RE: Spradley Barr - Use conversion on easterly 250' of site
PROJECT #: 3862 (3862MEM6)
As you know, Spradley Barr has purchased the REA facility on South College Avenue,
and is in the process of adapting the building and the site to an automobile dealership through
the Larimer County Building Department. The owners have also submitted an annexation
petition to the City of Fort Collins.
Technical differences between the existing zoning in Larimer County, and the
anticipated City of Fort Collins "C Commercial" zoning district, require that the landscaped
auto display area comprising the front 250't or the site (the area between the east facade
of the building and College Avenue) be reviewed as a "Type 2" use under the new Land Use
Code. In anticipation of this requirement, the applicants have designed the area using the
criteria of the Fort Collins Land Use Code. In addition, we have tried to address previously
identified neighborhood concerns including landscape treatment, site lighting, any changes
in storm drainage patterns, and the paging system.
We are looking forward to receiving additional input from property owners in the area,
and from City Staff during the review process. Please call if you need additional information.
