MEETING DATE: February 22, 1993
ITEM: Dental Office at Taft Hill Road
APPLICANT: Lucia Liley
c/o March and Myatt, P.C.
110 East Oak Street
Fort Collins, CO 80524
LAND USE DATA: This is a proposal to allow a total of 5 employees
(4 plus the Dentist) at an existing "home occupation" Dental
Office, located at 1731 South Taft Hill Road. The property is
zoned RL, Low Density Residential, and this proposal would have to
be reviewed as a Planned Unit Development. Dental Offices are not
considered a "use -by -right" or allowable use without a PUD. The
dentist, Dr. Ira McIntosh, does not propose any internal or
external changes to the property. The request would not include a
request for additional treatment rooms or increase the intensity of
use on the site.
COMMENTS:
1. If no upgrades are required for electrical power, then Light
and Power does not have comments.
2. A minimum of 2 parking spaces for every 3 employees would be
required. An additional 4 spaces per 1,000 -square. feet of
medical office is also recommended. It appears as if there is
plenty of parking provided on site for both the residential
and dental uses.
3. Poudre Fire Authority requires a fire hydrant within 400 feet
of the property.
4. The change of use, from a home occupation business to a mixed
use residential/office use, triggers requirements of the
current building and fire .codes, as the building would be
treated as a new building. There are requirements for one
hour fire construction to separate residential 'areas from
office uses, including one hour rated ceilings, doors, etc.
Please contact Sharon Getz at the Building Department (221-
6760) for more detailed information.
5. The topic of variances to requirements of the home -occupation
ordinance was discussed.
6. The topic of variances to the building code was also
discussed. These variances would be applied for through the
Building Review Board. Staff suggests that you contact Felix
Lee, Director of. the Building Department, for more
information.
