Statement of Planning Objectives
The new owners of this property are looking to redevelop the site per the City of Fort
Collins Plan Principles and Policies and build a new stand-alone Jeep dealership to
serve the community with new and previously owned vehicle sales and service.
Site improvements will include the widening of Mason Street to City standards, adding a
right hand turn lane from southbound Mason Street to westbound W. Harmony Road.
This improvement will enhance traffic flows and safety in the area. Along Mason Street
the new frontage will include a new parkway and widened pedestrian sidewalk. We will
also be installing a new 5'-0" wide path along our north property edge to provide access
for pedestrians from Mason Street to our west property line linking Mason to the edge of
the MAX transportation system. The project proposes a pedestrian access walk from
West Harmony Road to the main building entrance for the new Jeep store. We do not
show a similar access along Mason Street due to the grade differences. Another public
improvement associated with this development is the relocation of the bus stop and
shelter to the west side of the site's main access drive on Harmony. This relocation will
provide for a safer bus pull-out capability, allowing additional distance from the
intersection at Harmony and Mason streets. The proposed development does not have
an impact on wetlands, natural habitats and features or wildlife. A neighborhood
meeting is being scheduled and will be completed prior to the end of the initial review
timeframe.
The proposed building and site improvements will include a remodel of the existing
structure to be used for the sales and service of new Jeeps as part of the new Ft. Collins
Jeep auto dealership. The site has an existing building of approximately 24,000 square
feet which will be modified to meet new Jeep corporate image standards. Building
additions along the north and west sides of the existing building to facilitate an enclosed
environment for service vehicle drop-off and write-up and additional service bays.
The new and pre -owned sales function will include showroom space for display of
vehicles along with sales and administrative offices. Vehicle service consists of engine
work, steering, alignment, brakes and tires. Parts and other materials and products
used in support of the service function will be stored within the facility in designated
areas. Cleaning will be fully enclosed and will have space for vehicle washing, drying
and detailing. The building will also house employee support areas to include
restrooms, locker rooms and an employee break room. The owner is anticipating
approximately 35 employees working in the facility.
