Rezoning Request
facility, thus creating the need for rezoning. From our perspective, it would seem
more reasonable to rezone this parcel to the C-C-N district since the existing facility is
for the most part not what we would characterize as residential in nature, either by
appearance or by function. It is not incompatible with the C-C-N zoning since this
zone seems to (by design) acknowledge that it is in fact a transitional zone from the
downtown area to adjacent residential neighborhoods. C-C-N zoning currently exists
to the south of this site, with L-M-N zoning existing to the east and to the north of this
parcel. Rezoning to either district would not create spot zoning and would apparently
meet both the intent and the written guidelines contained within the City Plan for Fort
Collins.
In conclusion, we are requesting a rezoning of this parcel so that we may continue to
provide services to kids at risk. For ten (10) years we have been providing services for
teenagers and young adults in this community. We take a comprehensive approach
that includes options for education, daycare, counseling, and now, a safe place for
them to stay when there is nowhere else to go. With the acquisition and remodeling of
this building, we will be able to provide more services to the community. We ask that
you look favorably on our request so that we can continue to provide services to a
portion of our local population that is frequently overlooked and underrepresented.

from its current zoning of Industrial (I) to either the Community Commercial — North

staff of the Group Home.

The existing facility is located on approximately six (6) acres and most recently
functioned as an assisted living facility. With minor interior remodeling, we can

provide the necessary rooms for Frontier High School in the southwest wing, the
Childcare Center in the northwest wing (which is located closest to the existing
LEE SOUTHARD
residential development to the north) and the Group Home on the southeast end of the
building. Offices and support services will be scattered throughout.

It appears that either of the zones requested would allow all of the uses identified
above. The existing Industrial zoning for the parcel does not allow a group home
