provided near the employee entrance at the south end of the proposed building.
Parking lot lighting has been accomplished with three freestanding pole fixtures.
Each fixture shall be a 20 foot tall bronze anodized pole set on top of a 30 inch
high concrete pier. Each pole will have a single fixture head with a 400 watt HID
metal halide lamp. Fixture heads will be down directional cut-off luminare so that
there will be no illumination or glare on adjacent properties. This lighting will
provide a general illumination of one footcandle of light within the parking areas
with no more than 8 footcandles of light directly beneath each fixture. This
lighting plan is consistent with lighting plan at the Internal Medicine Clinic located
to the north of this site.
The building elevations feature. a combination of concrete block and brick
masonry materials. The base of the building is an integral color buff -colored
split -face concrete block with a single mortar groove to form an 8" x 8" unit
pattern. The remainder of the masonry fagade will be a red toned face brick
veneer with two soldier courses framing the awning windows in the upper portion
of the wall. A continuous stone sill of Masonville Buff Sandstone will separate
the concrete block and brick wall areas.
The roof areas will feature a 6/12 sloped hip roof design which will be finished
with either a light -weight concrete file (flat profile) or 30-year high definition
fiberglass composition shingles in a brown earth tone color. The sloped roof will
conceal a central flat roofed area with a parapet height of approximately 4'-6'" to
screen all roof mounted mechanical equipment from view.
The waiting room, general office areas and physical therapy areas of the building
will feature larger, full -depth window areas while exam rooms and other
treatment areas will feature smaller awning style windows beneath the roof
overhang. All windows are proposed with divided muntins to add visual interest
and a warm residential character to the building elevations. The maximum height
of the single story building will be 24 feet.
The construction of this facility is proposed to begin in the fall of this year with
completion of all construction work and building occupancy to occur by August of
2001.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, "City Plan" policies and principals for
non-residential buildings within the CCR zone district and all applicable general
development standards are achieved by this plan with respect to:
Landscape buffering and screening
Parking lot landscaping (perimeter and interior)
Access, parking and circulation
Site lighting and

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBMITTAL
JULY 319 2000
STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES:
GeneralCare Medical Services, Inc. is proposing to develop an 8,600 square foot
medical care clinic which will be located on a 1 Y2 acre site east of Lemay
Avenue, south of Poudre River Drive, west of Hoffman Mill Road, and north of
the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. The property is located within the CCR
(Community Commercial-Poudre River District) zone district.
The existing GeneralCare clinic has been in operation in a 4,000 S.F. leased
facility at 1025 Pennock Place for the past 9 years. The clinic provides primary
care and urgent care medical services with an emphasis on occupational
medicine. This business employs a total of approximately 15 people with a staff
of 6 to 8 employees (including 2 medical doctors) present at any given time. The
clinic will be open seven days per week during the following times:
Monday thru Friday 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Sunday 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
The proposed clinic building is located in the northwest portion of the site with
parking areas located to the east and south of the building. The southernmost
portion of the parking lot is intended for the medical staff/employee parking area.
The placement of the building satisfies the "build -to -line" requirement along
Lemay Avenue. The building is set back approximately 25 feet from the Poudre
River Drive R.O.W. line, however, a pedestrian plaza or connecting walkway has
been developed along this frontage to provide an exception to the build -to line
standard and provide for pedestrian access to the clinic without crossing
vehicular driveway or parking areas. A similar pedestrian walkway has been
established at the south side of the clinic with a connection to the existing 7
foot wide attached sidewalk at Lemay Avenue.
To the extent practical at this site, parking areas have been located behind the
proposed building in the areas of least visibility from the arterial roadways.
Intensive landscape screening or bufferyards have been proposed between the
parking areas and Hoffman Mill Road to the east and the railroad tracks to the
south.
Parking standards for this use provide for a maximum of 39 off-street parking
spaces. 37 parking spaces have been provided which include two handicapped
