Impala Heights Village, P.U.D. is.a proposed multi -family residential
planned unit development owned by the Fort Collins Housing Authority. It is
located east of Impala Drive and north of West Mulberry Street.
The site is an in -fill project since it is contiguous to existing
development on all sides. It has existing utility services either onsite or
very close proximity. Transfort provides bus service on West Mulberry Street.
The density is 6.65 units per acre which is low for a multi -family P.U.D.
This low density is not so imposing on the adjacent single-family subdivision.
The main objective is to provide affordable housing to Fort Collins
families. The Fort Collins Housing Authority has a waiting list for tennants,
and this project would relieve this need with the proposed 56 units.
The Fort Collins Housing Authority is planning to construct a new office
and maintenance building on this site. They have outgrown their present
facility, and the City of Fort Collins Planning Board denied a plan to add
to their existing building. The proposed building would have a community room
that could provide day care at a future time.
The units are modular four-plexes and duplexes. They will replace the
existing single -pane windows with double -pane windows. Boiler rooms will be
added to provide energy conserving hot water heat. The site plan is open enough
to provide solar gain for nearly all buildings. There is very little shadow
from one building onto another building due to the openness of the plan.
It is planned to construct twelve units at the south end of the project
in the last half of 1993 and the other 44 units in 1994. The construction
of the proposed office and maintenance building is planned for 1995.
