The development will eventually provide employment opportunities for nearly eighty people through out the various shifts during a twenty-four hour period. (v) Description of rationale behind the assumptions and choices made by the applicant. The development ownership has a long and successful history of projects in the Fort Collins area and vicinity. The choices concerning the location are based on the proposed uses and their projected need in the area. (vi) The applicant shall submit as evidence of successful completion of the applicable criteria, the completed documents pursuant to these regulations for each proposed use. The Planning Director may require, or the applicant may choose to submit, evidence that is beyond what is required in that section. Any variance from the criteria shall be described. To the best of our knowledge, no variations from the criteria have been identified. The proposal has been modified to accommodate the comments and concerns presented at the Concept Review meeting. Buildings have been added to meet the "build -to" line standards. Although "build -to" requirements dictate that the comer of the site be occupied by a building, an existing storm drainage feature existing in this location, prevents such a use in that location. An internal loop has been added for emergency access and internal traffic flow. Although the site will contain secondary uses, those uses meet the restriction of being less than 25% of the total development of the total area of the shopping area. (vii) Narrative description of how conflicts between land uses or disturbances to wetlands, natural habitats and features and or wildlife are being avoided to the maximum extent feasible or are mitigated. A meeting on the site with the City's Environmental Planner revealed that the majority of the easement for wild life along the ditch is provided by the property that contains the ditch's road. Proposed landscaping adjacent to the west property line will enhance the wildlife habitat along the ditch. No wetlands exist on the site. (viii) Written narrative addressing each concern/issue raised at the neighborhood meeting(s), if a meeting has been held. The neighborhood meeting resulted in a request to provide a security fence along the north and a portion of the west property line to mitigate security and safety concerns for the children from the neighbors north of the development. It was agreed in the meeting to provide this protection. A fence separating the site from the use to the north is required by planning, but the use of the fence for security means necessitates an uninterrupted fence.
