CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS
City of Fort Collins
ITEM: 726 West Mountain Avenue
MEETING DATE: January 5, 2009
APPLICANT: Mr. Brennan Evans, P.O. Box 1159, Fort Collins, CO
80522.
LAND USE DATA: Request to add two bedrooms, a bathroom and a
closet to the second floor of an existing dwelling unit located within a two-family
dwelling (duplex) located at 726 West Mountain Avenue. There would be no
building expansion outside the existing building footprint. The structure has been
considered to be two-family dwelling since prior to the adoption of the Land Use
Code in 1997.
COMMENTS:
The site is zoned N-C-L, Neighborhood Conservation Low Density zone
district. The two-family dwelling (duplex) is considered to be legal but
non -conforming use since duplexes are not allowed within the N-C-L since
the adoption of the Land Use Code in 1997. Expansion, therefore, is
governed by Section 1.5.5 of the Land Use Code entitled Enlargement of
Building and Expansion of Facilities, Equipment or Structures. This
process contains 12 review criteria and requires review by the Planning
and Zoning Board known as a Type Two review process. This includes a
neighborhood information meeting. Please contact Ted Shepard, 221-
6750, if you have any questions.
2. It is very important to note that one of the aforementioned criteria requires
that an expansion of a non -conforming use shall not add more than 25%
of new floor area to the existing building.
3. Since there will be no increase in the size of the electrical service, there
will be no requirements or fees associated with the City of Fort Collins
Light and Power Utility.
