RE: River District Block One Mixed Use Redevelopment –
Project Development Plan Submittal
Dear Ted,
We are pleased to submit the following documents for review of the Block One Mixed Use Project.
This submittal follows several meetings and site walks with city staff members, community
members, and stakeholders as well as a detailed and informative Preliminary Design Review held
on February 15, 2012. This mixed use project is an exciting addition to downtown Fort Collins and
the Cache la Poudre River corridor. It is an excellent illustration of the redevelopment envisioned in
the Downtown River District Redevelopment Plan, and is a great example of implementation of the
purpose stated in the River Downtown Redevelopment District (R-D-R). Furthermore, it offers a
chance to develop a successful public/private partnership to enhance a portion of the city’s
riverbank property in the downtown area.
We have included the required submittal items, a detailed project narrative in the Statement of
Planning Objectives, and response to the comments from the Preliminary Design Review meeting.
Please feel free to call with any questions, and we look forward to your review of the project.
Sincerely,
For BHA Design, Inc.
Angela K. Milewski
