The proposed alternative plan ensures sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood by placing most of the parking internal to the site with no garage doors facing the streets. Number of Bedrooms/Dwelling Unit Parking Spaces Per Dwelling Unit* One or less 1.5 Two 1.75 Three 2.0 Four and above 3.0 Requested Modification: The Flats at Rigden Farm project is requesting to have providing the following parking spaces: Number of space required: # Units Parking Requirement One bedroom units 10 X 1.5 = 15 spaces Two bedroom units 60 X 1.75 = 105 spaces Three bedroom units 30 X 2.00 = 60 spaces Total 180 spaces Number of spaces provided: Attached garage = 60 spaces Detached garage = 40 spaces ADA spaces = 6 spaces Standard = 22 spaces Compact = 35 spaces Diagonal = 17 spaces* Total 180 spaces *Includes existing diagonal parking on Illinois Drive. In order for the diagonal spaces to be counted, the project will reserve (for the public) what would be parallel parking spaces along the public street. Justification We feel that the granting of this modification of standards would not be detrimental to the public good, and the plan as submitted will not diverge from the standards of the Land Use Code that are authorized by this Division to be modified except in a nominal, inconsequential way when considered from the perspective of the entire development plan, and will continue to advance the purposes of the Land Use Code as contained in Section 1.2.2 for the following reasons: The modification is minor, when considered from the perspective of the entire development plan, which provides consistency with the Land Use Code in terms of enhanced architecture, building articulation and quality materials. • The surrounding existing parking was constructed for the mixed use project that was previously approved. There is actually more parking than is necessary. 2 Mr.GROUP landscape architecture I planning I illustration May 21, 2014 Planning and Zoning Board c/o City of Fort Collins Current Planning Department 281 North College Ave. Fort Collins, CO 80524 Re: The Flats at Rigden Farm PDP Please accept this request for a Modification of Standards to Section 3.2.2(K)(1)(a) of the Land Use Code.
