Zoning and Analysis
1
The applicant,the City of Fort Collins,filed a rezoning petition on August 13, 1999. The applicant
is requesting a rezoning from POL-Public Open Lands to CCR-Community Commercial,Poudre
River District.
The property was zoned in 1997 as POL in error as part of the city wide update of the zoning map
in conjunction with the adoption of the new Land Use Code. The existing site is partially publicly
owned, and partially privately owned. The privately owned portion of the site cannot be POL by
definition. The portion of the site which is publically owned specifically has no community-wide
emphasis that would warrant it to be included in theiPOL zone. There are numerous uses permitted
in this District, subject to administrative review or review by the Planning and Zoning Board.
Rezoning the property to CCR would extend the CCR district that exists to the north. The current
land use and ownership of the site are consistent with the purposes of the CCR zoning district. The
proposed zoning is also consistent with the City's adopted Structure Plan, a part of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The property is currently not in the Residential Neighborhood Sign District, and staff does not
recommend any change to this status.
