Update of Old Town Fort Collins Historic District Design Standards and Downtown River District (R- D-R Zone) Design Standards and Guidelines. (staff: Josh Weinberg, Ted Shepard; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) The purpose of this item is to review a proposed update to the Old Town Fort Collins Historic District (Old Town District) Design Standards and Downtown River District (R-D-R Zone) Design Standards and Guidelines. These two projects, while separate, are brought forward in tandem due to a similar set of design issues and geographical proximity. Both areas also contain portions of the National Register Old Town Historic District. The Old Town Design Standards, originally adopted in 1981, require substantial revisions to address current historic preservation practices and development concerns related to infill and redevelopment within and around the Old Town District. The update to the design standards will define and illustrate characteristics for compatible future development within the Old Town District and in the adjacent area; and a means for incorporating modern sustainable building practices into historic preservation projects. The design standards for the R-D-R Zone District were originally adopted with City Plan in 1997. Several developments have been brought forward, highlighting the need to take additional steps to preserve the district's distinctive character as the commercial and industrial core of our city. The proposed design standards and CITY COUNCIL City of Fort Collins Page 2 guidelines for this zone have been created to better address neighborhood, site and building attributes in order to preserve the unique character of the area. 3.
