Applicant: City of Ft. Collins

5. Lincoln Corridor Plan
The purpose of this item is to summarize and document the planning process and
extensive community engagement to:
1. Develop a vision and preliminary long-term multi-modal roadway design for Lincoln
Avenue;
2. Identify related neighborhood improvement projects in the study area; and
3. Identify potential funding options, project phasing, and specific strategies and
actions to implement the Plan.
The Lincoln Corridor Plan has been developed by a City staff and consultant team with
extensive public input. The yearlong planning process was initiated in the spring of
2013, and the plan is scheduled for consideration of adoption by City Council on May
20, 2014.

6. Mason Street Sustainable Development
This project would remove a single-story commercial building built in 1888 and
remodeled extensively 1950’s, and construct a seven-story, 80-foot tall mixed-use
office building (with additional 9-foot tall elevator and HVAC structures) at the
southwest corner of Mason and Magnolia Streets. The existing building has been
found not eligible for landmark recognition, and its demolition does not require further
historic preservation review. The property is zoned Downtown (D), Canyon Avenue
Subdistrict.

7. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Parking Study
The Study follows the adoption of the temporary parking ordinance (Ord. 121, 2013)
creating minimum parking requirements in the TOD Overlay Zone which expires in
September 2014. Staff has conducted extensive public outreach and research on
national best practices as part of the Study to date. We have heard consistent
feedback from the community that, although the City’s vision for walkable and transit-
oriented infill and redevelopment is commendable, and cars may not be needed for
routine trips, residents still own cars and, therefore, storage and access needs to be
accommodated. At the April 4 Planning and Zoning Board Work Session, direction was
given to staff to provide more information on the creation of parking standards with the
following characteristics:
• Minimum parking requirements that vary according to land use
• Allow for alternative compliance based on a Parking Impact Study and/or a
Transportation Demand Management model
• On-street paid parking in Downtown with the newest management technology
• Public-private partnerships for parking structures
