RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning Board recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This is a request to zone a parcel owned by Colorado State University, designated "CSU" and not presently zoned, HMN (High Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood). The subject site consists of 2.4 ± acres located south of and adjacent to Pitkin Street, 1/8 mile east of south Shields Street. CKGROUND: In March of 1997, as part of the comprehensive rezoning of the City, those areas owned by Colorado State University and exempt from the City's regulations received a designation of "CSU" on the Zoning Map and were not officially "zoned". The original basis for the "CSU" designations was that these areas were contained within three distinct College Addition Annexation Areas, one of which was the CSU main campus and immediately surrounding area. The subject property, present home of the CSU "Ropes Course", was incorrectly considered part of the College Addition First Annexation that occurred in 1956. Staff overlooked the fact that the subject parcel lies outside the annexation area (see attached College Addition First Annexation Map). Consequently, staff inadvertently designated the subject parcel "CSU". Colorado State University recently submitted a development application to construct a freshman dormitory on this site, along with a contiguous parcel to the west presently zoned HMN. Since staff had previously identified the subject area as having been improperly designated, and CSU's desire to move forward with future construction created the need to initiate action. Staff made the decision to sponsor the zoning request as allowed by Section 2.9.3(A) of the Code. The proposed HMN zoning would make this parcel consistent with the zoning designation of contiguous parcels to the south and west. The entire parcel lies outside the College Addition First Annexation Area specifically described in Appendix A, Code of the City of Fort Collins. DATE: ITEM NUMBER: 20 The Planning and Zoning Board Hearing The Planning and Zoning Board considered the CSU South Dormitory Zoning at its December 19, 2002 meeting. The Board unanimously (7-0) recommended that City Council approve the request. The item was considered on the consent agenda.
