8. Current Planning offers the following comments regarding this proposed
development:
• This property is in the C - Commercial Zoning District. The proposed
rental car facility, as presented at conceptual review, is defined in the
City of Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC) as' a "Vehicle and Boat Sales.
and Leasing Establishment with Outdoor Storage". This request would
constitute a change in use from the previous office use (State Farm
Insurance) on the property and the proposed use is permitted in the C
District, subject to a.Planring and Zoning Board (Type 2) review and
public hearing. A Type 2 review would ultimately go before the Board
for a decision.
The proposed office uses in the building are permitted in the C -
Commercial District, subject to an administrative (Type 1) review and
public hearing. However, if a proposal is submitted with both the car
rental facility and office uses then it must go through a Type 2 review
and ultimately go to the Board for a decision. This is set forth in
Section 2.1.2(D) of the LUC.
Acknowledged.
• The request will have to comply with all applicable regulations and
standards set forth in ARTICLE 3 - GENERAL DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS; and, the Permitted Uses; Land Use Standards and
There will be no increase in impervious area.
d. If there is an,increase in imperviousness greater than 1,000 square
feet, in the McClelland's/Mail Creek Drainage Basin on -site
detention is required, with a 0.2 cfs/acre release rate for the 10-
year storm and a 0.5 cfs/acre release rate for the 100=year storm.
There will be no increase in impervious area.
e. When State Farm Insurance was in the building they came to the
City Stormwater. Utility with a groundwater problem and said that
the interior floor slab was sinking. They were talking about
installing a cross pan on Fairway Lane to direct water to the south
instead of continuing to drain to the east onto the Fairway Estates
borrow ditch system. The existing detention pond is considered an
on-line pond since properties to the north drain through the pond,
so there can be a lot of run-off passing through the site. This may
also add to the groundwater issues. That was the choice of the
design engineer for State Farm Insurance. There was also a
downspout at the southeast corner of the building that was
discharging into the landscaping that was going to be modified to
mitigate groundwater issues.
