The building existed as an office building occupied last by Larimer County until approximately June 1999.
Subsequently the building was unoccupied for a period of over a year. The 12 months of non use as an
office eliminated the exception use in the NCM zoning district. The building, through a" Building
Permit Review" process, was approved for a two family dwelling. A building permit was issued on
December 28, 2001 and a certificate of occupancy was issued Aug. 8, 2002. The duplex was constructed
on the southern half of the building and no changes will take place with the duplex or the approved
parking/landscaped areas.
The current submittal is a request to change the building from a two dwelling unit to a three dwelling
unit. All construction will take place on northern half of the building. The existing first floor will be
remodeled and a second story shall be placed over the existing building foundation.( a second story deck
will extend over the existing front wall see elevations). As part of this submittal, a request is made to
modify section 4.7(E)(4) concerning side yard setbacks. The request is to reduce the required 5 feet
setback on the west property line to the existing 3.25 feet and to reduce the East side setback from 8 feet to
the existing 3.5 feet.
