The proposed zone change from the existing RL — Low Density Residential to LMN — Low -Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood is supported by the City Structure Plan, which designates this site as Low Density Mixed Use Neighborhood. The proposed rezone will contribute to a compact urban form (LU-1.1) by providing the opportunity for the undeveloped site within this area to develop as part of the mixed -use neighborhood, potentially providing neighborhood services to the surrounding area. With existing zoning, this site would likely be developed as single family detached homes. The potential for neighborhood services in this area also contributes to an appropriate mix of land uses that maximize the potential for neighbors to utilize these services, versus driving longendistances for similar services (T-5.1). This rezone will make it possible to provide a true "Neighborhood Center" for the Ridgewood Hills neighborhood, and surrounding neighborhoods (LMN-2.2). LUC 2.9.4(H) also provides that additional considerations may be taken into account. The first consideration is whether the proposed rezone is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the site, and is the appropriate zone for the site. In this case, this is one of the primary reasons this rezone is requested. The proposed rezone will provide the appropriate zoning for this site, whereas, current zoning creates a situation where the existing uses are not in conformance with the zoning district. Roughly half of the Ridgewood Hills development is also zoned LMN, and the Shenandoah development to the east is zoned MMN. The second consideration is in regards to the impact to the natural environment. This site is largely developed, therefore, this rezone should have no significant impact on the natural environment. The third consideration is whether the proposed rezone results in a logical and orderly development pattern. The proposed rezone does, in fact, contribute to a logical and orderly development pattern in that the remaining undeveloped lot may be permitted to develop, in the future, as a part of this mixed -use neighborhood. With the current RL zoning, this site would likely be forced to develop as one or two single family detached homes — which would be out of character for this portion of the Ridgewood Hills development which contains a day care center, townhomes and patio homes. CITY OF FORT COLLINS REZONING PETITION Petitioner: Melody Homes, Inc. 11031 Sheridan Boulevard Westminster, CO 80020 Owner: Melody Homes, Inc. 11031 Sheridan Boulevard Westminster, CO 80020 To the City Council of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado: I, the undersigned, do hereby respectfully petition and request that the City Council amend the zoning ordinance of the City of Fort Collins by changing the zoning of the hereinafter described parcel: A parcel at the southeast intersection of Trilby Road and Avondale Drive in Fort Collins, containing 14.01 acres, more or less, from the Low Density Residential (RL) zoning district to the Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (LMN) zoning district. See attached Exhibit A for a full Legal Description of this parcel Reason for Request: When the Ridgewood Hills PUD was zoned `RL,' in the city-wide rezoning in 1997, a pocket of legally -existing non -conforming uses was created. We propose a zoning change to provide the appropriate zoning of `LMN' for this area of development. The existing uses (townhomes, patio homes, a day care center) in the area are permitted in the proposed district, and the single undeveloped lot will then have the opportunity to develop as an integral part of this neighborhood in the future. Please attach list of names and addresses of all persons owning land (as per Larimer County Assessor's office on date of request) within 500 feet of any portion of the area under petition for rezoning.
