PROPOSED 6,500 S.F. RETAIL BUILDING AT KMART PLAZA
NORTHWEST CORNER OF COLLEGE AND DRAKE,
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES
CITY PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES ACHIEVED.
One of our goals when proposing a new commercial building at Kmart Plaza
is to create an urban environment built to human scale, to screen existing parking
and provide an attractive street front elevation. Our plan provides a tower element
that identifies the pedestrian entrance to the proposed commercial building. We
hope that this architectural element and the walkway connections proposed will
enhance the urban appearance along College Blvd. We are also proposing to
create a pedestrian access point to the shopping center from the existing bus stop
along Drake.
2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LANDSCAPING
Our landscaping goals are:
A. To preserve as many of the existing mature trees as possible
B. To screen and soften hard surfaces.
C. To enhance the pedestrian experience
3. PROPOSED OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE.
The existing owners will maintain ownership and provide maintenance for the
proposed building and site modifications.
4. ESTIMATED NO. OF EMPLOYEES ADDED TO THE CENTER
Retail tenants will lease the proposed building. The no. of employees
will depend on the type of retail use.
5. RATIONAL BEHIND CHOICES MADE
Our reason for proposing a new 6500 S.F. retail building is to increase the income
of the existing shopping center. The location of the building on the site is
determined for many reasons, including:
A. College Blvd. Exposure
B. Planning dept. goals
C. Kmart tenant approval
