HomeMy WebLinkAboutESTATES AT SPRING CREEK - REZONING - 2-00 - CORRESPONDENCE -c. I met with Steve Pfister and Shon E. Finch on February 9, 2000, and
explained to them that the application needs to include a request to amend
the Structure Plan with proper justification supported by principals and
policies in our Comprehensive Plan.
d. The rezone request must be consistent with the Structure'Plan in order to
be approved.
e. It seems fairly unlikely to staff that you will. .find principals or policies in our
Comprehensive Plan to justify amending the Structure Plan in this location to
Medium -Density Mixed Use Residential, but you need to attempt to make
that justification to have any chance at all of amending the Structure Plan.
I need this justification by February 24, 2000.
If you have any questions about these or any other issues related to this project
please feel free to call be at 221-6750.

Staff has reviewed your submittal for the Estates at Spring Creek Rezone, and
we offer the following comments:
COMMENTS:
1. City Attorney:
a. Section 2.9.1 of the Fort Collins Land use code specifies that amendments to
the Zoning Map may be proposed by the City Council, the Planning and Zoning
Board, the Planning Director, or the owners of the property to be rezoned.
b. The petitioner is identified as Mark Faulkner, but the owners are Wilber &
Barbara Aanes, and Edward J Jaerger. You must either resubmit a rezoning
petition designating the property owners as the petitioners (with their
signatures), or you must obtain a power of attorney from the property
owners to act on their behalf for the purpose of the rezone.
2. Advance Planning:
a. The rezone request is not consistent with the structure plan (which is a
component of the city's Comprehensive Plan).
3. Current Planning:
a. This item will be going to the Planning and Zoning Board Hearing on March
16, 2000, first reading at City Council on April 4, 2000, and second reading
at City Council on April 18, 2000.
b. The application cannot have a staff recommendation of approval because the
proposal is not consistent with the city's Structure Plan. The Structure Plan.
designates this site as Low -Density Mixed Use Residential, but would need
to be designated as Medium -Density Mixed Use Residential on the Structure
Plan to warrant rezoning to MMN.
