LIBERTY COMMON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PHASE 2 – SPA250001 DESCRIPTION: This is a request to change the use and occupancy of the existing building at 1901 Sharp Point Drive from an office building to Liberty Common Junior High School, which includes interior tenant finish renovations. The project also involves constructing an addition to connect the building to 1825 Sharp Point Drive and implementing site work to manage stormwater flows, create new stormwater detention features, and re-route public and emergency access. The interior will be renovated to accommodate classrooms, administrative offices, a cafeteria, a gymnasium, and support spaces for 330 junior high students. This is the second SPAR submittal for the project, following Phase 1, which is currently under construction.

ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 1 DRA F T Packet Pg. 5 2/20/25 - MINUTES Page 2 DISCUSSION AGENDA 3. BRICK STONE EXTENSION REQUEST FDP170006 DESCRIPTION: This is a request for an extension to the vested rights for 201 East Harmony Road (Brick Stone Apartments on Harmony). The City of Fort Collins adopted new Land Use Code standards in May of 2024. The project team will be providing a full analysis documenting how the project still meets the general development standards found in Articles 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the newly adopted Fort Collins Land Use Code. This full analysis will be provided to the City before December 14th, 2024 (date of extension STAFF: Arlo Schumann, Planner Commissioner Shepard stated he had a brief, factual conversation with one of the abutting property owners in Fairway Estates during which the merits of this request were not discussed. He stated he did not believe the conversation would impact his impartiality on this issue. Staff Presentation Arlo Schumann, Planner, discussed the project site location and noted it is within the Harmony Corridor (HC) zone district. He stated the approved project consists of 116 units and 197 off-street parking spaces in a garage and noted the project received vested rights in December of 2017, though there has been no construction activity related to the project since. He stated staff approved two vested rights extensions in 2020 and 2021, and the Planning and Zoning Commission approved vested rights extensions in 2022 and 2024. Any future rights extensions will require Commission approval. Schumann outlined the criteria for the extension: that the project must meet all current applicable standards in Land Use Code Articles II, III, IV, and V, must not be detrimental to the public good, and must meet one of two criteria: either the applicant has been diligent in constructing the required engineering improvements or, due to other extraordinary and exceptional situations unique to the property, completing all engineering improvements would result in unusual and exceptional practical difficulties or undue hardship upon the applicant. Applicant Presentation Sam Coutts, Ripley Design, noted the Land Use Code does not contain a maximum number of vested rights extensions allowed. He provided information as to how the project team has ensured the project complies with the newly adopted foundational Land Use Code and noted staff concurred with the conclusion that it complies. Coutts outlined the public improvements that are going to be required for the project and discussed the practical difficulties related to the culvert extension that is needed given its operating window and construction sequencing. Coutts noted Fort Collins does not have a definition for an undue hardship in the Land Use Code, but it could include things such as unseen regulatory changes, economic hardship beyond any normal market fluctuations, physical site constraints, or an act of God, which did occur in this case with the COVID pandemic. Coutts noted the property has remained undeveloped and granting the vested rights extension would not change that. Additionally, the property is well-maintained and there are existing bike and pedestrian facilities along the frontage. ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 1 DRA F T Packet Pg. 6 2/20/25 - MINUTES Page 3 Coutts stated there is no downside to extending the vested rights and stated any other project would still have the same difficulties and would not be completed any more quickly. He noted there is a potential buyer for the site who is interested in a 55+ development, though they will require these vested rights to be in place to move forward. Staff Analysis Schumann noted the foundational Land Use Code adoption included changes that were structural to the organization of the Code, though many of the standards were the same as those in the previous Land Use Code. He stated staff found the following in its evaluation of the vested rights extension request: it complies with the applicable procedural and administrative requirements of Article VI of the Land Use Code; therefore, staff recommends approval of the vested rights extension. Commission Questions Vice Chair Sass asked if the ditch company has changed its patterns since 2017. Ben Massimino, developer, replied he was not aware of any changes. Vice Chair Sass asked if the required Harmony Road improvements are in alignment with the overall Master Street Plan build-out. Frickey replied in the affirmative and stated the Harmony Road plans have not changed since the original approval of the project in 2017. Chair Stackhouse stated her understanding that the infrastructure improvements need to occur approximately concurrently with the development itself for the project to be viable. She also stated her understanding that given the current interest rate environment, that it is unlikely, that the project will be completed, which is why an alternative buyer is being sought. She asked if that was a fair assessment. Massimino replied in the affirmative and stated current interest rates would make a multi-family project not viable at this time. He stated selling to a new developer for a 55+ project could be viable as those rents are traditionally higher than a market-rate multi-family use. Public Input David Ramsey, Fairway Estates Property Owners Association President, stated no hardships have been presented that justify the delay in this project as other projects have moved on during this time period. He stated the property owner has taken down references to the Brick Stone Apartments plans on its website and has added an advertisement for a retail storefront and office space, which was never discussed. He requested the Commission not grant the vested rights extension as the developer does not seem to have any intention of developing that plan. Applicant Response Coutts stated commercial realtors have a tendency to run images of projects that have yet to be completed, and noted any purchaser would be well aware a change of use would require approval by the Commission. Massimino stated the site has been under contract three times, and the vested rights extension deadline has made it too risky for buyers to move forward. He stated starting new projects has been difficult over the past months due to inflation, interest rates, and an oversupply of housing. Commission Deliberation Commissioner York thanked Mr. Ramsey for his comments and concerns and concurred that having the vested rights makes the sale of the property more viable. However, he noted the Commission’s decision must be based on the Code and whether or not a hardship exists. Vice Chair Sass outlined the Code language related to the extraordinary or exceptional situations unique to ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 1 DRA F T Packet Pg. 7 2/20/25 - MINUTES Page 4 the property. He stated interest rates, inflation, and COVID have been universal and are not unique to developing a property. Commissioner Peel asked if the drainage ditch timeline is an unusual, exceptional practical difficulty. Vice Chair Sass noted there are ditches that run during the same timeline all over the community and stated it does add complexity to construction projects, but it is not unique. Commissioner York concurred that the ditch issue is not unique or exceptional for this property. Commissioner Shepard stated one of the origins of this standard came from the State legislature and had to do with ghost subdivisions that did not have public improvements. He stated he does not see the downside in extending the vested rights and the public does not gain by expiring the project. He stated he would support the extension but understands the frustration. He also suggested a maximum number of extensions may be worth including in the Code. Vice Chair Sass reiterated the Code language related to an exceptional and extraordinary circumstance. He stated that while it may not be harmful to extend the vested rights, the extension may not be in compliance with the Code. He noted the roadway improvements were known as was the ditch situation. Chair Stackhouse noted the Commission heard the same argument for the extension it granted last year. She stated she would only be comfortable with one more extension as it may help to provide some predictability for the existing homeowners in the area. Commissioner York concurred and noted the Code does not include a maximum number of extensions. Additionally, the Commission approved the extension with the same information last year. He questioned how the project could be moved forward without an additional extension next year. Vice Chair Sass stated he does not believe that should be a consideration. He stated he would like to encourage housing as it is needed; however, extending these rights sets a precedent and he does not believe there are circumstances unique to the property that justify the extension. Commissioner Peel asked staff if they make decisions about extraordinary hardships solely on the property. Frickey replied the vested rights extension review looked at the project and what factors were leading to the project being stalled. He stated the condition of an irrigation ditch running along a major six-lane arterial is somewhat unusual. Vice Chair Sass noted that the situation has existed since the property was purchased and reiterated there are stormwater ditches all throughout the community. Commissioner Peel stated this is a difficult decision as she does not like government to make things more difficult for people and housing is needed; however, this may not rise to the Code requirements. Commissioner Shepard commented on a church project that was granted an extension seven times and stated those arguments were equally as non-compelling. He stated the standard is written in a manner that is quite strict; however, it could be interpreted as it has been in the past. He reiterated there is nothing to gain by expiring the project. Vice Chair Sass expressed concern the project is being advertised as not what was approved and stated a line needs to be drawn somewhere. Chair Stackhouse concurred a line needs to be drawn, but there is a question as to where. She stated she is not comfortable with indefinite extensions and suggested considering it for one more year with a more critical examination if it returns next year. Commissioner York stated he would be comfortable with one more extension with a goal of including a ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 1 DRA F T Packet Pg. 8 2/20/25 - MINUTES Page 5 maximum number of extensions in the Code during that time. Commissioner Peel stated it is the job of the Commission to determine whether the standards are upheld. Vice Chair Sass reiterated his opinion that there are no unique and exceptional circumstances. Frickey noted there would need to be some analysis to ensure other issues are not being created by amending the Code section related to the number of extensions allowed. Vice Chair Sass made a motion that the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Commission deny the requested one year vested rights extension for Brick Stone Apartments on Harmony FDP170006, finding that the development does not comply with Land Use Code Section 6.3.11(e)(4) due to the extraordinary and exceptional situations unique to the property, completing all the engineering improvements results in unusual and exceptional practical difficulties or undue hardship on the applicant because those are not unique and extraordinary. Except as stated, the Commission further finds that the application otherwise met the requirements for an extension as stated in the staff report provided for this item. The decision is based upon the agenda materials, the information and materials presented during the work session and this hearing, and the Commission discussion on this item. Commissioner Peel seconded the motion. Yeas: Peel and Sass. Nays: York, Shepard, and Stackhouse. THE MOTION FAILED. Commissioner York made a motion that the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Commission approve the requested one year vested rights extension for Brick Stone Apartments on Harmony FDP170006, finding that the extension would not be detrimental to the public good, the development plan complies with all applicable development standards as contained in Articles III and V, and zone district standards as contained in Articles II and IV, at the time of the application for the extension, and extraordinary and exceptional situations unique to the property exist, including the Harmony Road extensions and turn lanes with the constraints on the timeline for construction, such that completing all engineering improvements would result in unusual and exceptional practical difficulties or undue hardship upon the applicant. This decision is based upon the agenda materials, the information and materials presented during the work session and this hearing, and the Commission discussion on this item. Further, this Commission hereby adopts all the information, analysis, findings of fact, and conclusions regarding the modification of standard contained in the staff report, including the agenda materials for this hearing. Commissioner Shepard seconded the motion. Yeas: York, Shepard, and Stackhouse. Nays: Sass and Peel. THE MOTION CARRIED. 4.ROOTED IN COMMUNITY, URBAN FOREST STRATEGIC PLAN This is a request for a Recommendation to the City Council regarding adoption of the Urban Forest Strategic Plan as a component of City Plan. As Fort Collins’ first Urban Forest Strategic Plan, the proposed plan will align and guide future growth strategies for sustaining and growing a healthy and resilient urban forest for the people of Fort Collins and benefit STAFF: Staff Presentation Kendra Boot, City Forester, stated this is the first urban forest strategic plan the community has had. She ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 1 DRA F T Packet Pg. 9 2/20/25 - MINUTES Page 6 stated the Plan sets a 20-year vision for Fort Collins’ urban forest, including both public and private trees within the growth management area. She commented on the benefits of trees in the community and summarized the process that went into developing the Plan. Boot noted the Plan is heavily aligned with the City-wide 2024 Strategic Plan. Boot noted the City-wide canopy coverage area is about 13.7%, and adding in the growth management area reduces that number to 12.6%. She also noted the canopy has grown by 4% since 2011. Boot commented on the ways in which trees support the shift to active modes and discussed the use of prioritization to plant trees for positive outcomes. Boot outlined the seven growth strategies in the Plan and stated each one has a set of foundational and transformational initiatives. Boot noted staff is seeking a recommendation to Council and is recommending adoption of the Plan as a component of City Plan. Commission Questions Commissioner Peel asked why the southwest corner of the city is designated as a low priority. Boot replied natural areas, parks, and agricultural fields were considered not plantable space, though priorities will change as the canopy gets larger in that area. Vice Chair Sass asked if there is a coverage goal that is attempting to be achieved with the Plan. Boot replied a canopy cover goal was specifically not identified, primarily because there have been standards in place to help support canopy growth in the community for quite some time. Vice Chair Sass asked if there are different recommended regulations on public developed properties versus private developed properties. Boot replied the City tries to lead by example and mitigates trees as part of capital improvement projects as would be done as part of commercial developments. Commissioner York asked how this Plan works or conflicts with promoting photovoltaic energy generation in the built environment. Boot replied the Plan does not specifically speak to solar panels; however, there have been conversations with staff around ‘right tree, right place.’ Additionally, the Plan focuses on opportunities for education and outreach. Commissioner York noted there may be a conflict with some of the solar panels being placed in new developments once newly planted trees reach their ultimate heights. Commissioner Shepard asked about the FTE situation in the Forestry Department. Boot replied there are currently 17 employees that care for 60,000 public trees along streets, in parks, on golf courses, et cetera, and the department did ask for three additional FTE’s plus some additional maintenance equipment in the last budget cycle, though that was not funded. Commissioner Peel asked if there have been conversations about how increasing the tree canopy interferes with cell service. Boot replied there have been conversations about that topic, particularly with the small cell towers that are going up throughout the community. She stated those cell towers are being strategically placed around the existing canopy. Public Input None. Commission Deliberation Commissioner Shepard commended the Plan stating it is long overdue and noted that while the Land Use Code does a good job of requiring development to provide trees, this Plan should help fill the gaps in other areas and will hopefully lead to various funding sources. ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 1 DRA F T Packet Pg. 10 2/20/25 - MINUTES Page 7 Vice Chair Sass stated the City has the opportunity to lead by example and stated he hopes the Plan can assist with that. Chair Stackhouse concurred the Plan is sound and aspirational. Commissioner Shepard stated allowing developers to build medians in non-arterials would add to the tree canopy in the public space. Vice Chair Sass suggested the Commission encourage the Plan not be allowed to stall after its adoption and suggested Council put forth some additional funding to provide some forward momentum. Chair Stackhouse noted there are other plans that also need additional funding. Commissioner Shepard commented on some possible revenue sources, including sports betting, casino gambling, an increased lodging tax, and using a portion of the Art in Public Places capital tax for trees in public places. Commissioner Peel suggested exploring public/private partnerships and grants. Chair Stackhouse suggested the following language: as a matter of principle, we encourage the Council to make an aligned fiscal commitment to this Plan and all strategic plans it adopts, including the use of private/pubic partnerships, grants, and donations.’ Vice Chair Sass made a motion that the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that City Council adopt the Rooted in Community Urban Forest Strategic Plan as a component of City Plan, requesting that Council make an aligned fiscal commitment for this Plan, as well as all plans, to keep the momentum of this Plan and all plans, moving forward, potentially utilizing funding sources such as lodging taxes, gambling funds, public/private partnerships, or a break down of the Art in Public Places capital tax. The proposed Rooted in Community Urban Forest Strategic Plan effectively will align and guide future growth strategies for sustaining and growing a healthy and resilient urban forest for the people of the city of Fort Collins for the benefit and the greater community as a whole, and/or provide seven recommended growth strategies to support and maximize the community benefits that arise from fostering a healthy urban tree canopy, and outlines the current state of the urban forest emphasizing why trees are an important component of our community’s infrastructure and identifies key opportunities to continue improving the urban tree canopy for generations to come. This decision is based upon the agenda materials, the information and materials presented during the work session and this hearing, and the Commission discussion on this item. Further, this Commission hereby adopts all the information, analysis, findings of fact, and conclusions regarding the proposed Rooted in Community Urban Forest Strategic Plan contained in the staff report, including the agenda materials for this hearing. Commissioner York seconded the motion. Commissioner York asked if Commissioner Shepard’s suggestion related to Art in Public Places was to show an example of how funding could be set up, not to use a portion of those funds. Commissioner Shepard clarified his recommendation was to fund a ‘trees in public places’ program with an additional percentage. Chair Stackhouse suggested using ‘such as’ or ‘including but not limited to,’ and keeping the language broader. Vice Chair Sass restated his motion as follows: Vice Chair Sass made a motion that the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that City Council adopt the Rooted in Community Urban Forest Strategic Plan as a ITEM 1, ATTACHMENT 1 DRA F T Packet Pg. 11 2/20/25 - MINUTES Page 8 component of City Plan, requesting that Council make an aligned fiscal commitment for this Plan, as well as all plans, to keep the momentum of this Plan and all plans, moving forward.

The proposed junior high school expansion is Phase 2 of a two-phase expansion that anticipates ultimate enrollment of 384 students and 30-35 staff members. The proposed plan connects two existing buildings – the initial Phase 1 reuse of an existing office building at 1825 Sharp Point Dr., and the proposed reuse of a sister building to the south, at 1901 Sharp Point Dr., with a new 17,240 square feet (SF) building expansion that spans the vacated Riverbend Ct. area, connecting the two buildings into one larger structure totaling 55,640 SF. The plan shows queuing and drop-off lanes and a total of 138 parking spaces, exceeding the City’s standard of 32 spaces for both phases. The plan includes handicap parking, bicycle parking, walkways, a trash enclosure designed with compatible architectural materials, and parking lot lighting that comports with City requirements to prevent glare and spillover lighting. The applicant’s narrative describing the school’s proposal is attached. Below is shown the overall site and landscape plan for the site. Packet Pg. 14 P&Z Agenda Item #2 SPA250001 | Liberty Common Junior High School – Phase 2 April 17, 2025 | Page 3 of 10 Back to Top The City’s review of charter schools is governed by State statute. The criteria for review are more general than the City’s Land Use Code standards, and a degree of interpretation is necessary. Staff’s review of the proposed school reflects established practice, which does not evaluate compliance with Land Use Code standards per se. Rather, plans are evaluated based on the requirements outlined below. 1.State Requirements for City Review Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended (C.R.S.), govern the City’s review of public charter school development plans, in two specific Sections. These supersede the City’s typical processes for development plan review. •Section 22-32-124, C.R.S. specifically governs charter school reviews with the following pertinent provisions: o the process of City review: the Planning and Zoning Commission may review and comment on the plan to the PSD Board of Education, but it must do so, if at all, within 30 days of a development plan submittal. o The basis for City review: the proposed site shall conform to the adopted plan of the community insofar as is feasible. •Section 31-23-209, C.R.S. generally governs all public facilities with the following pertinent provision: o “no public building shall be constructed or authorized in a city until the location, character, and extent thereof has been submitted for approval by the commission [the Planning and Zoning Commission].” Verbatim excerpts from the statutes are attached. 2.Land Use Code Requirements The Land Use Code incorporates the statutory requirements above into Sections 6.2.3(F) and 6.11.2(Q) under the Site Plan Advisory Review Process (“SPAR”). Following are pertinent excerpts for convenient reference: “6.2.3(F)(1) Site Plan Advisory Review. The Site Plan Advisory Review process requires the submittal and approval of a site development plan that describes the location, character, and extent of improvements to parcels owned or operated by public entities. In addition, with respect to public and charter schools, the review also has as its purpose, as far as is feasible, that the proposed school facility conforms to the City's Comprehensive Plan.” “6.11.2 Site Plan Advisory Review Procedures (Q) Standards: [LUC standards are] Not applicable, and in substitution thereof, an application for a Site Plan Advisory Review shall comply with the following criteria: 1) The site location for the proposed use shall be consistent with the land use designation described by the City Structure Plan Map, which is an element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2) The site development plan shall conform to architectural, landscape and other design standards and guidelines adopted by the applicant's governing body. Absent adopted design standards and guidelines, the design character of the site development plan shall be consistent with the stated purpose of the respective land use designation as set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan. 3) The site development plan shall identify the level of functional and visual impacts to public rights- of-way, facilities and abutting private land caused by the development, including, but not limited to, streets, sidewalks, utilities, lighting, screening and noise, and shall mitigate such impacts to the extent reasonably feasible.

The site is located along Sharp Point Drive, a 2-lane collector street with attached sidewalks on the west, and Poudre Trail acting as an enhanced walk/trail on the east site. The site has mature trees and landscaping along Sharp Point Dr., Canton Ct. and March Ct, as well as the west side of the site. Existing parking lots are situated between the building and the street to the east, and to the west property line, creating double- sided buildings with access from both front and back. Riverbend Court, while vacated as public right of way, still exists and is being used to access to Liberty Common-owned properties. 2.Surrounding Zoning and Land Use North South East West Zoning POL – Public Open Lands I - Industrial POL – Public Open Lands E – Employment and I - Industrial Land Use Cottonwood Hollows Natural Area Offices, light industrial, business park Cottonwood Hollows Natural Area Liberty Common Elementary and other properties; offices, light industrial, business park Packet Pg. 16 P&Z Agenda Item #2 SPA250001 | Liberty Common Junior High School – Phase 2 April 17, 2025 | Page 5 of 10 Back to Top 2.Public Outreach A.

Packet Pg. 17 P&Z Agenda Item #2 SPA250001 | Liberty Common Junior High School – Phase 2 April 17, 2025 | Page 6 of 10 Back to Top 4.Staff Evaluation A.LOCATION The City’s Comprehensive Plan, City Plan, designates this site within the “R&D Flex” land use place type as part of the overall long-term framework of future land use in the City. The site is currently zoned Industrial (I). Schools are not a permitted use in the I - Industrial zone district, and are not generally considered consistent with traditional community planning principles which prioritize locating schools as highly visible focal and gathering points in residential neighborhoods. However, the R&D Flex place type as envisioned, can be consistent with both the Industrial zoning district and the Employment zoning district; and the Employment zone does list schools as a permitted use. City Plan envisions the evolution over time of both the Employment and Industrial districts toward the new R&D Flex ideas which came out of the 2019 City Plan process and is described as: •“A district that accommodates a wide range of business types and sizes, allowing the City to remain flexible in the types of employers and employment uses it can support and attract.” •“Primary uses of the district to be administrative, engineering and/or scientific research, design, or experimentation, offices, breweries, manufacturing, warehouses, wholesaling, and business incubator space.” •“Secondary uses of the district include limited distribution and logistics, convenience retail, commercial services, outdoor storage, and other uses related to the principal uses.” The vision of this new place type can be described as a place with a wider range and blend of uses. Although not explicitly mentioned under City Plan’s R&D Flex designation, staff believes that as a primary use in the E zone, the location and expansion of this school is consistent with the land use designation as described in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the fact that this second phase is an extension of the existing Liberty Common school campus reinforces the consistency with the R&D Flex designation. B. CHARACTER Several elements are taken into account when considering character of any impacts to the community, and any mitigation thereof. To staff’s knowledge, the school district does not hold themselves to any particular design standards or guidelines, and therefor the plans should be consistent with the stated land use designation as identified in City Plan – noted above as the “R&D Flex” district. Staff evaluated several character-related elements of the proposed development in light of that district designation and its intent. 1.Building Placement A fundamental concept in the City’s planning and development system is that buildings must be placed in direct relation to street sidewalks, with no intervening vehicle use areas. Multiple purposes behind this concept involve community character, with an emphasis on streets as attractive public space; walkable neighborhoods and districts; and visual interest and pedestrian comfort generally. Parking lots and drives are to be fitted into development sites behind or beside buildings where they don’t impact the visual and pedestrian environment of the city to the same degree. This project is reusing and adapting two existing buildings (one of which was approved in the Phase 1 project) and building a connecting structure that protrudes north and extend towards the street, as well as removing one of the parking lots along the street, adding substantially more architectural presence along the street, which is consistent with City Plan. This provides a differentiation in building frontage as well as varied heights and rooflines. In continuation of a recommendation from the Phase 1 project, staff recommends that the existing northeast parking lot and adjacent electrical transformer, located between the Phase 1 building and the street, be screened with an architectural wall, or some type of solid fencing. Packet Pg. 18 P&Z Agenda Item #2 SPA250001 | Liberty Common Junior High School – Phase 2 April 17, 2025 | Page 7 of 10 Back to Top In this instance, staff supports the placement of the building as proposed, provided that the existing parking lot is screened with architecturally designed walls or fences that continue the building architecture along the street and sidewalks, in combination with landscaping. In addition, with the main entrance to the building on the south/west side, ensure appropriate walkways that connect pedestrians from Sharp Point, Canton Court, and March Court to the building in the most direct and safe way feasible. Staff recommends that the Commission provide a comment to the governing body that these features are important and should be included in the final plans and development to occur on-site. 2. Architecture The existing one-story buildings both have long, flat-roofed designs, without greatly-modulated proportions. Windows are distributed along the façades. Building materials appear to be a ribbed concrete façade with a minimal entry features along the buildings’ street facing facades. The proposed central addition will marry these two existing buildings to one another, and add a taller (2+ story) architectural feature that would provide both additional depth and varied height to the overall larger structure. The primary departure from the city’s comprehensive approach to town-like development would be the lack of a primary entrance or front door to the school along Sharp Point Drive – facing and interfacing with that public streetscape. The main entrance to the school is on the “back” of the building, where the student drop off and most of the parking is situated. The front façade offers a small plaza area along the northwest elevation, which at least serves as a focal point, if not a true front door – the plaza contains some areas for shrub & flower beds, a trio of lighted flagpoles, and double sets of doors that appear to provide access to the 2-story gymnasium. These aspects are combined to create building form, scale, and character that are generally consistent with City Plan and compatible with the purpose of the R&D Flex place type. 3.Landscaping Due to the age of development of these sites, this project area contains a large number of mature trees and plantings. A Tree Mitigation plan is included in the Landscape Plan set (Attachment 4), which identifies the trees that would have to be removed to accommodate this proposed site plan, which incorporates the vacated Riverbend Court and the street trees that were associated with that streetscape. In total 27 trees are proposed for removal. Staff noted a couple of areas adjacent to the cul-de-sacs on either side, where additional shrubs and plantings could help to screen parking areas, and strongly recommends that the site meet the City’s standards for plant coverage; full tree stocking and street trees; use of low water, native, and/or xeric plants. Native plantings are highly encouraged adjacent to and near our natural areas and along the Poudre River to help development better integrate into the landscape and vistas. The existing parking in front of the 1901 Sharp Point building will be removed and reclaimed for the use of stormwater detention areas, and a proposed raingarden and landscaped area. In redlines and comments to the applicant, staff has recommended a number of changes to the detention, raingardens, and plantings in that area that require revision prior to final plans to bring it into conformance with city engineering standards – but would not detract from the aesthetics of the area. Non-functional turf was a subject of recent state legislation, and the state, and recently-updated city codes, now indicate that high irrigation turf types (such as Kentucky Bluegrass) must be primarily restricted to sport fields only, and that other lower-water seed mixes must be used in all other landscape areas. Staff is happy to work with the school to find a seed mix that matches the function of the various spaces that are currently indicated for turf. No changes have been proposed to the existing parking lots to integrate interior landscaping islands and plantings. Staff recommends that the Commission provide a comment to the governing body that these features and revisions are important and the City would expect the noted revisions be incorporated into the final plans. Packet Pg. 19 P&Z Agenda Item #2 SPA250001 | Liberty Common Junior High School – Phase 2 April 17, 2025 | Page 8 of 10 Back to Top C.EXTENT The site development plan shall identify the level of functional and visual impacts to public rights-of-way, facilities and abutting private land caused by the development, including, but not limited to, streets, sidewalks, utilities, lighting, screening and noise, and shall mitigate such impacts to the extent reasonably feasible. 1.Transportation The development plan submittal includes a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) and separate memo addressing analysis of signalization at Sharp Point Drive and Prospect Road, which includes a review of anticipated vehicles to/from the site; reviews operations for level of service; analyzes queuing for pick-up and drop-off; and provides recommendations. Pertinent aspects of staff’s review of the TIS include: •The project is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. Phase 1 and Phase 2 will generate significant additional traffic, particularly during peak hours. •To improve the operation of the Sharp Point/March intersection the City Traffic Engineering agrees with the recommendation to prohibit parking on March Court and stripe separate left-turn and right-turn lanes and that other intersections can maintain their current configuration. •Acceptable levels of service are generally achieved for bicycle and transit modes. Some areas may not meet acceptable levels of service for pedestrians due to factors like continuity and street crossings. •The study assumes that 70% of traffic will come from Prospect Road down Sharp Point Drive while the remaining portion coming from the south through the Bucking Horse neighborhood. •The study recommends that the existing elementary and proposed junior high stagger start times by 20 minutes. The applicant indicated during Phase 1 reviews that they will implement this recommendation. •The applicant will need to obtain access and excavation permits for work in the public right-of-way, which will require a final set of plans be submitted and approved. •With Phase 1, Staff strongly encouraged the applicant to consider detaching the sidewalk along Sharp Point Drive per the jointly adopted Larimer County/City standards; however, upon further review, that would also entail the removal of numerous large mature trees, which staff feels like would contribute to a negative overall outcome along that streetscape and to pedestrian safety, real and perceived. •Staff is strongly encouraging a proportional share for an enhanced pedestrian crossing from March Court across Sharp Point Drive to the Poudre Trail to meet pedestrian level of service requirements, and provide a safe route to school for children and families that may choose to walk or cycle on the trail. •The signal analysis memo does indicate this intersection at Prospect will meet peak hour warrants, and staff will work with the school on requirements for mitigation. Staff recommends that the Commission provide a comment that final plans will address necessary technical design for work in City-owned right-of-way, as well as the enhanced Sharp Point pedestrian crossing, and mitigation for the needed Prospect signalization. 2.Environmental This site is located directly south and west of the City’s Prospect Ponds Natural Area, and across from Poudre Trail. There is an existing active Bald Eagle’s nest within the ¼-mile radius that Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) enforces, which will necessitate CPW involvement to ensure that all construction work onsite is performed outside of the nesting season, typically from December 1st through July 31st, and does not resume until nesting is complete. Additional work with and verification through CPW is strongly advised to protect the eagles and ensure no additional restrictions might impact this site. Packet Pg. 20 P&Z Agenda Item #2 SPA25001 | Liberty Common Junior High School - Phase 2 April 17, 2025 | Page 9 of 10 Back to Top 3.Utilities The development plan expands the Liberty Common campus to an additional existing site, spanning the vacated Riverbend Ct. Utilities staff is working with the school to ensure all final utilities and easements sit in the proper places, and that final design of the stormwater facilities and other utilities meets all necessary design standards. Final plans meeting city engineering standards are necessary prior to final approvals and permits for this construction. 4.Lighting A photometric plan was provided as part of the application. Staff strongly encourages review and any needed revisions to the lighting plan to ensure no light spillage onto the adjacent sensitive natural areas, to ensure that light fixtures are fully shielded and down-directional, and to adjust the lighting levels/color temperatures to closely align with the City’s standards to continue our progress towards more dark sky compliant lighting throughout the city. Staff recommends that the Commission provide a comment that lighting be revised to be consistent with current City standards to better protect the night sky and natural habitats, conserve energy, and reflect lighting best practices. 5.Staff Conclusions and Recommendation In evaluating the request for the Liberty Common Junior High School – Phase 2, #SPA250001, Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning commission send a letter to the governing body of the charter school recommending approval of the development plan with the following message: The Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Commission finds that the location, character, and extent of the proposed development plan for the Liberty Common Junior High School – Phase 2 is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and mitigates its functional and visual impacts to streets, sidewalks, utilities, lighting, screening and noise, to the extent reasonably feasible, with the following understanding: 1.Final plans will illustrate the addition of an architectural wall or fence along Sharp Point Drive to screen parking, and provide a more attractive edge to best enhance the character of the development and the streetscape. 2.Pedestrian walkways will be clarified on final plans, and illustrate safe connections to and from the building and adjacent streets. 3.Final plans will reflect updated landscaping to meet the state’s turf restrictions, ensure functionality of the raingardens, and promote water conservation through plant choices; and update lighting plans to incorporate the appropriate color temperature (K) and appropriate fixtures to ensure full cut off and no light spillage to adjacent properties. 4.Final Civil engineering plans for work in the City-owned ROW of Sharp Point Drive, Riverbend Court, and March Court will address vacation of Riverbend Court signage and restriping on March Court. 5.Final Civil engineering plans for stormwater runoff discharge into the City-owned stormwater drainage system will address requirements for water quality treatment. 6.Public improvements to comply with current adopted standards to mitigate additional student-related traffic to the site. Improvements include a proportional contribution to a pedestrian crossing signal at March Court and River Ponds Trail and in mitigation measures related to the traffic impact at Prospect Road. 7.The school will work directly with Colorado Parks and Wildlife on requirements related to construction and site occupancy related to the known eagle’s nest on adjacent lands. Packet Pg. 21 P&Z Agenda Item #2 SPA25001 | Liberty Common Junior High School - Phase 2 April 17, 2025 | Page 10 of 10 Back to Top These issues are typical of issues that are addressed routinely in discussions and plan revisions in Fort Collins’ development review process. 6.Attachments 1.Applicants Narrative 2.Site Plan Title Sheet 3.Site Plan 4.Landscape Plan 5.Architectural Elevations 6.Lighting Plan 7.Traffic Study 8.Neighborhood Meeting Notes 9.Utility Plans 10.Excerpts from Colorado Revised Statues Pertinent to the Proposed School 11.Draft Letter to Governing Commission Packet Pg. 22 Project Information and Design Narrative Liberty Common Junior High School – Phase 2 March 12, 2025 The project consists of the change of use, change of occupancy and interior tenant finish renovations to change the existing building located at 1901 Sharp Point Drive from an office building into a school, Liberty Common Junior High School. The project also includes the construction of an addition connecting this building to 1825 Sharp Point Drive. Site work as part of this project includes diversion of storm water flows away from the addition, creation of new stormwater detention and water quality features, re-routing public access and emergency access around the building, and relocating utilities around the building footprint. The interior program spaces will include construction of classrooms, administrative space, a cafeteria, a regulation-sized gymnasium and various support spaces to accommodate 330 junior high school students. This is the second SPAR submittal for Liberty Common Junior High School. Phase 1 included the change of use and tenant finish work in 1825 Sharp Point Drive. Construction is underway on Phase 1 with an anticipated finish and owner move in this summer, ahead of school opening for the 2025/2026 school year. Earlier this year, City Council approved the vacation of the public ROW in Riverbend Court. Part of this project will include re-dedicating public access, emergency access, drainage and utility easements as necessary for the new site layout. Our team is grateful for the support of City staff who have all been very collaborative in developing the site design and project solutions shown in this submittal. We look forward to continued collaboration in the development of this project.

The Prospect/Sharp Point intersection will also meet peak hour signal warrants in the short range (2029) background and total futures. Peak hour signal warrants are provided in Appendix B. These evaluations were conducted with one lane on each street. According to the Fort Collins Master Street Plan, Prospect Road is classified as a four-lane arterial street. With the additional through lanes on Prospect Road, the peak hour signal warrant will be met. It is acknowledged that the turning movement traffic counts during the afternoon school dismissal time at the Prospect/Sharp Point intersection were not obtained. However, based upon the forecasts in the Liberty Common Intermediate Transportation Impact Study, it is likely that the peak hour signal warrant would be met at this time period also. The Prospect/Sharp Point intersection is approximately 1060 feet east of the Prospect/Prospect Parkway signalized intersection. This distance does not meet City of Fort Collins signal spacing criteria. Fort Collins traffic operations is considering this signal due to the connectivity that was created from Drake Road to Prospect Road across the railroad tracks. It is concluded that the peak hour signal warrant is met at the Prospect/Sharp Point intersection with the current counted (2023) traffic and the year 2029 background traffic.

INTRODUCTION This Intermediate Transportation Impact Study (ITIS) addresses the capacity, geometric, and control requirements for the proposed Liberty Common Middle School Expansion. The proposed Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site is located in the buildings at 1845 Sharp Point Drive (Phase 1) and 1901 Sharp Point Drive (Phase 2) in Fort Collins, Colorado. During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made with the project developer (LCS Building Corporation), project planning consultant (Jensen Laplante Development), the project architect/civil engineering consultant (Neenan Archistruction), and Fort Collins Traffic Engineering. This study generally conforms to the format set forth in the Fort Collins ITIS Guidelines in the “Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards” (LCUASS). A scoping discussion was held with the Fort Collins Traffic Engineering staff. The Transportation Impact Study Base Assumptions form and related documents are provided in Appendix A. The study involved the following steps: - Collect physical, traffic, and development data; - Perform trip generation, trip distribution, and trip assignment; - Determine peak hour traffic volumes; - Conduct capacity and operational level of service analyses on key intersections; - Analyze signal warrants; - Conduct level of service evaluation of pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes of transportation THE INITIAL SUBMITTAL OF THE TRANSPORTATION IMPACT STUDY IS NOT SIGNED/STAMPED. THE FINAL TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY WILL BE SIGNED/ STAMPED REFLECTING COMMENTS FROM THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS. ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7 Packet Pg. 53 II. EXISTING CONDITIONS The location of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site is shown in Figure 1. It is important that a thorough understanding of the existing conditions be presented. Land Use Land uses in the area are primarily commercial and industrial. There are commercial and industrial uses to the north, south, and west of the site. The Bucking Horse residential neighborhood is approximately 1,700 feet to the south of the site. The center of Fort Collins lies to the west of the proposed Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site. Streets The primary streets near the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site are Sharp Point Drive, March Court, Riverbend Court, and Canton Court. Figure 2 shows a schematic of the existing geometry at the Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections. Sharp Point Drive is east of (adjacent to) the proposed Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site. It is a north-south street classified as a collector street on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. Currently, Sharp Point Drive has a two-lane cross section with limited parking on both sides of the street. Sharp Point Drive is 34 feet wide (edge of asphalt to edge of asphalt). There is no parking allowed on the east side of the street from the Riverbend parking lot to just south of March Court. At the Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections, Sharp Point Drive is set up with all northbound and southbound movements in a single lane. The posted speed on Sharp Point Drive is 25 mph. March Court is north of (adjacent to) the proposed Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site. Riverbend Court is south of (adjacent to) the proposed Phase 1 of Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site. Canton Court is south of (adjacent to) the proposed Phase 2 of Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site. March Court, Riverbend Court, and Canton Court are local streets. March Court is approximately 250 feet long with a cul-de-sac at the west end and 34 feet wide. Riverbend Court is approximately 350 feet long with a cul-de-sac at the west end and 34 feet wide. Canton Court is approximately 260 feet long with a cul-de-sac at the west end and 34 feet wide. Existing Traffic Recent morning and afternoon school peak hour (7:00-8:00am & 2:30-3:30pm) traffic volumes at the Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/ Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections are shown in Figure 3.

Raw traffic data is provided in Appendix B. Since counts were obtained on different days, the traffic volumes were averaged/balanced and are shown in Figure 4. Existing Operation The Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections were evaluated, and the peak hour operation is displayed in Table 1. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix C. Since school traffic peaks within a 20-30 minute time period, the calculated peak hour factors for the individual traffic movements were used in the operational analyses. The Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections are currently operating acceptably with existing control and geometry in the morning and afternoon school peak hours. The intersections were evaluated using the unsignalized intersection techniques provided in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), 6th Edition. A description of level of service for unsignalized intersections from the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), 6th Edition and a table showing the Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards (Intersections) are also provided in Appendix C. Acceptable operation is considered to be at level of service D overall and level of service F for any approach leg at unsignalized intersections. Observations of Existing Traffic Patterns Observations were conducted during the school peak hours for the existing Liberty Common Elementary School. Liberty Common Elementary School has three drop- off/pick-up locations. One is in the front of the school in the main parking lot exiting to Sharp Point Drive via March Court, one is on the south side of the school that is accessed from March Court and is a one-way access exiting to Midpoint Drive, and the third is located on the west side of the school that is accessed from a driveway to/from Midpoint Drive. During the morning peak hour, there was minor queuing of vehicles on Sharp Point Drive at the driveway to the main parking lot in front of the school. Many parents would park their vehicles along both sides of Sharp Point Drive (in allowed areas) and along March Court and walk their children to the school. Some parents would park in the Riverbend Trailhead parking lot and walk their children across Sharp Point Drive. There is a planned rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) crosswalk to be constructed just north of March Court. This will provide a safe crossing of Sharp Point Drive. The morning peak hour drop-off period was approximately 20 minutes. During the afternoon peak hour, vehicles would queue along both sides of Sharp Point Drive waiting to access the main parking lot in front of the school. Prior to dismissal, the southbound queue was 20-25 vehicles long. There was also a queue on March Court (westbound) to access the pick-up area to the south of the school. This queue spilled out ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7 Packet Pg. 58 7:00-8:00am/2:30-3:30pm AVERAGED/BALANCED RECENT PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC Figure 4 DELICH ASSOCIATES Liberty Common Middle School Expansion TIS, October 2024 Page 7 0/4 242/161 0/11/2 0/0 13/45 142/118 23/18 137/11343/35 100/47 March Ct.

Parking is prohibited along the west side of Sharp Point Drive between 2:45-3:15pm so that vehicles can queue when waiting for access to the main parking lot in front of the school and waiting to turn onto March Court. Along the east side of Sharp Point Drive, vehicles would queue in the prohibited parking areas, which are from the entrance to the Riverbend Trailhead parking lot to approximately 500 feet to the south (March Court). Some parents would park in the Riverbend Trailhead parking lot with some vehicles not using designated parking stalls. Vehicle were parked on either side of the access to the Riverbend Trailhead parking lot leaving only enough room for a single vehicle to use the access. This caused congestion within the Riverbend Trailhead parking lot. Some vehicles parked along March Court very close to the Sharp Point/March intersection. The vehicles parked along both sides of Sharp Point Drive south of March Court. This extended beyond Riverbend Court. Along the west side of Sharp Point Drive, the vehicles parked close to the Sharp Point/March intersection caused line of sight issues for vehicles egressing from March Court. In addition to this, the parked/queued vehicles along both sides of Sharp Point Drive caused significantly narrow travel lanes on Sharp Point Drive. The narrow travel lanes appeared to cause some driver discomfort. The afternoon peak hour pick-up period was approximately 25-30 minutes. Pedestrian Facilities There are attached sidewalks (4 foot width) adjacent to the west side of Sharp Point Drive. Along the east side of Sharp Point Drive is the Poudre Trail sidewalk (10 foot width). There are attached sidewalks (4 foot width) along both sides of March Court, Riverbend Court, and Canton Court. It was requested that an inventory of all pedestrian facilities within one mile of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site be conducted. There are sidewalks along all streets within a mile of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site, except for a short break in the sidewalk system on the west side of Sharp Point Drive from the intersection of Midpoint Drive to Canton Court to the north. This section of sidewalk is also missing on the north side of Midpoint Drive for approximately 420 feet. In addition to this, there are no sidewalks along Summit View Drive. The sidewalk system is complete within the Bucking Horse neighborhood to the south and within the Rigden Farm neighborhood south of Drake Road. Pedestrians can use the sidewalks along the east side of Nancy Gray Avenue. There is one flashing beacon pedestrian crosswalk across Drake Road at Illinois Drive. There is access to the Poudre Trail, the Spring Creek Trail, and the Power Trail. There is also access to the trail adjacent to Prospect Road, east of Sharp Point Drive. This trail extends to Summit View Drive. Bicycle Facilities There are bicycle lanes along Prospect Road, east of Sharp Point Drive. There are no bicycle lanes along Prospect Road west of Sharp Point Drive. These bicycle lanes connect to the Poudre Trail. Sharp Point Drive is a collector street that was constructed without bicycle lanes prior to the current City of Fort Collins standards. As Sharp Point Drive transitions into Nancy Gray Avenue to the south, Nancy Gray Avenue has on-street bicycle lanes. ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7 Packet Pg. 61 Transit Facilities Currently, this area of Fort Collins is served by Transfort Route 18. Route 18 operates along Prospect Road, Midpoint Drive, and Sharp Point Drive. There is a transit stop on Sharp Point Drive, just to the north of March Court. ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7 Packet Pg. 62 III. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Phase 1 of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion project is proposed to occupy the office building at 1845 Sharp Point Drive. The proposed student population for Phase 1 is 240 students. The site plan for Phase 1 is shown in Figure 5. Also shown on Figure 5 is the proposed site traffic pattern for the drop-off and pick-up of students. It is proposed that the Building Access be used for ingress vehicles from the north. Riverbend Court would be used for ingress vehicles from the south. All ingress vehicles would proceed to the back of the building for student drop-off/pick-up. The egressing vehicles from the site will use March Court. Phase 2 of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion project is proposed to occupy the office building at 1901 Sharp Point Drive and construct a gymnasium connecting the two buildings. The proposed student population for Phase 2 (full occupancy) is 384 students. The site plan for Phase 2 is shown in Figure 6. Riverbend Court will be vacated with Phase 2 of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion so that a gymnasium can be constructed to join the two buildings. Also shown on Figure 6 is the proposed site traffic pattern for the drop-off and pick-up of students. It is proposed that the Canton Court be used for all ingress vehicles. All ingress vehicles would proceed to the back of the building for student drop-off/pick- up. The egressing vehicles from the site will use March Court. It is recommended and assumed that the start and dismissal times for the proposed middle school and the existing elementary school will be staggered by 20 minutes. Staggering the start and dismissal times will mitigate some of the traffic congestion; particularly at the Sharp Point/March intersection since all elementary and middle school traffic will egress using this intersection. The Phase 1 short range analysis year will be 2026 and the Phase 2 short range analysis year will be 2029. Each short range analysis includes development of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site and an appropriate increase in background traffic due to normal growth and other potential developments in the area. Trip Generation Trip generation is important in considering the impact of a development on the existing and proposed street system. Trip Generation, 11th Edition, ITE was used to determine the trips that would be generated by the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion project. A trip is defined as a one-way vehicle movement from origin to destination. Middle School (Code 522) was used for the land use for the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion project. However, the ITE trip generation rates in the afternoon peak hour were deemed too low. Therefore, adjustments to the afternoon peak hour trip generation were applied. Afternoon peak hour rate from ITE was deemed too small. Adjustment made by using 0.59 (AM Generator (0.74) minus PM Street (0.15)). Table 2 shows the expected trip generation from the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site on a daily and peak hour basis. Phase 1 of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion trip generation resulted in 504 daily trip ends, 161 morning peak hour trip ends, and 142 afternoon peak hour trip ends. Phase 2 of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion trip generation resulted in 806 daily trip ends, 257 morning peak hour trip ends, and 227 afternoon peak hour trip ends.

Figure 7 shows the trip distribution for the Phase 1 short range (2026) and Phase 2 short range (2029) analysis futures. The trip distribution was agreed to by City of Fort Collins staff in the scoping discussions. Trip assignment is how the generated and distributed trips are expected to be loaded on the street system. The assigned trips are the resultant of the trip distribution process. Figure 8 shows the Phase 1 site generated morning and afternoon peak hour traffic assignment at the Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/ Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections. Figure 9 shows the Phase 2 site generated peak hour traffic assignment at the Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections. The Sharp Point/Building Driveway intersection is not shown since all site generated traffic was assumed to be for drop-offs/pick-ups. The Sharp Point/Riverbend intersection is not shown since Riverbend Court will be vacated with Phase 2 of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion. Background Traffic Projections Figure 10 shows the Phase 1 short range (2026) background traffic projections at the Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections. The Building Driveway shows no traffic due to the fact that this building will be unoccupied in preparation of the proposed Liberty Common Middle School. Figure 11 shows the Phase 2 short range (2029) background traffic projections at the Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections. The Sharp Point/Building Driveway intersection is not shown since all site generated traffic was assumed to be for drop-offs/pick-ups. The Sharp Point/Riverbend intersection is not shown since Riverbend Court will be vacated with Phase 2 of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion. Some of the existing traffic for the three office buildings to the southwest of the site was assigned to Canton Court. Background traffic projections for the Phase 1 short range (2026) and Phase 2 short range (2029) future horizons were obtained by increasing the through traffic volumes on Sharp Point Drive by approximately two percent per year. The background traffic growth was agreed to by City of Fort Collins staff in the scoping discussions. Total Traffic Projections Figure 12 shows the Phase 1 short range (2026) total traffic at the Sharp Point/ March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections. Figure 13 shows the Phase 2 short range (2029) total traffic at the Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections. ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7 Packet Pg. 67 Sh a r p P o i n t March Ct.

ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7 Packet Pg. 74 Signal Warrants As a matter of policy, traffic signals are not installed at any location until such time that signal installation warrants are met according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. For the roads in the vicinity of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site, four hour and/or eight hour signal warrants are applicable. These warrants require much data and are applied when the traffic is actually on the area road system. It is acknowledged that peak hour signal warrants should not be applied, but since the peak hour forecasts are readily available in a traffic impact study, it is reasonable to use them to estimate whether other signal warrants may be met. If peak hour signal warrants will not be met at a given intersection, it is reasonable to conclude that it is not likely that other signal warrants would be met. If peak hour signal warrants are met, it merely indicates that further evaluation should occur in the future as the development occurs. However, a judgment can be made that some intersections may meet other signal warrants. None of the stop sign controlled intersections analyzed in this study will meet peak hour signal warrants or signal spacing criteria and will not be signalized. Geometry Figure 14 shows a schematic of the Phase 1 short range (2026) geometry. It is recommended and assumed that parking will be prohibited along March Court. This will allow separate eastbound left-turn and right-turn lanes to be striped on March Court approaching Sharp Point Drive. Since March Court is 34 feet wide, three 10-11 foot lanes can fit within the width of March Court. The separate turning lanes will improve the operation of the Sharp Point/ March intersection. The geometry at the Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/ Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections can remain as it currently exists. Figure 15 shows a schematic of the Phase 2 short range (2029) geometry at the Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections. Operation Analysis Operation analyses were performed at the Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections for the Phase 1 short range (2026) future. Operation analyses were performed at the Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections for the Phase 2 short range (2029) future. Since it is assumed that the Liberty Common Elementary School and Middle School will have staggered start/dismissal times of 20 minutes, the school traffic will be more consistent over the school peak hours rather than peaking in a 20-30 minute time period. Therefore, peak hour factors of 0.70 were used for the eastbound left-turn and right-turn movements at the Sharp Point/March intersection for the Phase 1 short range (2026) and Phase 2 short range (2029) total analyses. In addition to this, peak hour factors of 0.50 were used for the school ingressing movements at the key intersections as observed under the existing conditions.

Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix D. The Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections will meet the Fort Collins operational criteria with stop sign control and existing geometry in the morning and afternoon school peak hours. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 11, the Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections operate in the Phase 2 short range (2029) background traffic future as indicated in Table 4. Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix E. The Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections will meet the Fort Collins operational criteria with stop sign control and existing/recommended geometry in the morning and afternoon school peak hours. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 12, the Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections operate in the Phase 1 short range (2026) total traffic future as indicated in Table 5. Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix F. The Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections will meet the Fort Collins operational criteria with stop sign control and existing/recommended geometry in the morning and afternoon school peak hours. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 13, the Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections operate in the Phase 2 short range (2029) total traffic future as indicated in Table 6. Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix G. The Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections will meet the Fort Collins operational criteria with stop sign control and existing/recommended geometry in the morning and afternoon school peak hours. Pedestrian Level of Service Appendix H shows a map of the area that is within one mile of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site. Based upon observations and the expected attendance from the pedestrian destinations within one mile of the Liberty Commons Schools, the number of students that will walk to/from these areas will likely be small. The Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site is located within an area termed as “School Walking Area,” which sets the level of service threshold at LOS B for all measured factors, except for Visual Interest and Amenity which is LOS C. There will be eight pedestrian destinations within one mile of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site. These are: 1) the residential uses to the northeast of the site (Summit View Drive), 2) the commercial/industrial uses to the west of the site, 3) the EPIC Center to the west of the site, 4) the residential uses to the west of the site, 5) the residential uses (Bucking Horse) to the southwest of the site, 6) the residential uses to the southwest of the site (Joseph Allen Drive), 7) the commercial uses to the south of the site, and 8) the residential uses (Rigden Farm) to the south of the site.

This will provide a safe crossing of Sharp Point Drive. There are attached sidewalks (4 foot width) adjacent to the west side of Sharp Point Drive. Along the east side of Sharp Point Drive is the Poudre Trail sidewalk (10 foot width). There are attached sidewalks (4 foot width) along both sides of March Court, Riverbend Court, and Canton Court. There are sidewalks along all streets within a mile of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site, except for a short break in the sidewalk system on the west side of Sharp Point Drive from the intersection of Midpoint Drive to Canton Court to the north. This section of sidewalk is also missing on the north side of Midpoint Drive for approximately 420 feet. In addition to this, there are no sidewalks along Summit View Drive. The sidewalk system is complete within the Bucking Horse neighborhood to the south and within the Rigden Farm neighborhood south of Drake Road. Pedestrians can use the sidewalks along the east side of Nancy Gray Avenue. There is one flashing beacon pedestrian crosswalk across Drake Road at Illinois Drive. There is access to the Poudre Trail, the Spring Creek Trail, and the Power Trail. There is also access to the trail adjacent to Prospect Road, east of Sharp Point Drive. This trail extends to Summit View Drive. Some of the sidewalks along Prospect Road were built prior to the current standards. Therefore, some of the sidewalks may be considered to be substandard. The LOS evaluation is below: • Directness – The distance ratio to all pedestrian destinations is less than 1.2 (LOS A) using the existing street/sidewalk system. • Continuity – The sidewalk system to all destination areas has no breaks or gaps, except for a short break in the sidewalk system on the west side of Sharp Point Drive and north side of Midpoint Drive. Therefore, destination #2 can only achieve LOS D. These gaps should be completed by the adjacent properties. In addition to this, there are no sidewalks along Summit View Drive. Therefore, destination #1 can only achieve LOS E. Some of the sidewalks along Prospect Road were built prior to current standards and some are built directly adjacent to the streets with no landscaped parkways. Therefore, destination #3 can only achieve LOS C. However, the Spring Creek Trail and the Power Trail are adjacent to destination #3. • Street Crossings – There is a signalized pedestrian crossing for destination #1 at the Prospect/Summit View intersection. However, since there are no sidewalks along Summit View Drive, only LOS C can be achieved for destination #1. The street crossings for destinations #3, #4, #6, #7, and #8 all have adequate (LOS B) signalized pedestrian crosswalks. The street crossings for destinations #2 and #5 have minor street (local/collector) crossings, many of them with stop sign control. There are no crosswalks on Nancy Gray Avenue. Since Liberty Common Middle School is a charter school that draws the student population from all over Fort Collins, it is not likely that the number of pedestrians will exceed the threshold that would require crosswalk treatments. Therefore, LOS B is achieved for all destination areas except for destination #1. • Visual Interest and Amenity – The visual interest and amenity category will be acceptable at LOS B and C for destination areas #2 through #8, since these are active pedestrian areas, which generally have enhanced pedestrian features (large sidewalk widths, landscaping, etc.). Since there are no sidewalks along Summit View Drive, destination #1 can only achieve LOS E. ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7 Packet Pg. 81 • Security – The security category will be acceptable at LOS A and B for destination areas #2 through #8, since these are active pedestrian areas, which generally have good lighting levels and clear lines of sight. Destination #1 can only achieve LOS E since there are no sidewalks along Summit View Drive, which may make pedestrians feel uncomfortable walking along the street. Bicycle Level of Service Appendix H shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site. There will be one bicycle destination within 1320 feet of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site. This is: 1) the Poudre Trail to the east of the site. The Bicycle LOS Worksheet is provided in Appendix H. The base level of service is A and is LOS A for the bicycle destination, since there is a planned rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) crosswalk to be constructed just north of March Court. Transit Level of Service Currently, this area of Fort Collins is served by Transfort Route 18. Route 18 operates along Prospect Road, Midpoint Drive, and Sharp Point Drive. There is a transit stop on Sharp Point Drive, just to the north of March Court. In addition to the Transfort service, Liberty Common will provide school bus service. ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7 Packet Pg. 82 IV. CONCLUSIONS This study assessed the impacts of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site on the street system in the vicinity of the proposed development in the short range (2029) future. As a result of this analysis, the following is concluded: - The development of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. Phase 1 of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion trip generation resulted in 504 daily trip ends, 161 morning peak hour trip ends, and 142 afternoon peak hour trip ends. Phase 2 of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion trip generation resulted in 806 daily trip ends, 257 morning peak hour trip ends, and 227 afternoon peak hour trip ends. - The Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections are currently operating acceptably with existing control and geometry in the morning and afternoon school peak hours. - None of the stop sign controlled intersections analyzed in this study will meet peak hour signal warrants or signal spacing criteria and will not be signalized. - In the Phase 1 short range (2026) future, given development of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site and an increase in background traffic, the Sharp Point/March, Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections will meet the Fort Collins operational criteria with stop sign control and existing/recommended geometry in the morning and afternoon school peak hours. - In the Phase 2 short range (2029) future, given development of the Liberty Common Middle School Expansion site and an increase in background traffic, the Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections will meet the Fort Collins operational criteria with stop sign control and existing/recommended geometry in the morning and afternoon school peak hours. - Figure 14 shows a schematic of the Phase 1 short range (2026) geometry. It is recommended and assumed that parking will be prohibited along March Court. This will allow separate eastbound left-turn and right-turn lanes to be striped on March Court approaching Sharp Point Drive. Since March Court is 34 feet wide, three 10- 11 foot lanes can fit within the width of March Court. The separate turning lanes will improve the operation of the Sharp Point/ March intersection. The geometry at the Sharp Point/Building Driveway, Sharp Point/ Riverbend, and Sharp Point/Canton intersections can remain as it currently exists. Figure 15 shows a schematic of the Phase 2 short range (2029) geometry at the Sharp Point/March and Sharp Point/Canton intersections. - Acceptable level of service is achieved for bicycle and transit modes based upon the measures in the multi-modal transportation guidelines and the Fort Collins Pedestrian Plan. Generally, all categories in the pedestrian analysis achieve ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 7 Packet Pg. 83 acceptable levels of service. The residential uses northeast of the site (Summit View Drive) could not achieve acceptable LOS with the continuity, street crossings, visual interest and amenities, and security categories. The commercial uses northwest of the site and the EPIC Center could not achieve acceptable LOS with the continuity category.

Most neighborhood meetings are recorded and posted on the City;s YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7cZylpMlgCKqkcNsNCKAEevDf1P6r-Xk Attendees City Staff: Kai Kleer, Sr. City Planner, kkleer@fcgov.com Em Myler, Neighborhood Development Liaison, emyler@fcgov.com Tim Dinger, Civil Engineer II Applicant Team: Shelby Hinchliff – Neenan Archistruction Public: In-person -1 Virtual - 1 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: Where is the primary access to the site? ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 8 Packet Pg. 141 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 | 2 A: Off of Sharp Point Drive C: It gets gnarly on Midpoint Drive during certain times of day right now. Q: Sometimes I notice traffic gets stacked up on Midpoint Drive. Are you hoping to address that traffic or just the traffic on Sharp Point Drive with the increased parking? I assume there will be a sizeable amount of additional traffic volume from the new school. A: As of right now, we’re only looking at Sharp Point Drive. The queue that forms on Midpoint Drive is solely traffic for the elementary school and outside the bounds of this project. But none of the activities for the Junior High School will occur on Midpoint Drive. A lot of Liberty families have students who would go to both the elementary school and the junior high school so in that case there would be a place where they can drop off both students. Liberty also has their own internal bussing system that takes students between campuses so that can help alleviate traffic among all the Liberty campuses Q: Has the Sherrif’s office ever reached out to you with any concerns getting out of their facility there? A: No we have not heard any concerns from them. Q: What is the duration of the project? A: For phase one we anticipate construction from January 2024 to July 2025 so school can start in August 2025. For phase two we are still working on the timeline. 4.Next Steps and Adjourn - NDL ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 8 Packet Pg. 142 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg. 143 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg. 144 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg.145Packet Pg. 145 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg.146Packet Pg. 146 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg. 147 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg.148Packet Pg. 148 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg.149Packet Pg. 149 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg.150Packet Pg. 150 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg.151Packet Pg. 151 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg.152Packet Pg. 152 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg. 153 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg. 154 ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 9 Packet Pg. 155 Colorado Revised Statutes – Excerpts Regarding City Review of Charter Schools 1 Statute Section Generally Regarding All Public Facilities 2016 Colorado Revised Statutes Title 31 - Government - Municipal Powers and Functions of Cities and Towns Article 23 - Planning and Zoning Part 2 - Planning Commission 31-23-209.

School District Boards--Powers and Duties (Refs & Annos) 22-32-124. Building codes - zoning - planning - fees - rules - definitions (1)(a) Prior to the acquisition of land or any contracting for the purchase thereof, the board of education of the school district in which the land is located shall consult with and advise in writing the planning commission, or governing body if no planning commission exists, that has jurisdiction over the territory in which the site is proposed to be located in order that the proposed site shall conform to the adopted plan of the community insofar as is feasible. In addition, the board of education shall submit a site development plan for review and comment to the planning commission or governing body prior to construction of any structure or building. The planning commission or governing body may request a public hearing before the board of education relating to the proposed site location or site development plan. The board of education shall thereafter promptly schedule the hearing, publish ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 10 Packet Pg. 156 Colorado Revised Statutes – Excerpts Regarding City Review of Charter Schools 2 at least one notice in advance of the hearing, and provide written notice of the hearing to the requesting planning commission or governing body. (b) Prior to the acquisition of land for school building sites or construction of any buildings thereon, the board of education of the school district in which the land is located also shall consult with the Colorado geological survey regarding potential swelling soil, mine subsidence, and other geologic hazards and to determine the geologic suitability of the site for its proposed use. (c) All buildings and structures shall be constructed in conformity with the building and fire codes adopted by the director of the division of fire prevention and control in the department of public safety, referred to in this section as the "division". (c.5) In constructing buildings and structures, a school district, district charter school, or institute charter school may consult the guidelines adopted by the public school capital construction assistance board pursuant to section 22-43.7-106 (2)(a). (d) Nothing in this subsection (1) shall be construed to limit the authority of a board of education to finally determine the location of the public schools of the school district and construct necessary buildings and structures. (1.5) (a) Prior to contracting for a facility, a charter school shall advise in writing the planning commission, or governing body if no planning commission exists, which has jurisdiction over the territory in which the site is proposed to be located. The relevant planning commission or governing body may request the charter school to submit a site development plan for the proposed facility, but must issue such request, if any, within ten days after receiving the written advisement. If requested by the relevant planning commission or governing body, the charter school, acting on behalf of its sponsoring school board, shall submit such a site development plan. The relevant planning commission or governing body may review and comment on such plan to the governing body of the charter school, but must do so, if at all, within thirty days after receiving such plan. The relevant planning commission or governing body, if not satisfied with the response to such comments, may request a hearing before the board of education regarding such plan. Such hearing shall be held, if at all, within thirty days after the request of the relevant planning commission or governing body. The charter school then may proceed with its site development plan unless prohibited from doing so by school board resolution. (b) An institute charter school authorized pursuant to part 5 of article 30.5 of this title shall proceed pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (1.5). Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection (1.5) to the contrary, the relevant planning commission or governing body may request a hearing before the state board of education. The institute charter school then may proceed with its site development plan unless prohibited from doing so by the state board of education. (2) (a) (I) (A) This subsection (2) shall apply to building or structure construction. Except as specified in subparagraph (II) of this paragraph (a), the division shall conduct the necessary plan reviews, issue building permits, cause the necessary inspections to be performed, perform final inspections, and issue certificates of occupancy to assure that a building or structure constructed pursuant to subsection (1) or (1.5) of this section has been constructed in conformity with the building and fire codes adopted by the director of the division and that the school district or charter school, whichever is appropriate, has complied with the provisions of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section. Pursuant to this sub-subparagraph (A), the division may contract with third-party inspectors that are certified in accordance with section 24-33.5-1213.5, C.R.S., to perform inspections. The affected board of education, state charter school institute, or charter school may hire and compensate third- party inspectors under contract with the division or hire and compensate other third-party inspectors that are certified in accordance with section 24-33.5-1213.5, C.R.S., to perform inspections. If the ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 10 Packet Pg. 157 Colorado Revised Statutes – Excerpts Regarding City Review of Charter Schools 3 board of education, state charter school institute, or charter school is unable to obtain a third-party inspector and no building department has been prequalified, the division shall perform the required inspections. If a third-party inspector is used, the division shall require a sufficient number of third- party inspection reports to be submitted by the inspector to the division based upon the scope of the project to ensure quality inspections are performed. Except as specified in sub-subparagraph (B) of this subparagraph (I), the third-party inspector shall attest that inspections are complete and all violations are corrected before the board of education, state charter school institute, or charter school is issued a certificate of occupancy. Inspection records shall be retained by the third-party inspector for two years after the certificate of occupancy is issued. If the division finds that inspections are not completed satisfactorily, as determined by rule of the division, or that all violations are not corrected, the division shall take enforcement action against the appropriate board of education, state charter school institute, or charter school pursuant to section 24-33.5-1213, C.R.S. (B) If inspections are not completed and a building requires immediate occupancy, and if the board of education, state charter school institute, or charter school has passed the appropriate inspections that indicate there are no life safety issues, the division may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy. The temporary certificate of occupancy shall expire ninety days after the date of occupancy. If no renewal of the temporary certificate of occupancy is issued or a permanent certificate of occupancy is not issued, the building shall be vacated upon expiration of the temporary certificate. The division shall enforce this sub-subparagraph (B) pursuant to section 24-33.5-1213, C.R.S. (II) Pursuant to a memorandum of understanding between the appropriate building department and the division, the division may prequalify an appropriate building department to conduct the necessary plan reviews, issue building permits, conduct inspections, issue certificates of occupancy, and issue temporary certificates of occupancy pursuant to sub-subparagraph (B) of subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (a), to ensure that a building or structure constructed pursuant to subsection (1) or (1.5) of this section has been constructed in conformity with the building and fire codes adopted by the director of the division, and take enforcement action. Nothing in the memorandum of understanding shall be construed to allow the building department to take enforcement action other than in relation to the building and fire codes adopted by the division. An appropriate building department shall meet certification requirements established by the division pursuant to section 24-33.5-1213.5, C.R.S., prior to prequalification. An affected board of education, state charter school institute, or charter school may, at its own discretion, opt to use a prequalified building department that has entered into a memorandum of understanding with the division as the delegated authority. If a building department conducts an inspection, the building department shall retain the inspection records for two years after the final certificate of occupancy is issued. The fees charged by the building department shall cover actual, reasonable, and necessary costs. For purposes of this section, "appropriate building department" means the building department of a county, town, city, or city and county and includes a building department within a fire department. (III) The division shall cause copies of the building plans to be sent to the appropriate fire department for review of fire safety issues. The fire department shall review the building plans, determine whether the building or structure is in compliance with the fire code adopted by the director of the division, and respond to the division within twenty business days; except that the fire department may request an extension of this time from the director of the division on the basis of the complexity of the building plans. (IV) If the fire department declines to perform the plan review or any subsequent inspection, or if no certified fire inspector is available, the division shall perform the plan review or inspection. As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, "certified fire inspector" has the same meaning as set forth in section 24-33.5-1202 (2.5), C.R.S. ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 10 Packet Pg. 158 Colorado Revised Statutes – Excerpts Regarding City Review of Charter Schools 4 (V) If the building or structure is in conformity with the building and fire codes adopted by the director of the division, and if the appropriate fire department or the division certifies that the building or structure is in compliance with the fire code adopted by the director of the division, the division or the appropriate building department shall issue the necessary certificate of occupancy prior to use of the building or structure by the school district or by the institute charter school. The division is authorized to charge a fee to cover the actual, reasonable, and necessary costs of the inspections of buildings and structures. The amount of the fee shall be determined by the director of the division by rule, on the basis of the direct cost of providing the service. (VI) If the division authorizes building code inspections by a third-party inspector pursuant to subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (a) or authorizes building code planreviews and inspections by an appropriate building department pursuant to subparagraph (II) of this paragraph (a), the plan reviews and inspections shall be in lieu of any plan reviews and inspections made by the division; except that this subsection (2) shall not be construed to relieve the division of the responsibility to ensure that the plan reviews and inspections are conducted if the third-party inspector or appropriate building department does not conduct the plan reviews and inspections. Nothing in this subsection (2) shall be construed to require a county, town, city, city and county, or fire department to conduct building code plan reviews and inspections. (b) (I) If the division conducts the necessary plan reviews and causes the necessary inspections to be performed to determine that a building or structure constructed pursuant to subsection (1) or (1.5) of this section has been constructed in conformity with the building and fire codes adopted by the director of the division, the division shall charge fees as established by rule of the director of the division. The fees shall cover the actual, reasonable, and necessary expenses of the division. The director of the division by rule or as otherwise provided by law may increase or reduce the amount of the fees as necessary to cover actual, reasonable, and necessary costs of the division. Any fees collected by the division pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be transmitted to the state treasurer, who shall credit the same to the public school construction and inspection cash fund created in section 24- 33.5-1207.7, C.R.S. (II) Any moneys remaining as of December 31, 2009, in the public safety inspection fund created pursuant to section 8-1-151, C.R.S., from fees collected by the division of oil and public safety in the department of labor and employment pursuant to this paragraph (b) as it existed prior to January 1, 2010, shall be transferred to the public school construction and inspection cash fund created in section 24-33.5-1207.7, C.R.S. (c) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2009, (HB 09-1151), ch. 230, p. 1045, Section 1, effective January 1, 2010.) (d) The inspecting entity shall cooperate with the affected board of education or the state charter school institute in carrying out the duties of this section. (e) If the inspecting entity and the board of education or the state charter school institute disagree on the interpretation of the codes or standards adopted by the division, the division shall set a date for a hearing as soon as practicable before the board of appeals in accordance with section 24-33.5- 1213.7, C.R.S., and the rules adopted by the director of the division pursuant to article 4 of title 24, C.R.S. (f) The rules authorized by this subsection (2) shall be adopted in accordance with article 4 of title 24, C.R.S. ITEM 2, ATTACHMENT 10 Packet Pg. 159 Colorado Revised Statutes – Excerpts Regarding City Review of Charter Schools 5 (g) School buildings shall be maintained in accordance with the fire code adopted by the director of the division pursuant to section 24-33.5-1203.5, C.R.S.
