HAMPSHIRE PONDS EAST PUD
Statement of Planning Objectives
August 21, 1995
The Hampshire Ponds East PUD is planned to provide multi -family housing in an area
dominated by single family homes. Traffic circulation, utilities, and storm drainage are
designed in conformance with plans completed for the adjacent Hampshire Ponds PUD.
This site represents an opportunity to both increase the residential density of the area,
and to provide an alternative housing type adjacent to Drake Crossing Shopping Center. This
site is immediately adjacent to, and provides a connection to, the Spring Creek Trail, which
in turn provides easy access to Rolland Moore Park, and the future Southwest Community
Park. Elevens Neighborhood Park is also within walking distance.
Hampshire Ponds East PUD, as proposed, is consistent with the adopted Land Use
Policies Plan of the City of Fort Collins, both with regard to neighborhood planning and
locational criteria for residential land uses: Specifically policies 3.a, 3.b., 3.d, 12, 22, 75.,
79.a 794 80.b, 80.c, 80.e, and 80.f.
The proposed land use is also supported by:
Recently adopted City policies and LDGS regulations that strongly promote
increased residential densities, and the location of residential development in
close proximity to schools, parks, and neighborhood shopping centers.
Strong recommendations for a greater mix of housing types (specifically multi-
family) by the Planning and Zoning Board.
The clear opportunity presented by this parcel to provide a needed (multi -family)
element to the land use mix in the general area; and to locate that use within
easy walking distance to existing and planned schools, a neighborhood park,
existing and future employment centers, and the Drake Crossing neighborhood
shopping center.
It is estimated that development of the subject property will begin in early 1996, and
continue through 1997.
