Statement of Planning Objectives
Part (i)
The Lyric is planning on building a 10,000 square foot, 3 screen movie theater and event venue, with a
full restaurant at 1209 N College Ave. The program for the development will include a 32 space parking
lot and a .4 acre/ft detention pond that can double as an outdoor gathering space for customers and
area residents. In order to meet our parking objectives we have struck agreements with Ken's Muffler,
1235 N College's parking lot and Jax's for 20 spaces each.
The Lyric project is located in Zone CS. Under this zone, The Lyric meets the current land use code which
states that "Theaters" and "Restaurants" are included in the use options for this site.
1209 N College LLC will manage the use of the building, headed by Ben Mozer, and comprised of the
following Co -Owners:
■ Andrew Schneider, PO Box 2151, Fort Collins, CO 80522

1209 N College LLC plans on partnering with CHFA, the City of Fort Collins URA and Kati and Bob Rader
to secure a loan from Great Western Bank, in order to construct the building.
Part (ii)
The Lyric site shall have an outdoor event venue for temporary film presentations during the warmer
months. We are incorporating the detention pond as a dual use to serve as an outdoor gathering place
to enjoy the movies. The projector screen will be mounted and removed for each event. There are no
existing wetland or natural habitats on the site as it was graded at some point. No structures exist on
the site. New pathways and landscaping shall enhance the open areas of the new site, provide shading
in some areas, and improve the experience for the outdoor venue. The front has a small courtyard for
parking bikes and for passersby to stop and rest on.a sitting -level rock accent wall.
