Home My WebLink AboutLINCOLN AND LEMAY - REZONE & STRUCTURE PLAN AMENDMENT - 33-02 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - PETITIONto the east of our project. It would be nice from the standpoint of planning to proceed north on Lemay from the Wal-Mart — golf course — apartments; then cross Lincoln and continue north with our attractive residential project on the right; and then proceed further north to more residential. This would seem preferable to proceeding from Wal- Mart — golf course — apartments north on Lemay through an industrial zone with approximately three or four blocks of industrial use streetscapes before transitioning back to residential. Another consideration is that our project would also eliminate the environmental risk of this property being used for industrial uses in the 500-year floodplain with the potential of pollutants and contaminants getting into the water and being dispersed from these industrial uses in the event of such flood. A supplemental benefit of having a small residential neighborhood here is that it will achieve many City Plan mixed -use objectives including providing needed housing immediately proximate to places of employment along Mulberry, Lincoln, and in the airport area, and furthermore will contribute to the diversity, vitality, health and stability of the overall neighborhood. Perhaps the biggest contribution our proposed plan can make to the East Mulberry Corridor Plan is to be the first big positive unequivocal step toward attractive, well - planned development at the west end of the corridor, which development will make it much easier for other owners and developers to move ahead with attractive light industrial development and redevelopment in this area with the confidence that they will be well received by the banks and the market. Accordingly, we respectfully request that you approve of M-M-N zoning for our parcel of property. We believe this is the best zoning for this unique piece of property at the west end of the East Mulberry Corridor, and it will make the East Mulberry Corridor Plan consistent. Sincerely, JVident y JP/vd Enclosures • Mixed use redevelopment and redevelopment plan between Old Town and subject property c) Is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding subject land and is the appropriate zoned district for the land • Residential to the south as is more fully described below • Residential to the north, more fully described below d) Has no adverse impacts on the natural environment e) Would result in a logical and orderly development pattern • Lemay aesthetics • East — west logical and orderly transition and buffers • North — south logical and orderly transition: retail (Wal-Mart), apartments, town houses — condos for sale (our project), existing single family to the north The property is located at the corner of Lincoln and Lemay and is currently zoned Industrial (1). We are submitting this rezoning petition to change the zoning of this property to Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District (M-M-N). We feel that this is appropriate given the realities of this transitional property with a) multi -family residential apartments and retail (Wal-Mart Super Center) to the south, b) single-family residential to the north, c) office -warehouse uses to the west, and d) office — warehouse — light industrial uses to the east. Our proposed plan for this property is for residential uses which will be transitional between the multi -family residential to the south and the single-family residential to the north, and also transitional from the established Old Town urban uses and the evolving mixed uses between Old Town and this site, and the airport area industrial uses. A major consideration is that in the immediate neighborhood, now encompassing Wal- Mart, commercial development south of Wal-Mart, the entire airport industrial area, and the mixed and developing uses between this site and downtown, there is virtually no residential being provided, with the exception of the multi -family just north of Wal-Mart. In the context of the neighborhood then, we believe this project is an excellent mixed - use opportunity which will provide quality entry-level residential — town homes and condos for purchase — and will be an exceedingly attractive place to live: proximate to work, next to the golf course, proximate to shopping and services, a stone's throw from the Poudre bike / pedestrian path and only about half a mile from Old Town. Our proposed project would provide an enhanced and more attractive streetscape along the east side of Lemay, as well as buffering Lemay aesthetically from the industrial uses EXHIBIT B July 12, 2002 Cameron Gloss City of Fort Collins Current Planning Department P.O.
