with 3.3 acre-ft of required 100-year detention volume; the pond was constructed with a capacity of 4.7 acre-ft. The existing
Pond B was designed assuming a composite imperviousness of 72.0% utilizing the Modified FAA Method. The 100-year release
rate (2.91-cfs) was designed in accordance with criteria established for development within the Dry Creek Basin (i.e., 0.20
cfs/acre) and the area (14.57-acres) assumed with the March 2018 Final Drainage Report.
The nature of the existing detention pond and outlet structure are recognized as design constraints for the school site
improvements; however, modifications to the outlet structure orifice plate may be necessary for 100-year release purposes.
The existing Pond B was designed to detain 14.57-acres of developed area, though it appears that additional developed land
does drain to Pond B. An additional volume of 0.58 acre-ft is anticipated from what was originally assumed (3.3-acre-ft).
Despite this modification to the design of Pond B, the existing pond was constructed with extra capacity up to 4.70 acre-ft.
Therefore, provided potential modifications to the 100-year orifice plate, the existing Pond B was sufficiently sized to meet
required detention volume requirements per the FCSCM. On the following page is a 100-year detention calculation per the
FCSCM at a duration of 120-minutes. Refer to Appendix A and Appendix B for new calculations per FCSCM.

To right is a summary of design elements related
to existing Pond B.
Emergency Spillway
The existing Pond B was designed with a 68-ft long weir, 6-inches in depth, equipped to convey 76.47-cfs. Provided City of
Fort Collins runoff coefficient calculations, initial runoff computations provided under this ODP Report indicate that the
required 100-year release through the spillway may increase from what was originally calculated in the March 2018 Final
Drainage Report. In the event that a higher total runoff value is conveyed to the existing Pond B, the emergency weir may
require reconstruction. The reconstruction of the emergency spillway may also be necessary based on other design elements
with an improved site. The sufficiency of the previously designed and constructed emergency spillway will be verified with
future PDP and FDP submittals.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
In order for physical stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be effective, proper maintenance is essential.
Maintenance includes both routinely scheduled activities, as well as non-routine repairs that may be required after large
storms, or as a result of other unforeseen problems. Standard Operating Procedures should clearly identify BMP maintenance
responsibility. BMP maintenance is typically the responsibility of the entity owning the BMP.
Identifying who is responsible for maintenance of BMPs and ensuring that an adequate budget is allocated for maintenance
is critical to the long-term success of BMPs. Maintenance responsibility may be assigned either publicly or privately. For this
project, the privately owned BMPs including Pond B, grass swales, and any installed LID features, are to be maintained by the
property owner.
Storm Sewer
Multiple storm sewers and roof drains will be designed with future site improvements. All storm sewers will be private and
are typically sized to accommodate the flows from the 100-year storm event. Hydraulic computations of these systems will
be provided in Appendix B with future PDP and FDP submittals.
Inlets
Multiple inlets will be designed with future site improvements. All proposed storm sewers will be private and are typically
sized to accommodate the flows from the 100-year storm event. Hydraulic computations of these systems will be provided
in Appendix B with future PDP & FDP submittals.

V. EROSION CONTROL
Erosion control, both temporary and permanent, is a vital part of any development project. For this project, the site
disturbance is greater than 1 acre; therefore, a CDPHE Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) will be required.
Comprehensive erosion control measures are included with the site improvements. Refer to the Utility Plans for additional
information. At a minimum, the following temporary BMP’s will be installed and maintained to control on-site erosion and
prevent sediment from traveling off-site during construction:
Silt Fence – a woven synthetic fabric that filters runoff. The silt fence is a temporary barrier that is placed at the base
of a disturbed area.
Vehicle Tracking Control – a stabilized stone pad located at points of ingress and egress on a construction site. The
stone pad is designed to reduce the amount of mud transported onto public roads by construction traffic.
Inlet Protection – acts as a sediment filter. It is a temporary BMP and requires proper installation and maintenance
to ensure their performance.
Straw Wattles – wattles act as a sediment filter in swales around inlets. They are a temporary BMP and require
proper installation and maintenance to ensure their performance.
The contractor shall store all construction materials and equipment and shall provide maintenance and fueling of equipment
in confined areas on-site from which runoff will be contained and filtered. Temporary Best Management Practices (BMP’s)
will be inspected by the contractor at a minimum of once every two weeks and after each significant storm event.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
A. COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS
Storm drainage calculations have followed the guidelines provided primarily by the City of Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria
Manual. Mile High Flood District Criteria Manuals Volumes 1, 2 and 3, and the March 2018 Final Drainage Report are also
adhered to as necessary where the FCSCM does not cover.
B. DRAINAGE CONCEPT
To meet City of Fort Collins stormwater criteria, the existing drainage system may require modifications to Pond B. The overall
size and capacity of Pond B was designed and constructed with additional capacity necessary to meet City of Fort Collins
requirements; however, several design features related to both water quality and detention will require verification with
future improvements.
C. STORMWATER QUALITY
Multiple long-term stormwater quality measures will be necessary on-site to provide treatment of stormwater prior to it
being discharged from the site. For this site this includes extended detention and will ultimately include LID techniques
throughout the site.

Technical Memo
PO Box 272150
Fort Collins, CO 80527
To: City of Fort Collins, Planning, Development, and Transportation, Environmental Department
From: Cedar Creek Associates, Inc.
Date: September 3, 2024
Subject: Heritage Christian School - Ecological Characterization Study
This Ecological Characterization Study (ECS) Memo is submitted to address City of Fort Collins
Land Use Code (Section 3.4.1) requirements to identify habitats and natural resource areas on or
within close proximity of proposed developments. The Project Area is approximately 18.4 acres,
comprised of 9 parcels, and is situated north of International Boulevard and west of Munich Way
(Figure 1). Ecological characteristics were evaluated on May 31, 2024 by Cedar Creek’s Principal
Ecologist, Mr. Jesse Dillon.
A data review was conducted to gather information and assist in the evaluation of potential natural
biological resources within the property. The data review entailed an evaluation of online resources
and publications to determine the presence or potential occurrence of important natural and
biological resources. This data review included:
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Federally Listed and Proposed Endangered,
Threatened, and Candidate Species and Critical Habitat as identified by the USFWS
Information, Planning, and Conservation System (IPaC) Official Species List and Critical
Habitat Mapper;
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA)
protected species as identified on the IPAC Trust Resources Report;
Colorado's Conservation Data Explorer (CODEX);
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Threatened and Endangered Species List;
City’s Natural Areas Species of Concern list (Restoration Plan 2016-2025, 2016);
The City’s Land Use Code (Article 3, Section 3.4.1);
The City’s Natural Habitat and Features Inventory Map (2000);
The Colorado Wetland Inventory (CWI);
USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI); and
US Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey.
The following provides a summary of information required by Fort Collins Land Use Code under
3.4.1 (D) (1) items (a) through (k).

ECOLOGICAL STUDY CHARACTERIZATION CHECKLIST
(a & j – General Ecological Function and Wildlife Use) The majority of the property is
disturbed as part of the surrounding development. However, there are native grass remnants and
young volunteer trees within the stormwater channels and detention. The disturbed areas are
dominated by nuisance and noxious weeds and general ruderal vegetation. Overall, the site offers
limited ecological function outside of the volunteer trees in the channels and detention which could
offer some isolated structure and cover for urban adapted wildlife and the native grasses scattered
throughout the Project Area which offer some forage opportunities.
Attached photos provide representative views of the Project Site.
Overall, wildlife use of the Project Area likely focuses on the different naturalized features associated
with Stormwater Control. The Stormwater Wetlands and Lake Canal (offsite features) provide the
best benefit to urban adapted wildlife. The Stormwater Wetlands were dominated by cattails,
willows, and cottonwoods.
(b & f – Wetland and Water Delineation) The top of bank of the Lake Canal and Stormwater
Wetlands were delineated and are presented on Figure 2.
(c – Prominent Views) The project area does not provide any significant or unobstructed views
of natural areas or other important visual features.
(d – Native Vegetation Summary) As indicated under (a & j) the project area does not support
a significant population of native vegetation, but some was present. The native grasses observed
were western wheatgrass (Pascopyrum smithii), green needlegrass (Nassela viridula), and big
bluestem (Andropgon gerardii). A single individual of showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) was
found on the north border of the property, along Zurich Drive (see attached photo).
(e – Non-native Vegetation Summary) Portions of the site (especially disturbed portions)
exhibit significant composition from nuisance and noxious weeds. The nuisance weeds observed on
site were primarily burning bush (Kochia scoparia), prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola), and Russian
Thistle (Salsola tragus). The noxious weeds observed on site were Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense
[List B]), Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia esula [List B]), field bindweed (Convolvulus arvense [List C]),
and cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum [List C]). Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia [List B]) and salt
cedar (Tamarix chinensis [List B]) were observed in low lying stormwater channels and detention
areas (Figure 2). Smooth brome (Bromus inermis) and intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyron
intermedium) were also found throughout the site.
(g – Sensitive Species Habitat) There are no sensitive species habitats located in the Project
Area or Study Area. The attached CODEX report indicates that documented occurrences of protected
species have occurred within 1 mile of the Project Area. It identifies a bald eagle nest within a mile
of the Project Area, but it’s buffer is not displayed in close proximity to the site on the High Priority
Habitat database.
(h – Special Habitat Features) According to the High Priority Habitat dataset and field
observations, there are no special habitat features, within close proximity to the Project Area.
(i – Wildlife Movement Corridors) The Lake Canal provides a wildlife corridor for urban adapted
wildlife to move between habitat features in this area of Fort Collins.
(k – Timing Issues) Although the trees in the stormwater channels are small, it still offers an
opportunity for songbird nesting. Therefore, prior to trees being removed from the site during
nesting season (February 1 – July 31), a qualified wildlife biologist should conduct a survey to ensure
there are no active nests.
ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 6
Packet Pg. 230
(l – Proposed Mitigation) In accordance with Section 3.4 of the land use code, the following
buffer shall apply:
Lake Canal: Lake Canal serves as a wildlife corridor, which warrants a 50-foot buffer to
create a Natural Habitat Buffer Zone.
Offsite Stormwater Wetlands: The offsite stormwater wetlands are greater than 1/3 without
significant use by waterfowl and/or shorebirds, which warrants a 100-foot buffer to create
a Natural Habitat Buffer Zone. However, the privacy fence and roads limit the value of
Natural Habitat Buffer Zone around these features, so alternative mitigation approaches
should be considered, such as creating significant habitat uplift within designed stormwater
control features for the site. Therefore, the buffer from these features should not be
extended on to the Project Area.
The existing stormwater channels on the project area are not considered natural features warranting
Natural Habitat Buffer Zone. These channels have provided an opportunity for cottonwoods, willows,
Russian olives, and salt cedar to establish but have not developed in a naturalized habitat feature.
Noxious weed should be controlled with herbicide prior to implementing site grading.

Agenda
1.Purpose of the Meeting and Development Review Process – NDL and Planner
Neighborhood Development Liaison Em Myler introduced the purpose of the meeting and how it fits
into the process for prospective development in the City Notes. The City of Fort Collins knows that
development can have a meaningful impact on neighbors who live, work and play nearby. Because
of this, when someone wants to build something new in the city, we often require a neighborhood
meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to give the public an opportunity to:
•Learn about the project
•Ask questions about the project
•Share their feedback on the project
Meeting discussion is intended to be considered by the development team as they decide whether
and how to formulate an actual application for submittal to the City for review. The notes and
recordings of neighborhood meetings are also provided to the decision maker at the end of the
Development Review process.
2.Proposal Overview - Applicant
The applicant presented their plans for the proposal.

3. Questions (Q), Responses (R), and Comments (C) - Responses are by the applicant unless
otherwise noted
Q: What is the current student population, and the projected population after the new campus is built?
A: We have around 242 students today. Our projections for this site several years from now is
probably around 600 students.
Q: Are you planning to keep this building as part of the campus as well?
A: Yes, the vision is to turn this building into secondary uses. We’d use the gym as a practice gym.
Q: Are there plans to construct another road outlet from these neighborhoods onto Timberline?
A: (Mounce) The City’s Master Street Plan shows that International Drive could continue Northwest
and around the air park, giving an access point to the West for these neighborhoods. That may be
dependent on development in the area. In the East Mulberry Plan, there is the possibility of extending
Air Park Drive up toward International as well.
Q: Is adding a second egress a requirement for the school to be in this area?
A: (Mounce) We often require multiple access points. We also know that in this area in particular with
the railroad access can get choppy. In this case, as with all the development nearby here,
International is the only access available.
Q: Are there plans for traffic management at International and Timberline?
A: (Mounce) We will look at that during the review of each phase of this project. Each one will need to
submit a traffic impact study and depending on the results of those, we may look at something at that
intersection.
A: (Gilchrist) That is an arterial intersection and will likely have a signal once it has the number of cars
going through it to warrant one. Our capital improvements group also has the area in mind to make
some improvements.
Q: The annexation doesn’t appear to include all of International Drive. How would maintenance for
that road look?
A: (Buckingham) A fair amount of International is already annexed, including the portion next to this
property. There are also some gaps. We have an agreement with Larimer County about how to annex
each piece of the street and bring it up to City standards. We’ll keep looking at that throughout the
phases of this project and will have a plan for the long-term maintenance of those streets.
Q: What about trails and bike lanes?
A: (Mounce) There are a few trails nearby and the City likes to take any opportunity to connect to
existing trails when development happens. If development is along a main road we can also ask them
to do improvements to their frontage as well, such as adding bike lanes.
Q: Can you speak to the specific connection point at International and Timberline? Is it already
annexed and are there additional safety components that could be put in sooner than a light being
installed, such as demarcations between eastbound and westbound traffic. I frequently see cars
turning across the non-existent median and have almost been struck with my child. And that’s at our
current level of use.
A: (Gilchrist) The small area of the intersection was annexed when Ziggy’s Coffee was built. The area
to the east and south of it will be annexed at some point. We don’t have a lot of improvements
planned at this time, which is why it’s been a focus for our capital improvements group. We’re looking
for opportunities to make improvements and the traffic study from this project will help us out a lot.
We don’t know when that will happen, but we understand the existing concerns.
ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7
Packet Pg. 238
N e i g h b o r h o o d M e e t i n g N o t e s - P a g e | 3
A: (Mounce) This project only needs to annex their land into the city, but we will be looking at
annexing other areas involuntarily. We will need to make sure we can adequately service the areas.
Ultimately, City Council will make that decision but staff is considering all the details.
Q: Will there be lights for the athletic fields installed and will there be regulations for hours of use. I
am worried and wondering about night games and light spillage.
A: We don’t know about lights yet, but there are regulations to limit light pollution if we do put them in.
As we get into the project development plans, we’ll have more details. We appreciate hearing that
concern.
Q: I believe previous traffic studies were completed in the summer when Heritage was not in session,
can we ask for a study while school is in session?
A: (Gilchrist) The traffic study hasn’t been scoped yet, and I will be doing that. We will want to include
the traffic from the school so we will ask for the study to be completed during school months and pick
up and drop off times.
C: 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. are the peaks for this area.
Q: Will the primary entrance for the school me on Mexico way?
A: We don’t know quite yet. Once we work start working on the PDP we’ll be able to determine where
the entrances will be. Right now, we have multiple entrances shown on the map. They don’t
necessarily indicate where the entrances will be since we won’t be separating our each of the current
lots with their own access but designing something more cohesive across all the lots that need fewer
accesses.
Q: Is Zurich going to remain public?
A: Yes, all the roads will remain in place and public.
Q: If everything worked perfectly, what is your anticipated timeline for approval and construction?
A: Definitely a few months to finish the annexation process. The Overall Development Plan is
relatively simple so that could take a few months as well. After that is done, they will come back for
Project Development Plans which take longer to review and end with a public hearing. So the timeline
to construction would probably be more than a year.
Q: Are the annexation and ODP able to happen simultaneously?
A: (Mounce) We will probably review them concurrently, but the City can’t approve the ODP until the
site is in our boundaries.
Q: Will the project include additional egress from the area? At this point the only way in or out is via
International Drive. During school the traffic can increase travel time significantly.
A: (Mounce) On the City’s Master Street Plan there is a planned extension of International Drive to
the air park in the west. That’s a long-term plan as land develops in the area.
Q: Is there no requirement to have a second point of egress for a school in case of emergency?
A: (Mounce) not that I am aware of. At this point, there is only one access point available and no
suitable land to build another.
Q: Is there a possibility the City considers annexing International aligned with this project?
A: (Mounce) The portion of International just south of the project is already in city limits. The section
to the east of the project is not. We know that it’s a weird area and we’ll be discussing the pros and
cons of unifying the entire road in our limits. Ultimately, City Council will make that decision after this
project’s annexation is completed.

Packet Pg. 239
N e i g h b o r h o o d M e e t i n g N o t e s - P a g e | 4
Q: You mentioned plans for Lincoln and Vine Drive somewhat soon?
A: (Mounce) Yes, the goal is to signalize that intersection toward the end of this year or early next
year.
Q: My problem really relates to the traffic impacts. I know that the extension of International to the
west is contingent on future development and long-term. But getting out of this neighborhood,
especially during school pick up and drop off is a huge headache. I want to push on that issue a bit.
At any point, could excess traffic prevent this project from moving forward? It would be a problem for
any development in the area. That’s my big concern. It is not a sustainable approach to development
without adding connections to the area.
A: (Gilchrist) With any development we require a traffic impact study that will consider existing traffic
and potential future traffic from the development. This development will be required to submit one,
and we will be considering the potential of adding a signal to International and Timberline. Significant
delays like that are typical for most schools, but before we say no to the development we will ask
them to try and mitigate the impacts. We can’t signalize every intersection in town, but this one is
already kind of planned for a signal.
Q: Are there any plans to add any other access points in the neighborhood?
A: (Gilchrist) Not at this point. The school doesn’t have right of way to build another access without
acquiring land from someone else. We can’t require them to purchase property. Poudre Fire Authority
will also weigh in on this. They are aware of the limitations in this area.
Q: For International and Timberline, what is the likelihood of a light vs. a roundabout? And since it is
in City limits, does the intersection meet our current code?
A: (Gilchrist) We’ll look at that. We’re pushing for roundabouts, but we are cautious about multi-lane
roundabouts. Knowing that there are some limitations on space, a traffic signal is more likely. Right
now, the intersection is meeting Larimer County standards. We’ll be working on lane alignment issues
when we add the signal.
C: The entrance to International is city limits, right? That spot sets the tone for the level of safety,
traffic flow and alternative modes that the City wants and it is very unsafe at this time. To have more
kids and traffic going through there it needs urgent attention.
A: We’ll take a look at it then.
Q: Can you speak to how the City evaluates the visual impact of this project? A previous development
project here blocked the views of people living in Timbervine and that must have been hard for them.
A: (Mounce) We don’t have a Code standard related to preserving mountain views. There are
requirements to protect natural features such as trees. Where views come in is in our compatibility
standards where we require new buildings need to be similar in height, color, mass etc. with the
existing neighborhood. We will review the project to these standards during the Project Development
Plan process, using public comment to guide us on where there may be important natural features to
preserve if possible.
C: The point I want to make is that this makes me optimistic that this parcel is being annexed, as the
City will apply their robust design standards. My main concern is traffic impacts and inconsistent
services.
Q: Can we get an update on the construction on Lincoln and Timberline? That construction could
impact traffic in this area as well.
A: (Buckingham) That project is about 30 percent designed, and there are some funding details yet to
be worked out. We aren’t quite sure when construction will start.

Good morning,
There is a development proposal for a lot in front of my neighborhood.

Date:Thursday, August 8, 2024 8:32:14 PM
Hello,
I recently saw a yellow development review sign with the number 786, located at the NE
corner of Mexico Way and International Blvd. I live in the Timbervine neighborhood just
north of the area.
Within the last couple of days, though, the sign is now lying on the ground and not visible.
I was looking into the information for Sign 786 earlier this week, however I couldn’t find
anything that matched exactly the number or the parcel on which the sign was placed. I found
some, what appear to be, older projects including an industrial development and a school
development.
I’m wondering if you can help me determine whether the sign is current and for what project it
is related to.
Thank you,
Nicholas Heimann

Great, thank you. I actually do now see this information now, thanks for your help.
Is it possible to have the sign replaced ASAP? I didn't notice this morning if it had gone back
up or not, and perhaps that's already taken care of.

Hello Nicholas,
Thank you very much for your email. Sign 786 is connected to a proposal from the Heritage
Christian Academy to annex a little over 13 acres of their property into the city and build a
new athletic facility and additional classrooms.
We have a neighborhood meeting scheduled for September 5th from 6-7:30 p.m. on this
project. If you are interested in learning more, we would love to see you there! I am hoping to
host the meeting at the school itself, as well as on zoom via this link:
https://fcgov.zoom.us/j/92641077351.
You can find information about development projects on this webpage:
https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/proposals. I recommend scrolling to the
"Development Proposals Under Review" table and using the search methods to find anything
we currently have in review at the City.

Wonderful, I will try to make the meeting for sure and understand that more information will
yield better understanding of the project.
Initially, I would offer that traffic flow and egress are major concerns for any development in
this area. Personally, I think I like the idea of annexation as it will mean the project adheres to
City design standards (the industrial building west, in unincorporated County land) is really
not what I think of as beautiful design. It's impacted a lot of our view shed negatively, too,
especially on the western end of the neighborhood (we used to have uninterrupted mountain
views from a trail in our neighborhood, but views from the western half of the neighborhood
are now obstructed and those homes look directly to the back of a warehouse which includes
large ventilation outlets that generate noise at least).
Moreover, traffic especially during the school year is very challenging. Even at present in the
morning hours (during school times) traffic can be so backed up that it's taken me 5-10
minutes just to get onto Timberline--summertime doesn't present the same challenges. This is
compounded by the fact that International Blvd. is our (Timbervine) and Dry Creek's only way
in or out. Furthermore, I worry about school traffic and traffic flows on International, Mexico
Way, and other streets, especially in the case of an emergency with egress in only one
direction. I also worry about being able to get home during pick up or drop off if traffic
accesses a new school development from Mexico Way.
Additionally, the absence of a traffic signal at International and Timberline exacerbates traffic
flow challenges. Making a northbound turn onto Timberline is very hard to do almost anytime
of day, and I imagine traffic access in any direction could become worse if a development
increased the number of people needing to access the area at a given time. In fact, I often
choose to take Mulberry or Lincoln rather than Vine, even though Vine more directly serves
destinations to the west, because of how much time is added, generally, trying to exit from
International towards Vine.
In summary, traffic flow and egress are two of my top concerns with any development in this
area. I'm optimistic that design standards if annexed will be more substantial compared to
Larimer County design standards, and I would advocate for a thorough review of the viewshed
impacts to any development especially for the Timbervine neighborhood.
Thank you and again appreciate your time,
Nicholas

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Sign 786
Hello,
I recently saw a yellow development review sign with the number 786, located at the NE
corner of Mexico Way and International Blvd. I live in the Timbervine neighborhood
just north of the area.
Within the last couple of days, though, the sign is now lying on the ground and not
visible.
I was looking into the information for Sign 786 earlier this week, however I couldn’t
find anything that matched exactly the number or the parcel on which the sign was
placed. I found some, what appear to be, older projects including an industrial
development and a school development.
I’m wondering if you can help me determine whether the sign is current and for what
project it is related to.
Thank you,

Date:Monday, September 9, 2024 12:06:24 PM
Hi Nolan,
Thanks for reaching out. Most of the surrounding roadways are currently in Larimer County, with the
exception of a portion of International Boulevard south of the project site and further to the west
and the Dry Creek neighborhood. If the annexation is approved, all of the adjoining street rights-of-
way would be annexed into the City, including Mexico Way, Munich Way and Zurich Drive from
Mexico Way to the edge of the school’s current building/property.
For the annexation itself, there’s no immediate impact to these roadways. If the streets were built or
improved to the City’s street standards then the City would take over full maintenance of these
roadways. If the streets do not meet the City’s standards then the City typically performs the same
level of maintenance that Larimer County provides. For instance, if the County is only providing crack
sealing or basic overlays, the City would perform a similar level of maintenance.
After annexation, if the school moves forward with any physical construction and there are further
development reviews, they may be required to improve the frontages along those streets, such as
adding tree lawns, sidewalks, etc. There are also likely to be discussions around options for street
maintenance and costs to bring some of these roadways up to City standards and what those
options would look like.
Thanks,

Subject:[EXTERNAL] Hybrid Neighborhood Meeting - International Blvd & Mexico Way
Date:Tuesday, September 17, 2024 3:38:13 PM
Dear Mr. Mounce
My name is Laurel Branstrator. My husband, John, and I are new homeowners in the
Timbervine Subdivision here on the northeast corner of Ft. Collins. We became
enamored of the Ft. Collins area as our daughter, Julia Branstrator, began graduate
school at CSU. In 2020, we purchased a house on Winnipeg Drive in the Dry Creek
subdivision in order to be closer to her. Over time, Julia and her husband Ryan have
purchased the Winnipeg house from us - we have now purchased a second house on
Stout street in the Timbervine subdivision right around the corner. We are very
pleased with these neighborhoods here off of International Blvd and both households
look forward to living here for many years.
It has recently come to our attention that a proposed annexation and
overall development plan for a private school off of International Blvd is under
consideration. We were unable to attend the September 5 'hybrid
planning/development' meeting. Consequently, we would like to express our opinion
about the proposal to you now.
We strongly DISAPPROVE of any measure that would allow Heritage Christian
School to annex the property and develop it for their purposes. Here are our
concerns:
Currently, there is only a single entrance/egress at the intersection of
International Blvd and Timberline for the combined use of Timbervine
residents, Dry Creek Residents, and the various nearby business
establishments. With the additional large subdivisions that are currently under
construction near the intersection of Vine and Timberline, it is already difficult
to turn out of our development onto the main road. It is particularly difficult
during morning rush hour when Heritage School parents are dropping their
children off in the morning or picking them up in the afternoon. The additional
traffic that will be generated by the school will be largely generated by families
who do not not live in one of these subdivisions.
This single traffic access point is already over utilized and has the potential to be
a constraint for emergency access to Timbervine and Dry Creek. Additional
traffic at that pinch point only serves to increase that risk.
As the proposal has been explained: 'future phased development of a private
school campus to include classroom, administrative, gymnasium space and an
outdoor track/sports field'. Currently, the school has some outside play areas -
in particular a soccer field. These spaces are currently fenced off and locked
with 'no trespassing' signs so that local residents, who are not members of the
church or attend the school, are unable to take advantage of the fields. Our
assumption is that as the school takes over an additional 13.6 acres for their own
use, local residents will be restricted from access to the proposed playgrounds or
ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 8
Packet Pg. 251
sports fields.
For the proposed track/sports field, we assume this means hosted sporting
events drawing crowds, noise and additional lighting.
We understand that this is an appealing location for growth. However, our suggestion
is that the land is reserved for a purpose that can be more ubiquitously utilized by the
nearby residents as this entire area continues to grow. Possibly a public school or an
extension of the library? Even small restaurants or additional small businesses that
can take advantage of the current zoning regulations would be preferable.
Thank you for your attention. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
or would like to discuss it further.
Kind Regards
Laurel Branstrator

Thank you for sending the notice of public hearing for the Heritage Annexation. My wife
(Sherri) and I had attended the initial informational meeting at the Heritage school several
months ago, and recognize that this is the step that occurs before the actual development
proposal review; we have no concerns, other than the traffic related ones we and others raised
at the earlier meeting.
We're contacting you to strongly recommend that notices also be sent to every resident of the
Dry Creek neighborhood which is adjacent to our Timbervine neighborhood. International
Blvd is the only means of egress from both neighborhoods, so they are impacted just as much
as those of us in Timbervine, and deserve to be aware of both the annexation and development
review processes so they can have a voice as well.
We realize that Dry Creek may technically be beyond the distance required for notification,
however, given the impact on those residents, we feel the spirit of the notification requirement,
if not the legal aspect, should be observed.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 24, 2025
TO: Chair Stackhouse and Planning & Zoning Commissioners
FROM: Ryan Mounce, City Planner
RE: Heritage Christian Academy Overall Development Plan Work Session Follow-up
The purpose of this memo is to provide additional information from staff and project applicants
in response to questions at the March 14, 2025, Work Session regarding the Heritage Christian
Academy Overall Development Plan #ODP240001.
What future land uses may be impacted by the school expansion due to local or state
buffering requirements?
The presence of the school as well as the proposed westward expansion could impact the
ability of several types of businesses to begin new operations based on either state and/or local
buffering requirements for certain land uses, including:
Alcohol Sales: 500-ft buffer requirement
Marijuana Cultivation & Retail Sales: 1,000-ft buffer requirement
Healing Centers*: 1,000-ft buffer requirement
Oil & Gas Operations: 2,000-ft buffer requirement
* Healing Centers are related to psychedelic mushrooms and psychedelic-assisted therapy
The Heritage Christian Academy has been in operation at their current location for 17 years and
these buffer requirements already impact the existing light industrial and employment
businesses south of the current school building as well as approximately half of the vacant land
west of the ODP project site using across Mexico Way using a 500-ft buffer from the edge of
their building’s parcel.
The expansion of the school would increase the size of these buffers, primarily to the
west/southwest primarily into properties north of the old Airpark runways along the Dry Creek
floodway and floodplain.
Approximately how many students currently walk or bike to school; how does this relate
to the Traffic Impact Study analysis?
The project applicants have provided the following response to this question:
As neither the existing nor future school facilities will be a typical ‘neighborhood’ school, few
students are likely to walk or bike to the school. As such, the traffic impact study is based on
ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 10
Packet Pg. 263
this assumption and the parent drop-off lanes will ultimately be designed accordingly. The
statement within the TIS (page 18) is referring to the future school development. However, in
answering the question asked, no students currently walk/bike to the existing school facilities on
Zurich Drive but in years past there have been some students that either walk or bike to the
school.
Would the school consider installing plantings or other buffering elements in advance of
the school expansion to ‘pre-buffer’ with adjacent light industrial and employment uses?
The project applicants have provided the following response to this question:
The school has been in this location for many years without any significant issues with our
Industrial use neighbors. However, as the school expands, we agree that appropriate buffering
will be required, and we intend to meet these requirements. However, we would prefer to locate
landscape buffers once we have developed more information on the locations of buildings,
student areas, ballfields, etc. so they can be designed and located in the most effective manner.
Since we are very early in the planning process (ODP), we would request that the addition of
landscape buffers be reviewed at the time of PDP for our initial phase of development.

Montava Phase D Core and Irrigation Pond Basic Development Review (BDR240006)
Request to Extend Appeal Hearing Deadline
Summary of Request
This is a request to extend the 60-day hearing deadline pursuant
to Land Use Code, Sec. 6.3.12(C), for an appeal filed in January
on the Planning Manager’s Decision approving a Basic
Development Review to develop the residential core section of
Montava Phase D and the irrigation pond of the Montava
Planned Unit Development (PUD) Master Plan.
The basis of the appeal is related to the impact of proposed
stormwater management and development plans on nearby
irrigation ditches.
An appeal hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission
would be a new (de novo) hearing, effectively nullifying the
current approval.
The Appellants and the Developer are in on-going negotiations
on a final settlement agreement that may render the appeal
moot, and cause it to be withdrawn. Given this, both parties
have agreed to extending the hearing deadline to allow time to
finalize and execute that outstanding agreement.
Next Steps
Pending resolution of the agreement negotiations, staff would
schedule the appeal hearing, or process a withdrawal of the
appeal. If the appeal is not withdrawn, the hearing would be
scheduled for a regular meeting in April or May, 2025.

1.Project Introduction
A.PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This is a request for a Basic Development Review (BDR) to develop 329 single-unit attached and detached
dwellings, civic spaces, irrigation pond and affiliated infrastructure improvements as part of Phase D of the
Montava Planned Unit Development (PUD) (parcel # 8833000002).
The site is located directly west of Giddings Road, between Mountain Vista and Richards Lake Rd. Future
access will be taken from Giddings Road. Phase D is located within Transects 4, 5 and 3.2 of the PUD Master
Plan. The project is subject to a decision by the Director of Community Development and Neighborhood
Services.
•The plan is diagonally south-east of the existing Maple Hill subdivision. It is east of the proposed future
Poudre School District site, and the existing Storybrook subdivision to the west. The Number 8 Ditch
runs near Phase D, to the west, but importantly, Phase D drains to the east, away from the ditch.
•The plan includes 197,400 square feet (4.5 acres) of civic space in the form of greenways, greens,
pocket parks, commons, passages, and a square.
•Phase D proposes a series of public streets that will connect with future phases of the Montava
development. The applicant proposes a roundabout to connect Phase D with Giddings Road. Staff are
currently reviewing an infrastructure only BDR that must gain approval prior to construction of Phase
D.
B.SITE CHARACTERISTICS
1.Development Status/Background
The subject property is currently farmed and is 289-acres in size. It will be platted as part of this BDR project.
The property was annexed into the City of Fort Collins on May 8, 1984 as part of the Allen Lind and Moore
Annexation. The project includes parts of two existing parcels (parcels # 8382000001, 8832000002).

C.OVERVIEW OF MAIN CONSIDERATIONS IN STAFF’S REVIEW
The plans were developed, and issues clarified through four rounds of submittals with responses to
comments and questions. The major considerations of staff’s review included:
•Stormwater conveyance in compliance with the requirements of the Larimer and Weld Irrigation
Company. Montava and the Larimer and Weld Irrigation Company achieved alignment on a
stormwater design through mediation though an agreement is not yet finalized. The proposed
stormwater system reflects the expected outcomes of mediation.
•Montava requested a series of variances from the City’s road standards to develop the proposed
street network. Variances include modifications to standard street cross sections, standard utility
easements on non-arterials, centerline tangent length, and centerline radius. These variance
requests required collaboration between the City and applicant to develop a street network fitting
of Montava’s New Urbanist vision while meeting safety standards in the Larimer County Urban
Area Street Standards (LCUASS).
•Transportation improvements include a roundabout on Giddings Road, a connected network of
streets internal to Phase D, and adding curb, gutter, and sidewalk to Giddings Road along Phase D’s
frontage.
•Environmental assessment of existing natural habitat and wetlands on and off-site, with appropriate
mitigation provided on-site.
•Ensuring all civic spaces met the criteria of the Montava Uses, Densities, and Development
Standards.
2.Comprehensive Plan
A.CITY PLAN (2019)
The City’s comprehensive plan (City Plan) was updated in 2019. City Plan is organized based on seven
outcome areas that form the basis of the City’s Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process. Three core values
guide the vision for City Plan: livability, community, and sustainability. Each outcome area has a series of
statements indicating how the principles and policies of each outcome area align with the core values. Action
plans accompany each outcome area to ensure implementation of City Plan. The Montava Phase D – Core
and Irrigation Pond plan provides an opportunity to further implement the vision of City Plan representing new
“greenfield development” to create a well-planned, mixed-use community from the ground up. Key policies in
City Plan set the foundation for implementation and the PUD is consistent with this policy direction.
Relevant Policies:
Neighborhood Livability and Social Health
Principle LIV 1: Maintain a compact pattern of growth that is well served by public facilities and encourages
the efficient use of land.
Principle LIV 3: Maintain and enhance our unique character and sense of place as the community grows.
Principle LIV 4: Enhance Neighborhood Livability
Policy LIV 4.1 - NEW NEIGHBORHOODS Encourage 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.

Mixed-Use Neighborhoods District
Key Characteristics: Provide opportunities for a variety of attached and detached housing options and
amenities in a compact neighborhood setting; some neighborhoods also include (or have direct access to)
small-scale retail and other supporting services; Neighborhood Centers should serve as focal points within
Mixed-Neighborhoods (see Neighborhood Mixed-Use District); Typically located within walking/biking distance
of services and amenities, as well as high-frequency transit; and Mixed-Neighborhoods built in a greenfield
context should include a mix of housing options (lot size, type, price range, etc.).
Montava Phase D, which includes Montava PUD Transect Districts, Urban Center/ Mixed-Use (T5), General
Urban Neighborhood (T4), and Sub-urban Neighborhood (T3.2), permits and encourages a wide variety of
residential types and densities. The project proposes a gradation of densities from north to south. At the north
end, the lower density T3.2 district borders the proposed elementary school site (not included in this phase).
Moving south towards the Montava town center (not included in this phase), housing density increases.
Phase D sets aside two future sites for multi-unit housing development, which will further contribute to the mix
of housing and gradation of densities. The street network provides connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists in
alignment with the vision for Mixed-Use Neighborhood Districts.
B.MOUNTAIN VISTA SUBAREA PLAN (2009)
In 2009, City Council adopted the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. The Plan Framework map included seven
future land use designations: Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhoods (LMN), Medium Density Mixed-Use
Neighborhoods (MMN), Community Commercial (CC), Employment (E), Industrial (I), School (PSD), and
Community Park (POL).
The Plan offers the following relevant goals or policy guidance:
Policy MV-LU-1.4 The Community Commercial District’s (CCD) “main street” will be aligned towards the
mountain view of Longs Peak, parallel to the 4-lane arterial street (approximate angle 38 degrees). This main
street orientation will provide a site line looking southwest towards the mountains.
Policy MV-LU-1.6 Higher density mixed-use neighborhoods should be concentrated adjacent to the
Community Commercial District and along the Enhanced Travel Corridors, including the extension of
realigned Vine Drive and Timberline Road corridors.
Policy MV-T-1.4 Bicycle and pedestrian facilities, both on- and off-street, will be developed to link this subarea
to downtown Fort Collins and the Poudre River Trail. These connections will link the comprehensive city- and
region-wide bicycle, pedestrian, and transit systems.
Policy MV-T-3.1 The CCD’s local street network will be designed to maximize a town-like pattern of blocks,
building frontage, and on-street parking. For these streets, standards will emphasize the urban form and the
pedestrian environment. Vehicle access and flow will be accommodated, but will not override the design of
the pedestrian street fronts. Possible elements of the design may include slow speed limits, angled on-street
parking, wider lanes (with maneuvering room for bicycles), medians with pedestrian refuges, and curb
extensions at corners.
Policy MV-CAD-1.1 Key subarea streets, where appropriate, should be oriented southwest to allow
development to provide mountain views.
Policy MV-CAD-1.2 Developers and architects will be encouraged to arrange buildings, outdoor spaces, and
parking lots to protect important view corridors, including limiting building heights, where such arrangements
are effective in emphasizing vistas of the mountains.
Policy MV-NOL-1.2 An off-street multi-use trail network will be located within this subarea that establishes an
important connection between neighborhoods, School, Community Park, Community Commercial District, and
employment areas, and destinations outside of the subarea. This trail network will be designed and located in
accordance with the City’s Parks & Recreation Policy Plan and the Natural Areas Policy Plan.
Policy MV-NOL-1.3 A network of open lands including parks, trails and natural areas will be connected by
existing ditch and canal facilities, and other existing and proposed rights-of-way. Buffer setbacks will be

created for new development in accordance with existing City’s Natural Areas Program Standards &
Guidelines.
The Montava PUD implemented relevant policies from the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan that permits varying
types and amounts of housing density, as well as an emphasis on pedestrian and bicycle access throughout
the development and outside of it, and on a street framework designed to emphasize mountain views.
C. HOUSING STRATEGIC PLAN (2021)
As a city policy document, the Housing Strategic Plan is primarily focused on actions that can be taken by the
City. However, in one way or another, the BDR directly addresses at least 2 of the 26 prioritized strategies in
the Housing Strategic Plan, as noted below:
• 2. Promote inclusivity, housing diversity, and affordability as community values. – The Phase D proposal
includes a variety of housing options which will benefit residents of a variety of needs and backgrounds.
• 15. Explore/address financing and other barriers to missing middle and innovative housing development –
Any code-related barriers to missing middle and innovative housing developments will have been
addressed with the Montava PUD creating the Montava Urban Densities and Development Standards.
The Montava Metro District allows for an expanded set of financing options to allow the developer to
create missing middle and innovative housing options.
D. TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN
The Transportation Master Plan establishes a vision and suite of policies to achieve build out of the Master
Street Plan. City Plan contains the Transportation Master Plan within the body of the document rather than it
being a separate document. Pages 158-217 of City Plan discusses the Transportation Master Plan. In
addition to the referenced transportation policies above, this BDR proposal is consistent with the Master
Street Plan with no proposed amendments to the primary street network.
E. PARKS AND RECREATION POLICY PLAN
The Park Planning & Development Department uses the Parks and Recreation Policy Plan as their guiding
document for the buildout of the Fort Collins parks and recreation system. The purpose of the adopted Parks and
Recreation Policy Plan is to assess the park and recreation needs of the Fort Collins community, evaluate the
City’s current services, and provide clear and implementable recommendations to deliver the level of service
needed to meet the community’s changing needs. The vision of this plan states:
Fort Collins’ parks, trails, and recreation facilities give quality of life and beauty to our city. These
essential assets connect people to place, self, and others. Fort Collins’ residents’ treasure and
care for this legacy and will build on the past to provide for future generations.
The BDR proposal is consistent with the Plan with the integration of Civic Spaces and recreation facilities to serve
the neighborhoods, a segment of the future regional trail and connecting paths throughout the development. A
future public neighborhood park is planned adjacent to the Phase D irrigation pond, to the west.

The Nature in the City Strategic Plan was adopted unanimously by City Council in March 2015. The plan provides
the vision, goals and policies ensuring that access to nature remains a defining community attribute as infill and
redevelopment continues to urbanize Fort Collins. The plan vision is "a connected open space network accessible
to the entire community that provides a variety of experiences and functional habitat for people, plants and
wildlife." The three plan goals are:
1) Easy Access to Nature: Ensure every resident is within a 10-minute walk to nature from their home or
workplace.
2) High Quality Natural Spaces: Conserve, create and enhance natural spaces to provide diverse social
and ecological opportunities.
3) Land Stewardship: Shift the landscape aesthetic to more diverse forms that support healthy
environments for people and wildlife.
The proposed project directly supports the following plan policies:

ii.The Developer will obtain a BNSF permit for construction of the stormwater outfall prior to the City
releasing more than 25% of Montava Phase D building permits.
iii.The Developer will construct and certify the stormwater outfall prior to the City releasing more than
35% of the total building permits for Phase D of the Montava Development (the sum of the 25%
previously-released building permits and an additional 10% of building permits).
b.Developer acknowledges the design for the stormwater outfall infrastructure may need to change based
on future revisions to the Cooper Slough Stormwater Master Plan resulting from any agreement the
Developer may enter into with local ditch companies. The City will not pay or reimburse the Developer if
designed and/or constructed drainage infrastructure does not meet the revised Cooper Slough
Stormwater Master Plan.
7.Prior to construction within the regulatory FEMA floodplain, the Developer has acquired from the City,
pursuant to the Fort Collins Municipal Code, a floodplain use permit with no-rise or CLOMR for any work
within a FEMA regulated floodplain, as such terms are defined in Chapter 10 of the Fort Collins Municipal
Code.
For the City to release any building permits up to 25% of the total building permits for Phase D of the
Montava Development, the Developer must meet the following conditions:
1.The Developer must have obtained BNSF Engineering Review Approval for a culvert/pipe and related
infrastructure that will carry drainage flows from Phase D of the Montava Development
under/through/past the BNSF right-of-way.
For the City to release up to 35% of the total building permits for Phase D of the Montava Development (the
sum of the 25% previously-released building permits and an additional 10% of building permits), the
Developer must meet the following conditions:
1.The Developer must have met all conditions listed in the previous section regarding building permits up
to 25% of the total building permits for Phase D.
2.The Developer must have acquired BNSF permits for the Stormwater outfall.
For the City to release the remaining building permits for Phase D of the Montava Development (anything
above the previously-released 35% of building permits), the Developer must meet the following conditions:
1.All offsite drainage infrastructure must be installed pursuant to the Final Development Plan approved by
the City.

As I look at these added homes, I can’t help but wonder about the roads in and out of the area.
To make a peaceful trip into Ft. Collins is either North Lemay or Timberline – both 2 lane roads
–
Once everyone realizes the traffic issues with development, it will be decided to widen one of
these 2 roads.
THEN we will down to one road as they pretty much close the other to upgrade it.
Wondering if is this development proposal if there are any references to upgrading the current
infrastructure?
Also, how long is this build out supposed to take – how many years ?
Thanks for your time - Lee Chalfant

Good morning,
This morning at 7am a huge truck, semi, drove through our neighborhood in
Maple Hill, driving along maple hill drive. This is seriously not acceptable!
School children are around, people walking their dogs and other pets roam the
neighborhood. This is a quiet street and allowing trucks to go down it to not only
present a danger but also wreck the road is not okay! If they need to access the
ditch on country road then they need to find a a way to only use that road.
You will be ruining our property values with this new construction. God knows
how long it will take. The one up the street on morningstar has been building and
limping along for 3.5 years now! I already don’t love it here, but now you will
make it worse.
But mostly STOP allowing trucks to go down maple hill drive!!! I will only make
more fuss.
I live on the corner of maple hill and clarion.

Hey Greg,
Todd sent me your e-mail below with questions related to Montava Phase D. I’ve CC’d Jill Baty and
Todd Sullivan on this e-mail. Jill is the other planner working on this project with me.
1. This is the first phase of Montava that is ready for approval.
2. The future City park and school site are not a part of Phase D.
3. The school district and Montava will need to execute a land swap with PSD. That is in the
works. You’re correct, the City will need to acquire the property for the NE community park.
4. ELCO will serve the first two phases of Montava.
5. Montava has enough water with ELCO for the first two phases. Montava is working on a long-
term water solution for the remaining phases.
6. I don’t know, ELCO or Montava would be able to answer that question.
7. The Montava team would be able to answer your question about the cost of water to date.
8. The City is currently working on signalizing the intersection of Timberline and Vine. This project
should be complete by the end of the year. Here’s a link to the project page for the Timberline
and Vine improvements amongst other road projects in NE Fort Collins:
https://www.fcgov.com/streets/northeastroadwork. There is not a timeline or funding for the
signalization of Country Club and Lemay at the moment.
9. Yes, per the recently adopted Country Club Road Study, the City will work with the County on
improvements to Country Club Road. Page 20 of the study contains the recommendations for
improvements to Country Club Road. Here’s a link to the study:
https://www.larimer.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/2023/final_country_club_road_corridor_

Hi there!
Regarding the Montava proposal, I believe this may already be in the works, but I strongly believe that an early part
of the Montava project must be the extension of Turnberry Road south past Adriel Hills. The traffic on Country
Club Road for people heading south & west to Old Town / midtown is already approaching unsustainable levels,
and all of these new homes will only increase it, especially with the wonderful bridge we now have over Lemay
(while Timberline still has RR tracks to cross). Thanks!!

1. Project Introduction
A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
• This project was submitted prior to the adoption of the May, 2024 Land Use Code, therefore, is being
evaluated under the amended 1997 Land Use Code.
• The project was originally submitted as Blue Sky Self Storage and is now known as Uplift Self Storage.
• This is a proposal for a two-phase self-storage project on a 3.07-acre lot (Lot 11) within the Rudolph Farm
Subdivision and is situated along Carriage Parkway, north of the Timnath Reservoir Inlet Canal ditch,
adjacent to the western boundary of Prospect Middle/High School.
• Phase 1 includes construction of a 3-story, 100,800 sq ft building with a mix of drive-up and interior climate-
controlled units and accompanying landscaping, and hardscape improvements.
• Phase 2 involves development of approximately 23,850 sq ft of single-story storage units (6,650 sq ft climate-
controlled, 17,200 sq ft drive-up), to be submitted for building permits based on market demand.
• The site is in the Industrial (I) zone district and conforms to the Prospect/I-25 Overall Development Plan
(2023).
• The property is vacant farm ground with no on-site natural features, offsite infrastructure (streets, utilities,
drainage) will be completed by the Rudolph Farm Infrastructure Plan which is under construction at the time
of this report. No additional major construction required for the storage project. Detention and water quality
are managed in Pond 2 along with the establishment of the NHBZ will occur as part of approved Rudolph
Farm Final Development Plan.
• The site is largely flat with gradual slope running from northeast to southwest,
• Two vehicular access points and pedestrian connectivity are planned from Carriage Parkway, with customer
and employee parking near the southwest portion of the building.
B. KEY CONSIDERATIONS
• Staff worked with the applicant to ensure that phasing of the plan provided landscape screening that can be
effective should the second phase not be constructed.
• As proposed, all berms and landscaping will be installed with Phase 1 and will include a selection of
evergreen and deciduous plantings to help screen prominent sightlines from Carriage Parkway and
the school.
• Staff did consider the swathes of continuous pavement around the perimeter of the main building and
if additional plantings between bays was appropriate, however, due to larger trucks the customers
may be operating, snow removal, and the buffer created by the proposed landscaping, staff found
that additional landscaping may have a low survivability rate within the space and therefore is
comfortable without providing additional landscaping within the vehicle circulation areas of the site.
• Staff worked with the applicant to ensure that highly visible edges of the building incorporated a level of
design that comports with I-25 Subarea standards with particular focus on building articulation, roof treatment,
windows, neutral colors and materiality.
• Staff worked with the applicant to ensure the smaller perimeter buildings feature a pitched roof design as
required for buildings under 10,000 square feet, and in case of Building B, incorporated elements of a pitch
roof design to help unify the perimeter buildings of Phase 2.
C. SITE CHARACTERISTICS
1. Development Status/Background
The property has historically been used for dry-land farming and remains undeveloped. The subject property
was annexed into the City of Fort Collins as part of the Galatia Annex in 1991. The original annexation and
zoning of the property was part of Annexation Ordinance 131, 1990 and was approved by City Council on
January 15, 1991.

In 1996 an Overall Development Plan (ODP) was approved and later amended in 2021 and 2023. The ODP is
intended to provide a general framework of streets, paths, drainage facilities, and natural habitat features for
developments that are anticipated to build out over multiple phases and can be found attached to this report.
Most recently in 2025, the Rudolph Farm Infrastructure Project was recorded, and a Development Construction
Permit (DCP) has been issued and construction has started to construct public and private infrastructure to
serve the entire 13-lot subdivision.
The site is part of the approved Rudolph Farm Metro District. More information can be found by visiting,

2. Comprehensive Plan Compliance
A. COMPLIANCE WITH THE I-25 SUBAREA PLAN (2003) & NORTHERN COLORADO
REGIONAL COMMUNITIES 1-25 CORRIDOR PLAN (2001)
The I-25 Subarea Plan and the Northern Colorado Regional Communities I-25 Corridor Plan were developed
concurrently, with overlapping boundaries along the I-25 corridor in Northern Colorado. While the regional plan,
adopted by Fort Collins on November 20, 2001, focused broadly on design standards, transportation, and open
lands policies from County Road 52 to south of Berthoud, the subarea plan provided a more detailed analysis of
land use from County Road 52 to County Road 32. The subarea plan builds on the regional plan, emphasizing
specific zoning and development guidelines to maintain openness and prevent a commercial strip along I-25.
Key features of the I-25 Subarea Plan include maintaining the existing Growth Management Area boundary,
establishing two activity centers at the I-25/Mulberry Street and I-25/Prospect Road interchanges, and designating
employment and industrial districts with strict design standards, such as setbacks and height limits. Residential
development near I-25 is tightly regulated: low-density single-family homes are prohibited within a quarter-mile of
the highway, while mixed-use neighborhoods and urban estate areas are planned with varying density limits. The
plan also preserves open lands, such as the City’s Resource Recovery Farm, and promotes multi-modal
transportation options, including a supplemental street system to reduce reliance on I-25 for local trips.
Regarding Uplift Self Storage, staff finds that the proposed land use is not only permitted by current zoning
standards but also explicitly named under the Industrial use definition found in Chapter 5.4. However, self-storage
generates minimal jobs, offering limited contribution to the “long-term employment growth” goals of the plan. While
not ideal for this goal, it is not prohibited, as the Industrial district prioritizes use type over employment density.
The plan emphasizes transitions to residential areas; however, because the site is approximately 1,000 feet from
the nearest residence, buffering is not necessary. Self-storage generates low traffic volumes (mostly personal
vehicles for short visits), aligning with the goal of reduced I-25 reliance. Access is provided via Carriage Parkway,
which conforms to Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards per the plan’s intent and supports biking and
walking with on-street bike lanes and detached sidewalks.
Packet Pg. 310
Planning and Zoning Commission – Item 5
PDP230013 | Uplift Self Storage

Back to Top
Perhaps the most important element of the subarea plan is the mandate for high-quality design to preserve views
and avoid strip commercial patterns within a half-mile of I-25. The project provides an elevated level of design by
proposing high-quality materials, such as brick, stucco, and metal panels. Different roofline standards apply to both
phases based on building size. Staff has found that the project offers an enhanced level of design consistent with
the corridor vision; a more detailed analysis can be found under the I-25 standards discussed later in this staff
report.
Overall, staff finds that the project aligns with all stated policy objectives of the subarea plan.
3. Public Outreach
A. WRITTEN, E-MAIL, PHONE, OR IN-PERSON PUBLIC COMMENT
Update 3/24/2025
Several community comments were inadvertently missed and were received in 2023 during the time the project
was named ‘Blue Sky Self Storage.’ The following are a summarization of the comments that can be seen attached
to this report:
• There are already multiple storage facilities within a mile of the location, including some with climate
control and drive-up access, making another facility unnecessary and unbeneficial to the community.
• The storage facility would be an eyesore for residents and visitors, detracting from the area's otherwise
lovely appearance.
• The industrial/commercial zoning area should be developed to attract daily businesses and maintain an
upscale character that grows with the community, benefiting high school students and homeowners who
prefer not to travel into the city. The commenter suggests alternative developments such as city parks,
education-related facilities, small businesses, childcare facilities, veterinarian offices, restaurants, retail,
grocery stores, or breweries, which would enhance the area's beauty and value.
• The public comment is from a resident of Clydesdale Park who wrote to express opposition to the potential
development of a self-storage facility at the location.
• The resident does not support the project, arguing that with the new middle and high school nearby, the
land—zoned for industrial and general commercial use—could be developed in more beneficial ways for
the community. As a Clydesdale Park resident, they note the scarcity of amenities east of I-25. After
reviewing the Land Use Ordinances, they suggest alternatives such as a local park, community facility,
supermarket, or local retail shops, which would better serve both the local community and students. They
believe a self-storage facility would only increase traffic without enhancing the community or providing
value to residents.
• Questions whether the project characteristics listed in the traffic study remain accurate.
• They express strong community support from the area north of the Overall Development Plan (ODP) for a
residential designation for areas currently zoned as industrial.
• Concerns over 3-story height when compared to the school.
• Other opposition the self-storage land use and support for grocery store or other retail space within the
area.

A resident north of the proposal indicated that the area was promised as residential, but the buffer zone
shrank, reducing separation from the commercial district and that views would be blocked.
A Fox Grove resident expressed concerns about traffic increases from this and future projects, plus the loss of
their quiet subdivision’s charm, noting poor walkability and no food access.

A. DIVISION 3.2 – SITE PLANNING & DESIGN STANDARDS
Standard
Landscaping &
Tree Protection
This section applies to all development within designated "limits of development"
(LOD) and natural habitat buffer zones (per Section 3.4.1), with the purpose of
requiring landscape and tree protection plans that create, diversify, and maintain
significant canopy cover to maximize benefits like reduced erosion, improved
stormwater and water management, better air quality, less glare and heat,
enhanced aesthetics, and greater continuity between developments, while also
using properly placed trees to provide screening, reduce conflicts between site
elements, and strengthen the urban forest; accordingly, all developments must
submit a landscape and tree protection plan (plus an irrigation plan if using City
water) that extends existing outdoor space and vegetation patterns where
feasible, serves practical functions (e.g., screening, privacy, microclimate
control), improves the appearance of the development and area, protects
significant trees and habitats, enhances pedestrian spaces, maps all landscape
areas, details landscaping elements, and meets or exceeds this section’s
standards.
Landscaping along Carriage Parkway is designed to buffer the north, east and
south elevations of drive-up storage units of Phase 1. - Buildings D-3 and D-4,
both of which are one-story, as well as the east elevation of the 3-story building.
These areas contain a combination of trees, shrubs, and berming, landscaping
meets and, in some cases, exceeds all minimum requirements.
Overall, the Landscape Plan demonstrates compliance with the minimum
required sizes and maximum percentage of any one species.
Section 3.2.1(E)(6) -
Screening Standards require landscape and building elements to conceal unattractive or
intrusive site features (e.g., trash areas, storage, service zones, loading docks,
blank walls) from off-site views. Screening is required on all sides, except where
access is needed. For access points visible from public streets, use removable or
operable screens. Screens must limit visibility of the screened area to 20% or
less. Screening Materials should employ new or existing plants, walls, fences,

Section 3.2.2(B) -
Access, Circulation
and Parking -
General Standard
The onsite parking and circulation system safely accommodates the movement of
vehicles, bikes and pedestrians. A 5-foot Connecting Walkway ties the street
sidewalk directly to the bike parking area located near the building entrance.
Section 3.2.2(C)(5)
- Bicycle Facilities Commercial, industrial, civic, employment, and multi-family residential
developments must provide bicycle facilities, including: (a) both Enclosed Bicycle
Parking and Fixed Bicycle Racks to meet minimum requirements; (b) minimum
parking spaces as specified in a table, with unlisted uses matching the closest
listed use.
In the case of this development, the project provides the required minimum
number of fixed spaces, with a 5 space ribbon rack.
Section 3.2.2(C)(5)
- Walkways Walkways must be direct, continuous, and connect pedestrian origins to
destinations like street sidewalks to building entries without obstruction from
curbs, stairs, or parking layouts, with a minimum width of 6 feet and paved
enhancements, flanking both sides of drive aisles to main entrances. Street
crossings prioritize pedestrian safety and access where walkways cross
driveways or roads, maintaining continuous pedestrian paving with distinct
driveway breaks, clearly marked using treatments like striping, signs, lighting, and
traffic calming measures. On-site pedestrian and bicycle systems connect directly
to key destinations such as trails, parks, and transit stops within or adjacent to
the development, linking to existing or planned off-site facilities for convenient
travel, with additional walkways potentially required for safety and efficiency. Off-
site pedestrian or bicycle facility improvements may be mandated to ensure
safety, efficiency, and compliance with parking, transportation, and connectivity
standards. A city-approved Transportation Impact Study following local guidelines
is required to identify necessary facilities and ensure compliance with these
standards.
The project provides a single unobstructed connecting walkway that ties the
entryway of the front office to Carriage Parkway sidewalk system.
Section 3.2.2(K)(2)
- Non-Residential
Parking
Requirements
Self-storage is not a listed use within the parking table and staff contends that the
most similar use to be ‘Industrial: Employee Parking’. This use requires a range
between 0.5/employee and .75 / employee.
According to industry estimates, a typical staffing level might be 2-5 employees
during peak shifts, assuming a single manager’s office and limited on-site
personnel (e.g., maintenance or customer service staff).
For customers, the traffic study indicates 141 average weekday trips with a peak
volume of 12 vehicles during AM timeframe, and 19 vehicles during PM
timeframe.
In the case of this development providing 5 spaces will provide sufficient spaces
for both employees and customers visiting the front office. It is also anticipated
that customers may park under the canopy area and perimeter of the vehicle use
area should more parking be needed.
Section 3.2.4 - Site
Lighting Lighting standards aims to ensure safe, functional, and enjoyable outdoor lighting
for proposed land developments while conserving energy, reducing light pollution,
and protecting local ecosystems through the submission and approval of
comprehensive lighting plans. It applies to all developments except certain
residential lots, requiring adherence to specific design standards such as lumen
calculations, safety considerations, architectural harmony, and restrictions on
light trespass and color temperature.
The project models both phases of the development and features wall-mounted
and 20-foot pole mounted fixtures. The overall lighting package is consistent with

standard.
Section 3.2.5 -
Trash and
Recycling
Enclosures
New commercial developments with common waste systems provide adequately
sized, accessible, and screened areas for collecting, storing, and managing trash
and recyclable materials. It requires detailed development plans with labeled
enclosures, equal access for recycling (at least 50% of trash capacity),
pedestrian and hauler accessibility, durable construction, protective measures,
and specific accommodations like service pads, j-hooks, and durable swinging
doors.
All trash and recycling containers are fully enclosed and designed with the
appropriate person doors.
Section 3.4.1 -
Environmental and
Natural Area
Standards
This site is within 500 feet of a natural feature, Timnath Reservoir Inlet Canal and
Lake Canal which was evaluated and carved off as a Tract as part of the Rudolph
Farm Infrastructure Project. The infrastructure plan provided the following:
Identified a red-tailed hawk nest, three prairie dog colonies, Boxelder Creek, Lake
Canal, and Timnath Reservoir Inlet Canal as natural resources within the site.
The applicant met the LUC 3.4.1 (E) performance standards as part of the larger
infrastructure project utilizing the following measures:
• Development of a prairie dog mitigation plan that provides options for
lethal and non-lethal removal.
• Conducting a burrowing owl survey prior to construction of public
infrastructure.
• Provide an adaptive management plan, restoration plan, a weed
management plan and a monitoring plan to accompany the mitigation
summary exhibit attached to the landscaping plan.
• Preservation of an existing tree that contains a red-tailed hawk.
• Development and identification of enhanced areas of NHBZ over the
overall development area.
This site does not contain prairie dogs, nor is it near the existing tree containing a
red-tailed hawk and does not require further action through this development
plan.
As seen in the landscape plan, the project proposes to enhance the previously
approved NHBZ to the south by adding eight trees which aim to enhance habitat
creation and screening of the site.
Environmental planning has reviewed the proposed additions to the NHBZ and
continue to find the space in compliance with all standards of the section.
Section 3.5.1 -
Building and
Project
Compatibility
The purpose of this section is to ensure that new buildings and developments are
physically and operationally compatible with their surrounding areas, in alignment
with applicable building and zoning standards. New developments should
complement the architectural character of existing areas through harmonious
design elements, including rooflines, building proportions, street relationships,

B. 3.9 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE I-25 CORRIDOR
The purpose of this Section is to provide standards to implement the model standards outlined in the "Development
Standards for the I-25 Corridor" and the "Fort Collins I-25 Corridor Subarea Plan," in addition to the standards
contained elsewhere in this Land Use Code.
standard to guide future development, drawing compatibility cues from the
neighboring context, such as building height.
As the first project in this area, this development sets a high-quality standard
consistent with the level of design mandated by the I-25 Subarea Standards,
which are analyzed later in this report.
Phase 1 features a three-story building constructed with premium materials,
including stucco, brick, and stone. Along highly visible edges, the building
incorporates appropriate levels of fenestration and articulation to enhance its
aesthetic and functional appeal.
Phase 2 proposes six perimeter buildings ranging from 1,500 to 10,000 square
feet. Smaller perimeter buildings will feature pitched roofs with cross gables
oriented toward the site’s perimeter, enhancing visual coherence. Materials
include stucco, buff cultured stone veneer, and silver metal panels, the latter
providing a faux fenestration pattern across the façade for added visual interest.
The largest structure, Building B, adheres to standards that do not require a fully
pitched roof. It features a base and middle design similar to the smaller Phase 2
buildings, topped with a flat cornice interrupted by a gable-end module for
consistency. Except for Building G, all structures in Phase 2 propose pitched
roofs and a material palette aligned with the I-25 Standards. These buildings
alternate between dark brown and tan stucco finishes, with overhanging cornice
features on several modules to enrich the design.
Centrally located Building G, anticipated to have low visibility from surrounding
viewpoints, will utilize similar colors but with fewer architectural details. Staff have
deemed this approach appropriate given its internal site location
Section 3.6.4 -
Transportation
Level of Service
Requirements
A Transportation Impact Analysis was performed for this P.D.P. and reveals the
following:
The modest increase in peak-hour trips is not expected to alter the level of
service at the site’s access points with Carriage Parkway.
The additional access to Carriage Parkway should improve traffic distribution and
roadway operation.
The project aligns with the assumptions and recommendations of the May 2022
Traffic Impact Study, requiring no changes to prior conclusions.
The self-storage project’s traffic impact is consistent with the broader Prospect
and I-25 ODP analysis, and the proposed development is deemed compliant with
existing traffic planning.

hips, breaks, or multiple roof planes) is required.
Phase 2 contains five buildings under 10,000 square feet. As previously mentioned in the report,
four of the five buildings, with the exception of Building G, provide the necessary roof pitch and
design element of a gable end at intervals of less than 50 feet. Building G features similar color
banding through the use of stucco; however, due to its inward-facing orientation and low visibility, it
does not provide the same architectural detail as the perimeter buildings.
Buildings over 10,000 sq ft must include at least two features: parapet walls with cornice treatment,
overhanging eaves (min. 3 feet beyond supporting walls), sloping roofs (min. 1:1 slope, not
exceeding average height of the supporting wall height), or three or more roof slope planes.
Staff investigated the underlying intent of this standard and found that the standards aim to
emphasize simple techniques like consistent roof forms, materials, and colors to create a unified
development pattern. For smaller structures, pitched rooflines with varied design elements are
recommended to add visual interest and character to typical blocky, highway-oriented buildings.
The 10,000 square foot + standards were developed to address larger industrial or "big box"
structures so that they incorporate features like parapet walls, towers, peaked forms, and mansards
to enhance flat roofs and provide the following precedent image.

Building B of Phase 2 provides compliance with the standard by utilizing a tiered cornice that is
made more pronounced through the continuation of color banding toward the top of the building.
The cornice is interrupted by small reliefs that break up the continuous massing of the wall and is
further articulated through the use of extruded modules that feature a similar gable end design that
is used in the smaller perimeter buildings.
3.9.5(B) –
Building
Form/Façade
Treatment
Facades facing streets, adjacent developments, or pedestrian areas must be articulated and
human-scaled (e.g., with windows, entrances, or awnings) along at least 60% of their length.
The street-facing façade is articulated to a human scale through the use of several elements, which
include a dark bronze metal sunshade and a storefront window system on the primary entrance
module. This then transitions to the use of silver metal panels that maintain similar proportions to
the windows along the ground-floor façade. Each element, whether a panel or a window, includes a
dark bronze awning or sunshade panel to provide a visual terminus as an element of human scale
when experiencing the building design from the sidewalk.

The project provides a customer entrance which is made prominent through the simple approach of
a bracketed metal sunshade and storefront door and window system.
3.9.5(C) –
Materials &
Colors
Buildings must use stucco, brick, stone, or tinted/textured masonry blocks for visual interest at
pedestrian level.
Prohibited materials include smooth gray concrete blocks, tilt-up concrete panels, and metal as a
primary surface (metal limited to 10% trim or roofing).
Facade colors must be low-reflectance earth tones; high-intensity primary colors are banned on
visible roof areas.
The project utilizes stucco and brick as primary materials while utilizing metal as to detail roof
treatments and faux windows. In either phase, the utilization of the material does not exceed the
10% maximum as designated by the standard.
Colors consist of low reflective earth tones such as tan, medium brown, dark brown, and red brick.
Accents include silver and dark grey non reflective colors as depicted in the elevation snapshot

Fences and walls must use high-quality materials (e.g., brick, stone, ornamental metal) and
complement the development. They must be set back 6 feet from sidewalks with landscaped
buffers and limited to 40-foot unbroken lengths, using breaks like columns or landscaping.
It is typical for self storage facilities to include fencing as part of a strategy to ensure site security,
however, this PDP does not propose any fencing in either Phase 1 or Phase 2. Should the project
require fencing at sometime in the future a Minor Amendment application can be submitted to make
site plan adjustments.
The planning and zoning commission may impose a condition or suggestion to the application of
which type of fencing is appropriate should a future amendment materialize or decision during Final
Development Plan to include perimeter fencing.
3.9.10 – Height Outside activity centers, nonresidential buildings within 225 feet of the I-25 centerline are limited to
20 feet in height, and buildings (residential or nonresidential) between 226 and 725 feet are capped
at 40 feet.
This site is located over 1,000 feet of the centerline of I-25, therefore no height limitations apply.

Re: Blue Sky Self Storage at Rudolph Farm
Preliminary Development Plan Narrative
The proposed Blue Sky Self Storage project at Rudolph Farm is a two‐phase self‐storage /
mini‐warehouse project on a 3.07‐acre lot as part of the proposed Rudolph Farm ODP, Plat,
and Infrastructure FDP, specifically Lot 11, located along the frontage of Carriage Parkway
just north of the TRIC ditch and adjacent to the western boundary of the Prospect
Middle/High School property. The proposal is for the construction of a 3‐story, 100,800‐sf
gfa building in the first phase, which will be a mix of drive‐up units and interior, climate‐
controlled units. The second phase of development will include approximately 23,850‐sf of
single‐story storage units, of which 6,650‐sf will be climate controlled and the balance
(17,200‐sf) of which will be drive‐up traditional units. Phase 2 will not be included in the
initial building permit submittals, but rather will be submitted for building permit as market
needs dictate construction of the second phase.
Rudolph Farm is a proposed mixed‐use development, of which industrial land uses are a
major component. This property is located within an Industrial (I) zoned area per the
Rudolph Farm ODP. The proposed self‐storage use is an allowed use in the I zone district.
There are no natural features affected by this proposal, as the property is vacant farm
ground that will undergo mass grading as part of the overall development of Rudolph Farm.
General site topography is from northeast to southwest. The proposed overlot grading as
part of the FDP will maintain this drainage pattern, with the exception of the eastern
property edge which will require am approximate 5:1 graded slope.
All required offsite infrastructure, including streets, utilities and drainage facilities will be
constructed by the overall Rudolph Farm developer as part of the Rudolph Farm
Infrastructure Final Development Plan prior to development of the Blue Sky Storage project.
No additional utility main, street or major drainage facility construction is anticipated with
the project.
Detention storage and water quality treatment are both accommodated in Pond 2 as
designed with the FDP package.

Two vehicular site access points are proposed, both from Carriage Parkway. Pedestrian
connectivity will also be from Carriage Parkway. Customer parking will be adjacent to the
office portion of the building.
Site design is such that the main building (Building A) will be central to the property, with
access drives adjacent to three sides of the Phase 1 structure. The building has been placed
as close to the western property line as possible to maintain community 15’ build‐to bulk
standards. Phase 2 will include access drives to serve the drive‐up door locations.
Building Architecture will be in keeping with city standards and requirements, including the
I‐25 Subarea Plan requirements. Materials will be a mix of stucco, brick, metal panel and
stone veneer with parapet caps. Building elevations, corresponding material selections, and
perspectives depicting architectural styles and colors is included with the Preliminary
Development Plan application materials.

Virtual - 2 Purpose of the Meeting and City Process
Neighborhood Development Liaison Em Myler introduced the purpose of the meeting and how it fits into the process for
prospective development in the City. The meeting purpose is to share information between the prospective developer
and interested community members, with City staff supporting as is helpful. Notes from the neighborhood meeting will
eventually be provided to P&Z as the decision maker on a development plan.
Meeting discussion is intended to be considered by the development team as they decide whether and how to
formulate an actual application for submittal to the City for review. Proposal Overview Questions, Responses, and Comments
Responses are by the prospective applicant unless otherwise indicated
C: I live directly north of this facility. We were told that this area would be residential. Last year there was a portion of
the Urban Estates buffer zone on the north side of this property that has been shrunk significantly, reducing the buffer

between us and the commercial district this will be built in. There are a lot of homes to the east which will have views
obstructed by this facility. This area is the introduction for people entering Fort Collins. I appreciate Fort Collins’ unique
architecture and think this building has very little of that character. I ask that you consider height and character of the
building.
A: (Mapes) This property has been designated as commercial and industrial for a long time. Regarding views, the Land
Use Code doesn’t protect views, but does regulate the height of the building and the way it assimilates with the area
including the articulation of the building and landscaping.
A: These self-storage buildings are fairly compact, so they are shorter than the typical three-story building. We will work
with the City to address the massing and landscaping. I think there is well over 1000 feet between us and the nearest
house.
Q: I live in Foxgrove West. I have the same concerns. I enjoy the quiet environment in Fort Collins. It looks like this is the
first of many developments in this area and there are concerns about increasing traffic in our neighborhoods. What is
the overall site plan for the area. There’s no walkability on this side of the highway and no food access. I’d love to see
something like a café or supermarket. I think my overall concerns are traffic impacts and losing the character of our
small subdivision.
A: (Myler) We don’t have anyone in the room who can speak to the overall development of this area, but I can send you
more information if you reach out to me.
A: (Gilchrist) There are some regional trails planned to connect the neighborhood with the amenities provided by this
development. We are also working on more connectivity across the interstate.

Subject:[EXTERNAL] Blue Sky Storage at Rudolph Farms
Date:Tuesday, May 2, 2023 9:51:55 AM
Hello,
As a homeowner very near to this site and the new Timnath Middle High School, I cannot tell you how much we
oppose this Blue Sky Storage development. Certainly we could find a better solution to utilizing this
industrial/commercial zoning area that would benefit the homeowners and students who live here.
To start, there are multiple storage areas including some with climate control and drive up capability within one mile
of this location. Another facility is NOT NEEDED and won’t benefit our community here.
Second, it would most definitely be an eyesore for not only homeowners and people living here, but for people
passing through the area thinking how lovely it otherwise might be.
Third, we should be focusing on developing this area to attract people for daily businesses and keeping it upscale, in
growing with our community and keeping it nice. With high school students and plenty of homeowners who don’t
want to travel into the city we could consider a huge variety of businesses (for example city parks, education related
facilities, small business, childcare facilities, veterinarian offices, restaurant, retail, grocery, brewery, etc). There are
so many options that would bring beauty and value to the residents and businesses of this area, and a three story
storage facility is NOT one of those options.
Please please consider homeowners and residential input before approving this project. It is not good for our
neighborhood or our community to allow this storage facility to go in next to this beautiful new school and area.
Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
Brianna Wilkson

Subject:[EXTERNAL] Regarding Proposal to Build Blue Sky Self-Storage at Rudolph Farm
Date:Tuesday, May 2, 2023 2:20:14 PM
Hi Em,
I am a resident of Clydesdale Park and received a notice regarding the Rudolph Farm
Infrastructure Project Proposal FDP220010. While I realize the meeting on May 4, 2023 is
simply regarding the road infrastructure, I would like to write to share my thoughts and
feelings about the potential building of a self-storage facility at this location.
I do not support this project proposal. With the completion of the new, beautiful middle and
high school, there are a number of other more beneficial ways this land could be developed for
the community. I understand the property is zoned for Industrial and General Commercial
projects. As a resident of Clydesdale Park, I can confidently say there are few amenities east
of I-25 for us to access. After reviewing the Land Use Ordinances, there are so many ways this
land could better serve our local community, as well as the students at the nearby school,
including a local park, community facility, supermarket, local retail shops, and many others. A
self-storage facility would simply increase traffic to this area without improving the
community and offering more to its residents.
I am in strong opposition to building a self-storage facility here. I would love to be kept in the
loop on future hearings so I may participate and express my feelings on the matter. Thank you
for your time!
Best,
Ariel Friese

Subject:[EXTERNAL] FDP220010 - questions for the meeting on Thursday, May 4th
Date:Tuesday, May 2, 2023 2:41:31 PM
I do plan to attend, but wanted to submit a couple of items in advance, as they are fairly
specific.
Regarding document RUDOLPH FARMS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT - FDP220010 -
SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - TRAFFIC STUDY
Page 18 identifies Project Characteristics. Are these still accurate for the project? In particular,
bullet 2, PA-2 references a grocery store; and bullet 3, PA-3, references a coffee shop. Is there
another document that has the current project characteristics?
Page 18 of the same traffic study identifies that PA-8 has the potential to be changed from
Industrial to Residential. Is there an update to that potential? The community north of the
ODP would strongly support residential.
Pages 3, 18 and 35 of the same traffic study identifies that the trails will connect to a future
underpass at I-25. Where and when would this underpass be developed? Is there additional
detail on this plan somewhere?
Document RUDOLPH FARMS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT - FDP220010 -

COMMENTS
Page 11, Park Planning item 12B, identifies that the ODP was amended to accommodate a
future neighborhood park. Can additional detail be provided about that park? Is this the NW
corner of the site or somewhere else?

HI, just wanted to comment on this prior to you approving. I see where this is three stories
and will it be higher than other buildings in the area?
Just hopeful that our city is taking a look at these kind of things. Hopefully it won't be any
higher than the Middle/High School nearby

Hi ….
I would also like to go on record as being opposed to the self storage unit being considered next to the new Timnath
middle/high school.
I would be in favor of a grocery store or other retail space. As a resident of Clydesdale Park I would love to see a
grocery store or other retail space.
I realize the meeting is tomorrow, and is simply a meeting regarding the road infrastructure. I just wanted to give my
input on this matter.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Wellington storage facility development
Hello,
I am writing to address the proposed Wellington storage facility.
This project will devalue our town. There are already several storage facilities nearby and a storage
space for RVs, boats and other recreational vehicles. Why would we need yet another storage facility
in the middle of our town? It’s an eyesore. We are a small town hopefully on the verge of expanding
and increasing revenue. This project is off putting.
People who move here want a small town feel and a more conservative place to live along the I25
corridor. They don’t want a N Fort Collins Mulberry area. It’s ugly and run down, full of random
store, storage, gas stations, hotels and warehouse-esque businesses. We don’t need that here. If you
want to attract revenue, you need to attract people. I know I wouldn’t have bothered moving here if
it was ghetto looking.
We have the potential to look closer to a small version of Timnath. We have been considering
relocating there to access better schools as well and the appeal. House values have shot up there
and it is a highly desired town to live in. We have stayed because we’d like to continue living in a
more conservative, rural small town feel and values, not be a Hickville. If you’re going to build
something that adds to our already sky high water bills, increasing taxes and miscellaneous fees,
make it worth it.
Thank you for your time,

Other uses would be better for this property and serve the community.
Response:
The Rudolph Farm Overall Development Planmaster development has been subject to severalyears of review, including public comment. Thisland use has been scrutinized along with all ofthe other planning areas and corresponding landuses of the master plan. The self storage use is asuitable, allowed, and approved use on thisportion of the project identified for Industrialdevelopment.
Self-storage does serve the community.Businesses and residents alike utilize storage fortheir various needs and the day-to-day businessoperations of the community will be served.

As real-estate developers, we spend alot of resources determining where anew project should get built. We havegood metrics indicating that a self-storage facility will be successful here.
I also live here. I was born at PVH,attended Poudre High School and CSUand still drive by this location everyweek to take my kids to school. As aresident of this area, I see no negativeeffect on the community with thisproject.

This is also not a stereotypical self-storage facility. This is a Class A,Commercial Building. This building willin-fact enhance the desired upscalearea as demonstrated by the includedBuilding Rendering.
