On Thursday, February 16, 2012, at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 300 West LaPorte
Avenue, the Planning and Zoning Board of the City of Fort Collins will hold a public hearing regarding a
Modification of Standards requests associated with the Carriage House Apartments project located at
1305 and 1319 South Shields Street. The hearing is regarding a request for a "stand-alone" Modification
of Standards to Section 3.4.7 Cultural and Historic Resources, of the Land Use Code (LUC).
Modification of Standards (sometimes referred to as variances) are needed when a developer either
chooses or needs to address a specific standard in the LUC differently than the exact way the LUC
requires. The Carriage House Apartments project in its' entirety is not being considered at the Planning
and Zoning Board hearing on February 16, 2012, only the granting of modifications requests will be
heard at this time.
The February 16, 2012, hearing will consider the following Modification of Standard requests:
1. Because the proposal is demolishing the existing historic structure, the request is to not provide
for the preservation and adaptive use of the historic structure, to the maximum extent feasible,
and to not protect and enhance the existing historical and architecture value of the property
(Section 3.4.7(B)); and
2. To allow the demolition of an individually eligible local landmark property (Section 3.4.7(E)).
For additional information, the cited Land Use Code Sections in question above are available for your
review at: http://www.colocode.com/ftcollins/landuse
Additionally, a decision on only the modifications in question (not the entire project) will result from this
public hearing. At the hearing, you will be given the opportunity to state your views about the
modifications in question as they relate to the project. If the modifications are not approved, the project
can not move forward as currently proposed.
Finally, the notification mailing list for public hearings is derived from official records of the Larimer
County Assessor. Because of the lag time between home occupancy and record keeping, a few property
owners may have been missed. Please feel free to notify your neighbor of this pending hearing. If you
have any questions regarding this hearing or the project, please contact me directly at (970) 416-2283.
Sincerely,
Courtney Levingston, LEED AP ND
City Planner
