We have accumulated the property designated in the overall development plan (ODP) and designed the initial phase of the project to be a natural extension of the existing development. The properties east of our development have been developed as single family and duplex residential with the inclusion of a major neighborhood park and major open spaces. West of our plan lies higher density residential development, a major office and industrial park and a major retail development along College Avenue. North of the development lies a small area of highway business zoning, a major irrigation canal and wetlands areas. Our southern neighbor is a health care related project containing both educational and residential functions as well as a major drainage lake. We are compensating not only for its obvious detention capabilities, but also as a natural open space amenity to our neighborhood. LOCATIONAL POLICIES FOR SPECIFIC LAND USES. 64.

GREENBRIAR VILLAGE P.U.D. - ODP AND FOURTH FILING STATEMENT OF PLANNING OBJECTIVES The Fourth 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 GOALS 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. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
