4. The Project Development Plan, upon adoption of the Alternative
Compliance Plan relating to solar -oriented lots, complies with the
applicable General Development Standards of Articles 3 of the LUC.
DECISION
The Adrian Subdivision, First Filing Project Development Plan - # 42-03A is hereby
approved subject to the following condition of approval:
The developer, at time of building permit application to the City of Fort
Collins, must provide building elevations sufficient to convey information
enabling City staff to determine if the structures comply with the
requirements set forth in Section 3.5.1(8) Architectural Character and
Section 3.5.1(C) Building Size, Height, Bulk, Mass, Scale of the City of
Fort Collins Land Use Code.

Division 3.6 - Transportation and Circulation
The Staff Report indicates that the Adrian PDP'meets the standards and requirements
set forth in Section 3.6.4, Transportation Level of Service Requirements. In particular,
the evidence at the hearing revealed that the Project will provide adequate vehicular,
pedestrian and bicycle facilities necessary to maintain the adopted transportation Level
of Service standards contained in Part 11 of the City of Fort Collins Multi -Modal
Transportation Level of Service Manual. As the Applicant testified, public sidewalks will
be provided along the east side of North Impala Drive and the internal private drive in
the development. In addition, the Project will provide interim pedestrian ways along
North Impala Drive adjacent to Parcel B of the Adrian ODP and along the south side of
West Vine Drive. Moreover, the addition of seven lots will not have a significant impact
on existing traffic, as evidenced by the City's waiver of the requirement for a
Transportation Impact study.
No evidence was presented at the hearing to contradict these findings. Therefore, the
Hearing Officer finds that this standard has been met.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
The Hearing Officer's Findings and Conclusions are hereby summarized as follows:
The POP has complied with and followed the applicable procedures set
forth in Division 2.2 in terms of notice and type 1 administrative public
hearing.
2. The seven single family detached residential lots proposed by the PDP
are permitted in the Low Density Residential Zone District, subject to this
Type 1 administrative review.
3. The PDP complies with the applicable Land Use and Development
Standards of the Low Density Residential District, as codified in Article 4
of the LUC.

The Hearing Officer understands the concerns of the neighboring property owners and
their impression that the Project is not the "same" as what is already in the area.
However, as Planning Staff noted at the hearing, "compatibility" does not mean
"identical' or the "same;" rather, it means complementary or harmonizing. This standard
of compatibility is especially hard to measure in the case of infill projects where existing
development is older than what is being proposed. In such infill development cases,
residential dwellings may appear larger in scale, massing and height, yet, in terms of an
objective "compatibility" standard may be deemed compatible with the neighborhood.
The individuals who testified against the height and density of the Project have
suggested that the Project should contain a maximum of three to four lots with one story
dwellings on each lot. Unfortunately, this request is not consistent with the criteria and
standards set forth in the Land Use Code or the approved ODP. In terms of limiting the
height of the dwellings, Section 4.4(E)(3) of the LUC allows building heights up to two
stories in this Zone District and the ODP allows for one and two story dwellings. The
PDP has set a maximum building height of 28 feet, which equates to one and one-half
story dwellings. In terms of the density, the Project complies with the Land Use
Standards of the Zone District and further complies with the ODP which was only
recently approved. Based on the requirements of the LUC as well as the City's decision
to approve the ODP for up to seven lots within Phase A of this Project, the Hearing
Officer finds that the Project is technically compatible with the surrounding
neighborhoods. Although this Project may not look the same as other residences in the
area, the evidence presented at the hearing indicates it is compatible as that term is
defined in the LUC. In order to ensure compatibility, the Staff Report includes a
proposed condition of approval that states:
The developer, at time of building permit application to the City of Fort
Collins, must provide building elevations sufficient to convey information
enabling City staff to determine if the structures comply with the
requirements set forth in Section 3.5.1(B) Architectural Character and
Section 3.5.1(C) Building Size, Height, Bulk, Mass, Scale of the City of
Fort Collins LAND USE CODE.
The Hearing Officer finds this condition of approval reasonable and sufficient to
address the concerns of compatibility from an architectural standpoint.

The Staff Report indicates that the Adrian PDP satisfies all applicable Building and
Project Compatibility standards contained in Section 3.5.1. According to the Staff
Report:
The proposed new single-family detached dwellings in the Adrian
Subdivision, First Filing will be of a similar size and height to existing
residential structures (single-family and two-family dwellings) in the area.
Based on the size of the proposed lots (6,000 square feet to 7,000 square
feet), the maximum square footage of the structures can range from 2,001
square feet to 2,350 square feet in size. They could be 1, 1.5. or 2 stories
in height and, although most of the homes in the area are 1-story
structures, there are existing single-family detached dwellings and two-
family dwellings in subdivisions to the east and west of the Adrian property
that are 1.5 and 2 stories high.
Compatibility, as defined in section 5.1.2 of the LUC, means:
the characteristics of different uses or activities or design which allow
them to be located near or adjacent to each other in harmony. Some
elements affecting compatibility include height, scale, mass and bulk
of structures. Other characteristics include pedestrian or vehicular
traffic, circulation, access and parking impacts. Other important
characteristics that affect compatibility are landscaping, lighting,
noise, odor and architecture. Compatibility does not mean "the same
as." Rather, compatibility refers to the sensitivity of development
proposals in maintaining the character of existing development.
The Hearing Officer notes that one of the primary areas of concern of the adjacent and
neighboring property owners expressed at the hearing was the lack of 'compatibility"
between the Projects proposed dwellings and the existing residential neighborhoods
that bonier it on all sides. In the eyes of the opponents, the proposed development is
not compatible because the single family dwellings are proposed to be one and one and
one-half (1.5) stories in height, when the surrounding homes are one story ranches. In
addition, many testified that the private drive and small lots also contribute to the
Project's incompatibility with the surrounding neighborhood.

drive access easement to provide access for Lots 1-4. This type of arrangement,
although not typical, is not prohibited by the LUC. Provided the access easement is
perpetual and non -revocable, access to Lots 14 from a public street is achieved via the
private drive easement.
In addition, Section 3.6.2(L)(1)(b) of the LUC allows private drives to serve as primary
access in single family developments to serve not more than four lots, provided that the
drive is connected to only one street. The Project meets these criteria. Although
numerous individuals testified in opposition to the private drive easement and its
configuration, the Hearing Officer is required to apply the requirements and criteria in
the LUC.
There was also ample testimony at the hearing regarding the issue of storm drainage
and the Projects impact on existing drainage problems associated with Impala Drive.
According to the Applicant, the Project includes a 10,000 cubic foot detention pond
which will allow run-off at less than historic rates. The run-off is designed to drain into
Impala Drive, and in order to accommodate this drainage, the Applicant will also be
required to improve Impala Drive adjacent to the site with curb, gutter and asphalt. The
testimony from the Applicants engineer indicates that the Project's stormwater drainage
will be adequately addressed through the detention pond and other improvements
associated with the Project.
Section 3.5.1. Building and Project Compatibility
The purpose of Section 3.5.1 is to "ensure that the physical and operational
characteristics of proposed buildings and uses are compatible when considered within
the context of the surrounding area." Pursuant to Section 3.5.1(13):
New developments in or adjacent to existing developed areas shall be
compatible with the established architectural character of such areas by
using a design that is complementary... Compatibility shall be achieved
through techniques such as the repetition of roof lines, the use of similar
proportions in building mass and outdoor spaces, similar relationships to
the street, the use of building materials that have color shades and
textures similar to those existing in the immediate area surrounding the
proposed new development.

possible to make a "solar -oriented lot" front onto a north - south oriented
street.
The plan, as proposed, will accomplish the purpose of this section of the
code better than a plan which complies with the standard. As an architect I
have long been interested in both passive and active solar homes.
Unfortunately, I have had few opportunities to actually design solar
houses, though primarily due to the aesthetic issues that come with solar
design. Most home owners object to the look of most active and some
passive solar designs. It is for this reason that I believe that the best
chance of accommodating solar design is to orient the sides of the houses
to the south. This way the solar aspect of the house design is not on the
primary facade of the house. I believe that this will result in a less
objectionable front facade and in more buyers willing to entertain the
possibility of a solar system.
The Case Planner, Mr. OR, has recommended approval of the atemative site layout.
As the Staff Report explains on page 7, "the site layout does provide a configuration that
orients 3 to 4 of the 7 lots in a north - south direction (essentially, the front lot line being
within 30 degrees of a true east - west line), thereby allowing houses on these lots to
implement solar systems in a traditional manner. The applicant's request to design
homes with the solar systems on the south sides of the structures presents an
innovative approach and solution to a City purpose."
Given the orientation of the Property to North Impala Drive and the provision for solar
energy use on 3-4 lots, the Hearing Officer finds that the alternative site layout
accomplishes the purposes of Section 3.2.3(B) equally or better than a plan which
complies with the standards.
Section 3.3 — Enalneerina Standards.
The Staff Report indicates that the Project complies with the applicable Plat Standards
set forth in Section 3.3.1. In particular, the evidence at the hearing revealed that the
proposed plat for the Property will be in compliance with Section 3.3.1(A) General
Provisions and Section 3.3.1(B), Lots. Of particular note is the Projects use of a private

(3) a comer lot with a south lot line oriented to within thirty (30) degrees of
a true east -west line, which south lot line adjoins a public street or
permanently reserved open space; provided, however, that the abutting
street right-of-way or open space has a minimum north -south dimension of
at least fifty (50) feet. For the purposes of this definition, "permanently
reserved open space" shall include, without limitation, parks, cemeteries,
golf courses and other similar outdoor recreation areas, drainage ditches
and ponds, irrigation ditches and reservoirs, lakes, ponds, wetlands, open
spaces reserved on plats for neighborhood use and other like and similar
permanent open space.
According to the Staff Report, none of the seven lots meet the intent of the LUC. In
accordance with Section 3.2.3(E), the Applicant has requested approval of an
aftemative site layout. The Hearing Officer is authorized to approve an aftemative site
layout that may be substituted in whole or in part for a plan meeting the standards in this
Section subject to the following review criteria:
In approving an aftemative plan, the decision maker shall find that the
proposed alternative plan accomplishes the purposes of this Section
equally well or better than a plan which complies with the standards of this
Section.
In reviewing the proposed alternative plan, the decision maker shall take
into account whether the aftemative design enhances neighborhood
continuity and connectivity, fosters nonvehicular access, and preserves
existing natural or topographic conditions on the site.
In the Applicant's written request for aftemative compliance, the Applicant explains that:
...the development site has approximately 276 feet of frontage along
Impala Drive. Impala Drive already exists and is a north - south oriented
street. When lots front onto a north - south street, they naturally do not
comply with the definition of a "solar -oriented lot" because the front lot
lines orient to the east and west. In accordance with the definition of a
"solar -oriented lot", except in the case of comer lots, it's simply not

Section 3.2.1 — Landscanina and Tree Protection.
The Staff Report explains that the PDP complies with Section 3.2.1, concerning
Landscaping and Tree Protection. The Hearing Officer finds that the PDP meets this
Section of the LUC.
Section 3.2.2 - Access, Circulation and Parkina.
The Staff Report indicates that the PDP satisfies applicable provisions of this Section.
In particular, the Staff Report notes compliance with Section 3.2.2(C)(6) in that the
Projects on -she pedestrian and bicycle circulation system is designed to provide for
direct connections to major pedestrian and bicycle destinations such as Irish
Elementary School that is located to the south and west of the Adrian Subdivision.
There was no contrary evidence presented at the hearing; therefore, the Hearing Officer
finds the Project in compliance with this Section. In addition, the PDP complies with the
minimum parking requirements set forth in Section 3.2.2(K)(1)(c) in that there will be at
least two on -site panting spaces for each of the seven single family detached dwellings.
Section 3.2.3(B) Solar -Oriented Residential Lots.
As stated in the Staff Report, the PDP does not satisfy the requirement set forth in
Section 3.2.3(B) pertaining to solar -oriented residential .lots. Specifically, Section
3.2.3(B) requires that 65% of the lots within the Adrian PDP must conform to the
definition of a solar -oriented lot in order to preserve the protection for solar energy use.
Section 5.1 of the LUC defines a "solar -oriented lot" as:
(1) a lot with a front lot line oriented to within thirty (30) degrees of a true
east -west line. When the lot line abutting a street is curved, the "front lot
line" shall mean the chord or straight line connecting the ends of the
curve. For a flag lot, the "front lot line" shall mean the lot line that is most
parallel to the closest street, excluding the "pole portion of the flag lot; or
(2) a lot which, when a straight line is drawn from a point midway between
the side lot lines at the required front yard setback to a point midway
between the side lot lines at the required rear yard setback, is oriented to
within thirty (30) degrees of true north along said line; or

Approval with conditions
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND PROCEDURE
This PDP Application is a request for a total of seven (7) residential lots for development
of single-family detached dwellings on 1.2 acres. The City has approved this Project as
a qualified affordable housing project. The property is located at the southeast comer of
West Vine Drive and North Impala Drive. This Project is part of an Overall Development
Plan ("ODP') which was approved by the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board
in September, 2004. As the Staff Report explains, the approved ODP is a two -phased
project consisting of the following:
Parcel A - Proposed single-family detached residential (no more than 7
