Findings of Fact: In evaluating the request, Staff makes the following findings of fact: A. The proposed land use, propane bulk storage tank, is classified as a heavy industrial use. This use is permitted as a Type One land use in the Industrial zone district. B. The P.D.P. satisfies the applicable development standards in the Industrial zone. C. The P.D.P. satisfies the applicable general standards. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Evergreen Park, Block Three, Lots 13 and 14, (1300 Red Cedar Circle), Propane Bulk Storage Facility, #24-96B. The P.D.P. does not contain a building or structure nor is there a parking lot. There are no onsite employees. The facility is for distribution purposes only and not open to the general public. The property will be secured with fencing and a locked gate. Only authorized personnel are permitted to enter the premises. The two lots are already platted. Red Cedar Circle is already constructed. There will be no access taken off the alley. The transportation impact study was waived. There are no obligations for offsite improvements. The P.D.P. complies with the following applicable General Standards: A. Section 3.2.1 (D) — Landscaping Street trees will be planted on 40-centers along Red Cedar Circle. The parkway strip will be planted with turf. A mix of shrubs will be planted between the six foot wood fence and the sidewalk. As mentioned, six evergreen trees will be planted in a 30-foot wide turf area along the western property line next to the alley. These trees are outside the security fence. B. Section 3.2.1 - Screening There will be a six foot high solid wood fence along the east property line facing Red Cedar Circle, including the sliding gate. This same fence will wrap around the south property line for a distance of 136 feet. The balance of the south property line ( 150 feet) must remain free of solid fencing as per a ruling by the City of Fort Collins Water Board in regard to the placement of a critical facility in the Dry Creek floodplain. This open fencing was mandated in order to allow potential storm flows and debris to "pass through" and not cause upstream damage to neighboring properties. This open fencing will be six foot high, vinyl -clad chain link. Similarly, the western and north property lines will be screened by the six foot high, vinyl -clad chain link fence since the direction of the Dry Creek storm flows are from northwest to southeast. C. Section 3.2.4 — Lighting Lighting will be down directional and feature sharp -cutoff luminaires. The maximum onsite lighting levels shall not exceed 10 foot candles. D. Section 3.3.2 — Public Improvements A new 4.5 foot wide sidewalk will be constructed with this P.D.P. This walk will be detached from Red Cedar Circle, classified as a local industrial street.

Compliance with the Industrial Zone District: A.

Development Standards The project consists of placing one propane storage tank on the site.

The site consists of a perimeter fencing, landscaping and a non -asphalt driving surface. Compliance with the applicable development standards of the Industrial zone district is as follows: (L) The Industrial zone requires a minimum 30-foot deep landscaped yard along any zone district boundary line that does not adjoin a residential land use. The rear property line of Lots 13 and 14 is a zone district boundary line with the C-N, Commercial North College zone. Consequently, the rear 30 feet of the P.D.P. is landscaped with grass and six evergreen trees placed at intervals ranging between 25 and 30 feet. All other property lines abut the Industrial zone. (2.) The Industrial zone requires that storage, loading and work operations shall be screened from view along all district boundary lines.
