February 18, 2011
On Monday, March 7, 2011, at the Washington School, 223 South Shields Street,
Fort Collins, Colorado, the City of Fort Collins Current Planning Department will
conduct an open house and a neighborhood information meeting to discuss a
development proposal in your neighborhood. The project is referred to as
Washington School — Conversion to Colorado State University Early
Childhood Education Center.
There are two time slots and two formats being offered:
1. Open House — 3:00 to 5:30 p.m.
2. Meeting — 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.
Colorado State University and the Department of Human Development and
Family Studies are in the process of purchasing the Washington School from the
Poudre School District. The proposal is to convert the facility from a public
school for elementary education to a child care center/pre-school. The building
contains approximately 18,350 square feet on 1.75 acres on Block 7 of the Scott
Sherwood Subdivision. The building and playground would be preserved. The
site is located between Shields Street and Scott Street and bounded by Olive
Street and the east — west alley that bisects the block.
The site is zoned N-C-L, Neighborhood Conservation Low Density. This zone
normally does not allow child care center as a permitted use. The Zoning Code,
however, allows for the Addition of a Permitted Use process for individual
properties. The final decision would be made by the City of Fort Collins Planning
and Zoning Board. Please feel free to attend one or both of the meetings.
Sincerely:
Ted Shepard
Chief Planner
