Dear Mr. Hendricks,
This letter is with regards to the Caribou Apartments, Project Development Plan
(PDP) that is currently in the City of Fort Collins, Final Plan development review
process. The development proposal is for 193 multi -family residential dwelling units, in
6 separate buildings, on a 10.25 acre site located at the southwest corner of South
Timberline Road and Caribou Drive in Fort Collins, Colorado. The property is located in
the E - Employment Zoning District in the City. There are 87 of the total of 193
dwelling units that are considered to be affordable units, based the average median
income level.
The proposed multi -family residential land use on the property is permitted in the E -
Employment Zoning District, subject to a Planning & Zoning Board review and public
hearing. The development proposal satisfies all applicable requirements and standards
set forth in ARTICLE 3 - GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS and DIVISION 4.22 -
EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT of the City's Land Use Code (LUC). As set forth in Section
4.22(D)(2) - Secondary Uses of the LUC, all residential uses are considered secondary
uses and shall occupy no more than 25% of the total gross area of the development
plan. In this case, the multi -family use constitutes 100% of the development plan. A
request for a modification of this standard was submitted and evaluated as part of the
PDP. The City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board, as the decision maker on the
PDP and modification request, approved both the Caribou Apartments, PDP and the
associated modification of standard at their public hearing on August 17, 2006.
Please call me at (970)221-6341 if you have additional questions or need further
assistance regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
