Dear Resident:
On Thursday, December 19, 2002, at 6:30 p.m., in City Council Chambers`, 300
LaPorte Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado, the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning
Board will conduct a public hearing to consider a development proposal in your
neighborhood. The project is known as Garth Commercial Plaza, Modification of
Standards, #20-02A.
The property is a 1.28 acre vacant inf ill site just southwest of the intersection of
Boardwalk Drive and Mason Street. The owner was previously granted two
modifications to the Land Use Code on May 2, 2002 that permitted the building to be
constructed in a configuration that does not satisfy the following two sections of the Land
Use Code: [1] section 3.5.3(B)(2) which requires that no vehicle use area be located
between the building and the street ; and [2] section 3.5.3(B)(2)(b) which requires that a
commercial building be located no further away from a minor arterial than 15 feet. As a
result of the 2 approved modifications the site is permitted to'be configured in a way that
has a vehicular area between the building and the street, and a front setback exceeding
the maximum allowed setback of 15 feet. The applicant would like to request an
additional modification to Section 3.5.3(B)(1) of the land use code which requires that
main entries face and open directly onto a connecting walkway, without requiring the
pedestrian to cross a vehicular use area. If this additional modification request is
granted, the sidewalk that connects the building to the street sidewalk will be allowed to
cross vehicular use areas.
The list of affected property owners for this public meeting is derived from official records
of the Larimer County Assessor. 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.
If you have a questions regarding this matter, please call our office at 970-221-6750.
