acres) is not developed, residential development may be proposed. If residential
development is proposed, then these acres are added into the formula for
calculating density. These additional acres must produce/yield enough dwelling
units to maintain the minimum overall average density of 6 dwelling units per net
developable acre (4.77 du's/acre gross).
F.
The proposed minimum density is a higher density than the market has given us Ij
over the past years. The proposed minimum density is roughly equivalent to the
type of density proposed for the Structure Plan Preferred Alternative.
The Staff Memo and Ordinance No. 52, 1996 both state: "for the purposes of
this Ordinance, the term net developable acre shall be defined as ................I for
the following reasons:
1. Since the City does not have a definition of "net density", staff consulted a
standard reference book for Professional Planners.. The Illustrated Book
of Development Definitions defines "net acreage" as the area of the
property excluding those features or areas which the development
ordinance excludes from the calculations. The City does not have a
development ordinance defining what features or areas which may be
excluded. Therefore it must be defined in Ordinance No. 52, 1996.
2. Staff is unaware of similar situations where the City has placed a
condition on the zoning of a property that requires a minimum overall
density on a property other than the minimum 3 dwelling units per that is
required of any residential P.U.D. by All -Development Criteria A-1.12
"Residential Density". The use of "net density" for this instance only, is a
result of direction from the Council to consider wetlands, noise buffers,
etc. which exist on this property. The wording was chosen to differentiate
the manner which density was calculated for this rezoning from the way in
which density calculations are made under the LDGS.
The "Two Ponds at Overland" is an unrelated situation for the following reasons.
Two Ponds is zoned R-F, Foothills Residential. While the R-F district does not
allow P.U.D.'s, it does allow the option of a Cluster Development Plan, provided
the overall gross density is not greater than 1 dwelling unit per acre. The, units
are clustered together in the portion of the property designated for residential
development at a density of 3 to 5 dwelling units per acre. Two ponds was a
total of 284 acres. An overall gross density of 1 dwelling unit per acre allowed a
total of 284 dwelling units. The 284 dwelling units were clustered on the area
below the Dixon Canyon lateral at a density of between 3 and 5 dwelling units
per acre.
Q. The 11 acres for a school and 26.8 acres for a park. if these don't happen,
what happens to the net developable density? Just because someone
shows a school site, does it make it mandatory that it goes there or Is It at
the discretion of Poudre R-17 Will our conditions on density hold if the
school and/or park aren't built?
A. No development will be allowed in the wetlands/buffer portion of the 26.8 acres.
If a park is not developed on the remainder of the 26.8 acres or if a school (11

RE: Response to Council Questions - Item #34
Staff offers the following responses to Mayor Pro-Tem Janett's questions regarding
Item #34 - Country Club Farms Rezoning:
Q. It states 'Yor the purposes of this Ordinance" the formula for net
developable acre is defined as "x". Is this the standard formula? Do we
have one? If this isn't standard or we have multiple definitions.. please
explain. The issue of "developable acres" seems to change... in Two
Ponds we gave credit for land that couldn't be built on... on this one we
aren't. Need more info.
A. The City does not have a definition for net density. The Residential Uses Point
Chart and All Development Criteria A-1.12 "Residential Density" are based upon
gross density calculations as defined in the LDGS. Therefore, previous
references to "density" by staff in presentations before the Council (whether an
appeal, City Plan, etc.) have always been cross density calculations.
In comparing the proposed minimum density with previously adopted P.U.D.'s
(apples -to -apples), the 6 dwelling units per net developable acre is equivalent
to a gross density of approximately 4.77 dwelling units per acre. A P.U.D.
condition would guarantee only a minimum gross density of 3 dwelling units per
acre. Therefore staff considers 4.77 dwelling units per acre a very good density
that promotes adopted and proposed plans and policies for transit corridors.

WHEREAS, on April 8, 1996, the foregoing zoning request was reviewed by the Planning .
and Zoning Board as required by the City Code; and
WHEREAS, at a public hearings on April 16, 1996 and May 7, 1996, the City Council
considered evidence and received recommendations from City staff and the Planning and Zoning

and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan and with Policy Nos. 3a, 3d, 19, 39, 41, 60, 61, 78,
79b, and 79d of the City's Land Use Policies Plan; and
WHEREAS, attaching a condition that the Property be developed as a planned unit
development would allow for the residential development of the Property, as well as other land uses,

Finally, rezoning the property in the manner described, is consistent with Council direction that the
property should support a higher net density due to its proximity to a future transit route along Vine
Drive.
According to Section 29423 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins, the City Council must change
the zoning of a property in the "T", Transition Zone to another zoning district within 60 days from
the date the matter is considered by the Planning and Zoning Board. Therefore, the property must
be rezoned by June 7, 1996.

(Note: The Transit Development Plan suggests that transit should follow
development. Any proposed development on the site would be required to make
improvements to traffic and pedestrian circulation and would generate a need for
transit.)
#41 The City should encourage residential development in the northeast .....
#60 Industrial uses should locate near transportation facilities that offer the required
access to the industry but will not be allowed to create demands which exceed the
capacity of the existing and future transportation network of the City.
#61 Industrial development should locate within the City or consistent with the phasing
plan for the urban growth area, where the proper sizing of facilities such as water,
sewer and transportation has occurred or is planned.
#75 Residential areas should provide for a mix of housing densities.
#78 Residential development should be directed into areas which reinforce the phasing
plan in the urban growth area.
#79b Low density residential uses should locate in areas which have easy access to major
employment centers.
#79d Low density residential uses should locate in areas within walking distance to an
existing or planned neighborhood park and within easy access to a community park.
#80b Higher density residential uses should locate within close proximity to community
or neighborhood park facilities.
#80c Higher density residential uses should locate where water and sewer facilities can be
adequately provided.
#80d Higher density residential uses should locate within easy access to major employment
centers.
#80e Higher density residential uses should locate with access to public transportation.
In addition, the following statements from the adopted Community Vision and Goals 2015
document could be used to support the proposed rezoning:
Our City will develop in a form that makes comprehensive, convenient, and efficient transit
service possible.
Our neighborhoods will include a variety of housing types to support a diverse population
and allow people of different ages, cultures, races and incomes to live in each neighborhood.
Our neighborhoods will have the environment, amenities, mix of uses, and housing attributes
to support a diverse population.

NOTE: The adoption of Ordinance No. 52, 1996 does not grant any land use approval for
this property. The PUD conditions on the zoning districts will require any
development proposal(s) on this property to be submitted as a Planned Unit
Development subject to the requirements of the Land Development Guidance System
(LDGS). The minimum overall average density conditions may not superseded by
a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Rezoning this 140.1 acre property in the manner described above is in conformance with a number
of policies contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Some examples from the City's
Comprehensive Plan are as follows:
From the Goals and Objectives document:
Promote increased development in the north and northeastern areas of the City.
Provide a rational pattern of land use for the older parts of the City which promotes the
integrated redevelopment and development of business, industrial, and residential areas in
the northern and northeastern areas of the City.
Encourage residential, commercial, and industrial development in the northeastern area of
Fort Collins in a manner conducive to the desirable redevelopment of North College Avenue
and the Central City, especially downtown.
The above themes are repeated in the following policies from the Land Use Policies Plan:
4t3a The City shall promote maximum utilization of land within the City.
#3d The City shall promote the location of residential development which is close to
employment, recreation, and shopping facilities.
#12 Urban density residential development usually at three or more units to the acre
should be encouraged in the urban growth area.
#19 The City shall establish a project impact system as a growth management tool which
would cover.
a. Positive and negative environmental impacts;
b. Positive and negative social impacts;
C. Positive and negative economical/fiscal impacts;
d. Positive and negative impacts on public services and facilities, including
transportation.
(Note: Regardless of the underlying zoning, the PUD condition will require any
proposed land use to be evaluated against the LDGS which is the City's "project
impact system".)
#39 The City should direct efforts to promote improved traffic and pedestrian circulation
and public transit to areas north and northeast of the City.

First Reading of Ordinance No 52 1996:
On April 16, 1996, the City Council voted 5-2 to approve Ordinance No. 52, 1996 as amended on
First Reading to rezone the property from the T, Transition Zoning District to the I-L, Limited
Industrial District with a PUD condition. In addition, Mayor Pro -Tern. Janett requested that staff
research the potential of placing an additional condition on the zoning which requires any residential
development on this property to have some minimum overall average density of greater than 3
dwelling units per acre.
On May 7, 1996, the City Council considered Ordinance No. 52, 1996 - Options A and B. A motion
to approve Option A (placing the property in the I-L District with a PUD condition) failed by a vote
of 3-4. Council approved a motion to reconsider (7-0) and then approved a motion to postpone the
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 52 until May 21, 1996 (7-0). The Council specifically directed
staff to further research the potential of rezoning the southern portion of the property with a
condition requiring a minimum overall average density; and to research the possibility of placing the
property in two zoning districts.
The Ordinance being considered by the City Council will place the southern 60.042 acres (Parcel 1)
in the I-L, Limited Industrial Zoning District with a PUD condition. The northern 80.049 acres
(Parcel 2) will be placed in the R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential Zoning District with a PUD
condition. An additional condition will be attached to the zoning of Parcel 1 so that any residential
use thereon will have a minimum overall average density six (6) dwelling units per net developable
acre and that the minimum overall average density of any residential development on both Parcels
1 and 2 shall be six (6) dwelling units per net developable acre. The gross density for the entire
property of 4.77 dwelling units per acre.
Staff believes that an overall gross density of 4.77 dwelling units per acre is a good density. Without
the conditions as proposed, the gross residential density would likely be 3 dwelling units per acre
as this is all that is currently required by All Development Criteria A-1.12 of the LDGS. 4.77
dwelling units per acre is higher than the current average gross residential density of the City.
For the purposes of this Ordinance, the term net developable acre shall be defined as "total gross
acreage less any acreage, or part thereof, devoted to one or more of the following uses: public
schools; utility and storm drainage easements; access easements or rights -of -way; ditch easements;
or open space, wetlands, park or buffer areas which are to be permanently dedicated to such use"
Of the 140.1 total acres being rezoned, there are 81.3 net developable acres. The condition requiring
the minimum overall average density of any residential development on both Parcels 1 and 2 shall
be six (6) dwelling units per net developable acre will require a minimum total of 488 dwelling units.
The condition requiring that any residential use on Parcel 1 to have a minimum overall average
density six (6) dwelling units per net developable acre will require a minimum of 220 of these units
to be located on Parcel 1.

this property. The PUD conditions on the zoning districts will require any

The applicant, Vaught -Frye Architects, on behalf of the owner, Country Club Farms, L.L_C., filed
a rezoning petition with the City Clerk on February 29, 1996. The petitioner requested that the City

from the T, Transition Zoning District to the R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential Zoning
District with a PUD condition. The applicant stated in the rezoning justification that "This request

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On April 16, 1996, the City Council voted 5-2 to approve Ordinance No. 52, 1996 as amended on
First Reading to rezone the property from the T, Transition District to the I-L, Limited Industrial
District with a PUD condition. On May 7, 1996, the City Council considered Ordinance No. 52,
1996 - Options A and B. A motion to approve Option A (placing the property in the I-L District with
a PUD condition) failed by a vote of 3-4. The Council approved a motion to reconsider (7-0) and
then approved a motion to postpone the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 52 until May 21, 1996
(7-0). The Council specifically directed staff to further research the potential of rezoning the
southern portion of the property with a condition requiring a minimum overall average density; and
to research the possibility of placing the property in two zoning districts.
The Ordinance being considered by the City Council will place the southern 60.042 acres (Parcel 1)
in the I-L, Limited Industrial Zoning District with a PUD condition. The northern 80.049 acres
(Parcel 2) will be placed in the R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential Zoning District with a PUD
condition. An additional condition will be attached to the zoning of Parcel 1 so that any residential
use on this parcel will have a minimum overall average density of six (6) dwelling units per net
developable acre and that the minimum overall average density of any residential development on
both Parcels 1 and 2 shall be six (6) dwelling units per net developable acre (a gross density for the
entire property of 4.77 dwelling units per acre).
The adoption of Ordinance No. 52, 1996 does not grant any land use approval for this property. The
PUD conditions on the zoning districts will require any development proposal(s) on this property
to be submitted as a Planned Unit Development subject to the requirements of the Land
Development Guidance System (LDGS). The minimum overall average density conditions may not
be superseded by a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
According to Section 29-423 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins, the City Council must change
the zoning of a property in the T, Transition District zone to another zoning district within 60 days
from the date the matter is considered by the Planning and Zoning Board. The deadline to rezone
