Planning Objectives
ER, ARCHITECT
North Flats is a 40 unit attached dwelling project designed in a modern character and incorporating
green principles to be located within the previously approved Old Town North development.
The project will consist of 8 buildings each containing 5 dwelling units; 3 on the ground level and 2
on the second level. Of the 5 units, 4 will be two -bedroom units and 1 will be one -bedroom units.
Each unit will be provided with a covered carport.
The 3 ground floor units will be designed to be handicap adaptable or Type B units per the Uniform
Building Code. In parallel to the PDP/Subdivision process a review by the Building Review Board
will be requested to seek relief from the requirements of Fort Collins amendment#33 to the
Uniform Building Code Section 1103.1.9.1 that would require an accessible carport parking stall for
each accessible unit. It will be proposed that each building include an accessible carport parking
stall rather than each unit. Should this proposal not be successful the carports will be eliminated
from the project.
This project will serve to continue the quality development occurring in Old Town North and will
provide the citizens of Fort Collins with a housing option that is modern and fresh in styling and
green in its intent. It is interesting to note that each unit will be provided with an electric scooter in
an attempt to encourage residents to decrease their use of gas powered automobiles. In addition to
the scooters, residents will be provided with a scooter battery charging station that is powered by
solar energy.
The primary infrastructure for the project, including streets, alleys, walks, utilities and street lighting
has been previously completed with the Old Town North project and will remain intact. The reason
for the PDP/Subdivision application is to revise the previously approved plans from 8 buildings
consisting of 4 attached dwelling units each with their own respective lot to 8 buildings consisting of
5 condominium units with each building on a lot rather than each unit.
This site is presently zoned CCN — Community Commercial — North College District and it is
intended that this project abide by the requirements of this district as well as the entire Land Use
Code in general. Modification of Standards will be requested to allow removable stairways to be
placed within the utility easement at the front of the upper level units, to allow the carports to
overhang a drainage easement and to reduce the width of the alley driveway width requirement
from 24' to 23'.
This site is under the ownership of Millhaus, Inc. a Fort Collins development company and the
project will be financed by Bank of Choice Colorado.
It is anticipated that the entire project would be constructed in a single phase. Construction would
begin immediately upon City approval of the project and would be complete in a period of
approximately one year.
