BACKGROUND:
. The rezoning request is inconsistent with the East Side Neighborhood Plan adopted in 1986. This
Plan established a land use pattern for the area bounded by College Avenue to the west,
Mountain Avenue to the north, Riverside and Lemay Avenues to the east and Prospect Road to
the south. This Plan was developed as a tool to help preserve and enhance the quality of life, and
DATE: ITEM NUMBER:
promote stability for the East Side Neighborhood. The Eastside Neighborhood Plan was later
incorporated as an element of City Plan, adopted by City Council in 1997. The Plan includes a
specific zoning pattern for this area, focusing on preserving the single family residential and
commercial areas, and proposing land use buffers between areas of residential and commercial
uses. These zone districts were developed as part of the Structure Plan then applied to this area.
The properties included within the rezoning petition were initially to be zoned RL— Low Density
Residential in the East Side Neighborhood Plan. These properties were later included within the
NCL — Neighborhood Conservation, Low Density District. The NCL zone district permits single
family residential and parks and recreation areas as Type I (administrative) uses and group
homes, schools, churches, community and public facilities as Type II (Planning and Zoning
Board) uses.
Cism ,.��The surrounding zoning and 1 as foN: NC; commercia center
S: E; Multi-family residential
E: NCL; Existing single family residential
W: NCL; Medical offices (pending rezone to NCB)
The property was annexed as part of the First Lemay Annexation in June, 1967.
Quasi-Judicial Rezoning.
The properties included wit the re(irng ti n 1 an 640 acres, and is therefore,
considered a Quasi-Judicial R oning. er r. a Planni and Zoning Board to recommend
approval of a rezoning to the Ct as of th wine criteria must be met:
A. The proposed amendment must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and/or
The parcels are designated as Low Density, Mixed-Use Residential Neighborhood on the City of
Fort Collins Structure Plan. The existing NCL zoning and the proposed NCB zoning are
consistent with this designation on the Structure Plan. However, the East Side Neighborhood
Plan is an element of City Plan. Rezoning requests within the East Side Neighborhood Plan must
demonstrate substantial compli it ec ni fatestablished by the plan. The
proposed rezoning is inconsis t wit zon is ict eced for these properties.
B. The ro osed amendm t St�'awat an b chahe neighborhood surroundin
and includine the subject property.
An extensive analysis of the neighborhood was conducted during the preparation of the East Side
Neighborhood Plan. This planning process inventoried the transportation, housing, zoning,
historic buildings and land uses for the parcels within the study area. Development occurring
along the Lemay Avenue corridor (south of Albertson's), has been in conformance with the plan.
Land immediately surrounding the parcels and the parcels themselves, have not changed since
the implementation of the East Side Neighborhood Plan.
DATE: April
ITEM NUMBER: 29
Additional Consideration for Quasi-Judicial Rezoning:
In determining whether to recommend approval of any such proposed zoning amendment, the
Planning and Zoning Board and City Council may consider the following additional factors:
• 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.
Conceivably, uses such as multi-family, medical and professional offices, could be included
within this area and be comp le i the is'' g e hO uses are already established
within the properties to the n h ands th of e �is, wever, difficult to determine how
such uses may become comp' , 'blewit ad'a nt"ngle fa residential area. The lots were
platted for residential buildings and are re atively small an narrow. It may be a challenge to
propose a use other than single family residential on this lot while still providing the necessary
setback and buffering to ensure compatibility with adjacent single family residences. The
adjacent single family lots are also very narrow and deep, with a minimal side yard setback.
• 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, noise
air, stormwater management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands and the natural functioning of
the environment. Pal
The parcels are not included 'thin a mppe atea, r does it appear they contain any
wetlands or other environme se e ahie ould be impacted by future
development of the site. There does appear to be existing significant vegetation on the site, which
may need to be incorporated into a future site plan.
• Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in a logical and
orderly development atp tern.
The zoning pattern is following an orderly extension of the adjacent NCB zoning, however the
proposed zoning will permit th E isnuant,,o
ns' en ' .us into an area that is planned to
remain as single family devel menut E S ighborhood Plan.
FINDINGS OF FACT/CON�3�>CI ._ „_,
After reviewing the East Elizabeth Street Rezoning, File #2-02, staff makes the following
findings of fact and conclusions:
A. The City Plan rezoning in March of 1997 for these properties to NCL was based on the
recommendations of the East Side Neighborhood Plan.
• B. The subject property for the East Elizabeth Rezoning is designated on the City Structure
Plan as Low Density Mixed Use Residential Neighborhood. The rezoning request is
inconsistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan map.
DATE: April 16, 2002 4 ITEM NUMBER: 29
C. The subject property for the East Elizabeth Street Rezoning is designated as Low Density
Residential in the East Side Neighborhood Plan, an element of the City of Fort Collins
City Plan. The rezoning request is inconsistent with this plan.
D. The subject properties and surrounding properties have not undergone significant change
since the adoption of the East Side Neighborhood Plan. The rezoning request has not
demonstrated a significant change to warrant the rezoning request.
