Home My WebLink AboutCHICK-FIL-A, MINOR AMENDMENT - MA0900004 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - APPLICATIONc. an established pattern of existing buildings that makes a pedestrian -oriented streetfront infeasible. The section further states that such an alternative to the street sidewalk must include a connecting walkway(s) and may include internal walkways or other directly connecting outdoor spaces such as plazas, courtyards, squares or gardens. It has been determined that, if an enhanced pedestrian crosswalk (raised, different material and/or color, etc.) is provided across the exit drive -through lane, then a modification of this standard will not be required. This would enable the proposal to be reviewed as a Minor Amendment. 6. I understand that Helen Migchelbrink, Director of Engineering, has forwarded to you a letter stating that the City will not require any additional street ROW for West Horsetooth Road as part of the Chick-Fil-A submittal. It is important, however, to provide enough setback from the ROW for sufficient buffering and screening of the drive -through lane from West Horsetooth Road. A minimum 5' setback, with landscaping and possibly a freestanding wall, is needed to ensure proper screening of vehicles in the drive -through from the street, especially at night when there will be headlights going towards one another. 7. There are several standards set forth in various sections of the LUC that are very relevant and must be addressed with your Minor Amendment submittal. They are: * Section 3.5.1(I)(1) states that trash collection or compaction shall not be located within 20' of any public street, public sidewalk, or internal pedestrian way. * Section 3.53(C) of the LUC sets forth variation in building massing standards. * Section 3.5.3(D) of the LUC sets forth standards relating to site specific design, building facade treatment, building entrances, awnings, building base and top treatments, encroachments, drive -through lane width limitations, and illumination (lighting) prohibitions. * Section 4.21(E) in the Commercial District section of the LUC sets forth several Development Standards that you should be aware of. City staff can and will be available to meet with you if any further clarification of our position is necessary as you prepare your Minor Amendment submittal package. We do look forward to working with you on this project. Sincerely, #OR Steve Olt, Interim Current Planning Director cc: Jeff Scheick, PDT Director Helen Migchelbrink, Engineering Sheri Langenberger, Engineering Randy Maizland, Engineering Peter Barnes, Zoning preclude any greater deviation from the standards of this Land Use Code by reason of such amendments)." 3. Based on a conceptual plan discussed at our September 23`d meeting, it appears that the drive-in restaurant building and drive -through lane would satisfy the "build -to" line requirement set forth in Section 3.5.3(13)(2)(c) of the LUC, which requires at least 30% of the proposed building to be located at least 10' and no more than 25' behind the right-of- way (ROW) line of the adjoining street (Horsetooth Road). On the plan it appears to be 22' - 2T from the ROW line. Due to the existing Larimer County No. 2 Canal east of the site the proposed drive-in restaurant development cannot (and will not be required to) satisfy the build -to line standard for South College Avenue. 4. The drive-in restaurant building and drive -through lane as shown on the aforementioned conceptual plan do not satisfy the Orientation to a Connecting Walkway requirement set forth in Section 3.5.3(B)(1) of the LUC. This section states (in part): At least one main entrance of any commercial or mixed -use building shall face and open directly onto a connecting walkway with pedestrian frontage. Based on Figure 10 in this section it appears that the conceptual plan would not directly satisfy this standard. There is a sidewalk on the south, front entry side of the building; however, for pedestrians to access the north — south sidewalk to West Horsetooth Road on the west side of the site they must cross the exit drive -through lane. If an enhanced pedestrian crosswalk (raised, different material and/or color, etc.) is provided then a modification of this standard will not be required, enabling the proposal to be reviewed as a Minor Amendment. Also, some form of signage notifying drivers exiting the drive - through of the pedestrian crossing would be a significant benefit. The island containing the north - south sidewalk should be widened by at least 3' to include some shrub materials between the sidewalk and the drive -through lane. 5. The drive-in restaurant building, drive -through lane, and sidewalk network as shown on the aforementioned conceptual plan do not satisfy the Orientation to Build -to Lines for Streetfront Buildings requirement set forth in Section 3.53(13)(2) of the LUC. This section states: "Build -to lines based on a consistent relationship of buildings to the street sidewalk shall be established by development projects for new buildings and, to the extent reasonably feasible, by development projects for additions or modifications of existing buildings, in order to form visually continuous, pedestrian -oriented streetfronts with no vehicle use area between building faces and the street." This section of the LUC does have exceptions to the build -to line standards that shall be permitted. In Section 3.5.3(B)(2)(d)2 it states that if the building abuts a four -lane or six - lane arterial street, and the Director has determined that an alternative to the street sidewalk better serves the purpose of the connecting commercial destinations due to one or more of the following constraints: a. high volume and/or speed of traffic on the abutting street(s), b. landform, City of Fort Colho ns October 2, 2008 Allen Ginsborg Managing Director & Principal NewMark Merrill Mountain States 5700 Hearthstone Circle Fort Collins, CO 80528 Dear Mr. Ginsborg, Planning, Development and Transportation Services Current Planning 281 North College Ave. P.O.

Regarding Minor Amendments, Section 2.2.10(A) of the Land Use Code (LUC) states: "Minor amendments to any approved development plan, including any Overall Development Plan or Project Development Plan, or any site specific development plan (except replats) may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied administratively by the Director and may be authorized without additional public hearings.

The ITE Land Use #934, "Fast -Food Restaurant with Drive -Through Window` is applicable for this proposed development. When the ITE average pass -by trip reduction is taken, the primary trips associated with this site would consist of 1042 over an average weekday. This includes 112 AM Peak Hour trips and 73 PM Peak Hour Trips. Changes in Trip Generation This proposed project is anticipated to generate additional trips over the previous land use. During the critical Peak Hours, the proposed Chick Fil-A restaurant is projected to generate approximately 79 additional trips in the AM Peak Hour and 41 additional trips in the PM Peak Hour. While the AM Peak Hour shows an increase of approximately 79 trips, I believe this estimate is high as I don't think Chick Fil-A is noted for their breakfast service. The increase in PM Peak traffic of 19 inbound trips and 22 outbound trips (total 41 trips) is not a significant increase in traffic. In addition, there will most likely be some internally captured trips to this site. Visitors to the shopping center would visit more than one of the land uses on the site. This is very common with fast-food restaurants. Therefore, the number of new trips could be even less than outlined above. Conclusion: The replacement of the existing restaurant facility with the proposed Chick Fil-A restaurant results in minor increases in traffic to the site and can most likely be handled by the surrounding roadway system. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Drexel, Barrell & Co. Ann Bowers, P.E., PTOE Transportation Department Head Encl.

The proposed drive -through restaurant is proposed to locate on the now vacant "Nate's Restaurant" site. This memorandum addresses the anticipated differences in trip generation between the previous land use and the current anticipated land use. Previous Land Use and Trip Generation This parcel currently has an unoccupied restaurant building. Per Larimer County Assessor data, this building is approximately 5,000 square feet in size. The existing building on this site includes a 5,022 square foot restaurant facility. Per the 7th Edition, 2003, of Trio Generation Manual (ITE), published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, this land use would classify as land use code #932, "High -Turnover (Sit -Down) Restaurant". Per ITE's Trip Generation Handbook, 2001, a reduction in trips was applied via pass -by trips. If occupied, this building would generate approximately 363 weekday trips — which includes 33 AM Peak Hour trips and 32 PM Peak Hour Trips. Please refer to Table 1 — Estimated Project Generated Traffic, for the trip generation estimates.
