The Planning Department requires the submittal of a site plan, drawn to scale, as well as a list of property owners within 500 feet (exclusive of public right-of-ways) of your property. At your request, a map providing the boundary of this area can be obtained from the Current Planning Office (221-6750). 12. It is recommended that you circulate a letter of intent, describing what you. propose to do, in order to obtain the signatures and, thus, the approval of your neighbors. This could also serve as a method of informing affected property owners in the surrounding area of your plans and soliciting their input. etc.). Once this is accomplished, should you then desire to revert back to a residential/dwelling use, it would be necessary to meet all new residential building codes. Such compliance standards would have to be met because with each change of occupancy (new Certificate of Occupancy), the full permitting process would have to be executed. However, we have, hopefully, come up with a way that you can avoid all/most of these complications. Before you do anything, we would advise that you speak with Mike Gebo of the Building Inspections Department about the potential of getting a variance from the Building Review Board. You will need to draft a letter stating why a variance is desired (see paragraph above for reasons) and fill out an application. The applications are available at the Building Inspections Department (281 N. College Ave.). It will still be necessary to go through the PUD process in order to allow the use in the NCL Zone, but we recommend that this variance be sought as a first step. For more information regarding Building Inspections requirements and the above described variance procedures, please contact Mike Gebo at 221-6760. 5. You will need to get a license/permit from the County Health Department. 6. As you will be changing to a commercial use, a water meter will be required; if you volunteer to receive one, it should be provided free of charge. To volunteer for the required water meter, please contact the Water and Wastewater Department at 221- 6681. Also, it was recommended that you contact Mark Taylor in order to find out whether or not a grease interceptor would be required; he can be reached at 221- 6681, too. 7. If changing to a commercial use, it will be necessary to change to commercial light and power rates. For more information regarding these rates, please contact Janet McTague at 221-6700. 8. The Transportation Department will require a letter indicating the number of trips per day which will be generated by this use (i.e., to and from); this letter should include the number of trips anticipated as well as routes and modes (types of vehicles) to be used. For more information regarding required the content of this letter, please contact Eric Bracke at 221-6062. It will not be necessary to pave the alley(s). 9. As a representative of the Poudre Fire Authority was not able to attend the conceptual review, please contact Roger Frasco regarding any requirements the PFA might have. Roger can be reached at 221-6570. 10. Storm Water Utility will need a letter, submitted by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado, stating that the amount of impervious surfaces on the site will not be increased. If the amount of impervious surfaces will increase by more than 350 square feet, a fee of $6525 per acre (pro -rated) will be incurred. For more information, contact Glen Schlueter at 221-6589. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: - March 11, 1996 ITEM: Addition of Catering Kitchen - 217 South Mack Street APPLICANT: Mrs. John Carroll, 1002 Akin Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521 LAND USE DATA: Request to use an existing single family home as a commercial kitchen with storage area and an office. The kitchen would be used for the preparation of pastries, sandwiches, and teas. The kitchen would not be open to the public{ rather, all products would be taken off - site to various bed and breakfasts and other businesses. The property is located at the corner of Akin Avenue and South Mack Street, on the west side. COMMENTS: 1. The property in question is located in the NCL - Neighborhood Conservation Low - Density Zoning District. As the owner of the house will not be residing in it, this request cannot be processed as a home occupation. Rather, it must be processed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD), subject to the review criteria of the Land Development Guidance System (LDGS). 2. It will be necessary to provide two (2) off-street parking spaces for every three (3) employees. As just two (2) people would be employed at this location, a two -car driveway would satisfy this requirement; ideally this driveway should access to/from the existing alley. If you would like to use the parking/driveway of the adjacent lot to satisfy this requirement, it would be necessary to obtain a variance. 3. When submitting this project as a PUD, it would probably be advisable to include a provision for an alternate use, which would be an occupancy/residence. This should be done as a "just in case" sort of provision. That is, just in case you eventually want to change the use back to that of a dwelling, the PUD will have allowed for such a change/reversion. 4. At the conceptual review, you were told that, if the designated use of the structure were changed to a business use, it would be necessary to change the Certificate of Occupancy and comply with all applicable B-2 Codes (i.e., handicap accessibility, COMMUNITY PLANNING & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 231 NORTH COLLEGE P.O.BOX 580 FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 80522-0580 (303)221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT Commui.ity Planning and Environmental z>ervices Current Planning City of Fort Collins March 26, 1996 Mrs. John Carroll 1002 Akin Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80521 Dear Mrs. Carroll: For your information, attached is a copy of the Staffs comments concerning Addition of Catering Kitchen, 217 South Mack Street presented before the Conceptual Review Team on March 25, 1996.
