WESTBURY PUD
Statement of Planning Objectives
March 7, 1994
Westbury is planned as a mixed use residential community to provide for a variety of
housing types, as well as being compatible with adjacent neighborhoods. Westbury is
surrounded by the Front Range Community College on the East, The Gress Gallery and
residence to the Northeast, the Ridge estate lots to the West, and vacant land to the South.
To achieve neighborhood compatibility, the applicant is proposing to locate attached
multifamily and small lot single family homes adjacent to Shields Street. These homes will
be buffered from Shields by an open space corridor that contains the stormwater retention
facilities. These homes then transition to larger estate lots immediately adjacent to The Ridge.
Opportunities for future access to adjacent parcels have also been provided.
The applicants planning goals are consistent with the adopted Goals and Objectives
and the Land Use Policies Plan of the City of Fort Collins with regard to neighborhood
planning, compatibility, mixed use development, and locational criteria for various land uses.
Applicable policies include:
Policy 3 The City shall promote:
a. Maximum utilization of land within the city;
d. The location of residential development which is close to
employment, recreation, and shopping facilities.
Policy 12 Urban density residential development - usually at three of more
units to the acre - should be encouraged in the urban growth
area.
Policy 74 Transitional land uses or areas (linear greenbelts or other urban
design elements) should be provided between residential
neighborhoods and commercial areas in order to enhance the
concept of a mixture of land uses.
Policy 75 Residential areas should provide for a mix of housing densities.
Policy 79 Low density residential uses should locate in areas:
a. Which have easy access to existing or planned
neighborhood and regional/ community shopping centers;
b. Which have easy access to major employment centers;
