The zoning ordinance (adopted May 31, 1929) provides, "the City
Council may, from time to time, on its own action or on petition, after
public notice and hearings as provided by law, amend, supplement or
change the boundary or regulations herein or subsequently established."
There is no provision in the ordinance requiring any particular form of
formality as regards the petition that is submitted to the City Council,
nor is there any requirement as to number or per cent of property owners
in the area to be affected.
•
The City Council refers such petitions to your Board and to the
Fort Collins Zoning Board of Appeals because of ,your wide diversified
knowledge of the situation in Fort Collins and the City Council relies
to a large extent upon your recommendations. Your recommendations are
not binding, however upon the City Council, but in the past has carried
considerable weight in the decisions of the City Council.
After the petition has been either favorably or unfavorably con-
sidered by your Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals, the City Council
acts on the petition. If the petition is rejected, no further action is
taken. If, however, the City Council favorably considers the petition,
there are provisions in the law for notice to those interested and a
formal hearing is held at which hearing anyone interested may appeal and
protest a change in the zoning ordinance.

The following committee report on the re -zoning of the E12 of Block 73 was
presented to the Board:
In the matter of the petition to re -zone the E12 of Block 73, the studies of
the committee show that: 1) The existing Land Uses in the area under consider-
ation and immediately adjacent thereto are primarily single-family residential
with a very small percentage of other residential uses and a very limited amount
of business and commercial uses; 2) The assessed land valuations in the area
under consideration and immediately adjacent thereto are characteristic of the
assessed land valuations of other single-family residnetial areas within the
City; 3) There is no indication as shown by the Land Use Maps that there is need
• for additional land to be zoned °C" Residential as the areas now zoned for this
use are more than adequate to provide an increase of more than 100 per cent for
FORT'_.iLLINS PLANNING AND ZONING BOAR..
October 1a, 1956 (continued)
the uses provided in this district; h) The uses allowed under the ordinance for
the "C" Residence District are not characteristic of the existing ,Land Uses in
the area under consideration and immediately adjacent thereto; 5) The "C"
Residence District if allowed would not be contiguous to, adjacent to, nor an
extension of an existing "C" ,Residential District; 6) The proposed change of
Zoning Districts does not serve the best interest of the public as a whole.
It is therefore, the recommendation of the committee that the Zoning District
in the E2 of Block 73 not be changed, at this time.
A detailed discussion of the matter of re -zoning the E2 of Block 73 followed.
Mayor Allen asked to be excused from the meeting. The Chairman excused Mayor
Allen.
It was moved by Mr. Palmes that the matter be forwarded to the Zoning Board
of Appeals and this Board make no recommendation at this time, seconded by Mr.
Withrow. The Chairman declared the motion passed upon the affirmative vote of
those members of the Board present.
The following committee report on the re -zoning of the W2 of Block 42 was
presented to the Board:
In the matter of the petition to re -zone the W2'of Block 42, the studies of
the committee show that: 1) The existing Land Uses in the area under consideration
and immediately adjacent thereto to the west are primarily single-family resi-
dential, to the north are primarily single-family residential with some industrial,
to the east are the public park which serves as a buffer to the industrial uses
beyond, to the south are a quasi -public use being a Parochical School and play-
ground beyond which are primarily single-family residential uses; 2) The assessed
land valuations in the area under consideration and immediately adjacent thereto
are characteristic of the assessed land valuations of other single-family resi-
dential areas within the City; 3) There is no indication as shown by the Land
OT COLLINS PLANNING AND ZONING OD
October h, 1956 (continued)
Use Maps that there is need for additional land to be zoned "D" Commercial as
the areas now zoned for this use are more than adequate to provide an increase
of more than 100 per cent for the uses provided by this district; h) There is
no need for any additional buffer area between the existing residential and
industrial uses in the area as the park provides a sufficient buffer strip; 5)
The °D" Commercial District, if allowed, would not be contiguous to, adjacent to,
nor an extension of an existing "D" Commercial District.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the Zoning District in the
bF of Block 1t2 be changed from a "B" Residential District to a "D" Commerical
District, as rec_uested if the new City Municipal Building is not located on the
E-, of Block 42; however, if the new City Municipal building is to be located on
the E- of Block 42 it is recommended that no change in the Zoning Districts be
• made at this time.
A detailed discussion of the matter of the re -zoning of the W2 of Block 42
followed. It was moved by Mr. Withrow that the recommendation of the committee
be approved and the matter be forwarded to the Zoning Board of Appeals, seconded
by Mr. Portner. The Chairman declared the motion passed upon the affirmative
vote of those members of the Board present.

absent were John D. Hartman and Mayor William H. Allen. Guests of the meeting
were Mr. Wollen, of the Carter Oil Company and his attorney, Mr. William C.
Stover.
The correspondence, in the form of a letter from the Fort Collins Post Master,
regarding street names and numbering, was read by the chairman.
Chairman Nicol then called upon Mr. Stover to present the application of the
Carter Oil Company for water taps for a service station to be erected at the corner
of Mulberry Street and the City Park Lake Lane directly West of City Park Lake.
Mr. Stover stated that the Carter Oil Company would apply for annexation of this
• property to the City and would round the corner to help eliminate the traffic
hazard at this location.
When Mr. Stover finished, Chairman Nicol excused Mr. Stover and Mr. Wollen
from the meeting.
Chairman Nicol then read a letter of protest to the use of this corner as a
service station, from Ruth S. Cunningham, "Publicity Chairman of Lilac Committee."
Said letter reads as follows:
Gentlemen: The Lilac Committee wishes to register an objection concerning
the proposed sale of land for gasoline filling station use on West Mulberry
and Bryan Streets, near the Southwest corner of City Park. .The streets in
that area are curved and too narrow for the safe and free flow of the heavy
park -bound and park -passing traffic which prevails all thru the summer and
on week ends thru the winter. The Lilac Committee is opposed to the erection
of any more filling stations any where along the perimeter of City Park,
because the propose of a City Park is for recreation, rest, and beauty, and
a filling station does not contribute to am of those aspects. Filling
Stations do not improve a landscape, but frequently detract from it. There
are already plenty of stations near City Park to supply any gasoline needs.
• Sincerely, Ruth S. Cunningham, Publicity
Chairman of Lilac Committee.
Chairman Nicol then presented a petition as follows:
FORr`r COLLINS PLANKING AND ZONM BOAhv
January 14, 1957 (continued)
To Whom It May Concern: We, the undersigned property owners of the City Park
Lake area, Kish to express ourselves as opposed to the erection of a filling
station at the corner of South Bryan and Mulberry streets. All citizens of
Fort Collins are proud of the fine park facilities available -at City Park and
enjoy the rest and relacation of its grassy area, trees, and above all the beauty
of the lake which is especially appreciated in this semi -arid area. We feel that
a business establishment of the nature of a gasoline filling station could have
only a detrimental effect so far as maintaining our park for the benefit of all
who go there. Also, most of us have accepted building restrictions and a high
tax assessment and have established homes adhering to an above average standard
in our desire to keep the property adjoining the lake front a pleasant and
beautiful area which would not detract from the great natural beauty of the lake
with its hills and mountain backdrop. We feel that a filling station, with its
unavoidable noise and commercial atmosphere, would be contrary to the best
interests of all who have reason to value our park and lake.

which the gas station would alleviate, but the objections to the erection

by the City.

Dear Mr. Palmas:
Recent endeavors by the Fort Collins Industrial Fund, Inc. and the
Industrial Committee of the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce have made
clear the urgent need for industrial zoning. In particular we need to
know as soon as possible those sites in and around Fort Collins which
will be zoned as future industrial areas.
You will agree, we are sure, for our two groups to plan our work
in obtaining new industries in Fort Collins, we must first have this
information. We therefore respectfully urge that the city and county
planning groups consider and complete their decisions as soon as possible.
May we also take this opportunity to thank the City of Fort Collins
and the City and County Planning Hoards for the work already completed
in this important matter, and pledge our full cooperation with the City
and Planning Boards in their further considerations.
Very truly yours,
/s/ E. A. Markley, Chairman

The matter was referred to the Regional Planning Commission with the

motion be tabled until a meeting of the Board can be called
to discuss the proposed subdivision, which meeting is to
be at the call of the Chairman. Ti,e notion was seconded
by Nr. Hartman. Upon the affirmative vote of all members
present, the motion to table was declared passed by the
Chairman. It is the desire of the Board that the Bristol
• property be subdivided prior to the zoning of the area.
Mr. Bristol indicated to the Board that he would attempt
to have a subdivision plat of the streets, at least,
before the Council meeting next Thursday. The Board in-
dicated that a special meeting would be called by the
Chairman if ti:e plat were presented by that time, so that
the matter could be reconsidered.

area between Parker and Stuart Streets and between the
Alpert Subdivision and the Second Orchard Park Subdivi-
sion as requested by Edwin 1,iller was discussed by the
Board at length. The matter of "B" zoning in this area
where streets have not been dedicated to public use was
discussed at great length by the Board. It was moved by
I4r. Sears that it be recommended to the City Council that
the change in zoning to a 'B" Residence District be
allowed, provided th';t the following street right-of-way
widths are deeded or dedicated and accepted prior to said
zoning:

to the area being subdivided and adjacent areas. It was moved by
Mr. Nicol that the Preliminary Plat of Voerding Subdivision in Si
of the NWT Section 24, T. 7 N., R. 69 W, of the 6th P. M. be approved
with the following conditions: (1) the area designated as a park between
lots 34 and 35 not be accepted as a public park, (2) the plat clearly
shows the dedication of right -of -wag for Whedbee Street to the extreme
southern boundary of the subdivision, (3) the plans for all utilities

FORT COLLINS : LANNING AND ZONING BOARD
November 26, 1957 (continued)
1. The area designated as a park on the West side of Lot 35
is too small to warrant its use as a public park. I do not be—
lieve that the City should accept an area this small for park
purposes because of relatively high cost of street improvements,
park improvements and general park maintenance.
2. The plat does not clearly show that Whedbee Street is to
be extended to the extreme Southern boundary of the Subdivision.
3. The actual location of the North bank of Spring Creek
along the South boundary of the Subdivision, may limit the use—
fulness of the easement along the south boundary of the Subdivision.
This matter should be checked before acceptance of the final plat'.
The Utility plans for water mains, fire hydrants and sanitary
sewer mains are satisfactory and are approved as shown on the
plans, with the stipulation that the City of Fort Collins does not
assume or agree to assume anv of the costs of constructing any of
such lines to the existing City Utility mains.
The plans for Street Improvements are satisfactory and approved
as shown for all streets within the Subdivision. No plans for
improvements on Stuart Street were submitted.
Plans for the improvement of Stuart Street will necessarily
have to conform to the requirements.of the City of Fort Collins
Master Street Plan which designates Stuart Street as a collector
street with a minimum roadway width of 50 feet.
Approval of the plans for street improvements as shown on
the plans does not obligate the City of Fort Collins to assume
any of the cost of constructing such improvements.

Petition to re —zone the West Half of Block 1, I. G. Bradley's
Addition to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, from "B" Residential
to "D" Commercial.
As reason for this petition the petitioners state that the
widening of College Avenue by the State Highway Department will
ruin said properties for residential uses; that on the West side
of College Avenue, opposite said properties, are businesses,
which cause said properties to be undesirable for residences.
Sincerely

Miles F. House
City Clerk
The Chairman ask if any persons present wish to speak for or against
the proposed change in Zoning. Mr. Robert H. Bush, 1640 S. College, stated
that the business's to the west created a great deal of noise particularily
in the late hours of the evening, that trash and litter from the businessee
blew into the yards and that the increase in traffic and the proposed
-widening of South College Avenue makes the front yards of the abutting
residential property practically useless. Mr. Will Rothman, 1644 S. College,
stated that the business to the south particularily the "Milk Station"
were noisy all night and that the noise from the Highway particularily at
night was distracting to the residential character of the neighborhood.
Mr. Beier reported that the addition of this area to the commercial
district along South College Avenue would round out the Commercial District;
however, it adds to the area zoned for business and commercial uses outside of
the central business district.
The Board discussed the matter at length. Mr. Nicol moved that it be
recommended to the City Council that the West 'i Block 1, I. C. Bradley's
Addition to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, be taken from the °B"
