ATTACHMENTS 1. Vicinity Map. 2. Existing Structure Plan — Site and Surrounding Context. 3. Proposed Structure Plan — Site and Surrounding Context. 4. Existing Zoning — Site and Surrounding Context. 5. Proposed Zoning — Site and Surrounding Context. October 3, 2006 -5- Item No. 22 A-B Have conditions changed in the neighborhood to warrant the rezoning? This was not a deciding factor in staff s evaluation. Anecdotal information indicates that a recently built superstore in north Loveland has severely deflated market demand for a supermarket -anchored NC district at this location. Is the rezoning request compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land and is it the appropriate zoning district for the land? Yes. It is covered by evaluation of the Structure Plan Amendment. Essentially, the original City Structure Plan found Commercial designation appropriate for the South College corridor; and development standards are in place to achieve urban compatibility. Will the rezoning have adverse effects on the natural environment? No. Under either existing or proposed zoning, the same standards for protecting the natural environment will apply. Will the rezoning result in a logical and orderly development pattern? Yes. Previous discussion noted the site as part of the South College Commercial Corridor. FINDINGS After reviewing the Front Range Second Rezoning and Amendment to the Structure Plan, staff makes the following findings of fact and conclusions as explained above: This request for a Structure Plan amendment adequately demonstrates a need to change the designation, in response to the request. Such a change would be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 2. This rezoning request is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan based on the Structure Plan amendment. 3. The proposed C - Commercial Zoning District is appropriate for this property as an extension of the South College Commercial Corridor. 4. The proposed rezoning would not result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment. 5. The proposed rezoning would result in a logical and orderly pattern. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends approval of the Front Range Second Rezoning and Structure Plan Amendment. October 3, 2006 -4- Item No. 22 A-B 2. warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and including the subject property." The above criteria are found in subsection 2.9.4[H] [2] of the Land Use Code and outline mandatory requirements for quasi-judicial rezonings. In addition, the following subsection 2.9.4[H][3] lists additional factors that may be considered along with the mandatory requirements for this type of quasi-judicial rezoning, as follows: "In determining whether to recommend approval of any such proposed amendment, the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council may consider the following additional factors: whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land, and is the appropriate zone district for the land; 2. whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment, including but not Iimited to, water, air, noise, stormwater management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands and the natural environment'; and 3. whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in a logical and orderly development pattern." Purpose Statement of the Zone District For convenient reference, the purpose statement of the C, Commercial (Section 4.17 ofthe Land Use Code) zone district states: "The purpose of the C District is to be a setting for development, redevelopment and infill of a wide range of community and regional retail uses, offices and personal and business services. Secondarily, it can accommodate a wide range of other uses including creative forms of housing. While some Commercial District areas may continue to meet the need for auto - related and other auto -oriented uses, it is the City's intent that the Commercial District emphasize safe and convenient personal mobility in many forms, with planning and design that accommodates pedestrians." D. Staff Analysis - Rezoning Request. Is the request consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan? Yes. If the Structure Plan Amendment is supported, then the zoning logically follows. Zoning this site as part of the South College Commercial Corridor is an appropriate fit with City Plan. October 3, 2006 -3- Item No. 22 A-B When the current NC/N4MN zoning configuration was approved in 2000, staff found it to be appropriate, but also found the Commercial zoning in place at that time was appropriate, as well. In other words, either land use/zoning scenario could be appropriate and consistent with City Plan; and either provides a needed land use designation. 3. Freestanding development has occurred on four acres at the northwest comer of South College and Trilby, within the NC area, in a manner more consistent with Commercial zoning than NC zoning. Staff believes these considerations adequately support a conclusion that the Structure Plan needs to be changed in response to this request. A. Context of the Proposed Structure Plan Amendment The City Structure Plan is the primary basis for zoning decisions. An amendment is a prerequisite to this rezoning request. To recommend approval of this proposal, staff and the Planning and Zoning Board have to find that: the existing Structure Plan is in need of change; and 2. the proposed changes would promote the public welfare and be consistent with the vision, goals, principles, and policies of City Plan. These are the applicable criteria, contained in Appendix C of City Plan. B. Staff Analysis - Structure Plan Amendment Staff finds the requested Commercial Corridor designation acceptable primarily on the grounds that the City has already found this site to be part of the South College Commercial Corridor on the original 1997 City Structure Plan, consistent with all aspects of City Plan; and that it is still a valid perspective. The supermarket -anchored NC district initiative, which was the driving force behind the previous rezoning, is no longer a factor. The need to change the designation to Commercial Corridor is to expand flexibility in commercial land use while still allowing most of the uses permitted in the current set of zone districts. Some factors behind the requested change are the imminent construction of a super center supermarket a few miles south of the subject property, in Loveland, and the continuing influence of commercial corridor uses on the east side of College. C. Rezoning Request In order to recommend approval of this proposal, staff and the Planning and Zoning Board would have to find that the rezoning is: consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; and/or October 3, 2006 -2- Item No. 22 A-B OWNERS: Lithia Real Estate Inc. 360 East Jackson Street Medford, OR 97501 Front Range Limited Partnership 3573 East Sunrise Drive, Suite 233 Tucson, AZ 85718 COL College and Trilby, LLC President Hunt Douglas R.E. Services P.O. Box 320342 Tampa, FL 33679 Southgate Church, Inc. 6541 South College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80525 BACKGROUND The applicant, Commercial Building Services, on behalf of the property owners, Lithia Real Estate, Front Range Limited Partnership, COL College and Trilby LLC, and Southgate Church, has submitted a written request for the rezoning of 45 acres located along the west side of South College Avenue from Trilby Road to Skyway Drive. The requested zoning for these properties is C, Commercial. Because the properties are currently in the Neighborhood Commercial Center and Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood designations on the Structure Plan, an amendment to the plan is necessary. Four properties are included in the Rezoning and Structure Plan Amendment request. There is a farmstead home and several outbuildings in the middle of the property owned by Front Range Limited Partnership and an existing church on the property owned by Southgate Church at the northwest comer of South College Avenue and Trilby Road. The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: Larimer County C, FA; suburban subdivision; highway commercial strip S: Larimer County C, FA; large lot sub; 2 lots converted to commercial E: Larimer County C; highway commercial strip W: Larimer County R2, FA; suburban subdivision; supported living facility The property was annexed into the City of Fort Collins as the Timan First Annexation on June 7, 1988. The main considerations in staff support for this request are: The request is to simply revert back to Commercial zoning, which has previously been found appropriate. AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT ITEM NUMBER: 22 A-B DATE: October 3, 2006 STAFF: Steve Olt Items Relating to the Front Range Second Rezoning and Structure Plan Amendment. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and the Ordinance on First Reading. The Planning and Zoning Board, at its regular monthly meeting on September 21, 2006, voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the Front Range Second Rezoning and Structure Plan Amendment. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Resolution 2006-101 Amending the City's Structure Plan Map. B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 157, 2006, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for that Certain Property Known as the Front Range Second Rezoning. This is a request for a City Structure Plan amendment and rezoning of 45 acres located along the west side of South College Avenue from Trilby Road to Skyway Drive. The 45 acres are part of a larger, 58-acre land area. The current City Structure Plan and zoning map both designate an integrated pattern ofNC, Neighborhood Commercial, and MMN, Medium Density Neighborhood, and C, Commercial Corridor, for this land area. This request would revert the 45-acre subject area to C, Commercial zoning, and thereby consolidate the whole 58-acre area into C, Commercial zoning. (The difference of 13 acres is already zoned Commercial.) APPLICANT: Commercial Building Services, Inc. c/o Ivar Larsen 7561 South Grant Street, Suite A-4 Littleton, CO 80111
