BACKGROUND
OVERVIEW OF THE SOUTH COLLEGE CORRIDOR PLAN
(Item A—Resolution 2009-024 ing tSouth ollege��A� dor Plan as an Element of the
Comprehensive Plan of the City .21
The South College Corridor Plan was initiated in 2007 at the direction of City Council during the
Southwest Enclave Annexation process. The study area includes only the commercial and primarily
vacant lands along South College Avenue between Harmony and Carpenter roads. Neighborhoods
were not included in the study area because no changes were contemplated for those areas;however,
neighborhood residents were closely involved in the planning process and the SCCP goals,policies
and actions reflect the input of many participants including residents.
The South College Corridor Plan provides a specific vision and policy framework for commercial
areas and undeveloped land,transportation system,appearance and design,community partnerships
and natural resources of the Corridor. The primary objective is to tailor City Plan(2004)principles
and policies to the specific circumstances of this area.If adopted,the SCCP will become an element
of City Plan.
The SCCP itself is divided into chapters covering the following topics:
• Citizen Summary
• Chapter 1 - Plan Foundations
• Chapter 2 - Existing Conditions and Issues
• Chapter 3 - Vision
• Chapter 4 - Framework Plan, Goals, and Policies
• Chapter 5 —Implementation
• Appendices
March 3, 2009 -3- Item No. 18 A-F
The draft SCCP document contains several sections in the Vision, Goals and Policies that were
changed to respond to City board comments in January. These changed sections are on pages 36,
38, 46 and 49 and highlighted with underlining (additions) and strikeout(deletions).
Presented below is a brief summ�the cconte is yof each c apt
Chapter I -Plan Foundations UI
The Plan Foundations sets the context for the South College Corridor Plan. It describes the purpose
of the SCCP and related planning documents.
One important related plan is the South College Avenue (US 287) Access Control Plan Update
Report (ACP). The ACP, which was approved by the City Council, Colorado Department of
Transportation and Larimer County in 2002, describes specific transportation improvements along
the Corridor. The SCCP provides a brief overview of the ACP in the Plan Foundations chapter. The
SCCP supports the improvements contained within the ACP, and recommends that the City and
CDOT work closely with property and business owners when specific improvements are initiated.
Chapter 2-Existing Conditions and Issues
The second chapter lays the foundation fonthe=S�CC-P�by`descc\ibingicharacteristics and issues of the
study area related to land use/business jactivity, transportation system, appearance and design,
community partnerships, financing and utilities.`
Chapter 3-Vision
The Vision chapter includes the following vision statement: "South College will evolve over time
as a healthy business district to become a clearly recognizable part of Fort Collins with upgrades to
streetscapes and buildings, new uses that support neighborhoods and the Mason Corridor, stronger
multi-modal connections, and active civic partnerships." The fundamental direction is for the
Corridor to include some of the basic urban elements which are missing today. The Vision chapter
addresses the issues listed in the previous Issues chapter, with accompanying concept sketches and
photos.
Chapter 4-Framework Plan, Goals, and Policies
The statements in the Framework Plan,Goals,and Policies chapter are intended to organize, guide,
and stimulate efforts to implement4helvision=nd address-the-identified issues.
The Framework Plan map illus'tr'ates thelg'eneral�r 'fd land use and transportation network for
development and redevelopment projects`iii.the South.CollegerCorridor, consistent with the vision
and goals. Its land use pattern is a guide for zoning regulations; and its transportation network
accommodates related transportation plans (namely the Master Street Plan) as well as
recommending a new off-street trail network.
The Framework Plan map includes several changes to the current land use designations provided
in the City Structure Plan.
March 3, 2009 -4- Item No. 18 A-F
A notable highlight of the Framework Plan is its identification of a distinct gateway concept for
currently undeveloped land around the South College Avenue/Carpenter Road intersection. The
gateway designation(called the South College Gateway Area)provides for a striking impression of
the southern entry into Fort Collins-,with concepts for-aspecial-streetscape and architectural design.
The Framework Plan chapter also includes goals that are categorized to correspond to the facets of
the Vision and include supplemental:clarifi'cation of the Framework Plan. The goals areas follows:
Land Uses & Business Activity
• Retain the eclectic business mix while supporting new uses that strengthen the South
College market.
• Encourage neighborhood serving retail and commercial uses in locations convenient
to adjacent neighborhoods.
• Capitalize on Mason Corridor and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
opportunities.
A Complete Transportation System
• Improve traffic safety along the highway for all users.
• Create a complete-street network of l ocall nd�coll�for roads.
• Make walking and biking practical and enjoyablemethods to access and traverse the
Corridor. )� 11
Strengthen the existing transit.network and support the expansion of regional and
local transit links.
Community Appearance & Design
• South College's image will evolve from a highway defined by heavy vehicle traffic
to a healthy business district defined by retail activity.
• Create new public spaces.
• Create a sense of arrival into the community.
Community Partnerships & Financing
• Increase collaboration and mutual understanding between Corridor business owners,
property owners, and residents.
• Leverage and st mulateiinvestment-with-infrastructure projects.
, U �_ Y
Natural Resources & Drainagew�ays
• Natural resources within and adjacent to the South College Corridor will be protected
and enhanced to the maximum extent feasible.
• Solve drainage system needs to allow street and development projects while
maintaining natural drainageways.
March 3, 2009 -5- Item No. 18 A-F
Chapter 5—Implementation
The final chapter, Implementation, is intended to provide detail on how the Framework Plan and
vision,goals and policies would be:accomplished. Eight strategthat would do the most to further
the SCCP are described in det \\as fo
m llows: l� [p,
Strategy 1: Foster Comumty,Partnerships
• Strategy 2: Provide Opportunities for Business Expansion
• Strategy 3: Coordinate the Implementation of Transportation Improvements
• Strategy 4: Develop Public Funding Strategy for Capital Improvements
• Strategy 5: Create Gateway at South College and Carpenter
• Strategy 6: Improve Neighborhood Shopping Opportunities
• Strategy 7: Develop the Recommended Trails
• Strategy 8: MAX Bus Rapid Transit and Transit Oriented Development on the Mason
Corridor
Other actions, along with responsible partners and the timeframe for implementation, are listed in
an implementation table.
Public Process
�r �
The public process for the South College Corridor Pla was extensive. The SCCP goals,policies,
strategies and maps are a reflection of tthat,eexxtt�iv�put. Public participation activities included:
• six public meetings,with mail and email announcements to properties and businesses within
the Corridor and to residences in neighborhoods adjacent to the Corridor
• business forum, April 2008
• meetings with individual stakeholders throughout the planning process
• 2,200 piece survey to households and businesses
• website
• three project newsletters sent to businesses, property owners and residents
• monthly Planning and Zoning Board updates
• Transportation, Land Conservation Stewardship,and Parks and Recreation Board meetings
in January 2009
• Planning and Zoning Board Hearing on January 15, 2009
City boards supported adoption of the South College Corridor Plan. The Planning and Zoning
Board, Land Conservation Stewardship Board, and�T`ansportation Board voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the SCCP. The Parks and Recreation opted not to vote on the SCCP.
See Attachment 1 for minutes of these Board S.
PROPOSED CHANGES TO CITY STRUCTURE PLAN
(Item B —Resolution 2009-025 Amending the City Structure Plan Map to Comport with the
South College Corridor Plan)
The vision for the Corridor provides for a broad mix of commercial uses, new neighborhood
shopping opportunities, and housing. The Framework Plan supports the vision by identifying
March 3, 2009 -6- Item No. 18 A-F
several areas for change. The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously in favor of the
changes.
Attachment 2 shows the existing=C•ity Structure Plan. Attachment 3 shows the proposed City
Structure Plan,with letters"A"through"E"corresponding td the recommended changes described
below. �
Area A: Change Commercial Corridor District to a combination of Medium Density
Mixed-Use Neighborhood and Open Lands, Parks, Stream Corridors
This undeveloped 29-acre area has significant development constraints, including sloping
topography and several important natural features including a unique rock outcropping,and riparian
habitats near Fossil Creek.
A Commercial Corridor District, which is the current City Structure Plan designation, are
described in City Plan as a place that "include[s] a wide range of community and regional retail
uses, as well as offices, business, and personal services, and to a lesser extent, residential
uses...typically the location of highway businesses and auto-related uses...convenient
access...accessible by all modes of travel." The proposed Medium Density Mixed-Use
Neighborhood designation is described as a "place for denser attached, small-lot, and multiple-
family housing built around a Neighborhood-Commercial Center,Community Commercial District,
•// `\ I I V` \`
Employment District, or an Industrial District. Secondarily,these neighborhoods may also contain
11 1' 1. ' 1 F- , `.V/
other moderate intensity uses which c help to form a transition and a link between surrounding
Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhoods and the commercial.area."
The South College Corridor Plan envisions new residential development occurring on vacant or
underutilized lands to increase market support for neighborhood-serving retail uses; and Area A
offers a good opportunity to achieve this, to accommodate the vested multi-family project, and to
provide other secondary uses to form a transition between the Skyview subdivision and commercial
uses along South College Avenue.
Area B: Change Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood to Commercial Corridor
District
Area B is a vacant, 19-acre property.adjacent to the South 13 subdivision and the Huntington Hills
and Fossil Creek Meadows neighborhoods. The South 13 subdivision is made up of an eclectic mix
of service commercial and industrial enterprises, such as warehouses, auto body shops, small
appliance repair, sign shops, anI/d,off ces.
ED
The Plan envisions business diversity withg service commercial and retail uses encouraged
to remain,expand and reinvest in buildings�`and�piopelrty.There.are a limited number of areas within
Fort Collins where these kinds of commercial and small industrial uses can locate, and Area B
would provide one such location in keeping with the context and SCCP vision.
Area C: Change Urban Estate Neighborhood to Commercial Corridor District
This vacant, 6.4 acre area is adjacent to commercial land uses to the west and north,the Prairie Dog
Meadows Natural area to the south, and a private school to the east. Many of the businesses along
March 3, 2009 -7- Item No. 18 A-F
the Kel-Mar Strip have outdoor storage and vehicle loading/unloading abutting and/or directly
visible from the site. Access to the site would need to come from a new collector (Aran Street)
behind the Kel-Mar Strip in the location of an existing alley.
The existing Urban Estate designa" tionl which is almost exclusively residential,may not be the best
fit for these properties due to t1le�etting Arid visual character of the area. The change would provide
additional flexibility to add new•non-residentidFlaAuses, offering ring another location to achieve the
vision of supporting new uses that strengthen the South College market.
Area D: Change Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood to Commercial Corridor
District
This 9.6 acre site at the southwest corner of Trilby and College contains four properties currently
consisting of a veterinary clinic, various construction-related companies and offices, a landscape
supply yard, and a single-family house. The vision is to acknowledge and encourage expansion or
reinvestment related to existing development, These properties offer an opportunity to provide an
appropriate transition between the highway and residential neighborhoods to the west and south.
Area E: Change Urban Estate Neighborhood to Commercial Corridor District
This mostly vacant, 7.3 acre area.is-situated=within-the=South-College Gateway Area. It is currently
outside city limits. The vision for the gateway is:a distinctive enttry into Fort Collins defined by the
relationship of buildings to the�treet anWthe attenti;o to o detail in the right-of-way. Together with
development of the Neighborhood.Comme cial�District(N-C)�along the west side of College,these
properties would provide an opportunity to create a unique, high quality entry.
The concept of the gateway is reinforced by City Plan Policy CAD-2.3 Entryways, which states,
"Community entryways will be enhanced and accentuated at key entry points to the City including
interstate interchange areas, and other major arterial streets leading into the City."
The site is not well suited to single-family residential,as it at the intersection of two major arterials.
The designation would be appropriate as a transition between residential properties in the Victoria
Estates subdivision, the highway, and existing and future commercial to the south and west.
Minor changes to the City Structure Plan map
Four areas are proposed for minor changes to the City Structure Plan map. They are considered
minor because they fix minor inconsistencies°with•actual conditions-in specific locations. The four
are briefly described below: �( , �( � �„ ;. Y
• Replace Open Lands, Parks,Stream'Corridors•with Commercial Corridor District south of
Harmony Road between the UPRR and South College Avenue: No stream corridor exists;
the property is occupied by the Arbor Plaza shopping center.
• Replace Open Lands, Parks, Stream Corridors with Commercial Corridor District on the
Discount Tire property at College Avenue/Fossil Creek Parkway: This is a commercial
property.
• Replace Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood with Commercial Corridor District on the
west side of College north of Skyway: These properties are commercial.
March 3, 2009 -8- Item No. 18 A-F
• Replace Urban Estate Neighborhood with Commercial Corridor District on the east side of
College south of Trilby: These properties currently are commercial.
PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE-LAND-USE-
O,
(Item C — Ordinance No. 0(8, 2 09; (,Amending'the Lad Use Code for the Purpose of
Implementing the South College,Gorrid'o&Plan)-. JLL
Two proposed revisions to the Land Use Code are recommended to implement the South College
Corridor Plan, as follows:
• Add a new Division 3.11 - Development Standards for the South College Gateway and
amend related Divisions 4.23 N-C and 4.24 C-L, and 5.1.2 Definitions.
• Amend and rename Division 4.22 Commercial North College District(C-N)to Division 4.22
Commercial Service (C-S).
In addition, a Code change that was not recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning
Board has been withdrawn by staff. That was a very specific proposal to amend the M-M-N
District, Division 4.6 (D) (4) Secondary Uses, to exempt a site specified in the South College
Corridor Plan from the15% limitation on secondary uses.
These three items are explainedFuurtthhe�r below. TD
Proposed New Division 3.11 Development=Standards forthe South College Gateway
City Plan goals call for edges that are clearly defined to help distinguish between what is city and
what is not. Given that parcels on the northwest and northeast sides of the College/Carpenter Road
intersection are vacant,an opportunity exists to implement an edge that would better define the entry
into Fort Collins. Defining a gateway is integral with the proposed Ciry Structure Plan amendment
to change the northeast corner of the intersection of College and Carpenter Roads from Urban Estate
to Commercial Corridor (Limited Commercial), which would allow for commercial development
that could create the gateway as envisioned.
The gateway development standards consist of setbacks, landscaping, building placement, and
architectural design. The standards would apply to new development on both sides of South College
Avenue extending approximately 1000 feet north of Carpenter Road.
Two related changes include amending divisions 4:23=N-C7and 4-24 C-L districts to reference the
new Section 3.11 Development Standards for the South Col'legerGateway and amending Division
5.1.2 Definitions to add a definition of the South,College Gateway Area with a map.
Proposed amendment renaming Division 4.22 Commercial - North College District (C-N) to
Division 4.22 Commercial Service (C-S).
The South 13 Subdivision is located south of Fossil Creek Parkway and the Fossil Creek Meadows
subdivision on the east side of South College Avenue. The area contains a variety of commercial
and light industrial uses,including numerous warehouses,storage yards,appliance repair companies,
auto body shops, offices, and an indoor recreation facility. This area was annexed along with the
March 3, 2009 -9- Item No. 18 A-F
rest of the South College Corridor frontage in 2006 as part of the Southwest Enclave Annexation,
and was zoned Commercial.
The vision for this area in thelSou`h College Corr-id,r�PClan7 s• to maintain and expand the
opportunities for these types of uses. The zoneVi %stric9that appears most appropriate for this type
of land use activity is the Commercial-North College'(C=N)zone but the C-N zone would need some
minor revisions to allow its application twany areas other than North College.
Staff is recommending the new name"Service Commercial". By amending the C-N District,a new
zone district would not need to be created just for this particular area.
Explanation of withdrawn Land Use Code change to exempt an M-M-N site specified in the
South College Corridor Plan from the 15% limitation on secondary uses
Staff proposed a change to Land Use Code Division 4.6 (D) (4)which limits secondary uses in the
Medium-Density Mixed Use Neighborhood District(M-M-N)to the Planning and Zoning Board.
The M-M-N District identifies residential uses,parks and community facilities as primary uses. All
other uses are considered secondary uses and are limited tol5% of the total gross area of a
development plan containing 10 or more acres. The purpose is to emphasize residential uses while
allowing certain mixed uses in the zone district.
A policy in the South College Corridor P11lan calls fo}r aan'exemption to the limitation on secondary
uses for the privately-owned area west ofSouth College Avenue;Ibetween Retail Grove Natural Area
and Crestridge Drive(also knowirms-tHe Vineyard Cllurch/Wderstone site). This recommendation
was based on the site's unusual topographical and natural resource constraints and better consistency
with City Plan goals. Staff proposed that the Code be amended to implement the exemption.
The Planning and Zoning Board voted 4-3 against the change. The Board did not disagree with
allowing secondary uses to occupy more than 15% of the site, but felt that the Land Use Code
should not be amended to provide the exemption. The Board recommended that if the exception
proved to be needed in the future, the way to implement the SCCP recommendation would be for
the developer to seek a modification of the Code standard as part of a Project Development Plan.
Staff is comfortable with this direction and is no longer proposing the amendment to Division 4.6.

Land Use Code Requirements for Rezoning
The regulations covering rezonings in the City of Fort Collins are contained in Division 2.9 of the
Land Use Code. Section 2.9.4 (H) indicates the following:
(2) Mandatory Requirements for Quasi-judicial Zonings or Rezonings. Any amendment
to the Zoning Map involving the zoning or rezoning of six hundred forty(640)acres of land
or less (a quasi-judicial rezoning) shall be recommended for approval by the Planning and
Zoning Board or approved by the City Council only if the proposed amendment is:
(a) consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; and/or
(b) warranted.by=changed=conditions within the,neighborhood surrounding and
includi��he subject prope i
(3) Additional Consi\derations`I\for=Q/uJasr-Judicial Zonings or Rezonings. In determining
whether to recommend approval of any such proposed amendment,the Planning and Zoning
Board and City Council may consider the following additional factors:
(a) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is compatible with
existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land and is the
appropriate zone district for the land;
(b) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in
significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment, including but not
limited to water, air, noise, stormwater management, wildlife, vegetation,
wetlands and the natural functioning of the environment;
(c) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in a
logical and orderly development pattern.
Justification for the proposed rezonings
��'�� �
These rezoning requests are bein�derin Copp nc"tioii�wrthvh doption hearing on the South
College Corridor Plan to help`mplement visi n land goals along with the related changes to the
City Structure Plan. The justification for�the rezonings matches the justification for the City
Structure Plan changes, and is contained within the South College Corridor Plan, specifically the
Framework Plan map which shows the subject areas and their new land use designations.
Consistency with City Plan, the City's Comprehensive Plan
As indicated above,any request to rezone less than 640 acres is considered a quasi-judicial rezoning
and the first "criterion" for approving the request is consistency with the City's Comprehensive
March 3, 2009 -11- Item No. 18 A-F
Plan. The main consideration in this regard is the City Structure Plan map,which sets the basic land
use framework showing how Fort Collins should grow and evolve. Since the City Structure Plan
map is proposed for amendment as part of the South College Corridor Plan implementation, the
proposed rezonings are a consistent pV ofthesame package-
t
Findings of Fact
.. IC
In evaluating the request for rezoning, staff makes the following findings of fact:
• Retail Grove Natural Area(southern parcel):Community Commercial(GC)to Public Open
Lands (P-O-L)—4.7 acres
The City Structure Plan designates this site as Open Lands,Parks and Stream Corridors. The South
College Corridor Plan and its Framework Plan designate this site as Public Open Lands. The
rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan with the adoption of the SCCP as an
element of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
• Area Al: Community Commercial (C-C) to Medium Density Mixed-Use (M-M-N) — 28
acres
The South College Corridor Plan-and its Framewo angdesignate this area as Medium Density
Mixed-Use Neighborhood (M-M-N) with an excep lon io the\1 A. limitation on secondary uses.

The rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan with the adoption of the SCCP as
an element of the Comprehensive�L'-lan. 1 JIt
Staff met with one of the two property owners about the change. The representative of the Vineyard
Church property expressed some concern about a decrease in value of the property with the change
because fewer uses would be allowed in the M-M-N than the C-C. The other property is currently
for sale, and staff has not received any comments from that owner.
• Area A2: Community Commercial (C-C) to Commercial (C)— 1 acre
The South College Corridor Plan and its Framework Plan designate this area as Commercial (C).
The rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan with the adoption of the SCCP as
an element of the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff contacted a representative from the owner,Larimer Center for Mental Health,about the change
and did not receive any objection-,about tthe-change.:. 7
• Area B1: Commercial (,C)to Se r �e C lercial (C SI 29.2 acres

Intensification Areas per Zoning without a Subarea Plan. A portion of the South College Corridor
south of Fossil Creek Parkway is identified on the City Plan map as a potential intensification area
per zoning without a subarea plan. Since the proposed SCCP would continue to allow land use
intensification along the Corridor, the Redevelopment and Infill map needs to be amended so that
the area is shown as a redevelopment/infill area identified by a subarea plan.
