EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Fort Collins conducted a Request for Proposal ("RFP") process that requested
proposals for the development of a portion of Block 33 in accordance with adopted City plans.
The property included in this RFP was 75% of the block, excluding the Car Barn and associated
parking. Through this process, the City selected Coburn's firm to complete the requested work
in the RFP. At that time, the City and Coburn entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement.
The goal for this project is for Coburn to eventually acquire the property from the City and
develop it in accordance with the approved plans.
Coburn has done a preliminary design for the property and is proceeding into conceptual review.
In order for Coburn to continue its work, the firm needs to have permission from the City to
access the property and to perform due diligence work on the property including surveying and
geotechnical drilling. They will also need on-going access to the site as the project develops.
Issuing this Permit allows Coburn to continue the work as required by the Exclusive Negotiating
Agreement for the property on Block 33. This Permit is not intended to include construction
activities.
