Front Range Village Second Replat, #12-09 Administrative Hearing Findings, Conclusions, and Decision April 24, 2009 Page 3 of 5 Written Comments: None FACTS AND FINDINGS 1. Compatibility with Surrounding Uses: 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.
