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." 1(e). Response to Conceptual Comments. Attached. 1(f). New Street Names.

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. Buckingham Place,Second Filing (PDP/Final) Project Description & Written Documents 11/7/2012 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.

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
