FOR GROWTH LEASING INDUSTRIAL SITE AT 1237 RED CEDAR CIRCLE
PROJECT NARRATIVE
Proposed Use — The approximately 1.10 acre site located in north Fort Collins is zoned industrial
and proposed as a manufacturing facility to process marijuana infused products. This will be a secure
site for manufacturing only, no sales or distribution on site. The applicant, Growth Leasing LLC, will
remain the landlord for the property, not the licensee.
Existing improvements — None, undeveloped green field site.
Site Design, Circulation and Architecture — Site will consist of a +/-8875 square foot building
placed on the site to allow for required setbacks, parking, circulation, detention and utilities. The
applicant intends to build a CMU block building, however, they continue to research other building
materials for the best product for the site and building program. The immediate area surrounding the
building will be fenced with metal security fencing to meet the requirements of Code section 3.8.11.
Similar to adjacent properties, there will be a small parking lot for employees with sidewalks for
internal circulation (see site plan for more detail).
Compatibility with surrounding area — The surrounding area contains buildings similar in form and
layout for industrial use.
Drainage, Detention and Runoff — The consultant team includes Northern Engineering who has
completed a survey to determine existing grades and drainage patterns and sized on -site detention
ponds accordingly. There is approximately 0.25 acres on the site with the current layout to
accommodate detention (see site plan). All runoff will be channelized along the drainage swales as
well as the parking lot curb and gutter, detained and released at historic rates to the existing storm
sewer infrastructure.
Natural Features —To our knowledge, there are no natural features on the site that would be
affected by the development.
Fire Sprinklers — The facility will utilize fire suppression in critical areas as required by code.
Landscape and Lighting — There are no existing trees on site that would be impacted by the
development. Street trees, parking lot landscape and perimeter landscape will be designed to meet
the requirements of code section 3.2.1 Landscaping and Tree Protection. Site lighting will be provided
for safety and security per code section 3.2.4.
