depends on who the end user is, as to the number of
employees they will have.
(v) Description of rationale behind the assumptions and
choices made by the applicant.
The City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan (City Plan) states
that providing affordable housing throughout the community
is a goal of the City. This project satisfies the City's definition
as an "affordable housing" project. Additionally, in City Plan,
the goal of promoting infill over the development of virgin farm
land a the periphery of the community is also a goal of the
City. This project is on and infill site. Additionally, City Plan
encourages the enhancement of the downtown area, and
encourages the provision of additional housing in Downtown,
both of which are accomplished by this project. We see this
development as a win -win between the developer and the City.
(vi) The applicant shall submit as evidence of successful
completion of the applicable criteria, the completed
documents pursuant to these regulations for each
proposed use. The Planning Director may require, or the
applicant may choose to submit, evidence that is beyond
what is required in that section. Any variance from the
criteria shall be described.
As you can see, our submittal addresses the applicable criteria
in the Land Use Code, the Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards, the City Code, and the City's Stormwater
regulations. A modification to the parking standards has been
granted by the Planning and Zoning Board. See the Current
Planning file 29-03 and 29-03A.
(vii) Narrative description of how conflicts between land
uses or disturbances to wetlands, natural habitats and
features and or wildlife are being avoided to the maximum
extent feasible or are mitigated.
Because this is an infill site, there is already existing
development in every direction from this site. We propose a
density that is consistent with the zoning on the property,
which is Downtown — Civic Center Subarea.
