The above described tract of land contains 23.32 acres more or less. Reason for Request: (Please attach additional sheets if more space is needed.) This is an internal housekeeping item to bring the Zoning Map in accordance with the adopted North College Avenue Corridor Plan. The parcels in question were placed into the current N-C zoning designation during the city-wide rezoning which created a new zoning map in 1997. These parcels were grouped with other similar grocery -store -anchored shopping centers called Neighborhood Commercial Centers on the City Structure Plan. In this case, however, the adopted subarea plan should prevail. The intent of City Plan is still met. An amendment to the Structure Plan is not required. The recommended zoning is less restrictive. Please attach listing of names and addresses of all persons owning land (as per Larimer County Assessor's office on date of request) within 500 feet of any portion of the area under petition for rezoning.

COLLEGE AVE, FORT COLLINS, CO 80524 To the City Council of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. I (We), the undersigned, do hereby respectfully petition and request that the City Council amend the zoning ordinance of the City of Fort Collins by changing the zoning of the hereinafter described parcel, containing 23.32 acres, more or less, from NC zoning district to CN zoning district: (Legal description) A tract of land located in the Northwest Quarter of Section 1, Township 7 North, Range 69 West of the 6`h Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of Colorado. Considering the West line of the Northwest Quarter of said Section I as bearing South 00°00'00" West and with all bearings contained herein relative thereto; Beginning at the Northwest Corner of the Northwest Quarter of said Section 1; thence along the West line of said Northwest Quarter South 00°00'00" West 278.72 feet; thence departing said Pagel of 3 VLMN No Text VICINITY MAP 02/28/00 Country Club Corners Rezone 1"=600' Country Club Corners Shopping Center Rezone, file # 55-95D March 16, 2000 P & Z Meeting Page 5 c. Will the rezoning result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment? There are no significant environmentally sensitive areas associated with the subject property. d. Will the rezoning result in a logical and orderly development pattern? This property is located within the existing developed area of the City of Fort Collins, and should it further develop, would be able to utilize the existing logical and orderly development pattern provided by the site's proximity to College Avenue, Willox Lane, Bristlecone Street, and the existing internal circulation network of the Country Club Corners Shopping Center already in place on the site. FINDINGS OF FACT/CONCLUSIONS After reviewing the Country Club Corners Shopping Center Rezone, file # 55-95D, staff makes the following findings of fact and conclusions: 1. The Country Club Corners Shopping Center Rezone, file # 55-95D is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the North College Corridor Plan. 2. The proposed rezoning is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land. 3. The proposed zoning district is appropriate for this property. 4. The proposed rezoning will not result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment. 5. The proposed rezoning results in a logical and orderly development pattern. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Country Club Corners Shopping Center Rezone, file # 55-95D. Country Club Corners Shopping Center Rezone, file # 55-95D March 16, 2000 P & Z Meeting Page 4 (b) warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and including the subject property." In addition, Section 2.8.4[H][3] outlines additional considerations for quasi-judicial rezonings: "In determining whether to recommend approval of any such proposed amendment, the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council may consider the following additional factors: (a) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land, and is the appropriate zone district for the land, (b) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to, water, air, noise, stormwater management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands and the natural environment' (c) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in a logical and orderly development pattern." 6. Analysis a. Is the request consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan? The property is identified as a red dot with an "E" inside on the Structure Plan which indicates that it is an existing Neighborhood Commercial Center. Based on the precedent set with the Steele's Market at Lemay and Harmony, a red dot with an "E" inside is not necessarily an indicator that the property should be zoned NC. The Steele's Market site is zoned HC — Harmony Corridor which is based on it's subarea plan, the Harmony Corridor Plan. The North College Corridor Plan is the subarea plan that adds specific details to the general nature of the Structure Plan for the North College Area. This subarea plan indicates the CN is the proper zoning for this site. b. Is the rezone request compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land and is it the appropriate zone district for the land? The requested zoning is compatible with all existing land uses. The property is surrounded on three sides with land that is already zoned CN, so changing this property to also be CN would be compatible. The property to the north of the site is zoned CCN. The subarea plan indicates that the site should be CN and the property to the north of the site should be CCN, therefore the zoning request is compatible with existing surrounding land uses. Country Club Corners Shopping Center Rezone, file # 55-95D March 16, 2000 P & Z Meeting Page 3 3. Provisions of the CN — Commercial North College Zoning District The purpose of the CN Zoning District is spelled out in 4.18(A) of the Land Use Code where it states that the district "is intended for high traffic commercial corridors where a range of uses is encouraged to create a transition from commercial operations on a highway, major arterial street or rail spur, to less intensive use areas or residential neighborhoods. This designation is only for areas identified for its application in the North College Corridor Plan." The property was zoned in 1997 as NC -Neighborhood Center because it had an existing grocery store in the site. To be consistent with the North College Corridor Plan, the site really should be zoned CN — Commercial, North College. The sub -area is more specific than the Structure Plan, so the sub -area plan should prevail if there are any discrepancies. 4. Provisions of the NC — Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District The purpose of the NC zone as described in Section 4.19(A) of the LUC states that it is "intended to be a mixed -use commercial core area anchored by a supermarket or grocery store and a transit stop. The main purpose of this district is to meet consumer demands for frequently needed goods and services, with an emphasis on serving the surrounding residential neighborhoods typically including medium -density mixed -use neighborhood. In addition to uses such as schools, employment, day care, parks, small civic facilities, as well as residential uses." When the Structure Plan was generated, a red circle with an "E" inside was used to identify all the locations where there were existing grocery -store -anchored shopping centers. Not all of these existing grocery -store -anchored shopping centers were zoned NC for instance the King Soopers shopping center at College and Columbia, the Albertson's shopping center at College and Horsetooth, and the Steele's at Lemay and Harmony. 5. Land Use Code Criteria For Rezoning Section 2.8.4[H][2] of the Land Use Code outlines mandatory requirements for quasi- judicial rezonings. This section states: "Any amendment to the Zoning Map involving the zoning or rezoning of six hundred forty (640) acres of land or less shall be recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board or approved by the City Council only if the proposed amendment is: (a) consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; and/or Country Club Corners Shopping Center Rezone, file # 55-95D March 16, 2000 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: CCN; Willox Lane, vacant land, existing used car dealership, existing restaurant, NW: CN; Existing intersection of North College Avenue and Willox Lane, existing, convenience retail with fuel sales, existing motel, S: CN; Bristlecone Drive, restaurants, motel, retail, I; Existing industrial and office uses, E: CN; Existing offices, Blue Spruce Drive, MMN; Existing multifamily housing, W: CN; North College Avenue, fast food restaurant (under construction), existing car wash, existing mobile home park, existing motel, existing retail. The property was annexed to the city as part of two different annexations. The western 220 feet of the property along College Avenue was annexed on December 31, 1959 as part of the North College Annexation. The eastern remainder of the property was annexed on November 2, 1972 as part of the Pine Tree Park Annexation. This is an internal housekeeping item to bring the zoning map back into accordance with the adopted North College Avenue Corridor Plan. The property in question was placed into the current NC zoning designation in March 1997 as part of a new city-wide zoning system. This property was grouped with other similar grocery -store -anchored shopping centers called "Neighborhood Commercial Centers" on the City Structure Plan. In this case, however, the adopted subarea plan, the North College Corridor Plan, recommends the CN zone district, and it should prevail. A citizen pointed out that we were technically mistaken when we placed the property into its current zoning in March 1997, and that it should have been left in its prior zone district. Staff agrees and proposes to simply put it back. The proposed zoning (CN, Commercial -North College) is less restrictive than the current zoning (NC, Neighborhood Commercial). All uses permitted in the current zone district are also permitted in the proposed zone district, with one academic exception regarding the allowance of new grocery stores to be built in the district. This exception is moot for this property because the existing grocery store within this shopping center would not be affected by the rezone. 2. Petition for Rezoning The applicant, the City of Fort Collins, filed a rezone petition with the city on January 14, 2000. The applicant is requesting a rezone from NC — Neighborhood Commercial to CN Commercial, North College.
