include a dog park, walkways, trails, a working farm, and a City owned park. The single-
family areas will include passive open spaces and open -space trail connections.

and including edible plants and fruit trees within the LMN district.

BUCKING HORSE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Statement of Proposed Planning Objectives
05/07/2015
This project shall be titled Bucking Horse, Filing Three.
The project has previously been titled the Johnson Property Sidehill. The project
components include the following:
• Bucking Horse Residences - LMN Single Family Detached (LMN zone district)
This project includes uses within the existing Low Density Mixed Neighborhood (LMN)
zone district. The project is envisioned as a replat of the existing Bucking Horse Filing 2
property.
KEY ISSUES AND CONSIDERATIONS
The Bucking Horse Project Development Plan is similar to a Master Planned Community,
providing a healthy, diverse mix of housing types, land uses and planned open space -
thus furthering the vision of Plan Fort Collins or City Plan. The project responds to
changing market conditions, and has its own unique character based on the historic
Jessup Farm and Johnson Farm, which effectively bookend the site from the north and
southeast. Although, there are three zone districts within the overall project boundaries, it
is necessary to consider the project as a cohesive whole, where additional compatible
uses are requested to achieve the overall thematic character while providing necessary
amenities.
1. CITY PLAN PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES ACHIEVED BY THE PROPOSED PLAN
LIV 4: Development will provide and pay its share of the cost of providing needed public facilities and
services concurrent with development.
All roads, access points, sidewalks and street trees/roadway landscaping within the project
will be paid for by the developer.
LIV 6.2 - Seek Compatibility with Neighborhoods
New architectural features will respect the Johnson Farm character that is part of the great
Bucking Horse development, as well as the existing neighborhood character, through
integration of craftsman/farm detailing and building types. The extension of the single
family lots along Nancy Gray creat a continuous design to the main street of the
neighborhood.
LIV 10.1- Design Safe, Functional, and Visually Appealing Streets
Well -lit streets with street trees and detached walks are included within each zone district,
with accessible ramps at each corner.
LIV 10.2 - Incorporate Street Trees
Street trees will be included per standards, at least 40' O.C. along all public ROW's.
LIV 11.2 - Incorporate Public Space
