through a Type 2 review (decision maker is Planning and Zoning Board).
LUC 4.21(D) The maximum height of the buildings shall be 4 stories.
LUC 4.2 1 (E)(2)(a) Pedestrian -oriented outdoor spaces shall be placed next to activity areas that generate users such as
street corners or building entrances. These outdoor spaces should be visible and included amenities such as art. seating, or
shelters.
The proposal is not showing any pedestrian outdoor space and this will need to be included. These outdoor spaces are
intended to be not only for the customers of the site but for employees also.
5. LUC 3.5.3(C)(1) A dearlship is classified as a Commercial building. As such a connecting walk from the public
sidewalk to the main entrance of the building is required.
LUC 3.5.3(C)(2) Buildings have a required build -to -line, 30% of the building length shall meet the build -to -line. Along
nonarterial street the build to line is 0-15ft, and along arterial street the build to line is
10-25ft. When there is more than one street along a property then a the building shall meet at least two of the built -to -
line. Further there shall not be any vehicle use area between the building and the facades of the building.
The proposed project is not meeting any build -to -line. This section does allow for alternative compliance to be built
further back than required but it for such reasons as increased open space.
The project shows the site to front on two streets S College Ave and Crestridge. The build -to -line along Crestridge is 0-
15ft. and along S College Ave tO-25ft. The building should be brought to the southeast corner of the site meeting the
build -to -lines while provide a pedestrian walkway from the entrance to the sidewalk.
If a public street is built through the site creating another comer, the building could built to the other comer.
This is the preference to have Venus extend north leaving comer open for display.
6. LUC 3.5.3(D) This section has requirements for the massing of the building and does apply
LUC 3.5.3(E) This section has standards for the Character and Image of the building dealing with the Facade treatment,

20. There will probably need to be an interim and ultimate design done for SH287. An ultimate design will be needed to
determine where sidewalk and curb and gutter shall be placed and if there are any design parameters that need to be
accommodated. If the ultimate section is not what is constructed a design for the interim improvements will need to be
provided. SH287 is considered an arterial roadway thus a 1000 feet of preliminary offsite design in each direction shall
be provided as a part of roadway design.
Widen travel land by 10' to get 2' plus road and 8' bike lane. Can get reimburse for 4'. 8" on 12" section
21. This project will need to install sidewalk along the street frontages adjacent to the site, plus any off -site that may be needed
to meet level of service criteria.
Put along our frontage
22. A 15 utility easement is needed along SH287.
A 9 foot utility easement is needed along Crestridge and Venus.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
23. Some of the improvements to be installed along College Ave would be eligible for Street Oversizing reimbursement.
Only those improvements which meet the oversizing criteria and are designed and installed in the ultimate location are
eligible for reimbursement. Example the sidewalk along College will need to be installed in the ultimate location and the
standards is a sidewalk wider than a local street — thus the width 3.5 feet of the 8 foot wide sidewalk is eligible for
reimbursement.

Land Use Code Section (LUC) Section 2.1.3(13)(2) It appears this project will be development in phases or multiple
Project Development Plans (PDP). If this is the case and Overall Development is required (ODP)
ODP plans are being submitted
2. The property is within 2 different zone districts the General Commercial (C-G) and the Medium Density
a. Mixed -use Neighborhood district (M-M-N).
b. It appears the existing and new location of the car dealerships are located in the C-G zone district.
The church location appears to be in the M-M-N zone district.
3. LUC 4.21(A) The purpose of the C-G zone is to provide a setting for development and redevelopment for retail,
commercial, and business uses. Though it may serve to continue to meet the need auto related uses these uses should be
designed to accommodate other forms of personal mobility such as pedestrians and bicyclists.
Also the sub area plan'South College Corridor Plan' speaks to creating more of a multi -modal environment.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
4. LUC 4.21(13)(2)C. Vehicle sales and leasing establishments with outdoor storage are listed as a permitted use approved

placed and what kind of access they can be. The northern access point is to be a right -in right -out
access point.
North entry goes away.
14. The property just to the North of this site has a vested approval for layout and density. How does this
approval affect this site? That approval shows an access thru this site off of Venus and shows the location
for the northern right -in right -out access point out to 287. This project will need to accommodate and
provide for these access points. A change to the access locations can be made if the owner of the
Waterstone property formally agrees to this. Any change to the access points or tie-ins with the access
points or adjacent property needs to show how this/these connection(s) would occur and could work with
the grades out there. The connection from Venus to the site to the north does not need to be a street, it can
be a drive provided it is designed adequately (width, features, sidewalk connection and grades) to meet
Transportation and Poudre Fire Authority needs.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
15. A raised median in SH287 will most likely need to be installed by this project to control access. Per the
adopted access control plan a median will be needed in the short term and the long term, thus this
project will probably need to install a raised median. Ideally this median would be able to be designed
to accommodate the interim and ultimate roadway sections. Goes away with elimination of north entry
16. Per the access control plan the intersection of SH287/ Crestridge Road/ Smokey Street could be signalized if
the streets (Crestridge and Smokey) could be aligned, the intersection meets traffic signal warrants and the
grade of the intersection approaches are reduced. If the intersection cannot be aligned then the plan shows
that this access shall become a right -in right -out intersection. The conversion of the intersection to a right -in
right -out configuration will probably be triggered by the additional traffic that would be added to this
intersection by this development. This intersection currently has a high accident rate due to the offset in the
roads and limited visibility due to not quite being at the crest of the hill. The plan submitted shows the
realignment of Crestridge.
Studies as part of the PDP will be done to determine the re -alignment of Crestridge.
17. As indicated in a prior comment - the northern access point location has been defined by the Waterstone
project. You will need to work with this property owner regarding this access point. This project will
need this access point to develop. You will need to work with the adjacent property owner to; 1) build
the access point in the location shown and tie into it or 2) change the location of this access point. For
the northern access point the design of the right -in right -out and/or the length of the right turn lane
needed may go beyond the boundaries of this property and the property to the north. If it does go beyond
the boundaries of this property this development is responsible for obtaining the necessary row from the
adjacent property owners. One of the property owners to the north is the City of Fort Collins Natural
Resources Department. They have a very defined process for obtaining easements and/or row from them.
This is possible to do, but does take a little while. Goes away with elimination of north entry
18. 1 do not know exactly how much row actually exists along College Ave, but it does appear that close to
adequate row does exist. A 72 foot minimum half row is needed where a right turn lane is not needed;
where a right turn lane is needed a half row of 84 feet minimum is needed. More than likely a
preliminary layout design will be needed to determine exactly how much row is needed.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
19. Any necessary additional row needed for the ultimate SH287 cross section shall be provided.

2. The City's Transportation Development Review Fee (TDRF) is due at the time of submittal. For
additional information on these fees, please see: http://www.fcgov.conVengineering/dev-review.php
Any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets, sidewalks,
curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this project, shall be replaced
or restored to City of Fort Collins standards at the Developer's expense prior to the acceptance of
completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
4. Please contact the City's Traffic Engineer, Martina Wilkinson (221-6887) to schedule a scoping meeting
and determine if a traffic study is needed for this project. In addition, please contact Transportation
Planning for their requirements as well.. The traffic study will be key in determining the lengths of the
right turn lanes needed and the impact to the intersections and the neighborhood.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
5. This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and easements that are necessary for this project.
Is more ROW needed on any streets? Think College it already dedicated
6. Utility plans will be required and a Development Agreement will be recorded once the project is finalized.
7. A Development Construction Permit (DCP) will need to be obtained prior to starting any work on the site.
8. LCUASS parking setbacks (Figure 19-6) apply and will need to be followed depending on parking design
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
9. For Venus Drive — It appears that adequate row should be in place, provided that the roadways are
not offset within the existing row. Additional row will need to be dedicated to accommodate the
standard parkway and sidewalk section if it will not fit into the current row due to an offset of the
road.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
10. For Crestridge Road and Venus Drive — The roadways will need to be designed and improved along the
frontage of this property by this development. Curb, gutter and sidewalk will need to be designed and
built. The roadway pavement will need to be replaced as it does not meet City Standards.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
11. Venus Drive or an adequate access needs to be extended north thru this site to serve the parcel to the
north. Adequate design and dedication of row/easement shall be provided. The plan that was
submitted shows a private drive making this connection, which looks like that will work for this.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
12. All design for College Ave (State Highway 287) will need to meet CDOT design standards and criteria
and will need to be approved by CDOT. Access permits will need to be obtained for any changes to
existing access points, new access points and any work within the SH287 ROW. Design parameters
not covered by CDOT design criteria need to meet City of Fort Collins design standards and criteria.
All other public improvements must be designed and built in accordance with the Larimer County
Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). They are available online at:
http://www.larimer.org/engineering/GMARdStds/[JrbanSt.htm
13. There is an approved and adopted access control plan for SH287 that identifies where accesses can be
Page 7 of 12
standards range from 50-100' for these features, as identified in Section 3.4. ](E) of the Land Use Code,
as you proceed with your site design process.
Please note that the Ecological Characterization Study is due a minimum of 10 days prior to the PDP
submittal.
To be addressed minimum 10 days prior to PDP submittal.
2. Within the buffer zone, according to Article 3.4.1(EXI)(g), the City has the ability to determine if the
existing landscaping within the buffer zone is incompatible with the purposes of the buffer zone. Please
ensure that your ECS discusses the existing vegetation and identifies potential restoration options. If it is
determined to be insufficient, then restoration and mitigation measures will be required.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
With respect to lighting, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, in Article 3.2.4(D)(6) requires that
"natural areas and natural features shall be protected from light spillage from off site sources." Thus,
lighting from the parking areas or other site amenities shall not spill over to the buffer areas.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
4. The applicant should make note of Article 3.2.1(C) that requires developments to submit plans that "...(4)
protects significant trees, natural systems, and habitat". Note that a significant tree is defined as a tree
having DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) of six inches or more. As several of the trees within this site may
have a DBH of greater than six inches, a review of the trees shall be conducted with Tim Buchanan, City
Forester (221 6361) to determine the status of the existing trees and any mitigation requirements that could
result from the proposed development.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
With respect to landscaping and design, the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code, in Article 3.2.1
(E)(2X3), requires that you use native plants and grasses in your landscaping or re landscaping and
reduce bluegrass lawns as much as possible.
To be addressed at PDP and FDP.
6. This project must also comply with the following standard, as it is adjacent to the Redtail Ponds Natural
Area, Section3.4.1(L) Compatibility with Public Natural Areas or Conserved Land. If the project contains
or abuts a publicly owned natural area or conserved land, the development plan shall be designed so that it
will be compatible with the management of such natural area or conserved land. In order to achieve this,
the development plan shall include measures such as barriers or landscaping measures to minimize wildlife
conflicts, setbacks or open space tracts to provide a transition between the development and the publicly
owned natural area or conserved land, and educational signage or printed information regarding the natural
values, management needs and potential conflicts associated with living in close proximity to such natural
area or conserved land.
Confirm that property is adjacent. RR ROW separates.

A drainage report, erosion control report, and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a
Professional Engineer registered in Colorado. The drainage report must address the four -step process for selecting
structural BMPs. Standard operating procedures (SOPS) for all onsite drainage facilities need to be prepared by the
drainage engineer and there is a final site inspection required when the project is complete and the maintenance is
handed over to an HOA or another maintenance organization. The erosion control report requirements are in the Fort
Collins Stormwater Manual, Section 1.3.3, Volume 3, Chapter 7 of the Fort Collins Amendments. If you need
clarification concerning this section, please contact the Erosion Control Inspector, Jesse Schlam at 224-6015 or

Description of project: This is a proposal for a new auto dealership, a remodel to an
existing auto dealership and a new church building at 5811 S College Avenue (Parcel #
96111-00-002). The new auto dealership would be housed in a 24,000 square foot
building with associated parking and a proposed realignment of Crestridge St. A new
church building, approximately 40,000 square feet, is planned west of the new auto
dealership. The site is located in the General Commercial (CG) zone district. This project
will be subject to Planning & Zoning Board (Type II) review.

Comment Summary:
Department: Zoning
Contact: Peter Barnes, 970416-2355, abarnesCa.fc¢ov.com
The existing Nissan dealership will need to be brought into compliance with the applicable standards of the
Land Use Code for the proposed remodel and change to a KIA dealership.
Chalona - Follow up to see if this is during the Crestridge re alignment or after. Is this a minor
amendment? Minor work will not trigger street work based on conversations with City by Tynan's.
2. Planning's comments have addressed Zoning's issues.
3. The existing billboard signs (freestanding signs) will need to be removed. Only one freestanding sign is
allowed along South College Ave.
Discuss with Vineyard to see if this is new or not.
