Dear Resident
On Monday, July 16, 2001 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the library in Fort Collins High School, located at
3400 Lambkin Way (at the northeast corner of Horsetooth Road and Timberline Road), the City of Fort
Collins Current Planning Department will conduct a neighborhood information meeting to discuss a
development proposal in your neighborhood.
The development proposal is located on a 226 acre parcel east of Timberline Road and north of Drake
Road. The property was assigned the Transition (T) zone designation upon annexation in 1997. The
Transition (T) zone is typically applied to properties for which there are no specific and immediate plans
for development. Now that an applicant wishes to propose development plans for the site, the City is
obligated to assign the property a zone district other than the Transition (T) zone in a timely manner. The
neighborhood meeting is to discuss the proposed rezoning and the Overall Development Plan proposed
for the site.
What can you expect from attending the neighborhood meeting? The purpose of a neighborhood
meeting is to open a line of communication between the applicant and the neighbors. This is the forum
through which the neighbors can express their concerns, City staff can explain the development review
process, and the applicant can explain to the neighbors what they are intending to do with the project and
answer questions from the neighbors. Meeting minutes are taken by City staff, and become part of the project
file. Neighborhood meetings are typically scheduled early in the project, before any design decisions have
been finalized so the flexibility still exists for the input of neighbors to perhaps be integrated into the project.
Why did you receive notice of this meeting? Reasonable efforts have been taken to invite property owners
of record within 1,000 feet of the site. A list of property owners was derived from official records of the Larimer
County Assessor. Because of the lag time between home occupancy and record keeping, or because of
rental situations, a few affected property owners may have been missed. Also, anyone who signed -in at the
design charette that was conducted for this area in late November 2000 or at the charette follow-up meeting
in late January 2001 is included in the mailing of this letter. Please feel free to notify your neighbor of this
pending meeting so all neighbors may have the opportunity to attend. If you are unable to attend this meeting,
written comments are welcome.
if y u have any questions regarding this matter, please call my office at 221-6750.
