1. The Zoning Department stated the following:
a. Please show building / envelope dimensions and relative distances to the
nearest property lines.
b. A five foot landscaped buffer is required between the parking areas and the
adjacent properties to the south and west. This five foot landscaped area
cannot be encroached upon by vehicle overhang.
C. Please provide additional building dimensions on the building elevations.
d. The parking breakdown on the Site Plan needs to include the 4 garage
spaces.
e. Please provide information regarding the number of residential dwelling units
and the number of bedrooms per dwelling unit in order to determine if the
minimum parking standards are met.
f. 17 foot long parking stalls are only allowed if there is a two foot overhang
available. Please note that landscape strip adjacent to the parking lot on the
south and west sides must be 7.5 feet wide in order to accommodate vehicle
overhang and provide the minimum 5 foot wide landscaped area.
g. Please indicate the proposed use for the basement on the Site Plan.
h. Section 3.2.2[J] of the Land Use Code requires the handicap parking space
to be 15 feet south of the right-of-way line since Mountain Avenue is
classified as an arterial street.

i. Section 3.2.1 [E][5] and Section 3.2.2[M] of the Land Use Code require the

2. The Water Conservation Specialist stated the following:
a. The landscape plan shall contain a general note calling for the review and
approval by the City of Fort Collins of any required landscape irrigation
system, prior to the issuance of a Building Permit.
b. The landscape plan shall include the total area (in square feet) for each
landscape category. Landscape categories are distinguished by their water
requirements and intended maintenance level. Examples of possible
categories include, but are not limited to, high water turfgrass, low water
turfgrass, low water planting beds, moderate water planting beds, and non -
plant areas (paved areas, etc.).
3. The Light and Power Utility requests the coordination of a transformer location
and that the applicant plan for 3 phase power to the site.
4. The Poudre Fire Authority stated the following:
a. The proposed building exceeds 5000 square feet for Type V construction
and must be fire contained or fire sprinklered.
b. Fire hydrants are required with a maximum spacing of 600 feet along an
approved roadway. Each hydrant must be capable of delivering 1000
gallons of water per minute at a residual pressure of 20 psi. Hydrants shall
be of an approved type as defined by the Water Utility and the Poudre Fire
Authority. No commercial building can be greater than 300 feet from a fire
hydrant.
C. A fire alarm system is required for the third floor due to the height and use
of the building. However, this required alarm system can be deleted if the
building is protected throughout with an approved fire sprinkler system and
has a local alarm to notify all occupants. Approved single -station smoke
detectors shall be installed in the dwelling units, but not connected to a fire
alarm system.
5. The Building Inspection Department stated the following:
a. Dwelling units accessible and adaptable for use by persons with disabilities
must be provided in accordance with the 1997 Uniform Building Code as
amended by the City of Fort Collins. The 1992 edition of the American
National Standard Institute publication #A117.1 "Accessible and Usable
Buildings and Facilities" must be used in the design for accessible /
adaptable dwelling units. A local amendment to the UBC requires that
accessible units with numbers of bedrooms and other amenities be provided
in numbers proportionate to the remainder of the project. When more
stringent, the Colorado revised Statute, Title 9, Article 5, Section 111 also
applies to residential projects. Though not administered at the municipal
level, similar requirements are contained in State and Federal civil rights
legislation (Fair Housing Acts). Where provided in a project containing
accessible dwellings, a portion of the garages or covered parking must be
accessible.
b. Accessible exterior wheelchair routes and parking facilities shall be provided
with each phase of the development in accordance with Uniform Building
Code Chapter 11, Appendix Chapter 11, Division I and the American
National Standards Institute Publication Al 17.1-1992 titled Accessible and
Usable Buildings and Facilities. Accessible parking spaces are eight feet
wide with a five feet wide adjacent access aisle. Slopes for parking and
access aisles shall not exceed 1:50 in any direction.
C. Buildings larger than 5000 square feet shall be equipped with an automatic
fire -suppression system throughout in accordance with Uniform Building
Code Section 904.2.2 as amended by the City of Fort Collins. Residential
uses located on the third story also require installation of an automatic fire
suppression system.
d. Buildings shall be designed to comply with the Fort Collins Energy Codes.
The residential code is an amended version of the 1995 Model Energy Code
and the nonresidential code is based on ASHRAE/IES (American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers / Illuminating
Engineering Society) 90.1-1989.
e. Exterior wall construction and exterior opening protection must be as called
for in the Uniform Building Code based on use and type of construction.
Unprotected openings are not permitted less than 10 feet from a property
line for the proposed uses in buildings of any construction type.
6. TCI of Fort Collins requests a utility easement outside of the right-of-way. Please
contact The Commercial Accounts Executive, Reneta Santoro, at 493-7400
(Monday through Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm) about a broadband utility easement.
Without this easement, TCI cannot service this building.
7. The Traffic Operations Department stated that the developer must pay for the
cost of the parking changes for the entire east/west block for consistency.
8. The Current Planning Department offers the following comments:
a. Two-family dwellings, standard restaurants, and offices are permitted in the
Canyon Avenue subdistrict of the Downtown District subject to a Type 1
Review. Staff erroneously classified the two-family dwellings as multi -family
dwellings at the Conceptual Review meeting. Therefore, unless
modifications to standards are requested, this development proposal may be
processed through an Administrative (Type 1) Review.
b. The sidewalk on the east side between the outdoor seating and the steps
must be at least 7 feet wide. This area currently scales at 6 feet.
C. Encroachment permits must be submitted to the Engineepng-Department for
the outdoor seating areas, etc.
Off -site easements may be needed for (re)construction of the retaining walls.
A sidewalk is needed on the south side of the building from the rear parking
lot to South Meldrum Street.
As per comments from the Zoning Department regarding interior parking lot
landscaping and the need for a 5 foot landscaping buffer, it appears that the
size of the building may need to be reduced slightly to accommodate the
required changes.
g. Please clarify the building square footage information within the building
footprint. The building footprint is 5,130 square feet (subject to revision); the
Floor Area as per Section 5.1.2 of the Land Use Code is 14,190 square feet
(subject to revision); and the Gross Building Square footage is 18,240 square
feet (subject to revision).
h. Please list the use of the basement within the building footprint.
Please revise General Notes 1, 4, 11, and 12 and add a Note 17 as indicated
on the redlined Site Plan.
If no modifications to standards are necessary, the Planning approval block
can be changed to reference the Director of Planning (Type 1 Review).
k. Please clarify the adjacent land uses as noted on the redlined Site Plan.
Has the City Forester been contacted regarding the proposed tree removal?
If not, please do so. Mitigation for tree removal will be required per Section
3.2.1 [F] of the Land Use Code. Tree protection notes must be added to the
Landscape Plan in accordance with Section 3.2.1 [G] of the Land Use Code.
m. The east building elevation does not appear to match the proposed Site Plan
(see outdoor seating area).
n. Can windows be added on the west and south building elevations as noted
on the redlined elevation Sheet 3 of 5?
o. The Lighting Distribution pattern details need to reference down -directional,
sharp cut-off fixtures. In addition the maximum candle level of the 682-11
HID fixture detail exceeds the maximum 10 foot-candles that are allowed by
code. High pressure sodium light sources are preferred.
P. Please eliminate the context plan (aerial) Sheet 5 of 5 as it will not be
recorded. The remaining plan set will need to be renumbered.
q. Foundation plantings are required along at least 50% of the building
frontage. Please refer to Section 3.2.1 [E][2][d] of the Land Use Code and
the redlined Landscape Plan.
r. Four trees must be added as noted on the redlined Landscape Plan in
accordance with Section 3.2.1 [E][4][a]; Sections 3.2.2[M][1 ] and 3.2.1 [E][5];
and Section 3.2.1 [D][2] fo the Land Use Code.
S. After adding the required trees, please verify that the Landscape Plan
complies with Section 3.2.1 [D][3] of the Land Use Code (no more than 50%
of one species is allowed).
t. Please show the location and screening of mechanical equipment on the
building elevations.
U. Please add elevations of the trash enclosure to the elevation sheet.
