Subject: Fort Collins Self Storage traffic study
(File: 9319MEM1)

aKnudson
Engineers & Constructors, Inc. is proposing to
build Fort Collins Self Storage, west of Linden Street and
z
a
north of Linden Center Drive in Fort Collins. Linden Center
ais
a small commercial park, consisting of varied uses
a,
including a homeless shelter, night club and light industrial
uses. Just to the northeast of the proposed Fort Collins Self
Storage, the Fort Collins Streets Department will be
relocating to the sugar refinery site. The "Streets
Department Facility Site Access Study," June 1991 and "The
Platte Valley Lumber Traffic Study," March 8, 1993 were used
as references in preparing this memorandum.
Fort Collins Self Storage will be built on a parcel that
will access Linden Street and Linden Center Drive. The Linden
Street access will be a split driveway, located 150 feet north
of Linden Center Drive. The Linden Center Drive access will
be located approximately 250 feet west of Linden Street. This
access exists and is used by the City to service an electric
substation. Fort Collins Self Storage is expected to have
z
760 storage units. Trip Generation, 5th Edition, ITE was used
W
to determine the expected daily and peak hour travel to/from
z
this facility. This information is presented in Table 1.

The peak hour trips were assigned to the street network
In the vicinity of the site. Background traffic was obtained
from the cited studies. Figures 1 and 2 show the respective
•
short range and long range peak hour assignments at the key

intersections.

at the key intersections is not significantly different than

is concluded that the traffic related impacts caused

by Fort Collins Self Storage are minimal and can be
accommodated on the public street system as reflected in the

Land Use Policies
Land -use policies achieved by the proposed development include:
*Policy 22 - Contiguous to existing development
•Policy 43 - Habitat conservation through site planning
*Policy 59 - Appropriate mitigation to allow use in floodplain
•Policy 61 - Location within existing industrial zone.
*Policy 88 - Maintains access to designated open space (Poudre River
Corridor).
Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to your comments.

RE: Save*More Self Storage
Planning Objectives
Dear Board Members:
The Save*More Self Storage is located in the Linden Tech Center Subdivision
adjacent to Fort Ram and Catholic Community Services near the intersection
of Linden Street and East Vine Drive. The proposed development has
143,000 SF of storage space on 7.0 acres, for a landfbuilding ratio of 1.17:1.
Access & Circulation
The major circulation within the development is paved driveways between the
storage units, with primary access off of Linden Center Drive. There is an
additional access on Linden Street.
There is a 40-foot access easement in the northwest corner of the develop-
ment, providing access to a power transformer station.
The site will surface drain into Coy Ditch on the north property line.
Land Use
The development reflects a use -by -right in a General Industrial Zoning
District. The target market is northeast Fort Collins. The west boundary
adjoins the City Trail System, and the buildings will be configured to preserve
existing trees along the bike path.
The landscape development includes streetscape plantings on Linden Street
and Linden Center Drive, as well as buffer plantings adjacent to the Poudre
River Trail on the southwest corner of the site. The plantings in this area
follow the recommendations of the Department of Natural Resources, as
shown in "Recommended Vegetation for the River Corridor".

Kirsten Whetstone
Planning Department
City of Fort Collins
Dear Kirsten,
On June 16,1993, an onsite meeting was held at the location of the proposed SAVE*-
MOR P.U.D. One of the issues discussed was the location of the fenceline separating
the SAVE*MOR building and traffic area from the Gustav Swanson Nature Area. I
would like to review what our landscaping proposals have been and suggest something
that may satisfy Natural Resources and the citizen groups that have been involved with
the Gustav Swanson area.
The City has a rail fence across the westernmost portion of the SAVE*MOR site,
delineating natural areas adjacent to the existing trail. Our initial submittal of May 3,
provided landscape buffering in this area of approximately 2170 square feet. After
review, the City felt that they needed more substantial buffering. The client not only
decreased his building square footage to accommodate this request, but has offered to
deed this area to the City and allow the volunteer group working with the Nature Area
to plan landscaping of their choosing. The dedicated area increased to approximately
4440 square feet.
In an effort to retain several cottonwood saplings, the Nature Area is now proposing
to increase the buffer to approximately 6630 square feet. The client realizes the
resource value of cottonwoods in the river corridor, but to comply with this will
require losing another large portion of building, which will represent permanently lost
income. These trees are small at this point, and growing under the canopy of larger
cottonwoods. The lack of sunlight is causing an irregular growth habit which will
become a hazzard and a maintenance problem as the trees become larger. The client
would like to propose keeping the present fence configuration and substituting the
existing saplings with others in the buffer area. They would quickly reach the size of
those removed, and provide similar screening.
We would also like to stress to staff the generous amount of landscaping the developer
has provided. Subdivision regulations call for 6% of the vehicular surfaces to be
landscaped. Excluding right -of --way landscaping, this development provides planting
totaling 12% of the vehicular surface. We feel this serves the community much better
than development to subdivision standards, which would stress buffering along the
rights -of --way, to the detriment of the Nature Area.
We hope that this information. will make staff and concerned citizens more com-
fortable with.the plan, and invite your comments.
Sincerely,
Jim Sell Design, Inca

such property and provided that such extension can be granted
without substantial detriment to the public good.
If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to
be included in the development agreement, the developer may
present such dispute to the Board for resolution if such
presentation is made at the next succeeding or second
succeeding monthly meeting of the Board. The Board may table
any such decision, until both the staff and the developer have
had reasonable time to present sufficient information to the
Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects
to table the decision, it shall also extend the term of this
condition until the date such decision is made).
If this condition is not met within the time established
herein (or as extended, as applicable), then the final
approval of this planned unit development shall become null
and void and of no effect. The date of final approval for
this planned unit development shall be deemed to be the date
that the condition is met, for purposes of determining the
vesting of rights. For purposes of calculating the running of
time for the filing of an appeal pursuant to Chapter 2,
Article II, Division 3, of the City Code, the $final decision"
of the Board shall be deemed to have been made at the time of
this conditional approval; however, in the event that t
dispute is presented to the Board for resolution regarding
provisions to be included in the development agreement, the
running of time for the filing of an appeal of such 11final
decision" shall be counted from the date of the Boardis
decision resolving such dispute.

There are several large cottonwood trees along the west property
line which will be retained. There are also 6 smaller (8-1011)
cottonwood trees growing beneath the larger trees. The developer
proposes to replace the smaller cottonwoods with shade and water
tolerant species to provide a similar amount of screening and
achieve heights that provide mid -level understory coverage. The
cottonwoods currently provide the mid -level screening, but are
likely to grow resulting in a reduction in screening at that level.
Three cottonwoods, 5 peachleaf willows, 16 chokecherry, 40
snowberry shrubs, 17 golden currant shrubs, and 15 wild roses will
be planted in the open space tract. In addition, 26 clematis or
virginsbower vines will be planted to grow along the fence
separating the Gustav Swanson Area from the proposed project.
Staff has reviewed the potential for water quality impacts and has
determined that since such a small area of the site drains towards
the Nature Area, the impacts on water quality will be minimal.
The Poudre River is several hundred feet away and stormwater will
not be deposited directly into the River, but rather into an area
of the Nature Area which is thickly vegetated. Final details about
this release area and any work which will be necessary to prepare
the area for the water will be reviewed and approved by the Natural
Resources Division and will be included on the Utility Plans.
RECOMMENDATION:
This proposal for a preliminary and final PUD for Save Mor Self
Storage meets the criteria of the Auto -Related and Roadside
Commercial Uses Point Chart and the All Development Criteria of the
Land Development Guidance System. The proposed use is compatible
with surrounding uses. Therefore, staff recommends approval of
Save Mor Self Storage PUD, preliminary and final- #27-93 with the
following conditions:
1. The Planning and Zoning Board approves this planned unit
development final plan upon the condition that the development
agreement, final utility plans, and final P.U.D., plans for
the planned unit development be negotiated between the
developer and City staff and executed by the developer prior
to the second monthly meeting (August 23, 1993) of the
Planning and Zoning Board following the meeting at which this
planned unit development final plan was conditionally
approved; or, if not so executed, that the developer, at said
subsequent monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an
extension of time. The Board shall not grant any such
extension of time unless it shall first find that there exists
with respect to said planned unit development final plan
certain specific unique and extraordinary circumstances which
require the granting of the extension in order to prevent
exceptional and unique hardship upon the owner or developer of

buffering and visually breaking up the length of proposed storage
buildings. Special emphasis has been placed on the Linden Street
streetscape and along the common boundary with Gustav Swanson
Nature Area. In addition, the proposed landscaping along the Coy
Ditch and railroad ROW will significantly improve the appearance of
this area.
An 8' by 4' ground mounted, internally illuminated sign will be
located at the northeast corner of the site at the Linden Street
entrance.
4. Transportation
Access to the site is off of both Linden Street and Linden Center
Drive. The Transportation Staff has reviewed the Traffic Study
submitted with this project and agrees with the conclusion that
traffic related impacts caused by this project are minimal and can
be accommodated on the existing public street system.
5. Storm Drainage
The City Storm Water Utility has reviewed the Storm Drainage Report
and Grading Plans for this project and finds that they adequately
address most of their concerns. There are some minor drainage
issues which are unresolved, including an off -site easement to be
obtained from the City of Fort Collins for drainage onto the Gustav
Swanson Nature Area property. Staff feels that these issues are
not major enough to warrant a separate condition of approval, and
that the concerns will be addressed prior to Stormwater's signing
of the plans. The standard engineering condition addresses these
concerns.
6. Natural Resources
The Natural Resources staff reviewed this proposal and suggested
that a Tract of land west of buildings L, M, and N be dedicated to
the City to be included as part of the Gustav Swanson Nature Area.
The applicant agreed to shorten buildings N and M to accommodate
this Tract and create a wider buffer area between the driveways and
existing nature trail. The current setback from buildings to the
property line is 30' for "N" and 45' for "M" and "L". Staff feels
that this distance, combined with the proposed landscaping provides
an adequate visual buffer between this project and the Nature Area.
The applicant has agreed to provide the desired landscape materials
to Natural Resources staff and the Gustav Swanson Steering
Committee, which will be responsible for final design, planting,
and maintenance of the area. Natural Resources has provided a
landscape design for this area to be incorporated into the
landscape plan filed with this project.

3. Design
The proposed use consists of 140,000 square feet of self storage,
in 14 separate buildings. The applicant proposes to phase
development of the site from north to south. A manager's residence
is proposed at the northeast corner of the site to be occupied
during the initial phase of development. As the site is completed
a second manager's unit will be added near the Linden Center Drive.
At that time, the unit at the northeast corner may or may not
remain a residence and may be converted to a maintenance building
for the site. Residential development fees will be paid for both
units at the time of building permit issuance.
Access to the site is through controlled gates that would be
accessible to renters of the storage units. A "knox box" is being
provided for Poudre Fire Authority emergency access at all gates.
The majority of the proposed storage buildings are 914" in height.
The southwest building "N" is 14' in height. All buildings are
proposed to be painted an off-white, buff color with dark brown
trim. The storage unit doors will be a dark brown. The storage
buildings are proposed to be constructed of split face block.
The site has been designed to accommodate fire and emergency
equipment access by providing adequate lane widths and turning
radii. Four parking spaces have been provided for the residential
units. A dark green vinyl clad chain link fence will be provided
along most of the perimeter of the site, except where a building
serves as "fencing", along the north property line adjacent to the
railroad ROW, and where wrought iron fencing with split face
pilasters are proposed along Linden Street.
A solid wood fence will separate building H and the undeveloped
parcel of the Catholic Community Services. The applicant is in the
process of acquiring this parcel for an expansion of the storage
area which would require a Planned Unit Development and review by
the Planning and Zoning Board.
Lighting at the site will be limited to down directional fixtures
installed on the buildings, below the roof line.
The applicant has agreed to add notes to the site plan addressing
limitations of use of the storage units to exclude rock bands,
manufacturing activities, construction, or other noisy operations,
and precluding the storage of hazardous waste or materials.
A mix of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs are planned for
the perimeter of the site. Given the limited height of the
buildings, the proposed landscape plan does an adequate job of

COMMENTS:
1. Background
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N:
C;
Colorado and Southern Railroad ROW, Larimer County
Maintenance Facility,
S:
I-G;
Linden Tech Center Self
Storage, Catholic Community
Services Mission, Fort Ram
bar and restaurant
E:
I-P;
City of Fort Collins Streets Facility PUD
W:
I-G;
Gustav Swanson Nature Area
and Light and Power's Linden
Sub -Station
The property is zoned I-G, General Industrial. The site is a
portion of the Linden Tech Center Subdivision which was approved in
1972 and replatted in 1973. A portion of the site, along the north
boundary and the Coy Ditch, has not been platted, therefore, the
entire project is being subdivided with this request. Storage
units are an allowable use in the IG zone.
Uses -by -right in the I-G Zone may be reviewed and approved by the
Building Department, however this process requires that all zoning
district requirements be met. There are no specific setback, bulk,
area, screening or landscaping requirements in the I-G Zone which
would apply to this particular use. There are however, landscaping
requirements which must be met as part of the Parking Code. In
this instance, the applicant chose to pursue the proposed use as a
PUD, so that the Parking Code provision for 6% of the interior of
parking and driveways in landscaping would not necessarily be
required. Given the nature of the proposed land use, such interior
landscaping does not provide a benefit for the public.
2. Land Use
The proposed use consists of a 140,000 square foot self storage
facility with two manager units on a 7.06 acre site. The PUD
scores 71% on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Uses Point
Chart of the Land Development Guidance System. This exceeds the
minimum required score of 50%. Points were earned for a) not at
two arterial streets, b) part of a planned center (or industrial
park), c) access on a non -arterial street, d) two acres or more, h)
contiguity to existing urban development. The project also meets
the applicable criteria of the All Development Chart of the LDGS.
There are two manager's residences proposed. Because these are
accessory uses to the storage land use, a residential density chart
is not required. The residential units will provide for 24 hour
supervision of the site.
