Project Characteristics
For over 40 years, one hundred percent of the units will be rented to qualified low income
seniors with rents targeted at or below 40% of the County median income. This will
insure that seniors with fixed incomes will find quality housing in Fort Collins.
The proposed community will consist of a three-story building with interior corridors and
elevators. Amenities include a fully furnished recreational center, onsite laundry
facilities, pool, spa, seating areas and professionally landscaped open space. A variety of
services will be available to the tenants including full social activities. Secured parking
will be provided at a ratio of one space per unit.
Sponsor Characteristics
The project is sponsored by Kaufinan and Broad Multi -Housing Group, Inc. (KBMH), a
wholly -owned subsidiary of Kaufinan Broad Home Corporation, a New York Stock
Exchange -listed company that is one of the country's largest home builders. The
development will be owned by a Colorado Limited Partnership. Affordable Housing
Alliance II, Inc. ("AHA"), a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation, will act as the managing
General Partner and KBMH will act as the Development Manager on behalf of the
partnership.

community development in the State of Colorado and will bring favorable financing and
local community knowledge and support to the partnership as its manager. KBMH will

Re: Justification Letter
Rezone: 50-Unit Elizabeth Street Senior Apartments
Dear Mr. Jones:
Kaufman & Broad Multi -Housing Group, Inc., proposes to build a 50-unit senior citizen
affordable apartment project on approximately 1.9 acres located on the north side of
Elizabeth Street, east of Constitution Avenue in the City of Fort Collins. The site is
surrounded by high -density student housing and is located south and east of the Fort Ram
Village Apartments and west of the International House.
This proposed community, which will be financed in part with Low Income Housing Tax
Credits, is a prime example of what the City is looking to promote for a variety of
reasons, including excellent project area characteristics, evidenced need for affordable
housing, a strong team with extensive development and management experience, as well
as a quality designed rental community. Also, because the site is surrounded by student
housing, the proposed senior apartment development will bring a more diverse resident
base to the area.
The site currently does not have a zoning designation, given that it has been owned by
Colorado State University (CSU). Therefore, the proposed use will require a zone change
and an amendment to the Zoning Map.
The surrounding properties are zoned CC, Community Commercial District. This zoning
designation is consistent with the proposed land -use. However, the City Planning
Department staff has recommended MMN, Medium Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood, which also allows for the intended use. A Project Development Plan
(PDP) is also required and will be subsequently submitted.

across West Elizabeth to the south. The parking lot for student housing
exists to the east. Further to the east is the Campus West retail area. The
property is a logical extension of an existing piece of the MMN zoning
district.
c. Will the rezoning result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural
environment?
There are no significant environmentally sensitive areas associated with
the subject property. There are no wetlands on the site. Current air quality
and noise levels along West Elizabeth Street would not change
significantly as a result of any development that would be allowed due to
this rezone.
d. Will the rezoning result in a logical and orderly development pattern?
This property is located within the existing developed area of the City of
Fort Collins, and should it develop, would be able to utilize the existing
logical and orderly development pattern provided by the site's proximity to
West Elizabeth Street, Constitution Avenue, and City Park Avenue.
FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS
After reviewing the Elizabeth Street Apartments Rezone, File #19-99, staff makes
the following findings of fact and conclusions:
1. The Elizabeth Street Apartments Rezone, File #19-99, is consistent with the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed rezoning is compatible with existing and proposed uses
surrounding the subject land.
3. The proposed zoning district is appropriate for this property.
4. The proposed rezoning will not result in significantly adverse impacts on the
natural environment.
5. The proposed rezoning results in a logical and orderly development pattern.

Page 3
"Any amendment to the Zoning Map involving the zoning or rezoning of six
hundred forty (640) acres of land or less shall be recommended for
approval by the Planning and Zoning Board or approved by the City
Council only if the proposed amendment is:
(a) consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; and/or
(b) warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood
surrounding and including the subject property."
In addition, Section 2.8.4[H][3] outlines additional considerations for quasi-judicial
rezonings:
"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'
(c) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment
would result in a logical and orderly development pattern."
5. Analysis
a. Is the request consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan?
The property is identified as "Medium Density Mixed -Use Residential" on
the Structure Plan Map. The MMN — Medium Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood zoning district is consistent with this Structure Plan
designation.
b. Is the rezone request compatible with existing and proposed uses
surrounding the subject land and is it the appropriate zone district for the
land?
The requested zoning is compatible with all existing land uses. Student
housing uses exist to the west and north. A fast food restaurant, a
convenience store with fuel sales, and single family housing all exist

COMMENTS:
1. Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: MMN: Existing student housing (Fort Ram Village),
CSU; Existing student housing (married student housing),
S: MMN; West Elizabeth Street, existing single family housing, existing
multifamily housing,
CC: West Elizabeth Street, existing fast food restaurant, existing
convience store with fuel sales,
RL: Existing single family housing,
E: CSU: Existing parking lot for Fort Ram Village,
CC: City Park Avenue, existing retail establishments,
W: MMN; Existing student housing (Fort Ram Village), Constitution Avenue.
The property is part of the "College Addition to the City of Fort Collins" which was
annexed to the city on June 28, 1956.
2. Petition For Rezoning
The applicant filed a rezone petition with the city on August 6, 1999 requesting
initial zoning from CSU land to MMN — Medium Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood District.
3. Provisions of the MMN — Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood
District
The purpose of the MMN zoning district (Section 4.5 of the Land Use Code) is to
be a setting for concentrated housing within easy walking distance of transit and
a commercial district, and to form a transition and a link between surrounding
neighborhoods and the commercial core.
This site is located between existing highly concentrated housing (Fort Ram
Village) and an existing commercial district (Campus West), and would satisfy
the purposes of the MMN zoning district.
4. Land Use Code Criteria For Rezoning
Section 2.8.4[H][2] of the Land Use Code outlines mandatory requirements for
quasi-judicial rezonings. This section states:
