Re: North College Marketplace - Addition of Permitted Uses, #23-08
Dear Blaine,
Loveland Commercial LLC (Applicant) submitted a request for Addition of Permitted Uses to the City of Fort
Collins on August 1, 2008. The request was to add Drive-in Restaurants and Gasoline Stations land uses
on properties zoned CCN, Community Commercial North College at the northeast corner of North College
Avenue and East Willox Lane in Fort Collins, Colorado. The request went through the City's standard
development review process, ultimately going before the Planning & Zoning Board on August 21, 2008 for
deliberation and a decision. At this public hearing the Board heard presentations from City staff and the
Applicant. Testimony was received from the public in attendance. After lengthy deliberation the Board voted 5 - 2
to approve the request for the Addition of Permitted Uses, with two (2) conditions:
* The first condition is the recommendation outlined in Interim Planning Director Steve Olt's August 21, 2008
memorandum: Condition of Approval for the North College Marketplace - Addition of Permitted Uses, # 23-08
that basically states this would be in conjunction with an approved anchor store of not less than 45,001 square
feet in size in the center.
* The second condition would be revision of the Project Description found on page 1 of the Staff Report. The
revision would read: "This is a request to add Drive-in Restaurants and Gasoline Stations as an Addition of
Permitted Uses in the Community Commercial North College zone district specifically for the property at the
northeast corner of North College Avenue and East Willox Lane (STRIKING excluding the existing North College
Motors and Pobre Pancho's properties). The property is undeveloped; however, a supermarket -anchored
shopping center is being proposed. This request for the addition of permitted use includes restaurants with drive-
in/through facilities and gasoline stations. More specifically, the proposed permitted uses would allow for a
maximum of one (1) gasoline station and (STRIKING four (4)) drive-in restaurants. The request is intended to
further facilitate the redevelopment of a critical property within the North College Avenue Corridor. The parcel is
approximately 26 acres in size and zoned CCN, Community Commercial North College.
STRIKE (excluding the existing North College Motors and Pobre Pancho's properties) parenthetical in
