Dear Resident:
The Planning and Zoning Board of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, on Thursday, December
16, 1999, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers**, City Hall West, 300 LaPorte Avenue, will hold
a public hearing on a proposed project in your neighborhood. The proposed project is commonly
known as the Jacob Center, 703 Peterson, #39-99.
This is a request to reduce the minimum separation requirements between group homes in the
NCM Zoning District from 1,000 feet to 570 feet. The building at 703 Peterson is a single-family
residence that is currently used as a family -type facility to house 4 foster children. The applicant
would like to increase the permitted number of foster children in the house to 8. In order for
more than 4 foster children to be allowed to reside in the building, the applicant must change the
use of the building to a group home. There is an existing group home roughly 570 feet away at
614 Matthews Street. Section 3.8.6(A) of the LUC requires a minimum separation between
group homes in the NCM Zoning District of 1,000 feet. If the modification is granted, the
applicant will then proceed with an application to change the use of the property from single
family residence to group home.
Both the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Planning Staff consider your interest and input
in this matter, as well as your neighbor's input, an extremely important part of the City's review of
this proposal. If you are unable to attend the public hearing, but would like to provide input,
written comments are welcome.
The list of affected property owners for this public meeting is derived from official records of the
Larimer County Assessor. Because of the lag time between occupancy and record keeping, or
because of rental situations, a few affected property owners may have been missed. Please feel
free to notify your neighbor of this pending meeting so all neighbors may have the opportunity to
attend.
Please Note: Due to the number of projects being reviewed by the Board, there is no guarantee
this item will be heard on the date advertised. For the benefit of those attending the meeting, the
BZce
typicallyrets their schedule at the beginning of the meeting.
