Dear Resident or Property Owner:
On Tuesday, February 26th, 2008 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the City of Fort Collins Community
Room at 215 N. Mason St. (north entrance), the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning
Department will host a neighborhood meeting to kick off the Downtown Hotel and Conference
Center development review process.
The proposal is for a hotel and conference center, retail and office space, a few residential units, and
structured parking both for the new development and to replace the existing public parking. The
project replaces what is now the public surface parking lot on Remington between Oak and Olive
Streets. The Remington parking lot is a City -owned property that the Downtown Development
Authority (DDA) and the City are partnering with developer Corporex Colorado to develop in
accordance with City Plan and the Downtown Strategic Plan. The City and the DDA selected
Corporex Colorado as the developer through a public Request For Proposals (RFP) process.
Corporex has assembled a design team that includes OZ Architecture, BHA Design, Northern
Engineering, and ELB Engineering, LLC. Representatives of the design team will be available at the
neighborhood meeting to share preliminary design sketches of the hotel and conference center and to
answer questions residents may have about the design and layout.
This project will be presented to the Planning and Zoning Board twice, once to request a modification
of the height standards in the Downtown -Old City Center zone district in March, and once sometime
later in the spring or summer as the design is developed. You will receive separate invitations to both
Planning and Zoning hearings. The project will also go before City Council because it is a proposal
on City -owned property. You are welcome to attend the pertinent City Council meetings as well,
which are advertised on our website at http://www.fcgov.com/cityclerk/agendas.php.
The list of affected property owners for this public information meeting is derived from official records
of the Larimer County Assessor. Because of the lag time between home occupancy and record
keeping, or because of rental properties, a few affected residents may have been missed. Please feel
free to notify any neighbors of this pending meeting so all may have the opportunity to attend.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at 970-221-6206 or email me at
aaspen@fcgov.com.
