maintained.
We have no plans for business, commercial or industrial uses other than any
service business that might In the future operate as a functional part of the
residential development. Any employment which might result from these
endeavors would be minor in nature and any guess as to the numerical

residential development, a major office and industrial park and a major retail
development along College Avenue. North of the development Iles a small area
of highway business zoning, a major Irrigation canal and wetlands areas. Our

and residential functions as well as a major drainage lake. We are compensating

amenity to our neighborhood.

GREENBRIAR VILLAGE P.U.D. - ODP AND THIRD FILING
STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES
The Third Filing of The Greenbriar Village ODP is a residential development located
between Redwood Street and Willox Lane, collector and arterial streets
respectively. It is adjacent to two single family residential projects; Greenbriar to
the east and Greenbriar Village Second Filing to the west, and in close proximity
to a major employment center, a planned neighborhood commercial center, a
neighborhood park and significant City owned open space. Reviewing the
COALS AND OBJECTIVES and the LAND USE POLICIES PLAN of the City of Fort
Collins reveals several areas of close conformance:
1. We are locating a higher density project in what appears to be a
very appropriate place.
2. We are providing a mixed density housing project located close to
environment and shopping.
3. We are locating our in -fill project close to existing city infrastructure
such as utilities, parks, mass transit and open space.
The following is an outline of how the project more specifically follows in relation
to the appropriate elements of the City's COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
The 'LAND USE POLICIES PLAN' is one element of the City of Fort Collins'
,COMPREHENSIVE PLAN'. The foundational element of the Comprehensive Plan
is the Statement of 'GOALS AND OBJECTIVES' adopted by the City in 1977. This
statement clearly delineates the City's Goals as they relate to northeast Fort
Collins in several sections.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
Promote increased development in the north and northeastern areas
of the City.
Encourage increased residential development of the
northeastern area in order to support and direct the
redevelopment of the area.
' Provide a rational pattern of land use for the older parts
of the City which promotes the integrated
redevelopment and development of business, industrial,
and residential areas in the northern and northeastern
