Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522.0580 970.221.6760 970.224.6134 - fax fcgov.com MEMORANDUM DATE: August 23, 2022 TO: Mayor Arndt and City Councilmembers THRU: Kelly DiMartino, City Manager Tyler Marr, Interim Deputy City Manager Caryn Champine, Director of Planning, Development, and Transportation Paul Sizemore, Director of Community Development and Neighborhood Services Rebecca Everette, Planning Manager FROM: Jenny Axmacher, Senior City Planner RE: Montava Development Update – Second Phase Submittal The purpose of this memorandum is to inform Council, in accordance with the Montava Communications Plan, that a development review application has been received for the second phase of the Montava development. HF2M Colorado has submitted an application for a Basic Development Review (BDR) for the residential portion of the Town Center, Phase E. The submittal information is available here: https://ourcity.fcgov.com/Montava. Bottom Line Staff will review and evaluate the submittal against the approved Planned Unit Development (PUD) Overlay standards for Montava as well as the applicable Land Use Code (LUC) requirements in accordance with the standard BDR process. While the BDR process does not require a neighborhood meeting, the applicant has committed to conducting one during the review of their initial phases of development. Additional communications will occur once the neighborhood meeting is scheduled. Staff has also undertaken outreach regarding this application in addition to the notifications required by the LUC. A sign was posted on the property, an update was made to the Montava webpage on Our City, and an email notification was sent to all subscribers to the Montava Our City webpage, in addition to this memo to Council. A notification about the submittal will be included in the This Week in Development Review email newsletter. It is important to note that per the LUC, the decision maker for a BDR is the Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director, so this application will not receive a public hearing. All questions or comments about the proposed development can be submitted directly to City staff for consideration by emailing devreviewcomments@fcgov.com. Council will receive another memo once a decision is made on the application and additional communications to the public will also occur at that time.

Background This is a request for a Basic Development Review (BDR) for the development of Phase E of the Montava PUD Master Plan. Phase E falls within the T4 and T5 transect districts of the PUD Master Plan, and the site is currently undeveloped farmland. As proposed, it would become the residential portion of the proposed Town Center, including approximately 205 single-family attached and 41 single-family detached residential units. The multi-family and mixed-use areas would be included in the overall planning for this area and would be platted as parcels for future development. A non-potable irrigation (raw water) delivery system is also planned for the Montava development, and this phase would utilize the pond that is proposed to be designed and constructed concurrent with Phase G, currently under review as BDR210013. Also included in Phase E is the tract of land that is planned for a future city recreation center which is still under discussion with the City. The recreation facility would align with the Parks and Recreation Master Plan but would also be subject to further review at the time of future development.
