character as well as the existing neighborhood character, through integration of
craftsman/farm detailing and building types.
Jessup Farm Artisan Village
The Jessup Farm Artisan Village acts as the neighborhood center for the overall
Buckinghorse project. This is driven by the objective of the adaptive re -use of the farm
structures, consistent with goals from City Plan and Historic Preservation Staff. The re-
use of the farm house buildings, most of which remain in their current location, creates a
historic basis and theme for the overall project and promotes a sense of community
heritage — representing one of the most unique adaptive re -use projects in the
community.
The existing farm buildings will serve as retail spaces for boutique retailers, most of
which will utilize organic plants and other produce from the farm plots to the north of the
retail space. The existing farm house will be renovated to include a farm to fork
restaurant using produce from it's adjacent garden plots. At the corner of Blackbird Drive
and Timberline, a childcare facility is proposed, complementing the architectural
character of the farm buildings and providing an additional, much needed and
convenient neighborhood amenity. The facility will be separated from the retail space by
the parking lot and will occupy its own space with a large outdoor fenced area proposed
to the east of the building. Hours of operation of this facility will generally be 8am -5 or
6pm.
The light industrial use to the northeast of the Artisan Village is relatively isolated and
separated with a hillside to create finished floor elevations approximately 15' below the
grade of the Artisan Village. These uses will be limited to indoors and will complement
many of the retail uses above with tenants holding similar values and using organic
plants and produce in their products. The entries to the facility will face the Artisan
Village with service and loading docks facing the railroad. Architecture will deviate from
standard light industrial building types with some articulation, and roof line variation such
as clear story windows and dormers, reflecting an agricultural building type. Operating
hours for this area will likely extend beyond normal business hours, with some tenants
operating shifts 24 hours. The separation inherent in the facility makes these hours
feasible and compatible with residential and retail.
Public spaces will be included throughout the Jessup Farm Artisan Village plaza with a
variety of cafe seating types, overlooks, children's play area and plazas/walkways.
The Jessup Farm Artisan Village plaza will allow for small farmer's markets and other
events and will be themed around the existing farm character. Edible plants, gardens
and spaces for displayed goods will create a retail plaza unique to any in Fort Collins.
Architecturally, the adaptive re -use of existing Farm buildings as commercial/retail
architecture as well as other farm-themed architecture will be a departure from most
existing commercial buildings within the City. The re -use strategy will include insulation
from the interior walls and exterior roofs, preserving all existing siding, trim, and
fenestration and access patterns. The exposed beams will be preserved from the
interior. The existing brick farmhouse will be fully renovated for restaurant use.
Buckinghorse Townhomes
The Buckinghorse Townhomes are designed to either front the east -west streets
connecting to Timberline or the community lawn areas provided within each Townhome
block. The community lawn areas will front Scarecrow Road, providing a visual open -
space amenity to the residents of the community.
Townhomes are accessed through an enhanced alley connection off of Scarecrow
Road. These access drives will be paved with scored colored concrete and bordered by
an intensively planted landscape edge. The garages are setback an average of 20' from
the drive, to create a residential lane not dominated aesthetically by garage frontage.
The access drive also provides additional parking for guests or as overflow at the rear of
each block near screened trash enclosures.
The community green for each block is organized by a central activity lawn bordered by
a 4' walk connecting to the pedestrian walks at Scarecrow Road. Along the western
edge of the lawn of each block is a community plaza for neighborhood gathering,
socializing and events. Each of these areas will contain a fireplace, movable seating,
seating boulders, with native planting, and two community garden plots. Planting within
the community green will emphasize native and edible plants with fruit trees.
Townhome architecture will emphasize articulated building frontages to avoid large
uninterrupted massing. The individual units will read through articulation and gable roof
forms, with detailing consistent with the predominant craftsman style currently found
within the overall development. Large porch spaces are emphasized at the ground floor
and are complemented by small private outdoor spaces separated from the community
green with a 3-4' rail fence. The community green is accessible from each of these
private spaces.
Buckinghorse Residences
The Buckinghorse Residences are intended to build on the character of the existing
Sidehill community single family housing. Within the residences, there are both small
and medium size lots.
Roadway character will emphasize street trees within lawn parkways separating the
street from the pedestrian walk. Street trees along the primary roadway will consist of
canopy shade trees with fruit and ornamental trees clustered to accent corner
treatments. The pedestrian walkways link to open space trail connections that lead
pedestrians to the Jessup Farm Artisan Village neighborhood center, the neighborhood
park, the Community Farm and the City Park at the south east portion of the property.
Residents can access these trails and enter open spaces consisting of native grasses,
shrubs and trees, for a natural area type experience.
Architecture will emphasize the craftsman style dominant within the current development
with 15-20' porch setbacks, large porches, and recessed garages. Particular effort will
be made to ensure garages are not the dominant visual element from the roadway. All
garages will be setback a minimum of 8' from the primary building face. The additional
6' minimum porches will further enhance this setback effect.
The adaptive re -use of the Jessup Farm buildings will create a unique, yet compatible
architectural theme and help establish a greater sense of place for the entire
Buckinghorse. Neighborhood. New architectural features will respect the Jessup Farm
