Dear Resident or Property Owner:
On Wednesday, March 21, 2007 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., at the American Baptist Church of
Fort Collins, 600 South Shields Street, Fort Collins, Colorado, the Current Planning
Department of the City of Fort Collins will conduct a neighborhood information meeting to discuss a
development proposal in your neighborhood. The project is referred to as the Hellenic Plaza
Project Development Plan.
This is a proposal to construct a three-story mixed -use development on the properties at 609 and
635 South Shields Street. Located on the west side of South Shields Street, north of Birch Street,
the project site is approximately 1.67 acres in size. The proposal includes two buildings featuring
41 two and three -bedroom dwelling units, 7,822 square feet of commercial space, and 92 parking
spaces. The buildings front on Shields and Birch Streets with the commercial space located on the
first floor of the building facing Shields Street. The residential units are located on the second and
third stories of the building facing Shields Street and on all three floors of the building facing Birch
Street. The existing single-family house at 609 South Shields Street will be demolished with this
development. The fraternity house 635 South. Shields Street has been demolished and the
property is currently vacant.
The property is zoned MMN — Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District and NCB —
Neighborhood Conservation Buffer District. Mixed -use developments are permitted uses in these
zone districts, subject to administrative review and approval. All applicable standards within the
Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC) apply to this proposal.
The list of affected property owners for this public information meeting is derived from official
records of the Larimer County Assessor. Because of the lag time between home occupancy and
record keeping, or because of rental situations, a few affected property owners may have been
missed. Please feel free to notify your neighbor of this pending meeting so all neighbors may have
the opportunity to attend. If you are unable to attend this meeting, written comments are welcome.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call our offs at 970-221-675Q.
