The average height of surrounding development ranges from residential
heights of 25+ feet to Fort Collins High School with a portion well above 40', to the
Pinecone Apartments just to the south varying in height just below 40'.
2. Relative Length to Mass
The ratio of length to mass, or length to height, for the main church
building is: 1: 4.5. This ratio indicates that the buildings height is will proportioned to is
relative mass.
3. Human scale
With covered walks, widows that are 4' x 4' at the pedestrian level, arched
entrance opening, and towers located at each many entrances, the building has many
attributes that bring the building down to a human scale.
4. Building Character
The buildings is broken down into smaller elements, bringing the overall
mass down to a character the can be read and related to. By designing the church as a
grouping or complex of buildings, the feeling of a community that is designed as a whole
can be achieved. By breaking up the whole, the relationship within the community is
better facilitated.
S. Relative Location
The developments location next to a medium density residential
community and local high school allows for a building height of just around 40' to occur.
surrounding buildings have similar heights and character.
First Assembly Of God
Preliminary
Planned Unit Development
Special Review of Buildings With Height Over 40 Feet
January 13, 1997
Review Criteria
A. Community Scale
Adjacent to the site (south) is the Pinecone Apartments there height varies to just below
40'. And further to the south is the Fort Collins High School, with a portion of the school
(Theater) that projects well above the 40' height. Due to the very small percentage and
location of the portion of building that extends above the 40' height, community retains
its needed scale.
B. Views
Due to the buildings setbacks and location within the site views through and around the
site are relativity unchanged from a building that would just fall under the 40' height
guideline. By locating the main church (building with 3'-11" over 40') with the majority of
the site to the east. views towards the foothills from the east are less obstructed.
Presently views towards the west from the east are obstructed by existing trees tops
found in the adjacent housing development to the west. The proposed building will not
reach above the adjacent tree tops. Due to the orientation of the main church (north
south axis) views from Pinecone Apartments are less obstructed. Due to the geometry of
the ridge, only a small portion of the roof that projects above 40' can be observed.
C. Light and Shadow
No negative impacts or distribution of natural are affecting the surrounding properties.
Please see attached Shadow analysis for December 21. As the analysis indicates no areas
outside of the property are affected.
D. Privacy
Since such a small percentage of the roof projects above 40', privacy of adjacent public
of private properties are affected.
E. Neighborhood Scale
Directly to the, south is Pinecone Apartments, with a height just below 40', and Fort
Collins High School just to the south of the apartments. To the west across an arterial
street is a residential neighborhood.
