Dear Resident or Property Owner:
This letter concerns the recently approved development at 3425 S. Shields. This project includes
redeveloping the approximately three -acre site at the northwest corner of Shields and Richmond into
a four -building project with a three-story commercial building on Shields and three three-story multi-
family residential buildings with a total of 36 units on the rear portion of the site. The property is
zoned MMN—Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood.
This project was approved at an Administrative (Type 1) public hearing on November 1, 2007. The
approval did not include all of the land uses that the developer intended. The approved commercial
uses include: convenience retail stores without fuel sales; artisan and photography studios and
galleries; child care centers and adult/daycare respite centers. Additional commercial uses permitted
in this zone include: personal and business service shops; offices, financial services, clinics and small
animal veterinary clinics; and limited restaurants. The developer wished to have these additional uses
approved, they were included in the Traffic Impact Study, and if you attended the neighborhood
meeting, you may recall that he described the commercial building as having offices and a coffee
shop. An oversight led to an approval which did not include these uses. In order for these additional
uses to be approved, they must be reviewed at a Planning and Zoning Board (Type II) public hearing.
Therefore, a request for the additional uses will be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board at
their next regular meeting.
Prior to the Planning and Zoning Board hearing, another neighborhood meeting will be held. Although
a neighborhood meeting was already held on Monday, August 270, 2007, and was very well attended
by neighbors, the Land Use Code requires a neighborhood meeting for any Type II (Planning and
Zoning Board) request, so this opportunity is available to anyone wishing to attend. There will be
no changes to the plans nor new information from what was presented at the first
neighborhood meeting. This second neighborhood meeting will be held on Wednesday,
January 9th, 2008 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the City of Fort Collins Senior Center at 1200
Raintree Drive in Meeting Room #MU3 (north entrance).
At this meeting, you will have another opportunity to hear from the developer about the approved
plans and to ask questions and share your thoughts about their request to add Type II uses. Again,
these uses were described by the developer at the first neighborhood meeting —no changes are
proposed from the first meeting.
The Planning and Zoning Board will consider only the additional requested uses and impacts
they may have; they will not reconsider any other aspects of the previously approved plans.
The hearing will be held on January 170" 2008 in the City Council Chambers in City Hall, 300 W.
Laporte Avenue starting at 6:00pm. The agenda will be available soon at
http://fcgov.com/cityclerk/planning-zoning.php. If you have any interest or concern about this request
for Type II uses, you are encouraged to attend this public hearing. At the hearing, you will have an
opportunity to hear from City staff and the project applicant about the details of the request. You will
also be given an opportunity to state your views about the request for additional uses.
