Reason for Request:
Rezoning the property from Public Open Lands to River Downtown Redevelopment District
would be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The current use of the property does
not meet the purpose of the POL designation. The educational research facility operated by
Colorado State University, which is located in the Old Power Plant was an existing use prior to
the City's Land Use Code and is therefore considered an existing limited permitted use.
Rezoning the property to RDR would allow Colorado State University the opportunity to
consider expanding their operations as a permitted use.
The zoning designation of POL limits the use of the property to parks, open lands, cemeteries,
composting facilities, agricultural activities, golf courses, wireless communication equipment
and facilities, and public facilities. If Colorado State University should vacate the property,
present zoning restrictions would severely limit the City's ability to find a new tenant. As there
is no projected use of this building in the City's facilities planning, the property could very likely
remain unused if such a situation occurred. With the RDR designation, the property could be
more readily modified to accommodate other compatible uses.
The Downtown River Corridor Implementation Program discusses the themes for the Old Power
Plant Site as 1) Retain existing, public use; 2) Recreational opportunities; 3) Natural area buffer
to river; 4) Enhanced wildlife corridor; 5) Site restoration/revitalization; 6) Potential new minor
public uses behind main Power Plant building; and 7) Conscientious stewardship. The proposed
rezoning would better enable the City to meet these themes.
Finally, land zoned Downtown District, River Downtown Redevelopment District, and
Community Commercial — Poudre River District, surround the site. The rezoning of 450 North
College would provide a more consistent application of the Downtown River Corridor Vision.
