RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL
5. #70-82 811 East Elizabeth Expansion of a (Von -Conforming Use
E
•
Request for approval of an expansion of a non -conforming use
on 0.70-ac located at 811 East Elizabeth, proposed medical
offices, zoned R-L, Low Density Residential.
Applicant: Harry V. Unfug, M.D., c/o Robb and Brenner, P.O.
Box 251, Fort Collins, CO 80522
Note: Mr. Dow withdrew from the discussion and vote because of a
conflict of interest.
Frank: Gave a staff report recommending approval.
Note: Discussion ensued between staff and the Board concerning the
stipulations of the Non -Conforming Use Ordinance, the "unique-
ness of the site", the possibility of setting a precedent for
developing commercial along East Elizabeth, the number of
employees on site, and traffic concerns.
Bill Brenner: Applicant, Robb and Brenner. Stated his understanding of Ord-
inance #118-84 to mean that the non -conforming use was re-
stricted to the existing type of use. Stated that they had
conducted a neighborhood meeting and had encountered some
opposition and some people in favor of the proposal. Sum-
marized the major concerns as being traffic and safety, prop-
erty values, the increase in commercial use, and neighborhood
support.
Mr -Sanford Kern: 804 East Elizabeth. Stated that there was no need for expans-
ion at present and that there was no hardship upon Dr. Unfug--
he could, in fact, use the building as is. Felt that the
granting of this request would be a de facto change in zoning.
Stated that the building presently was zoned R-L and that it
would be in the realm of the possible that it could revert to
R-L but once it becomes doubly the size there is no way it
could be maintained except as commercial property. Felt that
there was great pressure to go commercial on the block and
that the neighborhood feared the "dominoe effect". Felt that
11r. Unfug was in effect asking for a favor from the City, this
will give an increase to the value of his property. Asked
the Board to help maintain the neighborhood quality in the
area. Submitted a petition of people in opposition to the
project (Exhibit A).
Michael Ehler: Real Estate Appraiser. Stated that he was hired by the neigh-
borhood to analyze the effect of the proposal on property
valuations. Stated that the problem of traffic should be
reviewed again, the more intensive office use could negatively
effect residential property values, and that the expansion
could stimulate the transition of the neighborhood to office
use.

•
Joseph Carroll:
805 East Elizabeth. Submitted a letter from Mr. Ehler. (Ex-
hibit B). Felt that this was in essence a spot -zoning. Stated
that he would like the
property to return back to single-
family. Stated that the general anticipation of the neighbor-
hood was not the doubling of the office space footage.
Expressed concerns about the children's crosswalk and possible
danger to the children because of increased traffic. Submitted
a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Rust (Exhibit C). Stated
that the proposal represented a deterioration of the neighbor-
hood and property values.
Ruggiero:
Clarified the City's position that this was not a spot -zoning
or rezoning, but that it was merely the expansion of a build-
ing containing a non -conforming use.
Reed Mitchell:
809 East Elizabeth. Stated that they did not want the direct-
ion of the neighborhood to change. Stated that he lives next
door to the site and was quite uneasy about expanding a
non -conforming use.
Charles Unfug:
Stated that the people that had spoken were not opposed to the
effects of the expansion, they were opposed to to the existing
use. Stated that the issue was whether the enlargement would
adversely effect the neighborhood. Stated that the plan would
make the site more residential and would enhance '-he quality
of the neighborhood.
Dr. Harry Unfug: Stated that he planned to move into the building. Felt that
medical buildings are a little different than other buildings
in that once they are set up for a particular type of medical
practice, that that is pretty well what it is going to stay.
Stated that they felt that the plans they had developed and
shown will be much to the advantage of the neighborhood.
Stoner: Commented that the Board was not there to decide if this is a
hardship on Dr. Unfug. He felt that the improvements would add
visual harmony to the area. However, to approve an expansion
of something that is not already desired seems to be off base.
If the use was desired he could see the expansion.
Ross: Commented that the Board had made a commitment to Elizabeth
Street and felt that it was critical that they continue with
that commitment.
Moved to recommend denial of the 811 East Elizabeth Expansion
of a Non -Conforming Use.

,de, the undersigned property owners, are o_3posed to the applica-
tion of Dr. Harry Unfug for expanding the existing non -conforming
use at 811 E. Elizabeth Street. The request will deteriorate the
quality of our neighborhood - a fine, old single-family area. In
our opinion, expanding the physical size of this business use, with
its planned business operation expansion, will have a detrimental
impact on our homes and t-ie surrounding neighborhood.

Joseph T. Carroll, Jr.
110 E. Oak Street
Fort Collins, Colorado 80524
Dear Mr. Carroll:
Upon your instructions, I have investigated the impact to
your neighborhood that might result from the requested
expansion of 811 East Elizabeth Street. As the plans for
the expansion are of public record, I will confine my
remarks to the problem rather than descriptive narrative.
It is recognized that the introduction of an incompatible
use in a residential neighborhood can have a
negative influence on property values. The basis of this
lies within the definition of a neighborhood, which is
described by the American Institute of Real Estate
Appraisers as,
"A portion of a larger community, or an entire
community, in which there is a homogenous grouping of
inhabitants, buildings or business enterprises."
Two principles of economics address this issue:
1. Anticipation - value is created by the expectation
of benefits to be derived in the future. For
residential property, these benefits include the
basic element of shelter plus the personal rewards
of pride in ownership and the provision of a
family home.
2. Conformity - maximum value is realized where there
is a reasonable degree of architectural
homogeneity and compatible land use.
By identifying inharmonious land uses, potential
homeowners recognize those neighborhoods that do not
protect the assets (i.e. benefits) of the residents. The
practical result can be a decrease of property values,
appreciation rates lower than other comparable areas,
longer periods for sale, or transition of the neighborhood
into other uses.
The City of Fort Collins has also acknowledged this
through -

Goals and Objectives
Neighborhood Identification:
1. Encourage those design characteristics which lend
clarity and identity to neighborhoods in all City
neighborhoods.
2. Protect against the intrusion of incompatible
commercial and business activities which have a
significant negative impact upon predominantly
residential areas.
3. Restrict extraneous motorized traffic from
residential areas.
Land Use Compatibility:
6. Protect older residential areas from encroachment
by industrial and commercial uses which may impair
the viability of the residential neighborhood.
Study of Area, 1976
Problems and Planning Objectives:
Preserve the stability of the established
residential neighborhood that borders the study
area.
The City's concern for protecting residential areas is
also shown in the preface to the Land Development Guidance
System and in the zoning ordinance concerning
Nonconforming Uses and Buildings.
For 811 East Elizabeth, it is fact that the use is
nonconforming. From the operation of economics, which is
recognized by law, this incompatibility may adversely
affect its neighbors. The question remaining is whether
the expansion will disrupt or cause a change in perception
of the area (either by current residents or buyers) to a
degree as to affect values or future use.
In reviewing the proposed plan and the City's comments,
the influence on traffic use requires further study.
According to the planning staff's comments, current usage
is 6,000 vehicles per day. In checking with
Transportation Services, the most recent counts were in
April, 1980; in an area east of Remington, 3,616 vehicles
were surveyed. The west bound flow onto College Avenue
was 1,100 in May of 1981. It is also known that on West
Elizabeth, one-half block west of City Park Avenue, the
traffic count was 5,803 on August 6, 1982. As West
Elizabeth is a major collector, 6,000 for East Elizabeth
appears excessive.

Joseph Carroll Page 3 November 22, 1982
A second point is the increased vehicle use of the
specific property. According to the current tenant, Dr.
Cowel, visits to the property vary from zero to 10 per day
with four to five being an average. With the three
occupants, Dr. Cowel and two other, the number of vehicles
entering or leaving the property is moderate. Conversely,
the expansion will house two doctors, four full time
employees and two part time employees. At a minimum, the
ingress —egress is projected at 100 per day and whether
this includes visits by salespeople and deliveries (from
five to seven per week) is not known. The increase in
traffic may be of greater impact than originally thought.
The second concern is future use. It is stated by the
City that this expansion will not set a precedent for
rezonings or conversions. While the expansion may not set
a precedent in law, it is my opinion it will stimulate the
economic forces already present for further changes of
uses in the neighborhood. Presently, medical office
space in proximity to the hospital totals nearly 211,000
square feet. Three to four buildings are now under
construction or planned. With this new supply, vacancy
rates will still remain low and further demand will be
caused by expansion of the hospital. The new construction
is on Riverside Avenue as this is the last undeveloped
area adjacent to the medical office neighborhood.
There are other projects under consideration but these are
some distance to Poudre Valley. Proximity to the hospital
has been a major desire of the medical community. The
current and potential demand for medical space will put
increased pressure on the East Elizabeth neighborhood for
redevelopment. This potential is very real when it is
observed that the area is somewhat closer to the hospital
than Riverside Avenue. By allowing the expansion of 811
East Elizabeth, a "permanent" anchor and boundary may be
created; because of economic pressure it will be more
difficult to limit transition.
In conclusion, I offer the following points. (1) Traffic
may increase more than projected as perhaps will the
impact upon existing street capacity. (2) The more
intense office use could negatively affect residential
property values because of the change in perception of the
neighborhood and its character. (3) It is probable that
the expansion will stimulate the transition of the
neighborhood to office use. This may be through conver—
sion or redevelopment. The City's expressed desire to
limit such a transition will be difficult to enforce when
such a decision is counter to market economics.

These opinions are based upon my knowledge of the
market and some limited additional research. Interviews
were also made of doctors regarding space utilization,
patient loads, personnel requirements and traffic
frequency. Please advise if further information is
required.

r'ort Collin_., Colorado 80521
Dear iembers:
Since writing a letter on Iuovember 8, 1982
concerning the property at 811 East Elizabeth we have had a change
of opinion. At that time we said we did not object to the establish—
ment of an office by Dr. Harry Dnfug and the remodeling plans. Vie
still do not object to him having an office in the present building
but are not in favor of the expansion of the building to include an
expansion of his practice to an associate. The additional activity
would be an added traffic hazard to school children and the large
volume of pedestrian traffic on Elizabeth Street.
`ore have great respect for Dr. Dnfug; our concern is with the posible
trend towards more changes away from the residential character of
the neighborhood. His plan is attractive but perhaps too ambitious
for a residential neighborhood at this time. We love our home and
the neighborhood the way it has been the 23 years we have lived on
Elizabeth Street.
Sincerely,
Kenrieth R. Rust

to it.
Stoner: Questioned why the general industrial designation was recom-
mended.

Premix Prospect Road Zoning subject to the site being develop-
ed as a PUD.

DISCUSSION AGENDA:
10. #180-78G South College Properties Superblocks 5 and 6
Request for approval of a Superblock plan on approximately
31.5-ac located at South College Avenue, Boardwalk Drive and
Landings Drive, zoned H-B, Highway Business, and R-P, Planned
Residential.
Applicant: City of Fort Collins
Note: Mr. Stoner withdrew from discussion and the vote because of a
conflict of interest.
Frank: Gave a staff report recommending approval.
Steve Standring: Owner of Mountain Armory, 3842 So. College. Stated that the
City's plan for access and curbcuts was livable. Stated that
the way in which the Superblock was to be funded was in no way
fair, in terms of how the improvements were allocated and how
the expenses for paying for the allocations were made. Stated
that none of the improvements were actually contiguous to his
property. Felt that everything presented by the design group
only stood to make him feel that he was paying for im-
provements that were going in to the south that should have
been paid for by those individuals. Stated that they were not
resistant to the Superblock concept but did not want to pay
for other people's improvements.

Joe Pease:
Pease Home Improvements. Expressed concerns about the access
and curbcut into his property. Stated that he would like some
assurance that the curbcut would remain on his property.
Dow:
Stated that approval of this recommendation as proposed would
not prohibit him from selling the property to a subsequent
owner for development under circumstances such that that sec-
ond owner could not still have that curbcut. In other words,
he would have to come in with a PUD and would be subject to
all of the requirements of the PUD, among those would be the
option to require the closing of that curbcut.
Frank:
Stated that the City could not close curbcuts unless there is
reasonable access provided.
Carr Bieker:
Applicant. ZVFK Archictects/Planners. Stated that his inter-
pretation about discussions with Mr. Pease was that the
curbcut was acceptable as long as his building was in place
and functions as it does today. If a proposal to change this
piece of property and redevelop it with a new building were to
take place, then perhaps it may be more appropriate to move
this curbcut further to the north.
Willard Anderson:
134 Muddy Road. Expressed concerns about the funding of the
improvements.
Note:
Much discussion followed concerning the granting of Special
Improvement Districts.
Clyde Masters:
Area resident. Expressed concern about access to his
property.
Rupel:
Stated that as long as Mr. Master owns that property he has
access to that road.
Crews:
Moved to approve the South College Properties Superblocks 5
and 6.
Ross:
Second.
Vote:
Motion carried 5-0. (Stoner abstaining).

Larkbunting Drive, zoned R-P, Planned Residential.
Applicant: ZVFK Architects/Planners, 218 W. Mountain, Fort
Collins, CO 80521.
Frank: Gave a staff report recommending approval.
Carr Bieker: Applicant, ZVFK Architects/Planners. Stated that they were
trying to develop a project that is unique to Fort Collins, in
that they are trying to provide an alternative to retired
individuals.
Ross: Expressed concern about the buffering to be provided from the
railroad and ditch to provide a more quiet environment for the
retired persons. He also brought up the possibility of
providing bus service to the area.
Commented that this seemed to be a good attempt to satisfy a
need in the community.
Simpson: Commented that she was pleased to see that this was more com-
patible with the surrounding area and the densities lowered.
Stated that she thought it was a very well done plan.
Stoner: Moved to approve Rangeview PUD - Preliminary.
Dow: Second.
Vote: Motion carried 6-0.
12. #58-82A Grant Townhomes R-M Site Plan Review
Request for an 8-unit residential complex located at 635 S.
Grant, zoned R-M, Medium Density Residential.
Applicant: Lee Fetters, 620 N. 7th Street, Grand Junction,
CO.
Chianese: Gave a staff report recommending approval.
Note: Ed Stoner announced that he had a conflict of interest and
would be abstaining from discussion and the vote.
Joan Fetters: Applicant. Stated that she felt that this was a residential
use and that the zoning does allow other uses that do not have
to go through this procedure. The uses stated were child-care
centers, churches, public recreational centers and group
homes. Stated that they were meeting much of criteria stated
in the Land Use Policies Plan. She also addressed concerns
about par ing 1n t e area.
-7-
Wanda "less:
619 So. Loomis. Stated that she was against this proposal.
Expressed her concerns as being the increase in density in the
area, the increase in traffic, and noise levels. Stated that
she would like to encourage and maintain a residential flavor
to the neiahborhood.
Carolyn Sperline:
813 W. MyrtIe. Stated that her concern was still the
increased density, the problems of an absentee owner, and
additional noise problems. Stated that they would like to keep
it single-family or duplexes.
Dean Wallace:
622 So. Grant. Felt that this project does not blend with the
neighborhood. Expressed concerns about property values,
parking problems. Felt that duplexes would be more in keeping
with the neighborhood.
Mr. Sperline:
813 1-1. Myrtle. Felt that since this project had been denied
in October that his arguments should stand. Stated that there
is no need for additional housing ---he noted that he had
checked with the University and had been told that there was
available housing through the University. Felt that this
proposal could only result in the deterioration of the
neighborhood.
Note:
A letter from Mrs. Agnes Lilley was submitted for the record.
(Exhibit D).
Ross:
Discussed the size of the units and the numbers of persons
that they were intended to house.
Dow:
Questioned the number of rental units versus the number of
units that are owner occupied.
Chianese:
Stated that they did not have specific numbers but that in
walking the neighborhood it appeared that most of the houses
had retained their single-family character.
Crews:
Commented that he felt very uncomfortable with the proposal.
Stated that the applicant had met all the requirements for the
zone but he still felt very uncomfortable with it.
Dow:
Commented that the applicant had come back with a little bet-
ter proposal than was presented last month, however, the over-
riding issue is not whether enough parking spaces are provided
the overall question is one of neighborhood compatibility and
the intensity of the use.

Simpson:
Stated that if there are still student rentals available on
camupus perhaps the students feel it is cheaper to live off
campus, but that is not the Board's problem. Felt that there
are a lot of rentals on Laurel but if ,you go back off of
Laurel, they do become more single-family. She would like to
see that character of that neighborhood maintained.

525 loth Street PUD - Preliminary
Request for preliminary approval of a residential and office
duplex, located at 525 10th Street.
Applicant: The Resource Assistance Center for Nonprofits,
Inc., c/o Mrs. Lou Stitzel, Administrative Director, P.O. Box
1104, Fort Collins, CO 80522.
Chianese:
Gave a staff report recommending approval.
Lou Stitzel:
Applicant. Gave a lengthy presentation on the background of
the proposal. Stated that the the church cannot add on to
it's present property and that this proposal represents one of
the more workable solutions as to how they can solve their
problems for the congregation plus making it economically
feasible without making it a hardship.
Santiago Alarid: Representative of the area neighborhood. Stated that he
thought there was only one lot, not two, to build the duolex
on. Stated that the people of., the neighborhood had agreed
that a single-family residence would be appropriate in the
neighborhood, but not a duplex. He felt that building one
duplex would set a precedent in the neighborhood for tearing
down single-family homes to build duplexes.
Stated that he was afraid that the minister would use the
duplexes for other uses than what was intended.
Chianese: Stated that the site plan ties the duplex to two specific
uses ---one is for a residence, and one is for office use,
defined by the City as office space for the church and acces-
sory uses for the church sponsored by the church. There is no
way that any other office mould be permitted in that unit.
sea
Steve Barbier:
Director of Neighbor to Neighbor Inc. Felt that the project
was well-intentioned, but was simply misplaced. Felt that the
quality and stability of the neighborhood should be main-
tained. Stated that any change in the neighborhood represent-
ed increased uncertainty for the entire area. Stated that the
people in the area want to see single-family development ---it
is their way of life. The concept of a duplex is not
consistent with the existing neighborhood.
Clarita Alarid:
Area resident. Stated that most of the membership of the
church was not from the immediate area. Stated that the prop-
erty was solely bought for the purpose of having housing for
the Reverend to live there.
Ruggiero:
Admonished the members of the Board to restrict their dis-
cussion to the land use issues and not some of the emotional
and religious issues that had been discussed.
Stoner:
Commented that regardless of church function, this is still
being used as an office and it is in an R-L zone.
Moved to deny 525 loth Street PUD - Preliminary.
Ross:
Second.
Vote:
Motion carried 5-1. (Dow voting no).
