CO 80120 303.738 9991 �11 ac0 D EVW_ The name of the project is Mulberry Crossing Car Wash. Previous applications referred this project as "Tunnel Wash'; "Mulberry Lemay Express Wash project" and "Full Service Car Wash project." vii. A narrative description of how conflicts between land uses are being avoided or mitigated. A 50' buffer/setback from the development edge to the edge of the riparian habitat along the Cache la Poudre River is proposed. This setback will be seeded with a native pasture/grassland seed mix and planted with native trees and shrubs. This buffer area is approximately .54-acres in size. The proposed setback/buffer will help preserve and improve wildlife habitat along the river. The proposed vegetation will also serve to further screen the development site from the pedestrian trail that exists on the south side of the river. Because of the existing extensive human use and development surrounding the river corridor construction for the proposed facility will not significantly impact any species currently using the area.

Estimate of number of employees for commercial and industrial uses. There will be a total of no more than 3 employees on site at any given time. iv. Description of rationale behind the assumptions and choices made by the applicant. The car wash will be a self -automated professional car wash facility that will utilize the latest technology in water reduction, recycling using environmentally friendly washing products. This tunnel car wash will utilize a conveyor belt that will move occupied cars through the interior wash cycles. This will include a dryer at the exit. There will be a number of self -serve vacuum stations in the parking lot. A decorative trellis structure is used to shield the cabling and hoses for the individual vacuums. This facility is strategically placed at a roadway intersection that supports large traffic volumes. It will conveniently serve the regional and local community in an area of Fort Collins that has been and will continue to be a focal point for research and technology as decisions are made regarding the re -development of the airport property. Because the facility is situated at an important gateway corridor to Fort Collins, careful consideration was made to make sure the building architecture and landscape features presents a high quality appeal that coordinates with newer facilities in the immediate area. The site is located along the northern upland shore -line of the Poudre River. Habitat preservation and vegetation enhancements are introduced into a 50' buffer along the river corridor to improve the current conditions there. Written narrative addressing each issue raised at the neighborhood meeting, if a meeting was held. A neighborhood meeting is not required. vi. Name of the project as well as any previous name the project may have been known by. Planning Objectives Mulberry Crossing PDP The site is located along the northern upland shore -line of the Poudre River. Habitat preservation and vegetation enhancements are introduced into a 50' buffer along the river corridor to improve the current conditions there. The following is a brief description of the project proposal and how it serves to meet the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan Objectives: Planning Objectives Statement of appropriate City Plan Principles and Policies achieved by the proposed overall Development Plan. Compact Development Pattern: The project proposal is for a land parcel that would be considered an "infill" lot. It was previously annexed and remained undeveloped and largely un-maintained over the years. It is a car wash facility that is strategically placed along the major travel corridors, so it will conveniently serve the driving public. • Interconnected System of Open Lands: The project will preserve, protect and enhance a 50' buffer along the Poudre River Corridor. • Multiple Means of Travel. A detached sidewalk will be constructed to continue an existing walkway at the Mulberry-Lemay intersection along Mulberry to the east property line of the project. • Commercial Development Patterns: The project is located within a designated Community Corridor District. It will conveniently provide an important service to the driving public. Environmentally, car washes serve to reduce pollutants and reduce water used as opposed to home car wash activities. ii. Description of existing and proposed, open space, buffering, landscaping, circulation, transition areas, wetlands and natural areas. The existing condition of the site includes seeded upland pasture. There are a variety of weedy species existing on the site. The development will improve the overall appearance of the site, and will improve the environmental health of the riparian areas associated with the river corridor. The applicant intends to landscape the development site area using a combination of drought tolerant and native tree and shrub species. Turf areas will be concentrated as much as possible to maximize the "open -space" effect. A storm water quality pond will be required on the south side of the property along Lemay Avenue. There are no wetlands present on the site; jurisdictional wetlands exist along the river corridor adjacent to the site. Planning Objectives Mulberry Crossing PDP Mulberry Crossing Proposed Car Wash located at the SE corner of Mulberry and Lemay Fort Collins, Colorado Introduction We are pleased to present a proposal for the development of a new, state-of-the-art car wash, located on the SE comer of Mulberry and Lemay Ave. in Fort Collins. The facility will be a self -automated professional car wash facility that will utilize the latest technology in water reduction and recycling using environmentally friendly washing products. This tunnel car wash will utilize a conveyor belt that will move occupied cars through the wash routine including a dryer at the exit. This facility is strategically placed at a roadway intersection that supports large traffic volumes. It will conveniently serve the regional and local community in an area of Fort Collins that has been and will continue to be a focal point for research and technology as decisions are made regarding the re -development of the airport property. Because the facility is situated at an important gateway corridor to Fort Collins, careful consideration was made to make sure the building architecture and landscape features presents a high quality appeal that coordinates with newer facilities in the immediate area.
