intensity curve may have been used.

1. Larimer County Road Impact Fees and Street Oversizing Fees are due at the time of building
permit. Please contact Matt Baker at 224-6108 if you have any questions.
2. Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) is due at the time of submittal. For additional
information on these fees, please see http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/dev-review.php
3. Any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets, sidewalks,
curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project, shall be
replaced or restored to City of Fort Collins standards at the Developer's expense prior to the
acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of
Occupancy.
4. Please contact Joe Olson and Transportation Planning to schedule a scoping meeting and
determine if a traffic study is needed for this project.
5. Any public improvements must be designed and built in accordance with the Larimer County Urban
Area Street Standards (LCUASS).
6. This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and easements that are necessary for
this project. It is unknown at this time whether or CDOT has the row it requires for the frontage
road or if there are additional utility easements behind the row required.
7. This site is adjacent to CDOT roadway and all access to the site is governed by an access control
plan. The access control plan will need to be followed and implemented with any project. Plans
will be routed to CDOT for review and approval and the applicant may need to obtain access
permits from CDOT.
8. Utility plans will be needed for this project.
9. A development agreement will be done with this project.
10. A Development Construction Permit (DCP) will need to be obtained prior to starting any work on
the site.
11. Driveways must line up with those across the street or meet minimum separation requirements. It
appears that the existing driveway access is shared with the property to the south so access to the
neighboring property must be maintained with additional access easements and a drive aisle
constructed to this property's property line for future connection.
12. Street sidewalks, parkways, sidewalk connections to the building, and parking stalls, drive aisles,
and setbacks must meet minimum requirements.
13. It appears that you are removing the right turn lane into your driveway? If this is so, the TIS, CDOT
and the property owner to the south have to agree to this and you will need to vacate the row.
There is a separate TDRF to do this and it requires council approval. Please plan an additional 3
months for that process to be completed.

need during development review. -
Project Specific Comments:
1. This development proposal will be subject to all applicable standards of the Fort Collins Land Use
Code (LUC), including Article 3 General Development Standards and Section 4.21 Commercial
District.
2. As discussed at the Conceptual Review Meeting, this development request may need to request
several Modification of Standard Requests (LUC, Sect. 2.8.2). You have the option to either
request these modifications as part of your overall Project Development Plan, or run them as a
separate request. There are benefits to both scenarios:
a. Stand Alone Modification of Standards Request — This allows you to get the
modifications approved first so you don't spend the time and money getting all the detailed
plans completed without knowing if the modifications will even be approved. This request
would be processed as a Type 1 application just like the overall PDP. If you would like to
pursue this option, let me know and we can discuss submittal requirements.
b. Concurrent Modification Requests with PDP — Running the requested modifications and
PDP together is also an option. The only draw back is the Hearing Officer may not support
the modifications then you would either have to change your plans to meet the standard or
be back at square one with a project that was not approved.
3. The Plan as presented at Conceptual Review would need the following Modifications of Standard:
a. Section 3.5.3(B)(1) Orientation to a Connecting Walkway
b. Section 3.5.3(B)(2) Orientation to Build -to Lines for Streetfront Buildings
c. There would be more, but I am assuming that a sidewalk along the frontage road,
foundations plantings and the other required landscaping will be added to meet the
standards of Article 3.
4. The applicant for this development request is not required to hold a neighborhood information
meeting prior to formal submittal of the proposal, but staff always recommends having one.
Neighborhood meetings cost you nothing and offer an informal way to get feedback from your
surrounding neighbors and discover any potential hiccups prior to the formal hearing. If you would
like to have a neighborhood meeting, please contact Emma McArdle, at 221-6206, to assist you in
setting a date, time, and location. Emma, and possibly other City staff, would be present to
facilitate the meeting.
5. 1 will have more detailed comments on the PDP once I have more detailed plans to review.
6. Please contact me with any questions along the way.
