The project has previously been titled the Johnson Property Sidehill. The project components include the following:  Bucking Horse Residences – LMN Single Family Detached (LMN zone district) This project includes uses within the existing Low Density Mixed Neighborhood (LMN) zone district. The project is envisioned as a replat of the existing Bucking Horse Filing 2 property. KEY ISSUES AND CONSIDERATIONS The Bucking Horse Project Development Plan is similar to a Master Planned Community, providing a healthy, diverse mix of housing types, land uses and planned open space – thus furthering the vision of Plan Fort Collins or City Plan. The project responds to changing market conditions, and has its own unique character based on the historic Jessup Farm and Johnson Farm, which effectively bookend the site from the north and southeast. Although, there are three zone districts within the overall project boundaries, it is necessary to consider the project as a cohesive whole, where additional compatible uses are requested to achieve the overall thematic character while providing necessary amenities. 1. CITY PLAN PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES ACHIEVED BY THE PROPOSED PLAN LIV 4: Development will provide and pay its share of the cost of providing needed public facilities and services concurrent with development. All roads, access points, sidewalks and street trees/roadway landscaping within the project will be paid for by the developer. LIV 6.2 – Seek Compatibility with Neighborhoods New architectural features will respect the Johnson Farm character that is part of the great Bucking Horse development, as well as the existing neighborhood character, through integration of craftsman/farm detailing and building types. The extension of the single family lots along Nancy Gray creat a continuous design to the main street of the neighborhood. LIV 10.1 – Design Safe, Functional, and Visually Appealing Streets Well-lit streets with street trees and detached walks are included within each zone district, with accessible ramps at each corner. LIV 10.2 – Incorporate Street Trees Street trees will be included per standards, at least 40’ O.C. along all public ROW’s. LIV 11.2 – Incorporate Public Space Bucking Horse Fling 3 Project Development Plan Page 2 of 5 STATEMENT OF PROPOSED PLANNING OBJECTIVES Russell + Mills Studios | May 2014 Public spaces will be included throughout the overall development with elements that include a dog park, walkways, trails, a working farm, and a City owned park. The single- family areas will include passive open spaces and open-space trail connections. LIV 14.1 – Encourage Unique Landscape Features Wide porches along Nancy Gray create a unique landscape feature and character. LIV 14.2 – Promote Functional Landscape All planting will be designed with native/adaptive plants, emphasizing foundation planting and including edible plants and fruit trees within the LMN district. LIV 14.3 – Design Low Maintenance Landscapes Native and adaptive planting and a minimized turf area, reserved for functional/multi-use lawns will allow a minimum of maintenance. Shrub beds will be maintained without excessive pruning or ‘snow-balling’ of shrubs. LIV 21.2 – Establish an Interconnected Street and Pedestrian Network The street and pedestrian network will allow access to all proposed open-space features as well as providing an interconnected trail system. A variety of open space connections to the trail system are provided within the Detached Single Family Area. Open space connections are also provided within the Johnson Farm Innovation Campus area, around the Dog Park, horse boarding and Working Farm, providing connectivity to street sidewalks. LIV 22.4 – Orient Buildings to Public Streets or Spaces All proposed buildings within the LMN zone district will be oriented to roadways. LIV 22.8 – Reduce the Visual Prominence of Garages and Driveways Within the LMN area, alley access will virtually eliminate garage presence from the adjacent roadways. LIV 22.9 – Form Neighborhood Edges Neighborhood edges are created either through separation of uses accomplished by landscape transitional zones or buffers or using proposed roadways as an edge. LIV 23.2 – Integrate Natural Features All existing stands of healthy trees and shrubs will be maintained through design efforts throughout the project. LIV 25.1 – Coordinate Neighborhood Planning and Phasing The project phasing from west to the east will allow development to occur while minimizing impacts to existing neighborhoods south of Nancy Gray Avenue. LIV 28.1 – Density The LMN district will have an average overall density of approximately 8.2 DU/AC. LIV 30.2 –Connect to Surrounding Neighborhoods Roadway and pedestrian connections are proposed to connect to the existing neighborhood along Nancy Gray Avenue. LIV 30.3 – Improve Pedestrian and Bicycle Access Bucking Horse Fling 3 Project Development Plan Page 3 of 5 STATEMENT OF PROPOSED PLANNING OBJECTIVES Russell + Mills Studios | May 2014 The trail access throughout the adjacent Urban Estate district will promote walkability and bicycling to parks and open spaces in addition to providing access to overall community amenities. LIV 31.4 – Design for Pedestrian Activity The trail access throughout the adjacent Urban Estate district will promote walking to parks and open spaces in addition to providing access to overall community amenities. SW 3.3 – Encourage Private Community Gardens in Neighborhood Design Edible plants will be provided within all common areas in the Single Family Detached neighborhoods. T 8.2 – Design for Active Living The trail access from the adjacent Urban Estate district will promote walking to parks and open spaces. 2.

An interconnected open - space trail system throughout the adjacent Urban Estate areas, based on storm water drainage corridors is proposed.
