Phase II would construct approximately 65,000 square feet of interior storage at a time
that this project would be economically feasible. Phase III would proceed at such time as
the floodway definition on the property is changed. This would occur after off site
drainage improvements would be provided to the storm water basin. Phase III could in
theory occur prior to Phase H. Phase I would provide parking for approximately 410
vehicles. At the time that Phase II would be developed this would reduce to 270 vehicles.
Phase III would provide an additional 380 spaces. Depending on the timing of the project
there could be between 400 and 780 vehicles on the property if Phase III is constructed. If
all three phases are completed there would be approximately 650 vehicles on the site. The
Project will be constructed in three phases as the market for services demands.
PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES
COMMUNITY -WIDE
LAND USE
POLICY LU-2.1 - CITY-WIDE STRUCTURE
Regional plans for this area, being the Structure Plan and the Mulberry Corridor
Plan anticipate light industrial type uses on the property. These land uses are to be low
impact and sensitive to the environmental features that are on and adjacent to the
property. Development of this property will help provide services to a developing
residential neighborhood and service the needs of commercial land uses in the region as
well. The Structure Plan identifies the property to be developed as industrial uses. The
property Owners intend to develop the land in accordance to these standards, which will
insure that the goals of a compact development occur. The property being adjacent to an
existing major City arterials and the regional transportation spine allow for logical
developed to compliment the driving force of the residential uses in the neighborhood.
All means of transportation will be addressed by the project design so the project will
link into the transportation networks existing and planned modes for the area.
POLICY LU-2.2 — URBAN DESIGN
The design and uses for this property will fit into the development fabric that has
been generated by the City in its Mulberry Corridor Plan and the existing development
patterns of the region. This inclusion of design elements and features unique to the
project in tune to the standards of the LUC will allow this new property to plug into the
developing and existing fabric of the area and at the same time provide its own identity.

OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
. for
SILO STORAGE
This Document is prepared to evaluate how the property being considered for
development within the City of Fort Collins conforms to the City Plan Principles and
Policies that the City has established for the Community. The paper also shows how the
project meets and exceeds the East Mulberry Corridor Plan Principles and Policies, a sub-
