Chapter 1 –––– Master Plan Standards Summary
Community Vision
Montava is a significant traditional neighborhood development infused with agrarian elements,
expressing the site’s past and surrounding context. Given its size, Montava is comprised of a series of
connected neighborhoods, each unique in layout, character, intensity, and surroundings. All
neighborhoods are compact and walkable, with some of a higher intensity and others lower in intensity.
The site’s topography and open spaces permeate Montava, pulling natural areas and recreational spaces
into the heart of the community.
Montava’s design relies upon coordination between development standards and the master plan to
achieve community goals. Generally, the standards and design of Montava are aligned with the vision
and goals of the Land Use Code (LUC). Many similar topics are addressed in Montava’s development
standards and the LUC, intending to produce walkable, mixed-use places with buildings and open spaces
that work together harmoniously and in support of a shared public and social fabric. However, the LUC
deals with new development, existing development that is not expressive of LUC goals, and the
incremental process that encourages existing development to align more closely with contemporary
goals. It is a hybrid code, including progressive form-based code elements with conventional elements
addressing legacy development patterns. Montava’s development standards create a pure form-based
code. They more effectively direct form-centric development by their ability to be targeted rather than
anticipating a wide variety of potential applications. Montava’s plan and development standards
together craft design of the project which, in turn, creates a large, diverse, walkable, mixed-use
community and an interconnected series of neighborhoods, centers, and open spaces.
As a result, we request with these PUD Master Plan Standards flexibility in site design: uses, densities,
and LUC development standards and LCUASS engineering standards in order to achieve the Montava
vision and to support and further principles and policies of City Plan.

Montava Zoning – Transect Districts and Special Districts
A transect of nature is a geographical cross-section of a
region that reveals the sequence of environments. It
examines the many symbiotic elements that contribute to
habitats where certain plants and animals thrive. The
transect was first used for biogeographical analysis by
naturalist Alexander von Humboldt in the late 18th Century.
In the late 20th century, Andres Duany, working with New
Urbanist colleagues, identified the rural-to-urban transect
of the built environment, ranging across densities from
unbuilt preserve land to the dense urban core.
Human beings thrive in a variety of habitats: some would
never choose to live in the urban core and others would
wither in a rural place. To provide meaningful choices in
living arrangements, the full rural-to-urban transect is
divided into six transect districts, designed for use in zoning
ordinances. These six habitats vary by the ratio and level of
intensity of their natural, built, and social components. The
transect districts are coordinated to all scales of planning,
from the region, through the community and
neighborhood, to the individual lot and building. Montava
uses five of the six transect districts, excluding the most
intensive district, which applies to the most intensive
regional places, like downtown Denver.
The platform of the transect allows the integration of the
design protocols of traffic engineering, public works, town
planning, architecture, landscape architecture and ecology.
This is the foundation of form-based planning, design, and
coding.
Districts that are not part of the transect system are
considered special districts. Special districts are areas of
single use or special circumstances. The Industrial District,
for instance, is a special use area that is not a
neighborhood-based component of the City.

The Rural / Farm uses proposed for Transect District T2 are not contrary to the public good and satisfy
the criteria of Land Use Code Section 4.29(E)(2):
(a) The uses advance the purpose and objectives of the applicable PUD Overlay provisions set
forth in LUC Sections 4.29 (A) and (B) and the principles and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans and policies. See Subsections 2.2.A and
2.2.B and Chapter 10 of the Project Design Narrative.
In addition, T2 is a key component of land use diversification, providing for an innovative
Montava community design with the interaction of residential and mixed-use areas with the
land’s agricultural heritage. Integrating the transect’s agrarian character into Montava is an
innovative design component supporting the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan’s goals. Apart
from large scale farming, T2 is intended to connect the community to local, productive, and
organic agriculture.
(b) The Rural / Farm use comply with applicable LUC provisions regarding the natural
environment, including but not limited to water, air, noise, storm water management, wildlife,
vegetation, wetlands and the natural functioning of the environment and must continue to
comply with each preliminary development plan submitted pursuant to the PUD Master Plan.
Montava Development Standards
11 of 122
Transect District T2 continues existing agricultural uses of the property. The location of T2
represents the best agricultural soils on the property, which are currently in agricultural use
and will continue in agricultural use. Adjacent to this low intensity transect district are large
areas for storm water management and wildlife in a Natural Areas corridor. The rural farm uses
will comply with all applicable LUC standards, except as modified in this PUD Master Plan.
(c) The Rural / Farm uses are compatible with the other uses proposed for Montava and
with the uses permitted in the zone district or districts adjacent to T2.
Transect District T2 establishes long-term agricultural use of a portion of Montava. This
reflects the existing use of the property and other adjacent properties to the north which
are outside of the Montava PUD Master Plan. It is also central to the goals of the
Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. The agrarian urbanism theme of Montava is knitted
together by the Farm and distributed community gardening and agriculture, which
relates these uses to other areas within Montava.
(d) The Rural / Farm uses are appropriate for this transect district within the PUD Master
Plan.
Transect District T2 continues existing agricultural uses of the property and integrates
agrarian urbanism themes into Montava as contemplated in the Mountain Vista Subarea
Plan.
Transect District T3.1 Rural Neighborhood

Accessory uses BDR
The Rural Neighborhood uses proposed for Transect District T3.1 are not contrary to the public good and
satisfy the criteria of Land Use Code Section 4.29(E)(2):
(a) The uses advance the purpose and objectives of the applicable PUD Overlay provisions set
forth in Sections 4.29 (A) and (B) and the principles and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans and policies. See Subsections 2.2.A and
2.2.B and Chapter 10 of the Project Design Narrative.
In addition, T3.1 is used sparingly in Montava, as a means of transitioning from higher
intensity transect districts to natural area and adjacent, lower intensity residential areas like
Maple Hill. T3.1 assists in diversifying development, being a relative larger lot, single-family
housing district, while the remainder of the site represents more internal mixing of intensities
and uses. Its allocation towards the southeast and northwest edges of Montava
demonstrates how mixed-use and mixed-intensity neighborhoods can transition in scale and
intensity towards natural areas and low intensity uses like agriculture. T3.1 provides a
character of building type and setback that introduces more space for natural landscaping. In
addition, lighting standards designed for this district reinforce the dark sky environment of
the natural areas; it is a key piece in light and intensity transition from active urban areas to
nature. Compared with other districts, houses in T3.1 are more easily supported by
residential PV systems and can orient rooms for solar gain. While not a particularly efficient
land use alone, T3.1 transitions intensity from very efficient uses elsewhere into natural area
that may be negatively impacted by too much human intensity. T3.1 provides significant
opportunities for accessory dwelling units, which increases its land use efficiency. Due to the
district’s scale and limited use, amenities within this district are primarily trails adjacent to
natural areas; the adjacent T3.2 and T4 districts provide additional amenities along with
greater development intensity.
(b) The uses comply with applicable LUC provisions regarding the natural environment, including
but not limited to water, air, noise, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands
and the natural functioning of the environment and must continue to comply with each
preliminary development plan submitted pursuant to the PUD Master Plan.
Transect T3.1 is low impact in nature and dark sky friendly lighting (LZ1) transitions well to
natural areas, provides for more vegetative area, and connects Montava with nature in a
gradual way. The larger lots provide for more on-site storm water mitigation through larger
areas of pervious surface. An exclusively residential district, T3.1 buffers natural areas from
more intensive noise and light of Transect Districts T4 and T5.
Storm water management itself is a key design component of Montava, where natural
topographic features define the location and functioning of constructed storm water systems.
Montava Development Standards
13 of 122
Storm water is managed through vegetated channels and distributed open spaces where it is
cleaned and conveyed to regional systems. Some component of the storm water system passes
through each of the transect districts. In T3.1, the storm water system is designed in a
naturalistic manner and connects directly to systems in the natural areas.
(c) The uses are compatible with the other uses proposed for Montava and with the uses
permitted in the zone district or districts adjacent to this transect district.
Within the developed portions of Montava, the transect concept is used to ensure compatibility
between uses across the site by incrementally transitioning intensity of use from lower intensity
districts, T2 and T3.1, through the medium intensity district of T3.2, to the higher intensity
districts of T4 and T5. The transect directs changes in use intensity, changes in building intensity,
changes in intensity of impervious surfaces and landscaping, changes in hardness/softness of
materials, and changes in lighting, all components of compatibility.
Transect District T3.1 is used sparingly in Montava, as a means of transitioning from higher
intensity districts to natural areas and adjacent, lower intensity residential areas like Maple Hill.
Its use is similar to Transect District T3.2, which is typically the adjacent district, but at a slightly
lower intensity.
(d) The uses are appropriate for this district within the PUD Master Plan.
Transect District T3.1 is a component of development intensity envisioned in the Mountain Vista
Subarea Plan. It is appropriate for use in limited quantities, as applied through the Montava
design. Rural Neighborhood uses transition intensity to aid in compatibility with neighboring
properties and natural areas.
Transect District T3.2 Sub-Urban Neighborhood
There are three (3) Land Use Code zone districts (LMN, E and I) underlying Transect District T3.2. The
Applicant proposes the following uses and types of review for Transect District T3.2.

The Sub-Urban uses proposed for Transect District T3.2 are not contrary to the public good and satisfy
the criteria of Land Use Code Section 4.29(E)(2):
(a) The uses advance the purpose and objectives of the applicable PUD Overlay provisions set
forth in Sections 4.29 (A) and (B) and the principles and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans and policies. See Subsections 2.2.A and
2.2.B and Chapter 10 of the Project Design Narrative.
In addition, Transect District T3.2 is a key component of the mixed-use, mixed-intensity
neighborhood structure of Montava. While not mixed-use, T3.2 provides for a mix in intensity,
transitioning from lower intensity T3.1 areas to mixed-use, mixed-intensity T4 and T5. Transect
District T3.2 is an area of diverse residential uses including single family, duplex, small multi-
family, and limited non-residential components. Its allocation towards the southeast and
northwest edges of Montava demonstrates how mixed-use and mixed-intensity neighborhoods
can transition in scale and intensity towards lower intensity residential development and natural
areas.
Transect District T3.2 provides open space in the form of greens, pocket parks, playgrounds, and
linear open spaces with trails. Open space is distributed through residential areas, providing for
direct or near direct access to amenities for most district residents. Community gardens are a
key component of the district, whether in formal open spaces or informally located in alley areas
and pedestrian ways, as contemplated by the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. Transect District
T3.2 is a more efficient use of land than T3.1, also a key component in the transect concept
innovation of development intensity transitioning. Like T3.1, housing in T3.2 can easily provide
roof area for residential PV systems and orientation of rooms for solar gain. Also similar to T3.1,
T3.2 provides significant opportunities for accessory dwelling units, increasing land use
efficiency.
(b) The uses comply with applicable LUC provisions regarding the natural environment, including
but not limited to water, air, noise, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands
and the natural functioning of the environment and must continue to comply with each
preliminary development plan submitted pursuant to the PUD Master Plan.
Montava Development Standards
15 of 122
Transect District T3.2 has moderate impact, and dark sky friendly lighting (LZ1) transitions
well down to T3.1 areas and natural areas, and up to T4 and T5 areas. Its application buffers
natural areas and systems from higher intensity development in Transect Districts T4 and T5.
The medium sized lots provide for some on-site storm water mitigation through areas of
pervious surface. Additional management is provided through multi-use civic greens and
linear parks.
Storm water management itself is a key design component of Montava, where natural
topographic features define the location and functioning of constructed storm water systems.
Storm water is managed through vegetated channels and distributed open spaces where it is
cleaned and conveyed to regional systems. Some component of the storm water system passes
through each of the transects and districts. In T3.2, the storm water system design accounts for
adjacent development while transitioning to a more naturalistic design in T3.1 and natural
areas.
(c) The uses are compatible with the other uses proposed for Montava and with the uses
permitted in the zone district or districts adjacent to this transect district.
Within the developed portions of Montava, the transect concept is used to ensure compatibility
between uses across the site by incrementally transitioning intensity of use from lower intensity
districts, T2 and T3.1, through the medium intensity district, T3.2, to the higher intensity
districts, T4 and T5. This transect directs changes in use intensity, changes in building intensity,
changes in intensity of impervious surfaces and landscaping, changes in hardness/softness of
materials, and changes in lighting, all components of compatibility.
Transect District T3.2 is moderate in intensity, similar to that of adjacent developments in Maple
Hill, Lind, and Waterglen. T3.2 provides for a mix of housing types and conditions, while
signaling the end of higher-intensity development at Montava’s Town Center and core
neighborhoods. Its uses are limited, but in greater quantity than T3.1, transitioning towards the
lower intensity northwest and southeastern edges.
(d) The uses ae appropriate for this transect district within the PUD PUD Master Plan.
Transect District T3.2 is a significant component of residential development intensity envisioned
in the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. It is appropriate for use in residential districts and is applied
in relatively limited quantities through the Montava design. The uses transition intensity to aid
in compatibility with neighboring properties, natural areas, and T3.1.

Montava Development Standards
17 of 122
In addition, Transect District T4 is the most diverse of Montava’s districts, implementing mixed-
use and mixed-intensity at the neighborhood scale. Transect T4 is the most widely applied
transect in Montava’s plan. From a residential development standpoint, T4 ranges from small
single-family dwellings through cottage clusters and townhomes, to multi-family and live-work
units. From a non-residential development standpoint, T4 allows for a wide range of small-scale
businesses to be integrated into the neighborhood fabric. The district allows for diverse and
innovative development that can flex in intensity and character, allowing it to transition to
medium intensity areas like T3.2 and Storybook, and to high intensity areas like T5.
Transect District T4 district provides open space in the form of plazas, squares, greens, pocket
parks, playgrounds, and linear open spaces with trails. Open space is distributed throughout the
district and diversified in its format and recreational activities. At the smaller end, cottage
cluster greens may be used for community gardens, social gathering space such as outdoor
neighborhood kitchens, or play areas for children. At the larger end, plaza and squares provide
space for higher intensity activities and unstructured sports.
Transect District T4 is an area of very efficient land use, which retains a neighborhood character.
These in-town neighborhood areas support activities in the Town Center and the Farm due to
proximity, allowing residents convenient access to daily needs by walking and cycling. While
providing PV systems is more challenging in T4, the smaller size of each unit reduces the amount
or PV required, which is easily provided on rooftops and in parking areas. Numerous multi-
dwelling or multi-tenant options increase the efficiency of T4, while the building form
requirements maintain compatibility. In particular, T4 is where buildings cluster around active,
shared open spaces, implementing many of the neighborhood fabric goals of the Mountain Vista
Subarea Plan.
(b) The uses comply with applicable LUC provisions regarding the natural environment, including
but not limited to water, air, noise, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands
and the natural functioning of the environment and must continue to comply with each
preliminary development plan submitted pursuant to the PUD Master Plan.
Transect District T4 is more human-oriented than natural, a transition between the more
naturalistic neighborhood districts of T3.2 and the very intense T5. T4 implements the LZ2 dark
sky zone, which follows the transect transition in intensity. The small lots provide for limited on-
site storm water mitigation, which is fulfilled primarily in open spaces – linear parks, civic
greens, and clustered greens – and through storm water corridors.
Storm water management itself is a key design component of Montava, where natural
topographic features define the location and functioning of constructed storm water systems.
Storm water is managed through vegetated channels and distributed open spaces where it is
cleaned and conveyed to regional systems. Some component of the storm water system passes
through each of the transect districts.
(c) The uses are compatible with the other uses proposed for Montava and with the uses
permitted in the zone district or districts adjacent to this transect district.
Within the developed portions of Montava, the transect concept is used to ensure compatibility

between uses across the site by incrementally transitioning intensity of use from lower intensity
districts, T2 and T3.1, through the medium intensity district, T3.2, to the higher intensity
districts of T4 and T5. The transect directs changes in use intensity, changes in building intensity,
changes in intensity of impervious surfaces and landscaping, changes in hardness/softness of
materials, and changes in lighting, all components of compatibility.
Transect District T4 is moderately high in intensity, transitioning from lower intensity areas like
T3.2 and Storybook to T5. T4 provides for a mix of housing types and family configurations, and
small, neighborhood-centric businesses. T4 is used broadly throughout Montava, buffered from
lower intensity land uses by T3, and providing the neighborhood intensity needed to support
Montava’s Town Center. T4 areas support retail and employment areas as well as providing the
social and fiscal support needed for Montava’s open space amenities. Within Montava, T4 plays
an important role in transitioning intensity to ensure compatibility. It is located adjacent to
Storybook, which is equivalent to T3.2 within Montava, and it is located adjacent to Mountain
Vista Drive and Giddings Road, arterial roadways which are best buffered from lower intensity
residential uses by higher intensity uses that have hardier materials, buffering noise.
(d) The uses are appropriate for this transect district within the PUD Master Plan.
Transect District T4 is the primary component of residential and mixed-use neighborhood
intensity envisioned in the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. It is used broadly within Montava,
appropriately buffered from existing residential uses. T4 is lower in intensity than the existing E
and I zones. T4 is a component of LMN, which includes portions of T3 as well. The General Urban
Neighborhood uses are key in supporting the more intensive non-residential areas of Montava.
Transect District T5 Urban Center / Mixed Use

The Urban Center / Mixed Use uses proposed for Transect District T5 are not contrary to the public good
and satisfy the criteria of Land Use Code Section 4.29(E)(2):
The uses advance the purpose and objectives of the applicable PUD Overlay provisions set forth in
Sections 4.29 (A) and (B) and the principles and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan
and other adopted plans and policies. See Subsections 2.2.A and 2.2.B and Chapter 10 of
the Project Design Narrative.
Transect District T5 is the intensive core of Montava. T5 is fully mixed-use and high intensity.
Transect T5 is concentrated around the intersects of Mountain Vista Drive with Timberline Road
and Giddings Road, implementing the Community Commercial and Employment components of
the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. In addition to commercial and employment, T5 includes a
significant multi-family housing component, stand-alone and mixed-use. Direct integration
between high intensity residential uses and commercial and employment areas is necessary for
the success of those areas. Additionally, Montava’s T5 includes public institutions and affordable
housing, located along the Mountain Vista Drive enhanced transportation corridor. T5 provides
the greatest use diversity in Montava, in a concentrated format to promote vibrancy.
Montava Development Standards

Transect District T5 provides open space in the form of plazas, squares, compact greens, pocket
parks, and linear open spaces with trails. Open space is distributed throughout the district and
diversified in its format and recreational activities. Within the core of the district, open space
areas are programmed with public institutions, recreational amenities, and designed for active
social gathering. The use intensity and design formality of T5’s open spaces follows the transect
innovation connecting development intensity with social and recreational intensity. The Town
Center –T5 – also supports the Community Park which is adjacent. A secondary area of T5
provides support to the Farm and adjacent neighborhoods in the northern end of Montava.
Transect District T5 is an area of very efficient and intensive land use. By utilizing shared parking
in T5, excessive parking areas and related drive aisles, curb cuts, and infrastructure is reduced,
improving storm water management and heat island issues. Buildings in T5 are larger in scale
than other districts, providing larger roof areas for PV, including flat roofs. Shared parking areas
offer space for larger PV installations which will be privately managed. Overall, T5 is an
important component of the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan, and a key cultural asset to Montava
and the City.
(b) The uses comply with applicable LUC provisions regarding the natural environment, including
but not limited to water, air, noise, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands
and the natural functioning of the environment and must continue to comply with each
preliminary development plan submitted pursuant to the PUD Master Plan.
Transect District T5 is a human-centric area, comprised of more hardscape than softscape. T5
includes more intense lighting, LZ3, noise, and little on-site storm water management. Storm
water is managed collectively, fulfilled through shared spaces off-site. The intensity of T5 allows
it to take as little space as possible, which provides for the transition to T4, T3.2, T3.1 and T2
prior to natural areas, limiting its impact.
Storm water management itself is a key design component of Montava, where natural
topographic features define the location and functioning of constructed storm water systems.
Storm water is managed through vegetated channels and distributed open spaces where it is
cleaned and conveyed to regional systems. Some component of the storm water system passes
through each of the transect districts.
(c) The uses are compatible with the other uses proposed for Montava and with the uses
permitted in the zone district or districts adjacent of this transect district.
Within the developed portions of Montava, the transect concept is used to ensure compatibility
between uses across the site by incrementally transitioning intensity of use from lower intensity
districts, T2 and T3.1, through the medium intensity district of T3.2, to the higher intensity
districts of T4 and T5. The transect directs changes in use intensity, changes in building intensity,
changes in intensity of impervious surfaces and landscaping, changes in hardness/softness of
materials, and changes in lighting, all components of compatibility.
Transect District T5 is the highest intensity district, fully mixed-use. It fulfills the goals of mixed-
use commercial and employment areas envisioned in the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. T5 is
Montava Development Standards
21 of 122
buffered from lower intensity residential uses by T4, ensuring compatibility. The location of T5
supports the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan’s Community Commercial and Employment core,
providing a compatible use with future development south of Mountain Vista. Its location along
Mountain Vista Drive is also supportive of the capacity of the roadway, its impact on adjacent
uses, and the enhanced transportation corridor designation.
(d) The uses are appropriate for this transect district within the PUD Mast Plan.
Transect District T5 is the primary mixed-use commercial and employment component of
Montava, supporting the form envisioned in the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. T5 is closely
related to the uses and intensities of the existing E zone. It is located along the most intensive
arterial roadways in the area, and their intersections.
(S) - Natural Areas and Stormwater Special District

forth in Sections 4.29 (A) and (B) and the principles and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans and policies. See Subsections 2.2.A and
2.2.B and Chapter 10 of the Project Design Narrative.
In addition, the (S) - Natural Areas and Stormwater Special District is designed to combine
significant areas of off-site stormwater management with natural areas to create a lasting
amenity that protects wildlife corridors. While the (S) District is generally located along the
Montava Development Standards
22 of 122
Cooper Slough, Montava’s design incorporates key trail connections throughout the
community which extend the impact of the natural area. Along the transect, this natural area
district provides a respite from development. Within the (S) District, development is severely
limited, focused on providing public amenities along with regional storm water management.
This district provides an amenity to Montava as well as the City as a whole, expanding natural
areas protection and connecting trail systems.
(b) The uses comply with applicable LUC provisions regarding the natural environment, including
but not limited to water, air, noise, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands
and the natural functioning of the environment and must continue to comply with each
preliminary development plan submitted pursuant to the PUD Master Plan.
The (S) - Natural Areas and Stormwater Special District assists surrounding areas and portions
of Montava with storm water compliance. Severely limited in development, the district
provides a respite from noise and light for wildlife and large areas for vegetation.
(c) The uses ae compatible with the other uses proposed for Montava and with the uses
permitted in the zone district or districts adjacent to this district.
Within the developed portions of Montava, the transect [I do not know what to use here if this
is a District because I do not know if “District concept” makes sense.]concept is used to ensure
compatibility between uses across the site by incrementally transitioning intensity of use from
lower intensity districts, T2 and T3.1, through the medium intensity district of T3.2, to the higher
intensity districts, T4 and T5. The transect directs changes in use intensity, changes in building
intensity, changes in intensity of impervious surfaces and landscaping, changes in
hardness/softness of materials, and changes in lighting, all components of compatibility.
The (S) - Natural Areas and Stormwater Special District provides the lowest intensity of land use
in the form of natural lands. This district provides amenities to adjacent districts.
(d) The uses ae appropriate for the district within the PUD Master Plan.
The (S) - Natural Areas and Stormwater Special District is necessary for managing off-site storm
water in the Cooper Slough, and storm water produced through the development. Its location
follows pre-existing water flows, which also serves to buffer new development from adjacent
industrial uses.
(I) - Industrial and Employment Special District
There is one (1) Land Use Code zone district (I) underlying the (I) - Industrial and Employment Special

In addition, the (I) - Industrial and Employment Special District continues and expands upon
existing zoning and uses envisioned in the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan. The existing zoning is
industrial while the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan envisioned employment. The I - Industrial and
Employment Special District allows for both conditions as the market demands. Retaining both
use possibilities diversifies the overall uses within Montava. Requirements for this district are as
set forth in the LUC.
(b) The uses comply with applicable LUC provisions regarding the natural environment, including

Request for Modified Densities
Section 4.29(G)(1) allows for the modification of densities set forth in the LUC as part of the Montava
PUD Master Plan. Therefore, the Applicant proposes to modify all LUC requirements related to density
in Article 3 and in Division 4.5 - Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District (L-M-N), Division 4.27 -
Employment District (E) and Division 4.28 - Industrial District (I) of Article 4 of the Land Use Code by the
approval of the densities proposed in this Chapter 3.
Description of Modified Densities
The proposed densities below are calculated for each anticipated development phase of Montava. The
proposed densities represent estimates of the minimum and maximum numbers of dwelling units per
net developable area per phase, with net developable area estimated to be approximately sixty to
seventy percent (60-70%) of the gross acreage of each phase. Net developable area will be calculated
per current LUC definition for same. Note that the portions of each development phase that are located
in the Industrial & Employment District or in the T2 Rural / Farm Transect are excluded from the phase
size and the density calculations for that phase, since the developed uses will be primarily
nonresidential. Accessory dwelling units are not counted in the calculations of minimum and/or
maximum densities. For informational purposes, this type of dwelling unit is estimated to add additional
density at the rate specified in Table 3-1.1.
The boundaries of the phases identified in Table 3.1-1 are generally depicted on the Development
Phasing Plan shown below. The Applicant anticipates that development phase boundaries may be
adjusted over the 25 to 30-year build out of Montava, generally pursuant to minor modifications of the
Development Phasing Plan.
Density by Phase
3.1.1. Each development phase in Montava shall have the density specified in Table 3-
1.1 and the calculations therefor shall be subject to the following:
a. Industrial portions of each phase are not included in the phase size or density
calculations. Industrial areas do not include density limitations.
b. Transect District T2 portions of each phase are not included in the phase size or
density calculations. T2 is agricultural in nature and falls well below density
thresholds.
c. Phase size is an estimate following graphic phase boundaries. It is expected
that the actual phase size for an individual project development plan within the
PUD Master Plan area may vary from the size show on Table 3.1-1, which
generally will require a minor modification.
3.1.2. Density is calculated as the total number of dwelling units divided by the net
developable area of each phase, including lots and alleys, and excluding streets
and open spaces.
Montava Development Standards
26 of 122
a. Net developable area is estimated as 60% of the gross area of each phase but
each phase submittal will be based on the actual density calculation.
b. Accessory dwelling units are estimated to add additional density at the rate
specified in Table 3-1.1, however, these dwelling units are not counted in the
calculations of density.

Justification for Density Modifications
There are four LUC criteria for modification of densities in LUC Sections 4.29(G)(a) through (d). As
required by Section 4.29(G)(a), the modified densities in this Chapter 3 are consistent with the purposes
and advance the objectives of the PUD Overlay as described in LUC Sections 4.29 (A) and (B); please see
the explanation in Chapter 2.2 of the Project Design Narrative. The modified densities are also
consistent with numerous principles and policies of the City adopted plans and policies as required by
Section 4.29(G)(d). See the list of such principles and policies set forth in Chapter 10 of the Project
Design Narrative.
As required by Sections 4.29(G)(b) and (c),such modified densities significantly advance and are
necessary for the achievement of the development objectives of Montava as described in Chapter 2 of
the Project Design Narrative. Montava’s neighborhoods range in density similar to the range described
by the Land Use Code categories of Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District (L-M-N), Medium
Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District (M-M-N), and High Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District
(H-M-N). The layout of neighborhoods and Commercial Centers is also similar to that anticipated by the
LUC’s mixed-use districts, with low density neighborhoods clustered around medium and high-density
neighborhoods, centered on community commercial. Current zoning of the site includes districts L-M-N,
which has a maximum density of 12 du/ac and minimum density of 5 du/ac, and zone districts E and I,
Montava Development Standards
28 of 122
which do not have maximum or minimum density standards. Montava’s arrangement of neighborhoods,
which is directly supportive of the LUC’s mixed-use districts intent, follows boundaries that differ from
the underlying zoning. Overall, the neighborhoods layout supports the minimum density goals of
efficient use of land, while the site in general is not significantly encumbered by maximum density
restrictions.
The density modifications requested are designed to align allowable densities with the neighborhood
structure of Montava, which differs from the underlying zoning. Respecting existing adjacent
development, those neighborhoods in Montava nearest existing development are assigned a density
range that is similar to existing L-M-N zoning in those areas. In the remaining neighborhoods of
Montava, density requests are designed to implement low, medium, and high density mixed-use,
clustered in the format anticipated by the LUC’s mixed-use districts intent. The densities described in
the request reflect a wide range of housing types in each neighborhood, a standard which exists in the
LUC’s L-M-N zone, but not in the other mixed-use districts. Implementing varied housing types and uses
in each neighborhood leads to greater diversification in support of the intent of mixed-use.
In addition to base density, the request includes consideration for additional density provided by
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). ADUs support many City goals, including more efficient use of land and
affordable housing. However the density standards in the LUC do not currently account for ADUs,
particularly in the L-M-N zone which has maximum density restrictions. Interestingly, it is in the low
intensity mixed-use condition that ADUs have the most potential, where there is a higher prevalence of
larger lots and potential for detached or semi-detached garages. The request provides density increases
commensurate with each area’s potential for including Accessory Dwelling Units.

Chapter 4 –––– Development Standards
Request for Modified Development Standards
Section 4.29(G)(1) allows for the modification of development standards set forth in the LUC as part of
the Montava PUD Master Plan. Therefore, the Applicant proposes to modify all LUC requirements in
Article 3 and in Division 4.5 - Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District (L-M-N), Division 4.27 -
Employment District (E) and Division 4.28 - Industrial District (I) of Article 4 of the Land Use Code which
are related to the subject matter of this Chapter 4 by the approval of the development standards
proposed in this Chapter 4.
Description of Modified Development Standards
The development standards of this Chapter 4 included standards related to the following: Lots and
Buildings (lot size and coverage, setbacks, height, building orientation and frontage, shopfronts, fences
and walls, and lighting); Parking (vehicular and bicycle location, access and landscaping); Landscaping
(materials and plant lists); Signage (type, number and area); Architecture; and Civic Space (location, size
and programming).
Compliance with Criteria of LUC 4.29(G)(3)
There are four LUC criteria for modification of development standards in LUC Sections 4.29(G)(a)
through (d). As required by Section 4.29(G)(a), the modified development standards in this Chapter 4
are consistent with the purposes and advance the objectives of the PUD Overlay as described in LUC
Sections 4.29 (A) and (B); see the explanation in Chapter 2.2 of the Project Design Narrative. The
modified development standards are also consistent with numerous principles and policies of the City
adopted plans and policies as required by Section 4.29(G)(d). See the list of such principles and policies
in Chapter 10 of the Project Design Narrative,
Following each subsection of this Chapter 4 is an in-depth explanation of how such modified
development standards advance and are necessary for the achievement of the development objectives
of Montava , as required by Sections 4.29(G)(b) and (c), which development objectives are more
generally described in Chapter 2 of the Project Design Narrative.

Justification for Modifications of Lots and Building Standards
As required by LUC Sections 4.29(G)(b) and (c), following is an in-depth explanation of how the modified
development standards for Lots and Buildings advance and are necessary for the achievement of the development
objectives of Montava.
Standards for lots and buildings encompass the majority of design and development standards for Montava. These
are designed to ensure a very predictable development outcome among a variety of buildings and over a long
development horizon. Primarily these standards are concerned with where buildings are located on each lot,
where parking is located, the orientation of the building, the design of building facades, and the design of the
Montava Development Standards
51 of 122
space between building facades and sidewalks. While a number of these requirements exist in the LUC, they
anticipate a single character of neighborhood space. Montava’s standards coordinate the elements mentioned
above and discussed below with the Transect, creating a series of environments with different characters, from
very urban to natural. Creating a variety of characters, a diversity of feeling, is necessary across a site as large as
Montava. The variety of overall district character is important in providing prospective residents with options to fit
their personal preferences, and residents and neighbors with the ability to walk into areas that feel different from
where their house is located. When coordinated carefully with the Transect, the character of each district also
assists in navigating the community. People intuit the relationship between an increase in character intensity and
the location of commercial districts. Similarly they intuit the relationship between a decrease in character intensity
and the location of natural areas.
Lot and building standards provide controls across a series of specific development standard topics as listed below.
In each case a single standard or a standard based upon use is incompatible with Montava’s design intent, which
seeks to create a variety of different community character experiences throughout the community.
Lot Size
Lot size standards set minimum and maximum thresholds based on the width and depth of lots, and maximum lot
areas in mixed-use districts where large lots with multiple buildings are more prevalent. The lot size standards
affect the character of the district by influencing the size of buildings and spacing between buildings. Housing in
T3.1 consists of larger buildings on larger lots than T3.2. Housing and other uses in T4 typically consist of smaller
buildings that are taller as a result. In T5, there are allowances for shallow lots to accommodate liner buildings.
Lot Occupation and Lot Coverage
Overall district feel is significantly affected by how much of a lot is taken up by buildings and covered structures
and impervious surfaces. In T5, buildings may take up nearly their entire lot, which is likely to be fully paved in
unbuilt areas. This reflects a condition like downtown. However, in T3.1, a significant portion of each lot should be
unbuilt and left pervious, relating to the adjacent natural areas. T3.2 and T4 areas are steps in-between, where
buildings and impervious surfaces occupy an increasing portion of their lots.
Building Setbacks
The distance that buildings are set back from sidewalks and from each other is a key component affecting
community character. In T5, buildings are set very close to sidewalks, creating a main street or downtown district
character. In T3.1, buildings are set much further back from sidewalks and further from each other, signaling
adjacency to natural areas. T3.2 and T4 areas are steps in-between, where buildings are located closer to each
other and the street, and where buildings can begin to be attached.
Building Height
Building height variety across the community is important to signal the location of more intense and less intense
character and activity. In T5, buildings should be taller, while in T3 they should be shorter, with T4 in between. The
heights in Montava’s development standards are in line with the LUC’s three mixed-use district intensities,
organized by transect rather than by neighborhood. In Montava, each neighborhood is constructed of multiple
transect districts, which results in significant local variety and diversity across the site.
Montava Development Standards
52 of 122
Building Orientation
Building should generally be oriented parallel to their front lot line, and tangent to a lot line that is curved. This
simple rule is important to ensure buildings face onto sidewalks and support active streets. An exception is
provided for housing that faces onto shared green spaces, a feature used throughout Montava, where the green
space may technically be located at a side lot line.
Housing Model Variety
Montava’s use of the transect and neighborhood design based upon a mix of multiple transects and districts [How
does Matt want to deal with this?]achieves the goals of housing model variety requirements. Additionally, the
Montava design review process will work with builders to orchestrate the design of each street. However in many
cases, such as townhouses and small cottages on shared greens, a series of the same housing model is likely to
located in a row. The design review process will ensure that meaningful facade variation is provided in such cases.
Where lots are narrow, modifications to housing models don’t create any meaningful differences along the street
facade. The combination between transect districts and design review will ensure diversity and variety of
character.
Building and Lot Frontages
Control of building and lot frontages is one of the most critical aspects affecting the design intent of Montava. Like
other development standards, frontage standards are varied according to the transect, which also coordinates
frontage requirements with lot size, building height, and building setback. Montava’s frontage requirements
encompass a number of building design standards throughout the LUC. Frontage standards regulate the design of
the entire space between the sidewalk and building facades, including facade projections, landscaping and
hardscape, fencing, frontage occupation, facade glazing, and special conditions such as forecourts, door yards, and
cottage courts. Facade projection standards include requirements for porches, stoops, galleries, arcades, and
shopfronts. In T5, frontages are generally paved without fencing or walls, permitting access to shopfronts and
common building entries. Buildings are required to provide shopfronts for each tenant space and along a minimum
percentage of facade length, restricting blank walls. In T3, frontages are landscaped with trees, and may include
fencing. Each standard is coordinated to create a predictable character for the district.
Yards
Yards are controlled by a combination of frontage standards and lot occupation and coverage standards. Frontage
standards control the frontage yard, which is yard space located between building facades and sidewalks. Lot
occupation and coverage standards ensure that yard space is provided in T3 and T4, and that it is landscaped
commensurate with the intensity of the district.
Shopfront Design
Shopfront design guidelines are included in Montava’s development standards, encouraging facade design in the
town center to follow well established rules including the use of clear glass, the division of facades, and providing
for appropriate locations for signage. Poor shopfront design can lead to the degradation of main street vitality.
However, shopfront design is evolving, and the standards are specifically written as guidelines to provide room for
innovation.
Montava Development Standards
53 of 122
Fencing and Walls
The design, materials, and height of fencing and walls significantly influences district character. Like many others,
this set of design standards varies by Transect district. In T5, fencing is not permitted along streets, however
fencing along parking lots and between properties should be tall and masonry or metal. In T3, fencing should be
primarily wood, low along frontages and sufficiently tall for privacy between properties. Fencing and wall
standards are coordinated with frontage standards.
Accessory Dwelling Units
Accessory dwelling unit (ADU) standards are necessary to ensure ADUs are limited in size and designed in
coordination with the primary building.
Solar Orientation
Development standards affecting solar orientation are located between site and building standards and
architectural character standards. These account for the primarily southwest to northeast orientation of streets in
Montava, aligned with Long’s Peak. Sufficient solar PV access is achieved through the design of roofs, capturing SE
and SW light. Rooftop design must account for different types of housing, such as townhouses that slope towards
the front of the lot and small single family housing which slope towards the side of the lot. In all cases, lot
orientation provides for SE and SW exposure. Solar standards require that those roof portions with best exposure
be designed to accommodate PV systems, including the location of plumbing vents and other roof penetrations.
Standards also require that exposure be considered in the design of floor plans, to maximize light access into
dwellings. In addition to solar orientation and PV access, Montava will be built to Net Zero Ready Home standards,
reducing the amount of PV necessary to achieve net zero.
Exterior Lighting
Site and exterior light development standards are designed to implement Dark Sky recommendations across the
community. Dark Sky’s model ordinance provides for a series of standards coordinated with the intensity of
development. This system integrates directly with the Transect, where T3 implements LZ1, T4 implements LZ2,
and T5 implements LZ3. The exterior light standards are derived from the model ordinance, coordinated with the
Transect. This ensures that each district in Montava plays its part in protecting dark skies, as is appropriate to the
intensity of use and development. Montava’s design in coordination with exterior light standards contributes to
light protection in natural areas by locating T5 / LZ3 far from natural areas and transitioning in development and
light zone intensity down to T3 / LZ1 adjacent to natural areas, as envisioned by Dark Sky recommendations.

Justification for Modifications of Parking Standards
As required by LUC Sections 4.29(G)(b) and (c), following is an in-depth explanation of how the modified
development standards for Parking advance and are necessary for the achievement of the development objectives
of Montava.
Overall, Montava’s parking strategies are aligned with LUC goals, however the ownership model and proximity of
building uses in Montava are not what the LUC expects in typical conditions. Within Montava’s medium and low
intensity residential districts, the approach to parking is straightforward. The parking standards require adequate
parking, amounting mainly to a simplification in comparison to LUC standards. Many LUC standards associated
with parking in medium and low intensity residential areas are addressed in Section 4.1 on Lots and Buildings,
which includes site design requirements concerning the location of parking in relationship to streets and buildings.
This parking standards section includes a few supplemental standards, beyond minimum required parking,
concerning garage orientation in low intensity districts, access to parking, and driveway size limitations.
Montava’s parking strategy within the Town Center differs significantly from the LUC’s expectations in typical
development conditions. The LUC contemplates shared parking between multiple uses, but it doesn’t provide
standards for achieving this. Montava’s design is based upon District-managed shared parking lots and on-street
parking in the Town Center. Rather than providing parking on an individual basis for each building or use, that
parking is leased through the District. As a result the district can benefit from shared parking, using a park-once
strategy. Being a mixed-use Town Center, individual properties may also benefit from shared parking if they
choose to provide their own parking rather than working with the District.
The shared parking strategy requires a different approach to parking requirements where shared parking is the
rule rather than the exception. Each land use requires a minimum number of parking spaces, which is based on the
LUC requirements by use category. Shared parking is then a calculation applied across users of a shared parking lot,
eliminating space requirements where the peak usage time differs between nearby land uses. [Is there an example
of how this calculation works or a more specific description?]This calculation is based upon research by the Urban
Land Institute. Prior to the ULI study, DPZ has utilized a more rudimentary form of shared parking for nearly 20
years that has also performed well.
The bicycle parking component is also modified from the LUC’s approach given the design strategy for Montava.
Within the Town Center, on-street bicycle racks will be provided as part of the streetscape design, with all
buildings facing onto local commercial streets with wide sidewalks. In these areas, the most convenient parking for
cyclists is near bike lanes and the front door of businesses. A metric of on-street bicycle parking has been added as
a component of the Montava parking standards to accommodate this situation. Bicycle parking in these conditions
is primarily a street furniture concern of the District, like shared parking, not one of individual property owners. In
multi-family, mixed-use, and office contexts enclosed bicycle storage is required as generally specified in the LUC.
The Montava parking standards are designed to accommodate shared parking and on-street parking for vehicles
and bicycles, managed by the District, while respecting the LUC’s minimum parking requirements by use.

Justification for Private Lot Landscaping Standards
As required by LUC Sections 4.29(G)(b) and (c), following is an in-depth explanation of how the modified
development standards for Private Lot Landscaping advance and are necessary for the achievement of the
development objectives of Montava.
Montava coordinates landscaping and open spaces in a form that differs from the LUC due to expectations of
development type, scale, and form. In residential areas, the LUC has limited landscape requirements, yet some are
incompatible with the variety of building setbacks in Montava. In non-residential areas, the LUC generally expects
conventional strip development and works to make that form of development conform to community
expectations. Montava, on the other hand, aims to produce a main street and district that is reflexive of many
elements of downtown through development control in the section on Lots and Buildings. The overall district
design allocates plazas, passages, squares, and compact greens throughout the Town Center as collective civic
space, rather than allocating open space on an individual property basis which would reduce community-accessible
civic space. Parking lots, a major focus of landscape requirements, are required to be oriented behind buildings
with respect to streets and they are managed collectively in Montava, aimed at being hidden and efficient.
PUD Master Plan Standards
44 | P a g e M o n t a v a P U D M a s t e r P l a n
Montava’s landscape standards expect development in the form required by the development standards, and
focus on issues specific to the form and character of buildings and the community as a whole.
The Montava building and landscape development standards focus closely on the design of the space between
buildings and sidewalks, and their landscape design by land use context as set forth by the Transect. This
coordinates landscaping with the size of setback and with the anticipated facade projections like porches and
stoops. In more intensive areas like T5, building setbacks are very shallow and should be paved as an extension of
sidewalks. In less intensive areas like T3, building setbacks are deeper and should be landscaped, including
requiring trees. Between frontage landscaping, street trees, natural areas, and civic space within Montava, the
development will contribute to the urban tree canopy that the LUC hopes to protect and re-establish. Landscape
materials in Montava’s development standards are also coordinated by the Transect to ensure that species
selected in areas of greater activity are hardier, while also protecting LUC species diversity goals.

Justification for Signage Standards
As required by LUC Sections 4.29(G)(b) and (c), following is an in-depth explanation of how the modified
development standards for Signage advance and are necessary for the achievement of the development objectives
of Montava.
Like any community, signage regulation is extremely important to the success of Montava. TCurrent City sign
regulations cover a very broad range of sign types and conditions, many of which are not desirable in Montava.
The new signage standards for Montava are designed to enable successful business in the Town Center area and
eliminate sign types and size sizes that would be nuisances in the community’s design context. The Town Center of
Montava is similar to the Downtown District of Fort Collins, where signage location on buildings, sizing, and
illumination are important controls to direct an orderly, high quality, and relatively uniform appearance.
The method of limiting total signage per building in the Montava sign standards is different from the City’s
regulations which approaches limits by restricting the overall total signage area on a building. The Montava sign
standards approach limits by restricting the number of each type of sign by site, building, or tenant, as appropriate
to the type of sign. Using this approach, wall, window, projecting, and hanging signs are restricted in number on a
per-tenant basis. If a building has five tenants in it, each tenant is permitted to have their own signage. Using the
City’s method, the signage that one tenant erects has an impact on all other tenants of a building. Other signs, like
building signs and corner signs, are restricted on a per building basis because they apply to the scale of a building.
And similarly, yard signs and ground signs are limited on a per lot basis because they are located on lots, not
buildings. Montava’s sign standards are designed specifically to enable traditional mixed-use main street
conditions where buildings have multiple tenants on the ground floor as well as floors above. Each sign type has a
maximum sign area and many have maximum copy size, ensuring the total signage is reasonably controlled. But
the total amount of signage is not limited as this may permit excessive signage in some conditions and not permit
sufficient signage in others.

4.5. Architectural Character
4.5.1. BUILDING MATERIALS
a. Where multiple exterior materials are used on a single building, they may only be
combined through horizontal transitions, with the heavier material below.
i. Building attachments and projections may differ in material from the building
volume, with the attachment or projection being of a lighter material, except for
chimneys where the projection may be of a heavier material.
b. Vinyl siding must imitate wood in size, thickness, profile, and joining.
c. Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (E.I.F.S.) are prohibited.
d. All exposed exterior wood must be painted or stained.
4.5.2. OPENINGS
a. All openings, including porches, galleries, doors, and windows must be vertical or square in
proportion. Horizontal openings may be provided by combining multiple vertical or square
openings together.
b. Doors and windows that operate as sliders are prohibited along facades facing front or
side street lot lines.
c. Where exterior shutters are installed, they must be operable, and sized and oriented to fit
the entire opening when closed.
4.5.3. FOUNDATIONS
a. Any structure or building projection on a raised foundation with piers must have skirting
or wood lattice screening between piers.
4.5.4. SOLAR ORIENTATION
a. Where practical, roofs should be designed to provide generally unobstructed roof surfaces
facing south, south-east, or south-west, both in the overall roof form and in the location of
ventilation stacks, antennae, and other rooftop equipment and openings.
b. Building volumes and openings should be oriented to capture south, south-east, and
south-western light.
4.5.5. MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND REFUSE STORAGE
a. Building mechanical equipment, at or above ground level, and refuse storage must not be
visible from front or side street lot lines.
4.5.6. OUTBUILDINGS
a. Outbuildings, storage structures, and sheds should match the wall and roof style, color,
and material of the primary dwelling.
Justification for Architectural Character Standards
As required by LUC Sections 4.29(G)(b) and (c), following is an in-depth explanation of how the modified
development standards for Architectural Character advance and are necessary for the achievement of the
development objectives of Montava.
Building design within Montava is coordinated among a number of standards in Section 4.1 of the PUD Master Plan
standards regarding Lots and Buildings, and supplemented with the Architectural Character controls of this Section
4.5, addressing general issues of architectural design. Current LUC standards concerning character are aimed at
minimizing the impact of suburban development patterns and buildings by ensuring variety within a single
PUD Master Plan Standards
56 | P a g e M o n t a v a P U D M a s t e r P l a n
structure, particularly in commercial and multi-family areas. Development within Montava differs from the LUC’s
expectations as it is oriented towards LUC goals at its core, and based upon character, not style, as a community-
wide element of design.
Due to the scale of Montava, specific stylistic details and materials may change by neighborhood. At the overall
PUD Master Plan level, architectural character standards address broad but common details to be further
supplemented. This Architectural Character chapter deals with basic material prohibitions, the combination of
materials, the shape of openings, orientation of building shape for solar access, the location of mechanical systems
and refuse storage, and outbuilding design. This set of foundational standards are embedded [?]in Section 4.1 of
the PUD Master Plan Standards regarding Lots and Buildings, which ensures that building are oriented to face
streets and open spaces, that projection into yards and on facade (such as porches and stoops), are usable and
coordinated, that fencing is appropriate in scale and materials, that a minimum amount of doors and windows is
provided along streets, and that shopfronts are well designed. Together these ensure an overall harmony among
buildings within Montava, yet allow for more specific architectural detail to be determined by phase.

4.6. Civic Space
4.6.1. CIVIC SPACE TYPES
a. A civic space type must be selected for all parks and recreation, urban agriculture, and
open lands provided within T3.1, T3.2, T4, and T5, as illustrated in Table 4.6.1-1.
b. Civic space types must be configured according to Table 4.6.1-2, Table 4.6.1-3, and as
follows:
i. The minimum dimension must be maintained throughout the civic space;
ii. For triangular spaces, proportion is the ratio of the shortest edge length to the
longest edge length;
iii. For irregular spaces, proportion is measured using an inscribed rectangle;
iv. Building coverage includes covered and enclosed structures;
v. Required landscaping excludes stormwater management areas;
vi. Stormwater management may be integrated into civic space design where indicated
in Table 4.6.1-3;
vii. Stormwater management areas should be shared use where possible;
viii. Where civic space abuts existing or planned pedestrian or bicycle trails, pedestrian
and bicycle trails must be continued through the civic space.
c. Civic space types must be programmed according to the following:
i. Programming must be selected from Table 4.6.1-4;
ii. Each civic space must include a minimum number of program elements, in addition
to requirement elements, as specified in Table 4.6.1-4.

Justification for Civic Space Standards
As required by LUC Sections 4.29(G)(b) and (c), following is an in-depth explanation of how the modified
development standards for Civic Space advance and are necessary for the achievement of the development
objectives of Montava.
PUD Master Plan Standards
61 | P a g e M o n t a v a P U D M a s t e r P l a n
Parks and open spaces, with the exception of the Community Park, are distributed broadly throughout Montava
and vary in their design and programming. They are connected in a network throughout the community, providing
trails, places for active and passive recreation, and places for gathering in a variety of different land use contexts.
To coordinate civic space use and design with adjacent land uses, the development standards uses a series of
recognizable types, such as plazas, squares, and greens, and relates them to the appropriate land use context. For
instance, in the Town Center, plazas and squares with active programming are appropriate while within lower
intensity neighborhoods, pocket parks and playgrounds are appropriate. Each civic space type has associated size
and proportion requirements to ensure they are right-sized for their context and activities. Distributing and
diversifying these spaces provides greater variety and more frequent access of open spaces to neighborhood
residents, further supporting walkability. These standards are similar to the park requirements of Section 4.4,
modifying them to implement the vision of Montava and ensuring that open spaces are active and diverse in
support of LUC goals.
This modification to standards allows for design innovation by promoting a diversity of types of open spaces. While
large neighborhood parks check the box, they don’t always meet residents’ needs, nor are they sufficiently close to
where they live. Montava’s park system provides for open space activities and access in a more distributed
manner, more frequently throughout the community. The distributed system allows the design of each open space
to be coordinated with surrounding land uses. Additionally, a significant trail system is integrated into the
community’s design, connecting surrounding regional trails and new community assets, providing a public benefit
for both Montava residents and the City as a whole.
The civic space development standards ensure that the open spaces provided are activated to fulfill adequate
public facility needs, while also ensuring that they are diverse in size, location, and design in order to implement
the vision of Montava.

Justification for Definitions
As required by LUC Sections 4.29(G)(b) and (c), following is an explanation of how the modified Definitions advance
and are necessary for the achievement of the development objectives of Montava.
To ensure that Montava’s development standards are properly interpreted, a set of additional definitions is
provided. Three types of terms are included: terms that are unique to Montava are included, terms within the Land
Use Code that are modified for use within Montava, and terms within the Land Use Code we wish to vest with their
current definition. Some terms are similar to LUC terms, such as those relating to lot lines and frontages. These
new definitions are designed to clarify regulations relating to frontage, which also rely upon lot lines to determine
where frontages are located. These development standards focus more heavily on frontage than the LUC,
necessitating new definitions. New use definitions are also included, primarily to ensure that the Farm can fully
function and that agrarian elements can be fully integrated into Montava, as envisioned in the Mountain Vista
Subarea Plan.

abandoned wells. The minimum buffer distances from oil and gas operations are established as 500’
from residential development and 1,000’ from high occupancy building units. Alternative compliance
buffer reduction from plugged and abandoned wells is available for consideration and approval by the
decision maker if specific measures are taken.
The Montava PUD property contains two plugged and abandoned oil wells.
Existing Conditions and Natural Features Plan
The Applicant would like to request an Alternative Compliance buffer reduction to 150’ from the two oil
wells on the Montava property. The oil wells are not operational, have no documented history of active
operations, and have been permanently capped and abandoned. There is no above-ground use or
potential nuisance such as dirt, litter, noise, glare of lights and unsightly buildings or parking areas as
identified in the Purpose of Section 3.8.26 for buffer requirements. Measures are currently being taken
by engineering firm, TRC, to test and document any other adverse impacts such as odor, air pollutants,
hazardous materials or site contamination in conjunction with the Alternative Compliance request. TRC
is also undertaking similar investigations for the two off-site wells. When these measures and testing are
PUD Master Plan Standards
68 | P a g e M o n t a v a P U D M a s t e r P l a n
complete for the two wells on the Montava property, we will share this information as part of the
Alternative Compliance request. These measures will include:
- Site survey, historical research, and/or physical locating techniques to determine the exact
location and extent of the plugged oil wells.
- Documentation of plugging activities, abandonment and any subsequent inspections.
- Soil sampling, including soil gas testing.
- Groundwater sampling.
- Installation of permanent groundwater wells for future site investigations.
- Upon completion of the site investigation and sampling, TRC will provide a written report
verifying that the soil and groundwater samples meet applicable EPA and State residential
regulations and that a reduced buffer would not pose a greater health or safety risk for future
residents or users of the site.
If deficiencies are found and recommended for the reduced buffer, the Applicant will complete
remediation of environmental contamination to background levels and/or will repair or re-plug the
abandoned wells.
In addition, the Applicant will commit to five (5) years of annual soil gas and groundwater monitoring at
the well locations.

RE: Montava PUD – Stormwater Criteria Manual Variance Application Letter
Dear Mr. Boyle,
The following variances are requested from the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual - Draft Version dated
September 2018.
Variance Request No.1:
Per the stormwater criteria manual, Chapter 7 Water Quality, Section 6.0 Low Impact Development (LID), Sub-section
6.1 General Requirements: For single-family residential developments, LID must be placed in tracts or common areas
for ownership and maintenance by HOA. LID systems installed as part of the development requirements shall not be
placed on single-family lots.
It is requested grass swales and grass buffers in side yards between lots or at the front or back of lots adjacent to public
right-of-way count towards LID requirements without easements or HOA involvement. It is requested maintenance be
by the homeowner and not by the HOA to not complicate trespassing and privacy issues.
Variance Request No.2:
Per the stormwater criteria manual, Chapter 7 Water Quality, Section 6.0 Low Impact Development, Sub-section 6.1
General Requirements: LID systems are not allowed to be placed in the public right-of-way to treat runoff from
development sites. Stormwater runoff from development must be treated within the confines of the development and
therefore cannot be treated or placed within a public right-of-way. Stormwater runoff generated within the public
right-of-way is still required to be captured and treated for water quality.
Generally, each of the Montava development sites will be graded to drain towards the adjacent public street. It is most
efficient and effective to combine, treat and convey the runoff from the development site and the runoff generated in
the public street in one LID element. Two parallel systems are not an efficient use of land or maintenance resources.
It is requested to use LID elements to treat both public and private runoff. It is requested these LID elements be allow
partially in the public right-of-way and partially on private property to treat both public and private runoff. It is
envisioned these LID elements may be linear bioretention swales that are located in depressed tree lawns adjacent to
public sidewalks.
Sincerely,
Peter Buckley, PE

RE: Montava PUD – Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) Variance Requests
Dear Mr. Crager,
Variance Request No.1:
The Montava PUD Master Plan includes deviations from the standard street cross-sections as outlined in
Chapter 7 Street Design and Technical Criteria, Figures 7-1F through 7-13F, Street Cross-sections. The
requested deviations to the street cross-sections are to accommodate specific site conditions and the block
patterns envisioned for the Montava project. Exhibits of the proposed street cross-sections are attached to
this letter in support of this variance request.
Variance Request No.2:
The modified street grid within the Montava PUD Master Plan includes some streets that intersect at greater
than 100 degrees. With deliberate access control and design control within sight distance triangles, these
intersections can enhance visibility and intersection safety. The Montava PUD Master Plan requests a
variance to the standards outlined Chapter 8 – 8.2.3 - Angle of Intersection which requires that crossing
roadways should intersect at 90 degrees whenever possible. In no case shall they intersect at less than 80
degrees or more than 100 degrees. Exhibits of the proposed non-standard Intersections are attached to this
letter in support of this variance request.
Sincerely,
Peter Buckley, PE
