On Monday, November 15, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. (or as soon thereafter as possible), in
Conference Rooms A-C, 281 North College Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado, the City of Fort
Collins Hearing Officer will conduct an administrative public hearing to consider a development
proposal in your neighborhood. A decision on the proposal will result from this public hearing.
The project is known as the South Transit Center, PDP - #9-10.
This is a request for a "transit facility without repair or storage," to be located southwest of South
College Avenue and Harmony Road, just south of the Spradley Barr dealership (northwest of
West Fairway Lane and Fossil Boulevard). The proposed development is on approximately 4.3
acres, directly adjoining the BNSF Railroad and the Mason Corridor Trail. The site is in the
Commercial (C) Zone District.
The site would be the south terminus of the Mason Corridor. Mason Street is proposed to
extend to the site, from the north, along the railroad tracks. The Mason Street Extension will
only be used by the rapid transit busses; users will access the site via Fossil Boulevard or
pedestrians can access the site via the existing Mason Corridor Trail that runs adjacent to the
Railroad tracks.
The proposal includes a 169 space "park-n-ride" lot, 11 bus bays and a 4,253 square foot
building. A north/south drive access is provided along the east side of the site, as designated
by the South College Access Control Plan. It will serve to give the sites to the east and north
access to Fairway Lane and College Avenue, the future location of a traffic signal.
The proposal includes two modification of standard requests; one to the "orientation to
connecting walkway" standard, which requires the front of a building open directly onto a
connecting walkway with pedestrian frontage that does not pass a vehicle use area; and the
second is to the "build -to" line standard, which requires structures be located within 15 feet of.
the adjoining street right-of-way.
The list of affected property owners for this public meeting 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 have any questions regarding this matter, please call our office at (970)221-6750.
Sincerely,
ma McArdle
City Planner
