Collins will not allow us to provide adequate off-street parking for our employees and visitors. Under the current standards we are permitted 70 parking spaces. We request an allowance of 12 additional spaces. In support of our request please see the attached parking allowances from cities where we are in the process of constructing the exact building we are proposing for Ft. Collins. Additionally the remote location of the site to public transport makes it impossible for employees to travel using the public transport system. ► yL Starting with some relevant data and facts: Number of Beds = Approximately 100; Number of Employees = 60 (largest number); Size of Facility = 65,000 square feet (approximately); Size of Site = 10.8 acres; Availability of shared or on -street parking = None. Arguments in Favor of Modification: 1. 40 parking spaces is inadequate for a facility of this size. For this site, the parking spaces will need to accommodate the staff, outpatients, on -call physicians, and visitors. (If this were to be considered a hospital, there would be 1.0/bed or 100 plus 20 percent equals 120 spaces.) 2. There is currently no bus service to this part of Fort Collins. 3. Its location with respect to the rest of the City makes bicycle commuting difficult. 4. It is not practical to assume that visitors will bike, ride the bus, or be willing to walk a great distance as they would for a shopping or other commercial facility. 5. The site can easily accommodate additional parking without sacrificing the overall open space remaining. 6. In briefly reviewing standards from a surrounding municipality, it was found that the criteria for a long term facility would allow 1 space per 600 square feet (108 spaces without the additional 20 percent allowance). 7. As this site is proposed, it places a 65,000 square foot facility on approximately 10.8 acres, allowing a large area for open space. In addition, at an on -site meeting with Leanne, Susie Gordon and Rob Wilkinson, the developer agreed to work with the City with respect to providing a landscape plan that blended in with the existing Fossil Creek corridor. In summary, we feel that our request for modification is well supported and it is our desire to proceed with the support of the City Staff. We look forward to meeting with you tomorrow, Thursday, July 17, 1997, at 2:00 pm, to discuss this matter in detail. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me at (970) 491-9888. Thank you. cc: Matt Zehnder, META Associates Mike Oberlander, JR Engineering, Ltd.

MEMORANDUM Date: July 16, 1997 To: Leanne Harter, Fort Collins' City Planner Bob Blanchard, Director, Fort Collins Current Planning Department From: David Klockeman, P.E., Project Manager Re: Huntington Hills Parcel A - Modification for Parking As you are aware, a skilled nursing facility with approximately 100 beds is currently being proposed for Huntington Hills Parcel A. After review of the new City Land Use Code (Code) and discussion with you, we have determined that the allowed parking for this site is 0.33/bed or 33 spaces. In addition, as this site is adjacent to Southridge Greens Boulevard and Lemay Avenue, on -street and shared parking is not available. Therefore, in accordance with the Code, the maximum parking may be increased by 20 percent (6.6) to a total of 40 spaces. The Code also requires that the parking lot landscaping also be increased by 20 percent. (Two copies of the plan showing 40 spaces are attached for your information.) Due to the size and use of this facility, it has been determined that parking spaces will be needed for approximately 110 vehicles, a significant difference than allowed by the Code. (Two copies of a "draft" plan showing 110 spaces are attached for your information.) It should also be noted that the issue of adequate parking was raised by a member of the audience at the neighborhood meeting. As we have discussed, it is the developer's intent to pursue a modification to the Code for parking as outlined in Division 2.7 and to have this process run in a consolidated application for the development application as allowed for in Section 2.7.3. Upon review of this section of the Code and discussion with Leanne, our approach will be to follow Section 2.7.3.(A) which states: "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 would a plan which complies with the standard for which a modification is requested;" As a result of discussions with Leanne on the phone, we have prepared the following for your review and comment:
