The existing streets will be enhanced by abiding to the latest ROW standards and incorporating existing trees on the site to enhance the new sidewalks. Policy LIV 22.1-Vary Housing Models and Types • The development consists of 5 buildings that incorporate the detail of craftsman style architecture. The variation in details, colors, balconies and roofs bring a variation to the streetscape. The style of building reflects similar styles located in the neighborhood. Policy LIV 22.2 - Provide Creative Multi -Family Housing Design • The project has developed S multi family homes versus i large building on the site. Each building has its own carriage style street lamp post leading up to the buildings front porches. These characteristics reflect the neighboring single family homes. Policy LIV 43.3 - Support Transit -Supportive Development Patterns • The corner of South Shields and Springfield is an ideal site to support transit supportive development patterns. We are located near transit and close to bike trails for the apartment users to have easy access to. PolicyT3.4 -Travel Demand Management • Our site is located close to the University which will help manage development in a manner that minimizes automobile dependence West Central Neighborhood Design Attributes Policy PD 4 - Pedestrian priority areas along the site will have new sidewalks with wider widths to make saferpedestrian traffic around the site and through it. Policy F7 - Endorses higher density near the University. Our site is in close proximity to the campus as well as has connections to transit and bike lines to encourage a safe site forstudent housing. HO 4 - Encourages multi family development in deteriorated properties close to CSU which is what our project is doing. Future Housing Needs (B) - Encourages small scale apartment buildings to reflect with the surrounding buildings Housing Design (B) — Our development is in close proximity to CSU and will be student apartments which are encouraged to be stories or more. With our project along Shields street and near other residential we thought that3 stories was the appropriate scale for the site and to maximize student housing that is desired.

The concerns that the neighbors have brought up include the following: • Our design proposal at our first neighborhood meeting was to site i large building on the site. After much resistance from the neighbors we are proposing 5 separate buildings. The layout of the buildings on the site will relate to the adjacent single family homes and keep in characteristic of the neighborhood. • Height of the buildings— we have kept the buildings under the qo' height limit and have reduced the height of the 'White Building'to the West so that the project massing steps down a few more feet to the neighbor on that side. • Parking —the neighbors were concerned about residents parking on the street in front of their homes. We have strived to park as many cars onto our site as possible to help keep what we can on our property. We have also provided ample bike racks forthe residents. We feel with the location of this property, many of the residents will take public transportation or walk to their destinations. • During our second neighborhood meeting we received comments about the location of our trash enclosure. We have listened to the neighbors and have moved the trash enclosure away from the neighboring properties and located it to the South West of building one. This location is convenient forthe tenants as well as the trash truck to enter and exit the site. • We have talked closely with our neighbor to the West and have discussed how to berm up the hill between the property line and our parking to provide a nice landscape buffer. Trees will be located on this berm to help buffer the properties. We will have a six foot high fence along the West and South properties lines to help separate the properties and block the headlights of the cars in the parking lot. Planning Objectives: The City Plan design attributes are listed in the following policies below are the objectives that we have strived to address in this submittal. Policy EH y.i -Prioritize Targeted Redevelopment Areas • This development is located on the corner of Springfield Drive and South Shields street which falls into the targeted infill area. The run down houses on the site will be replaced with new houses to connect to the surround neighborhood and offices neighboring the project. 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 i). • The city encourages higher density in locations on transit lines and where existing infrastructure existing. The higher density housing located on this site is in close proximity to the university for easy access for tenants Policy LIV 6.1-Types of Infill and Redevelopment in Residential Areas • Expand underutilized parcels that are surrounded by existing residential development. The multifamily development will add more dwelling units to the area while reflecting the neighborhoods character. Policy LIV 7.2—Develop an Adequate Supply of Housing • The development provides 57 units and 97 bedrooms to help add to and maintain an adequate supply of multi- family units. Policy LIV 7.7—Accommodate the Student Population • This development helps to bring more apartments to the area and place students into appropriate housing types versus neighboring single family homes located near the university. Policy LIV io.i -Design Safe, Functional, and Visually Appealing Streets ta. t9..otz Page 3aiy p.imta\ii..'I on 1319 shields - student housin9ii13t_ptoject manyement\submittals to city ui fastat0menl or planning obje,tws,.doa storage is required on this site. We have provided 59 enclosed spaces within the building structures (we have 97 bedrooms total, so this equates to over 6o% of the bedrooms having a storage space under the roof), and additionally, we have located a minimum of yo fixed bicycle racks outside throughout the site for easy access. Site Plan: The concept of the site design is to allocate the density into structures that are more compatible with the square feet of homes. We have endeavored to maintain space between the buildings as well as gracious set -backs consistent with the adjacent lots. The proposed site layout places the front facades of the buildings toward Springfield to relate to the neighborhood context. We have designed the buildings to have front porches which face the street and to create an inviting sense of arrival. The placement of the buildings and the scale we have developed them at is consistent with intent of the principals and policies outlined in the city plan document which seeks to create a strong streetscape. Ourfront setback is contextual to the izoi W. Springfield home immediatelyto the West, which we have measured atthirty feet. The subject property building facades along Springfield are currently thirty-one feet (31'-0") from our property line. Our side yard setback is set to fifteen feet (3.5'-0") from S. Shields street and our structures are fifteen feet (15'-0") from the neighboring lot to the South on S. Shields. Building Design and Materials: The architecture is sensitive to the neighborhood context and all of the building facades are well articulated. The style of the buildings is reminiscent of the 'shingle/ craftsman style'. In this architecture, there is a richness to the material pallet and a sense of crafted details that give a sense of scale to the buildings. The massing of the buildings use traditional forms such as hip and gable roofs, heavy grounded bases, timber bracket details and cozy covered front -porch features. We have used a variety of materials and colors to enhance the articulated facades, creating different textures within a well thought out composition. It is the intent that the two types of buildings are different in their look and material composition, yet that they blend together into one streetscape composition. We have carefully selected a variety of materials to ensure this. These include the following: • White Building: We have designed this building to have a natural color Sunset Stone base with a non- combustible siding in two styles and colors. The stone will be similar to Dakota Stone from Masonville which is used on many buildings in the city. We have both a horizontal lap siding and a shingle siding at the accent gables arid are suggesting a pallet in buff ortaupe tones to blend with the natural stone. Additionally, we have a combination of stained rough -sawn wood timbers and non-combustible stained fascia boards for the building railings, trim and accent brackets. The roof is made up of simple asphalt shingles and is low in pitch to reflect the craftsman style. • Green Building: This building has a brick base in dark red tone and also has a combination of a non- combustible siding in two styles and colors. We have both a horizontal lap siding and a shingle siding at the accent gables and are suggesting a pallet in green tones to contrast with the red brick colors similarto the buildings on the campus of CSU. Additionally, we have a combination of stained rough -sawn wood timbers and non-combustible stained fascia boards forthe building railings, trim and accent brackets. The roof is asphalt shingles and is low in pitch to reflect the craftsman style. Landscape and Hardscaoe: The landscape is important to our proposal as well. The site has a beautiful row of Orchard trees to the North along Springfield. We have endeavored to keep these trees and have designed them into the site plan. Additionally, we meetthe codes required for landscaping in this zone district with our plan. It is also an important design idea of our proposal that the buildings each have a'walk'that attaches to the sidewalk on Springfield and creates a path to the front porches of each structure. This will be lit with residential style sidewalk lamp post and will create a neighborhood feel. To the North along the parking lot, we will have walks leading to each building and connecting to the parking. Between these walks will be landscape areas with a combination of grass, bushes and trees. s±.aq.±ou Page aci5 p:\±o uVS±[ vgvoo igaq shields - shiden[ housng4agi_project manayem?ci\suhmittals m riry of is\s:atemem of plannlnq objec:ives.docx Attachment 5 ARCHITECTURE URBAN DESIGN ® INTERIOR DESIGN December3.9, 2012 Mr. Ted Shepard Chief Planner Community Developer and Neighborhood Services 281. North College Avenue PO Box 58o Fort Collins, CO 80522 Reference: Carriage House Apartment Homes, 3305-1339 S. Sheilds, Fort Collins, CO Statement of Planning Objectives Dear Mr. Shepard We are pleased to submit the Project Development Plan for Carriage House Apartment Homes, a proposed student apartment community. The development is located at the addresses of 1305 -1319 South Shields Street at the site of (3) existing residences at the southwest corner of Springfield Drive and South Shields Street. The property is currently located in the NCB zone with a TOD overlay. The neighborhood character includes multi -family condominium buildings, single family homes and limited commercial uses. We have outlined belowthe key elements of our proposal. Demolition Plans: The property is currently occupied by existing one and two story wood frame homes. The proposal includes the demolition of existing structures that have been deemed non -historical. Program and Unit Mix: Our proposal includes five (5) multi -family apartment buildings comprised of two (2) different footprints and elevation styles. There are two (2)'Green Buildings' containing 14 units each, and three (3)'White Buildings' which have io units each. The new buildings are two different heights. The'White Building' is three (3) stories over a garden level and the 'Green Building' is three (3) stories over a basement. The five (S) buildings combined will contain (57) apartment homes broken out as follows: • Twenty-nine (29) i-Bedroom dwelling units, thirteen (13) of these are garden level (below grade) • Sixteen (i6) 2-Bedroom dwelling units, two (2) of these are garden level (below grade) • Twelve (12) 3-Bedrooms dwelling units • Ninety-seven (97) total bedrooms Accessibility: The buildings abide by Appendix M: Colorado Title 9 Article 5 — standards for accessible housing. With 57 total units we have to meet 24 Accessibility points. We have completed this with 2 Type A units worth 6 points each, and 4 Type B units worth 4 points each for a total 28 points. The buildings, as proposed, contain a combination of both Type A and Type B units perthe current codes. Parking: The project site is located within the NCB zone with a TOD overlay, thus no parking is required perthe current codes. Despite this zoning, we are working towards maximizing the amount of parking that we can have on this site. We currently have 34 standard spaces, 25 compact spaces and 3 ADA spaces for a total of 62 on -site parking stalls.
