5. Midtown Urban Renewal Plan Modification
Project: CSU Medical Center, Site Plan Advisory Review, SPA #150005
Project Description: This is a request for a Site Plan Advisory Review (SPAR) by Colorado
State University to construct a new medical center at the northwest the corner of South College
Avenue and West Prospect Road. The project includes a 113,000 square foot, four-story
building within an approximately 4-acre site. The site is located in the Community Commercial
(CC) zone district.
Recommendation: Approval
Planning & Zoning Board
October 8, 2015
Page 3
Staff and Applicant Presentations
Planner Holland gave a presentation of this project and reminded the Board how the Site Plan Advisory
Review (SPAR) is determined based on location, character, and extent, using the Colorado State
Statutes as the guideline. He reviewed each criterion, focusing on the concerns related to the each. He
finally concluded that this project meets all of the SPAR requirements.
Ann Hutchins, Executive Director of the CSU Health Network, began by describing her role at CSU and
giving some history of the CSU building in question, justifying the need for additional university medical
space. She also described the collaboration between Columbine Health Systems and CSU. This
medical office will be an occupational health clinic, one of two such facilities in Fort Collins.
Fred Haberecht, also from CSU, gave a separate presentation of this project, including the transportation
options currently in place, the increased parking available, and the various access points. He reviewed
which buildings would be demolished and indicated that the Landmark Preservation Commission had
also evaluated those buildings and found several needing a separate review. He also mentioned the
collaboration between the City of Fort Collins (COFC), the Colorado Department of Transportation
(CDOT) and CSU and CSU's intention to conform to the West Central Plan and COFC regulations. He
reviewed CSU's efforts to provide adequate landscaping while maintaining high standards for the
campus and the City.
Public Input
None noted.
Board Questions and Staff Response
Board members asked questions about several of the properties affected by this project, access points
other than from College Avenue, and right-of-way issues. Sheri Langenberger, City Engineering, stated
that some road -widening is anticipated, and they will work to minimize the inconvenience of that. Other
questions regarding the traffic flows were asked; Ms. Langenberger confirmed that the City has
requested funding from City Council to do some additional improvements at the intersection of College
and Prospect. Joe Olson, City Traffic Operations, also confirmed that the traffic study for this project was
very conservative; most new traffic was assumed to be coming mostly from campus (approximately
1,500 trips per day). He stated he feels confident that the traffic issues will be solvable.
Board members also asked about the possibility of having overnight beds, available bicycle parking
spaces (75 so far), the proposed hours of operation for the clinic (7:30am — 8pm), and whether
emergency services will be provided. While this facility was not designed to handle emergencies, they
will have the ability to transport patients to local emergency rooms. Ms. Langenberger explained that the
emergency areas shown on the maps are for Poudre Fire Authority and/or City emergency services
access. Member Heinz asked about the existing homes slated for demolition and whether the Landmark
Preservation Commission had evaluated them for historical importance and Mr. Haberecht replied that
the LPC had identified several homes requiring further evaluation. Board members asked whether
moving these or other homes had been considered; Mr. Haberecht confirmed that technical barriers exist
for moving homes (cost, receiving site, etc.).
Board members inquired
about the hours of operation and
location of the
Urgent Care
Clinic, which
will
be consistent with other
such facilities and will be located
on first floor of
the building.
Urgent Care
will
9
Planning & Zoning Board

Page 4
be open to the public in addition to CSU students as an after-hours "convenient care". Board members
asked other questions regarding the height of the retaining wall and the landscape buffering. Board
members inquired about access options, wayfinding efforts, and parking spaces planned. Planner
Holland stated that the parking ratio of 4 spaces / 1,000 square feet, assuming 20% of this building will
need medical access, which is consistent with standards, indicating that an appropriate number of
spaces have been planned. Several questions were asked about the number of daily visits anticipated
and if there would be a way to prevent others from parking in this lot. Mr. Haberecht responded that this
area would be subject to university control, especially during events, in order to preserve the parking for
core functions.
Board Deliberation
Member Hart made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board approve the SPAR #150005 for
CSU Medical Center based on the findings of fact on page 3 of the staff report. Member Heinz
seconded the motion. Several Board members voiced their appreciation to CSU and City Staff for their
diligence in developing this project. Vote: 7:0.
Member Hansen recused himself at 7:10pm due to a conflict of interest.
Project: Affinity at Fort Collins
Project Description: This Project Development Plan (PDP) would create 161 new apartment units for
seniors (age 55 and up) on an undeveloped 8.4-acre parcel accessed from Corbett Drive, north of Lowes
home improvement store.
The units are all contained in a single three-story building with a footprint of 62,731 square feet. Units
are a mix of 1 and 2-bedroom units totaling 246 bedrooms. A community building with a pool anchors a
1.3-acre multi -use outdoor space with walkways, gardens, BBQ area, and recreational features. 263
parking spaces are provided in a mix of surface parking, garage spaces, and carport spaces. Access is
via a private drive extended northward from the cul-de-sac terminus of Corbett Drive. The access
configuration is largely directed by City Engineering, Transportation, and Planning staff.
Modifications of standards
are requested for wall
length
of perimeter garages, a buffer yard setback for
perimeter garages, and to
allow the private drive
access
configuration mentioned above.
Recommendation: Approval
Staff and Applicant Presentations
Clark Mapes, Planner, gave a brief presentation of this project, finding that the proposal is in compliance
with the Land Use Code standards, including all modifications. Linda Ripley, with Ripley Design, Inc.,
also gave a presentation of this project, including an overview of the community development (retail,
residential, etc.) and the vehicular and pedestrian accesses. She provided graphics of the buildings,
including the fencing features, bicycle parking (278 spaces onsite), and the architectural renderings of
the buildings. She discussed the three modifications being proposed:
10
Planning & Zoning Board
October 8, 2015
Page 5
• Mod 1: Increasing the length of garages (60' rather than 55') to accommodate 9' garage doors
• Mod 2: Decreasing the west side setbacks (25' minimum requirement)
• Mod 3: Accessing private drive sidewalk rather than using Corbett Drive sidewalk
Scott Morris, with Inland Group (developer, contractor and owner of Affinity project), explained how this
project was designed to fill a gap in senior housing. He discussed the proposed amenities and how it is
designed to be more affordable while providing independent living. He also showed some conceptual
picture of interior rooms. Ms. Ripley told the Board that they will be reserving 10% of units for
households earning less than 80% of the area median income, adjusted for household size. They have
held two neighborhood meetings and have altered the project based on input. She concluded by
reviewing the principles and policies that this project meets.
Public Input
Russell Holdredge, 4057 Harrington Court, asked how access from Kingsley will be controlled to ensure
its availability to emergency services and bicycles rather than autos.
Board Questions and Staff Response
Mr. Morris responded to the citizen question by showing the street access points and how fencing and
landscaping will prevent vehicular access other than emergency vehicles. Board members asked
questions about the location of the dog park, the configuration of the units (including garages), the prices
of the units (including the 10% with discounted prices), and the lack of articulation regarding the roof
lines.
Planner Mapes explained that the garages serve the function of a fence because of their placement and
spacing; he will work with the team about the possible garage colors and whether a second garage
should be added. The main building is 600' long, but the wings on each side and the northern pool
building create a transitional feature as well. Given the distances and surrounding buildings, he feels the
building and perimeter landscaping is well -designed. Board members asked whether there will be short-
term or sub -leasing and whether the rent on the 10% affordable units could be raised above certain
levels. Mr. Morris stated that there will be onsite management, although not a requirement.
Board Deliberation
Member Hart would like to see more articulation but feels the project does meet the intent of protecting
the surrounding properties. Vice Chair Kirkpatrick stated she understands the reason for the garage
modifications. Member Hart made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board approve the
modification of standard to section 3.5 (2)(D) of the Land Use Code to allow buildings to be
placed in direct relation to a private drive rather than a street, based upon the findings of fact on
page 10 of the staff report. Member Hobbs seconded the motion. Vote: 6:0.
Member Hart made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board approve the modification of
standard to section 3.5 (2)(G)(1)(a) of the Land Use Code to allow rear garage walls to exceed the
stated 55' limit as described in the findings of fact on page 10 of the staff report. Member
Schneider seconded the motion. Vote: 6:0.

Member Hart made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board approve the modification of
standard to section 3.8.30(F)(1) of the Land Use Code to allow a portion on the required 25' buffer
yard abutting single-family homes to be reduced to 20' based on the findings of fact on page 10
of the staff report. Member Hobbs seconded the motion. Vote: 6:0.
Member Hart made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board approve the Affinity at Fort
Collins PDP #150010 based on the findings of fact found on page 10 of the staff report. Member
Heinz seconded the motion. Vote: 6:0.
The Board took a break at 7:55pm and resumed at 8:05pm.
Project: Fort Collins Hotel Parking Garage
Project Description: This project proposes to construct a 3-level mixed -use parking garage with 325
parking spaces and 3,200 square feet of retail space at the corner of Chestnut and Jefferson Streets (363
Jefferson Street). The parking garage is proposed as a public -private partnership between the City of Fort
Collins, the Downtown Development Authority, and the developers of the Fort Collins Hotel (Bohemian
Companies, McWhinney, and Sage Hospitality). 113 parking spaces will be dedicated to the Fort Collins
Hotel (approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on August 10, 2015) and 212 parking spaces will be
public parking managed by the City.
Recommendation: Approval
Secretary Cosmas reported that two items had been received since the work session: the LPC findings
of fact and conclusion from their September 28t" hearing recommending approval, and an updated
modification request from 4240 Architecture, Inc., regarding the size of the parking stalls.
Staff and Applicant Presentations
Planner Lorson gave a brief overview of the project, showing slides of the site map, renderings and the
overall project dimensions. He stated that the right-of-way improvements are consistent with those
pertaining to the Fort Collins Hotel. He also reviewed the modification request details, answering some
questions that were previously brought up at the work session regarding the number of parking spaces
used seasonally by existing Fort Collins garages and showing capacity images of each. Lou Bieker,
4240 Architecture, also reviewed some of the major points of the project, incorporating the role of the
hotel and the River District into the overall design. He also illustrated some of the colors and textures
planned for the hotel, as well as the external landscaping plans for the project.
Public Input
None noted.

Board Questions and Staff Response
Board members asked about the future occupation of the associated retail spaces, the modification
impacts, and long- and short-term parking needs of patrons. Larry Hofmockel, with Walker Parking
Consultants, stated that compliance with the City code would require elimination of an entire row of the
parking spaces planned; therefore, the modification is important. He added that the hotel -level parking is
considered long-term parking. There was in-depth discussion about the size of parking spaces with
respect to the various hotel levels and the parking needs. Josh Birks, Economic Health Director for
COFC, informed the group that his team has worked with Parking Services regarding the modifications to
standards and he believes they are consistent with the other facilities in town.
Board members also asked about the parking stall degrees relative to the distance when accessing the
stall and the justification for needing 20 feet for pulling out of an angled stall (pertains to the request for
modification for angled drive aisle standards). Planner Lorson suggested that perhaps the code should
be updated to better reflect the standards and requirements. Board members also asked who owns this
structure for future maintenance and security. Mr. Birks responded that there are several owners of the
parking areas (FC Hotel, Bohemian, and the COFC). Each owner will operate will operate different
floors, and a Condo Association will be established to specify the maintenance of garage.
Board members inquired about the progress in wayfinding, and Planner Lorson responded that there
would not be wayfinding established with this application. He acknowledged that this is currently part of
the Downtown Plan discussion. He added that the code standards have been reviewed extensively and
tests were done to ensure larger vehicles would be accommodated. Chair Carpenter asked about the
safety factors for drive aisle widths from an auto and a pedestrian standpoint. Board members asked
about the projected bike parking and whether alternative compliance was being proposed and whether
the P&Z Board would be the final decision maker for this project. The P&Z Board is the final decision
maker; however, it will be heard by the City Council eventually from a legislative standpoint. Mr. Bieker
also confirmed that this will be a public parking facility.
Board Deliberation
Each Board member presented their opinion: Chair Carpenter supports; Member Hart supports but has
some concerns with the modifications; Member Hobbs supports, especially the public/private partnership,
but still has some concern with the proximity to the transient population; Member Schneider does not
support the modification related to large and small vehicles, coupled with the low demand for this parking
garage; Vice Chair Kirkpatrick supports and would like to see a future review of the land use code
standards for parking; Member Hansen supports this project; and Member Heinz supports but still has
concerns over whether another parking garage is needed. Member Hart made a motion that the
Planning and Zoning Board approve the modification of standard to subsection 3.22(L) of the
Land Use Code related to the size of parking spaces based on the findings of fact on page 10 of
the staff report. Member Hansen seconded the motion. Vote: 6:1 with Member Schneider
dissenting.
Member Hobbs made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board approve the Fort Collins Hotel
Parking Garage PDP#150018 based on the findings of fact on page 10 of the staff report.
Member Hansen seconded the motion. Vote: 7:0.

Project: Midtown Urban Renewal Plan Modification
Project Description: The purpose of this item is for the Planning and Zoning Board to determine
whether two proposed modifications to the Midtown Plan are in conformity with City Plan. This Resolution
follows the action taken by the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority Board (the "URA Board") at its
September 8, 2015 meeting and City Council at its September 15, 2015 meeting. One modification would
remove the territory in the Midtown Plan area that is currently not in either of the Midtown Plan's two
approved tax increment financing district, Prospect South and Foothills Mall (other than the area
preserved in the plan to connect the two tax increment financing districts). The other modification would
amend wording in the Midtown Plan to clarify that the Plan identifies and describes only one urban
renewal project.
Recommendation: Approval
Secretary Cosmas reported that, since the work session, 3 documents have been received: a resolution
for the Board approval, a boundary map from the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority (URA) showing
existing Midtown boundaries and a separate map showing proposed Midtown boundaries.
Staff and Applicant Presentations
Josh Birks, Economic Health Director, along with Patrick Rowe, Interim Redevelopment Program
Coordinator, gave a brief overview of this project and the proposed modifications. He explained that,
when House Bill 2015-1348 was passed (the Urban Renewal Reform Bill), substantial changes were
made to the way urban renewal operates in the state by adding additional representation to the school
districts, the County, and special districts. He added that new plans or amendments/modifications to
plans will have to go through a process of discussion and negotiation with the taxing entities to determine
tax allocations. Staff is proposing this modification to create some insulation for the existing tax
increment districts and the projects within them from potential changes that may occur after January V.
Public Input
Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant Road, has a concern that the URA exists only to reform the slums
and blighted areas within Fort Collins; he doesn't feel that this modification complies with City policy or
that due process has been properly followed.
Board Questions and Staff Response
Mr. Birks responded to the citizen's concerns by saying that he has consulted with both the City Attorney
and outside counsel that specializes in URA in both the formation of the Midtown district as well as in the
substantial modification.
Mr. Birks clarified that the goal was not too compromise the financial commitments that had already been
made by the URA; the concern was that the modifications and additional tax increments in Subdistrict
areas within the Plan, that might be considered a modification under the new House Bill and would have
to be re-evaluated. He also wants to recognize that future urban renewal activities should be done using
the tax levies as a financing tool. He confirmed that the mall would not comply with the new bill
requirements; therefore, it would be excluded. Mr. Birks stated that there are $53M in committed bonds
14
Planning & Zoning Board
October 8, 2015
Page 9
that need to be supported. The intent is not to retroactively impact existing plans. Board members also
asked what the implications would be if this modification isn't approved: the likely result would be bond
default. Member Heinz also inquired about the projected income to the City; Mr. Birks responded that it
is projected to be about $100 million over 25 years. Member Schneider asked about statutory conditions
of blight existing; a fair estimate of cost and impact would be developed to project a fiscal impact model.
Assistant City Attorney Yatabe suggested that the P&Z Board focus on whether the modifications are in
compliance with City Plan.
Board Deliberation
Member Hart made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board recommend to the City Council
that the proposed modification to the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan is in conformance with the
City Plan and to authorize the Chair of the Planning and Zoning Board to sign the resolution
presented to the Planning and Zoning Board by the Assistant City Attorney. Member Schneider
seconded the motion. Vote: 6:1, with Heinz dissenting.

2015 THREE-MILE PLAN UPDATE
STAFF
Ryan Mounce, Associate Planner
PROJECT INFORMATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 2015 draft update of the Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins
APPLICANT: City of Fort Collins
OWNER: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Planning and Zoning Board forward a recommendation to
City Council to approve the 2015 update to the Three -Mile Plan for the City of
Fort Collins.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins (Plan) is a policy document for coordinating potential future
annexations and provision of services. Colorado State Statutes Section 31-12-105 requires cities to complete a
plan within three miles in any direction from any point of their municipal boundary to describe the general location,
character, utilities, and infrastructure for areas of potential annexation. These plans must also be updated on an
annual basis.
The 2015 update to the Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins is routine and recurring and highlights newly -
adopted or revised plans and documents applicable to those areas defined in the State Statutes. This draft 2015
update of the Plan is presented for Planning and Zoning Board review. After reviewing the Plan, the Planning and
Zoning Board will forward a recommendation to the City Council.
COMMENTS
Section 31-12-105 of the Colorado Revised Statutes requires the City to complete a plan within three miles in any
direction from any point of such municipal boundary as follows:
Prior to the completion of any annexation within the three-mile area, the municipality shall have in place a
plan for that area, that generally describes the proposed location, character, and extent of streets,
subways, bridges, waterways, waterfronts, parkways, playgrounds, squares, parks, aviation fields, other
public ways, grounds, open spaces, public utilities, and terminals for water, light, sanitation, transportation,
and power to be provided by the municipality and the proposed land uses for the area.
Item # 3 Page 1

Agenda Item 3
The Plan describes each of the items listed in the State Statute in four categories as follows:
■ Transportation -related Items
■ Parks, Natural Areas and Open Lands -related Items
■ Utilities and Related Items
■ Proposed Land Uses
The Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins lists the plans, policies, maps, and other documents that have been
adopted by the City of Fort Collins which generally describe the proposed location, character, and extent of the
specific characteristics listed above. In addition, several plans and policies listed have been adopted by other
jurisdictions such as Larimer County, Colorado State University, or adjoining municipalities, as they are also
located within the boundaries of the Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins.
As Fort Collins limits future annexations to areas within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area (GMA), the Plan
is less applicable to lands within the three-mile area beyond the boundary of the Fort Collins GMA.
There have been few changes to the documents described in the Plan since the previous update in 2014. This
annual update to the Plan represents a routine and recurring action, to ensure the City complies with the State
Statute requirements. Section II of the Plan highlights in bold newly -adopted or revised plans and documents since
the last update. A summary of newly -adopted or revised plans and documents is presented below:
Transportation -Related Items:
■ City of Fort Collins Strategic Plan
■ Climate Action Plan: Framework
■ Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards Amendments
■ Nature in the City Strategic Plan
■ West Central Area Plan
■ Transfort Bus Stop Design Standards & Guidelines
Parks, Natural Areas and Open Lands -related Items
■ City of Fort Collins Strategic Plan
■ Climate Action Plan: Framework
■ Nature in the City Strategic Plan
■ West Central Area Plan
Proposed Land Uses
■ Affordable Housing Strategic Plan
■ City of Fort Collins Strategic Plan
■ Climate Action Plan: Framework
■ Economic Health Strategic Plan
■ Fort Collins Five-year Consolidated Plan (HUD)
■ West Central Area Plan
City Plan and related elements of the Comprehensive Plan provide sufficient guidance for managing growth within
the GMA, and to some degree outside the GMA for contextual purposes. More specifically, the City Structure Plan
map shows future land use designations to provide direction for potential annexation and zoning within the GMA.
City Plan takes into account all land that is functionally related to the growth of the municipality, not just land within
three miles of the municipal boundary. Although the Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins is similar to City
Plan, it goes further in requiring the location, character, and extent of future utilities and infrastructure as well as
proposed land uses for the area. As such, the Plan takes a broader approach to the annexation and development
of land.

Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins
2015 Update
20
I. Introduction
What is the Purpose of the Three -Mile Plan?
The Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins is a policy document for coordinating potential
future annexations and provision of services, required to be updated annually per Colorado
Revised Statutes.
The Three -Mile Plan describes the general location, character, utilities, and infrastructure for
areas of potential annexation within three miles in any direction of the municipal boundary. In
comparison to a specific annexation impact report, a Three -Mile Plan takes a broader approach
to the annexation and development of land. A proposed annexation should be consistent with
the municipality's Comprehensive Plan and Three -Mile Plan, in addition to other policies.
Section 31-12-105
of the Colorado Revised Statutes requires cities to
complete a plan within
three miles
in any
direction from any point of their municipal boundary
as follows:
Prior to the completion of any annexation within the three-mile area, the municipality
shall have in place a plan for that area that generally describes the proposed location,
character, and extent of streets, subways, bridges, waterways, waterfronts, parkways,
playgrounds, squares, parks, aviation fields, other public ways, grounds, open spaces,
public utilities, and terminals for water, light, sanitation, transportation, and power to
be provided by the municipality and the proposed land uses for the area.
Updates to the Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins are routine and occur on an annual
basis. The 2015 update highlights the changes to approved plans and documents applicable to
areas within three -miles of the municipal boundary as defined in the State Statutes.
What Does the Three -Mile Plan Describe?
This Three -Mile Plan describes each of the items listed in the State Statute in four categories, as follows:
Transportation -related Items:
■ Streets
■ Subways
■ Bridges
■ Parkways
■ Aviation Fields
■ Other Public Ways
■ Terminals for Transportation
Parks, Natural Areas and Open Lands -related Items:
■ Waterways
■ Waterfronts
■ Playgrounds
Three -Mile Plan for the City of Fort Collins Page 2
2015 Update
21
■ Squares
■ Parks
■ Grounds
■ Open Spaces
Utilities and Related Items:
■ Public Utilities
■ Terminals for Water, Light, Sanitation, and Power Provided by the Municipality
Proposed Land Uses:
■ Inside Growth Management Area (GMA)
■ Outside Growth Management Area (GMA)
For each of these four categories, the plans, policies, maps, and other documents are identified that
have been adopted by the Fort Collins City Council, which generally describe the proposed location,
character and extent of the specific characteristics listed above. In addition, there are some plans and
policies that have been adopted by other jurisdictions such as Larimer County, Colorado State
University, or adjoining municipalities that are also located within the boundaries of the Three -Mile Plan
for the City of Fort Collins.
There have been relatively few changes to existing plans or newly -adopted plans within the three-mile
study area since the 2014 update. The following section highlights in bold text newly -adopted or revised
plans and documents from the past year.

Staff recommends approval of the Lodgepole Investments LLC Annexation and
recommends that the properties be placed in the G-C Zoning District.
On November 3, 2015, the City Council approved a resolution that accepted the annexation petition and
determined that the petition was in compliance with State law. The resolution also initiated the annexation process
for the property by establishing the date, time and place when a public hearing would be held regarding the
readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area.
Item # 4 Page 1

Agenda Item 4
This annexation request is in conformance with the State of Colorado Revised Statutes as they relate to
annexations, the City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan, the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins
Intergovernmental Agreement for the Growth Management Area, and the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code.
This is a 100% voluntary annexation for a property located within the Growth Management Area. The project
satisfies the requirement that no less than one -sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing City
boundary. The G-C zoning is consistent with the City's Structure Plan Map. The item is scheduled for first reading
by City Council on December 15, 2015.
BACKGROUND:
Lodgepole Investments, LLC representing the Owner along with the Applicant have submitted a written petition
requesting the annexation of two properties and right-of-way totaling 39.7 acres located approximately 670 feet
southwest of the intersection of 1-25 and State Highway 392 into Fort Collins municipal boundaries.
The requested zoning for this annexation includes the G-C District for the Lodgepole Investments LLC properties
(Tract A and B) and a portion of CDOT right of way, consistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and the
Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan.
The properties are bordered by the existing County subdivision, Eagle Ranch Estates on the west side, Interstate
25 to the east, vacant commercial properties and State Highway 392 to the north and vacant commercial and
residential properties to the south. The property is currently zoned AP -Airport in Larimer County.
This is a 100% voluntary annexation for a property located within the Growth Management Area (GMA). According
to policies and agreements contained in the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental
Agreements, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible for
annexation according to State law. The Board of County Commissioners approved the Special Review Application
for this property on March 9, 2015, with Findings and Resolution signed on April 14, 2015. As a condition of
approval of the Special Review by the County, the applicants were required to petition the City of Fort Collins for
annexation by September 30, which initiated this annexation process.
The Lodgepole Investments LLC Annexation gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a common
boundary with the Fossil Creek 392 Annexation (Ordinance No.139, 2009), thus satisfying the requirement that no
less than one -sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing city boundary.
In accordance with the May, 2013 Amended Intergovernmental Agreement, the City of Fort Collins and the Town
of Windsor will share the property tax increment and sales tax increment generated by properties and businesses
located within the boundaries of the Corridor Activity Center.
ANALYSIS:
The Lodgepole Investments LLC Annexation does not create an enclave. There are no immediate plans to
develop property within this annexation proposal area.
This is a 100% voluntary annexation for a property located within the Growth Management Area (GMA). According
to policies and agreements contained in the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental
Agreements, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the Growth Management Area when the
property is eligible for annexation according to State law.
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:

The Lodgepole Investments LLC Annexation gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing city limits from a common
boundary with the Fossil Creek 392 Annexation (Ordinance No.139, 2009), thus satisfying the requirement that no
less than one -sixth of the perimeter boundary be contiguous to the existing city boundary.
The requested zoning for this annexation includes the G-C District for the Lodgepole Investments LLC properties
(Tracts A and B) and a portion of CDOT right-of-way. The requested zoning district is consistent with the City of
Fort Collins Structure Plan and the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan.
There are numerous
uses permitted in
this
G-C District, subject
to either administrative review or review by the
Planning and Zoning
Board. The Land
Use
Code describes this
zone district as follows:
The General Commercial District is intended to be a setting for development, redevelopment and infill of a
wide range of community and regional retail uses, offices and personal and business services.
Secondarily, it can accommodate a wide range of other uses including creative forms of housing.
While some General Commercial District areas may continue to meet the need for auto -related and other
auto -oriented uses, it is the City's intent that the General Commercial District emphasizes safe and
convenient personal mobility in many forms, with planning and design that accommodates pedestrians.
The Lodgepole Investment LLC Annexation properties are also within the 1-25/SH 392 CAC overlay that includes a
limited list of permitted uses, subject to either administrative review or review by the Planning and Zoning Board.
The Land Use Code describes the Development Standards for the 1-25 Corridor as follows:
The 1-25 Corridor Standards provide standards to implement the model standards outlined in the "Development
Standards for the 1-25 Corridor, and the 1-25/State Highway 392 Corridor Activity Center in addition to standards
contained elsewhere in the Land Use Code.
PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A neighborhood meeting was not held for this project because this is not a development proposal, there is no
immediate plan to develop the land, and the project complies with State law and the City of Fort Collins Land Use
Code regarding annexations.
FINDINGS:
1. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and
the City of Fort Collins as contained in the amended Larimer County and City of Fort Collins
Intergovernmental Agreements.
2. The area meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for a voluntary annexation to the
City of Fort Collins.
3. The requested zone district, G-C, General Commercial is in compliance with the City of Fort Collins
Structure Plan, the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan, and with the policies of the City's Comprehensive
Plan.

regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area.

Agenda Item 5
1, Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: Industrial Vacant, (New Belgium Brewery)
S: Industrial Existing, Mixed -Use Commercial
E: Industrial Vacant
E: M-M-N Vacant and Mixed -Use Commercial
E: Low Density Residential Andersonville and San Cristo Neighborhoods
W: Industrial Existing Manufacturing
The site was annexed in 1974 as part of the Northeast Consolidated Annexation.
It was platted as part of the Second Replat of the North Lemay Subdivision Second Filing in 1993. It
remains vacant and undeveloped at this time.

2. Compliance with the Northside Neighborhoods Sub -Area Plan:
The site is located within the Northeast Neighborhoods Sub -Area Plan, adopted in 2005. According to
the Framework Plan, the subject site is located within an area designated as the "Industrial/Residential
Interface." This area is along the west side of North Lemay Avenue generally between East Vine Drive
on the north and Lincoln Avenue on the south. The plan states:
Item # 5 Page 2

Agenda Item 5
"The Plan establishes this new classification, in currently zoned industrial areas that abut
residential, to promote small-scale industry or mixed -use development. In essence, the
classification is an overlay district and a fine-tuning of industrial zoning.
The plan discourages heavy industry - those generating excessive traffic, odor, noise or ones
visually incompatible with the neighborhoods. For example, a junk yard, abutting residential,
should not be allowed in the interface area.
The zoning, however, will provide some greater flexibility to develop a mix of industry and
housing. Loft -style, live -work units (with ground -level retail or office and upper -level residential)
or small scale offices are good examples. A mix of live -work units could serve as "transitions"
between existing neighborhoods and existing and future industrial lands.
In addition, industrial -residential buffer standards of the Land Use Code will apply and developers
of industrial properties must adhere to requirements to provide buffers and setbacks near
residential properties but some flexibility could be provided for mixed -use developments."
In applying the elements of the Northside Neighborhoods Plan to subject P.D.P. staff offers the following:
• The subject site is across Lemay Avenue, and slightly south of the Andersonville and San
Cristo neighborhoods. While this location does not represent an abutting condition, there is a
generous amount of setback and landscaping along Lemay Avenue. For example, due to the
existing easement for the Platte River Power Authority overhead high voltage power line, the
buildings are setback from the flowline of North Lemay Avenue by 68 feet. (This flowline will
hold as the future arterial widening for North Lemay Avenue will be shifted over to the future
bypass alignment. If the bypass is constructed, the arterial right-of-way on existing North
Lemay Avenue will be reduced to the local street cross-section by deeding land back to the
abutters.)
• The proposed uses, micro -brewery and self -storage, are not heavy industry. In fact, self -
storage is considered one of the least intensive of the permitted uses in the Industrial zone
district generating passive, not active operations.
• Although the P.D.P. contains two distinct uses, and a potential third use on Lot 3, the
development is not mixed -use in the sense envisioned by the Plan. There is no residential,
no live -work, and loft -style dwelling units. Instead, the six acre site features a combination of
uses that activate the street frontages that are closest to Andersonville and San Cristo which
help buffer and screen the self -storage buildings. The future development of Lot 3 has the
potential of enhancing this mix.
• The size (7,219 square feet) and scale (one-story) of the brewery are more commercial in
character versus industrial. The self -storage buildings are well designed. These factors
combine to provide a level of character along North Lemay Avenue that is sensitive to the
neighborhoods.
• There are heavier industrial uses to the west along Buckingham with the Phelps-Tointon
Manufacturing (cabinets and doors) and Colorado Iron and Metal (recycling and metal
fabrication). The P.D.P. will contribute to transitioning and buffering these uses from the
neighborhoods to the east.

Agenda Item 5
3, Compliance With Applicable Land Use and Development Standards of the Industrial Zone
District - Article Four:
A. Zoning
Enclosed mini -storage facilities are permitted in the I zone subject to Administrative Review (Type One).
Building C, however, is 60,000 square feet and any building over 50,000 square feet must be reviewed by
the Planning and Zoning Board. Micro -breweries are permitted also subject to Planning and Zoning
Board Review (Type Two).
B. Land Use Standards - Height
The maximum allowable height in the I zone is four stories. The tallest building is Building C at three
stories.
C. Development Standards - Orientation
Both the micro -brewery and Buildings D-3 and D-4 are sited so that all three buildings abut the
landscaping along both North Lemay Avenue and Buckingham Street without an intervening parking lot or
drive aisle. The standard requires these building relationships for at least 30% of each building's fagade.
In this case, all three buildings are oriented along the landscaping for 100% of their street -facing facades.
When Lot 3 develops in the future, it will be held to the same standard.
D. Development Standards - Building Character and Color
For all
buildings, the colors are neutral
(gray tones), with a
medium color range for accents (brown, red -
brown,
burgundy).
are no white,
bright,
or reflective
colors.
There
E. Development Standards - Screening
Since North Lemay Avenue is an arterial street, and since there is land across North Lemay Avenue that
is zoned M-M-N, a 30-foot wide landscape yard is required. As designed, there will be a landscape yard
that ranges between 64 and 74 feet located between the existing edge of pavement and the three
buildings facing North Lemay Avenue.
F. Storage and Operational Areas
There is no outside storage associated with either of the two uses. For the brewery, the loading area is
located internally to the site and screened from North Lemay Avenue by a combination of setback and
landscaping in the form of five Austrian Pines.
4. Compliance With Applicable General Development Standards - Article Three:
A. Section 3.2.1 -Landscaping and Tree Protection:
Street trees are provided at the required intervals along both North Lemay Avenue and Buckingham
Street. Due to the existing high -voltage overhead power line along North Lemay, the species have been
intentionally selected to not interfere with electrical transmission at maturity.
Landscaping along North Lemay Avenue is designed to buffer the rear elevations of two drive -up storage
units - Buildings D-3 and D-4, both of which are one-story, as well as the east elevation of the brewery.
The Platte River Power Authority easement is a total of 85 feet in width with 60-feet being west of the
North Lemay Avenue flowline and runs along the entire length of the site. This allows a range of 64 feet
to 74 feet of landscaped area between the buildings and the flowline. This area contains not only a
combination of trees and shrubs, but the required water quality basins required for low impact
Item # 5 Page 4

Agenda Item 5
development per the Stormwater Utility. This amount of landscaping significantly exceeds minimum
requirements.
Along the west property line, along the rear elevations of Buildings D-1 and D-2, both of which are one-
story, landscaping is provided in a combination of trees and shrubs. Since the adjoining property is
zoned Industrial and features a manufacturing plant, this landscaping is not as dense as along North
Lemay Avenue but is sufficient to mitigate the long horizontal planes of the two buildings.
Overall, the Landscape Plan demonstrates compliance with the minimum required sizes and maximum
percentage of any one species.
B. Section 3.2.1(E)(4) -Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping:
The project is designed in such a way that there are no parking lot edges along both North Lemay
Avenue and Buckingham Street.
C. Section 3.2.1(E)(5) -Parking Lot Interior Landscaping:
The parking lot is designed to primarily serve the brewery. The interior parking lot landscaping exceeds
the minimum requirement of 6% for lots with less than 100 spaces. There are no parking bays that
exceed 15 spaces without a landscape island.
D. Section 3.2.1(E)(6) -Screening:
There is only one area of low visual interest along North Lemay Avenue where the trash, recycling and
electrical transformer associated with the brewery are located. As mentioned, this area is screened by a
closely spaced grouping of five Austrian Pines.
E. Section 3.2.2(B) - Access, Circulation and Parking - General Standard:
The onsite parking and circulation system safely accommodates the movement of vehicles, bikes and
pedestrians. An eight -foot wide connecting walkway ties the on -street bike lane on Buckingham Street
directly to the bike parking area located near the brewery entrance. This walkway is angled such that
bikes do not have to make a 90-degree turn gain access to the site. Direct connecting walkways to
Buckingham Street will lead to Transfort stops for Routes 5 and 14.
F. Section 3.2.2(C)(5) - Bicycle Facilities:
The brewery component features a bike parking area with a capacity of 54 bikes significantly exceeding
the minimum requirement for employee parking (4). The bike racks are directly visible from the patio
providing a measure of security.
G. Section 3.2.2(C)(5) - Walkways:
There are two connecting walkways that tie the brewery to Buckingham Street.
H. Section 3.2.2(D)(1) - Pedestrian/Vehicle Separation:
The site is designed to allow in -bound self -storage customers to flow through the site without mixing with
brewery traffic. Out -bound customers will mix with brewery traffic only within the western portion of the
parking lot. Brewery pedestrian and bike circulation and bike parking only intersects with the entry drive
and otherwise does not mix with vehicles in the parking lot.
I. Section 3.2.2(K)(2) - Non -Residential Parking Requirements:
The P.D.P.
provides 33 spaces. Four
of these spaces are
assigned
to the office portion of the self -
storage for
employees and customers
with 29 allocated to
the tap room
and brewery operations.
Item # 5 Page 5
MA
Agenda Item 5
The standard contains no categories for either micro -brewery or self -storage. The only applicable
category is "industrial" which is overly broad and does not account for the number visitors to a micro -
brewery tap room. Evaluating the 33 spaces by the required minimum of 0.5 and the allowable maximum
of 0.75 spaces per employee makes little sense.
Staff contends that for the micro -brewery, the nearest equivalent category by which to assess a workable
parking ratio is for "bars, taverns and nightclubs." This is because the seating arrangements and style of
service is more like a bar than a standard or a fast food restaurant.
The minimum required number of parking spaces for a bar is 5 spaces and the maximum number is 10
spaces per 1,000 square feet. The Lemay Craft Brewery indicates a tap room that is 2,796 square feet
which would yield a minimum requirement of 14 and maximum allowable of 28 spaces. As mentioned,
the P.D.P. shows 29 of the 33 total spaces dedicated to the brewery.
Absent a reliable and data -supported
ratio
between the size micro -breweries and a
required minimum
number of parking spaces,
and accounting
for employees, the proposed 29 spaces
is justified as a
reasonable approach and meets the intent
of the standard.
J. Section 3.2.4 - Site Lighting:
The lighting will be sharp cut-off and down -directional in compliance with the standard.
K. Section 3.2.5 - Trash and Recycling Enclosures:
All trash and recycling containers are fully enclosed. As is typical of a micro -brewery, spent grain will be
hauled off -site for use in agricultural operations.
L. Section 3.4.1 -Environmental and Natural Area Standards:
An Ecological Characterization Study was performed for this P.D.P. This E.C.S. concludes the following:
• The proposed development would eliminate all of the disturbed weedy agricultural grassland
from the site. However, all of the ornamental trees on the adjacent parcels to the west and
south would remain and would not be adversely impacted by the proposed project. The
project would not impact federally listed or sensitive plant species, Colorado Natural Heritage
Program listed Natural Communities, or City of Fort Collins Natural Areas, because none
occur on the site.
• The native habitats on the site were eliminated in the past and the disturbed introduced
vegetation present today only provides habitat for wildlife species capable of using highly
impacted urban areas.
• The one wildlife feature of note is the approximately 7.5 acre prairie dog colony. Relocation
of the prairie dogs is not a viable option. The project would not impact federally listed
species, sensitive species or Colorado Natural Heritage Program listed wildlife resources
because none occur on the site. Prairie dogs will be removed in accordance with state and
local regulations.
M. Section 3.5.1 - Building and Project Compatibility:
There are
two components to
the
P.D.P.,
seven
self -storage buildings and one micro -brewery. Four
perimeter
buildings would be
the
most
visible to
the two public streets.
(1.) The 7,219 square
foot
micro -brewery
is a one-story building featuring three distinct pitched
roofs.
The

interior day -lighting. Expansive glass areas reveal the inner -workings of the brewery
operation. Exterior materials include stone/slate base, metal wall panels and standing seam
metal roof panels. All four elevations are articulated with a variety of wall planes. In general,
the architectural theme is reflective of the ag-industrial vernacular found among various
buildings in northeast Fort Collins.
(2.) The 60,000 square foot three-story self -storage building is 45-feet to the ridgeline and
located interior to the site and is partially obscured by two one-story buildings along North
Lemay Avenue. The Lemay-facing east elevation is 200 feet in length which is broken up
into seven modules for horizontal relief. These modules alternate between dark gray vertical
and light gray horizontal metal wall panels. Two overhangs, with windows underneath and
supported by exposed brackets, add interest. Two stories of glass help frame both the north
and south ends. Portions of the roof are sloped offering various rooflines.
(3.) The two one-story buildings along North Lemay Avenue each contain 21,000 square feet.
The east elevations both feature a distinct base (masonry with color to match the brewery),
middle (metal wall panels) and store -front glazing, and top (metal shed roof). Each building
contains two rooflines.
Two one-story buildings (15,000 and 16,000 square feet) form the interior. Building A-2 includes
the north -facing office. These buildings feature similar materials and color but with less
architectural detail.
Two one-story buildings (3,600 and 4,200 square feet) are located along the west property line.
The northerly building has exposure to Buckingham Street and is articulated with two rooflines
(metal panels) and a series of pilasters for horizontal relief.
N. Section 3.6.4 - Transportation Level of Service Requirements:
A Transportation Impact Analysis was performed for this P.D.P. and reveals the following:
• At full development, the P.D.P. will generate approximately 471 daily weekday trip ends, 20
morning peak hour trip ends, and 59 afternoon peak hour trip ends.
• A new northbound, Lemay Avenue left -turn lane at Buckingham Street will be constructed to
accommodate the new traffic generated by the P.D.P.
• A new eastbound Buckingham right -turn lane at North Lemay will be constructed by this
project.
• Acceptable levels of service are achieved for pedestrian, bicycle and transit modes based
upon the measures in the multi -modal transportation guidelines. The site is served by
Transfort Routes 5 and 14 along Lincoln Avenue and Routes 8 and 81 along East Vine Drive.
5, Neighborhood Information Meeting:
A neighborhood information meeting was held on June 15, 2015. A summary of this meeting is attached.
The major issues, and their resolution are summarized as follows:
A. Traffic on North Lemay Avenue:
Traffic on North Lemay was identified as a major issue. Since several homes in Andersonville front on
North Lemay, there are times when it's difficult to back out of the driveway. In response, the applicant will
be required to construct a northbound left -turn lane on North Lemay. This will help relieve some of the
congestion.
Item # 5 Page 7
EEO
Agenda Item 5
B. Parking Spillover into the Neighborhood:
Parking spillover across North Lemay onto the residential streets was also identified as a major issue. In
response, the applicant is providing 29 spaces for the brewery and 4 spaces for the self -storage office. In
addition, 54 bike spaces are also provided in anticipation of customers arriving by bike. With the close
proximity of other existing micro -breweries, there will be an attraction to ride bikes versus drive cars as
has become evident over the last few years.
C. On -street Bike Lanes
Adding on -street bike lanes would be seen as an improvement. In response, the developer will be
constructing a six-foot wide on -street bike lane along the frontage of the property. This bike lane will tie
into the existing bike lane.
6. Conclusion and Findings of Fact:
In evaluating Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self -Storage Facility, Staff makes the following findings of
fact:
A. The land uses, micro -brewery and enclosed mini -storage, are permitted uses in the Industrial
zone subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Board.
B. The P.D.P. complies with the applicable land use and development criteria of the Industrial zone
district in Article Four.
C. The P.D.P. complies with the applicable General Development standards per Article Three.
D. Based on the
design of
the
site, the
extent of the landscaping and the architectural character of
the
buildings,
the
P.D.P.
is
found
to
be compatible
with
the
surrounding
area.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self -Storage Facility #150009.

Statement of Planning Objectives
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery & Self Storage Property Project Development Plan
Introduction
• The proposed site is located on the southwest corner of Lemay Avenue and Buckingham Street
The property is approximately 6.35 acres in size and is currently a legal lot in the City or Fort
Collins currently known as Lot 2, Second Replat of the North Lemay Subdivision, Second Filing.
The site is currently vacant and has no existing trees or shrubs that need to be preserved
located on -site the site is sparsely covered by native grasses and weeds.
• The property is currently annexed to the City of Fort Collins and is Zoned I, Industrial.
Microbrewery's and Self -Storage facilities are permitted in the I Zoning District, as a Type
Administrative Review but due to the total square footage of the Self -Storage Facility exceeding
50,000 square feet the Project is subject to a Type 11 Planning and Zoning Board review.
• The intent of the applicant (Fort Collins Self -Storage, LLC) is to further subdivide the property
into a total of 3 lots. Lot I shall be developed as a Craft Brewery, Lot 2 will be developed as a
Self -Storage Facility and Lot 3 shall be used as a future expansion site for either the Brewery or
Self -Storage as the need for a future expansion may occur for either of these original uses. Until
such time that future expansion is needed Lot 3 shall be landscaped and irrigated as open space
amenity for use by the Craft Brewery and Self -Storage facility.
Development Phasing
• The Lemay
Avenue
Property is
proposed to be constructed as two separate phases of
development
and shall
include the
following.
• Lot I -Block 1(1.066 Acres): The Craft Brewery Building being approximately 7,219 Square Feet
shall be built after the completion of the Self -Storage facility located on Lot 2; unless a Tenant
for the Brewery is identified during the construction of the Self -Storage facility at which time
construction of the brewery would also begin. The brewery will be responsible for the
construction of all proposed on -site buildings, site infrastructure and outdoor amenities, on-sote
Landscape and irrigation which has not previously been built by the owner of Lott, Self -Storage
Facility.
• Lot 2-Block 1(4.536 Acres): The Self -Storage site and buildings being approximately 104,000
Square Feet shall be the first phase of development and shall include the construction of the
following improvements:
o Construction of the interim roadway design of Buckingham Street including curb/gutter
and sidewalk along the south side of Buckingham, widening of the north side of
Buckingham, roadway restriping and drainage improvements to Buckingham and the
1
(-, ) J R ENGINEERING
Lemay Avenue west roadside swale. Along Lemay Avenue from Buckingham Street to
the south property boundary a new 8' wide concrete pedestrian walk will be
constructed no other improvements to the Lemay Ave. roadway are anticipated.
o Landscape and irrigation along the south tree lawn of Buckingham Street and landscape
and irrigation along the west side of Lemay Avenue between the existing edge of asphalt
and the new 8 foot wide pedestrian walk will be constructed from, Buckingham St. to
the south property boundary.
o The access Drive from Buckingham into the site will be constructed including all parking
lot areas and private drives, curb/gutter and sidewalk, pervious pavers, parking lot site
lighting, parking lot striping and associated parking lot landscape and irrigation.
o 7 Self -Storage buildings including buildings, curb/gutters and private drives, water, sewer
and storm drainage utilities and services to each building, site perimeter fencing and
gates, detention pond and LID storm drainage improvements, all landscape and irrigation
contained within Lot 2 including the detention pond area, Lemay Avenue Streetscape
landscape located between the west edge of the new 8' pedestrian walk and the
building/fence line, landscape and irrigation of the west property boundary and soft
swale areas.
• Lot 3-Block 1(0.173 Acres): Lot 3 is intended as a future building expansion site for either the
Craft Brewery or Self -Storage facility. It will initially be used as a construction staging area for
the construction of Lot 1, Craft Brewery and Lot 2, Self -Storage buildings. Once the
construction of both of these building is complete the site will be landscaped and irrigated as
shown on the PDP Landscape Plans. Any future development of Lot 3 will be subject to the
review and approval of a new Project Development Plan.
Property & Development Ownership
• Fort Collins Self -Storage is the current owner of the property and has been since February of
2015. The ownership of Lots 2 and 3 which includes the Self -Storage facility and all its building
and site improvements shall be owned and maintained by Fort Collins Self -Storage, LLC
Colorado Limited Liability Corporation. Lots I is also owned by Fort Collins Self -Storage, LLC
but may be sold in the future to a yet unnamed Owner/Operator of the proposed Craft
Brewery.
Site Planning and Overall Design Concept
• The Lemay Avenue Self -Storage Facility will be locally owned and operated and represents a
much needed service for the Fort Collins Community. The lack of sufficient Self -Storage rental
space requires that Fort Collins residences travel outside the City in order to find storage rental
opportunities. It is expected that the current "Economic Leakage" which Fort Collins is
currently experiencing in the Self -Storage market place will be reversed by the Lemay Avenue
Self -Storage development.
• The Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery is expected to employ local Brewers and Hospitality
Professionals and serve as a welcomed addition to the "Cluster" of Craft Breweries located in
the Northeast quadrant of the City. The Breweries in this area represents a "Target Industry
Z
J R ENGINEERING
i •
Cluster" that is Uniquely Fort Collins. It is expected that the Brewery will employ
approximately 10 - 12 Brewers and Brew Staff as well as 10 - 12 Hospitality Professional. The
Brewery will also serve as a magnet for educational collaboration with Colorado State
University and supporting the University's growing Fermentology Science, Beverage
Management and Hospitality majors. The Brewery will help to support and provide employment
opportunities and Professional Internship programs that will encourage and support a health and
vibrant brewing business climate present in Fort Collins.
• The proposed project is located within the City's Downtown Development Area boundary and
will be a "Catalyst" development for this area of the City spurring redevelopment of other
industrial property throughout the Buckingham Neighborhood. The project is also located
within the City's defined Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas as identified by the City's
"Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas Map". As such this development is expected to
promote the further redevelopment and revitalization of the existing and underutilized industrial
area of the Buckingham Neighborhood. The developments proximity to existing housing will
result in fewer and shorter trips for nearby residents. The development will also enhance the
economic activity and vitality of the area and providing further stimulus for redevelopment of
the surrounding neighborhood.
• Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self -Storage Facilities will represent two low intensity land
uses that are identified as allowed uses within the Industrial Zoning District. These uses are
adequately buffered form the surrounding residential areas by appropriate building setbacks and
extensive streetscape landscaping. The Self -Storage land use represents one of the very lowest
impact and low intensity land uses that could be considered within the Industrial Zoning District
thus generating very few vehicle trip to and from the site. As such the proposed uses provide
for a strong land use transitions along the edges of the industrial district.
• The proposed project will develop much needed new public facilities adjacent to its
development including ADA accessible pedestrian walks along Lemay Avenue and Buckingham
Street, landscaped tree lined streetscapes, public access to onsite plazas and site amenities
directly from the Public Right -of -Way.
• Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self -Storage Facilities will "Anchor" the intersection of Lemay
Avenue and Buckingham Street and will create a major new Gateway to the Buckingham and
Andersonville Neighborhoods thus punctuating the importance of this historic area of Fort
Collins and the City's "Brewery Business Cluster".
• By "Anchoring" the Lemay/Buckingham intersection with the Craft Brewery and by providing
pedestrian scale buildings along Lemay Avenue coupled with the addition of street trees, shrub
beds and natural grass plantings, and by strategically placing plaza spaces, patios and an inviting
Biergaten adjacent to the Lemay and Buckingham Right -of -Way the Lemay Avenue Craft
Brewery and Self -Storage Facilities will greatly improve the visual quality and character of the
existing streetscape as viewed from the surrounding neighborhoods, pedestrian ways, and
vehicles passing by.
• Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self -Storage Facility was intentional in the sighting of its
buildings in order to maximize solar access and natural day -lighting to the Brew House,
Community Tap Room, outdoor plazas/patios and Biergarten areas. In addition the Self -Storage
J R ENGINEERING
50
buildings have been oriented on the site so as to allow for the possible addition of roof mounted
solar panels that may be added by the developer in the future.
• Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self -Storage Facility will encourage the use of alternative and
multi modal transportation and will capitalize on the existing Brewery Tourists trade visiting the
other nearby Brewey's located in this quadrant of the City. Additionally by providing new, safe
and high tech Self -Storage rental space to the Fort Collins market the residents of Fort Collins
will no longer be required to travel outside the City limits to find available Self -Storage rental
space thus reducing moving and storage vehicle miles traveled and reducing air pollution.
• Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self -Storage Facilities will construct new ADA accessible
pedestrian walks and facilities along Lemay Avenue and Buckingham Street as well as new on -
street bike lanes on Buckingham Street. Also the Brewery will promote alternative fuel source
vehicles by offering an on -site electric vehicle charging station for its guests and patrons.
Extensive bicycle facilities are also provided and include nearly 60 fixed bike rack parking spaces
and a bicycle repair station.
• Finally the site has been designed in such a way as to exceed the City's desired LID goals. The
Grading and stormdrainage design will allow 85% of the new impervious area of the site to
passes through an LID Stromwater Quality feature thus reducing impacts to the urban
watershed and nearby streams and downstream drainage conveyances. Lemay Avenue Craft
Brewery and Self -Storage Facility is a model for Low Impact Urban Stormwater Development.
Landscape and Site Design
• Tree Planting Standard — The project will provide streetscaping along Lemay Avenue and
Buckingham Street as well as in and around on -site parking areas, and landscaping of areas
identified within the property and surrounding each of the proposed building. Tree planting as
per city standards shall be met in order to add to the urban tree canopy of the immediate area.
The tree planting will be interspersed throughout the site, and within LID storm drainage areas
and designated Detention Pond areas as is feasible.
• Landscape Standards — It is the intent for the development's landscaping to meet or exceed
the City's standards for building, site, streetscape and parking lot landscaping. All areas that are
landscaped shall be irrigated with a permanent automatic underground irrigation system unless
they are intended to be non -irrigated. Any areas identified on the Landscape Plan to be non -
irrigated shall be irrigated with a temporary above ground irrigation system and irrigated until
such time that proper establishment of seeded areas has been achieved, a minimum of two
growing season.
• Tree Protection and Replacement — There are currently no existing trees within the
development area that will need to be removed to accommodate the proposed development
and its improvements. The landscape plans accurately identify the locations of all existing off -
site trees each labeled showing the applicant's intent for these trees to remain.
• Bicycle Parking — Given the nature of the proposed development on Lot I, Craft Brewery
Site the Developer has significantly exceeded the number of required fixed rack outdoor bicycle
parking spaces and enclosed bike parking spaces for emplyees. See Sheet I of the Project
Development Plan for a detailed accounting of bicycle parking provided for each lot.

• Walkways — Walkways within the site are located and aligned to directly and continuously
connect areas or points of pedestrian origin and destination. Walkways will link street and
sidewalks with building entries and parking lots. Pedestrian access from the public right of way
of both Lemay Avenue and Buckingham Street has been provided at three locations as shown on
the PDP Site Plan.
• Direct On -Site Access to Pedestrian and Bicycle Destinations — On -site pedestrian and
bicycle circulation system is designed to provide, and allow for, direct connections to pedestrian
and bicycle destinations.
• Transportation Impact Study — Based on a previously meeting with the City's
Transportation Department it was determined that the proposed development would be
required to submit a Transportation Impact Study which has been included with this PDP
submittal.
• Vehicular Site Access — Site access to Lots I, 2 and 3 shall be provided via a shared private
access drive connected to Buckingham Drive and shall be located approximately 40 feet from
the west property boundary so as to maximize the separation distance between the proposed
access drive and the Lemay Avenue intersection. The on -site vehicular drives have been
designed to be safe, efficient, convenient and attractive, considering the use by all modes of
transportation that will use the site.
• Trash and Recycling — Trash and Recycling containers shall be provided to accommodate the
collection, separation, storage, loading and pickup of trash and recyclable materials. Trash and
Recycling containers for Lot I shall be provided by a fully enclosed and gated outdoor trash
enclosures. Trash for Lots 2 & 3 shall be stored inside the proposed building Al (see PDP Site
Plan for the building location). Trash and Recycling shall be put outside for pickup and removal
on the designated trash collection day.
• Emergency Vehicle Access — To ensure that emergency vehicles can gain access and
maneuver within each of the proposed lots, and so that emergency personnel can provide fire
protection and emergency services, Lot I and 2 will each provide a 20' — 30' wide unobstructed
Emergency Access Easement.
Parking
• The parking needs of the three new lots and proposed land uses will be met on -site and shall
meet or exceed the City's required parking standards.
• All required parking is to be provided on -site. See Sheet I of the Project Development Plan for
a detailed accounting of vehicle parking proposed for each lot.
• A shared access and parking agreement and/or easement can be provided for Lots I, 2 and 3 in
the event the City determines it as being necessary. Access, utility, and drainage easements
have been provided and are shown on the proposed Plat.
• Parking lot drive lanes, Emergency Vehicle Access, turnaround and parking space layout have
been designed in order to provide for a well-defined circulation system for vehicles, pedestrians
and bicyclists.

Architectural Design
Craft Brewery Architectural Design:
• Building and Project Compatibility — Section 3.5.1 of the City's Land Use Code requires
that the physical and operational characteristics of the proposed buildings and their uses be
compatible with the context of the surrounding area. The proposed development, we believe
can be determined to be compatible based upon the existing business and commercial uses in
close proximity to the site.
• Architectural Character — Other than some nearby standard metal `factory' buildings to the
west, the architectural character of the neighborhood to the south is defined by small
commercial businesses and large craft breweries (Fort Collins Brewery, Odell Brewery, New Belgium
Brewery) as well as one small craft brewery, Snowbank Brewery. A block north of the site, the old
sugar beet plant (now the City Streets Department) exemplifies the old-style factory/industrial
feel of the district. These existing uses are what has influenced the design of this new brewery
with its modern -agricultural feel, blending the region's history with the surrounding industrial
zone.
• Building Size, Height, Bulk, Mass and Scale — The proposed building's size, height, mass,
and scale of the Brewery is all integral to the intended use as well as adding to the
neighborhood's character and quality. The placement of the brewery close to the intersection
of Lemay and Buckingham, is consistent with the requirements of the City Land Use Code. The
Brewhouse can be viewed through large glass openings exposing interior brewing equipment to
passers-by. The west side of the Tasting Room opens to an attractive Biergarten, which is
completely fenced per City code and fully landscaped.
o The proposed brewery is a one story building with sloping roofs. It includes a masonry
base on the front and side elevations of the buildings, combined with attractive metal
siding and glass.
• Building Materials — There is no current consistent theme of building material usage in the
area. Therefore commonly used steel building construction materials are to be utilized for the
project. Similar building forms, architectural detailing, color and texture, will be in order to
enhance the overall architectural experience in the area.
o Glare: Building materials will not create excessive glare. No highly reflective building
materials are proposed, such as aluminum, unpainted metal or highly reflective glass.
o Building Color: Wall color shades are intended to be neutral. The roof of the structure
is proposed to be a soft color as well, yet bold enough to indicate that this is not a
`factory' but rather a welcoming craft brewery. The color shades of building materials
shall draw from the range of color shades that already exist in the region (locally
quarried stone) and the surrounding natural environment.
G J R ENGINEERING

• Building Height — The height of the proposed building will be as allowed by the City's code in
the I Zoning District. The impact of this project on access to sunlight and on desirable views
has been considered. No undesirable effects are anticipated by the proposed height or
placement of the brewery building.
Self -Storage Architectural Design:
• Building and Project Compatibility — Section 3.5.1 of the City's Land Use Code requires
that the physical and operational characteristics of the proposed buildings and their uses be
compatible with the context of the surrounding area. The proposed development, we believe
can be determined to be compatible based upon the existing business and commercial uses in
close proximity to the site.
• Architectural Character — Along with some nearby standard metal `factory' buildings to the
west, the architectural character of the neighborhood to the south is defined by small
commercial businesses and large craft breweries (Fort Collins Brewery, Odell Brewery). A block or
so to the north, the old sugar beet plant (now the City Streets Department) exemplifies the old-
style factory/industrial feel of the district. These existing uses are what have influenced the
design of this of our Storage Facility with its modern -agricultural feel, adding additional character
to the surrounding industrial zone.
• Building Size, Height, Bulk, Mass and Scale — The proposed building's size, height, mass,
and scale of the Self -Storage buildings are all integral to the intended use as well as adding to the
neighborhood's character and quality. The placement of the storage buildings across the central
and southern portion of the site creates an inviting lawn and open corner for a future Craft
Brewery development on Lot I. There are seven new Self -Storage buildings proposed on Lot 2
of the site. One 3-story facility will be located facing Lemay Avenue and flanking the south side
of the Lawn. The other 6 buildings are single story and utilize sloped roofs and pedestrian scale
elements to create a dialogue of size and scale with the future Brewery site. The main facades
of the multi -level storage facility utilizes glazing and agricultural design details to enhance the
building view from Lemay Avenue and Buckingham Street
• Building Materials — There is no current consistent theme of building material usage in the
area. Therefore commonly used steel building construction materials are to be utilized for the
project. Similar building forms, architectural detailing, color and texture, will be in order to
enhance the overall architectural experience in the area.
o Glare: Building materials will not create excessive glare. No highly reflective building
materials are proposed, such as aluminum, unpainted metal or highly reflective glass.
o Building Color: Wall color shades are intended to be neutral. The roof of the structure
is proposed to be a soft color as well, yet bold to create some site connectivity to the
design narrative created with the craft brewery. The color shades of building materials

shall draw from the range of color shades that already exist in the region) and the
surrounding natural environment.
• Building Height — The height of the
proposed building will
be
as allowed by
the City's code in
the I Zoning District. The impact of
this project on access
to
sunlight and on desirable views
has been considered. No undesirable effects are anticipated by the proposed height or
placement of the 7 Storage Buildings.
Storm Drainage & LID Design
• The overall design concept related to site drainage for the Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and
Self -Storage Facility is to convey all developed runoff through porous pavement, bio-swales and
pre -sedimentation basins which are located throughout the property in order to accomplish the
required LID goals as established by the City of Fort Collins. Developed runoff from the site
will then be conveyed into a detention pond designed to meet the detention requirements of
the proposed project at full build out. The detention pond will discharge the detained release
from the site at the south east corner of the property into an existing storm drainage swale
located at the southeast corner of Lemay Avenue.
• Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self -Storage Facility has been designed in such a way as to
exceed the City's desired LID goals. The Grading and stormdrainage design will allow 85% of
the new impervious area of the site to passes through an LID Stromwater Quality feature thus
reducing impacts to the urban watershed and nearby streams and downstream drainage
conveyances. Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self -Storage Facility is a model for Low Impact
Urban Stormwater Development.

Narrative Addressing Concerns Raised at Neighborhood Meeting
A Neighborhood Meeting was conducted on June 16, 2015, at Living Waters Church. Approximately
Fifteen (15) neighbors from the notification area attended the meeting. Questions and concerns were
addressed by the applicant's consultant at this meeting. The most significant issue discussed at this
meeting by the neighbors had to do with the existing traffic congestion along Lemay Avenue which was
expressed by many of the neighbors as a problem which has existed for many years. The existing traffic
inhibits the residents from back out of their driveways in the morning. Ted Shepard, Chief Planner for
the City explained to the neighbors that there is a long term plan in place to address this existing traffic
issues along Lemay Avenue by possibly realigning Lemay Avenue in the future and by converting the
existing Lemay Avenue roadway both north and south of Buckingham Street to a local road which
would possibly no longer connect to either Vine or to Lincoln Avenue in the future. Ted also informed
the audience that although there was a plan in place to improve the existing congestion along Lemay
Avenue that the funding needed to activate this plan did not currently exist.

NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING
PROJECT: Lemay and Buckingham
LOCATION: Southwest Corner of N. Lemay and Buckingham
DATE: June 15, 2015
APPLICANT: Self Storage
CONSULTANTS: Ken Merritt, JR Engineering
Tim Halopoff, JR Engineering
CITY PLANNER: Ted Shepard, Chief Planner
As proposed, the project consists of micro -brewery and self -storage at southwest corner
of Lemay Avenue and Buckingham Street. The self -storage buildings are arranged in a
variety of configurations. One building would be 60,000 square feet, three -stories,
temperature controlled and include both drive -up and walk-through storage units. One
building would be 15,000 square feet, one-story, temperature controlled and also
include both drive -up and walk through units. A third building would be 16,000 square
feet and one-story. Four buildings would be typical drive -up mini -storage units. The
vacant site is 6.3 acres in size and zoned I, Industrial.
Unless otherwise noted, all responses are from the applicant or consulting team.
Questions, Concerns, Comments
1. How big is the pad site for the micro -brewery?
A. About one acre.
2. What about parking?
A We anticipate that the self -storage will generate very little demand for parking on an
ongoing basis. We have three spaces at the office entrance. For the micro -brewery,
we have 27 spaces. We also have nine parallel parking spaces along our frontage
on Buckingham. These on -street spaces will become available after we improve our
street frontage although these spaces will not count towards our required minimum.
3. Will 27 spaces be enough parking? We don't want cars spilling into our
neighborhood.
1
A. We think for a micro -brewery of this size, 27 spaces will be sufficient. We also
expect many patrons to arrive by bike so we have provided 57 bike parking
spaces.
4. Will there be parking on -site for a food truck?
A. Yes, we have provided space for a food truck in such a way so as to not block
parking spaces.
5. Is sole access gained from Buckingham? No access onto Lemay?
A. That's correct. We plan on a single driveway on Buckingham as the sole access
to both the self -storage and micro -brewery.
6. How was your traffic data derived?
A. Our traffic engineer derived our data from the Institute of Traffic Engineers
Handbook which anticipates trip generation rates for a wide range of land uses.
For the micro -brewery, we used two trip generation rates — one for the brewery
(industrial land use) and one for the tap room (standard restaurant). Note that
the standard restaurant was used for a trip generation rate only and that the tap
room will not be serving food. For the self -storage...
7. We have congestion at the Lemay / Buckingham intersection.
A. Our Transportation Impact Study evaluated this intersection. This T.I.S. has
been submitted to the City but we have not received any feedback as of yet. We
are aware that there is congestion and delay at this intersection during the
afternoon peak. Lemay is classified as an arterial but not constructed to full
arterial standards since there is no continuous left turn lane. Turning left from
Buckingham onto Lemay during afternoon peak is delayed because traffic stacks
up on Lemay. We intend to discuss these issues with the City's traffic operations
department as part of the development review process.
8. You mentioned that Lemay is classified as an arterial. What is Buckingham's
classification?
A. Buckingham is classified on the City's Master Street Plan as a collector street.
9. Will Lemay ever be widened between Lincoln and Vine?
A. The long term proposal (per the City's Master Street Plan) is to construct the
Lemay Bypass so that the arterial roadway swings east around Andersonville
(and San Christo and Via Lopez), then go over both the railroad tracks and East
Vine Drive, then swing back down and tie back into Lemay well north of the Vine
intersection. This will allow north -south travel to not be impacted by the train
2
crossing. Because of this long term proposal, the City may be reluctant to widen
Lemay as a short term improvement. Under the long term scenario, with
construction of the Bypass, existing Lemay could be down -graded to a local
street with the possibility of a cul-de-sac versus crossing Vine Drive.
A. Response from City: Please note that the Lemay Bypass is not a fully funded
capital project at this time.
10. Will there be a traffic signal installed at Lemay and Buckingham?
A. A full -movement traffic signal would have to be determined by the City 5s Traffic
Operations Department. As part of the Lincoln Avenue improvements, however,
the City may install a pedestrian -only signal for bikes and pedestrians.
11. What about the potential for flooding? Is the site flood prone?
A. The site is not in the Poudre River or Dry Creek 100-year floodplains. As you
probably know, the City constructed a levee along the Poudre just west of First
Street on the Oxbow property. This protects a large area from the 100-year
flood.
12. Will you be required to provide on -site stormwater detention?
A. Yes, since
the
site naturally
drains to the south, our detention pond would be
located at
the
south edge of
the site.
13.1 would like to comment that while we keep referring to Lemay, but along
Andersonville, it is referred to as Ninth Street.
14.1
heard you mention that
there is
parking on -site
for a food truck.
Please make
sure that there would be
no food
truck parking on
either Lemay or
Buckingham.
15. What about on -street bike lanes.
A. As we develop our site and improve our Buckingham Street frontage, we expect
that there will be a six-foot wide on -street bike lane along the south side of the
roadway. We intend to develop in such a way that we hold the existing curb line
constant, then stripe for an eight foot wide parallel parking lane, then stripe for
the six foot bike lane. Since the north side of the road will not likely see re-
development in the short term, the bike lane may be reduced to four feet wide,
depending on how it is striped.
16. What is the height of the brewery?
A. As you can see, the brewery is a one-story building with a large gable end. The
height will be 28 feet to the top of the ridgeline. The gable end is 1.5 story.
9
70
17. What about the height of the 3-story self -storage building?
A. This building will be 35 feet to the top. This will be lower than the existing
building to the west.
18. Is the Conceptual Review site plan available on the web?
A. Yes, all our Conceptual Review documents are on the City's website.
19. Will other property owners be responsible for widening Buckingham?
A. Yes, Colorado Iron and Metal and New Belgium Brewery will be obligated to
participate in road widening to the extent of the linear front footage.
20. Traffic in our neighborhood will just get worse. It's hard to get out of our
neighborhood whether by car or bike. This is frustrating.
A. The developer and the City are aware of the larger neighborhood access issues
in this area. Please note that the potential Capstone Multi -Family project may
allow a connection to Lincoln Avenue via internal local streets that do not exist
now. There may be public participation opportunities to influence the Capstone
overall design and circulation as the project is still in the review process, although
it appears to be on hold at the present time.
21. What about the City forming a Special
issues in our neighborhood.
Improvement District to address the traffic
A. Response From City: A Special Improvement District is a valid financing tool that
funds public improvements and would need to be approved by City Council.
There needs to enough interest from the surrounding property owners that are
interested in developing vacant property in the short term to justify such a
formation. To date, there has no interest expressed.
22. I'm concerned about the concentration of breweries in the northeast part of the
City.
A. We are aware of this concentration. Our belief is that the proposed brewery is
relatively small compared to New Belgium and Odell which are the primary
draws. Our proposed micro -brewery, however, will be much smaller and we
think we will capture patrons that are already drawn to the area and that we, by
ourselves, will not generate significant levels of new traffic. We also think that
during nice weather, many patrons will arrive by bike and we have, as
mentioned, 57 bike parking spaces.
0
71
23. Do you have any plans for parking overflow?
A. At this time, we expect any overflow parking to be parallel parking on
Buckingham.
24. How does the size of the micro -brewery compare to Equinox Brewery?
A. The Equinox Tap Room is about 4,500 square feet and our Tap Room will be
about 2,700 square feet.
25. What about the prairie dogs?
A. We have submitted an Ecological Characterization Study to the City. Our
preliminary finding is that since we are under 50 acres, we are allowed by the
Land Use Code to undertake humane eradication.
26. What is your timeframe for moving forward from here?
A. We anticipate making a submittal of a Project Development Plan (P.D.P.) to the
City in July. We would then hope to have our public hearing with the Planning
and Zoning Board in the Fall. We hope to have our Final Plan recorded in the
Winter so we can break ground in the Spring of 2016.

I. INTRODUCTION
This intermediate transportation impact study (TIS) addresses the capacity,
geometric, and control requirements at and near the proposed Lemay Avenue
Microbrewery & Self -Storage. The proposed Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage
is located in the southwest quadrant of the Lemay/Buckingham intersection in Fort Collins,
Colorado.
During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made with the project
civil engineer/planner (JR Engineering) and the Fort Collins Traffic Engineering staff. This
study generally conforms to the format set forth in the Fort Collins transportation impact
study guidelines contained in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards"
(LCUASS). Appendix A contains the Transportation Impact Study Base Assumptions
form and related attachments for the Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage. The
study involved the following steps:
• Collect physical, traffic, and development data;
• Perform trip generation, trip distribution, and trip assignment;
• Determine peak hour traffic volumes;
• Conduct capacity and operational level of service analyses on key intersections;
• Analyze signal warrants;
• Conduct level of service evaluation of pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes of
transportation.

II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The location
of Lemay
Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage is shown in Figure 1.
It is important that a
thorough
understanding of the existing conditions
be presented.
Land Use
Land uses in the area are primarily commercial and residential. There are
residential uses to the northeast and southeast (future) of the site. There are commercial
uses to the south and west of the site. The center of Fort Collins lies to the southwest of
the proposed Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage site. Land adjacent to the site
is flat (<2% grade) from a traffic operations perspective.
The primary streets near Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage site are
Lemay Avenue, Lincoln Avenue, Buckingham Street, and Vine Drive. The existing
geometry at the key intersections is shown in Figure 2.
Lemay Avenue is to the east of (adjacent to) the proposed Lemay Avenue
Microbrewery & Self -Storage site. It is a north -south street classified as a four -lane
arterial according to the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. North of Lincoln Avenue, the
four -lane arterial classification assumes that Lemay Avenue will have a grade
separation over Vine Drive. The segment of Lemay Avenue, adjacent to this site, is
classified as a local street. It is not known when the Lemay Avenue grade separation
will occur. Until that happens, Lemay Avenue does/will carry volumes commensurate
with that of an arterial street. Currently, Lemay Avenue has a four -lane cross section,
south of Lincoln and a two-lane cross section, north of Lincoln. At the Lemay/Lincoln
intersection, Lemay Avenue has a northbound and a southbound left -turn lane, a
through lane in each direction, and a northbound right -turn lane. While not marked with
a right -turn arrow, the bike lane on the west side of Lemay Avenue widens to a 12 foot
lane (approximately 105 feet long). This lane appears to be a shared motor vehicle/
bicycle lane. It functions as a southbound right -turn lane. At the Lemay/Buckingham
intersection, Lemay Avenue has all northbound and southbound movements combined
into single lanes. At the Lemay/Vine intersection, Lemay Avenue has all northbound
and southbound movements combined into single lanes. The Lemay/Lincoln and
Lemay/Vine intersections have signal control. The Lemay/Buckingham intersection has
stop sign control on Buckingham Street. The posted speed limit in this area of Lemay
Avenue is 35 mph, south of Lincoln Avenue, 30 mph from Lincoln to Vine Drive, and 35
mph, north of Vine Drive.
Lincoln Avenue is to the south of the proposed Lemay Avenue Microbrewery &
Self -Storage site. It is an east -west street classified as a two-lane arterial according to
the Fort Collins Master Street plan. Currently, Lincoln Avenue has a two-lane cross

section. At the Lemay/Lincoln intersection, Lincoln Avenue has an eastbound and a
westbound left -turn lane, a through lane in each direction, and an eastbound and a
westbound right -turn lane. The posted speed limit in this area of Lincoln Avenue is 35
mph.
Buckingham Street is to the north of the proposed Lemay Avenue Microbrewery
& Self -Storage site. It is an east -west street classified as a two-lane collector according
to the Fort Collins Master Street plan. Currently, Buckingham Street has a two-lane
cross section. At the Lemay/Buckingham intersection, Buckingham Street has all
eastbound and westbound movements combined into single lanes. The east and west
legs of Buckingham Street are offset by approximately 18 feet at the Lemay/
Buckingham intersection. West of Lemay Avenue, Buckingham Street is approximately
32 feet wide. East of Lemay Avenue, Buckingham Street is approximately 18 feet wide.
The posted speed limit in this area on Buckingham Street is 30 mph, west of Lemay
Avenue and 25 mph, east of Lemay Avenue.
Vine Drive is to the north of the proposed Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -
Storage site. It is an east -west street classified a two-lane collector according to the
Fort Collins Master Street plan. Currently, Vine Drive has a two-lane cross section. At
the Lemay/Vine intersection, Vine Drive has an eastbound and a westbound left -turn
lane and a through/right-turn lane in each direction. The posted speed limit in this area
of Vine Drive is 35 mph, west of Lemay Avenue and 45 mph, east of Lemay Avenue.
Existing Traffic
Figure 3 shows recent peak hour traffic counts at the Lemay/Lincoln, Lemay/
Buckingham, and Lemay/Vine intersections. The traffic counts at the Lemay/Lincoln
intersection were obtained in April 2014 by the City of Fort Collins. The traffic counts at
the Lemay/Vine intersection were obtained in May 2014 by the City of Fort Collins. The
traffic counts at the Lemay/Buckingham intersection were obtained in April 2015. Raw
traffic count data are provided in Appendix B. Since the counts were done on different
days, the counts were adjusted/balanced. The adjusted/balanced recent peak hour
traffic is shown in Figure 4. The Lemay/Vine intersection counts were not adjusted,
since they are the basis of the Adequate Public Facilities analysis.
Existing Operation
The Lemay/Lincoln, Lemay/Buckingham, and Lemay/Vine intersections were
evaluated using techniques provided in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual and 2000
Highway Capacity Manual (for Lemay/Vine intersection). Calculation forms are
provided in Appendix C. Using the morning and afternoon peak hour traffic shown in
Figure 4, the peak hour operation and the calculated delay for levels of service E & F
are shown in Table 1. The key intersections will meet the City of Fort Collins Motor
Vehicle LOS Standard during in the morning and afternoon peak hours, except the

Lemay/Buckingham intersection in the afternoon peak hour. At the Lemay/Buckingham
intersection, the calculated delay in the afternoon peak hour westbound approach was
commensurate with level of service F. At the Lemay/Vine intersection, the calculated
delay for the afternoon peak hour eastbound left turns was commensurate with level of
service E. A description of level of service for signalized and unsignalized intersections
from the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual is provided in Appendix C. Table 4-3 (revised
per staff comments regarding type of intersection) showing the Fort Collins Motor
Vehicle LOS Standards (Intersections) are also provided in Appendix C. This site is in
an area termed "all other areas" on the Fort Collins Structure Plan. In areas termed "all
other areas," acceptable overall operation at signalized intersections during the peak
hours is defined as level of service D or better. At signalized intersections, acceptable
operation of any leg and any movement is level of service E. At arterial/arterial and
arterial/collector or local stop sign controlled intersections, acceptable operation is
considered to be at level of service E. At collector/local stop sign controlled intersections,
acceptable operation is considered to be at level of service C for any approach leg.
Pedestrian Facilities
There are sidewalks along Lincoln Avenue adjacent to developed properties.
There are sidewalks along the west side of Lemay Avenue, between Lincoln Avenue
and Vine Drive. There are sidewalks along the east side of Lemay Avenue, south of
Lincoln Avenue. There is sidewalk/curb/gutter on the south side of Buckingham Street
along the frontage of the property to the west of this site. It is expected that as
properties in this area are developed or redeveloped, sidewalks will be installed as part
of the street/property infrastructure.
Bicycle Facilities
Bicycle lanes exist along Lincoln Avenue, Lemay Avenue, Buckingham Street,
and Vine Drive within the study area. The bike lane on the south side of Buckingham
Street, adjacent to the property to the west of the site, is 10-11 feet wide. This segment
appears to have on -street parking.
Transit Facilities
Currently, this area of Fort Collins is served by Transfort routes 5 and 14.

III. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage is a proposed commercial
development. Figure 5 shows a site plan of Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -
Storage. Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage is proposed as an approximately
8,200 square foot microbrewery with taproom and approximately 104,575 square feet in
a self -storage facility. Primary access to Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage
will be via a full -movement access to/from Buckingham Street. The short range
analysis (Year 2020) includes development of the Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -
Storage site and an appropriate increase in background traffic, due to normal growth,
and other approved or expected developments in the area.
Trip Generation
Trip generation is important in considering the impact of a development such as this
upon the existing and proposed street system. A compilation of trip generation information
contained in Trip Generation, 9t" Edition, ITE was used to estimate trips that would be
generated by the self -storage portion of this site. For the self -storage, Land Use Code
151 — Mini -warehouse was used. Since ccmicrobrewery" is not a land use category
contained in the cited reference, a combination of trip generation sources was used. The
Microbrewery will have a taproom at 2,285 square feet and a brew house at 5,052
square feet. For the taproom, Land Use Code 925 - Drinking Place was used from the
cited reference. For the brew house portion of the Microbrewery, it assumed that a
maximum of 6 employees would work in the brew house based upon the information
from research (3 trips per day per employee & all ingress in AM and egress in PM).
This employee trip generation was compared to Land Use Code 110 - Light Industrial.
Since the trip generation was comparable, an average of the two was used. Table 2
shows the daily and peak hour trip generation for Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -
Storage. Full development of Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage resulted in
471 daily weekday trip ends, 20 morning peak hour trip ends, and 59 afternoon peak
hour trip ends.
Trip Distribution
Trip distribution for the Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage was based on
existing/future travel patterns, land uses in the area, consideration of trip attractions/
productions in the area, and engineering judgment. Figure 6 shows the trip distribution
for the short range (2020) analysis future. The trip distribution was agreed to by City of
Fort Collins staff in the scoping emails.
Background Traffic Projections
Figure 7 shows the short range (2020) background peak hour traffic projections.
These forecasts assume that the current street network exists in this area. Background
traffic projections for the short range were obtained by reviewing the North Front Range

Regional Transportation Plan, engineering judgment, and various traffic studies
prepared for this area of Fort Collins. Based upon these sources, it was determined
that the traffic volumes would increase by approximately 1.0 percent per year. The
Waterfield, Woodward Governor, and Capstone developments were added to the
background traffic. The Lemay/Vine intersection traffic was increased due to approved
projects in the area that are yet to be built or built out. This data was provided by Fort
Collins City staff.

Trip assignment is how the generated and distributed trips are expected to be
loaded on the street system. The assigned trips are the resultant of the trip distribution
process. Using the trip distribution shown in Figure 6, Figure 8 shows the assignment
of the site generated peak hour vehicle traffic. The site generated vehicle traffic was
combined with the background traffic to determine the total forecasted vehicle traffic at
the key intersections. Figure 9 shows the short range (2020) total peak hour vehicle
traffic at the key intersections.
Signal Warrants
As a matter of policy, traffic signals are not installed at any location unless warrants
are met according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. For the streets in the
vicinity of the Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage development, four hour and/or
eight hour signal warrants are applicable. These warrants require much data and are
applied when the traffic is actually on the area street system. It is acknowledged that peak
hour signal warrants should not be applied, but since the peak hour forecasts are readily
available in a traffic impact study, it is reasonable to use them to get an idea whether other
signal warrants may be met. If peak hour signal warrants will not be met at a given
intersection, it is reasonable to conclude that it is not likely that other signal warrants would
be met. If peak hour signal warrants are met, it merely indicates that further evaluation
should occur in the future as the development occurs. However, a judgment can be made
that some intersections will likely meet other signal warrants.
Using the short range (2020) total peak hour traffic (Figure 9), the Lemay/Buckingham
stop sign controlled intersection will meet the lower threshold volume for the minor street
approach (100 vehicles) during the afternoon peak hour. The short range (2020) total
peak hour warrant is provided in Appendix D. However, other signal warrants will not be
met. It is not likely that the Lemay/Buckingham intersection will be signalized.
Geometry
Figure 10 shows a schematic of the short range (2020) geometry. The eastbound
right -turn volumes, at the Lemay/Buckingham intersection, indicate the need for a right -
turn lane. The eastbound right -turn lane may not be required when Lemay Avenue reverts

to a local street classification. Therefore, it is recommended that the south curb of
Buckingham Street (adjacent to this site) not be widened to provide a right -turn lane.
Rather, the on -street parking lane and the bike lane be used (and striped) to provide for
the right -turning motor vehicle traffic and the bike traffic. This will require temporary
elimination of the on -street parking adjacent to this site. The eastbound left -turn and
through movements will be in the same lane, which will approximately align with the
existing east leg of Buckingham Street. This will require widening on the north side of the
west leg of Buckingham Street. Design details will be prepared by the project civil
engineer.
Since Lemay Avenue does/will carry traffic volumes commensurate with that of an
arterial street, Figure 10 shows that a northbound and a southbound left -turn lane is
required at the Lemay/Buckingham intersection. These left -turn lanes are required with
the current traffic volumes. It is doubtful that these left -turn lanes will be required when
this segment of Lemay Avenue reverts to the local street classification. That said,
implementation of these left -turn lanes would require widening Lemay Avenue, south and
north of the subject intersection. This may require additional right-of-way to accomplish
the widening. As noted in the "Operation Analysis" section, the addition of the northbound
and southbound left -turn lanes results in a calculated reduction in delay on the minor street
legs at the Lemay/Buckingham intersection. It is suggested that the practical difficulties of
building these left -turn lanes be the subject of City and developer discussions as the
proposed Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage project proceeds through the City
development review process. The traffic volume on this segment of Lemay Avenue may
approach/exceed the upper end of the range for a two-lane arterial street. However, since
this segment of Lemay Avenue will revert to a local street in the future, it is likely that it will
not be widened.
Operation Analysis
Operation analyses were performed at the key intersections. The operation
analyses were conducted for the short range analysis, reflecting a year 2020 condition.
In the intersection operation tables, the calculated delay for each movement/leg is
provided when the level of service falls in the LOS E/F categories.
Using the short range (2020) background peak hour traffic volumes, the key
intersections operate as indicated in Table 3. The background traffic analyses at the
Lemay/Buckingham intersection were run with the existing geometry on Buckingham
Street and Lemay Avenue. It was also run with the geometry shown in Figure 10.
Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix E. The key intersections
operate acceptably with existing control and geometry in the morning and afternoon
peak hours, except for the Lemay/Vine and Lemay/Buckingham intersections in the
afternoon peak hour. At the Lemay/Vine intersection, the calculated delay for the
afternoon peak hour westbound left -turn will be commensurate with level of service F.
At the Lemay/Buckingham intersection, the calculated delay for the afternoon peak hour
eastbound and westbound approaches is commensurate with level of service F with and

without the northbound and southbound left -turn lanes on Lemay Avenue, and the
eastbound right -turn lane on Buckingham Street. In an urban environment along arterial
streets, this level of delay is normal during the peak hours. The addition of the northbound
and southbound left -turn lanes on Lemay Avenue results in a calculated reduction in delay
on the minor street legs at this intersection. The calculated delay on the west leg of
Buckingham Street is further reduced with the eastbound right -turn lane. The calculated
delay on the west leg of Buckingham Street is further reduced with the eastbound right -
turn lane. However, there is no change in the calculated delay to the northbound and
southbound legs on Lemay Avenue. This is counter -intuitive. The analyses show zero
delay to the through movements even though there is delay shown for the left -turn
movements. It is acknowledged that the through traffic on Lemay Avenue would be
delayed without the left -turn lanes whenever a left -turning vehicle is present. However,
this is not reflected in the calculated delay for the Lemay Avenue legs as shown in Table 3.
Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 9, the key intersections operate in the
short range (2020) total condition as indicated in Table 4. Calculation forms for these
analyses are provided in Appendix F. The key intersections operate similar to the
background operation with existing control and geometry in the morning and afternoon
peak hours. At the Lemay/Vine intersection, the calculated delay for the afternoon peak
hour westbound left -turn will be commensurate with level of service F. However, this
project does not have a significant negative impact at the Lemay/Vine intersection since
the project traffic causes less than a two percent increase in the intersection delay. At
the Lemay/Buckingham intersection, the analyses were conducted with and without the
eastbound right -turn lane on Buckingham Street and the northbound and southbound left -
turn lanes on Lemay Avenue. The calculated delay for the eastbound and westbound
approaches during the afternoon peak hour is commensurate with level of service F with
and without the additional lanes. In an urban environment along arterial streets, this level
of delay is normal during the peak hours. The addition of the northbound and southbound
left -turn lanes on Lemay Avenue results in a calculated reduction in delay on the minor
street legs at this intersection. However, there is no change in the calculated delay to the
northbound and southbound legs on Lemay Avenue. This is counter -intuitive. The
analyses show zero delay to the through movements even though there is delay shown for
the left -turn movements. It is acknowledged that the through traffic on Lemay Avenue
would be delayed without the left -turn lanes whenever a left -turning vehicle is present.
However, this is not reflected in the calculated delay for the Lemay Avenue legs as shown
in Table 4.
Vine/Lemay Adequate Public Facilities
Proposed developments in Northeast Fort Collins are required to address the
operation at the Vine/Lemay intersection. This intersection has operational and geometric
constraints that may create an adequate public facilities (APF) issue. Succinctly, if this
intersection does not meet the overall level of service (LOS) criteria, then a development
may add traffic such that the overall intersection delay is not increased by more than 2
percent over the base condition. The intersection falls under the operational criteria of "All
other areas." In this area, acceptable operation at signalized intersections during the peak
hours is defined as level of service D or better for the overall intersection.

City of Fort Collins Traffic Operations staff has developed the base condition. The
base condition is described as the current traffic (2012) plus traffic from those
development projects that have a commitment at this intersection. Figure 7 shows the
base condition peak hour traffic. Table 3 shows the operation at the Vine/Lemay
intersection with the base condition traffic and using the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual
techniques. In the morning and afternoon peak hours, this intersection meets the
overall level of service criteria. Therefore, under the base condition, there is not an APF
issue at this intersection.
Figure 9 shows the base condition plus the site traffic at the Vine/Lemay
intersection. Table 4 shows the base condition plus site traffic operation at the
Vine/Lemay intersection. In the morning and afternoon peak hours, this intersection
continues to meet the overall level of service criteria. Therefore, there is not an APF
issue at this intersection.
Pedestrian Level of Service
Appendix G shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of the Lemay
Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage development. There are two pedestrian
destinations within 1320 feet of the Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage
development. These are: 1) the residential area to the northeast of this site and 2)
future residential to the southeast (if approved). The Lemay Avenue Microbrewery &
Self -Storage site is located within an area termed as "transit corridor," which sets the
level of service threshold at LOS B for directness and security and LOS C for all other
measured categories. Pedestrian level of service is achieved. The Pedestrian LOS
Worksheet is provided in Appendix G.
Bicycle Level of Service
Appendix G shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of the Lemay
Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage development. There is one bicycle destination
within 1320 feet of the Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage development, the
commercial to the south. The Bicycle LOS Worksheet is provided in Appendix G. The
minimum level of service for this site is C. This site is connected to bike lanes on
Lemay Avenue and Buckingham Street. Therefore, it is concluded that level of service
A can be achieved.
Transit Level of Service
This area of Fort Collins is served by Transfort Routes 5 and 14.

IV. CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
This study assessed the impacts of the Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -
Storage development on the short range (2020) street system in the vicinity of the
proposed development. As a result of this analysis, the following is concluded:
• The development of the Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage site is
feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. At full development, the Lemay
Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage site will generate approximately 471 daily
weekday trip ends, 20 morning peak hour trip ends, and 59 afternoon peak hour
trip ends.
• Current operation at the key intersections is acceptable with existing control and
geometry.
• Figure 10 shows a schematic of the short range (2020) geometry. The eastbound
right -turn volumes, at the Lemay/Buckingham intersection, indicate the need for a
right -turn lane. The eastbound right -turn lane may not be required when Lemay
Avenue reverts to a local street classification. Since Lemay Avenue will carry traffic
volumes commensurate with that of an arterial street, northbound and southbound
left -turn lanes are required at the Lemay/Buckingham intersection with the current
traffic volumes. It is suggested that the practical difficulties of building these
auxiliary lanes be the subject of City and developer discussions as the proposed
Lemay Avenue Microbrewery & Self -Storage project proceeds through the City
development review process.
• In the short range (2020) future, given development of the Lemay Avenue
Microbrewery & Self -Storage and an increase in background traffic, the
Lincoln/Lemay, Lemay/Buckingham, Buckingham/Site Access, and Lemay/Vine
intersections will meet the City of Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standard, except
for the Lemay/Vine and Lemay/Buckingham intersections in the afternoon peak
hour. At the Lemay/Vine intersection, the calculated delay for the afternoon peak
hour westbound left -turn will be commensurate with level of service F. However,
this project does not have a significant negative impact at the Lemay/Vine
intersection since the project traffic causes less than a two percent increase in
the intersection delay. At the Lemay/Buckingham intersection, the calculated
delay for the afternoon peak hour eastbound and westbound approaches is
commensurate with level of service F with and without the northbound and
southbound left -turn lanes on Lemay Avenue and the eastbound right -turn lane on
Buckingham Street. Although the Lemay/Buckingham intersection operates at this
level of service, a signal is not likely in the short range (2020) future. In an urban
environment along arterial streets, this level of delay is normal during the peak
hours at stop sign controlled intersections.
• Acceptable
level of service
is achieved for
pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes
based upon
the measures in
the multi -modal
transportation guidelines.

PROJECT INFORMATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request for a three-story multi -family building containing 59
dwelling units and 70 bedrooms. There would be 87 parking spaces and
77 bicycle parking spaces. Primary access is gained via a driveway on
Prospect Road that is limited to right-in/right-out turn movements only.
An emergency access and bike and pedestrian access connects the
project to Lake Street to the north. The P.D.P. is within the Transit -
Oriented Development Overlay Zone. The P.D.P. represents the re -
submittal of an expired project but with significant design changes. The
site is located at 808 West Prospect Road and is 1.44 acres in size and
zoned H-M-N, High Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood.

The lot at 808 West Prospect Road once contained a single family detached home.
In 2002, planning efforts to develop the property began and the project was known as 808 West Prospect Road -
The Frazier Subdivision. The first request for a P.D.P. was for a four-story multi -family building but this proposal
did not proceed to a public hearing. This was followed by a resubmittal in 2004.
In 2005, The
Frazier Subdivision Final
Plan was approved, with
conditions,
and consisted of a four-story building
with 55 multi -family
dwellings with 812
square feet of mixed -use
in the form
of ground floor commercial space.
In 2007, under new ownership, Observatory Park Subdivision replatted the Frazier Subdivision and the project now
included the existing house to the east, 730 West Prospect Road. This project consisted of a four-story building
and 66 multi -family dwelling units with the existing house at 730 West Prospect Road being designated as an
office. This Final Plan began land development and building construction which proceeded as far as installing

utilities, excavating the basement and pouring the foundation. Due to the great recession, this project was abruptly
terminated, building permit fees were refunded, vested rights were expired and foreclosure proceedings involved
not only the owner but also a failed bank and the F.D.I.C. Since 2007, the exposed foundation and security
fencing was all that resulted from Observatory Park, hence earning the name "The Slab."
After foreclosure proceedings, the 808 and 730 West Prospect Road were purchased by C.S.U. Research
Foundation. The current P.D.P. utilizes the existing utilities and the basement and foundation as the building
footprint. The project represents a collaborative effort between the applicant and C.S.U.R.F. but only for 808 West
Prospect Road, Lot One of the Observatory Park Subdivision.
2, West Central Area Plan:
The West Central Area Plan was adopted in March of 2015 and reaffirmed the validity of both the existing
geography and development parameters of the H-M-N zone. This is the area south of the C.S.U. campus
bounded by West Prospect Road, Shields Street, Lake Street and Whitcomb Street. With regard to the H-M-N
zone, the W.C.A.P. states:
"Given the numerous parcels that comprise this area, new development will likely occur through multiple
small or medium scale projects. Sensitivity to historic structures will require careful design solutions and
collaboration with the Landmark Preservation Commission."
"This area is expected to build out in accordance with the existing zoning, with residential density at a
minimum of 20 dwelling units per acre. While five -story buildings are allowed, the height, mass and scale
of buildings will be critically evaluated to achieve compatibility with adjacent development and to positively
impact the neighborhood and community. The allowable density and proximity to campus create
opportunities for mixed -use buildings and campus -related uses as well."
"Land Use Policy 1.9 - Neighborhood Character: The height, mass and scale of new development in the
High Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (HMN) zone district... should be compatible with adjacent
development and sensitive to the context of the area."
"Land Use Policy 1.10 - Emphasize and respect the existing heritage and character of neighborhoods
through a collaborative design process that allows for neighborhood dialogue. The neighborhoods are
generally characterized by Craftsman, Prairie and Mid -Century Modern architectural styles (and their
various derivations). These styles are well -accepted and should serve as a starting point for achieving
neighborhood compatibility."
Staff finds that The Slab Property P.D.P. fulfills the vision of the Plan in the following manner:
• The P.D.P. demonstrates sensitivity to the historic houses to the east.
• The P.D.P. exceeds the minimum required density of 20 dwelling units per acre.
• The building is three stories, not five, to achieve compatibility.
• The building is influenced by the Craftsman style and the height, mass and scale are mitigated by a variety
of architectural elements and details.
• The placement of multi -family housing at the south edge of campus will promote alternative modes of
transportation to and from the main campus.
3. Compliance with Applicable Standards of the H-M-N Zone:
A. Section 4.10(B)(3) -Land Use:
As a residential use consisting of more than 50 multi -family dwellings, the P.D.P. is permitted in the H-M-N zone
district subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Board.
B. Section 4.10(D)(1) -Density:
Item # 6 Page 3
103
Agenda Item 6
The P.D.P.
contains 59
dwelling
units
on 1.44
acres for a density of 41 dwelling units per acre which exceeds the
required
minimum
of
20
dwelling
units
per
acre.
C. Section 4.10(D)(2)(a) -Dimensional Standards -Maximum Height:
The P.D.P. is three stories which is below the maximum allowable height of five stories.
D. Section 4.10(D)(2)(b) -Dimensional Standards -Setbacks:
This standard requires that for all setbacks, building walls over 35 feet in height must be setback an additional one
foot beyond the minimum required, for each two feet of wall that exceeds 35 feet. The issue at hand for
interpreting this standard is determining the minimum required setback. Unfortunately, the Code is not clear. To
wit:
(1.) 2005 - Mixed -Use Building - Section 3.5.3(C)(2)(c)
In 2005, the Final Plan (now expired) included 812 square feet of non-residential lease space for a tenant capable
of providing goods or services for the residents. This qualified the building as "mixed -use" which then required
compliance with the build -to line of Section 3.5.3(C)(2)(c) (between 10 and 25 feet) and not the minimum required
setback. As a result of the build -to line standard, the building was placed 15 feet back from the front property line
(as measured from the new property line after a dedication of public right-of-way of 21 feet). Note that if the
building was not considered mixed -use, then the required minimum front yard setback, at that time, per the H-M-N
standard 4.10(D)(2)(b), was 45 feet, a standard considered unrealistic due to the shallowness of the parcels
fronting on Prospect Road, and since deleted.
Now, The Slab Property P.D.P proposes a leasing office of 415 square feet. Staff interprets the leasing office to
be accessory to the principal use and, without offering goods and services to the public, is not sufficient to qualify
the building as mixed -use. Therefore, Section 3.5.3(C)(2)(c) does not apply.
(2.) Residential Building Setbacks - Arterial Streets - Section 3.5.2(E)(1)
Since the front setback standard of 45 feet has been deleted out Article Four H-M-N zone district standards, the
governing regulation is found in the General Development standards of Article Three. Section 3.5.2(E)(1) requires
buildings to be setback from arterial streets by 30 feet except for those buildings regulated by Section 3.8.30.
(Emphasis added.)
(3.) Multi -Family Development Standards - 3.8.30
These standards, under Section 3.8.30(E)(3), require that the minimum front setback along an arterial street shall
be 15 feet.
But, under the applicability section of 3.8.30(A), the standard states explicitly that:
"Multi -family developments in the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay Zone are exempt from subsections
(C) and (E) of this Section. "
(4.) Transit Oriented Development - Section 3.10
But, under the applicability section of 3.10.1(A), the standard states explicitly that:
"These standards apply to applications for development within the boundary of the TOD Overlay Zone, south of
Prospect Road..."
(5.) Staff Interpretation - Section 3.5.2(E)(1) Applies
When confronted with internal conflicts within the Code, Staff is guided by two sections in Article One:
Item # 6 Page 4
104
Agenda Item 6
Section 1.4.9 - Interpretations:
"in the interpretation and application of any provision of the Land Use Code, such provision shall be held to
be the minimum requirement adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience
and general welfare. Where any provision of the Land Use Code imposes greater restrictions upon the
subject matter than another provision of the Land Use Code, the provision imposing the greater restriction
or regulation shall be deemed to be controlling. In other words, the more stringent controls over the less
stringent.
Section 1.7.2 - Conflict with Other Laws:
"Except as is provided in Section 3.1.2, if the provisions of this Land Use Code are internally conflicting or
if they conflict with any other statute, code, local ordinance, resolution, regulation or other applicable
Federal, State or local law, the more specific standard, limitation or requirement shall govern or prevail to
the extent of the conflict. If neither standard is more specific, then the more stringent standard, limitation or
requirement shall govern or prevail to the extent of the conflict."
Staff interprets that lacking any clear front yard setback standard under H-M-N, Multi -Family Development or TOD
sections, reverting back to the General Development Standard of Section 3.5.2 fl(1) would prevail as this
standard is the most stringent. This standard requires a 30 foot setback from Prospect Road.
(6.) Staff Finding
Since the adoption of the Land Use Code, Staff has consistently interpreted both required minimum setbacks and
mandatory build -to lines in such a way as to not be applied to existing buildings. It has never been considered
reasonably feasible to move or demolish existing buildings to satisfy these standards. This allows the Code to be
administered to the extent reasonably feasible for projects approved under prior law. For reference, the definition
of "extent reasonably feasible" is as follows:
Extent reasonably feasible shall mean that, under the circumstances, reasonable efforts have been
undertaken to comply with the regulation, that the costs of compliance clearly outweigh the potential
benefits to the public or would unreasonably burden the proposed project, and reasonable steps have
been undertaken to minimize any potential harm or adverse impacts resulting from noncompliance with the
regulation.
In this case, the existing foundation is substantial due to both its depth (full basement) and its size (118' x 83' not
including window wells). The only portion of the building that is constructed is the basement and foundation (along
with utilities). While there may be a 600 square foot leasing office, Staff finds that this non-residential component
does not rise to the level of being mixed -use, but is still significant enough to be considered equivalent to an
existing structure.
By utilizing the existing foundation, there is an efficiency that is gained resulting in a more sustainable
development. Further, the foundation was established per an approved Final Plan and Building Permit (2007) that
preceded the adoption of Section 3.8.30 - Multi -Family Development Standards (2012).
Finally, if a modification is requested, it is not clear exactly what standard would need to be modified under a
Request for Modification procedure of Section 2.8.
For these
reasons, a Modification
of Standard is not
warranted and
that the
15 foot front setback from West
Prospect
Road complies with the
Land Use Code as
interpreted for
existing
buildings.
Given the existing placement of the basement and foundation 15 feet behind the front property line, and assuming
that this 15 feet represents a valid starting point for measuring the front setback, a proposed building height of 43
feet, Section 4.10(D)(2)(b) (one -foot beyond the minimum required setback for each two -feet of wall height that
Item # 6 Page 5
105
Agenda Item 6
exceeds 35 feet) would require that the front setback be 19 feet. At 15 feet, the front setback deviates from this
standard by four feet. If a Request for Modification were to be processed, Staff would find that the 15 foot front
setback is nominal and inconsequential when considered from the perspective of the entire development plan and
based on the hardship of the existing conditions.
E. Section 4.10(E)(1)(a) -Buildings -Doorways Facing Streets:
There are two main doorways to the building both located in the southwest corner. One entry faces south along
Prospect Road and one faces west and is associated with the entry plaza. Both entries are accented with
architectural features to further establish a presence.
F. Section 4.10(E)(1)(b) -Relationship of Doorways to Streets:
As mentioned, the south -facing doorway along Prospect Road allows the building to establish a connection to the
public street as well as the Sheely neighborhood.
G. Section 4.10(E)(1)(c) -Front Yards:
The building, in conjunction with the site plan, provides for landscaping between the back of the public sidewalk
and the building. In addition, the front yard includes a low entry wall, a seat wall with a column, and a walkway that
connects to the west entrance.
H. Section 4.10(E)(1)(d) -Roof Form:
The building features both flat and sloped roof forms. The building has been broken into a series of three larger
masses on both the north and south elevations, with prominent side gabled roof elements featuring shed dormers
at the third story. The gable roof forms have overhangs with supporting brackets. The various components
combine to form an interesting three-story building where the height, mass and scale are mitigated in a
proportional manner.
1. Section 4.10(E)(1)(e) - Fa9ade Variation:
The facades of the building are varied by
use
of recesses, projections,
balconies, roof
overhangs and
shed
dormers.
Along
the
east elevation,
facing
the
existing
house, the
third
floor
is stepped
back
to reduce
the
mass.
J. Section 4.10(E)(1)(0 -Outdoor Activity:
The outdoor active area is located at the entry plaza at the southwest corner of the building. This area is partially
covered with a pergola and includes seat walls, benches, patio furniture and grills. These features complement
the main entrance to accommodate informal gatherings.
K. Section 4.10(E)(2)(a) -Street Sidewalks:
The public sidewalk along Prospect Road will be detached and 10 feet wide in accordance with the
recommendation of the West Central Area Plan and the Prospect Corridor Plan so that it will function as a shared
path allowing safe and comfortable travel for bikes and pedestrians in both directions. This shared path
compensates for the narrow attached sidewalk on the south side of Prospect Road. Street trees planted on 40-
foot centers in the parkway will accentuate the urban design of the streetscape.
L. Section 4.10(E)(2)(b) -Parking Lots:
As with the previously approved plan, the parking lot is located to the rear of the building and thus screened from
Prospect Road.
Item # 6 Page 6
106
Agenda Item 6
4. Compliance with Applicable General Development Standards:
A. Section 3.2.1(C)(D) - Landscaping and Tree Protection
The P.D.P. provides street trees along Prospect Road and full tree stocking and foundation shrubs around
the perimeter of the building that does not face the driveway or parking lot. The entry plaza features a
variety of plants to soften the traffic associated with the entry drive. Existing trees have been inventoried
by the City Forester. Most of the existing trees that are to be removed are Siberian Elms. The one
Ponderosa Pine that is to be removed will be properly mitigated.
B. Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(a) - Parking Lot Perimeter Landscaping
As mentioned, the parking lot is located to rear of the building in order to be obscured from view from
Prospect Road. The western and eastern edges of the parking lot adjoin residential properties.
Accordingly, the west property line is screened by a six-foot high solid wood fence. The east edge is
screened by landscaping and four -foot high metal fence as the adjoining lot is owned by CSURF and
future integration between the lots is anticipated.
C. Section 3.2.1(E)(5) - Parking Lot Interior Landscaping
Since the parking lot contains less than 100 spaces, 6% is required to be in the form of landscaping. The
P.D.P. meets this minimum standard by providing landscaping in the form of islands and along the
entrance drive.
D. Section 3.2.2(B) - Access Circulation and Parking
The site is an infill location surrounded by existing development and Prospect Road. Connections for
vehicles, bikes and pedestrians are provided. Sidewalks will be constructed in three directions to link the
dwelling units to adjacent development and the Colorado State University campus. The emergency
access lane that ties into Lake Street will double as a bike and pedestrian lane. Bike racks are provided as
well at the northeast corner of the building, next to the emergency access lane allowing for convenient
connection to campus.
E. Section 3.2.2(C)(4) - Bicycle Facilities:
With
a total of 70 bedrooms, 70
bicycle
parking spaces
are required with 60% (42) to be enclosed and
40%
(28) that may be in a fixed
outdoor
rack. The P.D.P.
provides for a total of 77 spaces with 63 (81 %)
that
are enclosed
and
14
(19%)
in
fixed
racks.
F. Section 3.2.2(K)(1) - Parking Lots - Required Number of Spaces
There are 27 studio units, 21 one -bedroom units and 11 two bedroom units. This number of units, at the
proposed mix of bedrooms, requires a total of 59 parking spaces. 87 spaces are provided thus exceeding
the standard. The extra 28 spaces will accommodate the employees in the leasing office, potential tenants
and guests.
G. Section 3.4.7 - Historic and Cultural Resources:
There are two existing houses to the east that require the P.D.P. to be sensitive to their historic character.
The first house is the larger of the two and is located on Lot Two at 730 West Prospect Road. This house
is known as the Harris House which is set back from Prospect Road, and is not designated as a historic
landmark but is potentially eligible for such designation. The second house is smaller which is located
close to Prospect Road, and is located one parcel to the east of the Harris House. This house is known as
the Brown/Winter House and has been designated as a local historic landmark.
Item # 6 Page 7
107
Agenda Item 6
In response, the architectural design of the building reflects the Craftsman character of the two houses.
Per the formal recommendation of the Landmark Preservation Commission, issued on August 12, 2015,
the P.D.P. is found to be in compliance with this standard. The following is an excerpt from the memo to
the Planning and Zoning Board from Karen McWilliams, Historic Preservation Manager (full memo is
attached).
At its August 12, 2015 Regular Meeting, the Commission adopted the following motion on a vote of 5-0:
That the Landmark Preservation Commission recommend to the decision maker, the Planning and
Zoning Board, the approval of the Development Proposal for 808 West Prospect Road, finding that
it complies with Land Use Code 3.4.7.
H. Section 3.5. 1 (B) (C) (D) (E) (F) - Building and Project Compatibility
This section of the General Development Standards is superseded by more specific standards in Article
Four. The standards in Article Four are considered more specific and, therefore, in accordance with
Section 1.7.2, prevail over the standards in Article Three.
Section 3.6.4 - Transportation Level of Service
A Transportation Impact Analysis was performed for this P.D.P. The number of dwelling units, 59, represents a
slight increase over the original Observatory Park, 55 dwelling units but the mixed -use component has been
eliminated. Because the use is expected to be mostly student housing, the evaluation was based on the proposed
number of beds, not just the number of units. There will be only one vehicular access - a driveway off Prospect
that will be geometrically restricted to right-in/right-out only, since Prospect Road doesn't currently have a center
left turn lane.
The emergency access easement that ties into Lake Street to the north will allow bikes and pedestrians to gain
convenient and direct access to the main campus.
A pedestrian connection will be provided north to the adjoining apartment complex and the P.D.P. will be required
to accommodate any future walkway connection when the parcel to the east develops (presently under the same
ownership as the subject site).
The primary difference between the former project and the current P.D.P., however, is the addition of a ten -foot
wide, detached sidewalk along Prospect Road. Known as a "shared path," this walkway is provided in fulfillment of
the West Central Area Plan and the Prospect Corridor Plan which calls for improved bicycle and pedestrian safety
along West Prospect Road between South College Avenue and South Shields Street. By providing a shared path
on the north side of Prospect, east -west bike and pedestrian traffic will be safer than using the sub -standard
sidewalk on the south side.
The site is also within one-half mile of the Around the Horn transit service which is the free on campus shuttle with
a stop at Prospect and Center Avenue.
J. Section 3.8.30(F)(1) - Multi -Family Dwelling Development Standards - Orientation to Buffer Yards -
Request for Modification
(As mentioned, since
the P.D.P.
is within the T.O.D.,
Section 3.8.30 subsections (C) Access to a Park, Central
Feature or Gathering
Place, and
(E) Buildings do
not
apply.)
The Orientation to Buffer Yard standard requires a 25-foot wide landscaped area if the abutting property contains a
single or two-family dwelling.
There is a single family home to the west. The landscaping yard along the west property line ranges from six to 23
feet.
Item # 6 Page 8
Agenda Item 6
The applicant is requesting a Modification of Standard. As justification, the applicant states that the subject
standard was adopted 2012, seven years after the original Final Plan approval and five years after the construction
of the basement and foundation. Further, the adjoining property is similarly zoned H-M-N and the West Central
Area Plan creates an expectation that this area will undergo significant redevelopment.
No issues with regard to buffering, land use transition or compatibility have been raised by the adjoining property
owner(s) during the years that development was contemplated for the subject parcel. Finally, the landscaping
along the west property line includes a six-foot solid wood fence and a screen of both deciduous and evergreen
trees and shrubs.
Per Section 2.8.2(H)(1), Staff finds the following:
❑ Staff finds that the granting of the Modification would not be a detriment to the public good.
❑ This is because the plan, as submitted, is well -designed at three stories (versus five stories permitted
under zoning) in a manner that promotes neighborhood compatibility. The landscaping and buffering on
three sides will mitigate the impacts associated with traffic in and out of the parking lot. The west elevation
is the most articulated and detailed with the entry plaza, pergola, two entrances, and outdoor gathering
area.
❑ Staff finds that the granting of the Modification is justified by reason of exceptional physical conditions or
other extraordinary and exceptional situations, unique to such property, including but not limited to,
physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness or topography, the strict application of
the standard sought to be modified would result in unusual and exceptional practical difficulties, or
exceptional undue hardship upon the owner of such property, provided that such difficulties or hardship
are not caused by the act or omission of the applicant.
❑ This is because the site is essentially developed with grading and installation of underground utilities to a
finished condition. A building permit was then issued. A full basement and foundation were constructed.
Five years after this activity, the Orientation to Buffer Yard standard was adopted. Applying this standard
retroactively represents a legitimate hardship per Section 2.8(H)(1).
K. Section 3.10 - Development Standards for the Transit -Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay Zone
As mentioned, the TOD standards apply only to areas south of Prospect Road.
5, Neighborhood Information Meeting:
A neighborhood information meeting was held on June 18, 2015. A summary of this meeting is attached. In
general, with the reduced height, the enhanced architecture and the new ten -foot wide shared path, this P.D.P. is
seen as an improvement over the previous development plans. As is typical for a neighborhood meeting, a wide
range of topics were discussed. Overall, the various issues have been addressed in a satisfactory manner.
6. Findings of Fact/Conclusion:
A. The P.D.P. is in compliance with the West Central Neighborhoods Plan.
B. The P.D.P. is in compliance with the applicable standards of the High Density Mixed -Use zone district.
C. The P.D.P. is in compliance with the applicable General Development Standards with one exception.
D. A request
for a
Modification of Standard to Section 3.8.30(F)(1)
- Orientation to Buffer Yards - has been
submitted
and
evaluated. This standard requires that along the
west property line, a 25-foot buffer yard is
required.
The
P.D.P. indicates that the buffer yard ranges from
six to 23 feet in width. Staff recommends
Item # 6 Page 9

Agenda Item 6
approval of this request and makes the following findings:
(1.) Staff finds that the granting of the Modification would not be a detriment to the public good.
(2.) This is because the plan, as submitted, is well -designed at three stories (versus five stories permitted
under zoning) in a manner that promotes neighborhood compatibility. The landscaping and buffering
on three sides will mitigate the impacts associated with traffic in and out of the parking lot. The west
elevation is the most articulated and detailed with the entry plaza, pergola, two entrances, and outdoor
gathering area.
(3.) Staff finds that the granting of the Modification is justified by reason of exceptional physical conditions
or other extraordinary and exceptional situations, unique to such property, including but not limited to,
physical conditions such as exceptional narrowness, shallowness or topography, the strict application
of the standard sought to be modified would result in unusual and exceptional practical difficulties, or
exceptional undue hardship upon the owner of such property, provided that such difficulties or
hardship are not caused by the act or omission of the applicant.
(4.) This is because the site is essentially developed with grading and installation of underground utilities
to a finished condition. A building permit was then issued. A full basement and foundation were
constructed. Five years after this activity, the Orientation to Buffer Yard standard was adopted.
Applying this standard retroactively represents a legitimate hardship per Section 2.8(H)(1).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the following:
1. The Request for Modification to Section 3.8.30 (F)(1) - Orientation to Buffer Yards; and
2. The Slab Property P.D.P. #150016.

The Slab Property PDP
808 West Prospect Road
Statement of Proposed Planning Objectives
August 5, 2015
This project shall be titled The Slab Property - consisting of the following components:
• Multi -Family Attached (54 units)
This project includes development within the High Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood
Zone District.
Site Area Information
Parcel Size: 62,564 SF (1.44 AC)
Right -of -Way Improvement Area: 6,629 SF (0.15 AC)
Parking and Drive Area: 28,075 SF (0.645 AC)
Landscape Area (turf & shrub areas): 11,875 SF (0.27 AC)
Dwelling Units: 59
Gross Density: 40.9 DU/AC (min. 20 DU/AC)
Net Density: 43.3 DU/AC
Project Description
The Slab Property is located on the north side of Prospect Road, approximately halfway
between Shields St. and College Ave. and in the High Density Mixed -Use (HMN) zone
district. Colorado State University's campus in to the north of the property while single-
family detached homes surround the property to the east, south and west. Tenant
access is provided from Prospect Road. Emergency access is provided through an
easement to and from Lake Street. A patio area with tables and chairs will be located on
the west side of the building at the main entrance. A low wall and planting to the north
will screen the parking lot from neighboring apartment buildings to the north. Screen
planting and a privacy fence on the east and west side of the property will screen from
the existing single-family home to the west and the property to the east.
The West Central Area Plan outlines goals and visions for redevelopment in this area.
The property is within the HMN zone district where taller building and higher densities
are encouraged to provide for the residential needs of the university.
The development includes fifty-nine (59) multi -family attached units, within one building.
Basement: (12) studio units, (3) 2-bedroom units
First Floor: (5) studio units, (6) 1-bedroom units, (3) 2-bedroom units
Second Floor: (5) studio units, (7) 1-bedroom units, (3) 2-bedroom units
Third Floor: (5) studio units, (8) 1-bedroom units, (2) 2-bedroom units
111
A previous project on this site was originally designed and approved as a 4-story
apartment building with a basement and included 61 total units with (7) 1 bedroom units
and (54) 2 bedrooms units for a total of 115 beds. The basement foundation was
installed in 2008, but the project came to a stop shortly thereafter for various financially -
related issues with the previous developer.
The current proposed project has been reduced to a 3-story apartment building, utilizing
the same existing basement and overall building footprint. This change will help in
reducing the overall scale and visual impact to the neighborhood which has been
encouraged by the Planning Department, Landmark Preservation Commission and
surrounding neighborhood residents. The proposed project now consists of (27) studio
units, (21) 1 bedroom units and (11) 2 bedroom units with a total of 70 beds. This
represents nearly a 40% reduction in density over the previously approved plan. The
architectural design and use of building materials, massing and fenestration has also
been completely redesigned since the original project. The building has been broken
into a series of 3 larger masses on both the north and south elevations, with prominent
side gabled roof elements utilizing shed dormers at the 3rd story, 1 bedroom loft spaces.
The gable roof forms have extensive overhangs with large supporting brackets that are
designed to be in scale with the building, yet relate to the historic craftsman style
structures in close proximity to the site. The masses include extensive use of brick
veneer with stucco at the third level. Other materials being utilized are synthetic stone
veneer, and lap siding. The window fenestration has also been designed to relate to the
surrounding neighborhood with use of single hung windows that are placed in single and
double window unit configurations.
Adjacencies
The project site is currently a vacant parcel with an existing foundation slab located to
the north of the Sheely Neighborhood on the Prospect Road. Single-family detached
residential land uses are located to the west and south and CSU campus to the north.
Access, Vehicular/Pedestrian Circulation and Parking
Primary vehicular and pedestrian circulation is provided from Prospect Road and a 16'
wide emergency access (EAE) alley connecting the property and pedestrian flow from
Prospect to Lake Street.
• A 24' drive aisle from Prospect Road provides access to a parking lot with 87
spaces.
• Pedestrian access is provided from the southeast corner of the property via a
10' wide sidewalk, this connects into the 16' EAE to Lake Street.
• 77 bike parking spaces are provided with 63 (81%) covered on the NE corner
of the building and by the main entrance and 14 (19%) uncovered on the NE
corner and west side of the building.
• A total of 66 parking spaces are required for the project. 87 parking spaces
are provided. 47 spaces are standard, 36 spaces are compact (42.8%), and 4
spaces are handi-cap.
112
Stormwater/Detention
The Slab Project was previously designed and approved in 2007. Within the current
design, it is proposed to maintain the previously approved drainage patterns. The site is
broken into two major basins, Basin N1 and Basin S1. Basin N1 routes stormwater to
the northeast corner of the site into a proposed detention pond. The detention pond
releases into a swale and discharges directly into W. Lake St. Basin S1 routes
stormwater to the southeast corner of the site into another proposed detention
pond. The detention pond releases directly into W. Prospect Road.
1. CITY PLAN PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES ACHIEVED BY THE PROPOSED PLAN
City Plan
LIV 4: Development will provide and pay its share of the cost of providing needed public facilities
and services concurrent with development.
Access points, sidewalks and street trees/roadway landscaping within the project will be paid for by the
developer.
LIV 5: The City will promote redevelopment and infill in areas identified on the Targeted Infill and
Redevelopment Areas Map. This site is within Figure LIV1, Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas of the
City Plan and meet this policy. The HMN Zone district emphasizes infill and increased density.
LIV 5.1 — Encourage Targeted Redevelopment and Infill
This site is within Figure LIV1, Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas of the City Plan and meet this
policy.
LIV 5.4 — Contribute to Public Amenities
This site will provide pedestrian connection from Prospect to Lake Street for flow in and out of CSU's
campus and residential areas to the south of the site.
LIV 6.1 — Types of Infill and Redevelopment in Residential Areas
Adjacent to CSU campus this site will add additional needed residential living space.
LIV 6.2 — Seek Compatibility with Neighborhoods
Located in the HMN district, the architectural design shall be in context of its surroundings. Compatibility
shall be achieved through techniques such as the repetition of roof lines, the use of similar proportions in
building mass, similar window pattern, use of materials that have similarity on color shade and texture.
LIV 7.1— Encourage Variety in Housing Types and Locations
Multi -family attached housing will provide an additional housing type along the south end of CSU's campus
in a primarily single-family detached area.
LIV 10.1 — Design Safe, Functional, and Visually Appealing Streets
Well lit private drives and pedestrian plazas and walkways with low-water use planting and pedestrian
amenities such as tables and benches are included within the development.
LIV 10.2 — Incorporate Street Trees
Five additional street trees will be added to the Prospect Road R.O.W. at 40' o.c.
113
LIV 14.2 — Promote Functional Landscape
All planting will be designed with native/adaptive plants, emphasizing foundation planting.
LIV 14.3 — Design Low Maintenance Landscapes
Native and adaptive planting and a minimized turf area, reserved for functional/multi-use lawns will allow a
minimum of maintenance. Shrub beds will be maintained without excessive pruning or `snow -balling' of
shrubs.
LIV 21.2 — Establish an Interconnected Street and Pedestrian Network
The street and pedestrian network will allow access from Prospect Road through to CSU's campus at Lake
street by utilizing the proposed pedestrian walkway and emergency access easement.
LIV 21 A — Provide Access to Transit
The sidewalk connection from Prospect Road to Lake Street provides connection to the Mason Street
Corridor to the east.
LIV 22.5 — Create Visually Interesting Streetscapes
With native landscape and street trees the streetscape on Prospect Road will be visually interesting and will
provide foundation planting, anchoring the building to the site.
LIV 22.6 — Enhance Street Design and Image
Prospect Road sidewalk and R.O.W. will conform to future conditions outlined in the West Central Area
Plan. A 10' wide sidewalk with a 10' wide tree lawn will provide safety and comfort for pedestrians and
cyclists.
LIV 23.1 — Provide Neighborhood Parks and Outdoor Spaces
With the limited space on Prospect the development will have a combination of lawn and native landscape
combined with a seating plaza and picnic area.
LIV 26.3 — Promote Compatibility of Uses
The multi -family attached building provides a compatibility with the adjacent single-family residential uses to
the east and west in through building step backs, massing and residential scale elements. The landscaping
at the west edge of the site also establishes effective buffering and transitioning between the site and
existing single-family home.
LIV 30.2 —Connect to Surrounding Neighborhoods
Sidewalk connections enhance pedestrian connectivity and bicycle connectivity on Prospect and Lake street
frontages in front of the site and to the north.
2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED OPEN SPACE, WETLANDS, NATURAL
HABITATS AND FEATURES, LANDSCAPING, CIRCULATION, TRANSITION AREAS,
AND ASSOCIATED BUFFERING ON SITE AND IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF THE
PROJECT.
The site plan works to preserves several existing cottonwood, hackberry and spruce
trees along the east side of the site with walkways meandering around trees and
structurally engineered walls protecting existing trees at detention areas. Several dead
trees on the north boundary and SE corner will be removed.
114
Open space enhancements are provided along the pedestrian and bike access on the
east side of the property and within the proposed detention area at the northeast corner
of the property. These include a picnic table, native seeding, and low-water use
plantings and trees.
Visual buffering and transitional landscapes on the north and west property edges are
accomplished with 6' privacy fencing and columnar evergreen and deciduous trees,
providing a buffer between the single-family to the west and multi -family attached
residential uses to the north.
3. MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AREAS
The property owner or property manager shall perform all maintenance on private
residential lots. In addition, the property manager shall maintain all sidewalks and
landscaped common areas, and any other non -private amenity and or feature.
The City of For Collins shall only be responsible for typical ROW maintenance of
infrastructure and snow removal within the roadway.
Storm water infrastructure
Landscape maintenance and trash removal within storm water infrastructure including
detention areas, swales, culverts, inlets, etc. shall be the responsibility of the property
manager. This maintenance shall include all required mowing, weeding, cleanout,
removal of trash and debris and other typical maintenance required in order to ensure

5, DESCRIPTION OF RATIONALE BEHIND THE ASSUMPTIONS AND CHOICES
MADE BY THE APPLICANT.
115
A modification request is submitted for a variance to the width of the parking lot island
within the parking lot. Due to existing site constraints, a 4' wide bioswale is provided with
2' overhang on each side verses the 7' minimum width required per Section 3.2.2L.4.
A modification to the building
overhang into
the 15'
ROW
setback is submitted. This
modification will allow for a more
interesting
fagade
to the
public side of the building.
A modification request is submitted for the allowable number of compact parking. A
maximum of 40% compact parking is allowed (section 3.2.2L.2), 42.8% is provided. This
plan works well because of its proximity to CSU and the MAX, the current percentage is
negligible.
6. EVIDENCE OF COMPLETION FOR APPLICABLE CRITERIA,
7. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF HOW CONFLICTS BETWEEN LAND USES OR
DISTURBANCES TO WETLANDS, NATURAL HABITATS AND FEATURES AND OR
WILDLIFE ARE BEING AVOIDED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT FEASIBLE OR ARE
MITIGATED.
The primary land use conflict is between the multi -family attached use on -site and the
adjacent single family detached residential uses to the south and west respectively.
Transition ing/buffering is accomplished with privacy fencing and columnar deciduous
and evergreen trees, providing a buffer between the on -site uses and adjacencies.
8. WRITTEN NARRATIVE ADDRESSING EACH CONCERN/ISSUE RAISED AT THE
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING(S), IF A MEETING HAS BEEN HELD.
Concerns about protecting the Spruce tree to the east of property were raised (shown as
tree #14 on the tree protection plans). Following direction from the City Forester the
retaining wall will be 16' from the spruce to to protect the root system and preserve the
tree. Additionally, concerns were raised about the architectural character of the building
within the surrounding single-family neighborhoods. This is addressed with step backs
and architectural modulation.
9. NAME OF THE PROJECT AS WELL AS ANY PREVIOUS NAME THE PROJECT
MAY HAVE HAD DURING CONCEPTUAL REVIEW.
This project shall be titled The Slab Property.

Notes from Neighborhood Meeting for 808 W. Prospect Road (the Slab)
Meeting Date: June 18, 2015; 7:00 — 8:30 p.m.
Ian Shuff, Principal of alm2s Architects and Craig Russell, Principal of Russell -Mills Studio
provided an overview of this project.
Generally, the proposed project is for a 3-story, multi -family apartment building, with 59
dwelling units, 70 bedrooms, 83 parking spaces, and 70 bike parking spaces on a 1.44 acre lot in
the H-M-N (High Density Mixed -Use) zoning district. The project is designed to work with the
new plans for the Prospect Corridor and the vision created by the West Central Area Plan for this
area. Although the HMN zone allows for five stories, the building has been scaled back to three,
and steps down in places to be sensitive to surrounding historic properties and to stay in keeping
with the character of the neighborhood. The project strives to balance open space with the
increased density that is allowed.
The presenters mentioned that they had given this same presentation to the Landmark
Preservation Commission who had some interest in the project due to surrounding historic
properties.
The presenters provided a comparison from a previously approved project to the proposed one
and then described their project in more detail.
Public input followed:
There was a question about whether the large Spruce trees would truly be able to stay since the
City is taking 20' for the Prospect changes. The presenters stated that they are working with the
City Forester to see how they can work around this and find ways to make accommodations that
would enable them to keep the trees. They think the trees can be maintained.
A participant asked if this meant that the sidewalk at the proposed building would move back.
The presenters confirmed this but stated that the curb line is not changing. The participant asked
whether on the parkway where landscaping trees are being placed the area would get narrower to
help accommodate the trees. The presenters confirmed this and stated that they had worked on
an inventory and really think they have found a way to keep the trees. They added that if
something happens where trees would have to be removed, they would alter the project
accordingly to make something else work. They stated that they could make some adjustments
to the plan and have the sidewalk go around the trees if needed, etc.
There was some concern about the difficulty of in/out access off of Prospect Drive — there were a
couple of mentions of an accident that had happened on Prospect just prior to the meeting.
Concerns included ensuring that there were no left-hand turns from the property (right in and
127
Neighborhood Meeting — 808 W. Prospect Road (the Slab)
June 18, 2015
Page 2
right out is what is proposed) and about the sight difficulties that might be created later on as the
landscape trees planted start to mature.
There was a question about the elevation of the 3rd story. The presenters estimated the height at
the mid-30' to 40' range. The highest points of the building were described as having a parapet
with a membrane roof below it. Questions followed about the height of the Juliette balconies —
how high off of the slab are these? The height was estimated at about 10' and 22' off slab,
depending on their location on the building. There was a question as to whether the Juliette
balconies were a final design feature. The presenters noted that nothing is final at this point —
everything is still in the conceptual phase. They mentioned that they have also looked at just
using larger windows. The goal is to try to bring natural light into the units since the units are
kind of deep due to design and lot. Participants just wanted to ensure that there would be no
open balconies or patios on the 3rd floor. It was confirmed that there would be none. A
development at 1335 W Elizabeth, near Five Guys Burgers and Fries, was mentioned as a
finished product that has these Juliette features. They encouraged people to go by and take a
look at these.
There was a question related to the variance requested for the cantilever sections of the building
that extend out past the plane of the building. The presenters confirmed that the cantilever
portions do extend out into the setback. They stated that there was a flat building face in the
previous architectural plans but they chose to come back with the cantilevers to give the building
more interest.
There was some discussion about bicycle access to the campus. Is the expectation for bicyclists
to head to the north to get to campus? Would they use the emergency access? The presenters
stated that a component of the West Central Area Plan, as well as the previous project plan,
included an 8' pathway which extends out to the emergency access. They have included this in
the proposed project as well. It is anticipated that the path will be concrete and pavement or
asphalt. They clarified that this path will be closed to vehicle use and primarily open to
pedestrian, bicycle and emergency vehicle use.
Focus turned back to traffic issues. A participant mentioned that the traffic on Prospect now is
atrocious, evidenced by the accident earlier tonight. When the north/south bus system on Mason
was put in place, this participant thought the buses would be the problem. He stated that he lives
in the Sheeley addition with Prospect being his only way in or out of his subdivision. He is
finding that pedestrians and bicyclists are way worse than the bus problem he expected. He
suggested a need for an over- or underpass to help mitigate this. He asked if there was any
access to the north of the project onto Lake Street for pedestrians. The presenters confirmed that
there was and highlighted the pedestrian/bike access that hooks into Lake Street from the project
plans. The participant added that he thought having access to Lake Street was a crucial element
versus increasing the traffic impact on Prospect.
The owner of Blue Ridge Apartments stated that his development has more units and twice as
many beds as the proposed project. He stated that his parking lot is only half full and that the
kids who live there do so because of easy access to the campus. He added that they generally
travel by bike or walk, at least to campus, and that any traffic generated by them generally occurs
after hours when this would have less impact on normal traffic patterns on Prospect. He
-2-
128
Neighborhood Meeting — 808 W. Prospect Road (the Slab)
June 18, 2015
Page 3
reiterated that most of the time their cars sit in the parking lot.
There was some question about vehicle access to the north of the project to help avoid Prospect
impacts. It was mentioned that the easement obtained for the walkway which will be used by
pedestrians, bicycles, and for emergency access does not allow for regular vehicle traffic. A
participant mentioned that if we cannot get access for cars to the north then we should eliminate
the damn stadium.
Participants were highly supportive of keeping the proposed building within the historical
context of the neighborhood. A building to the west of the project site, the Kaufman House, was
identified as a historical home that is being preserved. Craftsman -type homes, such as Blevins
house, were also mentioned as important historical properties. Participants think it is important
to continue this Craftsman -type architecture. They think it might provide an example so that
future projects would do the same thing — create buildings that would have the same elements
and that would maintain the character of the neighborhood. It was suggested that the developers
add window treatments or other exterior detailing that would more solidify the Craftsman style.
Participant would like to see the whole block from Whitcomb down to Prospect incorporate this
style.
Another participant had just moved his 96 year old dad to McKenzie Place. He really liked the
way the development picked up this type of architecture, even in the way they did the porticos
outside as well as sloping vertical elements. It was his opinion that this really defined the
building as a Craftsman style.
The presenters stated that their goal with this design is to make enough of a statement with some
modern elements that people know it is a building of today while still maintaining respect for the
past. Some participants stated a preference for sticking to a true Craftsman style and not mixing
metaphors. It was suggested that the more modern features really take away from the Craftsman
style. The presenters added that one challenge with staying true to a Craftsman style with a
building of this size is not creating something that tends to look like a resort property. They
added that nothing shown is final and mentioned that they do have time to make some changes.
There was some discussion on whether there were any plans for the adjacent historic buildings.
The presenters stated that the scope of this project did not include the historic properties at this
point and clarified that these are on a different parcel. They are just addressing the 808 parcel at
this point.
There was a question about the density of project. A
participant
stated that this project would be
an extension of campus as far
as housing goes. He was
in favor
of the project stating that this is
the whole idea — to put higher
density projects where
they make
the most good.
There was some discussion about whether bus service from either CSU or the City would serve
this property and whether residents would gain any advantage due to this. A participant stated
that a Transit line currently goes along Prospect now but doesn't stop there. The presenters
clarified that there are future transit stops planned as part of the West Central Area Plan
improvements that may provide additional access then. This was an item identified for follow-
up - verify with City Transportation Planning. It was also suggested that a follow-up occur with
-3-
129
Neighborhood Meeting — 808 W. Prospect Road (the Slab)
June 18, 2015
Page 4
CSU to see of the Round the Horn bus service on campus could provide any service from this
location. It was noted that some of the lack of service today may be due to the fact that so many
roads are closed on or around campus due to construction activities.
There was brief discussion on when Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code (Historic and Cultural
Resources) comes into play. It was clarified that this occurs whenever a proposed project is
adjacent to a historic designated or eligible property.
A participant asked if CSURF owns the property that is being developed. It was confirmed by a
CSURF representative at the meeting that CSURF does own the property and that they are a
separate entity from the university. CSURF is contemplating entering into a ground lease with
the developer so that they can build the project. He also clarified that over time the two houses
next door to the proposed project were combined into one parcel and reiterated that 808 is a
separate parcel.
There was a question regarding whether CSURF is subject to City zoning. It was confirmed that
they are since they are considered a private entity.
There was some discussion about the type of units on the project. The presenters stated that
there will be a mix of studios, one -bedroom and two -bedroom units. They plan to lease by unit,
not by bedroom. They clarified that there are a higher number of one -bedroom and studios units
in this project and, it has been their experience that people tend to have less parties with this type
of unit mix. They stated that providing a high quality project and a mix of this type of units is
likely to encourage a different type of renter and not necessarily typical students.
A participant asked whether the project will have a swimming pool. The presenters confirmed
that it will not, just outdoor seating/gathering areas.
The owner from Blue Ridge Apartments stated that the kids at his complex are different these
days and he doesn't have anyone using his pool. But, there was some concern expressed about
the huge welcome back pool party that was experienced a couple of years ago that caught so
much attention.
A participant mentioned that it is challenging to develop something economically more feasible,
with a large amount of density, and still provide a nice building that has some interest. He stated
that this project shows much more effort in this regard than other projects he has seen recently.
He wanted to give the development team kudos for making these extra efforts.
There was a question as to whether the geo-thermal system that was started with previous project
would be used. The presenters stated that they are hoping to use the wells that have been drilled,
but are not sure whether the system is viable at this point. If it is intact, they will look at using it.
There was a question about the basement units having only one window. The presenters
mentioned that most units only have one exterior wall and, therefore, only one window that gives
natural light. Some of the two -bedroom units have more.

A participant encouraged having outdoor gathering space where residents could interact and get
to know one another. He stated that this helps people break down the sense of having a little
cubicle where they simply come and go and don't get to know their neighbors. He stated that
having this type of space is good and asked about the number of spaces provided. The presenters
mentioned that they are looking at developing a couple other spaces throughout the site that can
be used for this. Someone added that it would be nice to do an inside/outside space that would
serve this purpose as well. The presenters clarified that they have looked at a leasing office and
could combine this purpose with some lounge space. It was mentioned that it is important for
people to know who they are living with and to have some interaction. Someone added that
opportunities for engagement with neighbors are good. Think people using the walkway and
bicycle access will get this type of interaction as well. The presenters committed to continuing
to explore this.
A question was posed as to whether the detention basin on NE corner could be adapted for this
type of use (gathering space). The presenters mentioned that the City's criteria does allow for
multi -use in these types of areas. There might be an option to put some benches or picnic tables
in there if allowed. Red Fox Meadows is a good example of how this has been done effectively.
Think there are opportunities for these spaces to have more uses.
There was some question about the pavers being used to capture stormwater and whether these
were problematic (ones in Old Town were mentioned as having plugged up). It was clarified
that they do have to be maintained and that the key is to do routine and timely maintenance.
There was some question about how lighting is going to work. Have bushes close to the building
— great place for people to hide, etc. The presenters stated that the previous design had grates
over the egress areas from the basements to keep people going down — they could only go up.
They were open to provide more lighting in these areas to make this safer. The added that their
goal is to ensure they meet dark skies requirements and light closer to the ground versus having
light spill into the sky. The lighting plan will at least meet any minimum requirements of the
City for parking lots and walkways.
There was a question about whether a fence would be installed. The presenters stated that they
are looking at doing a boundary fence to create some privacy. Not sure what fencing will be
made of — cedar or steel (with vines growing up). Do want to make sure they are being sensitive
to light issues.
The owner of the Blue Ridge Apartments stated that he has not had any trouble with break-ins or
safety. He stated that they are all fortunate to have a neighborhood where safety issues are not as
prevalent. Others added that they want to keep it that way and build in whatever features they
can to do so. The developer added that they will be installing a security camera system on the
premises as well. He also mentioned that they have reached out to City Police to see if they are
interested in any of the basement space for a substation. Nothing finalized in this regard.
There was a comment to the presenters that they had done a great job with the architecture. Like
that the building is scaled and more compatible with the neighborhood. Think they are respectful
of the historic buildings. Hope it will be the example for future developments.

Another participant stated that they had taken an under -performing asset and made something
quite nice. Architecture is nice, less bedrooms, more parking, etc. Well done.
There was a suggestion
that additional detail and scaling to bring
the building to an even further
personal
level would be
beneficial. They suggested window sills
and similar improvements.
There was a question about the project timeline. The presenters stated that they have to go
through the planning process and do not anticipate being finished with this until
November/December. They thought it was likely they would break ground this spring.
There was an area on the site plan related to access to the site that was dashed in. There was a
question on why. The presenters clarified that this is somewhat tentative right now. There is
some concern that the geometry and radius gets so fine that people might try to do a left turn
anyway, then curb gets destroyed, etc. So, this area is still being worked on and they intend to
continue to work with Traffic Engineering on this item. Participants reiterated the importance of
getting this right and wanted to stress what a problem allowing people to turn against traffic
would create - would cause a lot of traffic congestion. There was a question about how far the
City's median would go and whether it could be extended in an effort to keep people from
turning left. The presenters thought there might be some room for negotiation in this regard.
There was concern about getting rid of the chance for people to U-turn as well.
The City Planner stated that at the time the project gets submitted to the City, all related
documents will be placed on the City's website. Anyone interested would have access to the
plans, could see how things have changed, etc. He added that there will be several additional
opportunities to provide feedback as the plan progresses through the process.
Adjourned at 8:30 pm.

SUBJECT: 808 West Prospect Road Transportation Impact Study O�FSS��NAtEN�\��c
(File: 1564ME01)
This memorandum addresses the transportation impacts of the proposed
development at 808 West Prospect Road. The site location is shown in Figure 1. The
development at 808 West Prospect Road is a 70 bed apartment building development
north of Prospect Road Street in Fort Collins. The scope of this study was discussed
with the Fort Collins Traffic Operations Engineer. A brief memorandum was requested.
The Base Assumptions form is provided in Appendix A.
Figure 2 shows the current geometry at the Prospect Road/Prospect Lane
intersection. Prospect Road is to the south of (adjacent to) the proposed 808 West
Prospect Road site. It is an east -west street classified as a four -lane arterial street
according to the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. Currently, Prospect Road has a four -
lane cross section in this area. At the Prospect Road/Prospect Lane intersection,
Prospect Road has a westbound left-turn/through lane, a through lane in each direction,
and an eastbound through/right-turn lane. The Prospect Road/Prospect Lane
intersection has stop sign control on Prospect Road. The posted speed limit in this area
of Prospect Road is 35 mph. There is an approximately 4 foot sidewalk along both
sides of Prospect Road. There are no bicycle lanes along Prospect Road.
Prospect Lane is to the south of the proposed 808 West Prospect Road site. It is
a north -south street classified as a local street according to the Fort Collins Master
Street Plan. Prospect Lane only has south leg at the Prospect Road/Prospect Lane
intersection. Currently, Prospect Lane has a two-lane cross section in this area. At the
Prospect Road/Prospect Lane intersection, Prospect Lane has all movements combined
into a single lane. There is no posted speed limit on Prospect Lane. There are
sidewalks along both sides of Prospect Lane. There are no bicycle lanes along
Prospect Lane.
Figure 3 shows recent peak hour counts at the Prospect Road/Prospect Lane
intersection. The traffic volumes at the Prospect Road/Prospect Lane intersection were
collected in September 2015. Raw traffic data is provided in Appendix B. Table 1
shows the current morning and afternoon peak hour operation of the Prospect
133
Road/Prospect Lane intersection. The Prospect Road/Prospect Lane intersection
currently meets the City of Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards during the
morning and afternoon peak hours with existing control and geometry. Calculation
forms are provided in Appendix C. A description of level of service for unsignalized
intersection from the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual is provided in Appendix C. Table
4-3 (revised per staff comments regarding type of intersection) showing the Fort Collins
Motor Vehicle LOS Standards (Intersections) are also provided in Appendix C. The 808
West Prospect Road site is in an area termed "mixed use districts." In areas termed
"mixed use districts," acceptable operation at unsignalized intersections, acceptable
operation is considered to be at level of service F for any approach leg for an
arterial/arterial, arterial/collector and arterial/local intersections. In such areas, it is
expected that there would be substantial delays to the minor street movements at
unsignalized intersections during the peak hours. This is considered to be normal in
urban areas. At unsignalized collector/local intersections, acceptable operation is
considered to be at level of service C for any approach leg.
Figure 4 shows the site plan for the development at 808 West Prospect Road.
The development at 808 West Prospect Road is a 70 bed apartment complex.
Currently the site is vacant (foundation slab). Access to the site will be via a right-
in/right-out access to/from Prospect Road. There will be emergency access to Lake
Street that will, also, serve pedestrians and bicyclists. Trip generation is important in
considering the impact of a development such as this upon the existing and proposed
street system. A compilation of trip generation information contain in Trip Generation, 9t"
Edition, ITE is customarily used to estimate the trips that would be generated by the
proposed/expected uses at a site. However, the City of Fort Collins has performed a trip
generation study for apartments in Fort Collins. Therefore, the trip generation rates
calculated by the City will be used. A person/bed was used as the trip generation variable.
A trip is defined as a one-way vehicle movement from origin to destination. Table 2 shows
the expected trip generation on a daily and peak hour basis. The trip generation of the
808 West Prospect Road development resulted in 186 daily trip ends; 14 morning peak
hour trip ends; and 30 afternoon peak hour trip ends.
Directional distribution of the generated trips was determined for 808 West
Prospect Road site and is shown in Figure 5. Figure 6 shows the site generated peak
hour traffic assignment of 808 West Prospect Road.
Figure 7 shows the short range (2020) background morning and afternoon peak
hour traffic at the Prospect Road/Prospect Lane intersection. Background traffic volume
forecasts for the short range (2020) future were obtained by reviewing traffic studies for
other developments in this area and reviewing historic counts in the area. Traffic
volumes at the Prospect Road/Prospect Lane intersection were increased at a rate of
2.0 percent per year. Table 3 shows the short range (2020) background morning and
afternoon peak hour operation at the Prospect Road/Prospect Lane intersection.
Calculation forms are provided in Appendix D. The Prospect Road/Prospect Lane
intersection will meet the City of Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards during the
morning and afternoon peak hours with the existing control and geometry in the short
range (2020) future.

Figure 8 shows the short range (2020) total morning and afternoon peak hour
traffic at the Prospect Road/Prospect Lane and Prospect Road/Site Access
intersections. Table 4 shows the short range (2020) total morning and afternoon peak
hour operation at the key intersections. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix E.
The Prospect Road/Prospect Lane and Prospect Road/Site Access intersection will
meet the City of Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards during the morning and
afternoon peak hours with the existing control and geometry.
The recommended short range (2020) geometry is shown in Figure 9. The right-
in/right-out access should be designed to discourage other traffic movements. This is
the existing geometry. A westbound right -turn lane is not required based on Figure 8-4
in LCUASS. According to Figure 8-1 in LCUASS, left -turn lanes are required on all
arterial streets. This segment of Prospect Road is constrained and does not have a left -
turn lane. This is addressed by the City of Fort Collins in the "West Central Area Plan"
(adopted March 17, 2015).
The 808 West Prospect Road site is in an area within which the City requires
pedestrian and bicycle level of service evaluations. Appendix F shows a map of the
area that is within 1320 feet of the 808 West Prospect Road site. The 808 West
Prospect Road site is located within an area termed as "pedestrian district," which sets
the pedestrian level of service threshold at LOS A for all measured categories, except
for Street Crossing at LOS B. There are three destination areas within 1320 feet of the
proposed development at 808 West Prospect Road: 1) the residential area to the west,
2) the residential area to the south, and 3) Colorado State University to the north. The
primary pedestrian destination is CSU. There is not likely to be a significant pedestrian
affinity between this site and the other residential areas shown. Pedestrians will have
direct access to Lake Street via the emergency access. The adopted plan for this
corridor shows a multi -use path on the north side of Prospect Road. It is assumed that
this multi -use path will be implemented. Practically speaking, the only significant
pedestrian destination is CSU. For that reason, it is suggested that CSU be the only
pedestrian destination considered in this evaluation. With the availability of the
emergency access to Lake Street, the pedestrian level of service will be met for CSU.
This development will build the 10 foot multi -use path along the site frontage. Appendix
F contains a Pedestrian LOS Worksheet.
Based upon Fort Collins Bicycle LOS criteria, there is one destination area within
1320 feet of the 808 West Prospect Road site: Colorado State University to the north.
Appendix F contains a Bicycle LOS Worksheet. Bicyclists will have access to Lake
Street via the emergency access. Lake Street has on street bike lanes. With the multi-
use path and direct access to Lake Street, the bicycle level of service will be met.
Currently, this area is not served by Transfort. The nearest bus stop is at the
Prospect Road/Shields Street intersection.
It is concluded that, with development of the 808 West Prospect Road, the future
level of service at the key intersections will be acceptable. The Prospect/Site Access
intersection should be designed as a right-in/right-out access.

Annotated Issue List
1016 Amend 1.3.4(E) - Addition of Permitted Use = Conditions = to correct an inadvertent omission
due to overlapping ordinances and a lag time im publishinng.
Problem Statement
At the time the Land Use Code Changes of Ordinance No. 086, 2014 were being revised,
the changes of the preceding Ordinance No.042, 2014 were not yet published, and,
therefore not included in the latter Ordinance. The result was the inadvertent loss of text
of within the Addition of Permitted Use code section.
Proposed Solution Overview
Revise the Addition of Permitted Use — Conditions to reinsert the text that was lost in the
subsequent code changes.

plans in City records. Works with item 10210
Problem Statement
Friday, November 06, 2015
The Minor Amendment section is not clear if the process can be used when there are no
plans in the City Records. Thus, the Code does not provide clear direction whether or not
the existing conditions of a site or building can be amended through a Minor Amendment.
For much of the City's history, under prior law, a Building Permit was all that was
required to develop a site and construct a building. In addition, this older process may or
may not have required the submittal and recording of site and landscape plans and
architectural elevations. Where there were no recorded plans, there were questions as to
exactly what is being amended. As long as the property was platted, and the building was
issued a Certificate of Occupancy, Staff has informally adopted the Minor Amendment
process as the most efficient and practical level of review to regulate changes to these
Page 1 of 6
149
situations. The proposed revision would formalize this practice.
Proposed Solution Overview
Revise the Minor Amendment code section to allow the existing conditions of platted
properties and buildings to be eligible for the Minor Amendment process even if
approved under prior law when there are no recorded final plans.

2 2.2.10(A) Allows existing conditions to be eligible for minor

1019 Amend Article Fore Zone Districts = Permitted Use Lists = to align the dispensing of Retail
Marijuana with the same type of review process as listed for Medical Mmquana as the
differences between the two are no longer distinctive.
Problem Statement
The dispensing of Medical Marijuana preceded the adoption dispensing Retail Marijuana.
Medical was generally listed in the various applicable zone districts as a Basic
Development Review (BDR) whereas Retail was generally listed as a Type One or Type
Two. Now that both uses are legal, staff has found that dispensing retail marijuana is
similar to dispensing medical marijuana and that it is difficult to find distinguishing
differences.
Further, through the City's marijuana licensing requirements, only an established medical
marijuana dispensary is allowed to also dispense retail marijuana.
Proposed Solution Overview
Revise the
type of development review process in
each
applicable
zone district so that the
dispensing
of retail marijuana would be consistent
with
dispensing
of medical marijuana.

1020 Amend Article Two = Add a New Division - 2.18 = to formaUy explain the Basic Development
Review procedure and establish a new Minor Subdivision which may be processed as a B.D.R.
Problem Statement
Friday, November 06, 2015
The problem is that when the Code was first adopted, there was an emphasis on
establishing procedures for Overall Development Plans, Project Development Plans and
Final Plans. Less emphasis was placed on what was formally called under prior law a Use -
By -Right. A Use -By -Right was renamed "Building Permit Review" under the Land Use
Code. Generally, the development review aspects of a Use -By -Right were carried over
from prior law into the Land Use Code.
But after a while, this terminology was deemed to be confusing with issuance of building
permits for houses (already on platted lots), garages, carports, decks, out -buildings, roofs,
tenant finishes, mechanical equipment, etc. where there was no land development per se.
To remove this confusion, we then adopted the term "Basic Development Review" (BDR)
to distinguish between use -by -right projects that enter the development review process and
those projects simply needing a building permit.
But the problem is that the Land Use Code never contained a consolidated explanatory
section on par with O.D.P., P.D.P.'s and Final Plans. References to the BDR process
were random. In fact, the first direct reference to a BDR is in the Appeal of
Administrative Decisions in Article 2.11. It is important to note that every permitted use
list in Article Four contains a list of uses that are subject to the BDR process. Not having
an easy -to -find, direct section in Article Two that fully explains what a BDR process
entails is a problem.
Minor Subdivisions:
For Minor Subdivisions, there is only one path to gaining approval for a Subdivision Plat
and that is via an affirmative decision from either the Administrative Hearing Officer
(Type 1) or Planning and Zoning Board (Type 2). For most projects, this is not a problem
as the Plat is generally a component of a Project Development Plan or a Major
Amendment. There are other cases, however, where a plat may be part of a Basic
Development Review, Minor Amendment, Change of Use or Building Permit and not tied
to a project where the procedure results in a public hearing. In these cases, a plat becomes
a stand-alone project that requires its own public hearing.
For example, in addition to the aforementioned, an applicant may wish to subdivide a
parcel without necessarily intending to engage in land development or construction of a
building. Or, in many cases, parcels that are not part of a recorded Plat and are defined
only by a metes and bounds legal description, and seek to obtain a building permit, are
required to file a submittal for a Plat. This is often the case in older parts of the City that
are re -developing or in areas that have been recently annexed.
It is important to note a fundamental aspect of the Land Use Code and that is the trigger
for submitting a plat is found in the section that regulates Building Permits. Section 2.7.2
reads as follows:
"Application for a building permit may be made at any time. A building permit may be
Page 3 of 6
151
issued only after a site specific development plan has been approved for the property upon
which the proposed principal building or structure is to be erected. The building permit is
the only authorization under which a building or structure may be constructed, moved,
placed, altered or demolished, with some exceptions, such as fences and certain types of
storage sheds." (Emphasis added.)
As can be seen, the mere application for a Building Permit requires an approved site
specific development plan, or Plat, prior to issuance. The problem is not the requirement
for a plat. Buildings in an urban area should be on platted lots in order to ensure proper
dedications for public purposes and utilities. The problem is that there is only one way in
which to gain an approval for a Plat.
In other words, Section 2.7.2 sets a project down a path to a public hearing whether there
is a land development proposal or not. The existing process results in an unintended one -
size -fits -all approach where Plats that are minor in scope and complexity are lumped in
with Plats for residential subdivisions, commercial development, industrial projects and
the like. The Land Use Code would be more efficient and user-friendly, with no loss of
public review, if there were a way to differentiate Plats that are minor from Plats that are
associated with land development.
Proposed Solution Overview
The proposed solution is to consolidate various references to the Basic Development
Review process into one new section and then define and add Minor Subdivisions as
eligible for this process.

1021 Amend 2.2.10 = Amendments - to clarify that the Amendment procedwe may also be used to
process Changes of Use, and consolidate various references throughout the Code for
consistency. Works with item 101&
Problem Statement
Friday, November 06, 2015
The problem is that the current procedure for a Change of Use is not well-defined or
easily referenced in the Land Use Code. Currently, the Change of Use process is not
clearly explained and is poorly cross-referenced with the balance of the Code. The path to
a Change of Use is convoluted and obscure. The first mention of a Change of Use is not
until Section 2.14 which then references back to Section 3.8.20 which, in turn, references
back to Section 1.6.5 with a final reference to Section 2.7
For example, the problem with the Change of Use procedure is that the path is as follows:
•2.14(B) and 2.14(A)
•3.8.20(B)
•2.7 (no expansion), or 1.6.5(A) (with expansion)
•2.7
The indirect path is not self-evident or user-friendly and relies on an excessive use of
cross-references. In some parts of the Code, the cross-references are missing. The cross-
reference to a Basic Development Review leads to Section 2.7 where the B.D.R. process
is not clear. (We propose to fix this with a new Division in Article Two, 2.18, that will
Page 4 of 6
152
offer a detailed and specific description of the B.D.R. process.)
Finally, it is not clear that a review of Change of Use per the applicable standards in
Articles 3 and 4 shall be to the extent reasonably feasible as opposed to the criteria for
Minor Amendments (no greater deviation) and Site Specific Development Plans (to the
maximum extent feasible).
Proposed Solution Overview
The proposed solution is to amend the Article Two Table of Contents and Minor
Amendment section to now include Changes of Use, and to clarify the extent of the
review for compliance with the applicable standards based on whether or not the original
project was approved under the Land Use Code or under prior law. The revision fully
integrates Changes of Use into the Minor Amendment process. Also recommended is a
slight revision to the definition of Change of Use.

Problem Statement
The City of Fort Collins presently lacks a comprehensive approach to controlling fugitive
dust that results from a variety of activities. The current regulatory approach is to rely on
existing regulations, permitting and enforcement that are in place at the State and County
levels. As the City has grown, and the various activities that produce fugitive dust
proliferate, State and County regulatory systems, while well-intentioned, have not kept
pace thus impacting our air quality. In implementing this new system, now is the time to
update the cross reference to the Stormwater Criteria Manual,

Problem Statement
Section 3.8.19(A) is the list of structures and features that may be located within required
setbacks. Currently, basement egress windows are not included in the list. Over the years,
however, staff has interpreted the standard to allow basement egress windows, and the
foundation that forms the window well, as being allowed within the setback as these
features are considered part of the yard. Designers, builders, architects, etc. have to call
or visit the Building or Zoning Departments to glean this information. The proposed
revision will allow the Code to be more informative and consistent with current practice.

proposed code revision is to clarify

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request for a Recommendation to City Council regarding an update to
the City Municipal Code for mobile food truck vendor mobility options. The
proposed changes address a range of operational requirements for the duration
outdoor vendors can operate on privately -owned lots.
APPLICANT:
OWNER:
RECOMMENDATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City of Fort Collins
City of Fort Collins
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance
The 2012 Outdoor Vendor Ordinance and current text in the Municipal Code and Land Use Code includes
allowances for mobile food truck vendors to operate on privately -owned lots in all non-residential zone districts as
an accessory use. The City Code does not include restrictions on requiring mobile food truck vendors to move off -
site after a certain period of time, and how long to stay off -site. Most food truck vendors move around the City
regularly and, as a result, are more mobile. However, over the past few years some food truck vendors, including
food truck and trailer operators, have set up semi -permanent locations for vending on private lots, reflecting a non -
mobile operation. The intent of the Code for mobile food truck vendor operations was drafted to ensure a mobile
operation and it addressed the specific impacts and requirements of a mobile operation. Such impacts and
requirements of a mobile operation are different when the mobile operation becomes non -mobile. The impacts
and requirements then become more akin to a brick and mortar restaurant business.
The recent examples mentioned above of food truck vendors operating on the same privately -owned lot on a
continuous basis are not meeting the underlying intent of being temporary or mobile. Mobile food truck vendors
are required by the State and County to work out of and return to an approved commissary kitchen each day they
vend. These non -mobile vendors need to comply with the same health requirements for their food truck and
associated commissary kitchen, as brick and mortar restaurants do for their fixed -location.
This raises the question: should mobile food trucks be more mobile and not perceived as operating in the same
location semi -permanently?
In response, staff is developing proposed new code provisions to clarify the length of time a mobile food truck

vendor operates
on the same private lot on a temporary
basis. The proposed
code amendments provide more
predictability for
food truck vending operations at various locations throughout
the City.
BACKGROUND:
As part of a growing national trend and interest in the community in allowing outdoor vendors as a mode of delivery
of foods and other goods and services, staff responded in 2011 by conducting a general review of the treatment of
outdoor vendors in the City codes and regulations, including extensive public engagement.
In 2012, City Council adopted two Ordinances regarding licensing of outdoor vendors, Ordinance 057 enacting
amendments to the Land Use Code, and Ordinance 058 enacting amendments to the City Code for modifications
to Chapter 15, Article XIV. Additional amendments were approved in 2014 to expand the licensing of mobile food
truck vendors, relating to the number of vendors allowed to operate in a single location, including food truck rallies.
The 2012 Outdoor Vendor Ordinance and current text in the Municipal Code and Land Use Code includes
allowances for mobile food truck vendors to operate on privately -owned lots in all non-residential zone districts as
an accessory use. The City Code does not include restrictions on requiring mobile food truck vendors to move off -
site after a certain period of time, and how long to stay off -site. Most food truck vendors move around the City
regularly and, as a result, are more mobile. However, over the past few years some food truck vendors, including
food truck and trailer operators, have set up semi -permanent locations for vending on private lots, reflecting a non -
mobile operation. The intent of the Code for mobile food truck vendor operations was drafted to ensure a mobile
operation and it addressed the specific impacts and requirements of a mobile operation. Such impacts and
requirements of a mobile operation are different when the mobile operation becomes non -mobile. The impacts
and requirements then become more akin to a brick and mortar restaurant business.
The recent examples mentioned above of food truck vendors operating on the same privately -owned lot on a
continuous basis are not meeting the underlying intent of being temporary or mobile. Mobile food truck vendors
are required by the State and County to work out of and return to an approved commissary kitchen each day they
vend. These non -mobile vendors need to comply with the same health requirements for their food truck and
associated commissary kitchen, as brick and mortar restaurants do for their fixed -location restaurants.
This raises the question: should mobile food trucks be more mobile and not perceived as operating in the same
location semi -permanently?
In response, staff is developing proposed new code provisions to clarify the length of time a mobile food truck
vendor operates on the same private lot on a temporary basis. The proposed code amendments provide more
predictability for food truck vending operations at various locations throughout the City.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has assessed the advantages and disadvantages of two mobile food truck Vendor Options. Option 1
represents the default "no -action" alternative with no proposed changes to existing regulations. Option 2
represents adding new Code language to further clarify the daily outdoor vendor operations on a privately -owned
lot, consistent with County Health requirements and intent of mobile outdoor vendor operations, as an accessory
use. Staff has also assessed other peer cities throughout the Country for reviewing similar options and
requirements for Outdoor Vendors (See attachment 3).
Option 1 Existing Regulations (No change)
Pros:
■ This no -change
option was identified by
staff as part of a
range of options to assess different
levels of
vending
mobility
while operating on privately -owned
lots
Item # 8 Page 2
178
Agenda Item 8
Cons:
• Strongly supported by the vendor community
■ Allows more flexibility for vendors to operate on a privately owned lot on a daily basis
■ Since 2012, only one complaint has been received by the City of a food truck vendor operating on
a semi -permanent basis on a private lot
■ Existing zoning requirements were based on the premise that mobile food truck vendors operating
on a private lot are accessory to the existing principal use on site. Food trucks operating on a
semi -permanent basis in the same location do not reflect a temporary accessory use, but rather a
second principal use on- site.
■ A City process is not in place to permit these non -mobile operations in all non-residential zoning
districts.
■ Mobile food trucks are considered temporary and must move on a daily basis while operating
throughout the City, while meeting County Health requirements for returning to approved
commissary kitchen
■ Some business owners may be concerned of unfair competition with food truck vendors operating
on a semi -permanent basis within close proximity to existing brick and mortar restaurants.
Option 2 Proposed City Code Amendments to further clarify duration vendors can operate on -site
and length of time off -site
Pros:
Cons:
■ Ensures greater predictability for vendors operating on private lots for durations allowed on -site
and length of time off -site
■ Proposed time for vendors to remain on -site on a daily basis is consistent with a majority of
existing vendors for how they operate now throughout the City, and consistent with existing City
and County Code requirements.
■ Consistent with many other communities for minimizing the duration vendors can operate in the
same location as an accessory use on private lots
■ Vendors need to return to their commissary on a daily basis for complying with County Health
regulations.
■ Some existing business owners may be more comfortable with this new change
■ Addresses the concern that vendors should not be allowed to operate at the same location every
day
■ Some vendors may feel this requirement is too restrictive
■ More difficult to oversee and enforce by City
PUBLIC OUTREACH:
The proposed Food Truck Vendor Mobility Options project conducted from May through November, 2015 included
public outreach using several techniques. Project information was available on the City website with regular
updates including proposed ideas, schedule and meeting dates. A press release and follow-up media articles by
the local Coloradoan were in distribution. A public opinion survey was available from September to October 23
(See attachment 1). An outdoor food truck vendor meeting was held on September 24 and November 9, and
public open house meeting on October 22 (See attachment 2).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Planning and Zoning Board make a motion to recommend that City Council approve the
Ordinance.

1 As long as site is appropriately zoned commercial
1 As long as they are licensed it seems ok for them to operate on private property.
1 As long as they are not skirting any property tax laws
1 As long as they have permission.
1 Don't notice
1 Don't think that there should be a time limit.
1 Food trucks provide a valuable service for breweries and their customers.
1 Food trucks should be temporary
1 1 don't see any problem with it as long as they have permission from the private lot owner.
1 1 don't think this is an issue at all. It's between the private lot owner and the vendor.
1 1 don't. I'm curious who does though. Competing vendors, or brick and mortars complaining?
1 1 have never thought about it...
1 1 have no problem with them on PRIVATE LOTS at all.
1 1 like that they can stay in the same place. That way I can find them.
1 1 see no problem with those that choose to be in the same location at all times.
1 1 want variety, small business owners and community strengthened by allowing outdoor vendors.
1 1 wish they would be in one place more often so I would know where to find them.
1 1 would like to visit some of the food trucks, but I never know where they are.
1 If it's a private lot, the owners are the only ones with a say
1 If the private lot owner doesn't mind. It shouldn't matter.
1 If they are at the Breweries no but next -door to another restaurant on the sidewalk looks bad.
1 If zoned for comercial use private property should be avilable for use for any period of time.
1 It is private property. Vending from private property should not be a concern for Council.
1 It seems like an issue best handled between the vendor and the property owner.
1 Just let them do their thing!
1 Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why it would be a problem.
1 No
1 No issue

1 No problem
1 No, but there IS an issue in that Bicycle based Vendors cannot vend from the Trails System.
1 Not a problem in any way
1 Seems like we have bigger fish to fry.
1 Should only be addressed if it becomes an issue on an individual basis.
1 There are no problems.
1 There is no problem. I can't think of any reason why this needs to be regulated.
1 There is not a problem with vendors on one location for any duration of time.
1 There should be no restrictions on private property
1 Unless it effects the business or safety of others
1 When a vendor is located in the same location, we know where to find them!
1 free market
1 wasn't aware there is a problem
1 what does it matter? I prefer to know where a truck is on a regular basis.
1 As long as said vendor is not causing problems, let them be. Good for them to have found a private lot!
1 Customers come to expect certain foods to fill their appetitesite on certain days. How can food trucks aquire regulars if they
aren't allowed regular access to their customers?
1 Regulate public property if you must, private property can decide if they want a regular vendor.
1 Private property is just that. City involvement should continue to be licensing and code enforcement. The length of time an
operator operates on private property is a private matter not a public one. As long as an operation is legally operating, the city
should leave well enough alone.
1 If the vendor is on a private lot, then the city should not be involved in making decisions. If the food truck is on a street for a
prolonged period of time, this is an issue.
1 Personally I have not experienced an outdoor vendor with a permanent presence on a private lot that is not theirs. Some
vendors have a "home" of sorts where they can frequently be found and that is a good thing, as it simplifies things and allows
people to find them more easily if they are not familiar with them, and then seek then out elsewhere at other locations. I have a
few food trucks that I have discovered this way. If the city provided specific locations where food trucks could gather any day -
in Old Town, Midtown, maybe Council Tree area and near the campuses and breweries - that might help. I believe this is what
other big cities do, at least in their downtown areas. It establishes a routine for customers which even movable vendors need
despite their lack of permanent storefront.
1 1 don not think it is a problem yet, but it will be. Vendor trucks are a more economically feasable business in downtown area
and their popularity is bound to increase their numbers. Keeping them mobile will encourage multiple vendors and possible
avoid cluttering of many.
1 Truck! Mobile! They DON'T have to meet the same standards as a brick and mortar food service place does!!!

1 It would be
unfair to restaurants because lower overhead from
not
having a permanent
location would mean lower prices. It
also allows
for enhancements, like outdoor seating, that would
not
be restricted as with
restaurants.
1 1 think it is unfair to "real" restaurants that are a bigger part of our community. I also worry about food safety.
1 If it is aprivate lot, Isee no problem, unless there are specific issues with the location, vendor„ or zoning. I have seen any
reason given for this further regulation, just some soft "concerns". New regulation should address specifics, not, "It doesn't feel
right."
1 1 love the fact that a
cart at
Home
Depot sells grilled hot dogs... and has done so for years! Food fans shouldn't have to wonder
where their favorite
vendor
is this
week!
1 For the sake of competition, if they are not paying for the space, they should not be allowed to permanently occupy the same
area.
1 1 do not see that this is restricting or harming the public or in any meaningful way. Respectful, tidy, tax -paying vendors should
be allowed to set up on private property. Most will be seasonal, anyway. These small entrepreneurs should be allowed to make
money, pay sales taxes, etc. With the price of rental realestate in FOCO, the city should be willing to develop reasonable
guidelines and ordinances to assist its citizens in contributing to the city.
1 why would there be? If they are given permission from a private land owner, then why does the city even have a say? And why
confuse customers? It seems manipulative to make people move around, just because they have wheels.
1 If the owner of the private lot has given permission to the vendor, then there is no problem, as long as both are in compliance
with other applicable regulations.
1 It makes it easy to find your favorite
food truck knowing
that they are always in the same location. It does not need to be the
same location every day, but the same schedule week
to week is
helpful.
1 Having vendors able to operate in a consistent location or locations enables customers to reliably find them. I would like to see
Fort Collins go the same route as Portland, OR and establish food truck pods, stable locations where several food trucks set
up semi -permanent residence.
1 It's nice to know where they are set up so when you are looking for a particular vendor you can find them.
1 As long as the owner of the private lot has given explicit permission, I see no issue with a food truck set up at the same location
for an extended period of time.
1 1 prefer that food trucks/trailers move around. If you want to be in one location, continuously, for longer than a few days, you
should get a brick and mortar location.
1 A business operation that becomes effectively a permanent location, becomes effectively "unproved" uses under zoning.
1 If the lot owner is okay with the vendor using the space for an indefinite amount of time, there should be no issue.
1 As long
as they meet zoning,
taxation etc
requirements
why
should they be
treated different than brick and mortar location.
Many of
these vendors often
have higher
up front costs
and
operating costs
than fixed locations.
1 If the issue is allowing other food truck operators a better chance at competition, that seems like public property ordinances
take care of that, but I could be wrong. If a private property has an arrangement with a vendor, I don't see what business it is of
the city to regulate that. The only way I would think it's okay to regulate is so it allows other vendors to jump in the game, but
the proposed regulation below for offsite time (48 hours) makes this ordinance petty. Let's say onsite for 3 months, then
another vendor can come in for 3 months, and so on. over night to 48 hours makes it seem like you're trying to limit a vendor's
ability to make money.
1 If a vendor is
not moving then
they
should
invest in
a permanent brick and stick location, as other in the food industry. Also at
locations that
see high traffic ,
why
should
only one
vendor monopolize that spot.

1 I'm not understanding what part of PRIVATE
property makes this a
problem.
Every business should
have the opportunity to
succeed or fail - based on how they perform
and the quality of their
product.
Government should not
be regulating practices that
interfere with this.
1 There is a food truck that has set up what is essentially a permanent location in a mostly residential neighborhood (on Maple,
near Sherwood, at the auto shop). This makes it essentially a restaurant and is inappropriate in the neighborhood (for that
matter so is that auto shop). Food trucks are good for outdoor events, or a nice addition to the breweries where no food is
otherwise available, but they should be inspected and should be stored in appropriate locations when not in use, not allowed to
just set up as though they were regular restaurants. Another "permanent" food truck parks at another auto -related business (on
North College, just south of Jax Outdoors). This one has been there for decades. This location is somewhat less bothersome,
since the area is commercial, but again, this should be made a permanent restaurant.
1 1 like knowing where the trucks and carts are gomma be, but I wonder whey there arent more around town or on the trails or
something?
1 1 don't believe the Food Truck vendors have enough flexibility. There are too many restraints on time and location.
1 Why do you keep going after ordinary people trying to get by and let the huge billionaire corporations slide?
1 1 think the vendors should rotate regularly so all vendors get an opportunity to use a "prime" location.
1 If it's private property then it lies outside the jurisdiction of city ordinances. If it's public property then some rules already apply
1 It is good for the
business
to
have consistent locations so then customers know where to find their favorite food trucks and
when! If a truck
is always
at
the same location then you always know where to get your favorite eats.
1 At some point they should go through planning and zoning review to be a permanent business so that location, traffic, parking,
neighborhood appropriateness, etc. gets reviewed.
1 Why place unnecessary restrictions on entrepreneurs and those providing the community with the foods they enjoy?
1 It's easier
as someone visiting
the
vendors to
know where they're located, preferably in a consistent location. It hurts their
business if
they can't locate in
the
same spot
consistently.
1 If someone owns private property and wants to let an outdoor vendor be there, they should be allowed to be there for as long as
they want
1 If a food truck is successful then they should listen to their customers and continue selling especially if it's a private lot.
1 It's
on private property presumably
already zoned for commercial
use. I don't see a need to create new law/regulation to satisfy
the
council's anti -business agenda
when there's no demonstration
of harm.
1 If they are pretty much permanently located on someone else's property, there should probably be some kind of agreement
between them and the owner.
1 Limited by Larimer County Health Department license requirements for regular trips to commissary, otherwise contained in
private property rights.
1 1 go to certain established outdoor vendors based on location, and am not interested when I find that another vendor is there.
1 1 believe that in some cases, those mobile vendors become restaurants, but don't have to follow the same rules that
restaurants do. That doesn't seem fair. The City should keep mobile vendors mobile by encouraging events where they can
gather, serve their food, and then disperse.
1 1 know vendors that
have established relationships with
business owners whose lots that
they set up on. In some cases this is
the vendors best source
of income and they don't have
a lot of luck at other venues. The
business owners in turn receive more
customers as well. If
you're consistently successful in one spot, why would you move?

1 In Austin and Portland, cities known for their food cart cultures, they have lots where food carts are set up long term. It allows
you to frequent a business you like when you know where they are.
1 We don't need to keep inventing new rules and regulations - surely we have better things to spend taxes on!
1 As long as the owner of the private lot is aware and not being taken advantage of in the situation
1 If an outdoor vendor has permission from the private lot then why would there be an issue or problem?
1 1 believe
as long
as they
are far enough
away from the brick and mortar stores it should be permissible. In fact, I think outdoor
vendors
actually
bring in
more traffic to
the stores.
1 Depending on the
location, it can provide unfair competition
to existing brick -and
-mortar businesses (they can earn a profit
without paying as
many development fees, or for example,
block signage of
existing restaurant).
1 If they are on private property and it's worked out with the owner I don't see a problem with it, its. Also nice to know that vendor
will most likely be in that same place if I want them again.
1 1 like
food trucks, but once they build
a fence it looks trashy.
If they want to run food truck, it needs to drive away; if the want to
open
a restaurant, then they need to
buy a building and meet
fire code.
1 If location is used more than 10 hours a week, property should be taxed as a structure exists
All health safety and sanitary
requirements of fixed
business should be analyzed/enforced
Audit to really see if sales tax is
collected, audit for employment
taxes, workers comp.
Employees should not be considered
independent contractors who are
often paid in cash
1 1 have never been impacted by a vendor staying for an extended period of time. But I can see how this is a problem.
1 Why
does the
city
of Fort Collins care? If
a vendor is making good
money b staying at one place, why would you mess with
their
business
and
have them potentially
loose money by having to
move?
1 1 don't see a problem with
this. A
clear problem has not been stated,
other than there is a perception of
a problem.
If people
enjoy the merchandise or
food, a
vendor is doing well, and there are
no ill effects, why should we get in
the way of
that?
1 It's nice to have
consistency.
I like
to know where to go to get my favorite food truck. If they are forced to move around it will be
harder to get the
food I want
when
I want it.
1 As long as said vendor is operating within Larimer county dept of health requirements and time limits set (based on trucks
capacity, water tank size, etc.) and within current city and zoning rules. It should not be an issue for a business to rent a space
to operate their business.
1 1 think there is enough difference between restaurants and food trucks/carts that they don't really compete for the same
business. I seek out different experiences --sitting and dining with table service, or getting something to go and eating outside. It
doesn't matter how long a vendor is on private property unless there's some sort of environmental issue.
1 The health department rules say a vendor must return to their commissary every 24 hours. That should be sufficient to cover
this situation.
1 Most are on the move - that is the whole idea, right? Seems those stuck in one place are hurting themselves mostly.
1 It's private property, why is it any business of the city to determine how long a vendor can park there as long as the agreement
is mutual.
1 Dear unnamed city council member, Increasing regulation on mobile vendors is just a terrible idea all around. The increase in
regulation will visibly restrict the amount of sales tax revenue the city receives, on top of that there will be the added cost of
policing these new policies.
1 1 think they should have to leave after being there for the day or evening but able to return the next day or next week on the
same day ... ie Every Monday.

1 If these vendors are meeting all health code and licensing requirements and they are on private property you have no business
messing with them.
1 1 like food vendors but think they are meant to be transient and not stay in one location all the time. If they want to do that they
should rent/buy a brick and mortar location.
1 Only if it is longer than a month. Keeping a food cart in a similar location each day allows customers to know where their
favorite dishes reside.
1 As long as
the
vendor is compliant with safe
food
handling practices, why would it matter? If the public supports this vendor, so
should the
city.
If the public does not support
this
vendor, the issue resolves itself.
1 Owners should be able to choose their location based on pediatrician traffic. If an owner knows an area to be busy, they should
be able to go to that location freely
1 1 believe that it detracts from the "food Truck" experience. Part of the excitement surrounding this new food culture is going out
to find your favorite taco/pizza/potsticker by using social media, blogs and tweets.

9. Do you have any other comments about regulations regarding outdoor vendors?
Count Response
1 Be sure they pay same taxes, as fixed site locations.
1 1 am more concerned about health codes than location.
1 1 just want to keep it fair competition with brick and mortar food vendors.
1 1 prefer 3 consecutive days on -site, then 48 hours off -site, which is not an option listed above
1 Keep small Fort Collins vendors free to operate their businesses how they see fit!
1 Leave the system alone. It's working fine as it is.
1 Let the vendors and property owners figure it out.
1 No
1 No.
1 Outdoor vendors are good for the city. Less regulation is better in this regard.
1 Outdoor vendors should be able to use the property at the discretion of the property owner.
1 There should be an exception if done prior and in writing if there is a need for 3+ days
1 This should be up to the private property owner
1 Try some decent city planning for a change instead of harassing the little guy.
1 no
1 Just moved here, so I don't know the current regulations well, but food trucks seem to require good regulations on noise, trash
collection, and any emissions and/or odors.
1 1 wouldn't have any restrictions
on them, but if they were
to cause health, safety or traffic problems,
then intervention may be
needed. We have lived here for
4 years now and haven't
visited any of the trucks,
because I am not
familiar with their locations.
1 This seems like
an
unnecessary
use of city resources to even debate. If the private property owner has no problem letting that
truck park there
for
any period of
time then it's no business of the city whatsoever.
1 The current process is fine except for having to physically turn in the application. Online options should exist to turn in an app
as well as paying the fee via credit card online for example. An application once, approved, should be allowed to simply renew
as long as there are no changes from the past use pattern and location. This would help simplify the process as opposed to
doing a new application each time.
1 1 believe that outdoor food vendors are a critical benefit to the charm of Fort Collins and adds to the culture of tourism that Fort
Collins currently benefits.
1 This
is a matter that should
be determined via
the private
property owner.
The impact is still the same whether it's
the
same
truck
or different trucks in a
location. Trying to
control the
private property's
decision is not keeping
the rights of a
free
market.
1 1 own a franchise called Hokulia Shave Ice (hokuliashaveice.com) and am planning on opening a location in 2016. We would be
open
from
May - Sep.
I am
hoping
the ordinance will
allow me
to
set up for these months. We would set up in a parking lot far
away
from
the stores
so as
not to
interfere with their
business
or
parking for customers.
1 It's hard for me to believe there have been so many problems with this model that additional regulation is necessary. Food
trucks bring desperately -needed diverse food options to our boring array of pizza, burgers, and burritos --we should encourage
more to come and flourish, not restrict them!

1 If the property owner
and the food
vendor have
an agreement that works then the city has no business getting involved. This is
a perfect example of
unnecessary
government
restrictions if you limit food vendors from operating on private property.
1 1 guess that I
don't
really see any of them
as permanent, yes there are some
that are regularly in the same location but I would
think that it is
up to
the property owner to
determine if they want more variety
at their location.
1 1 really like our food trucks here and don't want to discourage them but I also appreciate that if a business is permanent then it
should go through the reviews to be permanent.
1 Restricting how long a food truck
can park in one place will
disrupt operations for many of them and hurt
both food trucks and
the businesses they compliment.
Basically, they'll have to
move for a day or so, park somewhere, then
move back to where
they were. How productive is that? If they're licensed and pass health department inspections all should
be good. Maybe food
trucks should have some sort of
consent/registration form
for where they park, so there's something on
record, but if both the
food truck and brewery/business
where they are parked is
okay with it, just let it go.
1 1 think we need more of an explanation on why these new restrictions are needed. Going only on the fact that "Council thinks
they should be more mobile" seems dubious. If you're worried about competitive chances, then propose time frames that make
more sense. The proposed off -site times just create inconvenience and make it look as though you are purposefully
inconveniencing vendors.
1 Why is
this a concern to the city
council?
Don't
they have
better
things to worry about? Btw I am abusiness owner downtown
but do
not own or operate a food
truck or
a food
truck site.
I just
think it's a non issue.
1 Ask yourselves what the motivation is for the council to be more restrictive on one group of entrepreneurs. If the people are
keeping the public safe by conducting their business properly, then they should be able to operate from wherever the legally
can regardless of time in one location.
1 1 would be very sad if
restrictions made being a mobile vendor much
more difficult. While I understand they
should have some
sort of permission or
agreement from the property owner, I think it is
imperative that the regulations are not
too restrictive.
Mobile vendors are a great addition to the City and very popular with many people.
1 1 think it wold b cool to ahve some on the bike trails system, like from some kind of cart on a bike or I guess trike, like I've seen
internationally.
1 As long as the what is done on someone's
private
property is not unseemly, and as
long
as people aren't living on property
zoned for businesses,the city shouldn't be
able to
restrict what someone does with
their
own private
property.
1 The options in questions 6, 71 8 are too restrictive. I would include some sort of seasonal allowance and focus on the effect of
that vendor on the surrounding public venue in terms of public safety and health. It might be more complicated than this survey
focus. Is it their land, do they have a contract/agreement with the underlying landowner? Do they meet the basic public
safety/health requirements, are they considerate of neighborhood characteristics? FOCO needs to try to make things more
democratic. I realize the City is headed mostly by business types and politicians. There may be a group -think bias against
smaller businesses with a different way of doing business than out of permanent buildings.
1 Vendors should not be able to sublease sidewalk space to get around the city system to allocate and regulate vendor spaces
1 1 can only think of 2 vendors that have not seen move. This does not seem to rise to the level of requiring additional regulations,
which must then be enforced.
1 You make an assumption that all outdoor vendors are full time or selling food/drinks, and are doing the cart as a full time
business. What about those who want to do an occasional cart, that is not food, that is for fun and entertainment for the public,
and may not necessarily make any money? $60 is prohibitive to anyone who is a "hobby" and not a "business", as the IRS
sees it. And what about event permits, where several small vendors sell under one permit?

1 1 don't like the wording used here - if it is private property owned by the vendor and zoned appropriately then there should be no
restrictions. If the private property is another business', but they don't allow the vendor access to their facilities, again I see no
problem and no restrictions. They still have to follow health regulations and pay fees and permits. Why the heck do we care if
they choose to stay somewhere? If we so desperately need to do something about this and get money for it, why not do like
other cities do and license locations? Pretty sure that's how the same hot dog stand can always be operating on the same
street corner every day I've been in NYC. But to me this is a solution looking for a problem. Don't we have larger concerns to
worry about? Like train delays and a lack of overpasses???
1 Find something more important to spend our money on! Let the free market decide how long a vendor can stay in business!
1 1 think it's
appropriate for
a food truck to remain parked for
a weekend or multi -day work
week event.
That makes sense.
Parking a
food truck as a
defacto restaurant detracts from
property values, skirts safety
regulations
and unfairly competes with
fixed -building restaurants. Also, the point of a food truck is to take your flavors to different markets for maximum exposure, and
to rotate the flavor within a market (I.E.; craft breweries). If it doesn't move, it's a restaurant, and needs to meet zoning codes,
fire codes and health codes to remain.
1 Food trucks create a unique culture in FoCo, one that is constantly changing. Don't punish the whole due to the immobile
practices of the few.
1 1 would prefer Staff spends their valuable time on other issues that have IMPACT on our city. The one food truck I know you
are referring to is owned and managed by hard working folks that are serving extremely popular food. I know FIRST HAND that
there are restaurant owners, particularly in Old Town that are anti -free market and will go to any length to get business they
think they "deserve."
1 Not sure what the complaint is. If vendor A cannot stay for more than a day, but vendor B can then come in to take vendor A's
spot, who is the winner? What are we trying to prevent? Does it matter more that a vendor is ALWAYS there, or that it's the
SAME vendor all the time?
1 1 understand being proactive about solving problems before they might occur, but I don't see what the problem would be here.
1 I've heard rumors that there might be a permanent food truck alley near where the new Lyric Cinema will be. This is a great
idea! It would be similar to the Portland, OR model.
1 1 think keeping the area clean and void of their garbage and power cords not strung all over the sidewalk in the way of strollers
and wheel chairs.
1 Non-food vending push carts should be allowed. There are some very nice examples of these carts selling jewelry,
sunglasses, hammocks, etc on Boulder's pearl street mall that could be used as an example for old town square once it is
finished.
1 1 always worry about food safety practices with outdoor vendors. Are the regulations as strictly enforced as they are with brick
and mortar restaurants?
1 If other businesses are feeling threatened, then the burden should be on them to improve their offerings, not on the mobile food
vendors. People want easy, affordable and healthy food access - and the food trucks often do a better job of that than some of
the restaurants around town.
1 Why
does this need to
be regulated? Is there some
sort of harm coming from it? There's none that I perceive. Just let the carts
deal
with
the
business
owners
individually
and
stay
out of
the
market's
way.
1 This is a solution in search
of a
problem. Went
to meeting last night.
Bottom line: People see no reason to make a change, so
the council should listen to
that.
Regulation for
sake of regulation is
stupid.
1 Old town could be a little trickier due to the other restaurant choices. But breweries, food truck rallies, special events such as
Sustainable Living Fair type set ups, and places without so many choices need to be thought of as well in considering the new
policies.

1 Regarding question 8 - my preferred option is that there should be NO "semi -permanent" food trucks. So the option I would
select is "On -site for one day, must leave for 1 week." This whole phenomenon is just bizarre. Food trucks are a good way to
bring food to events (better than what you might be able to provide from a folding tent arrangement), but as a "destination" they
are sub -par, too expensive for what one is getting (the prices are usually really high, like you would expect if you are a "captive
audience" at some sort of event like a concert or festival), and I have doubts about how well they are inspected.
1 1 love the
regular
Food
Truck Rallies
in City Park. I'd
like to see it moved the diagonal closest to Oak and Jackson. It's more
visible to
the City
Park
neighborhood
to attract more
business.
1 1 have no problems with vendors
setting
up on private property for
as long as they want. They seem to have a lot of other
restrictions and there seem to be
a lot of
hoops to jump through to
get a license.
1 If the idea is to create a fair
market where one vendor
doesn't have a
monopoly on a prime
location then
I am for regulating time
on -site. Otherwise, i haven't
seen or heard about any
issues so I don't
see the necessity of
changing the
regulations.
1 It would be beneficial for Fort Collins
to
have food
truck pods similar to how Portland, Oregon has their trucks set up, while also
giving truck owners the option to be
as
mobile as
they need to be for success.
1 Make event permit fees reasonable and then food trucks could gather for one day or night events and then disperse
1 This would mean the world
hat the vendor outside of the exit
door
at Home Depot
would have move for some period of time,
even though
Home Depot,
its emplyees, and its customer all
like
the service and
product offered
and theywant it available all
the time.
1 This just sounds like the city being racist and trying to get rid of the Mexican food trucks on north college
1 Outdoor vendors add culture and interest to downtown Fort Collins. Fewer restrictions would be a real "love note" to the citizens
of Fort Collins.
1 1 think that if the vendor is on private property then how long that vendor stays on property should be determined between the
vendor and the private property owner not the city.
1 If a vendor remains in a site "permanently" they should be subject to the same ordinances any permanent business/brick &
mortar is.
1 Bring more! Become a foodie truck destination, along with bet gardens or wide allowance of drinks on hand like Savannah, GA.
Love growth'
1 My concern would be
that
food items and dishes
are then not always taken back to the commissary kitchens. Staying in one
spot could potentially
lead
to less food safety and
compromised cleanliness.
1 1 don't
see a problem if
a vendor is on a private lot - only if
it is blocking a street,
or on a private residential driveway -- this is an
issue.
1 Yes, Please make provisions for mobile Bicycle based Vendors, allowing for 6a.m. to 9p.m. mobile Vending from, on &
adjacent to the Trails Systems, particularly Mason Trail.

A meeting was held by the City for Outdoor Vendors on September 24, 2015 at 281
North College Avenue with 23 vendors attending. The following comments were
recorded during the meeting discussion with staff.
■ What is the problem the City is trying to solve?
■ Need further
clarification
on the
issues with requiring more mobility
from vendors
■ Vendors are
required by
County
Health to return daily to
approved
commissary
so we are mobile
■ Why are the few vendors that have set up a semi -permanent operation not
required to move off -site daily to commissary?
■ There is unanimous opposition form the vendors for any new requirements or
further restrictions on us — again what is the problem here?
■ Who has complained about vendors operating in Downtown area?
■ This is our livelihood and we need to work regularly. Please do not further
restrict our work
■ Will you distinguish between food trucks that vend only for on -site principal use
customers and vendors serving to general public?
■ Of the proposed range of options for vendors to operate on -site in the same
location, staff should offer more options for duration vending and time away from
these locations
203
Attachment 2
■ Is the issue unfair competition between vendors and existing brick and mortar
restaurants, safety, health requirements, or what?
■ The City needs to identify a consistent, fair and predictable approach for all
vendors for new requirements
■ How can we be involved and what is the schedule for bringing these changes
forward to Council?
2. Public Open House Meeting — October 22, 2015
A public open house meeting was held by the City on October 22, 2015 at 215 North
Mason with 7 meeting participants. The following comments were recorded during the
meeting discussion with staff.
■ For new potential vendors, what is the process and how can I get more
information?
■ The online survey clearly shows support for the no -action option — we do not
need more restrictions
■ Is the online survey still available?
■ What is the problem the City is trying to solve?
■ Who will be making the decision on potential changes?
■ Vendors are required to be mobile based on County health standards and return
to commissary each day
■ Has the County inspected the vendors operating at the same locations semi -
permanently?
■ What is the definition of being "more mobile"?
■ Do the vendors that are operating extensively from the same location using a
commissary on the same lot?
■ Of the 7 meeting participants, all selected the no new restrictions options on the
wall, vs. supporting any of the range of operation times identified.
■ Staff shared a middle option of a 3-week operation on -site, and 3-day off -site
requirement for potential consideration, but this was not supported by any of the
meeting attendees.

U91►IITSIN►,rJAIEel ilk
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request for a Recommendation to City Council regarding various
revisions to the Land Use Code related to a comprehensive approach to
governing fugitive dust on a city-wide basis. The proposed revisions have been
initiated by the Department of Natural Resources Environmental Services
Department and are intended to work in conjunction with a larger set of proposed
revisions to City Code that will be considered by City Council on March 3, 2015.
In addition, a Dust Prevention and Control Manual will be provided describing
best practices for a variety of activities and industries and at various scales.
Revisions to the Land Use Code must first be evaluated by the Planning and
Zoning Board before City Council Second Reading.
APPLICANT:
RECOMMENDATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
These revisions are being brought to the Planning and Zoning Board outside the
annual update process in order to ensure that complete package of all code
revisions, including the Dust Prevention and Control Manual, are forwarded to
City Council in a comprehensive manner.
City of Fort Collins
Approval
The proposed revisions are to the following Sections:
• 2.6.3(H) Stockpiling Permit and Development Construction Permit Review Procedures
• 2.7.3(G)(H) Building Permit Review Procedures
• 3.4.2(A) Air Quality General Standard
• 5.1.2 Definitions

212
Amend Sections 2.6.3(H) — Stockpiling Permit, 2.7.3(G)(H) — Building Permit
Procedures, 3.4.2(A) — Air Quality and 5.1.2 Definitions in order to fully implement
a comprehensive approach to improve air quality by enacting regulations that
govern fugitive dust on a city-wide basis.
Problem Statement:
The City of Fort Collins presently lacks a comprehensive approach to controlling fugitive
dust that results from a variety of activities. The current regulatory approach is to rely
on existing regulations, permitting and enforcement that are in place at the State and
County levels. As the City has grown, and the various activities that produce fugitive
dust proliferate, State and County regulatory systems, while well-intentioned, have not
kept pace thus impacting our air quality.
Proposed Solution Overview:
The proposed solution is to amend both the Land Use Code and City Code to enact
regulations that address a wide range of activities that generate fugitive dust. The
current definition of Fugitive Dust is proposed to be deleted from the Land Use Code
and then re -defined and placed into City Code.
Proposed Land Use Code Revisions:
Article 2 — Administration:
2.6.3(H) Stockpiling Permit and Development Construction Permit Review Procedures
(H) Step 8 (Standards — Stockpiling Permit): Not applicable, and in substitution therefor,
an application for a Stockpiling Permit shall be reviewed for compliance with the City
Code and all regulations related to such permit adopted by the city by reference or
otherwise, as amended, including, without limitation, the erosion control standards as
contained in the Stormwater Design Criteria and Construction Standards Manual —and
the dust control measures contained in the Dust Prevention and Control Manual.
Step 8 (Standards — Development Construction Permit): Not applicable, and in
substitution therefor, an application for a Development Construction Permit shall be
reviewed for compliance with the Site Specific Development Plan, the City Code and all
regulations related to such permit adopted by the city by reference or otherwise as
amended- , including, without limitation, the erosion control standards as contained in
the Stormwater Design Criteria and Construction Standards Manual and the dust control
measures contained in the Dust Prevention and Control Manual.
213
2.7.3(G)(H) Building Permit Review Procedures
(G) Step 7 (Public Hearing): Not applicable, and in substitution therefor, an application
for a Building Permit shall be processed, reviewed, considered and approved, approved
with modifications, or denied by the Building and Zoning Director based on its
compliance with the site specific development plan, the City Code and allbuildiRg
regulations related to such permit adopted by the city by reference or otherwise, as
amended.
(H) Step 8 (Standards): Not applicable, and in substitution therefor, an application for a
Building Permit shall be reviewed for compliance with the site specific development
plan, the City Code and all buildiRg regulations related to such permit adopted by the
city by reference or otherwise, as amended; and if the Building Permit is for the
enlargement of a building and/or for the expansion of facilities, equipment or structures
regulated under the provisions of Division 1.6, such application shall also comply with
Division 1.6.
Article 3 - General Development Standards:
3.4.2(A) Air Quality
(A) General Standard. The project shall conform to all applicable local, state and federa
air quality regulations and standards, including, but not limited to, those regulating odor,

Purpose:
The purpose
of this memo
is
to provide a brief update to
the Planning and Zoning
Board
on
the proposed
amendments
to
the Land Use Code related
to Fugitive Dust.
Background: As directed by Council in its 2014 Work Plan, staff in the Environmental Services
Department has developed an approach to address fugitive dust issues that includes proposed
code changes and a guidance manual. The Municipal Code changes require dust generating
activities to comply with the manual, and the manual outlines 13 dust generating activities, e.g.,
site grading, street sweeping, stockpiles, saw cutting and grinding, etc. and provides a suite of
required and optional control measures to control dust tailored to each activity.
Several minor Land Use Code changes are necessary in order to require compliance with the
proposed fugitive dust regulations; these changes are outlined in Attachment 1. Staff initially
presented these recommendations at a Planning and Zoning Board Work Session in January of
2015.
When Council First Reading was postponed to December 1, staff also postponed requesting a
recommendation from P&Z in order to ensure that if any changes were made, P&Z had the
opportunity to recommend the most recent version.
Additional Information: Attached to this information please find two additional documents:
• The most recent version of the DRAFT Dust Prevention and Control manual, which
illustrates the variety of best management practices that can be applied to the activity
generating dust; and
• A copy of memo recently provided to City Council with an update on the project,
including field data collected and outreach efforts conducted over the past year.

1.2 Purpose of Manual
The purpose of the Manual is to establish minimum requirements consistent with nationally recognized
practices for controlling fugitive dust emissions and to define "all available dust control measures that
are technologically feasible and economically reasonable to prevent off -property transport or off -vehicle
transport of fugitive dust emissions" pursuant to Fort Collins' Municipal Code §12-146(a) for specific
dust generating activities. The objective of the City's fugitive dust control program is to prevent health
and ecosystem impacts as well as nuisances from dust emissions through the application of readily
available and generally accepted dust control measures.
1.3 Applicability
The Manual applies to any person, owner, or operator who owns or operates a dust generating activity
or source, as defined in this manual, within the City of Fort Collins. A dust generating activity or source
creates dust emissions that are transported beyond the property or project boundary or transported off

2.0 Fugitive Dust and the Problems it Causes
2.1 What is Fugitive Dust?
Dust, also known as particulate matter, is made up of solid particles in the air that consist primarily of
dirt and soil but can also contain ash, soot, salts, pollen, heavy metals, asbestos, pesticides, and other
materials. "Fugitive" dust means particulate matter that has become airborne by wind or human
activities and has not been emitted from a stack, chimney, or vent. The Colorado Department of Public
Health and Environment (CDPHE) estimates that more than 4,300 tons of dust are emitted into the air in
Larimer County annually. The primary sources of this dust include construction activities, paved and
unpaved roads, and agricultural operations.
The quantity of dust emitted from a particular activity or area and the materials in it can depend on the
soil type (sand, clay, silt), moisture content (dry or damp), local wind speed, and the current or past uses
of the site (industrial, farming, construction).
2.2 Health and Environmental Effects
Dust particles are very small and can be easily inhaled. They can enter the respiratory system and
increase susceptibility to respiratory infections, and aggravate cardio-pulmonary disease. Even short-
term exposure to dust can cause wheezing, asthma attacks and allergic reactions, and may cause
increases in hospital admissions and emergency department visits for heart and lung related
diseases. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), studies have linked particulate
matter exposure to health problems such as:
•Irritation of the airways, coughing, and difficulty breathing
•Reduced lung function
•Aggravated asthma
DRAFT Dust Prevention and Control Manual
Do not cite or Quote
Page 5
222
•Chronic bronchitis
•Irregular heartbeat
•Increases in heart attacks
•Lung cancer
In addition, dust particles that have been stirred up from construction sites, industrial areas, agricultural
operations, or roadways can contain pesticides, heavy metals, asbestos, bacteria, fungi, and a variety of
other contaminants and carcinogens that cause adverse impacts not only to humans but to animals and
vegetation as well.
Fugitive dust emissions can cause significant environmental impacts as well as health effects. When
dust from wind erosion or human activity deposits out of the air, it may impact vegetation, adversely
affect nearby soils and waterways, and cause damage to cultural resources. Wind erosion can result in
the loss of valuable top soil, reduce crop yields, and stunt plant growth. According to the EPA, effects of
particulate matter deposition include:
•Haze and reduced visibility
•Increased acidity of lakes and streams
•Nutrient balance changes in coastal waters and river basins
•Reduced levels of nutrients in soil
•Damage to forests and crops
•Reduced diversity in ecosystems
•Damage to stone and other materials

deposited depends on the size and type of the particles as well as
wind speed and direction. When this material settles, it can be
deposited on homes, cars, lawns, pools and ponds, hanging
laundry, and other property. The small particles can get trapped
in machinery and electronics causing abrasion, corrosion, and
malfunctions. The deposited dust can damage painted surfaces,
clog filtration systems, stain materials and cause other expensive
clean-up projects.
2.4 Safety Hazard and Visibility
Blowing dust can be a safety hazard at construction sites and on
roads and highways. Dust can obstruct visibility and can cause
accidents between vehicles and bikes, pedestrians, or site
workers. Dust plumes can also decrease visibility across a natural
area or scenic vistas. The "brown cloud" that is often visible
along the Front Range during the winter months and the brilliant
red sunsets that occur some afternoons are caused by particulate
matter and other pollutants in the air.

3.0 Dust Control Measures
Colorado state air regulations, Larimer County air quality standards, and Fort Collins' Municipal Code
generally require owners and operators of dust generating activities or sources to use all available and
practical methods that are technologically feasible and economically reasonable in order to prevent
fugitive dust emissions. However, state regulations and permitting requirements typically apply to
larger stationary sources rather than to specific activities that generate dust. Larimer County fugitive
dust standards apply to land development only.
Although state and county requirements apply to many construction activities, they do not address
many sources of dust emissions and City code compliance officers do not have authority to enforce state
or county regulations. Fort Collins is experiencing rapid growth and development that has contributed
to local man-made dust emissions. The City has established Chapter 12, §12-147 to address dust
generating activities that negatively impact citizens in Fort Collins.
This manual describes established methods for controlling dust emissions that are practical and used in
common practice to prevent or mitigate impacts to air quality from dust generating activities and
sources that are relevant to Fort Collins.
Fort Collins is located in a dry region where dust in the air can be affected by high winds and natural
sources of dust such as wildfire smoke, pollen, and transport of dust from other regions. The objective
of the dust control measures included in this manual are to reduce dust emissions from human activities
and to prevent those emissions from impacting others and are based on the following principles:
Prevent— avoid creating dust emissions through good project planning and modifying or
replacing dust generating activities.
Control — reduce dust emissions with methods that capture, collect, or contain emissions.
Restrict Access —
prevent
public exposure by
restricting
access to the dusty area when a dust
generating activity
cannot
be modified or dust
emissions
cannot be adequately controlled.

3.12 Mechanical Blowing
Mechanical blowers are commonly used to move dirt, sand, leaves, grass clippings and other
landscaping debris to a central location for easier pick-up and removal. Mechanical blowing with a leaf
blower can be a significant source of fugitive dust in some situations and can create nuisance conditions
and cause health effects for sensitive individuals. Mechanical (leaf) blowing can resuspend dust
particles that contain allergens, pollens, and molds, as well as pesticides, fecal contaminants, and toxic
metals causing allergic reactions, asthma attacks and exacerbating other respiratory illnesses.

powered) in a manner that is a dust generating activity or source shall use one or more of the following
dust control measures as necessary or as directed by a City code compliance officer to prevent off -
property transport of fugitive dust emissions:
(i) Alternative method: use an alternative where possible, such as a rake, broom, shovel,
manual push sweeper or a vacuum machine equipped with a filtration system.
(ii) Prevent impact: do not blow dust and debris towards people, animals, open windows, air
intakes, or parked vehicles or onto adjacent property, public right-of-way, storm drainage
facility, or watercourse.
(iii) Prevent use on dirt: minimize the use of mechanical blower on unpaved surfaces, road
shoulders, or loose dirt.
(iv) Low speed: use the lowest speed appropriate for the task.
(v) Operation: use the full length of the blow tube and place the nozzle as close to the ground as
possible.
(vi) Wet suppression: use a light spray of water, as necessary and appropriate considering
current weather conditions, to dampen dusty work areas. Prevent water, dirt, and debris from
entering any storm drainage facility, or watercourse.

5.0 Enforcement of Dust Control Requirements
It is the responsibility of any person, owner, or operator who conducts a dust generating activity or who
owns or operates a dust generating source to be aware of and comply with the requirements contained
in this manual, as well as any other local, county, state, or federal requirements related to the control of
fugitive dust emissions. The City of Fort Collins will monitor the effectiveness of dust control measures
for controlling fugitive dust through inspections and response to citizen complaints and concerns.
City inspectors conduct routine inspections in response to building permits, development construction
permits, excavation permits, stockpile permits, erosion control plans, and a variety of infrastructure and
capital improvement construction projects. Code compliance officers respond to citizen concerns and
complaints to determine if a code violation has occurred. As a part of a routine inspection or in
response to a citizen complaint, City inspectors or code compliance officers who have been trained in
fugitive dust control will evaluate the presence and effectiveness of dust control measures that are in
place at the site. Code compliance officers respond to complaints from citizens who are being impacted
by fugitive dust.
If, during a routine inspection or a response to a specific complaint, there is (1) evidence of off -property
transport of fugitive dust emissions attributable to dust generating activities or sources at the inspection
site and (2) there are no or ineffective dust control measures in place, then the inspector or code
compliance officer may take the following action(s):
• Determine if off -property or off -vehicle transport of fugitive dust emissions has occurred or is
occurring.
• Determine if dust control measures have been implemented appropriately and effectively.
• Direct the person, owner, or operator responsible for the dust generating activity or source to
improve existing dust control measures.
• Direct the person, owner, or operator responsible for the dust generating activity or source to
implement additional dust control measures.
• Allow a reasonable time for implementation of improved or additional dust control measures
and re -inspect.
• Issue a notice of non-compliance in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 1 §1-15 if dust
control measures have not been improved or implemented that resolve the off -property or off -
vehicle transport of fugitive dust emissions.
A violation of Municipal Code Chapter 12, §12-147 will not be issued if off -property transport of fugitive
dust emissions occurs during periods of local wind speeds greater than 30 miles per hour if the person
conducting the dust generating activity or the owner or operator of a dust generating source has
implemented the dust control measures as described in this manual.

Purpose: The purpose of this memo is to provide an update to Council on the current status of the
Dust Prevention and Control project. This project is currently scheduled for First Reading at the
December 1 Council Regular Hearing, and the project is on track to meet this timeframe.
Summary: The following issues are addressed in this memo:
• Project need — This project is intended to fill gaps in existing regulations related to fugitive dust
and to minimize health impacts from dust generating activities.
• Background— This project was initiated in 2014 at the direction of Council and includes code
changes and guidance manual to provide solutions for how to address the proposed
regulations. The adoption hearing for this project was delayed to allow additional data to be
collected and for additional public engagement.
• Current efforts — Staff is engaged in a pilot project that includes the collection of field data and
stakeholder engagement primarily through the Fugitive Dust Working Group. These efforts are
designed to answer the following questions:
o Will addressing fugitive dust increase construction costs? It varies. There are some
cases, e.g., street sweeping, saw cutting, where state and local regulations do not apply
and there would be increased costs. In other cases, some contractors are already
complying with the practices outlined in the manual and no additional costs would arise.
Where costs will increase, regional data have been compiled to quantify these amounts.
Staff is currently reviewing these numbers with local contractors to ensure they apply to
Fort Collins.
o Will addressing fugitive dust reduce air quality impacts? Yes, initial field data suggest
that employing mitigation techniques can reduce the dust generated by up to 90=95%.
o Does water use increase with mitigation techniques? Certain dust mitigation measures
do increase water use while others require no water to implement. Local data have been
difficult to collect and vary significantly. Exact data is currently being collected at the
.Utilities Administration Building construction site to help inform the project.
o Does the overall construction timeline increase with the implementation of these
regulations? If planned appropriately, construction timelines should not change, but
additional labor costs are anticipated. As with water use, these data vary significantly
depending on the type of dust generating activity that is conducted.

Fort Collins
Need. "Fugitive dust" consists primarily of soil particles in the air caused by wind and human activities
such as excavating, demolition, abrasive blasting, and other activities. Dust causes health impacts;
safety, visibility, and aesthetic issues, and is a nuisance that can cause expensive damage to property
and machinery. While there are existing state and county regulations that address dust, these
regulations are not sufficient at controlling dust emissions in many cases because:
• Some sources of dust emissions, e.g., sweet sweeping, saw cutting, etc, that affect Fort
Collins citizens are not covered by state or county regulations.
• State and county compliance and enforcement resources are limited.
• City code compliance officers cannot enforce state and county dust control requirements.
• Based on data collected in association with this project (see below), dust control measures
appear to be applied inconsistently in the City and additional guidance is necessary.
Staff is also working on
a diagram to
illustrate more clearly the exact gaps in
regulations that this
program is addressing;
this diagram
will be prepared prior to the December 1
Council Hearing.
Background: As directed by Council in its 2014 Work Plan, staff in the Environmental Services
Department has constructed an approach to address fugitive dust issues that includes proposed code
changes and a guidance manual. The Municipal Code changes require dust generating activities to
comply with the manual, and the manual outlines 13 dust generating activities, e.g., site grading, street
sweeping, stockpiles, saw cutting and grinding, etc. and provides a suite of required and optional
control measures to control dust tailored to each activity.
Originally scheduled to be adopted in the spring of 2015, the project was delayed to allow for a pilot
project in 2015 to collect additional data related to the costs, air quality impacts, water use, and overall
time required should the regulations and best practices be implemented. The pilot project also includes
the formation of a Fugitive Dust Working Group (FDWG) to review the field study, the proposed
Ordinance, and the guidance manual. Staff has also conducted additional public engagement efforts
related to the project, further described below.
Current Efforts: Staff is working on the following tasks:
Field Study— Staff has visited construction sites on 30 occasions and conducted 8 controlled
measurement observations to assess (1) cost, (2) air quality impacts, (3) water use and (4) overall time
requirements. In the 30 observations conducted on construction sites, dust mitigation measures, in any
form, were observed in 23 of the 30 site visits. There was no dust mitigation measures employed and
observed in 7 of the 30 field site visits. Only 4 of the 30 site visits included dust mitigation measures
that would comply with the best management practices outlined in the manual. Staff also observed that
construction sites were inconsistent in their application of dust mitigation practices, e.g., the site may
not have dust mitigation measures in place for one portion of a site and then have no measures in
place for another portion of a site. This inconsistency in the application of dust mitigation measures
reinforces the need for the additional guidance and standards provided by the code changes and the
manual.
(1) Cost: Cost data were initially collected to inform the project and included information from a
regional manual on construction costs (RS Means 2014 Construction Cost Data) and City
contracts from the past five years. These data are currently being reviewed with local
contractors to assess if they are reasonable for Fort Collins. This comparison is expected to be
available in advance of the next FDWG meeting on October 14"'.

(2) Air Quality impacts: Controlled observations included observing and sampling a dust
generating activity without any mitigation measures and then conducting the same activity with
mitigation measures in place. In the initial set of controlled measurement observations, staff
observed up to a 90=95% decrease in dust generated by applying the best management
practices outlined in the manual. Further controlled observations are planned to test the full
range of activities included in the manual.
(3) Water Use: Certain dust measures do require water use, though data collection on specific
amounts is difficult to collect, e.g., the amount of water spraying from a hose to spray down a
site during site compaction. In some cases, water use can be minimal. For example, one
construction site sprayed water from a Gatorade water bottle while cutting concrete. On the
other hand, a water truck required to be on site daily to reduce fugitive dust from stockpiles can
require significantly more water (exact data for this activity is being collected at the Utilities
Administration Building construction site). It should be noted the greatest water use would likely
be seen at sites over 25 acres or exceeding 6 months duration; these sites already are required
to have a dust control plan in accordance with county regulations, and thus, overall water use
may not increase significantly because of these regulations.
(4) Overall Time Requirements: Similar to water use, time requirements vary significantly for
different dust measurements. The concrete cutting example required a second laborer to hold
the water bottle, but the entire activity's duration was short (approximately 30 minutes). During
the completion of the Horsetooth and Timberline intersection renovation, cutting occurred over a
four day period, so an additional laborer would likely be required for a four day period. With the
water truck example, operation of the equipment can vary based on site scale and the number
of materials that need to be watered. Thus, while specific data on time were difficult to collect,
staff's observation during the field project indicate that while time to implement these
requirements would increase, overall time varies significantly based on the dust generating
activity.
Stakeholder engagement —The main mechanism for public engagement is via the Fugitive Dust
Working Group, which includes a group of contractors, environmental consultants, CSU
representatives, and City staff. This group has met three times to review the proposed regulations and
guidance manual. Two more meetings are scheduled prior to First Reading.
In addition to the Working Group, staff is meeting with the Air Quality Advisory Board on October 19`h
and the Chamber of Commerce Local Legislative Affairs Committee on October 30"'. The project has
also engaged the public in the following manner throughout the project:
• Stakeholder meeting (2014)
• Public open house (February, 2015)
• Presentations to the Chamber and North Fort Collins Business Association (2015)
• Visited with 6 Boards and Commissions (2014 and 2015)
• Conducted a dust impact survey with almost 200 respondents
• Individual discussions with contractors, citizens, and City Departments through the field study
and in various meetings.
