parents and institutional investors. The housing concept is centered on a bedroom with the features a
student needs to efficiently live and study. The room is private ( with a key locked door), a bed,
dresser, a built-in study desk with hutch, telecommunications, and usually a private bath. High-speed
internet access is also provided. This room is typically in a suite with one to three other similar
rooms, although a limited number of one bedroom units will be built. The suite includes a living room

Dear Mr. Bob Blanchard,
Fairfield Development is pleased to submit this application for rezoning approximately 15.75
acres located at the Northeast corner of Taft Hill Road and Hull Street. We feel this site warrants a
change in the City of Ft. Collins zoning of LMN (Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District) to
M-M-N (Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District for the following reasons:
Changing Conditions
The subject property in question lies adjacent to current M-M-N Districts to the north and
northwest. The adjoining parcel to the south of Hull Street has an existing Multi -family
housing project.
This property is within short walking distance of transit and local commercial districts. Less
than one -quarter of a mile to the northwest is a large Safeway supermarket, where occupants of
our community can shop.
Additional Considerations
The property is bordered by Spring Creek, which has a bike trail along its north boundary.
The trail currently is located directly northeast of the subject property. This bike trail is a
great source of transportation for occupants of the proposed project. This bike trail links
Colorado State University campus and other regional commercial centers to the proposed
project.
We feel that our proposed project would not negatively impact the natural environment. All
utilities for this development are currently on or adjacent to the subject site. Improvements
will be made to the south side of Spring Creek, so no further flooding will affect the subject
property and Taft Hill Road.
This rezone is being requested in order to provide a product that is ideally suited for the
