STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES
CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
Harmony Road & Regency Drive
Fort Collins, Colorado
February 3, 1992
_MASTER PLAN OBJECTIVES
It is the desire of the Owner to control the development of lots 2 and 3 to a use
that is compatible to the development of a church on lot 1 and to adjoining
residential developments. Therefore the approved uses on previous master plans is
being made more restrictive to specifically prohibit fast food, convenience stores,
and automotive service establishments. Accepted uses include residential, offices,
medical offices, and personal service shops.
PRELIMINARY PUD OBJECTIVES
a. The development of a church is compatible with the City Land Use Policies
for residential areas.
b. All property intended for development is owned by the Corporation of the
Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints (a Utah
Corporation, Sole).
C. The only paid staff on site will be a janitorial staff of one or two people.
d. The LDS Church has an extensive building program throughout the United
States and the world. The building that is proposed for this site has been
repeated on numerous other sites. Consequently the LDS Church has
accurate knowledge about site usage and requirements to satisfy a smooth
operation. Corner sites are not preferred, and in the case of this site, we feel
it would be more appropriate to have a residential use on the corner than a
church.
e. See attached Criteria Chart.
f. There are no site conflicts. Because there will not be any day-care or
education uses (except for Sunday -school and periodic church related
classes) there will be no significant traffic impact as supported by the
12/26/91 traffic study performed by Leigh, Scott & Cleary, Inc.
g. The building is designed with the use of extensive insulation (R-19 in exterior
walls, R-30 in ceilings), insulated glass or vestibules shall be used
throughout, and the building shall be sheathed in masonry and stucco to
limit air infiltration. The building shall comply with the Colorado Energy Code.
Also, sophisticated thermostats with set -backs shall be used to limit energy
consumption during non-use or low -use hours.
Very truly yours,

Re: Fort Collins Second and Harmony PUD
Dear Mr. Dodd:
Yesterday we discussed the development agreement between the
City of Fort Collins and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints regarding the above -referenced planned unit development. As
a part of that discussion, you had requested that I provide you a
copy of the City's Code of ordinances pertaining to the street
oversizing fee and also any background material that went into the
formulation of that fee. A copy of the Code is enclosed, along
with a memo dated January 27, 1989, which helps to explain the
"rational basis" for the establishment of the City's street
oversizing fee. I hope that after you have had an opportunity to
examine these documents, you will be able to agree with me that,
absent absolute arithmetic precision, the City has established a
good, logical and rational basis for its street oversizing program.
You had also asked Mike Herzig to advise you as to what the
street oversizing fee would be for the church which is proposed to
be constructed on Lot 1 of the planned unit development. He has
advised me that the street oversizing fee is in the sum of
$13,707.72 for Lot 1. There will be no street oversizing fee
charged for Lots 2 and/or 3 until some development is proposed to
be constructed upon those lots, at which time the fee will be
determined based upon that construction.
If you have any additional questions or would like to discuss
any further issues about this development, please do not hesitate
to call.
Since y,
