include the installation of curb -and -gutter, sidewalks, asphalt paving, bike lanes, and storm
sewers.
Staff has coordinated this project with the planned construction of a new trunk sewer line to
be constructed by the City's water and wastewater utility. These projects both require a full
street closure in order to construct them safely and efficiently. By coordinating schedules
and completing the work simultaneously, only one street closure will be necessary. The
construction is planned to begin in March of 2005. The full closure of the roadway will last
approximately 3 months.
22. First Reading of Ordinance No. 193, 2004. Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort
Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for that Certain Property Known as the
Running Deer Natural Area Rezoning.
The rezoning request is consistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan designations
of both "Poudre River" and "Open Lands, Parks, Stream Corridors." The majority of the
properties contained within these "green" corridor designations are large publicly owned
parks, natural areas and open lands that have a community -wide emphasis or other
characteristics which warrant inclusion under this separate designation rather than inclusion
in an adjoining neighborhood or other District designation.
The T- Transition Zone District is intended for properties for which there are no specific and
immediate plans for development. The only permitted uses are those existing at the date the
property was placed into the district. Rezoning the property will allow the Natural Areas
Program to move forward with its plans to construct a parking lot and a trailhead to provide
public access to the property
There are roughly 14.828 acres on the northern end of the property which are currently being
]eased by the City to an adjacent business. This area is not included in the rezoning request
and will remain within the T — Transition Zone District until the future use of the property
has been determined.
