1. A landscape plan will be required as part of this submittal. The landscape plan should show
how you plan to meet the parking interior and perimeter landscape requirements. 6% of the
internal area of the parking lot must be landscaped. You must provide street trees along
Academy Court and provide either a low shrub wall, low fence, earthern berm, or low wall to
provide screening along Academy Court and Prospect Road.
2. You must provide 4 bicycle parking spaces. These spaces can all be provided via fixed rack.
3. The front entrance to the building should have a direct connection to the sidewalk network.
None is shown on the current site plan. Staff will look for this detail upon submittal of a PDP.
4. The parking area must meet the following minimum setbacks:
From an arterial street - 15 feet
From a non -arterial street - 10 feet
From a lot line - 5 feet
5. The maximum parking permitted for your use and the proposed size of the building (5,057
sq. ft.) is 26 spaces (5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.). The proposed parking lot exceeds this
requirement. Staff will not support a modification to exceed the parking maximum. Please
revise your site plan to conform to the parking requirements. The minimum parking
requirement is 2 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft., which would equate to 11 spaces.
6. Provide architectural elevations of the trash and recycling enclosure along with the elevations
of the proposed building. The enclosure should use similar architectural features as the
principal structure. The enclosure must be built on a concrete pad and feature a walk-in gate
separate from the main service gates.
7. Per Land Use Code section 4.28(E)(2)(b), the building should be sited to make up 30% of the
frontage along Prospect Rd. Staff can work with you on siting the building to better meet this
standard. Otherwise, this would require a modification that would likely support.
8. The proposed development project is subject to a Type 1 review and public hearing, the
decision maker for Type 1 hearings is an Administrative Hearing Officer. The applicant for
this development request is not required to hold a neighborhood meeting for a Type 1
hearing, but if you would like to have one to notify your neighbors of the proposal, please let
me know and I can help you in setting a date, time and location for a meeting. Neighborhood
Meetings are a great way to get public feedback and avoid potential hiccups that may occur
later in the review process.
9. Please see the Development Review Guide at www.fcgov.com/drg. This online guide
features a color coded flowchart with comprehensive, easy to read information on each step
in the process. This guide includes links to just about every resource you need during
development review.
10. This development proposal will be subject to all applicable standards of the Fort Collins Land
Use Code (LUC), including Article 3 General Development Standards. The entire LUC is
available for your review on the web at http://www.colocode.com/ftcollins/landuse/begin.htm.

11. A Development Cor-`ruction Permit (DCP) will need to be c' ined prior to starting any work
on the site.
12. LCUASS parking setbacks (Figure 19-6) apply and will need to be followed depending on
parking design.
13. All fences, barriers, posts or other encroachments within the public right-of-way are only
permitted upon approval of an encroachment permit. Applications for encroachment permits
shall be made to Engineering Department for review and approval prior to installation.
Encroachment items shall not be shown on the site plan as they may not be approved, need
to be modified or moved, or if the permit is revoked then the site/ landscape plan is in
non-compliance.
14. Any rain gardens within the right-of-way cannot be used to treat the development/ site storm
runoff. We can look at the use of rain gardens to treat street flows — the design standards for
these are still in development.
15. Bike parking required for the project cannot be placed within the right-of-way and if placed
just behind the right-of-way need to be placed so that when bikes are parked they do not
extend into the right-of-way.
16. In regards to construction of this site: the public right-of-way shall not be used for staging or
storage of materials or equipment associated with the Development, nor shall it be used for
parking by any contractors, subcontractors, or other personnel working for or hired by the
Developer to construct the Development. The Developer will need to find a location(s) on
private property to accommodate any necessary Staging and/or parking needs associated
with the completion of the Development. Information on the location(s) of these areas will be
required to be provided to the City as a part of the Development Construction Permit
application.

3. Any damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk existing prior to construction, as well as streets,
sidewalks, curbs and gutters, destroyed, damaged or removed due to construction of this
project, shall be replaced or restored to City of Fort Collins standards at the Developer's
expense prior to the acceptance of completed improvements and/or prior to the issuance of
the first Certificate of Occupancy.
4. All public sidewalk, driveways and ramps existing or proposed adjacent or within the site
need to meet ADA standards, if they currently do not, they will need to be reconstructed so
that they do meet current ADA standards as a part of this project.
5. Please detach the public sidewalk along Prospect to the intersection of Prospect and
Academy.
6. Any public improvements must be designed and built in accordance with the Larimer County
Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). They are available online at:
http://www.larimer.org/engineering/GMARdStds/UrbanSt.htm
7. This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and easements that are necessary
or required by the City for this project. ROW along Prospect will need to be dedicated to the
constrained arterial standard (102' ROW total). Most easements to be dedicated need to be
public easements dedicated to the City. This shall including the standard utility easements
that are to be provided behind the right-of-way (15 foot along an arterial and 9 foot along all
other street classifications). The change in ROW may necessitate additional easement.
Information on the dedication process can be found at:
http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/devrev.php
8. It looks like the proposed accessway is shown to line up with the driveway across Academy
Ct — this looks great and is where the access will need to be to meet LCUASS access
spacing standards.
9. Utility plans will be required and a Development Agreement will be recorded once the project
is finalized.
10. As of January 1, 2015 all development plans are required to be on the NAVD88 vertical

Contact: Rebecca Everette, 970-416-2625, reverette(u.fcgov.com
1. Generally, an Ecological Characterization Study (ECS) is required by Section 3.4.1 (D)(1) as
the site is within 500 feet of a known natural habitat (Coterie Natural Area and Spring Creek).
However, as there is an arterial road between those features and this property and the
standard buffer would not extend to this project's parcel, the ECS is waived for this site.
However, please consider the use of native and wildlife -friendly plants and grasses to
complement those natural features, in accordance with Article 3.2.1 (E)(2)(3) of the Land
Use Code.
2. City of Fort Collins Land Use Code [Section 3.2.1 (E)(3)], requires that to the extent
reasonably feasible, all plans be designed to incorporate water conservation materials and
techniques. This includes use of low -water -use plants and grasses in landscaping or
re -landscaping and reducing bluegrass lawns as much as possible.
This site is located within a potential movement corridor for Red -Winged Blackbird and
Painted Lady butterflies. As such, native plants and wildlife -friendly landscaping (e.g.,
flowering perennials, native grasses, fruiting shrubs and trees)and maintenance are also
encouraged. Please refer to the Fort Collins Native Plants document available online and
published by the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department for guidance on native plants
is: http://www.fcgov.com/naturalareas/pdf/nativeplants20l3.pdf.
3. In regard to lighting, especially LED light fixtures, cooler color temperatures are harsher at
night and cause more disruption to circadian (biological) rhythms for both humans and
wildlife. Please consider a warmer color temperature (warm white, 3000K or less) for any
LED light fixtures. Please also consider fixtures with dimming capabilities so that light levels
can be adjusted as needed. Site light sources shall be fully shielded and down -directional to
minimize up -light, light spillage and glare [see LUC 3.2.4(D)(3)]. For further information
regarding health effects please see:
http://darksky. org/ama-report-affirms-h uman-health-impacts-from-leds/
4. It is not clear whether there are active prairie dogs on this site. If there are, City Code and the
Land Use Code require that any prairie dogs inhabiting a site must be relocated or humanely
eradicated prior to development activities (see Section 3.4.1(N)(6) of the Land Use Code).
Additionally, should this project gain approval and proceed to construction, a burrowing owl
survey, in accordance with the Division of Parks and Wildlife standards, shall be conducted
prior to construction by a professional, qualified wildlife biologist.
5. Our city has an established identity as a forward -thinking community that cares about the
quality of life it offers its citizens now and generations from now. Thus, the City of Fort Collins
has many sustainability programs and goals that may benefit this project. Of particular
interest may be:
