CITY CLERK
As Partners in the entity of Riverside/Prospect, LLC, owners of the property at 1640 Riverside Avenue, we
desire to appeal to the Fort Collins City Council the decision on item number 6 of the November 18, 1999 Fort
Collins Planning and Zoning Board meeting. This item dealt specifically with a proposed modification to
Section 4.23(E)(2)(b) and Section 4.23(E)(3)(a)2 of the Land Use Code (LUC) for Maxi -Stuff Storage, 1640
Riverside Avenue. Our grounds for appeal is that the Planning and Zoning Board failed to properly interpret
and apply relevant provisions of the code and charter at the Public Hearing November 18, 1999.
As specified in Section 2.8.2 the Planning and Zoning Board shall review and make a decision on a
modification request based upon the following criteria:
"...the granting of the modification would neither be detrimental to the public good nor impair
^' the intent and purpose of this Land Use Code; and that:
• The plan as submitted will advance or protect the public interests and purposes of the standard
for which the modification is requested equally well or better than woulda-plan which complies
with the standards for which a modification is requested.
As presented at the public hearing the plan proposed which requires a modification meets the intent of the LUC
and actually advances the public interests more than a plan which conforms to the LUC. As specified in the
LUC the property could be developed with buildings abutting the 30' Landscape Setback with much more of an
industrial and storage uqt appearance. Our intention with the office/warehouse concept is to provide a
commercial appearing facility which acts as a buffer to the more industrial appearing storage units. This
arrangement creates.;an upscale image that can be used to define a commercial appearance of the Riverside
corridor rather than an industrial appearance.
Attached is a copy of the desired plan requiring modifications and a plan that conforms to the LUC. The plan
which conforms to the LUC was the idea presented to the Planning and Zoning Board on November 18. This
plan creates a development with a much greater industrial, storage building image thereby perpetuating the
industrial appearance of Riverside Avenue.
With the desire of creating a visually pleasing environment and allowing an infill property to develop we
hereby request the Fort Collins City Council to hear our appeal of the November 18 Planning and Zoning Board
decision regarding Maxi -Stuff Storage, 1640 Riverside Avenue.
Sincerely,
Tom Smith
