Director Blanchard stated that the project, if the applicant chose to resubmit it, would.
need to be processed as a Planned Unit Development Amendment, subject to the full
nine -week Planning and Zoning Board review process.
PROSPECT PARK PUD - PRELIMINARY - #21-95
Project Planner Ted Shepard gave the Staff Report recommending approval with the
four conditions as outlined on Page 9 of the Staff Report.
Linda Ripley, Ripley Associates and representative of Ed Mullaney Sr. and Ed Mullaney
Jr., gave a brief history of the property. She discussed the access to and from the
project, pedestrian and bike circulation via sidewalks and bike trails, surrounding
population, building orientations, landscaping and screening, the handling and
integration of the wetland area, concerns of water quality, lighting which will be detailed
at final, and the hours of operation of commercial properties.
Ruth Clear, Transportation Consultant for this project, reviewed the traffic study that
was performed for this project. Three intersections were studied on this project which
included Prospect and Shields, Prospect at Stone Creek, and Shields at Stuart. They
reviewed existing conditions, background conditions and total traffic conditions for
1997. She stated that they also performed a study of these conditions for the year
2010. Traffic counts showed that the existing intersections operated at Level of Service
D with the exception of Prospect and Shields at the PM peak hour which operates at a
Level of Service E. She added that they studied the direct impact of Spring Creek
Village PUD, the Windtrail projects, the Preserve, the Fort Collins Senior Center and
Prospect Il. In the year 2010 during the PM peak hours, Prospect/Shields intersection
drops to Level of Service F, Shields/Stuart drops to an E, and Prospect/Stone Creek
remained at F. One concern with the Prospect/Shields during the PM peak hour is the
northbound left turn. To improve on this, she considered changing the left turn exit to
another location and, in the future, install a dual northbound left turn. This would entail
moving the southbound lane over one lane and the bridge would have to be widened.
She stated that the City Transportation Department would consider this for the long-
term future. The developer will dedicate the right-of-way for this possible improvement.
CITIZEN INPUT
Mike Byrne, 1505 S. Shields Street, had concerns with Shields Street being at traffic
capacity. He stated that everything is car -oriented and had a large concern for
pedestrian safety.

Member Walker referred back to the issue of character, as related to the change in mix
of bedrooms. He added that the pool and volleyball courts remained as part of this
proposal, but that given the lapse in time and the change in potential clientele,
something such as a child care center might be more appropriate.
Member Walker added that in the applicant's attempt to keep the proposed project
within the realm of a minor change, that some changes were in fact not made towards
what might be the best possible project design.
Member Cottier asked about the landscaping plan that went along with the project, and
how it compared to the 1980 landscaping plan.
Mr. Olt said based on his review, there were no significant changes in the landscaping
plan.
Member Bell asked for more specific information on the nature of the recreation center
and the actual size of the active recreation part of the building.
Mr. Sheppard stated that the recreational part of the building was 1600 square feet and
included: a manager's office, leasing office, kitchen, retreat area and a small game
room/assembly area.
Member Bell asked if the recreation building was similar to community buildings that are
found in area mobile home parks.
Mr. Sheppard said that was correct. He added that the size was smaller than the
applicant would have preferred, but that it was adequate.
Member Bell stated that the center was more passively recreational than actively
recreational.
Mr. Shepard replied in the affirmative.
Member Walker moved that the project be considered .a major change, based on
the fact that the change in the bedroom mix represented a significant change in
character.
Member Bell seconded the motion.
The motion passed 5-2 with Members Strom and Mickelson in the negative.

Member Carnes asked about All -Development Criteria, and asked if the proposal would
met the "point" requirements of that.
Mr. Olt, said that the proposal did meet the points needed, and that the review based
on applicable criteria and changes to the project only.
Member Bell asked about the missing file.
Director Blanchard clarified that the former Chief Planner and Division Head made a
handwritten note to the file three years ago, that based on infrastructure improvements
-- the owner held vested property rights and the approved project remained a valid
PUD. He noted that although the file for final approval is missing, that there is no
written indication of any possible conditions tied to final approval
Member Bell asked for clarification on envelope versus perimeter measurements on the
buildings.
Mr. Olt explained the methods for measurement on open space, and said they were
essentially the same.
Member Bell asked for clarification on the applicant's use of the term "large" when
referring to bedroom size.
Mr. Sheppard stated that he was referring to the original condominium units.
[In reference to the missing file] Member Cottier asked if a copy of the minutes of the
August 1980 City Council hearing [at which the original project had been approved] had -
been obtained.
Mr. Olt said it had not. He added that the file had been reevaluated as recently as
1993.
Member Cottier said she was concerned about the original conditions as they related to
magnitude of change for the new project.
Member Bell asked for clarification on the six percent (6%) landscaping requirement.
She inquired whether a variance was needed.
Mr. Olt said that as practice, a variance was not required within the PUD setting.

Member Walker asked for clarification regarding the issue of "change of character".
Deputy City Attorney Eckman replied that the term "change of character" has fairly
broad connotations. He stated that synonyms might include: "characteristics",
"attributes" or "fundamental features". He noted that "change in character" was not
limited to a change in land use. He said that in making a determination, it might be
helpful for Board members to ask themselves: "Why is the provision in the code"?. He
said that it could be assumed that the Criterion was included to protect against negative
impacts on neighboring property. He then advised the Board that the resident/owner
composition of the project [owner -occupant vs. occupants with fee or leasehold
interests] should NOT be part of the Board's consideration in making a decision, since it
would be speculative.
Chairperson Clements asked for clarification on affordability as related to the
landscaping requirements.
Mr. Olt stated that there was five percent (5%) interior landscaping. He said, however,
that the LDGS allows some latitude in review of a PUD [Section A, 2.4 (Vehicular
Circulation and Parking -- All Development Criteria)]. He stated that the review
guidelines contain subjective statements. He said that when the nature of changes
proposed provide an increase in character of quality in the new development, then a
decrease in actual percentage of landscaping is justified.
Member Cottier raised the issue of this situation being the first time an approved PUD
has attempted to become active 15 years later, and that there has been a considerable
change in the traffic situation over that time period.
Mr. Vosburg deferred to Director Blanchard and Deputy City Attorney Eckman in stating
what regulatory provisions were in place for requiring a traffic study. He added that he
would communicate with them to see what would need to be done to ensure that.
Mr. Olt clarified for Member Cottier the designated points of vehicular access for the two
projects, which were identical.
Member Carnes raised then issue of "process" pertaining to administrative approvals
which required conditions.
Mr. Olt said that administrative change approvals frequently contain conditions, if those
conditions are warranted.
Planning and Zoning Board Minutes
June 26, 1995

Mr. Vosburg said that the second issue was to consider how a proposal such as this
would interact with traffic on the street "today", given the current conditions. He stated
that the City did need to see a traffic study. Mr. Vosburg said that the amount of
congestion at the two key intersections [Starflower/Harmony and Wakerobin/Shields]
would be the focus of the traffic study. He stated that the developer had committed to
providing that study. Mr. Vosburg noted that staffs approval of administrative changes
is conditioned on that traffic study showing that the "Level of Service" at the two key
intersections would operate at Level D or better -- which is the City's adopted standard
(measure of delay). He said that if Level D is not met, then the project would have to
be changed to lessen the impact, or mitigation measures would need to be instigated to
relieve congestion.
Member Strom asked if the developer would need to do a traffic study with the existing
approved plan.
Mr. Vosburg replied that they would not need to do a traffic study.
Mr. Vosburg, in explaining the reasons why there would be little change in traffic impact
between the two projects, also clarified the methods of analysis used to determine
traffic impact.
Chairperson Clements asked whether there were any statistics on affordable housing
occupancy and traffic impact.
Mr. Vosburg said that there were no statistics which differentiated trip generation by
socio-economic status.
Member Walker asked whether the housing affordability or the low-income issue came
into the decision making at any point in time on review of the project.
Mr. Olt said that the affordability or the low-income aspect of the clientele was not
considered during the review of the administrative change.
Member Walker stated that six percent (6%) landscaping should then be required, since
affordability was not part of the review process.
Member Walker clarified some items regarding change in traffic impact, as related to
major or minor change to the project.
Planning and Zoning Board Minutes

related to the change from condos to apartments, traffic concerns and safety. He
expressed concerns related to decreased property values.
Elizabeth MacRitchie, 4406 Rosecrown Court, said she believed the paramount issue
was safety. She said she was particularly concerned about children going to school,
riding bikes, and going to other parts of the neighborhood to play with friends. She
stated that when driving, she had to take a left hand turn onto Harmony -- and that she
averaged six to ten minutes in making the turn.
Dan Pohle, 4461 Hollyhock Street, expressed concerns surrounding "process" in terms
of the proposed development. He said he believed that approval of the project was
"ramrod-ed" through. He said he did not have concerns regarding the switch from
condominiums to apartments.
CITIZEN INPUT CLOSED
Chairperson Clements made two points of clarification. She referred to Mr. Herrera's
allegation that at the neighborhood meeting, City staff made a presentation on behalf of
the applicant. She clarified that this was a misperception; staffs role was to provide
information for the Board and to facilitate neighborhood meetings. She stated that the
City was working hard to change that perception.
Chairperson Clements added that if wording on the neighborhood meeting letter gave
the impression that the project was being "ramrod-ed" through, that was also a
misperception.
Chairperson Clements [in reference to Mr. Smith's comments regarding her former
residency and neighborhood involvement in opposing a prior proposal on the same
property] stated that for the record, she was no longer a neighborhood resident -- and
that therefore, there was no conflict of interest.
Chairperson Clements asked Tom Vosburg, former Transportation Planner, to clarify
issues concerning traffic.
Mr. Vosburg stated that there were two important points regarding traffic related to this
project. He said that first, review of the project must consider the following: "How do the
changes proposed by the developer compare with the traffic that would have been
generated by the development as it stands currently approved?". He stated that there
would be no change in traffic impact between the project as it is being proposed and
what is already approved.

Mr. Carlson stated that the current project was being proposed as a type of housing
that was consistent with the, nature of the original proposal, had been extensively
reviewed by staff, fit within the criteria of.the LDGS, and would supply a need within the
housing market: He urged approval of the project by the Board.
Eric Sunness, 4406 Rosecrown Court, shared that he had a number of concerns. He
said that the switch from condominiums to apartments represented a major change,
and that increased traffic was a problem.. He stated thatleft hand turns from Starflower
onto Harmony Road, and Wakerobin onto Shields, were at the present time
unnavigable. He also said that safety to school children was a concern. He added that
at a neighborhood meeting in February, the developers said that they would have an
independent traffic study performed. He said that to his knowledge, no such study had
been performed. He brought forth allegations over what he believed to be inappropriate
behavior and dishonesty on the part of public officials and the developer. He stated
that neighborhood residents were mislead into believing that they had no basis to
challenge the project, which they were informed had already received administrative
approval. He also cited the original project file, which had been misplaced. He said the
missing file made it difficult to determine if any conditions had been placed on the
original proposal. He implored the Board to consider the neighborhood concerns
regarding the project.
Linda Smith, 4430 Hollyhock Street, reiterated concerns regarding traffic. She stated
that when she purchased her property ten years ago, she was told that the project
which had been approved on the subject property consisted of one- and two -bedroom
condominiums. She believed that the additional bedrooms represented a drastic
change. She added that she did not believe the recreation center was large enough to
service the possible number of tenants.
Wylie Smith, 4430 Hollyhock Street, believed that the change from condominiums to
apartments represented a change to the character of the neighborhood, since condos
tend to be more owner occupied and apartments represent rental housing. He added
that it has been a close-knit neighborhood, but that five houses are currently for sale.
He said that at the last neighborhood meeting, residents were told that students would
not be allowed -- and now at tonight's meeting, it was stated that students might be
allowed, if they met certain requirements. He reiterated traffic concerns expressed by
others.
Mark Ball, 4443 Hollyhock Street, urged the Board to consider items regarding process,
and added that he believed the project represented a major change, especially in terms
of "quality of life". He said he believed that the impacting factors on quality of life were

Member Carnes asked Mr. Sheppard why he believed his allusion to housing
affordability and tax credits was relevant.
Mr. Sheppard replied that he believed it was relevant because of the tremendous need
for affordable housing in the City of Fort Collins, which included affordable multi -
housing.
Member Carnes asked whether tax credits had been secured and how the applicant
defined affordable housing.
Mr. Sheppard stated that the applicant applied for tax credits in the second round of the
Colorado Housing Finance Authority's tax credit program, and was not successful. He
added that the applicant was currently pursuing another option and applying for non-
competitive tax credits.
Mr. Sheppard explained that one hundred percent (100%) of the units would be rented
to tenants whose income was less than sixty percent (60%) of the area's gross median
income, and that twenty percent (20%) of the units would be rented to tenants whose
income was less than fifty.percent (50%) of the area's gross median income.
Chairperson Clements deferred to Deputy City Attorney Eckman in clarifying that the
housing affordability issue was not part of the Board's consideration in reviewing the
appeal.
Mr. Sheppard stated that the affordability component was applicable, since it was tied
to the six percent (6%) landscaping consideration.

Scott Carlson, P.O. Box 247, Eastlake, CO., spoke representing the property owners,
which he said consisted of a partnership between his father, his brothers and himself.
He stated they acquired property in 1987. In 1988, his family went through a 1'/2-year
process seeking to rezone the property to commercial, and were unsuccessful in that
attempt. He stated that the neighborhood residents at that time were opposed to
commercial use, and believed that the multi -family housing use would have less impact
on the neighborhood. He added that in his recent contacts with neighborhood
residents, people had allegedly shared that their predominant concern was with the
low-income nature of the housing.

Mr. Sheppard said that Tom Vosburg, former Transportation Planner, had indicated to
him that traffic would not be impacted to the degree that there would have to be a
change at the corner of Shields and Harmony. He said that to satisfy the concerns of
the neighborhood, the applicant had volunteered to have a traffic study performed at its
own expense.
Mr. Sheppard said that Mr. Olt addressed the six percent (6%) landscape issue in his
staff report. He added that all 116 units are affordable housing units for low income
households.
Mr. Sheppard spoke to the applicant's commitment to the project, citing some financial
and "track record" statistics.
Mr. Sheppard clarified that there would not be a lot of students in the housing units.
Due to tax credit status requirements for the project, students would need to be
married, filing jointly and full-time students. He said that the applicant performed an
independent market study, and found that there was a tremendous need for three -
bedroom units in Fort Collins. He stated that the Housing Authority waiting list had
nearly 2500 people who were looking for housing.
Mr. Sheppard spoke to the changes over time from the original Master Plan for the
area. He said that a portion had subsequently been down zoned from proposed
townhomes to single family homes, which decreased the density of the Master Plan.
Mr. Sheppard stated that in order to meet minor changes, the applicant was going to
take four more units away, but that multi -family housing was needed to maintain the
overall density of the Master Plan.
Mr. Sheppard explained the reasons for the seventy-four bedroom increase. He said
that the original 1980 plan had one- and two- bedroom units. He shared that
apartments were built much differently then, and were much larger units. The new
proposed units have smaller square footage, are much more efficient, and help keep
the affordability component.
Mr. Sheppard said that there was increased total square footage, but decreased gross
leasable floor space. He added that no matter what definition was used for commercial
residential, the proposal has less square footage, and therefore it was not increased by
two percent (2%).
Mr. Sheppard said the proposed project increased the total square footage of buildings,
and therefore did not increase open space. He shared that the new proposal stays
below the height limit. It is at forty feet, which is below the approved PUD level of 41.5
to 44.5 feet.

Mr. Herrera referred to Page Four of the appeal letter, which cited that Building D
appeared to encroach into the setback along Shields Street. He said that fact was
borne out in the approval, which was also conditioned on proper setbacks to the
property line. He added that although. it was a .minor item, that.the plan should conform
to Code requirements before approval and without condition.
Mr. Herrera said his clients' calculations on the six percent (6%) interior landscaping
showed it as appearing not to meet the standard.
Mr. Herrera said that he was not advocating against a housing project, but rather was
advocating for "process", and that such a project should not be presented to the
neighborhood as a fait accompli.
Mr. Herrera said that his clients agreed that Criterion 5 was not applicable, since there
was not a greater -than -one -percent (1%) change in the number of residential dwelling
units. He said that the other four criteria did, however, apply. In particular, he argued
that Criterion 1, regarding change of character in the project, did apply; he said the
change in character on the project was significant enough to warrant full Planning and
Zoning Board review.
Mr. Herrera concluded by stating that utilities and traffic impact changes were -- in and
of themselves -- major changes, and should therefore subject the project to full
Planning and Zoning Board review.
Mr. Kipling Sheppard, representing Kaufman and Broad Multi -Housing Group, reviewed
the application process for those present. He said Kaufman and Broad first applied for
an administrative change in February, did not understand the five Review Criteria, and
were at fault for such. He said that on the February application, the applicant made
what it thought was an improvement to the project by: keeping the seven buildings
existing as they were; adding an additional building as a residential building, and;
changing one building to a recreation center. He said the applicant believed it was
essential to provide a recreation center for a community of 120 units in order to
efficiently and successfully manage the property.
Mr. Sheppard said that after the administrative change denial, the applicant weighed
between choosing to go through a lengthy public hearing process versus revisiting the
plan in order to make changes that would conform to the minor change framework. He
stated that Kaufman and Broad decided to revise the plan by keeping the same number
of buildings, decreasing the number of units by four and providing a recreation center.
He stated that the bottom line was that the applicant now met the five Criteria for a
minor change.

Mr. Herrera stated that the original project was submitted and approved as a
condominium project. He said it was his understanding that the record [file] from 1980
was misplaced, and that it was therefore unclear whether there were conditions that
were imposed in 1980. If -so, it was also unclear whether or not those conditions were
satisfied. He suggested that some inquiry would need to be made into the matter.
Mr. Herrera stated that there were some modifications to the building types, including
the addition of a recreation/office building. He said that he disagreed with Mr. Olt's
interpretation that the recreation building was not eligible and therefore did not increase
the gross leasable floor space. He cited Page 95 of the LDGS, which refers to gross
leasable floor space occurring in either commercial or residential Planned Unit
Developments.
Mr. Herrera cited the addition of seventy-four (74) bedrooms as a significant change.
Mr. Herrera alleged that a difference in methodology in calculating open space (building
envelopes vs. perimeters of buildings) may have led to a misrepresentation in amount
of actual open space difference between the two projects. He stated that "active" and
"residual" open space were not clearly defined terms, and that one or the other needed
to be used in making open space determinations.
Mr. Herrera stated that the other changes included changes to the type of building and
number of on -site parking spaces.
Mr. Herrera referred to the fact that staff had required a traffic study as a condition of
approval on the administrative change. He said that a staff decision had been made
prior to knowing the results of the traffic study, which was tied to one of the review
criteria in determining whether the project constituted a major or minor change.
Mr. Herrera stated that he achieved different results when calculating building and other
measurements based on site plan information. He referred to materials submitted with
the appeal when referring to the figures.
Mr. Herrera stated, in reference to the building envelope issue, that the Zoning
Division's approval was given with the condition that the revised site plan be submitted
showing the building envelope dimensions. He said he believed it suggested that they
did not have the building envelope dimensions at the time of approval, and that it was
therefore not possible to determine whether there had been excessive encroachment
into the open space.

against criteria established for projects approved prior to March 13, 1981 [a different set
of criteria is used for projects approved after that date].
Deputy City Attorney Eckman explained the decision outline (flowchart), which was
distributed to Board members to help guide them in their decision -making process on
the appeal. He advised the Board to make two different motions: 1) regarding the
magnitude of change (major/minor); and 2) regarding staffs review of the project (if the
Board determined the change to be minor).
Member Carnes asked for clarification on the difference between the two sets of criteria
used to review administrative changes for projects before or after March 13, 1981.
Deputy City Attorney Eckman referred to page 94 of the Land Development Guidance
System (LDGS) section in explaining the differences.
Attorney David Herrera, representing several homeowners in the neighborhood affected
by the application, said he was asked by his clients to evaluate the applicant's proposal
to staff, and to comment whether or not he believed it to be a major or a minor change
from the approved PUD. He noted that an application to administratively amend the
approved PUD was submitted in February, 1995. He added that at the time, staff
determined that that particular proposal constituted a major change, and the application
was denied.
Mr. Herrera alleged that there were some procedural problems with the project. He
said that there were some neighborhood questions which have been unanswered. He
stated that the neighbors, based on the information given them, and calculations made
therefrom, believed the project to constitute a major change, subject to full Board
review. He stated that it was unclear whether all five of the criteria -- or any one of the
five criteria -- constitute a major change. He stated that his interpretation was that any
one of the five criteria would constitute a major change. He noted that the application
form for projects did not include any place to check for any type of review other than
administrative.
Mr. Herrera referred to his appeal letter. He clarified a mistake on Page Two,
Paragraph Nine. He stated that the minimum number of required off -site [sic] parking
spaces necessary to conform to code without variance should correctly read as: "208.5"
[misidentified as "215"]. He stated that the applicant, in the new application, did have
211 parking spaces, and that therefore the parking requirement was not an element of
this appeal..

5) an increase by greater than one percent (1 %) in the approved number of
residential dwelling units.
Mr. Olt stated that staffs decision to approve the changes administratively was based
on the following:
• there were no changes in layout, bulk, or mass;
• the project still contained seven buildings in essentially in the same location; .
• the project still contained three-story buildings that did not exceed forty feet in
height;
• the buildings were still the same in terms of scale, mass, and materials;
• the parking and driveway layout was still the same, with the exception of 15
additional parking spaces;
• there were no changes in public utility needs;
• there were no changes in increased traffic circulation compared to the original
project;
• there was no reduction in open space based on the same methodology used to
measure the original building envelopes;
• Criterion 4 (percentage changes in gross leasable floor area) was not used in .
review, since the City does not consider multi -family housing a commercial use
(the recreation building is considered an auxiliary use); and
• Criterion 5 is not applicable; there are actually four less dwelling units.
Chairperson Clements clarified the fact that there is an approved plan on the parcel for
which a building permit can be obtained at any time.
Mr. Olt concurred. He added that the plan had been evaluated a number of times over
the past three years, and that both the Current Planning Department and the
Engineering Department consider the approved plan of August, 1980 to be valid and
carry with it a vested right. Submittal of updated utility plans would be required, to see
if they are in conformance with today's standards.
Chairperson Clements asked Deputy City Attorney Eckman to provide an overview of
the legal aspects of the appeal review.
Deputy City Attorney Eckman stated that Section 2, 353 of the Code authorizes the
Planning and Zoning Board to hear appeals from any decision made by an
administrative official which pertains to any planning item which was previously
approved or reviewed by the Board. He stated that this PUD did meet the Code criteria
for the Board to hear the appeal, and that review of the major or minor change would be

incorporated into the Development Agreement. The design quality of the bridge will be
a normal pedestrian/bike bridge.
Member Walker commented that all the issues that have been discussed are policies
that are being met in this plan.
Member Walker moved to approve Fairbrooke Heights PUD Preliminary.
Member Carnes seconded the motion.
The motion carried 7-0.
WOODLANDS PUD - APPEAL OF AN APPROVAL OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE
CHANGE - #27-95
Steve Olt, City Planner, gave the staff presentation. He stated that in August 1980, a
plan for 120 multi -family dwelling units on 9.8 acres was approved by the Planning and
Zoning Board. The development, as approved, undertook significant activity within the
prescribed two-year time period. Mr. Olt noted that the approved PUD plan is still
considered to be a valid plan with a vested right to construct that project.
The Planning Department received an administrative change request on May 4, 1995
and approved it on May 12, 1995. Mr. Olt said that the proposed change included: a
request to change the name to Woodlands Apartments; the elimination of four dwelling
units in one building; provision for an office/leasing/recreation building; and a switch
from one- and two -bedroom dwelling units to one-, two- and three -bedroom dwelling
units. He stated that the appeal was received on May 26, 1995.
Mr. Olt outlined the criteria for determining minor changes for projects approved prior to
March, 1981. Changes to a project cannot include any of the following:
1) a change in the character of the development;
2) an increase in the problems of traffic circulation and public utilities;
3) a reduction by greater than three percent (3%) of the approved open space of
the project;
4) an increase of greater than two percent (2%) of the approved gross leasable
floor area of commercial buildings in either residential or commercial Planned
Unit Developments (PUD's); or

Mike Ludwig, Project Planner, gave the staff presentation. He stated that the proposed

realignment might cause the ditch access maintenance road to be relocated on the east
side of the ditch. That, in turn, might cause a problem with certain encroachments into
the ditch company's existing irrigation easements. He added that the applicant, the
