HomeMy WebLinkAboutTIDAL WAVE CARWASH - PDP - 38-01 - CORRESPONDENCE - (4)9. Advance Planning:
a. Build to lines will need to be adhered to as specified in the LUC (building
located between 10 and 25 feet behind street right-of-way.
b. If this is truly a self serve car wash that has no employees that stay on site
for a shift of duty, you may have a justifiable argument why not to provide a
connecting walkway from a "main entrance" to a street sidewalk. More
detailed discussion should take place on how to address this issue.
10. Current Planning:
a. Refer to Section 3 (General Development Standards), and Section 4.17 ( C -
Commercial Zoning District) in the Land Use Code for the standards that
apply to your propose development. The Land Use Code is available to view
on the internet at www.ci.fort-collins.co.us/CITY HALL/CODES.
b. A neighborhood meeting will be required because of the close proximity to
the fox den and neighborhood concern regarding impacts development in the
area may have on the foxes.
c. The land use code states in Section 3.5.3(B)(1) that, "at least one main
entrance of gny commercial or mixed -use building shall face and open
directly onto a connecting walkway with pedestrian frontage." You are
proposing the use "minor vehicle repair, servicing, and maintenance," which is
a commercial building. As Advance Planning stated, you may have a valid A —
argument as to why you should not be required to satisfy this standard. We f
have a process for requesting exceptions to the code. This process is called
a "modification of standards". Please contact me to discuss how to request a
modification if you determine that is the direction you would like to go with t�
this issue.
d. Section 3.5.3(C)(1) of the Land Use Code requires that commercial buildings
cannot exceed a height to width ratio of 1:3. As proposed, the elevations
shown depict a section of building that is more than 3 times wider than it is
tall, therefore this section would need to integrate variation in the massing
including both a change in height and a projecting or recessed element on
the fagade.
e. Ron Fuchs was the planner at the conceptual review meeting, but the project
planner from this point on will be Troy Jones.

to accommodate the type of recycling appropriate for the building use, and
dumpsters must be enclosed within a fenced or walled area.
c. We ask that a single trash hauler be used to minimize traffic impacts.
d. Native grasses and plant materials should be used wherever appropriate, and
bluegrasses should be minimized.
e. If construction lasts for more than 6 months, you will have to file a permit
for fugitive dust control with Lorimer County.
