OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AMENDING THE CITY'S STRUCTURE PLAN MAP
TO COMPORT WITH THE AMENDMENTS TO
THE EAST MULBERRY CORRIDOR PLAN
WHEREAS,by Resolution 2002-087 the Council of the City of Fort Collins has adopted the
East Mulberry Corridor Plan as an element of the City's Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS,by Resolution 2003-064,the Council has amended the East Mulberry Corridor
Plan by changing the land use designations of two properties located on the northeast corner of the
intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Lemay Avenue from employment to medium density,mixed use
neighborhood land uses and by changing the land use designation of one property at said location
from employment to industrial land uses; and
WHEREAS,because of the adoption of the amendments to the East Mulberry Corridor Plan,
the Council has determined that certain amendments should be made to the City's Structure Plan
Map; and
WHEREAS, throughout the East Mulberry Corridor Plan process, several alternative land
uses were evaluated for the three properties located northeast of the intersection of Lincoln Avenue
and Lemay Avenue, including maintaining the industrial designation and changing industrial to
residential or employment designations; and
WHEREAS,two of the properties are within a quarter mile distance of the Mulberry/Lemay
Crossing Shopping Center, which has the function and appearance of a Neighborhood Center and
is within easy walking distance of transit and a commercial district; and
WHEREAS, there are no other properties meeting these criteria available to accommodate
Medium Density Mixed Use Neighborhood(MMN)zoning in association with the Neighborhood
Commercial (NC) Zone District in this immediate area; and
WHEREAS,the Medium Density Mixed Use Neighborhood(M[M[N) land use designation
will provide a transition of land use between the existing industrial uses to the east and the existing
residential neighborhood to the north and the Structure Plan Map should be amended accordingly;
and
WHEREAS,the north easternmost portion(containing 6.47 acres)of the subject property of
the East Mulberry Corridor Plan rezoning, which was originally planned to be changed from the
Industrial(I)Zone District to the Employment(E)Zone District,would no longer be appropriate for
employment uses if the property to the south and west is placed in the Medium Density Mixed Use
Neighborhood(MMN)Zone District,nor should such property be zoned for residential uses because
of its close proximity to the neighboring airport; and
WHEREAS, for the foregoing reasons, the Council has determined that said northeastern-
most portion of the property should remain in the Industrial (I)Zone District and that the Structure
Plan should be amended accordingly; and
WHEREAS, the Council has determined that the proposed amendments to the City's
Structure Plan Map are in the best interests of the citizens of the City.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
COLLINS that the City's Structure Plan Map is hereby amended so as to appear as shown on Exhibit
A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held this 20th day of May,A.D.
2003.
