C. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 066, 2003, Amending the Zoning Map of the City of
Fort Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for the Certain Properties Known as
the East Mulberry Corridor Plan Rezoning.
On April 15, City Council adopted on First Reading, Ordinance No. 066, 2003, Amending the
Zoning Map by changing the zoning classification for the properties known as the East Mulberry
Corridor Plan as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board. Prior to Second Reading,
Council requested staff complete the following tasks:
Require a notice for future residential owners and tenants of MMN to be made aware of
the existing Airport operations including visual and noise impacts.
Staff has included a zoning condition requiring a notice to be on record with the Larimer County
Clerk and Recorder notifying any future residential owners within the MMN ofthe existing airport
operations (see Section 3 of Ordinance No. 066, 2003).
2. Contact the three property owners to assess their response to the recommended changes.
Staff has contacted all three -property owners and has provided their responses below.
3. Develop required resolutions for adoption of the related Plan amendments.
Staff has developed the required Resolutions for the amendments to the East Mulberry Corridor
Plan and City Structure Plan (items A & B above).
Staff believes that the MMN designation raises additional issues on the adjacent parcels and that
the pattern recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board needs further review to determine the
appropriate land use and zoning based on this change.
As a result of the staff assessment described below in the background information, staff supports
changing the 1.79-acre parcel from Employment (E) to Medium Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood (MMN), and change the 6.47-acre parcel from Employment (E) to Industrial (1)
land use designation for both the East Mulberry Corridor Plan and City Structure Plan Map.
In agreeing with the stated Plan amendments mentioned above, staff supports the rezoning of the
(1.79-acre) and (15.79-acre) parcels from Industrial (I), to Medium Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood (MMN).
The Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (MMN) will provide a transition between the
existing industrial uses to the east and existing commercial and residential uses to the south and
north. The three properties are located within the existing developed area of the City of Fort
