North College Avenue and surrounding developments. The Applicant has worked with
staff to develop a landscape planting plan utilizing perimeter and internal landscaping
to provide. a visual buffer from adjacent developments. In addition, the King Soopers
building serves as a visual and sound barrier between the adjacent neighborhoods and
the Discount Tire building.

development, an acoustical study which identifies noise levels associated with the
proposed use has been submitted to demonstrate that objectionable noise levels do not
travel offsite. As identified within this study, noise levels at the property line dissipate to
those equivalent to a normal person to person conversation.
Neighborhood Involvement / Feedback
A list of Affected Property Owners (APOs) was developed with staff and a Neighborhood
Meeting was conducted on September 61h, 2012. Attendance of the meeting was limited
to one individual of the notified APOs, who was also a member of the North Fort Collins
Business Association. No concerns or objections were received from this the sole
attendee.

development approval requirements. Construction of the proposed facility typically
consists of an approximate 6 month schedule which is completed within a single phase.
The tentative construction commencement date is set for summer 2013 pending
approval.
Conflicts and Resolution
No known conflicts with respect to site access and circulation, the overall development
layout and design and/or development of the site have been identified at this time.

Discount Tire at North College Marketplace
Dear Mr. Holland,
Pursuant to the requirements of the City of Fort Collins, please accept this formal submittal
package for review and approval of the attached Project Development Plan (PDP) and
Addition of a Permitted Use applications. Following is a brief summary of the proposed
development.
Project Description
Discount Tire intends to develop Lot 7 of the North College Marketplace — Second Filing
located approximately at the northeast corner of North College Avenue and East Willox
Lane. The ±1.19 acre lot is zoned Community Commercial — North College (C-C-N). It is
understood that the proposed Discount Tire use is classified as a "retail store with
vehicle servicing", which is not a permitted use within the current C-C-N zoning district.
Statement of City Plan Principles and Policies
As outlined above, concurrent applications for a Project Development Plan as well as
Addition of a Permitted Use have been submitted for staff review. As a part of the
Addition of a Permitted Use, a letter outlining compliance with the City Plan Principles
and Policies has been submitted for review.
Description of Operations
The proposed Discount Tire services will consist of tire change and repair only. No
additional automotive mechanical repair or auto body services will be provided.
Standard Discount Tire hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 6:00
pm and Saturdays 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, which are staffed through an average of 6-10
employees.
Site Design and Architecture
The Applicant has partnered with staff specifically related to the site layout, architecture
and landscaping through a series of iterations to achieve project compatibility with the
overall development as well as sensitivity to adjacent developments. The site layout was
developed to orient the building service bays internal to the development and away
from North College Avenue. Landscaping has been designed to complement the overall
development while provide a visual screen through the use of tiered perimeter and
internal landscaping.
The architecture has been designed to complement the established architectural
character of adjacent development within North College Marketplace as well as achieve
the architectural intent of the concept approved for the overall development plan.
