HomeMy WebLinkAboutCOUNCIL - AGENDA ITEM - 12/09/2008 - MOUNTAIN VISTA SUBAREA PLAN UPDATE DATE : December 9 , 2008 WORK SESSION ITEM STAFF : Pete Wray FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL Matt Wempe SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION Mountain Vista Subarea Plan Update. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this work session is to provide a progress check and seek direction from City Council on the update of the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan (Plan) . The original Subarea Plan was adopted in 1999 . Since that time, certain conditions have changed and new information is available, establishing a need to revisit the Plan and assess potential changes to improve what is already in place. The planning process to update the Plan began in March 2008 . Staff has been working with a consultant team to assess market support for various land use scenarios and traffic forecasting of proposed street network options . Three framework map alternatives have been developed by staff to assess options for land use and transportation. From a land use perspective, one key issue is an option to increase the employment designation and, as a result, reduce the amount of residential land use within the Anheuser-Bush InBev (ABI) property. For the remainder of the Plan area, other issues include confirming the location of the Community Park and Community Commercial designations and assessing the amount of multi-family residential designations. The major transportation issues include the refined transportation network, the realignment of Vine Drive, and the designation of Vine Drive as the north Enhanced Travel Corridor. With input from area property owners, including representatives of ABI, consultant analysis, boards and commissions, public comments, and direction from Council, staff will then prepare a preferred framework map and update the Plan document. A tentative schedule for Council ' s consideration of the Plan is March 17 , 2009 , GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED 1 . What feedback does Council have regarding the options presented on the map alternatives? 2 . Are there other issues not mentioned that staff needs to address? 3 . Is there any additional information that is needed prior to or along with agenda materials that would be presented at the time a decision is considered by the Council? December 9 , 2008 Page 2 BACKGROUND I. Purpose of Updating the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan The Mountain Vista Subarea Plan was adopted in 1999 , as an element of City Plan . Since adoption, staff has responded to numerous requests for changes to the Plan. Justification for potential changes include recommendations from development proposals for rezoning, challenges in meeting development standards, new information from analysis and review of other Plans, and new ownership and property representation. An update to this Plan has been on the Council work program for several years . The update process was first scheduled for 2003 ; however, the update was deferred to allow certain information and understanding to be developed between the City and ABI regarding recommendations from the Boxelder Creek/Cooper Slough Regional Stormwater Master Plan and Upper Cooper Slough Stormwater Master Plan. Direction for staff to proceed with the Subarea planning process was reinstated in early 2008 . The Plan area is projected to accommodate a significant portion of the City ' s future growth with approximately 3 , 100 acres of total land. While the City Structure Plan, Master Street Plan, and current zoning establish a foundation, the time is right to reevaluate the Plan and assess potential refinement and improvements to the Plan document. The Plan update will determine the land use, transportation network, drainage ways, parks and open lands, trails, and other refinements necessary to guide future development in this important growth area of the City. More specifically, the process will update the previously adopted vision, goals, Framework Plan map, policies, and implementation recommendations in the original document. II. Key Land Use and Transportation Issues and Choices A number of potential adjustments to the Plan have been identified in the process to date. These are illustrated in Attachments 3 through 6, comparing the original Framework Plan map currently in place, and three draft alternatives . Some of the potential adjustments are consistent among the alternatives, and others present choices that vary among the alternatives (See Attachment 7 — Plan Summary Table) . Elements consistent among the alternatives include : • Land use designations on ABI property • Future Poudre School District facility and surrounding Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood land use designations • Regional storm water detention facilities • Community entryway concept • Enhanced travel corridor (ETC) routes • Grade separated railroad crossings • City bicycle and pedestrian off-street trails These ideas are summarized as follows . Land use designations on (ABI) property. The original Framework Plan encompasses 3 , 100 acres, of which 1 ,200 acres are owned by ABI. Of this ABI total land area, 326 acres are currently designated Industrial and 590 acres are designated Employment. The remaining property includes December 9 , 2008 Page 3 284 acres as a combination of Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood, Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood, Community Commercial, and Community Park land uses (See Attachment 3 - 1999 Framework Plan Map) . The ABI Brewery occupies about 240 acres of the Industrial designation, with the remaining 960 acres of ABI property undeveloped, in agricultural use. The ABI objectives for Plan adjustments include expanding Employment and Industrial uses by eliminating residential and Community Commercial uses within its property. The primary goal of ABI for this proposed change is to maintain a separation and transition between the industrial brewery operation and residential development. For several decades the Brewery has not proactively marketed its property in Fort Collins for development. ABI has successfully developed quality industrial and business centers at other ABI properties across the nation. The unique marketability of ABI property is based on the availability of large tracts of undeveloped land, direct access to rail and I-25 . Key to this discussion is the trade-off of providing a significant business center located at this northeast area of the community, and as a result, reduce the inventory of residential within the Plan area. At the same time, staff has worked closely with new ABI representatives to identify the proposed location of the future Community Park east of the high school site and on ABI property. Confirmation of the location for this Park is a key piece of the land use puzzle staff is assessing with each Plan alternative . In addition, staff is supporting a more central location of the Community Commercial District, off of ABI land, to be supported and surrounded by more residential land uses . Finally, both staff and representatives of ABI agree that the Mountain Vista Drive corridor heading west from I-25 is an important gateway. Staff has included an additional scope of work with the consultants to develop Gateway District design and development standards as part of the Employment designation. Future Poudre School District (PSD) facility. PSD acquired approximately 110 acres of land located northeast of Mountain Vista Drive and Timberline Road in 1998 . This property location is shown both on the existing Framework Plan and three Alternatives . The projected future facility needs for PSD for this property may include three schools with kindergarten through high school grade levels . Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhoods (LMN). The existing Framework Plan shows approximately 1 , 700 acres of LMN land use, with some of this designation located on ABI property. Consistent with all three Alternatives, the total inventory of LMN land use is located outside of ABI property. The total amount of LMN land use differs slightly between the Alternatives. Regional storm water detention facilities. City goals for plan adjustments include agreement on designation of land for two large regional storm water detention facilities ( 110 acres) within the Plan area, and a third located north of Richards Lake Road (20 acres) . Staff has worked closely with ABI and other affected owners to reach substantial agreement regarding the facilities as shown. The extent of these future regional ponds as shown is contingent upon all future development providing on-site detention. Community entryway. A common goal to establish a quality entryway into the northeast area from Interstate 25 has been identified between staff and representatives of ABI. Staff has included an additional scope of work with the consultant, EDAW, Inc to develop special Gateway development December 9 , 2008 Page 4 concepts and design standards for the Mountain Vista Drive corridor near I-25 . This work is starting now, but is anticipated to be completed after Plan adoption as a follow-up implementation item. Enhanced Travel Corridors . City Plan and the Transportation Master Plan identify four Enhanced Travel Corridors (ETC) in the City. These Corridors include the Mason Transportation Corridor, Harmony Road, Timberline Road, and North College/Conifer Street. The purpose of these corridors is to provide multi-modal connections between key activity centers and access to high frequency transit service and bicycle and pedestrian facilities . The cost estimates for the future ETC in the subarea will depend on the type of transit service and vehicle technology selected and will be determined through a future separate planning process . Based on a more direct connection, proposed land uses, and preliminary modeling analysis, staff is considering designating the realigned Vine Drive as the future ETC . The current ETC is located along North College connecting to the future extension of Conifer Street. A Vine Drive ETC would still connect to the Downtown Transit Center via North College . Grade separated railroad crossings. The Burlington Northern and Saute Fe Railroad will not allow future arterial street widening at existing rail track locations. As a result, the Master Street Plan shows three new alignments in the Plan area incorporating a grade separated crossing (GSC) . The first GSC is located at the realignment of Lemay Ave and East Vine Drive. The second GSC is located at the realignment of Timberline Road and East Vine Drive . The third GSC is located at the railroad track crossing and Mountain Vista Drive. City Bicycle and Pedestrian Off-Street Trails. The 2008 Bicycle Plan shows several hard surface multi-use paths located in the Plan subarea. These paths would be located along drainage channels and other greenways . As development occurs, the paths would be constructed to provide connections between activity centers, schools, and future parks . Elements varying among the alternatives include : • Location of a 110-Acre community park • Location of a Community Commercial District and Medium Density Neighborhood • Refined Master Street Plan • Realignment of Vine Drive • Alignment of Conifer Street • Costs for major street infrastructure These ideas are summarized below as they vary among three Framework Plan map alternatives (Attachments 4-6) . • Draft Framework Plan Alternative A (Attachment 4) Alternative A is distinguished by the following land use and transportation elements : Land Use • Location for a Community Park Site . Park planning staff has identified the need to acquire between 110 and 120 acres for a major future park in the Mountain Vista area. All three December 9 , 2008 Page 5 Framework Plan alternatives reflect ongoing discussions with owners regarding location of this park site. Alternative A reflects discussions with ABI to include about 70 acres of the park to be designated on ABI property, with the remainder of the acreage shown located on adjacent land. • Location of Community Commercial District. The 30 acre Community Commercial District is located further south and west of Timberline Road than the other Alternatives . This location was determined as a result of the extension of the Park south of Mountain Vista Drive and central proximity to supporting residential uses . • Shift in Residential Land Use. Alternative A includes 180 acres of Medium Density Mixed- Use Neighborhoods, including an additional new neighborhood area near the future New Vine/Lemay intersection. The idea is that the additional capacity for multi-family housing types could partly offset the reduction in total residential land use designation which results from expansion of Employment designation on ABI property on all alternatives. Also, the designation is viewed by owners as more appropriate for the higher-traffic, higher-activity setting around the major New Vine/Lemay intersection. As part of the consultant preliminary land use analysis, the findings generally support multi-family residential in proximity to future employment, shopping and transit activity (See attached Draft Market Analysis Summary) . • The existing Plan shows a total of 7,608 housing units . In comparison, Alternative A shows a total of 6,407 housing units , resulting in a reduction of 1 ,201 housing units . Similarly, Alternative A shows 14,223 jobs, which represents an increase of 1 ,778 jobs from the Existing Plan. This results in a jobs/housing balance change from 1 . 53 to 1 . 56 (See Attachment 7 - Summary Table) . Transportation • Refined Master Street Plan. All three Alternatives include a refined transportation network. The refinements attempt to maintain multi-modal connectivity, access, and capacity while responding to land use and other changes . Staff will continue to analyze and model potential changes to the transportation network. • Vine Drive Realignment. A primary difference between the existing Plan and the three Alternatives includes options for the realignment of East Vine Drive. Alternative A shows the Vine Drive realignment shifted approximately one-quarter mile to the north extending east/west from Timberline Road to North College Avenue. An opportunity now exists for staff to plan for a new Vine Drive alignment further to the north through undeveloped land. This approach would be potentially more cost effective than expanding the existing 2-lane street to a future 4-lane arterial street along its current alignment. Expansion of the existing Vine Drive is limited due to the BNSF railroad tracks and adjacent switching yard to the south. The historic Andersonville and Alta Vista neighborhoods also prevent future expansion of the intersection at Vine Drive and Lemay Ave . In addition, several existing homes and the historic Plummer School are located on the north side of East Vine Drive near Timberline Road. The magnitude of these existing December 9 , 2008 Page 6 conditions and input from area property owners provides support for staff to analyze a realignment of this important east/west street connection. • Transportation Cost/Modeling Analysis. The Plan update includes transportation alternatives analysis which includes infrastructure cost estimates and transportation modeling to evaluate the pros and cons of each alternative. The cost estimates have been developed by the City ' s Engineering Department staff. These estimates are based on the projected costs for all of the streets shown on the City ' s Master Street Plan and assume a street design in accordance with the adopted Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards . The transportation network shown in Alternative A is estimated to cost approximately $ 134 million for future street and supporting facility improvements such as grade separated railroad crossings, bridges and culverts . This cost estimate figure represents a reduction of approximately $ 14 million from the existing Master Street Plan (See Attachment 7 - Plan Summary Table) . In addition, staff is reevaluating the Master Street Plan to see if a simplified street network can be designed within the Plan area, while at the same time, maintaining access and connectivity, choices for all travel modes, and the appropriate Level of Service (LOS) traffic operations . Preliminary modeling and analysis has been completed to determine the impact of the transportation network proposed in each draft framework plan alternative. • The Plan update will also include design guidelines for the major corridors in the area such as along Vine Drive, Timberline, and Mountain Vista Drive Gateway, from I-25 to Timberline Road. • DRAFT FRAMEWORK PLAN ALTERNATIVE B (Attachment 5 ) Alternative B is distinguished by the following land use and transportation elements : • Location of a I I O-Acre community park • Location of a Community Commercial District and Medium Density Neighborhood • Refined Master Street Plan • Realignment of Vine Drive • Conifer Street alignment • Costs for major street infrastructure Land Use • Location for a Community Park Site. Similar to Alternative A, this Alternative shows about 70 acres to be designated on ABI property, with the remainder of the acreage shown on the adjacent property to the south of ABI . What is slightly different is the shape of the lower portion of the park. • The key land use change between Alternative A and B is the location of the Community Commercial designation, east of Timberline Road. This change is a result of a different alignment of East Vine Drive and location of the Community Park. The total acreage of this designation (30 acres) is the same for each of the three Alternatives . December 9 , 2008 Page 7 • Medium Density Mixed- Use Neighborhood. Alternative B shows approximately 60 acres of the Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood designation adjacent to the Community Commercial District. • The existing Plan shows a total of 7 ,608 housing units . In comparison, Alternative B shows a total of 6,248 housing units, resulting in a reduction of 1 ,360 housing units. Similarly, Alternative B shows 14,741 jobs, which represents an increase of 2 ,296 jobs from the Existing Plan. This results in a jobs/housing balance change from 1 . 53 to 1 . 57 (See Attachment 7 - Summary Table) . Transportation • Realignment ofEast Vine Drive. The East Vine Drive realignment in Alternative B is farther to the north as compared to Alternative A, and connects between College Ave and Giddings Road. • Conifer Street alignment. In this Alternative, a direct connection is shown for Conifer Street, shifting slightly to the south between Lemay Ave and Timberline Road. • The Alternative B transportation network includes a total cost estimate for future street and supporting facility improvements of approximately $ 130 million. This figure represents a reduction in total cost for future improvements from the existing Master Street Plan of approximately $ 18 million. • DRAFT FRAMEWORK PLAN ALTERNATIVE C (Attachment 6) Alternative C is distinguished by the following land use and transportation elements : • Location of a 110-Acre Community Park • Location of a Community Commercial District and Medium Density Neighborhood • Refined Master Street Plan • Realignment of Vine Drive • Conifer Street Alignment • Costs for Major Street Infrastructure Land Use • Community Park. Alternative C reflects an option to locate the entire future park on ABI property. In an effort to offset the additional Employment land use designation given up for the park on ABI land, this approximate 40 acre area is shown as Employment use on the property to the south. • Community Commercial District. The Community Commercial designation is located adjacent to the intersection of Timberline Road and Mountain Vista Drive encompassing approximately 30 acres . Supporting this commercial area is approximately 35 acres of Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood land use . December 9 , 2008 Page 8 • The existing Plan shows a total of 7 ,608 housing units . In comparison, Alternative C shows a total of 6, 132 housing units, resulting in a reduction of 1 ,476 housing units. Similarly, Alternative C shows 14,425 jobs, which represents an increase of 1 ,980 jobs from the Existing Plan. This results in a jobs/housing balance change from 1 . 53 to 1 . 57 (See Attachment 7 - Summary Table) . Transportation • If the entire future community park is located north of Mountain Vista Drive, then the existing alignment of Timberline Road and Mountain Vista Drive can continue at the current alignments as shown on the City ' s Master Street Plan. In addition, a direct connection between Turnberry Road and 1-25 can be maintained along Mountain Vista Drive. • The realignment of East Vine Drive is the same for this Alternative and Alternative A. • Conifer Street Alignment. In Alternative C, staff assessed not extending a future alignment of Conifer Street between Lemay Avenue and Timberline Road. The transportation modeling analysis will help determine if this connection is still needed to provide additional traffic capacity in this area. • The Alternative C transportation network includes a total cost of approximately $ 130 million for future street and supporting facility improvements . This figure represents a reduction of approximately $ 18 million from the existing Master Street Plan. Staff Observations on Alternatives At this stage in the planning process, staff has not identified a preferred Plan alternative . Several key issues need further discussion and analysis including extent of residential land use in the Plan area, location of the future community park, and location of the Community Commercial District. A draft Market Analysis was recently prepared by the consultants to help determine long-term demand for these land uses mentioned above . Staff is still in the process of reviewing this information for each Plan Alternative . The final market analysis report for the identified land use designations will help staff develop a preferred Framework Plan. Transportation and engineering staff are also still in the process of reviewing the draft Traffic Modeling Analysis provided by the consultants to assess the best scenario for the overall street network. The three key street segments in question include the realignment of East Vine Drive, location of the Enhanced Travel Corridor, and connection of Timberline Road and Mountain Vista Drive. Unresolved Issues Staff is continuing to meet with consultants and area property owners to discuss land use and transportation options . The following issues will need to be resolved in order to finalize a preferred Framework Plan: December 9 , 2008 Page 9 • Location and acquisition of community park. Parks and Recreation Planning staff s goal is to reach an agreement on this soon. • Location of Community Commercial District. If and when a park location is finalized, a staff recommendation for a preferred location of the Community Commercial District can then be identified in this general area. • Final alignment of East Vine Drive. Staff will assess modeling analysis to formulate a recommendation on the preferred option. • Property owner request to reduce residential density. Staff is continuing to meet with the property owner to assess options to provide more of a variety of housing types . III. Planning Process The update process has included extensive public involvement from property owners within the project area, ABI, Poudre School District and other service providers, railroad representatives, multiple City departments, the Transportation Board, and the Planning and Zoning Board. Future meeting updates are scheduled with the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board, Parks and Recreation Board and Air Quality Advisory Board (See Attachment 2 - Summary of comments from 2 Workshops) . The project team includes staff from various City departments, EDAW I AECOM (urban planning and design), Economic and Planning Systems (market analysis), LSA Associates, Inc . (transportation modeling), and Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (transportation engineering and analysis) . The planning process to update the Plan is divided into three main Phases . Phase I (March — August 2008) primary tasks included identifying background information associated with project start up (Attachment 8 - Schedule Overview) . The technical staff team identified key issues, and assessed existing conditions and plan objectives . A reevaluation of the original vision, goals and policies was conducted to assess refinement of this foundational language . The staff team set up initial meetings with individual property owners and provided updates to boards and commissions during this first phase. Phase II (August - December 2008) includes a focus on design and alternative analysis . Preliminary transportation modeling has been completed for the three alternatives. The modeling will be used as part of the larger alternatives analysis to determine the preferred land use and transportation plan. Based on the recommendations from the analysis, final road classifications and level of service standards will be identified for the transportation network. Framework plan alternatives were developed to compare different scenarios showing options for land use, street patterns, open lands and other public facilities . Staff is still in the process of reviewing the preliminary market analysis prepared by the consultants to assess support for the amount of land use designations in the Plan area. Next Steps in Process : Phase III (January - March 2009) includes finalizing the Plan document. Between January and March 2009, staff will be refining the Plan document in preparation for Council ' s consideration. The project team will be preparing final goals and policies and identifying a preferred land use and transportation framework plan. One additional public event will be held in late January 2009 to gain public feedback on the draft Plan. Additional review by the Planning and Zoning Board, Land December 9 , 2008 Page 10 Conservation Stewardship Board, Air Quality Board, Transportation Board, and Parks and Recreation Board will continue as more information is available .
