within the planned Growth Management Area Boundary and represents a
logical progression for annexation into the city limits.
6. Multiple means of travel. The proposed site provides for adequate parking
and circulation for vehicle travel. It demonstrates a safe location for bicycle
parking. It is situated on a major intersection, which will promote rapid
transit use by its members and guests. A network of sidewalks connects the
site with a planned public walkway system.
Poudre Valley Congregation of Jehovah's Witness Annexation
City Structure Plan Consistency Statement March 2005
Project Summary
The 3.43 acre Poudre Valley Congregation of Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall site
is located at the northeast corner of Timberline and Kechter Roads. This site is currently
located outside the Fort Collins city limits and is zoned FAl- Farming Zoning District as
designated by the Larimer County Land Use Code. This application requests annexation
into the city and rezoning to Urban Estate as called for by the Fort Collins City Structure
Plan Map and Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan.
The overall purpose of this project is to build a church (place of worship or assembly)
a permitted use in the U-E District. A 5,000 square foot church building (Kingdom Hall
of Jehovah's Witnesses) is proposed at the site and will include a 600 square foot,
attached caretaker apartment.
This project will integrate a place of worship into the surrounding city structure. The
project will provide vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle access, update the visual
appearance of this intersection as well as provide roadway improvements making it
consistent with the principles and policies of the Fort Collins City Structure plan.
The following is an analysis of the key principals of the City Structure plan and how
the proposed project is consistent with these principals:
1. Compact development pattern. The Kingdom Hall plan, by virtue of its
function, does not contribute to a "compact" development pattern. However,
it is strategically located adjacent to urban scale residential developments and
purposefully sized to meet the needs of the neighbors in the immediate area.
2. Interconnect transit system. The project proposal site is situated on two
major corridors within the City. It can be easily accessed by transit systems
once the transit system is expanded in the future.
3. New activity centers in transit served areas. The Kingdom Hall will not
provide a major activity node in the immediate neighborhood. However, it
provides and important gathering place, as a place of worship, to the
neighborhood, thus answering the city plan goal as a destination location,
central to urban residential neighborhoods.
4. Interconnected system of open lands. The project site does not have
significant vegetation or habitat on site or in the immediate area. Therefore, it
does not inhibit the City Plan goal for interconnected open lands.
