been held. No neighborhood meeting was conducted. We don't propose any Type 2 (P&Z review) uses, and
therefore no neighborhood meeting is required.
(ix) Name of the project as well as any previous name the project may have had during Conceptual Review.
The project went to conceptual review on March 12, 2012 and was simply called "Third Street Subdivision."

district. Concentrate high -density residential within one -quarter (1/4) mile of existing and planned
transit stops to provide ease of access and to promote increased ridership over time.
• Principle LIV 6: Infill and redevelopment within residential areas will be compatible with the established
character of the neighborhood. In areas where the desired character of the neighborhood is not
established, or is not consistent with the vision of City Plan, infill and redevelopment projects will set an
enhanced standard of quality.
• Policy LIV 6.1—Types of Infill and Redevelopment in Residential Areas Infill and redevelopment in
residential areas may occur through:
a. The addition of new dwellings on vacant lots and other undeveloped parcels surrounded by
existing residential development.
b. Dwelling units added to existing houses (e.g., basement or upstairs apartments).
c. Small, detached dwellings added to lots of sufficient size with existing houses (e.g., "alley
houses" or "granny flats").
d. Expansion or redevelopment of properties.
e. Neighborhood -related, non-residential development.
• Policy LIV 6.2 — Seek Compatibility with Neighborhood.
Encourage design that complements and extends the positive qualities of surrounding development and
adjacent buildings in terms of general intensity and use, street pattern, and any identifiable style,
proportions, shapes, relationship to the street, pattern of buildings and yards, and patterns created by
doors, windows, projections and recesses. Compatibility with these existing elements does not mean
uniformity.
(ii) Description of proposed open space, wetlands, natural habitats and features, landscaping, circulation,
transition areas, and associated buffering on site and in the general vicinity of the project. The site is two
blocks away from Buckingham Park, Udall Natural Area, and the Poudre River trail.
(iii) Statement of proposed ownership and maintenance of public and private open space areas; applicant's
intentions with regard the future ownership of all or portions of the project development plan. The intent is
that each lot will eventually have a separate owner. It is not anticipated that any owners association will be
necessary.
(iv) Estimate of number of employees for business, commercial and industrial uses. There are no non-
residential uses proposed.
(v)Description of rationale behind the assumptions and choices made by the applicant. We feel that single-
family detached housing in the RL district, adjacent to an existing single family residential neighborhood is a
good fit.
(vi) The applicant shall submit as evidence of successful completion of the applicable criteria, the completed
documents pursuant to these regulations for each proposed use. The planning Director may require, or the
applicant may choose to submit, evidence that is beyond what is required in that section. Any variance from
the criteria shall be described. Please see our complete submittal. We feel we have submitted sufficient
evidence as required.
(vii) Narrative description of how conflicts between land uses or disturbances to wetlands, natural habitats
and features and or wildlife are being avoided to the maximum extent feasible or are mitigated. We feel that
the adjacent Industrial zoned property, which has Odell Brewery, will make a compatible neighbor. Their
building is attractive, and the brewery has a relatively low impact to residential uses. We don't propose any
disturbances to natural features.

Project Description
This combined PDP/Final request is to subdivide and existing vacant unplatted lot into two single family
detached residential lots. As is allowed in the LUC, only single family detached residential lots are being
created, and the houses are not yet designed therefore are not shown on the site plans, and nobuilding
elevations are yet proposed. The review of the building placement and building elevations is done at
the time of building permit for single family detached residential developments.

1(d). Statement of Planning Objectives.
(i) The following Principles and Policies are achieved by the proposed plan:
Principle LIV 5: The City will promote redevelopment and infill in areas identified on the Targeted Infill
and Redevelopment Areas Map.
Policy LIV 5.1— Encourage Targeted Redevelopment and Infill
Encourage redevelopment and infill in Activity Centers and Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas
identified on the Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas Map (See Figure LIV 1). The purpose of
these areas is to: Promote the revitalization of existing, underutilized commercial and industrial
areas. Concentrate higher density housing and mixed -use development in locations that are currently
or will be served by high frequency transit in the future and that can support higher levels of activity.
Channel development where it will be beneficial and can best improve access to jobs, housing, and
services with fewer and shorter auto trips. Promote reinvestment in areas where infrastructure
already exists. Increase economic activity in the area to benefit existing residents and businesses and,
where necessary, provide the stimulus to redevelop. Areas identified on the Targeted Infill and
Redevelopment Areas Map are parts of the city where general agreement exists that redevelopment
and infill would be beneficial. These areas are generally considered a priority for efforts to reduce
barriers and concentrate public investment in infrastructure. However, of the areas identified, the
—community spinell (see Policy LIV 5.2) shall be the highest priority location for such efforts. Areas
not shown on the Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas map are not excluded from
redevelopment and infill activity, but are considered to be lower priority or where activity is less likely
to occur for other reasons. (Also see the Economic Health chapter's policies related to infill and
redevelopment).
• Policy LIV 31.7 — Housing
Incorporate a variety of housing options in Commercial Districts as infill and redevelopment occur
over time: Residential units may be incorporated on upper floors of mixed -use buildings at the core of
the Commercial District or in freestanding residential buildings along district edges. Residential
housing types along district edges should be compatible with the scale and massing of surrounding
neighborhoods. Incorporate residential amenities such as convenient parking, parks, plazas or other
open spaces, gathering places, and recreation facilities to enhance the living experience in the
