Home My WebLink AboutPOUDRE SCHOOL DISTRICT, EAST PROSPECT ROAD SERVICE FACILITY - APU - 44-08/A - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - APPLICATIONAddition of a Permitted Use Poudre School District/Larimer County Joint Use Campus The following summary describes a plan to develop an approximate 100 acre parcel located at the northwest corner of County Road 5 and East Prospect Road in Ft. Collins into a joint use campus for the Poudre School District and Lorimer County. This request for the addition of permitted uses would include a warehouse/office facility that would support the public facilities on this site as well as the schools that fall within the Poudre School District. More specifically, the proposed permitted uses would allow for warehouse and office facilities that would enable Poudre School District to deploy buses and distribute supplies from an eastern location to the to other school sites using the main east/west connections (Harmony Rd., Prospect Rd., and Mulberry St./U.S. HWY 14). Poudre School District has historically served the district through two main sites, LaPorte Avenue and Trilby Road. As the District has grown, the need for services has also increased. The proposed site fills a strategic need for an eastern location. The proposed eastern location will allow Poudre School District to reduce the total miles driven by buses and allow for shorter drives to pick up and deliver students on the east edge of the District service area. This location also allows for convenient access to 1-25. 1. Zone District The property is currently located in the Urban Estate (U-E) Zone District. This property was annexed in 1991 under the Galatia Annexation and had three (3) zones to it. The zones were the Highway Business (HB), Industrial Park (IP) and Low Density Planned Residential (RLP) districts. The subject site was primarily the Low Density Planned Residential (RLP) district, with a small Industrial (1) district on the west side. There were two conditions for development of this property. The first was that all development had to proceed under the PUD and the second was that in the RLP district, it could be developed with a density no greater than one building unit per acre. In 1997 this property was rezoned so that the Low Density Planned Residential (RLP) portion of the site became the Urban Estate (UE) District while the small portion to the west remained in the Industrial (1) District. 2. Description of the Proposed Use and Previous Use The proposed use for the western 2/3 of the site is a joint use facilities campus for Poudre School District and Lorimer County. This would include a phase I project of a warehouse/office facility. Future phasing would include other transportation facilities used by the School District and the County such as, fleet services, fleet maintenance, storage, bus and equipment parking and a fuel island. These uses are permitted under current zoning. This location will allow the County and Poudre School District to deploy snow removal equipment, buses and trucks from a location that allows easy and efficient access into the surrounding communities. The campus is intended to provide open space and pedestrian movement within and through the site. The proposed use for the eastern 1 /3 of the property is a future school site. 3.

Compliance with a Governing Overall Development Plan or Sub -area Plan This site is currently not a part of an ODP or Sub -area Plan. 6. Compliance with Article Three of the Land Use Code The development of this site will comply with Article Three of the Land Use Code as described above in the question regarding compliance with governing sub -area plans. 7. Compliance with Article Four of the Land Use Code Except for the permitted land uses requested, applicable standards of the UE District will be met and brought into compliance as required by the District and as described above in the question regarding compliance with governing sub -area plans. The land falls within the Fort Collins 1-25 Subarea Plan and is designated Urban Estate (UE). This zone classification allows for public uses such as the ones currently proposed and allowed on the site. The proposed addition of warehouse and office is an accessory to the uses currently anticipated by the school district. 8. Conditions of Approval Not applicable. Addition of a Permitted Use Poge 3 of 3 The project site is generally located on the northwest comer of County Road 5 and Prospect Rd. inside the City of Fort Collins. The property is currently used for agricultural purposes. The property to the east (east side of CR5) is within the City of Timnath and is currently the Serratogo Falls development, the property to the north is the Kitchell Estates subdivistion which falls in Lorimer County and the properties to the south (south side of Prospect Rd.) are the subdivisions of Homestead Estates and Hacienda de Arboles MRD which are in Lorimer County. The property to the west is owned by the White brothers and is currently proposed as an industrial development within the City of Fort Collins. 4. Is the Proposed Use Compatible with the Neighborhood Context and with Section 3.5.1 of the Land Use Code? The proposed permitted use of a warehouse and office facility is compatible with the adjacent Industrial (1) District to the west as warehouse/distribution centers and offices are permitted uses. The proposed addition of warehouse and office uses is compatible with the proposed uses on the site which are permitted uses. The warehouse and office facilities are also being located in the center portion of the site which substantially separates them from surrounding residential uses. The nearest residential home is over 500' away from the proposed warehouse and office location. The buildings will be designed to fit the agrarian/rural nature of the surrounding area and have a farmstead character consistent with the character of the UE District. Specifically, buildings will incorporate dormers, monitors, pitched roofs, and other architectural forms reflecting a farm type character. This look is in keeping with equestrian lots to both the north and the south of the site. Additionally, substantial landscape berms 6'-8' in height and heavily landscaped will buffer the adjacent perimeter from both sound and the visual scale and mass of the proposed uses. The landscape design will incorporate xeriscape principles and incorporate wildlife habitat plantings.
