Another issue within this area is the presence of a high groundwater table. The water level is such that we cannot build basements, and market information tells us that it will be very difficult to sell larger lots with no basements. We can, however, market smaller single-family cottages, and multifamily units without basements. Finally, we have been told by City Planning Staff that the Neighborhood Commercial requirement has been satisfied by the Rigden Farm Commercial area. We still plan to provide a small retail area along Timberline and our proposed main street, to serve internal residents needs. - All of these factors have led us to slightly modify the size and shape of the Zoning Designations within the Johnson Property, while still tying to achieve the goals set out in the City Plan and to create a livable, walkable, diverse neighborhood.

Reason for Request: Currently the Johnson Property is zoned transition (T) and needs to be rezoned prior to any development process. We are making minor modifications to the zoning suggested by the City Structure Plan. The following issues and influences have driven these modifications. The first issue is that of the Historic Preservation Department wishes for preservation of the Farmsteads and how this relates to the surrounding uses. In both cases we have provided a "Farmstead Buffer Zone" of a minimum of 200' around each farmstead. This buffer zone will be enforced through restrictive covenants and conditions that will be enforced by either the city or the HOA. This will limit the use allowed in these areas as well as prevent any removal or modification of the existing structures unless otherwise approved by the City. As this specific use relates poorly to other typical industrial uses, we have chosen to eliminate the remainder of the Industrial zoning adjacent to the Jessup farm, and instead place lower residential uses adjacent, which we feel is more compatible with the rural residential character of the farmsteads. We feel that the railroad line and the six lane Timberline Road are logical and significant barriers to use as land use transitions. To the south, adjacent to the Johnson Farm Buffer, we have placed a large natural open space and very low density residential. This way the rural residential character of the Farmstead is not affected by higher density uses. Again, we feel that these are both compatible uses given the nature of the farmsteads. The second area we feel is a potential land use conflict is the relationship between the Industrial uses, the wastewater treatment plant, and the Structure Plan recommended Urban Estates. We feel that the adjacent Uses are not desirable uses to abut the largest lots in the neighborhood. As we are required to place a certain amount of very low density housing in this area we have made minor adjustments in suggested zoning to address these different uses. First we have reconfigured the shape of the urban estates zoning area to have some of it away from the edge of the property. We have also configured the detention pond to extend further to the north along the tracks to act as a buffer. Additionally, we have coordinated with the wastewater facility and will provide a linear buffer (composed of berming, fencing, and landscape) adjacent to the treatment plant, to screen and separate these uses. We also want to integrate different housing types around the central park. We have modified the Low Mixed Neighborhood boundary line so that a portion of it touches the park. This will allow us to have a variety of housing types adjacent to the central park. These housing types could vary from Single-family Detached, Singly Family CITY OF FORT COLLINS REZONING PETITION Petitioner: James Construction Company, Inc. d/b/a James Company 2919 Valmont Road, Suite 204 Boulder CO, 80301 James Postle, President Dan Wenzinger, Chief Operating Officer Dave Miller, Secretary Gere Kjosness, Assistant to Secretary James Postle, Treasurer Owner: Spring Creek Farms, LLC c/o Glen Johnson 3432 Carlton Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80525 Glen Johnson, Manager Calvin Johnson, Manager The City Council of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado.
