SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION
Boards and Commissions Periodic Review
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Council conducts periodic reviews of all boards and commissions. Council Liaison Susan Gutowsky is interested
in having a discussion with the Landmark Preservation Commission about Council’s and the Commission’s
outcomes, goals, and expectations. Following the discussion, Councilmember Gutowsky will report back to City
Council.
Council has identified seven Key Outcome Areas: Neighborhood Livability and Social Health, Culture and
Recreation, Economic Health, Environmental Health, Safe Community, Transportation, and High Performing
Government. While there is crossover between each of the Outcome Areas, the Landmark Preservation Commission
has previously identified that its principal Outcome is Neighborhood Livability and Social Health, followed by
Economic Health and Environmental Health.

1. Please indicate the Key Outcome Areas this Board/Commission is aligned with, using (1) for the
primary connection, (2) for second largest connection, and (3) for third connection:
___1 Neighborhood Livability & Social Health ___ Culture and Recreation
___2 Economic Health ___3 Environmental Health
Safe Community Transportation
_______High Performing Government
2. How do the current duties of the board, as defined by City Code, align with the Key Outcome Areas
identified above? What duties would you suggest be added and/or deleted?
The duties in the City Code align well with and directly support the Key Outcome Areas of Neighborhood
Livability & Social Health, Economic Health, Environmental Health, and High Performing Government.
The LPC helps to protect and promote the historic resources that enrich our community. These
resources are essential to creating a sense of place for Fort Collins residents (and visitors) and adding
value to their daily lives through tangible and cultural experiences.
By providing professional determinations of a resource’s significance and integrity, the commission
helps evaluate properties to identify which resources warrant preservation. These determinations help
council to make decisions that will benefit not only individual properties and owners, but will bolster
local history, economy, and education.
Economic vitality is promoted through financial incentive programs, ensuring quality, energy-efficient
housing and providing owners with additional disposable income.
Environmental stewardship is enhanced, and greenhouse gases and energy use are reduced by
adaptively retaining, retrofitting, and reusing historic buildings.
BOARD TOPIC 1, ATTACHMENT 1
Packet Pg. 4
The LPC further supports the Design Assistance Program and Landmark Rehabilitation Loan program,
funding programs for owners of locally designated homes to fix / maintain their homes. It makes it
possible for owners to stay in their homes.
And, through Friends of Preservation awards and other outreach efforts, the LPC encourages the
community to ‘see’ and appreciate their shared culture.
Specifically, the Commission’s duties are:
• The Commission is the Final decision-maker on:
o Requests for alterations to properties designated on the National Register, Colorado State Register,
and as Fort Collins Landmarks
o Determinations of eligibility for Fort Collins Landmark designation
o Allocation of Landmark Rehabilitation Loan funds
• The Commission makes recommendations to:
o Council, on Fort Collins Landmark designations;
o The Colorado State Review Board, on nominations to the National and State Register
o Decision Makers, on compatibility of developments adjacent to historic properties
• The Commission advises Council and staff on:
o The identification and significance of historic resources, threats to their preservation, and methods
for their protection;
o Policies, incentives and regulations for historic preservation.
3. Regarding the board’s annual Work Plan:
A. How is the Work Plan aligned with the Key Outcome(s) identified above?
B. How is the Work Plan aligned with the City’s Strategic Plan?
The Work Plan is developed to directly support the City’s Strategic Plan in the Key Outcome Areas of
Neighborhood Livability and Social Health, Economic Health, Environmental Health, and High Performing
Government. The LPC’s on-going duties and goals further align the Commission’s strategic objectives
with those of City Council:
Supports Neighborhood Livability and Social Health by:
• Enhancing the community’s sense of place by protecting historic character through landmark
designation; and through design review and development review, helping to ensure compatible
alterations and new development;
• Celebrating historic resources through a wide variety of community recognition and appreciation
opportunities, such as the Friends of Preservation Awards; tours, signage and brochures; and
partnerships with community history organizations;
• Supporting Housing Affordability goals by retaining and rehabilitating historic building stock,
promoting more affordable options in housing;
• Developing a community-wide survey plan and identifying priorities for historic survey.
Supports Economic Health by:
• Allocating Landmark Rehabilitation Loans and promoting Design Assistance Program, State Tax
Credits, State Historic Fund grants, and other financial incentives to eligible properties;
BOARD TOPIC 1, ATTACHMENT 1
Packet Pg. 5
• Supporting Housing Attainability and Affordability through revisions to the Rehabilitation Loan
Program and the Design Assistance Program to address financial equity issues, and better assist low
and moderate-income citizens with cost-effective repairs and improvements to their homes.
• Ensuring a smooth, integrated Development Review process by providing early comments to
developers and staff on Land Use Code projects; and by providing decision makers with
recommendations on development near historic properties
• Promoting and subsidizing the use of Fort Collins’ specialized skills and tradespeople to keep more
financial resources in the community.
• Assist staff in the performance of two State Historic Fund grant-funded projects: the survey of 50
properties in Old Town Fort Collins between Mulberry Street and Laporte Avenue; and the
comprehensive Historic Structure Assessment of Fort Collins Water Treatment Plant No. 1 at
Gateway Park.
Supports Environmental Health by:
• Incentivizing sustainable building practices and energy conservation measures in older homes
through historic preservation review processes;
• Promote sustainability, retention of embodied energy, and waste-steam reduction by encouraging
the reuse of existing buildings and materials
• Facilitating safe, cost-effective building rehabilitation and energy retrofitting and resource
sustainability through 0%-interest loans, free professional advice, and the City’s Design Assistance
Program;
• Promoting the Historic Preservation Division’s Costs Calculator, an on-line tool that enables area
contractors and residents to understand the cost, longevity and energy trade-offs in material
choices.
Supports High Performing Government by:
• Overseeing the implementation of the new historic preservation codes and processes and
continuing to identify improvements, recommending appropriate code revisions as needed;
• Providing the best service to Council and the residents of Fort Collins by identifying and
implementing innovative solutions and best practices through partnerships, continuing education,
and professional trainings;
• Building capacity, increasing productivity, and facilitating the career training and growth of young
professionals by working with CSU students in Historic Preservation, Archeology, Construction
Management, Heritage Tourism and other related fields of study;
Furthering Council’s and the City’s goals and objectives through the performance of the
Commission’s duties.
3. C: How is the Work Plan aligned with the Agenda Planning Calendar (Six Month Calendar)?
Most Commission members were unaware of Council’s Six Month Calendar.
D: Does the board effectively accomplish its annual Work Plan?
Commission members unanimously believe that they do accomplish the LPC’s annual Work Plan in
an effective manner. This is substantially aided by a review of Work Plan items each month.
BOARD TOPIC 1, ATTACHMENT 1
Packet Pg. 6
4. Are board meetings conducted in an effective manner (do the meetings start on time? Are discussions
focused around the agenda topic, etc.)? What could be done to improve board meetings?
Board meetings are conducted in an effective manner. Discussions may outwardly appear lengthy at times,
but the complex topics discussed warrant a thorough, methodical, and code-driven approach. It was noted
that discussions could be more organized and stay on topic, rather than bounce back and forth as they
sometimes do. City staff and board members work together to ensure that time management is respected.
Meetings consistently begin on time, which is appreciated by applicants and residents. The consistent
structure of requesting questions / info at the work session, and the actual discussion in the meeting is
effective and consistent. This has resulted in meetings are far more productive, and the decisions far more
supported and defensible.
One item of improvement identified by Commission members is motions. While staff provides sample
language both for and against in the packet (which was noted as extremely beneficial), members are
hesitant to make motions, and bog down when required to craft motions that deviate from the language
provided by staff. At the upcoming retreat Commission members will spend time with the Attorney’s Office
talking about how to structure motions, when to disagree or have discussions / friendly amendments etc.
5. Is the current size of the board appropriate? If not, what suggestions would you make?
The LPC has nine members. Commission members agree that the current size is of the board is appropriate.
Having a board of this size allows members to recuse themselves without negatively effecting the quorum.
Fewer members would make it more difficult to ensure a quorum and increases the potential for project
delays. Another strength of having a larger board is the increased diversity of members backgrounds and
experience.
One Commission member recommended that a set number of board positions be reserved for historic
architects.
Commission members comments on recent suggestions by some to reduce terms for board members. While
the quick turn-over could increase community involvement, board members noted the lengthy and steep
learning curve for quasi-judicial boards. Members expressed concern that reducing terms would lead to a
loss of understanding of the code and good decision-making through turnover.
6. Please describe the effectiveness of the communications between the board and Council. What could
be done to improve these communications?
Commission members acknowledged the tremendous workload and amount of information that Council
must deal with in an average packet and appreciated Council’s desire to do more. The Commission first
identified ways that it could promote communication with Council, including adding a summary section to
each meeting minutes; and providing an onboarding packet to new Council members on historic
preservation in Fort Collins.
Members noted that they feel like the City Council doesn’t really have a clear sense of what the LPC does.
One member commented that, in sitting in on work sessions and regular meetings of Council, they can tell
from some of the comments that are made that Council doesn’t fully understand the LPC’s role or grasp the
entire reason why the LPC exists.
BOARD TOPIC 1, ATTACHMENT 1
Packet Pg. 7
The LPC’s council liaison typically attends the Commission’s annual retreat. Having time for discussion and to
get to know the council liaison better is greatly appreciated. Attendance at the retreat was viewed as
making the council member seem more approachable and more interested in better understanding the
commission’s work.
The Commission would appreciate opportunities for additional communication with Council. It would be
helpful to receive direct feedback regarding recommendations (whether positive or negative). Council
members are also encouraged to attend the LPC work sessions or regular meetings.
7. Other comments:
• Every year our city council liaison has joined us for at least a short time at our annual retreat. This
has always been a great time of talking and is probably the most positive, successful example of
communication between city council and the LPC that I can think of.
• How can we help council more? What do you need from us? What’s the best way to deliver this?
• Thank you for funding the City-wide survey person. Please continue this funding in the upcoming
budgets. There has been a noticeable reduction in controversy since the city hired this position.
• Professional survey is the foundation of everything we do as a commission.
• Our services and regulatory responsibilities in the twenty-first century are increasingly dependent
on technology and effective data and records management. Capturing historic property data,
analyzing it, and sharing it with the public are CLG priorities, but require adequate staff resources.

The Landmark Rehabilitation Loan Program provides owners of locally designated properties with interest free
matching funds of up to $7,500 each year for approved exterior restoration and rehabilitation. Loans are paid
back upon the sale of the property, and the payback funds used for additional loans. In Special Fiscal Year
2019, the loan program provided $43,182 towards a variety of projects such as window rehabilitation and porch
repair. The eight rehab projects supported with loans generated $116,843 in rehabilitation costs, leveraging
each $1 of City funding with $1.17 of private funds.

South College Avenue Corridor Historic Survey

INTRODUCTION
The South College Avenue Corridor between Mulberry Street and Horsetooth Road represents several
different eras and types of development that occurred in Fort Collins over the period between 1900 and
the present. The corridor includes buildings from the Victorian Age at the north end of the corridor, to
modern buildings near the south end, with a significant amount of mid-century construction in between.
It is a three-mile long corridor that encompasses 30 city blocks and forms the eastern boundary of the
campus of Colorado State University. It includes much of the “commercial strip” development in Fort
Collins that occurred post-WWII. Nearly 200 buildings and structures were identified, documented and
evaluated for eligibility as historic landmarks, or as contributing structures to historic districts if there is
historic district potential. The potential for new districts or expansions of existing historic districts was
also evaluated. This report summarizes the work completed for this survey, as well as how this
information will be used in the future.
METHODOLOGY
Scope of Work
The scope of work for the South College Avenue Corridor survey was to identify, document and evaluate
all properties within the corridor to determine what historic resources exist and to identify eligibility for
future landmark designation. The survey identified those key resources in need of more intensive levels
of survey, as well as those areas where historic district potential may exist. Since there is little
undeveloped land left in the corridor and given its predominantly commercial nature, it is an area under
redevelopment pressure and as a result, was the first area to be surveyed using the additional survey
staffing that is available for the next two years.
Assessing National Register eligibility, as well as state and local landmark and historic district potential
now will allow staff to be proactive in responding to future redevelopment proposals in the corridor. It
will allow City staff to integrate survey information with these proposals in the earliest phases of
planning, leading to better preservation outcomes for historic resources in the corridor. Staff will be
able to engage developers and property owners early in the process and promote the preservation and
incorporation of locally eligible landmarks in redevelopment proposals as supported by the City’s Land
Use and Municipal Codes. Property owners will also have information on their property’s significance
and the benefits of preservation and related financial incentives.
Project Staff
All field work was conducted by Historic Preservation Planner Sherry Albertson-Clark beginning in June
of 2019 and completed by early September. Other staff of the Historic Preservation Office assisted with
preparation of form templates, data collection, discussion and evaluation on individual properties, and
with development of the commercial architectural styles used in this survey. Support from the staff of
the Local History Archive at the Discovery Museum was also vital, particularly in the area of the Larimer
County Tax Assessor “dead file” property cards, which typically have photos and property data from
1948, 1969 and 1978 on many properties. Overall mapping of the corridor, including building
Packet Pg. 34
South College Avenue Corridor Historic Survey

construction date, building footprints, property address and parcel numbers was provided by the City’s
GIS staff. Discovered during this survey is that there is no 1900 Block of South College Avenue. This may
be due to the location of Spring Creek, which crosses College Avenue at about where the 1900 Block
would otherwise be located.
Preliminary Research and Field Work
The corridor includes properties that front (address) on College Avenue, between Mulberry Street and
Horsetooth Road. A total of 194 properties were surveyed, which included several properties that are
not addressed on College Avenue. Where a single building “wraps” from College Avenue to an adjacent
cross street and includes addresses that are not on College Avenue, the entire building was included in
the survey. If a building has a side wall on College Avenue, but is addressed on the adjacent street, it
was also included in the survey.
Field work for this survey encompassed approximately three blocks on each field trip, so that a
manageable amount of information could be gathered while still allowing time to thoroughly record
each property. While in the field, notes were made on properties and addresses were confirmed with
the addresses provided on the GIS maps. For all properties, photographs were taken to document the
current condition of the principal buildings, as well as all accessory structures such as garages and sheds.
Photos were taken from the public right-of-way (sidewalk) along South College Avenue. Where alleys
exist, photos were taken of the backs of the buildings and of accessory structures or buildings. When
possible, all four sides were captured in photographs. Digital photos were labeled using a standard
format of address: what the view is showing, and the direction from which the photo was taken
(example: 2627 S College Ave S front NW.jpg). relevant photographs were put into the digital address
folder for each property.
GIS mapping was used to enter data on the Survey Log spreadsheets prior to conducting field work. This
mapping included parcel numbers, construction date(s) and addresses as supplied from the Larimer
County Assessor’s data base.
Historical Research
As a follow-up to the survey field work, historical research was conducted to develop a basic
construction history and historic background for each property; to determine the date and type of
alterations that were made; and whether any historical association exists with important events or
activities, persons, or groups. The primary sources used for research purposes were the online Larimer
County Tax Assessor Records; Fort Collins History Connection online data base (Tax Assessor historic
images, archived building permits for 1920 – 1945); the Local History Archive for Tax Assessor property
cards; the City’s online data base (building permits from 1945 to the present); City Directories 1901 –
2008; Fort Collins Historic Preservation Office digital and hard copy files by property address; and the
Colorado State University Archive for historic images. These sources provided valuable information to
help determine the date(s) of construction, property ownership and occupancy, as well as historic
images that may help identify the general period of additions and/or alterations. For some properties,
additional sources were used, including U. S. Census data available on ancestry.com and the City of Fort
Collins’ CityDocs data base.

Survey Types
The type of survey to use for a property was determined based on the age, nature and condition of a
property being surveyed; the age, nature and condition of surrounding buildings; whether there were
apparent additions and the nature of those additions (placement, materials, style of addition); and any
existing knowledge of the surveyor on the historical background and construction history of the
property. Descriptions of the different levels of surveys are:
Windshield Survey – This is the most basic level of survey for buildings that are either less than
50 years of age; or for buildings older than 50 years of age that have obvious newer alterations
that have resulted in a loss of integrity. These alterations have significantly changed the
appearance of the building. This type of survey can usually be determined in the field with an
initial look at the property.
Reconnaissance Survey – This survey was used for buildings that are over 50 years of age that
may have had some exterior alterations. These buildings don’t typically have unique
architecture or design. In this type of survey, there may need to be some level of follow-up
research done to verify the dates of alterations and additions, and to determine if there is any
historical association.
Architectural Survey – This type of survey was done for buildings that are over 50 years of age
that are architecturally unique or significant. They may have had some exterior alterations, but
still retain their integrity. These are much more detailed surveys that focus on the architecture
of the building and include at least a basic level of historical research to determine if the
building also has an association with a significant event or activity, or person or group related to
the community.
Intensive Survey – These surveys will be done only if a building has been identified during this
survey as being that unique and significant building that has never been surveyed before or is
identified in the field as being eligible for designation at the national and/or state landmark
level.
The surveys conducted for this project did not provide the in-depth level of information typically needed
for a National Register nomination. In the “Results & Recommendations” section of this report, several
properties are identified as needing an Intensive-Level Survey done in the future, if a National Register
nomination is pursued.
Eligibility Criteria
The evaluation of buildings to determine eligibility focused on architectural significance, building
integrity, and historical association. The assessment of these three items determines whether a building
or property is considered eligible for local, state and/or national landmark designation, as well as
whether it would be contributing or non-contributing to a historic district, if there is district potential in
an area.
Architectural significance evaluates whether the architecture of a building or structure represents the
distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; represents the work of a master;
Packet Pg. 36
South College Avenue Corridor Historic Survey
5
possesses high artistic values; or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components
may lack individual distinction.
Building or structure integrity considers seven factors:
• whether the exterior materials are retained and visible;
• if the design is intact (configuration, proportions, roofline, window pattern, historic additions);
• if there is evidence of workmanship using historic construction methods (joinery, carving,
turning, etc.);
• whether it is in its original location;
• if the setting has changed (physical character of property and relationship to surrounding
features);
• whether the feeling of the property has changed (design, materials, workmanship, and setting to
convey historic character); and
• if there is an association with historic events or activities, persons or groups and this association
is still conveyed.
Historical significance determines whether the building or structure was associated with events or
activities that made a significant contribution to local history or associated with the lives of persons or
groups significant in the community’s past.
Historic districts are the concentrations of buildings or structures that are typically united historically, or
aesthetically by plan or physical development. In order to have district potential, there must be a
grouping of resources, that while they may lack the characteristics to be individually designated, they
have significance historically, architecturally, or archaeologically as a group. They may create an
interesting group because of their homogeneity, diversity, or they may represent a culture.
In a district, there are contributing and non-contributing buildings or structures. Contributing buildings
or structures add to the historical associations, architectural qualities or archaeological values of an area
and help explain why a district is significant. These buildings were present during the period of
significance for the district and they possess an adequate level of integrity. Non-contributing buildings
or structures are those that were not present during the period of significance, nor do they relate to
why an area is significant. They also may not possess adequate integrity due to alterations or additions
over time.
Architectural Styles
A wide variety of architectural styles were discovered during this survey: from Victorian architecture at
the north end of the corridor; Craftsman and Mediterranean Revival mid-corridor; to Usonian,
Commercial Modern and Strip Commercial at the southern portions of the corridor. The architectural
styles used to classify the architecture of residential properties are those identified in the “Field Guide to
Colorado’s Historic Architecture & Engineering” by the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation
(OAHP) of History Colorado (formerly Colorado Historical Society). While the field guide also provides
some styles applicable to commercial properties, a series of commercial styles, particularly for mid-
century and modern buildings were developed to use in this survey and other future surveys that
include commercial buildings of a similar era. Some of these architectural styles were not found in the
South College Avenue Corridor but are still included in this report for future reference.

The evaluation of architectural significance for this survey focused on the front or façade of a building to
evaluate its eligibility; however, the other sides were taken into consideration if they are visible from the
public right-of-way. Additions don’t rule out a building from being considered eligible. Generally,
additions made to a building or structure should fall within the following guidelines for the building or
structure to still be considered eligible:
• Addition is more than 50 years old;
• Is no more than 1/3 of the size of the original building;
• Is “hyphenated” with a transitional element that preserves the original shape of the building;
• Could be removed without loss of the original historic fabric;
• Is not readily visible from the public right-of-way;
• Is not a modern “pop top” addition;
• Is designed to be in character with the original building; and
• Is designed to be subordinate in character and fades into the background without competing
with the original building
These are general guidelines to use, with the knowledge that there may still be additions that don’t
meet these guidelines, yet the building may still merit eligibility with all factors being considered.

Preparation of Forms and Report
Survey forms were prepared for those properties that had either a Reconnaissance or Architectural
Survey completed. Information on the Reconnaissance Survey form includes building address;
historic/current name(s); field evaluation and general recommendations; historical information;
integrity of architecture; information on roof, exterior walls, foundation, distinctive features, porches,
windows; and alterations. Information on the Architectural Survey form includes identification
information; geographic information; detailed architectural description; architectural history; historical
association; significance; and eligibility assessment.
Completed Reconnaissance and Architectural Survey forms reside in the property by address digital
folders on the City’s internal shared drive, with an individual folder made for each property. All
photographs taken during this survey are also stored in the property by address digital folders.
Properties that only had a Windshield Survey will still have photographs retained.
HISTORIC CONTEXT
There are three distinct areas in this three-mile corridor. The northern-most area is and has been
oriented toward Colorado State University, in its commercial and housing offerings over the period from
the early 1900s to the present. This is due to the area’s proximity to campus, where students,
professors and other university employees could easily live and walk or bike to campus. The Mid-Town
Area, lying between Prospect and Swallow Road, represents an area of more intense auto-related
development that generally occurred between the 1950s and 1970s. The third area, referred to as the
Foothills Mall area, covers the section between Swallow and Horsetooth Road. This area saw
development and redevelopment primarily occur in the late 1970s to the present.
University Area
The 11-block area of South College Avenue between Mulberry Street and Prospect Road began as a
residential area with larger homes constructed, beginning in 1901. Many of these homes were the
residences of prominent citizens of the community, some of whom were affiliated with the university.
Due to the proximity of the campus of Colorado State University, several of the larger homes later
housed fraternities and sororities. The smaller homes offered student rental housing, either as
apartment units or as rooms in boarding houses. Retail shops, including the Campus Shop (NW corner
of Laurel and College) and the Village Shops in the 800 block provided services with the college student
in mind. As residential development continued south along the corridor, commercial additions were
built on the fronts of several of the existing homes so that commercial ventures could occur while the
original house still provided housing. Over time, smaller homes were razed to make way for parking lots
and new commercial buildings, as traffic increased along College Avenue and on-street parking was
removed. Businesses became more oriented toward the automobile and the Unity Church at the SW
corner of Mulberry and College was demolished to make way for a fast food restaurant with a drive
thru. The east side of the corridor became a buffer for the large residential neighborhoods to the east.
Much of the area to the east is within the Laurel School Historic District, a National Register Historic
District created in 1980.
In the 1960s and 1970s, some former residences were converted to commercial use, yet still retain their
residential character, while some commercial uses occupy newer commercial buildings. The new mixed-

use buildings at 704 – 708 and 830 S. College Avenue have commercial uses on the ground floor and
upper floors of apartment units oriented toward university students. These buildings replaced earlier
commercial buildings. The Mawson Residence near the NE corner of College Avenue and Prospect Road
was incorporated into a new Taco Bell restaurant in 1993, resulting in a unique design for the
restaurant, while still retaining the residential character of the original residence. Other buildings in the
blocks between Pitken Street and Prospect Road are in commercial use, but their residential character
has been retained, including several in the 1500 block that have local landmark designation.
Because of the proximity of the CSU campus to South College Avenue and its expansion plans, the
university began purchasing properties on the west side of College Avenue, south of Pitkin Street. The
university’s plan to build an on-campus stadium resulted in the relocation of the Plant Environmental
Research Center (PERC) which was formerly near the Shields Street/Lake Street area. This resource was
relocated to the park in front of the old Fort Collins High School on Remington Street and is now known
as the CSU Trial Gardens. The university also acquired the high school property for a performing and
teaching arts center, known as the University Center for the Arts (UCA). A new student health center
was built at the NW corner of South College Avenue and Prospect Road, resulting in the demolition of
several older residences located in the block of College Avenue between Prospect and Lake Street.
The Music District was created in 2014 and includes five properties along the College Avenue Corridor
between Olive Street and Laurel Street (619, 621, 633, 639 and 641 S. College). It was created by the
Bohemian Foundation, a local non-profit entity, as a gathering place and workspace for the music
community. At the district, one can take music lessons, attend an event, or find rehearsal or office
space. Bohemian has also acquired 609 S. College Avenue (Rist-Reitzer Residence) and plans on
incorporating it into the District.
The MAX bus route, created by the City of Fort Collins in 2014, provides bus service in a loop along the
Mason Street Corridor between Harmony Road and the downtown Transit Center. The intent of MAX
was to provide an alternative transportation mode for students living along the route and for residents
to use, especially on CSU home football game days. The route is one block west of the South College
Avenue Corridor and there are six stations along the route in this three-mile corridor. The MAX route
has facilitated the development of several student housing developments along the corridor, with more
anticipated. Student housing was once thought necessary to be near campus in order to be successful,
but with options such as MAX, or shuttle service provided by some of the larger student housing
developments, there is no longer the need to be close to campus.
Mid-Town Area
The area between Prospect and Swallow Road experienced its initial growth boom in the 1950s and
1960s. (Note: The Mid-Town Area as defined in other City documents extends from Prospect to
Harmony Road. For the purposes of this survey, the Mid-town area covers the shorter distance of
Prospect to Swallow Road). As auto traffic increased, this corridor, which is U. S. Highway 287, catered
to those traveling between Denver and Cheyenne and other destinations to the north or south. Until
the interstate system was built, Highway 287 was the north-south route and motels, gas stations and
drive-in restaurants dominated the corridor south of Prospect Road. The area between the Arthur Ditch
(north of Rutgers Avenue) and Drake Road was platted and developed as South College Heights, with
streets named for colleges and universities. The land elevation increases heading south on College
Avenue, peaking where Rutgers Avenue intersects with College Avenue – at the “heights”.
Packet Pg. 42

The developers of the South College Heights area were Mae Tiley, husband Lewis and son K. (King) Bill.
The Tileys ventured into land development several years earlier, when they were selected to assist with
the relocation of CSU’s horse farm, on the west side of what is now known as Lemay Avenue, opposite
Poudre Valley Hospital. They partnered with Bob Everitt of Everitt Enterprises and platted the area
between Stover Street and Lemay, from Elizabeth Street to Prospect Road. This area was developed as
University Acres, with streets named after former CSU presidents. The Tileys’ success with this
development then led them to South College Heights, which was platted in seven residential
subdivisions approved between 1954 and 1960 for the area between Rutgers, Stover, Drake and College
Avenue. This area is home to over 500 dwellings, many of which are ranch-style homes, built between
the mid-1950s and mid-1960s. The development includes several blocks of homes along the Frontage
Road of College Avenue on the east side, where Lewis and Mae Tiley’s former residence at 2500 S.
College Avenue is a designated local historic landmark. The South College Heights area represents one
of the largest single-family developments built during one of Fort Collins’ post-war residential
development booms. Many of the homes along the Frontage Road have since been converted into
Home Occupations or rental housing, as traffic and noise on College Avenue increased and livability in
these homes decreased.
The Tileys also developed University Mall, the first enclosed mall in Fort Collins. The mall is on the west
side of College Avenue across from South College Heights. The area from the Rutgers Avenue
intersection with College Avenue to Drake Road was platted as the University Shopping Center in 1959
and a McDonald’s restaurant was constructed there the same year. The north end of this area opened
in 1963 with a free-standing Montgomery Wards store. By 1964, the enclosed portion of the mall was
built south of Wards at a value of $1,200,000 with Walgreens and Kinney Shoes as anchors. By 1970,
the area was known as University Plaza. Hested’s 5 & 10 located in the mall in 1972 and King Soopers
was built at the south end in 1975. Eakers Department store and a movie theatre were added to the
enclosed mall area. The mall was known as Century Mall for a short time, before changing to University
Mall by 1982. Montgomery Wards closed in 1997 and Whole Foods opened in late 2003 in the north
portion of the former Montgomery Wards building. The southern portion of Montgomery Wards and
the remainder of the original mall is now occupied by several big box stores, including Petco, Office Max,
Wilbur’s Total Beverage, and Big 5 Sporting Goods.
In 1971, the K-Mart store was constructed on the south portion of the University Shopping Center
property. This was the first Unit Development (later known as Planned Unit Development or PUD) to be
approved in Fort Collins, using the City’s Unit Development Ordinance. This ordinance allowed flexibility
in building placement, minimum lot size and setbacks and became the development method of choice in
Fort Collins for many years after. Fort Collins continued to be a magnet for big box development like
many other communities across the country, with the location of large supermarkets, Wal-Mart, and
Target; office suppliers like Office Max and Office Depot; and warehouse shopping locating along the
city’s major streets.
The Fort Collins Federal Savings & Loan (now Key Bank) was built at the NE corner of College Avenue and
Drake Road in 1970. Designed by local architect William “bill” Robb, it was the second non-residential
construction to take place in the South College Heights Subdivision (the other being the office building at
the NE corner of Rutgers and College). Originally, the parcel of land bound by College Avenue, Drake
Road, Harvard Street and Princeton Road was intended to be residential in nature, but with the
construction of a bank at this location, the remainder of what was platted as Tract A was instead split
into four single-family lots.

Foothills Mall Area
The remaining stretch of the corridor between Swallow and Horsetooth Road experienced a
development boom beginning in the 1970s. The Foothills Fashion Mall was developed by Everitt
Enterprises in partnership with Westcor of Phoenix and construction started in 1971. Until the mall’s
decline, it was the commercial hub of Northern Colorado, drawing shoppers from southern Wyoming
and western Nebraska to what was the largest mall in the region. The original Foothills Fashion Mall
was a fully enclosed mall, with Sears and the Denver Dry Goods Company (aka The Denver) as the
original anchor tenants. An expansion added May D & F (now Macy’s) and a second expansion added J.
C. Penney at the southern end of the mall. Mervyn’s filled the space previously occupied by The Denver.
By 2005, Mervyn’s was gone, and J. C. Penney moved to the former Shopko site several blocks south of
the mall. A small strip center located to the north of the mall on Foothills Parkway and had many vacant
spaces. The small retail strip to the south of the mall on East Monroe Drive fared a bit better.
In 2012, a Denver-based mall development company bought the property. The redevelopment concept
called for a “lifestyle center”, retaining portions of the original enclosed mall, adding perimeter retail
and restaurant pad sites, a multi-screen theatre and apartments. Portions of the original enclosed mall
were altered/removed and the original retail spaces to the north, west and south of the main mall were
razed. This provided space for several hundred apartment units to the north and east of the property
and several new retail pad sites, including Nordstrom Rack and Ross Dress for Less, to the north of the
enclosed mall. On the west side of the property are several buildings that back up to College Avenue
and contain retail and restaurant uses that front toward the mall. Longhorn Steakhouse anchors the
South College/East Monroe intersection and the Cinemark Movie Bistro fills in the SE corner of the site,
along with several bars/restaurants in The Shops at Foothills. The Youth Activities Center, which was
located at the SE corner of the original mall property, was replaced with a City-operated recreation
center that was constructed at the south end of the enclosed mall.
The original auto dealerships in Fort Collins were located downtown, on College Avenue. The Ghent
Ford (now Spradley-Barr Mazda), Dellenbach Motors and Markley Motors dealerships all eventually
moved south. As commercial development continued along College Avenue and space in the
downtown became more constrained, these dealerships moved to their current locations. Ghent Ford
located at the SW corner of College Avenue and Drake Road in 1966. Ed Carroll opened in 1968 as a
new dealership to the area selling Volkswagens. Dellenbach Motors moved south in 1971 and Markley
followed in 1972. Moving to these locations gave the dealerships room to expand. Except for the
Ghent/Spradley location at Drake Road, the other dealerships have had significant changes to their
buildings and sites over time, typically driven by corporate requirements to upgrade. The
Ghent/Spradley site and the adjoining Sherwin Williams paint store are slated for redevelopment for a
mixed-use development of residential, retail and hotel use.
RESULTS & RECOMMENDATIONS
The results of this survey will allow City Historic Preservation staff to be proactive in responding to
future redevelopment proposals in the South College Avenue corridor. Staff will be able to engage
developers and property owners early in the process and promote the preservation and incorporation of
locally eligible landmarks in redevelopment proposals as supported by the City’s Land Use and Municipal

Codes. Property owners will also have access to information on their property’s significance, as well as
the benefits of preservation and related financial incentives for designation.
Survey Results
A total of 194 properties were identified, documented and evaluated during this survey. Of these:
• 114 were conducted as Windshield Surveys with only basic information recorded
• 53 were evaluated on Reconnaissance Survey forms
• 17 were evaluated as Architectural Surveys
• 10 are already designated as local landmarks (found north of Prospect Road, except for the Tiley
Residence at 2500 S. College Avenue)
Most of the Reconnaissance and Architectural Surveys were concentrated in several blocks. The
buildings of the 500 and 600 Blocks are generally the oldest in this survey, as development continued
from the downtown, southward along College Avenue. These two blocks account for eight Architectural
and 11 Reconnaissance Surveys. The east side of the 1600 Block, which is on the south side of Prospect
Road, had one Reconnaissance and four Architectural Surveys done on a block that has nine buildings.
The 2200 and 2500 Blocks include the residential portions of South College Heights along the Frontage
Road and had seven and ten Reconnaissance Surveys completed respectively. Table 1 on the next page
summarizes the type of survey done in each block, as well as the total number of properties in that block
and properties that are already locally designated.
Five properties in the corridor are vacant as of the date of this report. These are International House of
Pancakes (1002 S. College Avenue), Wild Boar Café (1510 S. College Avenue – Bradley Residence), Lewan
building (1608 S. College Avenue), Vern’s Tile and flooring (1618 S. College Avenue); and the former
JoAnn Fabrics building (2839 S. College Avenue). Wild Boar, formerly located in the locally designated
Bradley Residence, closed in October of this year, while the other buildings have been vacant for much
longer.
The Ranch architectural style was the most commonly found residential style in the corridor,
with 22 buildings in the South College Heights frontage properties categorized in this style. The
various Revivals (Mediterranean, Italian Renaissance, Spanish Colonial, Tudor, Colonial)
combined for 15 residential buildings, primarily north of Prospect Road. The Commercial
Modern style was found on 45 buildings throughout the corridor, while 38 buildings were
categorized as Contemporary style architecture.

5LR.1504 – 504 & 506 S. College Avenue – J. A. Brown’s Flats South
These duplex buildings were built for James A. Brown and the architect/builder was Edison M. Cole of
Cole-Potter Construction Company. Brown was a prominent real estate developer, bank president, City
Councilman, and director at the Sugar Beet Factory. He did not live at either address, having his home in
the 400 block of South College Avenue. According to Ansel Watrous in the “History of Larimer County,
Colorado” Brown built 12 other homes in Fort Collins, making him an early real estate developer.
Watrous also attributed the first frame house in Fort Collins to Brown. Edison M. Cole of Cole-Potter
Construction Company was responsible for the design and/or construction of numerous buildings in Fort
Collins around the time these buildings were built in 1905. Both buildings are locally rare examples of a
Foursquare style duplex, with high levels of craftsmanship and many highly unique architectural details.
Both are eligible under Criterion B/2 - association with persons significant in local history and Criterion
C/3 - architectural significance. Even with additions to the backs of the buildings, they are still
considered eligible for the National and State Registers.

5LR.9996 – 100 E. Drake Road – Fort Collins Federal Savings & Loan / Key Bank
This bank building was designed by William “Bill” Robb, who was a well-known local architect and was
constructed by the N. G. Petry Construction Company of Denver. Petry was best known for the
construction of the original Mile High Stadium and its moveable seating, along with other Denver
buildings. The bank’s location in the South College Heights Subdivision is also associated with local
developer Mae Tiley and her family and it is one of only two non-residential properties developed within
the subdivision. This building is a unique example of the Usonian architectural style in Fort Collins, with
its brick pillars, use of roman brick in a stacked bond, and double semi-circular towers with skylights for
bringing natural light into the building. It is eligible under Criterion B/2 – association with persons
significant in local history and Criterion C/3 – architectural significance.

5LR.14614 – 1630 S. College Avenue – Faith Realty / All Property Services
This building was associated with Gordon Walker, founder and president of Faith Realty and Bill Thomas
who joined the business after a long military career. Faith Realty was a well-known local real estate
company and both men were associated with it for many years. This two-story building was constructed
in 1963 in the Usonian style and has an unusual cantilevered front balcony, a metal sunshade on the
south wall and unique hand railings on the building front. It is eligible under Criterion B/2 – association
with persons significant in local history and Criterion C/3 – architectural significance.
1630 S. College Avenue
Local Landmark Eligible
There are 16 buildings determined to be eligible for local landmark designation, as listed on Table 2 on
the next page. While there was adequate information for making an eligibility evaluation on each of
these, several of them need additional research if they are formally nominated for local designation, so
that a more complete history can be provided. The history of alterations on 522 S. College Avenue and
the historical associations for 528 & 530, 804, 1618 and 2839 need further study. All but 2540 S. College
Avenue (Don and May Wilkins Residence) had an architectural survey completed, which means that
more historical research was done on these properties, but not to the extent of an Intensive level
survey. The residence at 2540 S. College Avenue had a Reconnaissance Survey done, which means the
amount of historical research done was minimal.

Historic District Potential & Future Surveys
There are several areas where historic district potential was identified during this survey. These areas
are an expansion of the Laurel School Historic District (or creation of a new district) to include some of
the residential properties along the east side of College Avenue; district potential for the east side of the
1600 Block; and the potential for one or more historic districts in the South College Heights Subdivision.
A total of 35 buildings were determined to be contributing, where historic district potential was
identified, as discussed below.
An expansion of the Laurel School Historic District or creation of a new district could be made to include
several properties that are residential in nature; constructed during a similar era as the Laurel School
District properties; and fronting on the east side of South College Avenue. This would include properties
built as residences in the 500, 600, 700 blocks; and those in the 1200 block. These blocks are adjacent
to the Laurel School District, separated only by the north/south alley between Remington Street and
College Avenue. The original residences along College Avenue have a similar construction era as the
buildings to the east of them that front on Remington Street.
The east side of the 1600 Block (south side of Prospect Road) has several properties that are eligible for
individual designation, as well as some that would be contributing buildings to a historic district, if one
were formed. This block demonstrates the evolution of residential buildings converted to commercial
use over time, as well as the introduction of mid-century commercial architecture. The buildings at
1610, 1618, 1634, 1636, 1640, and 1644 could be incorporated into a district that is now commercial in

19
nature. District potential for properties east of the alley, fronting on Remington, was not evaluated,
since this area is outside the survey boundaries, but it was developed under the same subdivision and
timeframe as those properties along College Avenue.
The South College Heights Subdivision is generally located south of the Arthur Ditch (including
Dartmouth Trail) to Drake Road, between College and Stanford Road. This area has over 500 homes that
were developed during the late 1950s – 1960s. The area is associated with the Tiley family and
represents one of the largest residential developments undertaken in Fort Collins during the post-war
years. Many of the homes in this development are ranch-style, with some split-and bi-level styles. This
area has the potential for one or more historic districts, based on its association(s), housing styles, and
cohesiveness of its construction timing.
Several properties were identified that warrant further research at the intensive level of survey. This
would include full chain-of-title research and more in-depth historical and architectural research that
was not done during this project, particularly for those properties that are National Register-eligible.
These are:
• Properties recommended for National and State Register nomination (500 & 502 and 504 & 506
S. College Avenue; 100 E. Drake Road; 1630 S. College Avenue
• 1636 S. College Avenue – Timeless Creations
• 2540 S. College Avenue – Don and May Wilkins Residence
Next Steps
This Survey Report will be posted on the City’s Historic Preservation webpage. Information will be
mailed to property owners of record for those properties that have been identified as being eligible for
landmark designation – either national, state, and/or local designation. Included will be information on
the financial incentives and benefits of property designation.
The potential historic district areas identified in this report will be prioritized and evaluated as future
survey work.

SURVEY LOG
A Survey Log was created for each grouping of blocks and was used to capture and document
information on all properties surveyed – regardless of the level of survey done. The log includes the
properties that are already designated landmarks, although no additional time was spent in
documenting these properties, beyond adding them to the Survey Log and taking photographs.
Information on the Survey Log for each property that is not locally designated includes:
• Parcel number
• Address
• Date of construction, date of significant alterations
• Number of stories
• Exterior wall material(s)
• Roof material(s)
• Architectural style
• Style subcategory
• Original use
• Current use
• Eligibility for national register/state register/local landmark/district contributing/or already
locally designated
• Date of survey
• Notes
• Common name
• Field number (if known – properties that have Architectural Surveys done will receive a field
number from History Colorado if one has not previously been assigned)
• Level of survey prepared
The “Notes” column was used to provide information on items such as additions or alterations that have
been made to the property, or to indicate if the property is less than 50 years of age. Where alterations
are noted, this generally indicates that alterations were made that noticeably change the building’s
appearance. The Survey Log created for this survey is being used as a pilot to generate a GIS-based
historic resource survey data base. The Survey Log is attached behind the Bibliography.

SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION
Sustainability & Historic Preservation Workshop Series - Insulation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is a brief informational presentation and discussion (as part of an ongoing series requested by the
Commission) regarding the intersection of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treatment of Historic
Properties and the “Triple Bottom Line” approach to sustainability that has been adopted by the City (as well as
other government and preservation organizations). The presentation will provide a refresher on the framework of
sustainability and historic preservation, and will focus on insulation techniques that are common and/or
recommended for historic buildings. While insulation is an interior modification not typically reviewed by staff or
the Commission, insulation is often an energy efficiency suggestion to avoid exterior alterations to historic
buildings. Staff is seeking input from the Commission regarding this topic and how the City makes suggestions in
this area.

Sustainability - Definitions
• “Triple bottom line” approach
•Social
• Connect people with history
• Consider owner/resident needs (rehabilitation)
• Consider local knowledge & craftsmanship
• Economic
• Boosts to local job growth
• Small business incubation
• Financial solvency for local governments in
pedestrian-focused environments
• Environmental
• Embodied energy
• Reduce, reuse, recycle (in that order)

Environment Economy
Embodied Energy
• Buildings have two significant energy costs
1. Construction
2. Operations (lighting, heating, etc.)
• Embodied energy includes full supply chain
• Costs of raw material extraction
• Costs of material
manufacture/processing
• Costs of transportation
• Costs of physical construction
• Best practice to consider demolition energy costs
as well
• Many historic buildings, especially masonry
buildings, can meet LEED requirements for
operational energy efficiency.

Planning Concepts & Strategies
• Conduct an energy audit first (solve problems
a building actually has)
• Consider inherent energy efficiency of the
building
• Reuse of existing materials is generally more
energy-efficient than replacement due to:
• environmental costs of manufacture
• durability of historic materials
(especially pre-1950)
• No such thing as “maintenance free”

of Energy. Illustration: Blank Space LLC.
Approaches – Passive Heat/Cool
• Operational approach (low cost; labor
intensive)
• Use transoms, window layout, and site
plan to effect energy goals
• Trees shading windows and roof
• Eaves
• Reduce exterior hardscape
(concrete, asphalt, etc.)
• Minor modifications
• Install an attic fan or ceiling fans

Approaches - Insulation
• Best cost-effective approach to energy
performance
• Target documented energy loss areas via
energy audit
1. Usually start with attic
2. Move to outer walls, if necessary
3. Move to seams as necessary
(conduits, window frames, etc.)
• Design Review – Not reviewed (interior), but
staff makes recommendations. May affect
State Historic Tax Credit applications.

Insulation - Products
•Batt
• Usually fiberglass but can be other
materials
• Most recommended as it is reversible and
can be installed to allow breathability
•Blown in
• Fiberglass or cellulose blown in as a
loose product
• Spray foam (usually resin-based) is
NEVER recommended (reversibility &
moisture buildup)
• Rigid Foam
• Polystyrene and other foam materials
• Low breathability but high R-values

Packet Pg. 65
Insulation – Methods & Issues
•Batt
• Loose application
• Good for attics in-between joists
• Good for wall cavities in reduced volumes where cavity is easily
accessible
•Blown In
• Higher-pressure application
• Can lead to bowing of lathe-and-plaster without volume/pressure control
• If introduced from the exterior, requires careful repair of siding.
• Spray foam versions adhere to wall materials, making product not
reversible and possible leading to future demolition/full replacement.
• Rigid Foam
• Requires full interior wall demo OR removal of exterior siding which can
disrupt design/massing
• Can be suitable for certain attic installations or if interior demo is
necessary anyway.
• Concern of moisture buildup (not a breathable product)
