Although not directly within the plan, this project directly supports the East Mulberry Corridor Plan
calls for the maintenance of existing land uses and support for future expansion, and to maintain
and enhance economic vitality in the area.
The site will stay under current property ownership but will be leased by Maverik, LLC for the
construction and use of the convenience store and fuel sales. During the lease period Maverik, LLC
will be responsible for the maintenance of the property including landscaped and open space areas
within the boundary of the property. The facility will employ will approximately 20 people with a
combination of full and part time including the leadership team, with two to four employees
working at any given time.
The rationale behind the site plan was to provide for an open feel and easy utilization of the
facilities for the traveling general public and local consumers. The inclusion of a landscaped rest
area was to provide an opportunity for individuals and family to take a break from traveling and
allow children and pets an opportunity to stretch their legs.
There are no known conflicts between this development, land uses, natural habitats, wildlife,
wetlands or other natural features. There have been no previous neighborhood meetings regarding
this PDP. There are no other names nor have there been any previous development applications
with respect to this property.
There have been no neighborhood meetings held. The project name has remained the same since
conceptual review.
The proposed parking is at the maximum allowable per the City requirements for the proposed size
of commercial building. It is not anticipated that there will be a parking shortage.

Statement of Planning Objectives
Maverik Convenience Store and Fuel Sales
This document serves as the Statement of Planning Objectives and describes the proposed
development plan for approximately 0.78 acres of land located at 4333 E. Mulberry Street, Fort
Collins, Colorado. This parcel of land is currently owned by Americas Best Value Inn & Suites, and is
located at the southeast corner of Interstate-25 and E. Mulberry St (W. Hwy 14). The existing hotel
is currently located within Larimer County outside the City boundary.
Maverik, Inc., desires to lease a portion of this property (0.78 acres) and combine it with an
adjacent undeveloped parcel of land currently within the City boundaries to construct a
convenience store with fuel sales and landscaped rest area. The undeveloped parcel of land consists
of approximate 0.51 acres. Access to the proposed site would be E. Mulberry St. and the 1-25 SE
Frontage Road with the entry at Denrose Court.
The proposed zoning of the project is Community Commercial which is in conformance with the
City of Fort Collins Structure Plan and coincident with the zoning of the surrounding area. The
project proposes to demolish the existing restaurant adjacent to the hotel and construct a 5045
square foot convenience store with a 7,070 square foot area for fuel sales. The northeastern portion
of the property will accommodate a landscaped rest area with tables, a tot -lot and dog run.
City Plan Policy LIV 31.2 Site Layout Building Orientation
The proposed site varies from current City Plan Principles and Policies due to the orientation of the
building. The City policies dictate that the convenience store building should be located on the
corner of the Frontage Road and E. Mulberry and face towards the existing hotel, with the gas
canopy located between the proposed store and existing hotel (Figure 2). The owner believes that
placing the convenience store adjacent to the hotel's northern boundary, and facing out towards the
intersection provides a better concept both for visibility and openness (Figure 3).
The proposed plan provides for easy ingress and egress to and from both the convenience store and
gas islands. The store building lies adjacent to the existing hotel. Traffic and noise is kept to the
north of the hotel and fuel deliveries can be negotiated much easier than the other alternative. The
open space area to the northeast is utilized as an active rest area feature with picnic benches, tot lot
and an open area for pets. There are no wetlands or natural habitats impacted by this proposed
plan.
