Project: Fort Collins LDS Temple Project Development Plan, # PDP120029
Project Description: This is a request for a 30,389 square foot Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints (LDS) Temple on a 15.69 acre site at the southeast corner of South
Timberline Road and Trilby Road. With this Project Development Plan, the site
will be subdivided into two blocks and two out lots, with the subject development
only occurring on lot 1, block 1. Currently, the majority of the site is undeveloped;
however there is an existing single-family residence on the southwest portion of
the site. This structure, including the associated gravel access drive off of
Timberline Road, will be removed prior to construction.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval
Hearing Testimony, Written Comments and Other Evidence
City Planner Courtney Levingston said currently, the majority of the site is undeveloped; however there is
an existing single-family residence on the southwest portion of the site. This structure, including the
associated gravel access drive off of Timberline Road, will be removed prior to construction. In addition
to the new LDS Temple, the project proposes a new 3,052 square foot single family residence
(parsonage) on Lot 1, Block 1 for the Temple President. A 1,500 square foot maintenance building is also
proposed east of the Temple parsonage.
Access to the LDS Temple and associated residence is from two points on newly constructed extension
of Majestic Drive, which will align with the existing Majestic Drive to the west. With this project,
Timberline Road will be improved in terms of widening, additional turn lanes and providing new
sidewalks. The proposed land uses, place of worship and single family residential, are permitted uses in

Chair Smith said in an effort to make the process a little more citizen friendly he would provide
background on the order of business. He described the following processes:
• Citizen participation — an opportunity to present comments on issues that are not specifically
listed on the meeting agenda.
• Consent agenda items are considered items which have no known opposition. Any member of
the board. staff or audience may request for an item to be pulled from the consent agenda and
discussed in detail as a part of the discussion agenda.
• Discussion agenda items will include a staff presentation, an applicant presentation, and
questions by board members, staff comments and public comment.
• At the time of public comment, he asked that you come to the podium, state your name and
address for the record, and sign -in. He asked that the speaker clearly state their position and he
encouraged them to share comments relevant to the topic under discussion.
• Responses by applicant and staff will follow public comment.
• The board will deliberate and reach a decision once a motion has been made and a vote taken.
The board will do their best not to use acronyms or jargon.
• He will begin each new item with a description of the development type being considered.
