HomeMy WebLinkAboutU-4 ODP & MODIFICATION OF STANDARDS - 37-00 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 -9
12. Current Planning:
a. You will likely be required to provide access into your site from Shields
Street as well as at least one access point from Vine Drive.
b. Refer to Section 3 (General Development Standards), and Section 4.4 (LMN
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.
c. There are length restrictions and articulation requirements for rear walls of
multifamily garages if you are considering such garages
d. Street trees are required at to be located along the streets at 30 foot to
40 foot spacing intervals.
e. Full tree stocking is required in all landscaped areas within 50 feet of the
building.
f. 5 foot wide foundation plantings are required along 50% of all exposed
sections of building walls.
g. Parking lots shall be screened from the street and adjacent properties.
h. Dumpsters must be screened.
i. Primary entrances must face a connecting walkway and be no further than
200 feet from a street sidewalk. "Connecting walkway" is defined in Article
5 of the LUC, and specifically calls out that such a sidewalk must connect
the building entrance to the street sidewalk without requiring pedestrians to
walk across parking lots or driveways, around building, or follow parking lot
outlines which are not aligned to a logical route.
9
e. Show the internal pedestrian circulation on site.
f. A pedestrian connection to Gasamat should be provided.
g. A pedestrian connection to the park to the south should be provided.
h. You will be required to make sidewalk and parkway improvements to Shields
Street, and to Vine if lot 2 is part of your proposed plan.
9. Historic Preservation:
a. As long as there are no structures over 50 years old on the site, no
comment.
10. Advance Planning:
a. The possibility of rezoning to MMN is remote.
b. Being an affordable housing project is currently a justifiable reason for the
Planning and Zoning Board to grant a modification. You should probably be
aware that there are currently discussions about taking out the example
reference to affordable housing in section 2.8.2(H)(2) out of the LUC in the
upcoming spring Land Use Code revisions.
c. The project currently does not qualify for affordable housing. The project
cannot be recognized as affordable until you have met the requirements for
such. See Ken Waido for any questions.
d. If you choose to seek a modification, arguments that should be discussed
are the projects proximity to infrastructure that would support the density
such as schools, parks, transit, etc.
e. If you choose to seek a modification to the density limit of 12 units an acre.
You should be aware that when this section of the code was under initial
consideration for inclusion in the LUC, 14 dwelling units was discussed as
possible an appropriate density. You might have luck getting staff/board
support at 14 units per acre, but you might have difficulty getting support
for much higher than that.
f. If the project qualifies as affordable, you are eligible for:
• Priority processing (quicker review time),
• Development review fee waived,
• Sales tax rebate,
• Impact fee delay.
11. Park Planning:
a. The neighborhood and community parkland fees are based on square footage
of each unit, and are due at the time of building permit.
b. A fee schedule including the park fees was given to you at the Conceptual
Review meeting.
5
b. If there any prairie dogs on site, they will have to be relocated or humainly
eradicated.
c. Trash enclosures should accommodate recycling containers of sufficient size
to accommodate the type of recycling appropriate for the building use
(newspapers, cans, plastics, glass etc.), and dumpsters must be enclosed
within a fenced or walled area.
d. We ask that a single trash hauler be used to minimize traffic impacts.
e. Native grasses and plant materials should be used wherever appropriate, and
bluegrasses should be minimized.
f. If construction lasts for more than 6 months, you will have to file a permit
for fugitive dust control with Lorimer County.
6. Fire Department:
a. Access to the rear of every building must be no further than 150 feet from
where the fire truck would park measured as the hose would lay.
b. Address must be visible from the street using a minimum 6" numerals on a
contrasting background.
c. A fire hydrant must be within 300' of every building (measured as a hose
would lay) with a capacity of 1500 g.p.m @ 20 p.s.i. Hydrants must be spaced
no further apart than 600 feet on center.
d. The fire code doesn't require you to setback your development from the
existing fuel tanks, however you are required to file a Hazardous Material
Impact Analysis. The Hazardous Material Impact Analysis needs to address
the prevailing air, the spill flow directions, and the potential impacts to the
nearest storm drainage system.
7. Light and Power:
a. You have a couple of choices to get power into this site:
• Extend to the site from Vine Drive and possibly use that existing
10 foot utility easement, or
• Obtain an off -site easement at least 6 feet wide along the
Gasamat property.
b. You will need a utility coordination meeting to coordinate meter locations
with the other on -site utilities.
c. Normal development fees apply.
8. Transportation:
a. Depending on the results of the TIS, you may be required to make
improvements to the Shields & Vine intersection.
b. A transit route currently runs down Vine Drive..
c. Bike racks must be provided for each building.
d. Ensure that the site plan avoids parking lot pedestrian/vehicle conflicts.
4
Offsite easements and conveyances may be needed. If there is a change in
water quality, quantity or character, an easement is required.
e. Water quality needs to be addressed with onsite extended detention which
can be added to the quantity detention.
3. Engineering Department:
a. Street Oversizing Fees would be between $948 and $1021 per unit. Check
with Matt Baker for the specific amount of this fee for your project.
b. Additional street right-of-way and utility easements must be dedicated
along Shields and improved to minor arterial standards (84 feet of right-of-
way). Shields currently exists with 50.5 feet of right-of-way (full width).
c. If plating lot 2, dedicate right-of-way for Vine and do improvements.
d. Use of the private drive can only be done if this is considered multi -family.
e. Sidewalk, curb, and gutter may be required to extend to the nearest
improved arterial depending on your projected traffic counts.
f. The project will require a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) that addresses site
access, and all modes of transportation including automobile, bicycle,
pedestrian, and�tr��,.
g. You may be prov a provide access or stub a future connection to
adjacent developable properties.
h. Street connection to the arterial cannot exceed 660 feet.
i. Because of parking set back requirements, you would probably lose a few
spots as shown.
j. You will be required to have a Development Agreement, a Development
Construction Permit, and Utility Plans.
4. Water & Wastewater Utility:
a. Ex. Mains: 12-inch water main in Shields; 12-inch water and 30-inch sewer in
Vine.
b. Connect to the existing water distribution system at two locations,
preferably on Shields and on Vine.
c. Extend sewer either in Shields or in private drive connection off Vine.
d. If sewer is not in R.O.W., provide a 30 foot wide easement.
e. The water conservation standards for landscape and irrigation will apply.
f. Plant Investment Fees and water rights will be due at time of building
permit.
5. Natural Resources:
a. An Ecological Characterization Study may need to be provided if Natural
Resources staff determines that Aurther's Ditch has significant plant life or
wildlife corridors associated with it.

COMMENTS:
1. Zoning Department:
a. The site is in the LMN zoning district.
b. Because your site is less than 20 acres, there is no minimum density
requirement for the property.
c. If your project in fact becomes designated as an affordable housing project
by the Advance Planning Department, and because your project is smaller
than 10 acres, you will be allowed to build at a density of 12 units per gross
acre of land.
d. Two possible ways you might be allowed to build at the densities you desire
would be either to rezone the property to MMN, or request a modification
to the 4.4(D)(1)(b) of the LUC to increase the maximum density allowed for
your project.
V The required number of parking spaces will be based on the number of
bedrooms.
The number of required handicap spaces are based on the total number of
parking spaces in the project.
g. You must provide adequate bicycle parking.
h. Size your trash enclosures based on the number of units using them. Include
recycling.
Oi Six percent of the interior area of the parking lot shall be devoted to
landscaped areas.
ONo more than 15 spaces are allowed in a row without an intervening landscape
peninsula.
k. The buildings are limited to 2 2 stories in the LMN zoning district.
2. Stormwater Utility Department:
a. This site is in the West Vine drainage basin where the new development fee
is $7,004/acre and is subject to the runoff coefficient reduction. The site
is in inventory grid #6F.
b. The site is also in the West Vine floodplain which is a no -rise floodplain.
HEC-2 must be used to demonstrate no -rise.
c. Floodplain Use Permits would be required. The no -rise criteria is part of
this permit. Other requirements are elevation of 18 inches above the 100
year floodplain water surface. This is being updated so the master planning
division will work with the design engineer.to establish the new water
surface elevation with the new runoff requirement. For all floodplain
requirements, please contact Marsha Hilmes-Robinson at 224-6036.
d. On -site detention would be required and the standard release rate would be
the 2 year historic. The outfall may be a problem if the existing site
drainage does not follow a dedicated drainage easement or street R.O.W.
