Planning and Zoning Board of the City of Fort Collins
Subject: Elizabeth Street Apartments PDP-File #8-01
Dear Board Members,
We are the owners of Ram's Crossing Apartments located at 1117
City Park Ave. Fort Collins. We are one of the largest apartment complexes
in the area and would like to express our enthusiastic support for this project.
The inevitable growth of CSU, the downtown area and Fort Collins on the
whole and the shortage of housing units this will bring make higher density
infill projects such as Elizabeth Street a good idea for Fort Collins. Already
traffic around CSU and the downtown area during the school year has
become a real negative. Any projects which are close enough -to the
university or downtown areas to encourage the tenants to use alternative
transportation methods are a good idea. Although we feel adequate parking
should be encouraged and park -like developments are an asset to the city, we
feel that keeping the worker or student in close proximity to their destination
a far greater benefit to Fort Collins. Housing developments close to point of
need discourage urban sprawl, which is a shared goal for the whole front
range.
We regret that we were unable to present our views in person , but
previous commitments and time constraints made it impossible.
Sincerely,
Charles J. Gower
