AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 14
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 137, 2013, Designating 1501 Peterson Street as a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant
to Chapter 14 of the City Code.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owners of the property, Robert and Sally Linton, are initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation
of the Crane Property at 1501 Peterson Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The property at 1501 Peterson Street qualifies for Fort Collins Landmark designation under Designation Standard 3,
as an excellent example of Prairie style architecture with a high level of historic integrity. Originally developed and
championed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Prairie style was used almost exclusively for residential buildings. Adding to
the local significance of 1501 Peterson is the fact that it is one of only a very few Prairie-style houses built in Fort
Collins during this period; the estimated construction date of the house is 1918.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
Recognition of 1501 Peterson Street as a Fort Collins Landmark enables its owners to qualify for federal, state and
local financial incentive programs available only to designated properties. Additionally, based upon research
conducted by Clarion Associates, the property would see an increase in value following designation. Clarion
Associates attributed this increase to the fact that future owners also qualify for the financial incentives; the perception
that designated properties are better maintained; the appeal of owning a recognized historic landmark; and the
assurance of predictability that design review offers.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At a public hearing held on August 14, 2013, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted to recommend
designation of this property under Designation Standard (3), for its architectural significance to Fort Collins.
