THE SUMMIT ON COLLEGE PARKING GARAGE
MAJOR AMENDMENT SUBMITAL
Bike Parking — Request for Modification of Standard
Request overview:
This project was originally approved in 2011, and the City of Fort Collins
Land Use Code at that time required bike parking at the ratio of 10% of the number
of vehicle parking spaces. This resulted in a total of 35 required bike parking
spaces. The developer felt that this would not be enough bike parking for this type
of development, so a total of 393 spaces were installed prior to the Project opening
in fall of 2013.
Currently, this project is applying for a Major Amendment to the approved
FDP, to include an onsite parking Garage. Between the time the project was
originally approved and the Major Amendment was submitted, the City of Fort
Collins LUC was updated to require, per section 3.2.2(C)(4)(b) one bike parking
space per bedroom. Further, 60% of these bike spaces need to be in an enclosed
area, while the remaining 40% may be located outside. The table on the following
page is located on the site plan and outlines the requirements per the code when the
project was originally approved and the current code.
Had this project been developed under the current code, the building would
have been designed with bike storage incorporated into the layout of each unit.
However, it was not, and it is not practical to retro fit every unit. In order to to
work towards compliance, a special space has been set aside for covered bike
parking in the parking garage. Currently, we are showing 132 new covered spaces
at the south side of the garage. There is additional space under the first floor ramp,
and Capstone is committed to provide additional covered bike parking if the
demand is demonstrated. Currently the bike racks on site are utilized at
approximately 90%. These additional spaces should ease some of the congestion
around the existing bike racks, and if there is a demand, Capstone will install more
covered bike parking in the garage.
