HomeMy WebLinkAboutEVERGREEN PARK REPLAT (NO. 1), BLOCK 5, LOTS 1 & 2 - PDP/FDP - 24-96A - CORRESPONDENCE - MODIFICATION REQUESTHistory Evergreen Park was originally platted in April 1973 within the City of Fort Collins. Then in March of 1974, the property was replatted as Evergreen Park Replat (No- 1). With this Rplat, lots I & 2/Block 5 were platted with the following widths and lengths. Lot IBlock 5 - 141.22' wide x 383.00' deep Lot 2/Block 5 - 100.00' wide x 383.00' deep The platting of these lots in the early 1970's was prior the City's adoption of the Land Development Guidance System. With the adoption of the LDGS and then the adoption of the Land Use Code in 1997, the 80' landscaped yard buffer was imposed. 1n June 1981 a building permit was issued in the City of Fort Collins to construct one cornmercial/office buildine on lots I and 2 and a foundation was constructed on the site which straddled both lots 1 and 2. For unknown reasons the structure was never completed. 1n March of 1996 Premier Custom Builders purchased the two lots with the intention of removing the existing foundation and constructing two commercial/warehouse buildings on the lots very similar to the buildings located at 1312 and 1318 Blue Spruce Drive. aAd camPr� The North side of Lot I and the East side of both lots 1 and 2 are along the boundary line of esidential latf use currently zoned MMN. North of Lot I there exists multi -family apartment buildings which ack approximately 38 feet from the property line and to the East of both lots' constructe�" regional detention pond. The plan as submitted shows the building setback on the North side of Lot Vat-35 feet; a reduction of 45 feet from the 80 foot standard but still 73 feet from the residential buildings- Both the buildings on Lots 1 and 2 are setback a minimum of 80 feet from the East property line. Again, the applicant is requesting a modification in the required landscaped yard setback an the North side of Lot I to allow a reduction in the required eighty (80) foot landscaped yard to a thirty-five (35) foot landscaped yard. --V,ow rioL e- to b rylp� Proposed Uses and Tenants The applicant is proposing to construct two separate buildings of 5,000 sf for the North building and 9,600sf for the South building- An additional 6,750 sf is proposed as a future expansion of the North building as shown on the Project Development Plan. Both of the buildings would be no greater than 14 feet tall and would have low pitched, sloped roofs. The Northerly building will have one tenant and when the addition is added, possibility two or three tenants. The South building will be comprised of six units each with a front access and fenced storage area in the rear of the building. Proposed tenants for the North building include an office/warehouse user and the South building include offices and storage space for a general contractor, plumbing contractor and an electrical contractor with fenced storage yards in the rear of each unit. The proposed uses are all permitted in the I -Industrial District but all of the proposed uses are more closely associated with commercial type uses and not industrial type uses- �e, oct Dev t Pfo pr ect wpuhi normally rocgtire only a T e 1 review by the do r uest a TypL 2 revi is requited by the- Planning and r� 2 PineCrest Planning ana Design LLC l..anZ�scarc Arcl4 tecture, ""b 1Plannif+$ aHa CO"StructiO►1 /►lanage#"c"t 4225 Westshore Way ♦ Fort Collins, CO 80525 (970) 226-1655 Fax (970) 226-1635 November 14, 1997 Ms. Leanne Harter City Planner City of Fort Collins Current Planning Department 281 North College Avenue P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 RE: Lots 1-2, Block 5, Replat (No. 1) of Evergreen Park, Project #24-96 Modification Request for the Required 80' Landscape Buffer CltW D 05E Ct:>ZX—, 5t­Z�Of'4 �F 111 to ,'M I Dear Leanne: cirs�"y' l�c-i' The applicant, Premier Custom Builders, Inc. is requesting a modification of the getFet Asvelopment-btandsrds of Article 4, Division 423. Section E.2.a.4 of the Land Use Code related to the Development Standard in the I - industrial District which states "An eighty (80) foot deep landscaped yard shall be provided along any boundary line that adjoins a residential land use or a zone district (whether within or beyond the City's jurisdictional boundary) that is predominately characterized by residential uses as permitted uses. This residential buffer yard may be reduced to thirty (30) feet if the adjoining residential land use or zone district (whether within or beyond the City's jurisdictional boundary) is separated by a public street." The requested modification is to allow a reduction in the required eighty (80) foot landscaped yard to a thirty-five (35) foot landscaped yard. Article 2, Division 2.7 of the Land Use Code permits the Planning and Zoning Board to grant modification-, to the District Standards of Article 4 for overall development plans and project development plans which are pending approval at the time that the request for modification is filed. A modification request may be granted if the Planning and Zoning Board, as a Type 2 review, determines and finds that the granting of the modification would neither be detrimental to the public good nor impair the intent and purposes of the Chapter, and if the applicant demonstrates either: (A) that the plan as submitted will advance or protect the public interests and purposes of the standard for which the modification is requested equally well or better than would a plan which complies with the standard for which a modification is requested; or (B) that the granting of a modification from the strict application of any standard would result in a substantial benefit to the city by reason of the fact that the proposed project would substantially address an important community need specifically and expressly defined and described in the city's Comprehensive Plan, adopted policy, ordinance of resolution (such as, by way of example only, affordable housing or historic preservation) or would substantially alleviate an existing, defined and described problem of city-wide concern (such as, by way of example only, traffic congestion or urban blight), and the strict application of such a standard would render the project practically infeasible.
