Subject: Support for The District at Campus West
Ted,
I want to express my support for the project called The District at Campus West. This
project works so well on many levels that it will be of great benefit to our neighborhood
and community:
-It meets the vision for this area as expressed in the West Central Neighborhoods Plan.
It provides convenient, well located high density residential development with all the
amenities of state of the art student housing.
-It redevelops an area that is underutilized and in great need of such up upgrade and
makeover.
-It successfully addresses the principles and policies of City Plan.
-It meets and often exceeds the standards of the Land Use Code.
-It is located in the Transit Overlay District, providing much desired opportunities for
use of transportation alternatives. It further facilitates alternative transportation by
its provision for bicycle use far in excess of the LUC standard,
-It can serve as an example of how the infill and redevelopment concept as envisioned by
the Planned Development Overlay District can be implemented.
-By its development as a silver LEED project it addresses energy efficiency standards
which are and will increasingly become essential to maintaining our community in a
sustainable fashion.
-It can serve as an example and set a standard of the type of redevelopment that our
community expects in order to address our future needs.
-It addresses a long neglected need for appropriate student housing for our community and
in so doing it provides the opportunity to re-establish the function of nearby single
family neighborhoods as affordable housing for a broad range of citizens of Fort Collins.
Thank you consideration of my views on this project.
Regards,
Lloyd Walker
