Construction of the walkway will be tied to Lot One. There is no new street right-of-way dedicated by this Replat. The boundary of the Replat does not adjoin either Harmony Road or Corbett Drive. In general, the Replat preserves existing utilities and easements and grants and dedicates additional easements in such a way as to provide adequate area for all affected utilities. 5. Findings of Fact/Conclusions: A. The request to replat Front Range Village, Lots One and Two is in conformance with the applicable General Development Standards of Article Three of the Land Use Code. B. There are no applicable zone district standards in the Harmony Corridor zone that pertain to the subdivision or replatting of property. C. There is no increase in the number of pad sites along Harmony Road. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Front Range Village Second Replat, #12-09. 4 In September of 2007, Front Range Village First Replat was approved which adjusted the boundaries of Lots 1, 7, 10, 12, 13 and 14. The First Replat affected 54 acres and was required to accommodate the shifting of various buildings, easements and an adjustment in the Corbett Drive right-of-way to reflect a revised right -turn lane design. 2. Harmony Corridor Plan: The site is located within the Harmony Corridor Plan and within a specifically defined area designated as Regional Shopping Center. The land uses on Lots One and Two are expected to continue to comply with Regional Shopping Center designation. The Replat is a basically a side lot line adjustment and there are no issues related to the Harmony Corridor Plan. 3. Applicable Zone District Standards: The site is located within the H-C, Harmony Corridor district. There are no zone district standards that pertain to the platting or replatting of property. 4. Applicable General Development Standards: A. Section 3.3.1(B)(1) — Lots The Replat creates no new lots or new pad sites. Lots One and Two will continue to have vehicular access to the private access drive along their north property line. This private access drive remains dedicated as an emergency access easement and is outside the boundary of the Replat. This private drive connects to both Corbett Drive and Snow Mesa Drive which are both publicly dedicated streets. B. Section 3.3.1(B)(2) — Lots The general layout of the two pad sites in relationship to the larger shopping center does not change. As mentioned, the result of the common side property line being adjusted is that Lot One becomes wider by 69 feet and Lot Two becomes narrower by the same distance. There is no new street right-of-way dedicated by this replat. The boundary of the Replat does not adjoin Harmony Road or Corbett Drive. 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The request to replat Lots One and Two is in conformance with the applicable General Development Standards of Article Three of the Land Use Code. There are no applicable zone district standards in the H-C zone that pertain to the subdivision or replatting of property. COMMENTS: 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: H-C; Vacant (Approximately 42 acres) S: H-C; Mixed -Use Activity Center (Preston Center at Wildwood Farm) E: H-C; Office/Light Industrial (Paragon Office formerly L.S.I. Logic, Inc.) W: L-M-N; Existing Residential (Harmony Mobile Home Park Community) W: H-C; Mix of primary and secondary uses (The Pads at Harmony). In July of 2003, City Council amended the Harmony Corridor Plan and Article Four of the Land Use Code to allow a mixed -use activity center, with the potential for a "Lifestyle Shopping Center," on the subject property. In addition, a Lifestyle Shopping Center was added as a permitted use within the H-C zone. In October of 2003, the Planning and Zoning Board approved The Summit Fort Collins Overall Development Plan and Phase One P.D.P. for the Lifestyle Center. In June of 2005, Bayer Properties withdrew The Summit Fort Collins Lifestyle Center application which, at that time, was in the Final Compliance review process. In February of 2006, City Council amended Harmony Corridor Plan to allow for the parcel to be designated for a "Regional Shopping Center." In March of 2007, Front Range Village Final Plan was approved as a 101-acre Regional Shopping Center in the Harmony Corridor located generally at the northwest corner of East Harmony Road and Ziegler Road. The project is approved for 850,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area divided among 17 buildings. Of these 17, four are large retail establishments. One building contains a public library. In addition, there are eight pad sites to be developed individually in future phases. Lots One and Two of the Second Replat are two pad sites located with frontage along Harmony Road. 2 City of FortCottins �� ITEM NO I MEETING DATE APftli_ a3 P-aa9 STAFF 7-- -.o SHcPA" PROJECT: Front Range Village Second Replat, #12-09. APPLICANT: Mr. Josh Ziliak c/o Stantec Consulting 2950 East Harmony Road Fort Collins, CO 80524 OWNER: Front Range Village Retail Company 222 Arlington Avenue Birmingham, AL 35205 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: HEARING OFFICER This is a request to replat two pad sites along Harmony Road designated as Lots One and Two. The effect of the Second Replat would adjust the side property line between the two lots thereby making Lot One larger and Lot Two smaller. Both lots are located north of Harmony Road and west of Corbett Drive and would continue to be zoned H-C, Harmony Corridor. Front Range Village is a regional shopping center that is approved and constructed located generally at the northwest corner of East Harmony Road and Ziegler Road. The original plat was approved in March of 2007 and included seven lots, reserved for individual pad site development, along Harmony Road. These seven lots are numbered sequentially from west to east on both sides of Corbett Drive. For information purposes, Lot Two is currently undergoing review for not only the proposed Replat but also a Minor Amendment for Compass Bank. The Minor Amendment, however, is not the subject of the administrative hearing. Compass Bank would consist of a one-story building containing 3,586 square feet with five drive -through lanes.
