neighbors. Parking along the north side of the facility abuts commercial property.
This is where the majority of parking for the facility is located. The modification
being requested is for parking located directly along the north property line.
There is a 5.5 feet landscaped area from face of curb to the property line. There
is a fence located along on the adjacent property that runs the entire length of
this property line. Directly on the other side of this fence is a landscaped area
approximately 10 feet in width (see attached photo).
The request is for a modification to allow a smaller overhang distance
along the north property line. The difference in the required overhang
distance and the proposed distance is 6 inches.
JUSTIFICATION
A justification for this proposal relating to the Modification Criteria (Section
2.8.2(H)(4) is that the proposed plan as submitted will not diverge from the
standards of the Land Use Code 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.
We believe that the proposed project meets the criteria in the following ways:
• A landscape area with a curb stop is provided.
• The difference in distance from the code requirement is a nominal 6".
• All other parking area within the site will conform to the Land Use Code
requirements.
We believe that the 6" difference in inconsequential when considered with the
entire project.

Modification Request
Columbine East, Reduction in paved stall length
September 27, 2005
This request is for a modification to the "reduction in paved stall length"
requirements as outlined in the Fort Collins Land Use Code. The modification
being requested is from section 3.2.2 (L.4) Vehicular Overhang. This regulation
reads that:
"(4) Vehicular Overhang. The stall dimensions indicated above may be
modified with respect to vehicular overhang as indicated in Figure 5,
except that compact vehicle spaces may not be reduced in depth to a
dimension that is less than the required depth indicated above. "
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Columbine East Long Term Care PDP consists of 3.3 acres and is located
on the northeast corner of South Lemay Avenue and Rule Drive. This project is
considered as an infill project with development totally surrounding the site.
The Columbine East Long Term Care Facility will be a two-story, 131-bed
nursing facility that will be staffed 24-hours a day. The first floor of this building
will service 50 beds for standard nursing care patients and 15 beds in a secured
Alzheimer's wing. The second floor will service 66 beds for standard nursing
care patients.
Two points of access are provided, one from South Lemay Avenue and the
second from Rule Drive with parking for 71 cars located north and east of the
facility. Entrances are located to be convenient from both the parking lot and the
public sidewalk system.
MODIFICATION
The site is 3.3 acres and bounded on the north and west sides by commercial
development and south and east sides by residential development. Parking for
the facility has been placed on the north and east sides. Parking along the east
side has been placed next to the building and adjacent to the common area at
the end of Silk Oak Ct. in the Oak Ridge subdivision. No parking has been
placed adjacent to residential lots in order to separate the parking from the
neighborhood. In addition to this separation a masonry and wood fence is being
constructed along the east property line to further minimize the impact to the
