Dear Resident:
October 1, 2003
The Planning and Zoning Board of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado*, on Thursday, October 16, 2003, at
6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers**, City Hall West, 300 LaPorte Avenue, will hold a public hearing on a
proposed project in your neighborhood. The proposed project is commonly known as Cambrigde House
Apartments — Modification of Standard, #6-03B.
On February 20, 2003, the Planning and Zoning Board granted the owner of the Cambridge House
Apartments a modification to Section 3.2.2 (K)(1)(a) of the Land Use Code to reduce the required number
of off-street parking spaces that would be required for an anticipated building expansion of an additional
18 dwelling units and 1,900 square feet of non-residential space. With the existing 102 apartments and
the proposed expansion, the amount of required parking was reduced from a minimum of 213 spaces to e
minimum of 175 spaces. Due to unanticipated design constraints, the applicant has discovered that there
isn't enough space on the site to integrate 175 parking spaces and a new mixed -use building, so the
applicant is requesting a slightly different modification to Section 3.2.3(K)(1)(a) of the Land Use Code.
The applicant proposes 2 alternatives, and requests that the Planning and Zoning Board choose one to
approve. Both alternatives would include building the originally anticipated additional 18 dwelling units,
however the first alternative (Alternative A) proposes to also provide 1,900 square feet of non-residential
space with a minimum of 170 parking spaces, while the second alternative (Alternative B) doesn't include
non-residential floor area in the new building, and would have a minimum of 174 on -site parking spaces.
Both the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Planning Staff consider your interest and input in this
matter, as well as your neighbor's input, an extremely important part of the City's review of this proposal.
If you are unable to attend the public hearing, but would like to provide input, written comments are
welcome.
Owners of record (derived from official records of the Larimer County Assessor) for properties within 500
feet of the site have been mailed notice of this hearing. Because of the lag time between occupancy and
record keeping, or because of rental situations, a few affected property owners may have been missed.
Please feel free to notify your neighbor of this pending meeting so all neighbors may have the opportunity
to attend.
