The foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me this — day of
2002, by .O/% 4A h e for the
purposelerin set forth.
My commission expires s
achieved by directing future developments to mixed -use neighborhoods and
districts while reducing the potential for disbursed growth not conducive to
pedestrian and transit use and cohesive community development
Analysis: The proposed shopping change of zone will allow for a grocery store and
associated uses. This proposed use will allow an existing, as well as new
neighborhoods, to have immediate and nearby access to uses that will, in effect,
reduce disbursed growth by creating a mixed use neighborhood. The neighborhood
will be comprised of existing residences together with new housing, which will occur
on a portion of the remainder of the Timan property. Together the net result will be to
combine a historic suburban type of neighborhood together with new residential and
commercial to create a true mixed -use development thereby contributing to a compact
form of growth.
b. Principle LU-2: City Plan and the Structure Plan envision neighborhood centers
located at approximately 1-mile intervals. The nearest neighborhood center is 2
miles away. The city will maintain and enhance its character and sense of place
as defined by its neighborhoods, districts, corridors, and edges. LU-2.1 The City
will adopt a city-wide structure of neighborhoods, districts, corridors, and edges
as a means of creating identifiable places and achieving the goals of compact
development that is well -served by all modes of travel.
Analysis: The central location within the existing neighborhood and the proposed
MMN zoning adjacent to the grocery store will help create an identifiable place for
the surrounding community. The location of the property along the College Avenue
transit corridor along with the compact development will allow for the property to be
served by all modes of transportation.
c. Principle T-1: The physical organization of the city will be supported by a
framework of transportation alternatives that maximize access and mobility
throughout the city, while reducing dependence upon private automobile travel.
Analysis: The proposed zone change will encourage the use of alternative
transportation uses. The grocery store and associated commercial uses proposed for
the Timan property are located directly adjacent to a fully developed neighborhood.
This close distance between the two entities will encourage people to walk or ride a
bike to the proposed grocery store. Transit stops are proposed for the property to
encourage to use transit to access the neighborhood center.
Names and addresses of all persons owning land (as per Larimer County Assessor's office on
date of request) within 500 feet of any portion of the area under petition for rezone are included
with this submittal.

Reason for Reauest:
Front Range Limited Partnership, an Arizona Limited Partnership is requesting to amend the
City Structure Plan and Rezone their property located northwest of Trilby Road and College
Avenue. The property is currently zoned C-Commercial, Neighborhood Commercial Center (N-
C) and Medium Density Mixed -Use District (M-M-N). The request is for redistribution of the
current zoning districts. (See the attached legal descriptions.)
Hunt Properties, Inc. has entered into an agreement with the Front Range Limited Partnership, an
Arizona Limited Partnership, to purchase the property pending development approval.
In accordance with Section 2.9.4(H)(2)(b) of the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, this letter
is a formal request to rezone the Timan property, located at the southwest comer of the
intersection of Skyway Dr. and College Avenue. This change of zone is "warranted by changed
conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and including the subject property." This
change of zone is being requested for the following reasons:
1.) The surrounding neighborhoods have been fully developed and the closest supermarket is
the King Soopers on Harmony Road approximately 2 miles away. The standard service
radius for a grocery store is typically 1-mile. The older existing neighborhoods have
normally had to drive to the King Soopers, which adds congestion to College Avenue and
other City streets. Prior to the opening of King Soopers several years ago, some of these
residents have had to in the past commute 3 — 4 miles to either Steeles by the Foothills
Mall or to the Steele's on Harmony and Lemay. The proposed rezone allows neighbors to
have access without increasing congestion within the City.
2.) The proposed rezone helps to implement the policies of City Plan in the following ways:
a. Principle LU-1: Growth within the city will promote a compact development
pattern within a well-defined boundary. LU1.I The desired urban form will be

Timan Property Rezoning and Structure Plan Amendment (formerly Front Range
Rezoning) #3-006
September 19, 2002 P & Z Meeting
Page 5
Yes, as the recently approved request was consistent, this rearrangement is
equally consistent.
Will the rezoning have adverse effects on the natural environment?
No. Under either existing or proposed zoning, the same standards for protecting
the natural environment will apply. The zone districts all allow fairly intensive
development, with no foreseeable differences in intensity or impacts of the
current arrangement as opposed to the requested arrangement.
Will the rezoning result in a logical and orderly development pattern?
Yes, as the recently approved request was consistent, this rearrangement is
equally consistent.
FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS
After reviewing the Timan Property Rezoning and Structure Plan Amendment,
File #3-OOB, staff makes the following findings of fact and conclusions:
This request for a Structure Plan Amendment adequately demonstrates a
need to change the designation, based on the preclusion of a supermarket
development footprint within the area currently designated as Neighborhood
Commercial. The request is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan
due to the central location relative to residential development; the opportunity
for good collector street access (Skyway Drive) to and from neighborhoods;
good non -College Avenue access (Trilby Road) to and from neighborhoods,
requirements for a street system linking Skyway and Trilby across the
property; and the co -location of NC and MMN designations.
2. This rezoning request is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan based
on the Structure Plan amendment.
3. The proposed rezoning would not result in adverse impacts on the natural
environment.
The proposed rezoning would result in a logical and orderly development pattern.

(a) consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; and/or
(b) warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and
including the subject property."
The above criteria are found in subsection 2.9.4[H][2] of the Land Use Code
outlines mandatory requirements for quasi-judicial rezonings. In addition, the
following subsection 2.9.4[H][3] lists additional factors that may be considered
along with the mandatory requirements for this type of quasi-judicial rezoning, as
follows:
"In determining whether to recommend approval of any such proposed
amendment, the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council may consider the
following additional factors:
(a) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is compatible with
existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land, and is the
appropriate zone district for the land;
(b) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in
significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment, including but not
limited to, water, air, noise, stormwater management, wildlife, vegetation,
wetlands and the natural environment'; and
(c) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in a
logical and orderly development pattern."
S. Staff analysis - rezoning request.
Is the request consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan?
Yes, as the recently approved request was consistent, this rearrangement is
equally consistent.
Have conditions changed in the neighborhood to warrant the rezoning?
No. (However, it is not necessary to find changed conditions to support the
rezoning.)
Is the rezoning request compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding
the subject land and is it the appropriate zoning district for the land?

Rezoning) #3-0013
September 19, 2002 P & Z Meeting

3. Staff Evaluation - Structure Plan Amendment
The reasons for the recently approved designations on the site apply to the
requested arrangement as well. Briefly, the subject location offers: a) a location
central to residential development; b) the opportunity for good collector street
access (Skyway Drive) to and from neighborhoods east and west; and c) good
non -College Ave. access (Trilby) to and from neighborhoods east and west. The
key to b) and c) is a required on -site street system linking Trilby to Skyway. The
applicants have stated that they understand the policies for N-C and M-M-N, and
have done enough conceptual evaluation to confirm that the designations could
work, and the natural resources could be protected.
Staff finds no new negative considerations regarding the request for rearranged
Structure Plan and zoning designations.
However, the natural resources on the property will require a very careful,
sensitive approach to development, and the larger buffer area will limit the
intensity of any development program for the property. This would be the case
regardless of the land use designations. Support for the Structure Plan and
zoning designation does not address the suitability of land for development; and
it must not be construed as support for any particular development plan.
The request would reallocate acreages as follows:
Current Zoning Proposed Zoning
NC 21 18
MMN 22 18
C 14 21
The request would increase the acreage designated as C, Commercial with a
minor decrease in both NC and MMN designations compared to the existing
arrangement.
The increased C designation is offset by the fact that the mature cottonwoods
with hawk nesting and roosting sites would be located within the C designation.
Support for this request hinges on the expectation that this resource will be
preserved.
4. Rezoning Request
In order to recommend approval of this proposal, staff and the Planning and
Zoning Board would have to find that the rezoning is:
Timan Property Rezoning and Structure Plan Amendment (formerly Front Range
Rezoning) #3-OOB
September 19, 2002 P & Z Meeting

found both to be acceptable. Access and relationships to surrounding
neighborhoods are similar, given a required street system, which would link Trilby
Road and Skyway Drive across the property.
The reason for this request is that hawk nesting and roosting sites have been
discovered within the currently designated NC and MMN areas, and the Natural
Resources buffer to protect them would preclude the supermarket -anchored
development which is the focal point of this whole set of designations. Given the
natural habitat constraints present on the site, staff supports the requested
change to the Structure Plan and zoning designations.
BACKGROUND AND EXPLANATION:
1. The Site:
The site proposed for rezoning is currently an occupied farmstead, with one
home and several outbuildings. The property includes a separate, 4-acre home
lot with sheds and outdoor storage, currently in commercial use at the corner of
College and Trilby.
Adjoining existing zoning and land uses are as follows:
N:
Larimer County
C, FA:
suburban subdivision: hwv. commercial strip
S:
Larimer County
C, FA:
large lot sub; 2 lots converted to commercial
E:
Larimer County
C:
highway commercial strip
W:
Larimer County
FA:
suburban subdivision: supported living facilitv
The property was annexed into the City of Fort Collins as part of the Timan First
Annexation on June 7, 1988.
2. Context of the Proposed Structure Plan Amendment
The City Structure Plan is the primary basis for zoning decisions. An amendment
is a prerequisite to this rezoning request.
To recommend approval of this proposal, staff and the Planning and Zoning
Board have to find that: 1) the existing Structure Plan is in need of change; and
2) the proposed changes would promote the public welfare and be consistent
with the vision, goals, principles, and policies of City Plan. These are the
applicable criteria, contained in Appendix C of City Plan.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This is a request to amend City Structure Plan designations on a 57-acre
property, located on the west side of South College Avenue, from Trilby Road to
Skyway Drive; and to rezone accordingly. The amendment is essentially a north -
south -flipped rearrangement of the designations currently in place on the site.
The resulting change moves the Neighborhood Commercial designation from the
northwest corner of College/Trilby to the southwest corner of College/Skyway.
The current designations were recently approved, on January 15, 2002.
The proposed designations include about 18 acres of Neighborhood Commercial
Center (NC) at the College/Skyway corner; about 18 acres of Medium Density
Mixed -Use Residential Neighborhood (MMN) extending south to Trilby Road on
the western half of the site; and about 21 acres of Commercial Corridor (C) along
the east half of the site fronting College Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The essence of this change is moving the supermarket -anchored Neighborhood
Commercial Center from the Trilby/College intersection (an arterial/arterial) to
Skyway/College (a collector/arterial). This proposed arrangement was
considered during discussions of the currently approved arrangement -- and staff
