Prospect Station II PDP#150021 Project: Prospect Station II PDP#150021 Project Description: This is a request for consideration of a Project Development Plan (P.D.P.) and Modification of Standard for Prospect Station II. The proposed project is located on a 1.04 acre site at 303 West Prospect Road. The project is proposing a three story multi -family building containing 36 units and 54 bedrooms, with 18 one -bedroom and 18 two -bedroom units. The proposed 25,750 square no Planning & Zoning Board March 8, 2016 Page 3 foot building will be constructed of brick, stucco, board and batten, with architectural metal and stone accents. The proposed parking area will provide 43 parking spaces, 11 of which are reserved for the existing Prospect Station I building. The site is zoned Employment (E) in which multi -family dwellings are permitted subject to Planning and Zoning Board approval. Recommendation: Approval Staff and Applicant Presentations Rayno Caesar, representing the owner team of Prospect Station 11, gave an overview of the project, including some history of the property itself. He showed some maps of the development, and he discussed some of the plans to memorialize the original building. He wants to keep the scale of the building down but still have ample parking. His goal is to build something for young professionals, offering a mix of 1- and 2-bedroom units, aiming for an estimated completion date in 2017. The project team has considered traffic issues and feels there will be minimal impact on Prospect Avenue. Cathy Mathis, with TB Group (landscape architects), addressed some of the questions that came up at the work session: she discussed the proposed parking space locations (which should be ample based on City requirements), the central gathering spaces (City requirements are being met), and landscaping features (several pergolas and outdoor features will be utilized). Ian Shuff, project architect with ALM2S, reviewed the phase I buildings that are built along with the proposed phase II buildings. He discussed the materials that would be used, planned colors, and a variety of fenestration to create offsets and compliments to the phase I buildings. He also showed slides of elevations and perspectives. Planner Lorson presented some of the highlights of the project, including the modification of standard request for secondary uses, saying that the overall district will be increased to a total of 22% secondary usage. This meets the standard that requires the modification to be nominal and inconsequential with respect to the whole project. He also discussed the three concerns brought up at the work session: public gathering spaces, building elevations and design, and transportation impact study. He addressed the section of the Land Use Code that exempts multi -family projects that are in the Transit Overlay District (TOD) from two different standards: access to a public gathering places and the 15-foot minimum setback. Martina Wilkinson, Traffic Operations, gave the Board some statistics of proposed traffic volumes during rush hours, impacts to drivers, coordination with other projects (including CSU projects) and improvements. Public Input None noted. Board Questions and Staff Response Member Hart asked whether the left -turn movements would be limited; Ms. Wilkinson stated the left-hand turns are somewhat self-regulating, even during peak hours, and she does not recommend any type of limitation at this time. Board Questions and Staff Response None noted. 7 Planning & Zoning Board March 8, 2016 Page 4 Board Deliberation Member Heinz acknowledged that her prior concerns have been mitigated. Member Heinz made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board approve the request for modification section 4.27(D)(2) secondary uses, since the plan, as submitted, will not diverge from the standards of the Land Use Code except in a nominal and inconsequential way, when considered from the perspective of the entire development plan, and will continue to advance the purposes of the LUC as contained in section 1.2.2, as taken from page 8 in the staff report. Member Carpenter seconded. Member Hart suggested that the correct page reference in the staff report should be pages 8 and 9, rather than just 8. Assistant City Attorney Yatabe agreed and suggested that this should be amended. Chair Kirkpatrick amended the motion to include this amendment. Vote: 5:0. Member Heinz made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Board approve Prospect Station II, PDP#150021, based on the findings of fact and conclusions on pages 8 and 9 of the staff report. Member Carpenter seconded the motion. Vote: 5:0. Other Business Member Hart mentioned that the concept of a mixed -use development was questioned because of the project details; he would like to look at the mixed -use requirement overall to determine how it works best and perhaps only require it in certain areas. Planning Director Gloss agreed and stated that this would be one of the topics that will be scrutinized as part of the City Plan Update. The City Plan Update will be reviewed at the next work session. Member Heinz asked if the Board members could do anything special to prepare for this topic; Planning Director Gloss responded that the Board members could continue speaking with staff or doing an interactive brainstorming exercise as an assignment (urgent issues could include: affordable housing, neighborhood character, infill, etc.). Chair Kirkpatrick will also compile notes from meetings that could be used for this purpose. It was decided that the next work session may realistically continue until 5:OOpm as a result of these items. The meeting was adjourned at 6:51 pm. Cameron Gloss, Planning Director Kristin Kirkpatrick, Chair EOO Agenda Item 2 PROJECT NAME E. PROSPECT AT BOXELDER CREEK ANNEXATION AND ZONING STAFF Clark Mapes, City Planner PROJECT INFORMATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request to annex a segment of East Prospect Road right-of-way. The request is related to a City Utilities and Engineering project to improve the Boxelder Creek crossing of the road for flood management purposes. The segment is located east of Summitview Drive and west of the Interstate 25 frontage road. The segment is approximately 1,000 feet in length. PETITIONERS: RECOMMENDATION: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Background Proposed zoning is a combination of U-E, Urban Estate, and E, Employment consistent with the City Structure Plan and existing zoning on adjacent properties. Thomas Moore PO Box 449, Fort Collins CO 80521 Thomas and Laura B. Glanz 3755 Bromley Dr., Fort Collins CO 80525 Staff recommends approval of the annexation and placement into the U- E, Urban Estate, and E, Employment zone districts. The City initiated this annexation to enable efficient design and construction of the Boxelder Creek crossing project. Annexation allows the project to proceed without involving Larimer County reviews and approvals of work in the right-of-way. The County supports the project and the annexation. Two abutting properties are involved in the project, and the owners are cooperating directly with the City, including signing the petition to annex. Small portions of the two affected properties will be purchased for additional City right-of-way as part of the project. Item # 2 Page 1 9 Agenda Item 2 The area to be annexed is located within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area and is eligible for annexation. According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Growth Management Area (GMA), the City agrees to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible according to State law. The subject property gains the required one -sixth (16.66%) contiguity to existing city limits from several abutting properties. 42% of the total perimeter is contiguous to the existing municipal boundary, thus exceeding the required minimum. 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, and the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements. This annexation of right-of-way fills two small gaps in existing city limits along East Prospect Road which clarifies and consolidates responsibility. The annexation creates two enclaves, one of 15.4 acres and the other of 1.8 acres. The enclaves contain undeveloped property, with the exception of one single family house. 2. Abutting zoning and land uses Direction Zone District Existing Land Uses North E, Employment District and County FA, Farming District Large -lot single-family houses and vacant property South County FA and P-O-L, Public Open Lands District Large -lot single-family house, vacant property, and State Visitors Welcome Center East C-G, General Commercial District Prospect Road right-of-way near the 1-25 frontage road West C-C-R, Community Commercial River District Prospect Road right-of-way near Hageman Earth Cycle landscape materials and recycling business FINDINGS OF FACT: A. The property meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for a voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins. B. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Growth Management Area. C. The requested zoning, U-E, Urban Estate and E, Employment, is in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan (Structure Plan Map). D. The request is in conformance with Section 2.9, Amendment to the Zoning Map, of the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. E. On April 5, 2016, 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 Item # 2 Page 2 10 Agenda Item 2 initiated the annexation process for the property by establishing the date, time and place when a City Council public hearing would be held regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning board make a motion to recommend that City Council approve the East Prospect at Boxelder Creek Annexation and Zoning #ANX160001, and place the property into the U-E, Urban Estate and E, Employment zone districts, based on the Findings of Fact in the Staff Report.

Per Council direction during the February 9 Work Session, staff has developed an exception for small residential projects (less than 10,000 square feet), whereby these projects do not have to employ the Dust Control Manual to prevent, control, and minimize dust generation unless two written warnings have been issued within a one year period. In addition to the regulations and set of best practices outlined in the Dust Control Manual, staff has developed and is implementing a tracking system for fugitive dust complaints. In addition, per Council direction, the City has enacted an Administrative Policy applying the Dust Control Manual to all City projects, so that the City is leading by example. Revisions to the Land Use Code must be evaluated by the Planning and Zoning Board before City Council approval. APPLICANT: City of Fort Collins RECOMMENDATION: Approval EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 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 Item # 3 Page 1 16 Agenda Item 3 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 12 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 has discussed these recommendations with the Planning and Zoning Board during several Work Session meetings over the past year. Overall Approach: On February 9, 2016, City Council reviewed the potential approaches to preventing, minimizing, and controlling dust within Fort Collins. Council directed staff to address dust control in four main ways: 1. First, lead by example as a Municipal Organization in adopting the Manual (see Attachment 3) into the City's Administrative Policy. 2. Second, to collect additional data on the implications (from a cost perspective) to applying the proposed dust prevention and control regulations on residential properties. Council noted the significant community discussion around housing affordability as a key concern. 3. Third, Council asked staff to begin tracking dust complaints immediately, so that they can better assess the extent of the problem and tailor potential solutions in the future. 4. Finally, Council directed staff to develop a hybrid approach to regulating fugitive dust by requiring all sites to prevent, minimize and control dust; but to only apply the Manual on sites over a certain size. Council directed staff to ascertain what the right threshold (size) is to apply the Manual based on a data -driven approach and through additional stakeholder outreach. As discussed with Council, once adopted, staff is proposing that enforcement of these regulations be delayed until November 1, 2016 in order to allow for training and outreach to occur prior to enforcement. 1. Lead by Example While City operations and capital projects have consistently addressed dust on individual project sites, based on feedback from City Council, the City Manager has adopted the Manual into the City's Administrative Policy in March 2016. Staff met with over thirteen City Departments and developed the following approach to leading by example: • City operations — will use the Manual to implement dust prevention and control immediately upon adoption into City Administrative Policy • City Contracts — o New bids and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) — The Manual will be incorporated into the specifications or supplemental terms on all new bids as of March 2016. o In -process bids and RFPs — An addendum will be initiated if timing allows, or it will be incorporated in conjunction with contract negotiations. o Existing contracts — City staff will begin working on a process to amend existing contracts, either at the time of renewal or via change order or amendment, to ensure that all existing contracts are in compliance with the Manual by November 1, 2016 (proposed date for when the private sector shall comply with the proposed regulations). 2. Collect additional data on the cost implications of implementing the regulations, especially from a housing affordability perspective As discussed during the February 9 Work Session, staff worked with AECOM and members of the Fugitive Dust Working Group to determine the impact, from a cost perspective, of implementing the proposed regulations around dust prevention and control. Since the Work Session, the cost data have been broken out according to the required versus additional best management practices and an additional data point has been developed for the costs for single family homes, see the table below.

Tracking of dust complaints To begin to track the overall number and type of complaints associated with dust generating activities, staff has developed a tracking spreadsheet that is available on a SharePoint site, where all City staff can access, enter, and track complaints. Two complaints in 2016 have been entered thus far. The spreadsheet has been shared with the Air Quality Advisory Board and Fugitive Dust Working Group and amended based on their feedback. 4. The Hybrid Approach to Preventing, Minimizing, and Controlling Dust Based on feedback from Council, staff has developed the following hybrid approach for preventing, minimizing, and controlling fugitive dust: 1. All projects must cover loads of aggregate material (Section 3.6 of the Manual) and implement the required saw cutting and grinding best management practices (Section 3.10 of the Manual). 2. All projects must comply with the provisions outlined in the dust control manual, except that residential projects under 10,000 square feet (measured by lot size) are exempt from this requirement (though they are still required to prevent and control dust, but they do not have to use the best management practices outlined in the manual). o There are two exceptions to this rule: ■ First, if a builder is constructing multiple lots that are contiguous to each other, and the total area of these contiguous lots exceeds 10,000 square feet, then the manual applies. ■ Second, if a builder or operator receives two written warnings within a one year period, then the builder or operator has to utilize the dust control manual to address fugitive dust on their site. 3. Staff is proposing that enforcement of these regulations be delayed until November 1, 2016 in order to allow for training and outreach to occur prior to enforcement. These requirements are further described below: • Requiring all projects to cover loads and use the required saw cutting and grinding BMPs: Staff recommends requiring all projects to adhere to these standards because these dust generating activities Item # 3 Page 3 Agenda Item 3 can have significant impacts on neighbors and have minimal costs to control via the dust mitigation techniques outlined in the manual. o For example, not covering loads is one of the most frequent complaints staff receives related to fugitive dust, and both of the required BMPs result in negligible to no additional costs to the operator. o Saw cutting and grinding was one of the activities that, when BMPs were applied, dust generated was reduced between 95-99% in the controlled observations. In addition, utilizing water when cutting or grinding is a technique that extends the life of the saw and is recognized as a best practice in the industry. • Exemotina residential Droiects under 10.000 square feet from aoDlvina the BMPs outlined in the Manual upfront: o During the Council Work Session, Councilmembers reiterated the community -wide concerns related to housing affordability. Staff was directed to develop a data -driven approach to finding the right threshold for which the manual would only apply if problems occurred. o Staff reviewed building permits from 2015 and found that 80% of single family detached permits were for lots under 10,000 square feet. In addition, this threshold is comparable to when erosion control planning requirements are applied to sites (though that threshold is based on disturbed area instead of lot size). o Based on these data, staff shared these proposed thresholds with the Fugitive Dust Working Group, the Planning and Zoning Board, the Air Quality Advisory Board, and City staff. All groups felt that exempting residential projects under 10,000 square feet addressed the concerns related to housing affordability and encompassed the majority of residential housing projects that do not tend to generate significant amounts of dust. o The one exception to this threshold is when builders are constructing contiguous lots that exceed the 10,000 square foot threshold. Staff proposes that if a builder is constructing multiple lots that are contiguous to each other, and the total area of these contiguous lots exceeds 10,000 square feet, then the manual should apply. • Delayed enforcement: As discussed at the Council Work Session, staff is still proposing that enforcement be delayed until November 1, 2016. If adopted by City Council, staff would propose the following timeline for training, outreach, and enforcement: o May -June Develop training and enforcement materials o June -August Conduct training sessions with City staff and the private sector o June -October Conduct outreach on the regulations and the manual o June/July - October Soft enforcement (no fines) of the regulations o November Official enforcement begins ATTACHMENTS 1. Fugitive Dust Code Changes - Problem Statement (DOCX) 2. Draft Land Use Code Ordinance (DOCX) 3. Dust Prevention and Control Manual (PDF) Item # 3 Page 4 19 Attachment 1 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.

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 particulate matter are emitted into the air in Larimer County annually. The primary sources of this particulate matter 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 Why is the City Addressing Fugitive Dust? Colorado state air regulations and Larimer County air quality standards 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 activities that generate dust. Larimer County fugitive dust standards apply only to land development. 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 Article X of Chapter 12 of the Code (§§12- 150-12-159) to address dust generating activities and sources that negatively impact citizens in Fort Collins. DRAFT Dust Prevention and Control Manual Do not cite or Quote — Legal Review Pending Page 5 32 Attachment 3 2.3 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. 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 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), studies have linked particulate matter exposure to health problems and environmental impacts such as: •Health Impacts: o Irritation of the airways, coughing, and difficulty breathing c Reduced lung function and lung cancer c Aggravated asthma and chronic bronchitis o Irregular heartbeat and increases in heart attacks •Environmental Impacts: o Haze and reduced visibility o Reduced levels of nutrients in soil 2.4 Nuisance and Aesthetics Dust, dirt and debris that become airborne eventually settle back down to the surface. How far it travels and where it gets 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, 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. 2.5 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", often visible along the Front Range during the winter months, and the brilliant red sunsets that occur are often caused by particulate matter and other pollutants in the air. DRAFT Dust Prevention and Control Manual Do not cite or Quote — Legal Review Pending 33 Attachment 3 3.0 Best Management Practices This Manual describes established best management practices 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 occurring within Fort Collins. 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. Minimize— reduce dust emissions with methods that capture, collect, or contain emissions. Mitigate — when preventing fugitive dust or minimizing the impacts are not feasible, the Manual provides specific measures to mitigate dust. More specifically, the Manual establishes the following procedures for each dust generating activity outlined in this Chapter: 1. Required Best Management Practices — this section includes the specific measures that are required to be implemented if the dust generating activity is occurring. For example, high wind restrictions (temporarily halting work when wind speeds exceed 30 mph) are required best management practices for earthmoving, demolition/renovation, saw cutting or grind, abrasive blasting, and leaf blowing. 2. Additional Best Management Practices —this section includes additional measures if the required best management practices are ineffective at preventing off -property transport of particulate matter. At least one of the additional best management practices outlined in the Manual must be implemented on the site to be in compliance with the Manual and Code. 3. Additional Requirements —When applicable, additional measures are also required, e.g., a dust control plan when project sites are over 5 acres in size. DRAFT Dust Prevention and Control Manual Do not cite or Quote — Legal Review Pending Page 7 34 Attachment 3 3.1 Earthmoving Activities Above: This figure illustrates earthmoving, which is an activity that can generate dust. Dust emissions from earthmoving activities depend on the type and extent of activity being conducted, the amount of exposed surface area, wind conditions, and soil type and moisture content, including: • Site preparation (clearing, grubbing, scraping) • Road construction • Grading and overlot grading • Excavating, trenching, backfilling and compacting • Loading and unloading dirt, soil, gravel, or other earth materials • Dumping of dirt, soil, gravel, or other earth materials into trucks, piles, or receptacles • Screening of dirt, soil, gravel, or other earth materials Best Management Practices to Control Dust (a) Required Best Management Practices: Any person, owner, or operator who conducts earthmoving that is a dust generating activity or source shall implement the following best management practices to prevent off -property transport of fugitive dust emissions: (i) Minimize disturbed area: plan the project or activity so that the minimum amount of disturbed soil or surface area is exposed to wind or vehicle traffic at any one time. (ii) Reduce vehicle speeds: establish a maximum speed limit or install traffic calming devices to reduce speeds to a rate to mitigate off -property transport of dust entrained by vehicles. (iii) Minimize drop height: Drivers and operators shall unload truck beds and loader or excavator buckets slowly, and minimize drop height of materials to the lowest height possible, including screening operations. (iv) High winds restriction: temporarily halt work activities during high wind events greater than 30 mph if operations would result in off -property transport. (v) Restrict access: restrict access to the work area to only authorized vehicles and personnel DRAFT Dust Prevention and Control Manual Do not cite or Quote — Legal Review Pending 35 Attachment 3 (b) Additional Best Management Practices: In the event 3.1(a)(i)-(v) are ineffective to prevent off - property transport, the person, owner, or operator shall use at least one of the following best management practices: (i) Wet suppression: apply water to disturbed soil surfaces, backfill materials, screenings, and other dust generating operations as necessary and appropriate considering current weather conditions, and prevent water used for dust control from entering any public right-of-way, stormwater drainage facility, or watercourse. (ii) Wind barrier: construct a fence or other type of wind barrier to prevent wind erosion of top soils. (iii) Vegetation: plant vegetation appropriate for retaining soils or creating a wind break. (iv) Surface roughening: stabilize an active construction area during periods of inactivity or when vegetation cannot be immediately established. (v) Synthetic or natural cover: install cover materials during periods of inactivity and properly anchor the cover. (vi) Soil retention: stabilize disturbed or exposed soil surface areas that will be inactive for more than 30 days or while vegetation is being established. (vii) Chemical stabilization: apply chemical stabilizers using manufacturer's recommended application rates. Avoid over -application and prevent runoff of chemical stabilizers into any public right-of-way, storm drainage facility, or watercourse. Asphalt -based products or any product containing cationic polyacrylamide or products deemed environmentally incompatible with Code §26-498, or defined as a pollutant per Code §26-491, or explicitly prohibited by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the state of Colorado may not be used for chemical stabilization. Water soluble plant -based oils or gums, clay additives, or other synthetic polymer emulsion that are non -toxic, non-combustible, and harmless to fish, wildlife, plants, pets, and humans may be used for chemical stabilization. (c) Additional requirements: Any person, owner, or operator who conducts earthmoving that is a dust generating activity or source at a construction site or land development project with a total disturbed surface area equal to or greater than five (5) acres also shall implement the following measures: (i) Dust Control Plan: submit a plan that describes all potential sources of fugitive dust and methods that will be employed to control dust emissions with the development construction permit application or development review application (see Chapter 4 of this Manual). A copy of the Dust Control Plan must be onsite at all times and one copy must be provided to all contractors and operators engaged in dust generating activities at the site. (ii) Construction sequencing: include sequencing or phasing in the project plan to minimize the amount of disturbed area at any one time. Sites with greater than 25 acres of disturbed surface exposed at any one time may be asked to provide additional justification, revise the sequencing plan, or include additional best management practices.

This is a 100% voluntary annexation. The parcel currently consists of one single family home. The parcel is west of the Brown Farm Subdivision and south of the drive-in movie theater. In accordance with the City Plan's Structure Plan Map, the requested zoning for this annexation is L-M-N, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. APPLICANT/OWNER: Mr. Jeff Mark Landhuis Company. 212 North Wahsatch Avenue, Suite 301 Colorado Springs, CO 80903 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the annexation and placement into the L- M-N, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood zone district as well as the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is a request to annex and zone 18.52 acres which is located at the northeast corner of West Drake Road and South Overland Trail and addressed as 2430 South Overland Trail. According to the Intergovernmental Agreement with Larimer County, the City agrees to consider annexing parcels that are within the Growth Management Area and are contiguous to the municipal boundary. Of the total perimeter boundary, the annexation has 84.3% contiguity thus exceeding the necessary one -sixth (16.66%) contiguity. Because of the location within an established residential area, the parcel will be placed into the Residential Neighborhood Sign District which is consistent with the surrounding area. Item # 4 Page 1 Agenda Item 4 COMMENTS: 1, Background: The property is located within the Fort Collins Growth Management Area. According to policies and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the (1.) Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Growth Management Area, the City will agree to consider annexation of property in the GMA when the property is eligible for annexation according to State law. The subject property gains the required one -sixth contiguity to existing City limits in the following manner: East: Herring Annexation, 103 acres, (1977), now known as the Brown Farm Subdivision. South: Dixon Creek Annexation, 58.7 acres, (1980), now known as the Quail Hollow Subdivision. West: Pine Ridge Third Annexation, 102 acres, (1999), now part of the Pine Ridge Natural Area. As a result, 84.3% of the total perimeter is contiguous to the existing municipal boundary which exceeds the required minimum (16.66%). 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, and the Larimer County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements. The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: County FA-1 Drive -In Movie Theatre S: R-L Quail Hollow and Burns Ranch Subdivisions E: R-L Brown Farm Subdivision W: P-O-L Pine Ridge Natural Area 2. Zoning: Per the Structure Plan Map, the proposed zoning for the subject annexation is L-M-N, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. The Land Use Code describes this district as: "...intended to be a setting for a predominance of low density housing combined with complementary and supporting land uses that serve a neighborhood and are developed and operated in harmony with the residential characteristics of a neighborhood. The main purpose of the District is to meet a wide range of needs of everyday living in neighborhoods that include a variety of housing choices, that invite walking to gathering places, services and conveniences, and that are fully integrated into the larger community by the pattern of streets, blocks, and other linkages. A neighborhood center provides a focal point, and attractive walking and biking paths invite residents to enjoy the center as well as the small neighborhood parks. Any new development in this District shall be arranged to form part of an individual neighborhood. Item # 4 Page 2 70 Agenda Item 4 Typically, Low Density Neighborhoods will be clustered around and integral with a Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood with a Neighborhood Commercial Center at its core. For the purposes of this Division, a neighborhood shall be considered to consist of approximately eighty (80) to one hundred sixty (160) acres, with its edges typically consisting of major streets, drainageways, irrigation ditches, railroad tracks and other major physical features." 3. Findings of Fact: A. The property meets the eligibility requirements included in State law to qualify for a voluntary annexation to the City of Fort Collins. B. The annexation of this area is consistent with the policies and agreements between Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins contained in the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Growth Manaaement Area. C. The requested zoning, L-M-N, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood, is in conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan (Structure Plan Map). D. The request is in conformance with Section 2.9, Amendment to the Zoning Map, of the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. E. On April 5, 2016, 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 City Council public hearing would be held regarding the readings of the Ordinances annexing and zoning the area. F. Since the parcel is located north and west of existing residential subdivisions, and east of a City -owned natural area, Staff recommends that the parcel be included in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. This is consistent with the surrounding area. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning board make a motion to approve the 18.52 acre Mountain's Edge Annexation and Zoning #ANX160002, and placement into the L-M-N, Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood zone district. Further Staff recommends placement into the Residential Neighborhood Sign District. These recommendations are based on the Findings of Fact on pages three and four of this Staff Report.

Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 Approval Item #5 Page 1 Agenda Item 5 400 200 0 Gardens on Spring Creek Major Amendment 400 Feet 1 inch = 400 feet N W E S Item #5 Page 2 Agenda Item 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Centre for Advanced Technology 22nd Filing, Community Horticulture Center Major Amendment (MJA), commonly referred to as the Gardens on Spring Creek, complies with the applicable requirements of the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC), more specifically: • The MJA complies with the Common Development Review Procedures for Development Applications of Article 2 - Administration. • The MJA complies with the relevant standards of the Employment District (E) located in Division 4.27 of Article 4. • The MJA complies with the relevant standards located in Article 3 - General Development Standards. COMMENTS: 1, Summary of Changes since the December 15, 2015 Planning and Zoning Board Hearing: • On February 8, 2016 the City of Fort Collins hosted a neighborhood meeting to discuss ways to address concerns from neighbors in relation to the Garden's development proposal, specifically the increase in capacity of the music venue from 350 to 1500 people. • A meeting summary letter was mailed to all residents within the notification area summarizing the changes described below. A copy of the letter is attached with this staff report. • After the meeting, changes were made to the Operational Standards to further clarify the scope of the facility's use and the management practices for all events. • An additional sound wall was added along the Gardens' western property boundary to further mitigate noise impacts from music concerts as well as events which are already programmed. • A noise monitoring system is now provided for music concerts with a direct override control at the mixing console. Of those that attended the meeting, many expressed a lack of support for the project or have concerns. Staff utilized keypad polling technology and got the following response: QUESTION RESPONSES PERCENTAGE Terrible idea and it should not be built in this location 15 40% 1 am highly concerned about negative impacts to the neighborhood 11 30% 1 am slightly concerned but also support the idea 6 16% 1 can't wait to see the schedule of events 4 11 % Other 1 3% Total 37 100% Item #5 Page 3 Agenda Item 5 The starting point of the conversation for the February 8, 2016 neighborhood meeting was the following list of concerns generated from previous neighborhood meetings: • Noise/Sound • Parking • Trespass/Loitering/Camping • Non-ticketed/Private Events • Port -a -Lets • Alcohol • Enforcement • Flood plain/Environmental Assessment • Other/Grove/Lilac Park Through the polling exercise, noise, parking, enforcement, and trespassing issues were the top concerns of those attending. The following information was presented, and additions have been made, based on comments and questions from the meeting. The mitigation techniques listed below will be incorporated into the Garden's operations in two ways: • As General Standards that will be included with the plan notes presented at the upcoming Planning and Zoning hearing or; • As operating agreements to be finalized with neighbor input. Items where full details are not yet finalized are also noted below. The Gardens Staff is interested in and supports the formation of a Neighborhood Committee to help develop and refine details and processes to limit the impacts to the neighborhood. Concern: Noise and Sound • No more than 8 music concert events per year (to occur between May and September) and to not overlap with other major CSU events. All music concert events shall be ticketed. • Music for all events to end by 8 PM. • Active enforcement and sound level monitoring to occur throughout all music concerts. • Sound enforcement for all events will now be further restricted by measuring the sound levels from the Garden's property line (not the receiving residential property lines further west of the Gardens property). • Sound walls are included in the proposed plan. Wall placement is being reconsidered and adjusted following feedback from the February 8 meeting. Concern: Parking • Parking instructions and options will be provided and included with ticket purchase for all music concert events. • "No public on -street parking" shall be strictly enforced for all music concerts on Centre Avenue and on streets in the Windtrail and Sheely neighborhoods. • Neighborhood parking enforcement will be addressed through a windshield pass system, active barricade, or other agreeable method. Concern: Trespass/Loitering/Camping • Garden gates will open one hour (or time most suitable as determined by Gardens and neighbors) prior to show times to allow ticket holders onto property. • The Gardens will work with the Parks Department, Rangers, Neighborhood Services, and Police Services to address any unlawful and disruptive behaviors either on Gardens property or on adjacent public property. Item #5 Page 4 Agenda Item 5 Concern: Non -ticketed Events, Private Events, and questions regarding unlimited concert events Concerns were expressed that the different types of events need to be better defined in order to provide assurances that music performances with an attendance of 1,500 people will be limited to 8 events per year. In order to provide these assurances staff is considering the following definitions and limitations: • The terms "ticketed events" and "non -ticketed events" are problematic. Concerns were expressed that the term "non -ticketed events" might allow the opportunity for free concerts, such as the City Orchestra or programs such as Bohemian Nights, and therefore the limitation of 8 performances per year could be expanded. To provide assurances that this is not the case, staff proposes a definition of the term "music concert event" to clarify that concerts shall be limited: "There shall be a maximum of (8) music concert events per year with an attendance cap of 1,500 persons. The maximum attendance shall be managed and regulated through ticket sales. All music concert events shall be ticketed." • To further clarify that "non -ticketed events" shall not include large, free concerts, these events can be called "General Events" defined as: "A general event shall be defined as any event which uses all or a portion of the gardens, other than day-to-day attendance for the purpose of viewing the gardens, in which attendance is anticipated to be more than 100 persons for the event." • "General Events" that are already occurring at the Gardens will also be noted. The intent is to fully describe the scope of all events that may occur at the Gardens and to provide further assurances that large free concerts shall not take place. General Events would include: garden of lights tour, school field trips, education programs and tours, articulture/sculpture in the garden, spring plant sale, yoga in the gardens, garden a'fare, nature's harvest fest, halloween enchanted garden. There shall be no attendance cap for general events. Such events may provide amplified music in compliance with the municipal code. • Private events will also be addressed in the plan's operating agreement. Private events include all private rentals such as weddings, birthdays etc. Private events are limited to 350 attendees and they must end by 8PM with everyone off -site by 9PM. Private events may not have DJs and any proposed music must be approved by Gardens staff and is often restricted based on location and type. • The Gardens does not currently, nor do they intend, to allow private concerts onsite. Concern: Port -a -Lets The Gardens will rely on GSI Sanitation recommendations for number of needed Port -a -lets (currently estimated at 5 for a 3-hour event.) • Port -a -Lets will be onsite for as minimal time necessary for vendor schedule. • Port -a -Lets will be ground anchored. • Bike path will not be used or impacted during pick-up or delivery. • The proposed plan does provide space for additional Port -a -Lets should the need arise. Concern: Alcohol and Intoxication The Gardens has no desire to have intoxicated people on -site or on adjacent property. • Alcohol sales could be limited by drink number or by limiting times of sales (i.e. alcohol only available from 5:30-7:30.) Details are not finalized. • Any limitations on alcohol made available will be determined by Gardens with neighbor committee input. • Sales conducted by trained and licensed servers. • No permanent alcohol signage or advertising will be allowed. Item #5 Page 5 Agenda Item 5 Concern: Enforcement • The Gardens is committed to being a good neighbor and to working directly with appropriate enforcement staff to ensure illegal and disruptive behaviors are addressed in a timely manner. • The Gardens supports the creation of a Neighborhood Committee and an Event Hotline. (Details have not been finalized.) At the meeting neighbors continue to express the lack of information and rationale for expanding the amphitheater attendee limit from 350 to 1500. Many expressed a desire to negotiate this number or return it to the 350 originally proposed. Gardens on Spring Staff provided the following information in the letter. The proposed 1500 number is based on: • Size and projected future growth in Fort Collins • Filling a niche venue size that currently does not exist in Fort Collins • Creating a venue that can support desired performances at a $40-$50 ticket price Comments captured at the meeting: • More clarity on tangible mitigation for each subject item. • Preference for a distributed sound system. Concern with loitering/event crashing along Spring Creek Trail and Lilac Park area. • Sound transition and stage orientation unreasonably impacts areas to the SW, in particular 603 Gilgalad Way. • Overall effects of impacts -- in particular, sound levels, number of concert events per year, and the ticketed scope of the venue, seems out of place at this location. i.e., Too much program for the location. • Parking/enforcement for un-ticketed events. • Renters (like the symphony) can't use the venue — counts against 8. • First, I love it. Yay! —Second... In case it hasn't been addressed... is the local mobile network robust enough for the increased usage during events? • 1500 capacity, negotiable? • Do 500 Capacity at Gardens + 1500 where there are TOILETS like the new SE area Park & not next to homes. • No alcohol, only family concerts to promote the love of nature + get families outdoors. • Do non -ticketed events get to have amplified music? • Noise citation— criminal (mandatory court appearance). • How will you stop the additional 1500 spectators from gathering outside the fence line for ticketed concerts • Automated sound control: have the sound level meter directly connected to the sound board. That way any exceedance would be automatically addressed, w/o needing human intervention. • Trash/litter along Spring Creek? • Consider 500 year flood rather than 100; given that 100-yr flood is likely inaccurate due to outdated FEMA regulations. • Outside security/police to monitor safe transit along Spring Creek to Shields to the west and railroad overpass to the east. Essentially Sheely, Gilgalad neighborhoods. • Free/discounted tickets for neighbors? Item #5 Page 6 me Agenda Item 5 2, Background/Approval History: The surroundina zonina and land uses are as follows: Direction Zone District Existing Land Uses North Employment (E) Undeveloped CSU parcel South Employment (E) Child care facility, residential student housing East Employment (E) Offices, including the Natural Resources Research Center (NRRC) West Low Density Residential (R-L) Residential - single-family lots and open space tracts • The property was annexed in September 1965 as part of the 4th College Annexation. • The property was included in the Centre for Advanced Technology Overall Development Plan (ODP) in 1983. At that time, the use for the property was designated as Recreation on the ODP. The ODP was revised in 1985, 1988, 1994, and 1999, all with the same Recreation use designation for the parcel. The ODP was then revised several times from 2002 through 2012. • As the current use was finalized with the approved master plan for the Gardens on Spring Creek facility, the parcel was eventually removed from the Centre for Advanced Technology ODP boundary. • The Gardens on Spring Creek (GSC) facility was approved by a Hearing Officer in 2001 as the Centre for Advanced Technology 22nd Filing Community Horticulture Center. The approved plan includes two primary uses - Community Facility and Neighborhood Park. The park designation applies to portions of the Plan along the Spring Creek Trail, known as Lilac Park. The approved plan includes all of the elements of the GSC facility that currently exist today, including the main facility building and greenhouse/conservatory, themed gardens, parking area, trail alignment and perimeter landscaping. The approved plan also includes several elements to be built with future phase construction, including additional themed gardens, a great lawn, gazebo and bandstand. In conjunction with the great lawn, gazebo and bandstand, the approved plan proposes a maximum of 350 people on -site for amplified music performances and other events. A copy of the current plan is included with this staff report. The amended plans propose to expand the scope of the amplified music performances to accommodate a maximum of 1,500 people. This change in scope triggers a review of the approved plans as a Major Amendment. 3. Compliance with Applicable Employment Standards: The project remains in compliance with all applicable Employment District standards with the following relevant comments provided: A. Section 4.27 - Permitted Uses While the current approval describes the Gardens on Spring Creek facility as a "Community Horticulture Center", the designated permitted use per the Land Use Code (LUC) is community facility. This specific land use designation is listed in Section 4.27(B)(2)(b)(4) of the Employment District as a permitted use subject to Administrative Review with a Hearing Officer. However, effective July 21, 2015, under Ordinance No. 82, 2015, all projects in which the City is the applicant are reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board. The new review process is described in Division 2.17: City Projects. Development projects for which the City is the applicant shall be processed in the manner described in this Land Use Code, as applicable, but shall be subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Board in all instances, despite the fact that certain uses would otherwise have been subject to administrative review. Item #5 Page 7 Agenda Item 5 Additionally, the process may include an Alternate Review as follows: Section 2.2.12 - Step 12: Appeals/Alternate Review (A) Appeals. Appeals of any final decision of a decision maker under this Code shall be only in accordance with Chapter 2, Article Il, Division 3 of the City Code, unless otherwise provided in Divisions 2.3 through 2.11 and 2.16 of this Code. (B) Alternate Review. Despite the foregoing, if the City is the applicant for a development project, there shall be no appeal of any final decision regarding such development project to the City Council. In substitution of an appeal of a development project for which the City is the applicant, the City Council may, by majority vote, as an exercise of its legislative power and in its sole discretion, overturn or modify any final decision regarding such project, by ordinance of the City Council. Any Councilmember may request that the City Council initiate this exercise of legislative power but only if such request is made in writing to the City Clerk within fourteen (14) days of the date of the final decision of the Planning and Zoning Board. City Council shall conduct a hearing prior to the adoption of the ordinance in order to hear public testimony and receive and consider any other public input received by the City Council (whether at or before the hearing) and shall conduct its hearing in the manner customarily employed by the Council for the consideration of legislative matters. When evaluating City projects under alternate review, the City Council may, in its legislative discretion, consider factors in addition to or in substitution of the standards of this Land Use Code. 4. Compliance with Article 3 of the Land Use Code - General Development Standards The project complies with all applicable General Development Standards with the following relevant comments provided: A. Division - 3.2, Site Planning and Design Standards The project plan, as amended, remains in compliance with the standards in this Division of the code, which includes Landscaping and Tree Protection, Access, Circulation and Parking, So/arAccess, Orientation and Shading, Site Lighting, and Trash and Recycling Enclosures. The majority of the site elements that relate to these standards have already been constructed, including the on -site parking lot, main building/conservatory, street trees along Centre Avenue, alignment of the Spring Creek Trail, and perimeter plantings. 1) Section 3.2.4 - Site Lighting. A photometric plan is provided for the additional light fixtures that are included in the amended phases of the facility. The additional lighting provided incorporates down -directional and sharp cut-off fixtures. All lighting complies with the lighting levels and design standards of this section. 2) Section 3.2.2 - Access, Circulation and Parking. The amended plans comply with the minimum parking required by providing off -site parking for events as needed. The minimum parking required is based on the City's standards for Alternative Compliance, and is based on the minimum parking required for the peak demand anticipated at a ticketed performance event, for a maximum of 1,500 people. Parking demand for a 1,500 person event is anticipated to arrive using the following travel modes: • 150 visitors travel to events via bicycle • 50 visitors travel to events via MAX • 1300 visitors travel to events via car w/2 persons per vehicle average. This demand estimate requires total of 650 parking spaces. A total of 700 parking spaces are provided with the plans as follows: • 65 vehicles will utilize the existing Gardens on Spring Creek on -site parking lot, of the 74 spaces available in this parking lot. • 350 vehicles will utilize the NRRC facility parking lot located across Centre Avenue to the east. Item #5 Page 8 Agenda Item 5 • 285 vehicles will utilize the CSU Research Blvd parking Lot, which is located 1,800 feet (.34 miles) along Center Avenue to the south of the Gardens. The applicant's alternative compliance narrative attached with this staff report provides more detail. Staff finds that the off -site parking arrangement provides an adequate solution within acceptable proximity to the facility to accommodate larger planned events. The operational standards provided with the site plan outline the need for traffic control and other measures that will be provided in conjunction with this off -site event parking. B. Division - 3.3 Engineering Standards Utility Plans are provided for the amended project which demonstrate compliance with all City requirements. Site grading and stormwater drainage design are the major focus of these plans. The proposed design and drainage analysis demonstrates that the project complies with the original design from the approved drainage and erosion control report for the project, dated January 31, 2003 and prepared by EDAW, Inc. Portions of the site are in the City floodplain and a Floodplain Use Permit is required, which must show that there will be no rise in the Base Flood Elevation on neighboring properties. • An updated floodplain memo has been attached with this staff report which is provided by the Garden's consulting engineer. The floodplain memo and associated plans must be provided in final form and a Floodplain Use Permit issued prior to construction. A summary of the floodplain requirements outlined in the memo are as follows: • All development activities on all properties located within a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulatory floodplain are subject to the requirements of Chapter 10 of the City Municipal Code. This includes the Gardens on Spring Creek property, which is in the FEMA regulatory 100-year floodplain for Spring Creek. As required by city code, the project's engineer has provided City staff with a detailed floodplain analysis. The analysis must demonstrate that the Garden's proposed improvements will not increase existing flood risk in the area. All new construction of structures as well as filling, excavation, or grading associated with the proposed site work in the floodplain are considered in the analysis. The analysis confirms that: The proposed improvements will not cause a rise in the FEMA Base Flood Elevation (BFE), will not change the boundaries of the FEMA floodplain boundaries, and will not reduce the required regulatory flood storage volume in the area. Compliance with these requirements is achieved through several measures: • All proposed earthwork is balanced so that any proposed raise in grade (fill) is offset by lowering the grade (cut) in other areas of the site. The floodplain model must also be updated to reflect the proposed improvements and show no increase in the Base Flood Elevation. The result of these analyses is called a "No -Rise Certification" which must be provided to the city along with the Floodplain Use Permit. The certification includes required volume calculations for all site elements, including temporary elements. The calculations also take into account proposed plant material. • All new accessory structures must be "flood vented" or elevated above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation (RFPE), which is defined as 12 inches above the base flood elevation (BFE). The RFPE elevation is 4,999.42 feet. The term "flood vented" means that the proposed structures (such as the proposed pergolas), must not be fully enclosed. Examples of open structures in the FEMA floodplain can be found in City Parks such as Edora, Spring Creek, Lee Martinez, and Rolland Moore. These parks have open structures in the flood pla i n/floodway (such as picnic shelters) but not enclosed buildings. Enclosed structures at these parks, such as bathrooms, are outside of the regulatory FEMA floodplain. In addition to flood venting, all permanent features such as the garden's pergolas must be permanently anchored. • Outdoor storage of materials that might float away is prohibited. All outdoor materials will be confined inside latched utility sheds behind the stage and within the Garden's maintenance/service yard buildings, anchored and removed after each event, or will be elevated above regulatory flood levels. Item #5 Page 9 we Agenda Item 5 • The proposed finished elevation of the new stage deck (the lowest floor level of the structure) is 4999.50 feet, above the required flood protection elevation of 4999.42 feet. • The stage structure is elevated above the RFPE through earthwork and terracing with stone walls. Portions of the walls of the stage structure below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation (RFPE) of 4999.42 feet are required to be permanently anchored and constructed of Class 4 and 5 flood resistant materials as defined in FEMA Technical Bulletin 2: Flood Damage -Resistant Materials Requirements and as required per Section 10-39 (5) of the Municipal Code. The stage structure meets these requirements by using a concrete pad on an elevated earthen berm, without any voids or enclosed spaces within the stage area, and by using permanently anchored stone walls surrounding the stage structure to achieve grade transition to the surrounding lawn seating area. C. Section 3.4.1 Natural Habitats and Features The project is located within 500 feet of a number of special features that require protection, including the Spring Creek and associated wetlands, the re-routed Sherwood Lateral ditch and associated wetlands, and a series of small wetlands on the eastern edge of the site. Based on the updated Ecological Characterization Study for the site and the requirements of Section 3.4.1(E), the following Natural Habitat Buffer Zones apply to this project, which have been delineated on the site and landscape plans: • Spring Creek Corridor and wetlands (100 feet) • Sherwood Lateral Ditch and wetlands (50 feet) • Two groups of wetlands on east side of property (50 feet for each wetland area) Section 3.4.1(E) limits the type of development activity that may occur within these buffer zones. As proposed, this project conflicts neither with the intended purpose nor the specific requirements for these buffer zones. While some disturbance will occur within the buffers (e.g., the addition of paths and walkways), these impacts will be adequately mitigated through the restoration of disturbed areas with additional plantings and habitat enhancements throughout the site. D. Municipal Code Chapter 20, Article 11 - Noise. Noise levels from the Gardens on Spring Creek Facility must be below the maximum decibel levels (dBA) at the following adjacent receiving land uses: Low Density Residential District (R-L): 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 55 dBA 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. 50 dBA Employment District (E): 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 70 dBA 8:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. 65 dBA An acoustical model was developed by the applicant's consultant in conjunction with the design of the outdoor stage and great lawn seating area. An updated design narrative provided by the applicant is attached with this staff report. In conjunction with the outdoor stage orientation, a series of sound walls are provided to absorb and diffuse sound from amplified music performances. The design recommends a series of four sound barrier walls, ranging in height between 14 and 19.5 feet above the stage level, with a new sound wall located along the western boundary of the site. The proposal demonstrates that compliance with the maximum permissible noise levels at the receiving land uses can be achieved. 5. Neighborhood Meeting Two City neighborhood meetings were held for the proposed project prior to the December 15, 2015 hearing, with an additional neighborhood meeting held on February 8, 2016. Neighborhood meeting summaries are attached. Item #5 Page 10 •e Agenda Item 5 6. Findings of Fact/Conclusion A.

CO 80522 970.221.6505 970.224.6107 - fax fcgov. com On February 8, 2016 the City of Fort Collins hosted a meeting at the Gardens on Spring Creek to discuss ways to address concerns staff has heard from neighbors in relation to the Garden's development proposal, specifically the increase in capacity of the music venue from 350 to 1500 people. The Planning and Zoning Board originally began their consideration of this proposal at the December 17, 2015 hearing. The Board voted to continue the hearing and is scheduled to further consider this item at their regular hearing on April 7, 2016. All materials from the Board's December 17, 2015 hearing can be found here: http://www.fcgov.com/cityclerk/planning-zoning.php. Materials for the April 7 hearing will also be posted at this link. Of those that attended the meeting, it was clear that many do not support the project at all or have strong concerns. We utilized "clicker" polling technology and got the following response: QUESTION RESPONSES PERCENTAGE Terrible idea and it should not be built in this location 15 40% 1 am highly concerned about negative impacts to the neighborhood 1 1 30% 1 am slightly concerned but also support the idea 6 16% 1 can't wait to see the schedule of events 4 11 % Other 1 3% Tota 1 37 100% The City wanted to acknowledge the feelings amongst neighbors, however, the purpose of the meeting was to propose and discuss actions to address concerns. From a previous meeting with a smaller group of neighbors, staff compiled the following list of concerns: ■ Noise/Sound ■ Parking ■ Trespass/Loitering/Camping ■ Non-ticketed/Private Events ■ Port -a -Lets ■ Alcohol ■ Enforcement ■ Flood plain/Environmental Assessment ■ Other/Grove/Lilac Park 1 93 Fort Collins Through the polling exercise noise, parking, enforcement, and trespassing issues were the top concerns of those in the room. The following information was presented and additions have been made based on comments and questions from the meeting. The mitigations listed below will be incorporated into the Garden's operations in two ways: ■ As General Standards that will be included with the plan notes presented at the upcoming Planning and Zoning meeting or; ■ As operating agreements to be finalized with neighbor input. Items where full details are not yet finalized are also noted below. The City is interested in and supports the formation of a Neighborhood Committee to help develop and refine details and processes to limit the impacts to the neighborhood. An updated draft of the General Standards can be viewed online at the link below, under the "neighborhood meeting" heading for the Gardens, click on "General Notes proposed for the Major Amendment": http://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/aciendas.php Concern: Noise and Sound ■ No more than 8 music concert events per year (to occur between May and September) and to not overlap with other major CSU events. All music concert events shall be ticketed. ■ All music for all events to end by 8 PM. ■ Active enforcement and sound level monitoring to occur throughout all music concerts. ■ Sound enforcement for all events will now be further restricted by measuring the sound levels from the Garden's property line (not the receiving residential property lines further west of the Gardens property) ■ Sound walls included in proposed plan. Wall placement is being reconsidered and adjusted following feedback from February 8 meeting (not yet finalized.) ■ Gardens investigating distributed sound system and a system with a direct override to control the sound board. (Not yet finalized.) This was noted as a strong neighborhood preference. Concern: Parking ■ Parking instructions and options will be provided and included with ticket purchase for all music concert events. ■ "No public on -street parking" shall be strictly enforced for all music concerts on Centre Avenue and on streets in the Windtrail and Sheely neighborhoods. ■ Neighborhood parking enforcement will be addressed through a windshield pass system, active barricade, or other agreeable method. Concern: Trespass/Loitering/Camping ■ Garden gates will open one hour (or time most suitable as determined by Gardens and neighbors) prior to show times to allow ticket holders onto property. ■ The Gardens will work with the Parks department, Rangers, Neighborhood Services, and Police Services to address any unlawful and disruptive behaviors either on Gardens property or on adjacent public property. Concern: Non -ticketed Events, Private Events, and questions regarding unlimited concert events Concerns were expressed that the different types of events need to be better defined in order to provide assurances that music performances with an attendance of 1,500 people will be limited to 8 events per year. In order to provide these assurances staff is considering the following definitions and limitations: Fort Collins ■ The terms "ticketed events" and "non -ticketed events" are problematic. Concerns were expressed that the term "non -ticketed events" might allow the opportunity for free concerts, such as the City Orchestra or programs such as Bohemian Nights, and therefore the limitation of 8 performances per year could be expanded. To provide assurances that this is not the case, staff will propose the term "music concert event" to clarify that concerts shall be limited: "There shall be a maximum of (8) music concert events per year with an attendance cap of 1,500 persons. The maximum attendance shall be managed and regulated through ticket sales. All music concert events shall be ticketed." ■ To further clarify that "non -ticketed events" shall not include large, free concerts, these events can be called "General Events" defined as: "A general event shall be defined as any event which uses all or a portion of the gardens, other than day-to-day attendance for the purpose of viewing the gardens, in which attendance is anticipated to be more than 100 persons for the event." ■ "General Events" that are already occurring at the Gardens will also be noted. The intent is to fully describe the scope of all events that may occur at the Gardens and to provide further assurances that large free concerts shall not take place. General Events would include: garden of lights tour, school field trips, education programs and tours, articulture/sculpture in the garden, spring plant sale, yoga in the gardens, garden a'fare, nature's harvest fest, halloween enchanted garden. There shall be no attendance cap for general events. Such events may provide amplified music in compliance with the municipal code. ■ Private events will also be addressed in the plan's operating agreement. Private events include all private rentals such as weddings, birthdays etc. Private events are limited to 350 attendees and they must end by 8PM with everyone off -site by 9PM. Private events may not have DJs and any proposed music must be approved by Gardens staff and is often restricted based on location and type. The Gardens does not currently, nor do they intend, to allow private concerts onsite. Concern: Port -a -Lets The Gardens will rely on GSI Sanitation recommendations for number of needed Port -a -lets (currently estimated at 5 for a 3-hour event.) ■ Port -a -Lets will be onsite for as minimal time necessary for vendor schedule. ■ Port -a -Lets will be ground anchored. ■ Bike path will not be used or impacted during pick-up or delivery. ■ The proposed plan does provide space for additional Port -a -Lets should the need arise. Concern: Alcohol and Intoxication The Gardens has no desire to have intoxicated people on -site or on adjacent property. ■ Alcohol sales could be limited by drink number or by limiting times of sales (i.e. alcohol only available from 5:30-7:30.) Details are not finalized. ■ Any limitations on alcohol made available will be determined by Gardens with neighbor committee input. ■ Sales conducted by trained and licensed servers. ■ No permanent alcohol signage or advertising will be allowed. 95 Fort Collins Concern: Enforcement ■ The Gardens is committed to being a good neighbor and to working directly with appropriate enforcement staff to ensure illegal and disruptive behaviors are addressed in a timely manner. ■ The Gardens supports the creation of a Neighborhood Committee and an Event Hotline. (Details have not been finalized.) Concern: Floodplain All development activities on all properties located within a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulatory floodplain are subject to the requirements of Chapter 10 of the City Municipal Code. This includes the Gardens on Spring Creek property, which is in the FEMA regulatory 100-year floodplain for Spring Creek. As required by City code, the project's engineer has provided City staff with a detailed floodplain analysis. The analysis must demonstrate that the Garden's proposed improvements will not increase existing flood risk in the area. All new construction of structures as well as filling, excavation, or grading associated with the proposed site work in the floodplain are considered in the analysis. The analysis must confirm that: The proposed improvements will not cause a rise in the FEMA Base Flood Elevation (BFE), will not change the boundaries of the FEMA floodplain boundaries, and will not reduce the required regulatory flood storage volume in the area. Compliance with these requirements is achieved through several measures: ■ All proposed earthwork is balanced so that any proposed raise in grade (fill) is offset by lowering the grade (cut) in other areas of the site. The result is called a "No -Rise Certification" which must be provided to the city along with a Floodplain Use Permit. The certification includes required volume calculations for all site elements, including temporary elements. The calculations also take into account proposed plant material. ■ All new accessory structures, including the proposed stage, must be elevated above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation (RFPE), which is defined as 12 inches above the base flood elevation (BFE), or "flood vented". The RFPE elevation is 4,999.42 feet. The term "flood vented" means that the proposed structures (such as the proposed stage and pergolas), must be open on the sides and not fully enclosed. Examples of open structures in the FEMA floodplain can be found in City Parks such as Edora, Spring Creek, Lee Martinez, and Rolland Moore. These parks have open structures in the floodplain/floodway (such as picnic shelters) but not enclosed buildings. Enclosed structures at these parks, such as bathrooms, are outside of the regulatory FEMA floodplain. In addition to flood venting, all permanent features such as the garden's pergolas must be permanently anchored. There are also restrictions on the types of materials used for structures below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. ■ Outdoor storage of materials that might float away is prohibited. All outdoor materials will be confined inside latched utility sheds behind the stage and within the Garden's maintenance/service yard buildings, anchored and removed after each event, or will be elevated above regulatory flood levels. At the meeting neighbors continue to express the lack of information and rationale for expanding the amphitheater attendee limit from 350 to 1500. Many expressed a desire to negotiate this number or return it to the 350 originally proposed. The proposed 1500 number is based on: ■ Size and projected future growth in Fort Collins ■ Filling a niche venue size that currently does not exist in Fort Collins ■ Creating a venue that can support desired performances at a $40-$50 ticket price ■■ Fort Collins Comments captured at the meeting: ■ More clarity on tangible mitigation for each subject item. ■ Preference for a distributed sound system. Concern with loitering/event crashing along Spring Creek Trail and Lilac Park area. ■ Sound transition and stage orientation unreasonably impacts areas to the SW, in particular 603 Gilgalad Way. ■ Overall effects of impacts -- in particular sound levels, number of concert events per year, and the ticketed scope of the venue, seems out of place at this location. IE: Too much program for the location. ■ Parking/enforcement for un-ticketed events. ■ Renters (like the symphony) can't use the venue — counts against 8. ■ First, I love it. Yay! —Second... In case it hasn't been addressed... is the local mobile network robust enough for the increased usage during events? ■ 1500 CAPACITY NEGOTIABLE? ■ Do 500 Capacity at Gardens + 1500 where there are TOILETS like the new SE area Park & not next to homes. ■ No alcohol, only family concerts to promote the love of nature + get families outdoors. ■ Do non -ticketed events get to have amplified music? ■ NOISE CITATION — CRIMINAL (MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE). ■ How will you stop the additional 1500 spectators from gathering outside the fence line for ticketed concerts ■ Automated sound control: have the sound level meter directly connected to the sound board. That way any exceedance would be automatically addressed, w/o needing human intervention. ■ Trash/litter along Spring Creek? ■ Consider 500 year flood rather than 100; given that 100-yr flood is likely inaccurate due to outdated FEMA regulations. ■ Outside security/police to monitor safe transit along Spring Creek to Shields to the west and railroad overpass to the east. Essentially Sheely, Gilgalad neighborhoods. ■ Free/discounted tickets for neighbors?

As I have property in the area under Willmeyer Properties I would like to express my approval of this project. I think the Gardens are more than adequately addressing the neighborhood concerns. I would expect much less of a disturbance than what the Grove Apartments have done. I rather enjoy hearing music in the distance. It seems like many of the comments are folks trying their hardest to nit-pick just because they can. Sincerely, Elayne Williams i 124 Attachment 9 Jason Holland From: Sent: To: Subject: Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Kate Forgach <kateforgach@icloud.com> Wednesday, March 02, 2016 2:12 PM Jason Holland Re the Gardens at Spring Creek Follow up Flagged Reading through the mass of info sent to Sheely Addition neighbors and having taken my own "click" survey, it's clear we do not want the stage structure at all!!! Yet your notes make it clear you plan only on working to mitigate potential problems. Yet again, our neighborhood is being treated as though we have no rights. We've been trampled upon by massive amounts of construction while CSU continues to push its way into Whitcomb south of Prospect. As far as I'm concerned, the loons have taken over Bedlam and we are paying the highest price. Kate Forgach Writer at Large 970-217-7444 1 125 Gardens on Spring Creek Master Plan Major Amendment Neighborhood Meeting July 24th, 2014 1. Introductions Proposed amendment to original Master Plan 2. Overview of West Central Area Plan (WCAP) also provided: ➢ Overview of WCAP ➢ Council work session August 26th 3.

A: possibility o Programming: Acoustic, adult contemporary Q: Are tickets sold, to limit the number of people? A: Yes 4. Question and answer portion Q: Your sign said + or— 1500, what does this mean? A: Current calculations are based on comfort of square foot per person, so about 15 feet per person Q: Do you think people will sit on the trail, or around my house? A: Security will be on site Q: For how long? A: No answer at this point in time Q: The limit was capped before at 500, why is the cap expanding? A: Another public process is needed to accommodate something of this size. Standard will be enforced. Q: Our property values will go down if we don't have life, liberty and the use of our property. This is the city reviewing the city, and trust is gone. How will the city enforce noise? A: Decibel limits for sound levels are enforced by Neighborhood Services Code Compliance staff Q: Neighborhood Services doesn't show up now. Why will they show up then? A: They respond as they can Q: Why does the city need to be in this business? Why would you dump another problem on our neighborhood? Would you buy my house right next to all of this? None of this matters. What happens when a city blights another neighborhood? Police don't show up when called. A: That is not our intent as a city Q: Is there a limit to weddings and smaller events? K 127 A: Won't be going past 8 pm. Will be within sound limits required by the City of Fort Collins in the municipal code Q: Where do you measure these lines? A: property lines with a decibel meter C: Measure of decibels: 90, which is like a diesel truck 10 m away C: The sound models proposed must be false (before sound mitigation walls) because the sound on my porch from a wedding reception this past weekend was much louder than your saying it will be. A: We will be moving away from the wedding reception venue, and more of a wedding ceremony event A: Alternative sound options when moving the stage is the same amount of decibels in an average household (50 -55 decibels) A: Grove of trees around the wall sound barriers will begin at 15 feet, stucco and transparent on top, surround the walls with Evergreen trees Q: Why are the walls so close to the houses? A: There is plenty of room between the house and the wall Q: Is topography accounted for here? A: Floodplain technology used to account for that C: The wall is an eyesore and it right up against our houses. The wall will have too much graffiti. A: Conifers will cover the wall C: Conifers need space, they will die A: What about vine covered walls? C: They take too long to grow over a wall C: You put the stage so close to the houses. Move Spring Creek Trail to move the stage away from neighborhoods A: This is the already approved framework Q: Why go back to the Master Plan when you're trying to modify Master Plan? A: We are trying to make the Master Plan a reality C: This is not implementing the Master Plan when you add 1000 people on top of the 500 originally stated in the Master Plan Q: Can the fence be moved? Q: Is revenue not decent enough for the city right now? A: We are trying to be a more self-sustaining 9 128 C: If you can't support yourself, tax us more A: That is not my call Q: Increasing number of attendees... will this help your business problem? A: Admission revenues, donations, and grants Q: Where did the 1500 people come from? Why 1500 of all numbers? A: Quality acts to charge admission for, and people in the industry tell me this is the game changer number C: Chataqua in Boulder seats 1300, and this is larger than Chataqua A: I was not aware of that, I will look into that Q: Has this money already been allocated? A: No, we are in the process of getting donations Q: What is the offer? A: 2.5 million in total. Comprehensive capital campaign is in order. Building is 3 million and gardens are 2.5 million. We will raise 5.5 million and receive a $500,000 endowment Q: So this is under Bob 2 in the BFO? A: Yes, we don't have the BFO numbers for this project yet, but we proposed 2 million Q: Are you asking for additional revenue from the city? A: We will be operating and supporting ourselves Q: Is providing financial models part of the review process? A: I don't know, I will look into it Q: Will the 1500 be coming all at one time? A: All attendance numbers are tracked Q: How does Lincoln Center get involved? A: They handle getting the performers involved Q: Our neighborhood does not have a pocket park. There's no place for kids to play. What do you think Ted? A: Ted Shepard: Parks and Rec won't replicate services so close to Rolland Moore. I understand the concern, we don't have an answer. Q: Are there places around here where a playground could go? A: Currently not supporting pocket parks of the original plan in the Master Plan rd 129 Q: Flood plain issue, where the stage might sit in terms of flood plain. Our neighborhood was adversely affected by the Grove by the changes in flood plain. A: We have been working with flood plain folks. Great Lawn acts as a basin for flood control Q: What's the surface of the bike parking area? Will there be bike racks? A: The bike parking area will be a permeable surface or permeable pavers. This will be permanent bike parking. Q: Concern about parking —only 66 guaranteed spots, but 1500 people coming in, is this a concern? A: Synergistic relationship between shared parking facilities, plus connections to MAX and bike parking Q: What is break down time like for performances? A: By 9:00 everyone would be gone including performers and stray folks after concerts Q: Lighting impacts? A: Small ball lighting in the ground Q: Lighting around bike parking? A: We haven't submitted anything yet Q: Will the walls impact flood plain? A: That shouldn't be an issue Q: Are there any plans for all day festival events? A: No Q: Will people begin to park on our street? A: Permits can be issued Q: Gardens of Spring Creek is a failed operation. You are not paying interest. At what point do you say this doesn't make any sense? Yes it's beautiful, but this is not botanical A: This is very botanical Q: What are all of your revenue streams? A: Charge admission, museum memberships, education programs, increasing attendance in general with 60,000 residents last year with only half the facility completed, donations, and an annual campaign. Essentially anyway a non-profit supports themselves is what we are doing I✓ 130 Q: What other avenues have you explored to obtain the same objective other than an event venue? A: Other smaller options, but the Great Lawn is the fundraising magnet Q: We need this place to raise money? A: Encompassed by surrounding garden open 365 days per year which will bring in revenue as well Q: Can we stick with the original 500 as stated in the Master Plan? A: There wasn't a lot of original thought in that number. This all depends on the types of performers we are going to showcase. The types of performances we will have will have larger crowds than 500 people Q: Do they have police for trails in Boulder? A: Yes Q: I can envision trash in my yard, but your responsibility ends at your fence lane. So that's alright, but then we would have to call the police which is another responsive issue. They are slow to respond if they respond at all A: We are trying to build in regulations to avoid creep in the future Q: Timing of this and public input in front of City council ... what is this timeline? A: Public meetings will occur where all of you will be invited Q: When will ground be broken to begin this project? A: Spring of 2015 Q: Is private fundraising dependent on the whole package? A: Assumption we would have to raise 5.5 million dollars (Spring Creek representatives) Q: Is this a Type 1 review, requiring an administrative hearing officer? A: Cameron Gloss: Yes Q: Why is this Type 1? Is it listed as a Type 1 review use? A: Cameron Gloss: It's based on the original approval. Increasing number of people from the Master Plan constitutes a Type 1 hearing and major amendment. Q: When will there be further detail in the progress of the plan? A: In the coming months. Is there anything to be done to generally help with your concern? 11 131 C: move the Great Lawn further away from homes C: We don't want the dense forest with no lighting near the wall Q: Has this facility seen more traffic from the Grove? A: More kids at the bus stops, many coming in to volunteer but no significant increase in traffic. Q: What do you foresee as the demographics who would be interested in this kind of music? A: Middle aged 7 132 Gardens on Spring Creek Master Plan Major Amendment Neighborhood Meeting #2 September 8, 2014 Project Applicants: • Consultants: Craig Russell and John Beggs of Russell + Mills Studios • Michelle Provaznik, Gardens on Spring Creek Manager Questions and answers: Q: Question; A: Answer; C: Comment (Unless noted, answers provided are from the applicants) Q: Where does Lilac Park go? A: We're having discussions with Park Planning. We want to create an expression of a neighborhood pocket park and it would likely be more linear along the creek. Q: Won't developing Lilac Park mean more people hanging out at Lilac Park during concerts? A: There would be a separate planning and design process for Lilac Park. C: Concern was expressed that reconfiguring Lilac Park would sacrifice the wildlife corridor for the benefit of an event venue. Q: The Employment zone doesn't allow for this as a permitted use. Starting at a macro level — the amphitheater use is not permitted in the Employment zone district. Does this zone allow for an amphitheater? A: (City staff) Staff looked at the use when this question came up after the first neighborhood meeting. The current use listed on the plan is a neighborhood park. The closest appropriate use for the whole center is a Community Facility, and the amphitheater would be permitted as part of the facility. C: If it's a community facility, it has to be open to the community. This would be walled off and there would be an entrance fee — the definition of a community facility does not speak to that. Q: Concerns with ability of pedestrians to cross Center Avenue. Will there be a signal/light at grade crossing? A: Don't know yet, the City's traffic review might address this once the project is submitted for staff review. Q: Are the Gardens on Spring Creek a part of the Park Department? Is this proposal from them? A: It is a facility within the Parks Department and owned by them. it 133 C: Why would Parks Department pick a small site for an amphitheater? I don't remember an amphitheater being a part of the mission/vision of the Gardens. The original approval was for 300 people, this is over 800% bigger. There are also already more than 6-8 events and they run later than 8 p.m. A: We would end the performance music at 8 p.m. and these events would be done by 8:30. Q: Will alcohol be served? A: Still undecided. May be served, cannot be sold. C: We want to see the Garden's budget, rate of return, etc. We want to see the numbers. We're worried that there will be a ton of events to make it work financially. A: We're offering to cap the performance events. C: Concern that fire truck/emergency vehicles can't get to great lawn. A: (City staff) Poudre Fire Authority will be reviewing the access if the formal submittal comes in for review. Q: The original plan projected sound away from the residents. Why does this not need to go to the Planning and Zoning Board? A: (City staff) It's based on the original approval. Because the original approval was approved by a hearing officer, the major amendment also is reviewed by a hearing officer. Q: An appeal stills goes to City Council even if it's not a Planning and Zoning Board project? A: (City staff) Yes, and appeal of a hearing officer would go to City Council, same as if the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the project. Q: How will events be counted? A: All performances would be hosted by the Gardens through the Lincoln Center, and we would be able to count and schedule the number of events. C: Concern with a multi -day event only being counted as one event. A: There would not be any multi -day performance events. Q: Will there still be wildlife corridors? A: (City staff) There is still a buffer requirement along the Spring Creek corridor and the Gardens would be required to provide an ecological study that staff will review with their formal submittal. Q: Will there be sound mitigation between the crowd and the residents? A: Yes, the sound walls are intended to buffer crowd noise and the music. (Applicant continues presentation showing where the proposed walls are located) Q: What is the size of the walls and what will they look like? N 134 Craig Russell continues the presentation showing the proposed wall design and buffer landscaping. Q: How do they know there won't be more or longer events? What happens if they don't follow it? A: (City staff) They would need to incorporate notes/requirements into the plans with a much tighter approval document. The enforcement would be through City zoning. C: An event needs to be defined as one day, not multi -day. You should also include the max number of events per calendar year. A: (Applicant) All events will be ticketed and we can control the timing of the events. Q: How will security work and how far along trail will security be placed? Already concerns now, will be worse with 1,500 people dispersing. A: This could be provided by off -duty police and park rangers. It's unclear what a reasonable distance would be. Security would make sure artists end on time. C: This will be primarily foot and bike traffic, 1,500 people through the neighborhoods, concerned if people linger after an event is over. Q: Can there be additional lighting along the trail? A: There will be some additional lighting within the grounds but not more along the trail due to Parks Department policy on trail lighting. Q: How did you decide on 1,500 people for an event? A: Lincoln Center staff has advised that in order to get high quality ticketed events, this is the number to make it work. C: Need to make sure it's clear that this proposal is bigger than the Lincoln Center venue. Craig Russell continues with a presentation of the revised master plan and sound level exhibits, and an outline of the proposed event restrictions that will be in perpetuity with the project. Q: The music already seems over the allowable noise level. I can hear it in my basement. What about when you include the crowd noise? That will push the noise levels louder. A: Crowd noise is factored into the sound models. Q: In "perpetuity" in the notes, what does that mean? When can it be changed? A: (City Staff) There's no guarantee that a plan will not change and will remain the same "in perpetuity". If they proposed a change, it would need to go through a review process and new public hearing for any major change. C: More concerns were expressed about how to enforce the plan and how to enforce conditions written on the plan. 91 135 Q: Would this be viable with a smaller venue (less than 1,500 people)? A: We don't think so, and the event stage is pretty common with other botanical gardens around the country. C: More concerns were expressed about the frequency of the events, and that 8 events per season could be more than 2 events per month. Concerns were expressed that 8 events seem like a lot for the surrounding neighborhoods. C: Concerns were expressed about how loud 1,500 people would be before, after and during the performance and the role alcohol would play in increasing the crowd noise. Q: How can sound walls be put into the flood plain? What would happen if it flooded like in 1997? A: The stage and lawn area is part of the flood storage zone, not the conveyance zone. Also all of the removable structures must be cabled down. Q: Why do the Gardens need to be self-sustaining? Other City services are not. A: We are currently 50% self -funded. Q: What about lowering the stage and lawn seating and putting it into a bowl? A: We have lowered it about 3 feet, but there are ground water issues with lowering it further. Q: What is the effect on noise levels if the sound wall and stage / lawn are moved further east? A: The sound model shows only a small reduction in the sounds levels if the venue is moved east. C: The property line is not the correct line where the sound levels should be measured. This should be the HOA line further east. C: Other alternatives should be explored to generate revenue other than the performance venue. Q: Will the mission / vision of the gardens be re -done? The venue seems to be a change philosophically. With no more questions, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:15 p.m. w 136 F6rt of Gardens on Spring Creek Major Amendment Planning and Zoning Board Continued Hearing April 7, 2016 Summary of Neighborhood Concerns and Plan Changes: Neighborhood Addressed in Proposed Plans Addressed by Gardens Staff Concern and Notes See plan notes (Attachment 6, Sheet LS003 ) General Standards Addressed in plans and notes: Addressed by Gardens Staff: to address Event • All events must meet City code: • All Music Concerts to occur Sound and Scope 55 dB(A): 7 a.m. to 8 between May and September. p.m. 50 dB(A): 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. • Music Concerts will be coordinated What's Changed on the and not overlap with major CSU plan: • No more than 8 Music Concerts per events. year. ➢ Garden's property line to the west now •Attendance cap of 1,500 persons at included in music concerts. enforcement of sound .
