Pre -Submittal Meetings for Building Permits
Pre -Submittal meetings are offered to assist the designer/builder by assuring, early on in the
design, that the new commercial or multi -family projects are on track to complying with all of the
adopted City codes and Standards listed below. The proposed project should be in the early to
mid -design stage for this meeting to be effective and is typically scheduled after the Current
Planning conceptual review meeting.
Applicants of new commercial or multi -family projects are advised to call 416-2341 to schedule a
pre -submittal meeting. Applicants should be prepared to present site plans, floor plans, and
elevations and be able to discuss code issues of occupancy, square footage and type of
construction being proposed.
Construction shall comply with the following adopted codes as amended:
2009 International Building Code (IBC)

6. This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and easements that are necessary for this
project. It was brought up at the conceptual meeting held on 1/14/13 that there may be a need for an
emergency access easement per Poudre Fire Authority comments. This easement will need to be
dedicated by separate document. Please contact me for information on this process.
7. Depending on the extent of construction proposed a Development Construction Permit (DCP) or an
excavation permit may need to be obtained prior to starting any work on the site.

1. Since the request exceeds 80,000 in gross floor area, the review will be considered a Major Amendment
and subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Board. A neighborhood meeting is required unless the
Director determines that the development proposal would not have significant neighborhood impact.
2. As mentioned by Engineering, a consultation with the City's Traffic Engineer is recommended to determine
the scope of the Transportation Impact Study, The T.I.S, can range from a comprehensive analysis, to a
brief memo, or it may be waived. It may be helpful to establish a baseline as to number of employees,
number of parking spaces and how the employees are distributed across the various shifts. Then, the
new floor area and new number of employees can be projected on top of the baseline to help determine
the impact. It would be helpful to know what hours are assigned to each shift and what is the extent of the
shift overlap, if any.
3. The Major Amendment will include a revised Landscape Plan. Be sure to consider buffering the
residential area to the north to mitigate any perceived impacts that may be associated with building height,
mass, bulk, scale, noise, etc.
4. The revised Lighting Plan should also consider the residential area to the north so that there is no spillover
of illumination north of your property line.
5. The proposed development project is subject to a Type 1 review and public hearing, the decision maker
for Type 1 hearings is an Administrative Hearing Officer. The applicant for this development request is
not required to hold a neighborhood meeting for a Type 1 hearing, but if you would like to have one to
notify your neighbors of the proposal, please let me know and I can help you in setting a date, time and
location fora meeting. Neighborhood Meetings are a great way to get public feedback and avoid
potential issues that may occur later in the review process.
6. Please see the Development Review Guide at www.fcgov.com/drg. This online guide features a color
coded flowchart with comprehensive, easy to read information on each step in the process. This guide
includes links to just about every resource you need during development review.
7. This development proposal will be subject to all applicable standards of the Fort Collins Land Use Code
6. HMMP
An updated HMMP shall be submitted to the Poudre Fire Authority for review and approval.

1. The natural resources on the site are largely on the eastern border, Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch. As the
proposed expansion is in close proximity to Ziegler Road and almost 1/2 mile from the ditch, there are
no natural resources concerns because of the proposed expansion.
2. The applicant should make note of Article 3.2.1(C) that requires developments to submit plans that "...(4)
protects significant trees, natural systems, and habitat". Note that a significant tree is defined as a tree
having DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) of six inches or more. If any trees on site have a DBH of greater
than six inches, a review of the trees shall be conducted with Tim Buchanan, City Forester (221 6361) to
determine the status of the existing trees and any mitigation requirements as the result of development
impacts.
It appears the proposed expansion will be north of any significant trees, but if this is not the case, then a
site visit shall be scheduled with the City Forester.
3. With respect to landscaping and design, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, in Article 3.2.1 (E)(2)(3),
requires that you use native plants and grasses in your landscaping or re landscaping and reduce
bluegrass lawns as much as possible. Reveille Bluegrass is one option for having bluegrass lawns and
using less water.
4. The City's green building program has many programs that may benefit your project. Resources are
available at the Green Building web page: http://www.fcgov.com/greenbuilding/. Of particular interest
may be the Integrated Design Assistance Program, which offers financial incentives and free technical
support to those interested in delivering high performance buildings that exceed building code
requirements for energy performance. Gary Schroeder (970 221 6395) is the contact person for this
program. This is the direct link to the web page for this program: http://www.fcgov.com/conservation/biz

1. The addition to building 4 and the parking lot reconfiguration will affect the amount of impervious area on
the site. The drainage engineer will need to evaluate the effects of these changes and their impact to the
overall drainage system. A drainage letter prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado
is sufficient instead of a full drainage report. A grading plan is required as well.
2. When improvements are proposed to an existing developed site and there is an increase in impervious
area greater than 1000 square feet, additional onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release
rate or a release rate not to exceed 0.23 cfs/acre for water quantity. Parking lot detention for water
quantity is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. If there is less than 1000 but more than 350
square feet of new impervious area, a site grading plan is required along with the impervious area
documentation.
3. Additional water quality treatment may also be required as described in the Urban Storm Drainage
Criteria Manual, Volume 3 - Best Management Practices (BMPs).
(hftp://www. udfcd.org/downloads/down_critman ual_vol I I I.htm)
4. The Stormwater Utility anticipates that City Council will be approving new Low Impact Development (LID)
requirements that will go into effect in mid February 2013. Please contact Basil Harridan at 224-6035 or
bhamdan@fcgov.com for more information. The present draft requires that 50% of the new impervious
area must be treated by an LID method and 25% of new parking lots must be pervious. Once the
impervious area change has been calculated please contact Basil to determine the LID requirements.
(224-6035)
5. The city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $6,390.00lacre ($0.1467/sq.ft.) for new impervious
area over 350 sq.-ft., and there is a $1,045.00/acre ($0.024/sq.ft.) review fee. No fee is charged for
existing impervious area. These fees are to be paid at the time each building permit is issued.
