On Wednesday, July 11, at 5:15 p.m., in the Community Room at 215 Mason Street, a
City of Fort Collins Hearing Officer will conduct a public administrative hearing to
consider a change of use from office to a child care center at 1247 Riverside Avenue.
This project is also known as "Little Bear's Child Care Change of Use, Project
Development Plan, # PDP120017".
The project is proposing to remodel the existing 7,559 square foot existing building
(formerly the Children's Speech Therapy Center and Green Path Financial Counseling
Services) for use as a child care center. The existing building will remain, with minor
exterior remodeling, primarily on the west elevation. In addition, the adjacent vacant lot
to the south at 1230 East Elizabeth Street will be developed as the child care center's
outdoor playground. The playground would have a 6 foot chain link fence around the
perimeter and consist of natural play features. The site is zoned Employment (E), and
child care centers are permitted in the Employment Zone .District, subject to an
administrative review and public hearing.
In terms of operational characteristics, Little Bear's Child Care would operate Monday —
Friday, from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and provide child care for infants, toddlers and pre-
schoolers. The proposed child care center typically expects to have 12 to 15 employees
per shift and proposes to use the existing 21 on -site parking spaces for employees, as
well as to accommodate clients pick-up and drop-off needs.
We value comments from the community and your input is an important part of the
City's review of this proposal. For more information regarding this proposed project,
please go to http://www.fmov.com/developmentreview/aciendas.phr). There you will find.
this letter, a vicinity map, and the proposed site plans.
Additionally, the hearing notification list is derived from official records of the Larimer
County Assessor. Because of the lag time between occupancy and record keeping, or
because of rental situations, a few affected property owners may have been missed.
Please feel free to notify your neighbor of this pending meeting so all neighbors may
have the opportunity to attend. If you are unable to attend the public hearing, but would
like to provide input, written comments are welcome via U.S. mail to the address above
or you may e-mail them to me at currentolanningefcgov.com.
Sincerely,
