Historic and Cultural Core Segment (College Avenue to Lemay Avenue). This segment of the river includes many of the community's oldest and most significant historic and cultural features, the Old Town Historic District, and the Downtown. Land Uses in the area should be more flexible than in other river segments and emphasize connecting the river to Downtown, providing multi purpose spaces that celebrate the historic relevance of the river to the community, continue the important and unique relationship between the waterway and surrounding urban environment, and maintain those natural elements of the river as it passes through the Downtown.

Any amendment to the Zoning Map shall be recommended for approval only if the proposed amendment is warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and including the subject property. The request is warranted by a change in conditions within the neighborhood and on the subject property. Since the time that this property was zoned into the T District, the neighborhood has undergone a shift in land uses; new buildings have been constructed or are in the planning stages. The former Giddings Machine Shop building on Willow Street has undergone a conversion to a small-scale performance facility occupied by the Bas Bleu Theatre. A site adjacent the theatre has been cleared and is in the design stage for a future housing project. As mentioned, the subject property has changed significantly. The applicant has demolished structures and built a new office building for Schrader Oil Co. as well as an adjacent truck wash facility. wu:4' FINDINGS OF FACT/CONI:me IU .°i In evaluating the request for n gMap r the Schrader Property at 320 N. College Avenue, with a designation of RDR, Staff makes the following findings of fact: A. The subject area is designated on the City Structure Plan as "Downtown" and with the "Poudre River Study Area". The request is therefore consistent with the City Structure Plan. May 17, 2005 -2- Item No. 13 On January 9, 2003, the ZBA granted a variance to permit the proposed construction within the T zone district. This approval was conditioned upon the rezoning of the property into the RDR district within six months of issuance of a temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the new office building.

There are two mandatory standards to be used in evaluating a request for a quasi-judicial rezoning. At least one of these standards must be met in order to justify the rezoning. In this case, the staff believes that both standards are met. These standards and an explanation of how the request complies are summarized below: A. Any amendment to the Zoning Map shall be recommended for approval only if the proposed amendment is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City Structure Plan, an element of the City's comprehensive plan, is a map that sets forth a basic framework, showing how Fort Collins should grow and evolve over the next 20 years. The map designates the subjeo7oRe 46ndjltllcluded in the "Poudre River Study Area" overlay.

BACKGROUND In March of 1997, as part of the comprehensive rezoning of the City, all properties were to be zoned based upon new zone district classifications created under City Plan. Staffs recommended zoning for the subject property was RDR. The property owner wanted I, Industrial. Because of the disagreement between staff and the property owner, the property was placed into the T Zone, which is a temporary "holding" zone that permits only existing uses. At that time, the City and County were also engaged in a joint study of the Poudre River and it was thought that the process would result in a more detailed land use analysis and then possible additional zoning changes. The ty; opt re u River Corridor chapter of the new City Plan, and the corresp., dire mg tri t �e dopted. During 2002, the property ow prel3ar d to ent plato demolish an office building on the site and an ancillary service area and construct a new office building and truck wash facility. In order to receive approval to construct new structures on this property in the T zone, the owner would have either: (1) received a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals, or (2) rezoned the property to River Downtown Redevelopment (RDR). The owner selected to seek a variance approval from the ZBA instead of a rezoning.
