Major Amendment – Revisions and Planning Objectives, Dec. 2014
6813 South College Ave., Fort Collins, Co. 80525
Dear Ms. Everette,
Attached are responses to the City Staff review comments of Oct. 17, 2014, for review and approval. City staff
review comments are attached with line item responses. Revised site/landscape Plan and Plat are provided.
Planning Objective narrative and Supplemental information, including the Water District’s Pretreatment
questionnaire are attached for reference.
Planning Objectives – Secondary use within the MMN zone district.
The Heritage in nightclub/lounge & event center an assembly use is proposed to be changed to the adult day
program is our fundamental proposal for the property. Elderhaus Adult Day Program will convert the land
use to a routine daytime business hours operation. The range of Elderhaus Participants will be under the
program guidelines, managed by a trained staff. Program uses and activates are varied including reading, art,
dance/exercise, group interactions, nutrition services and a physical and occupational therapy component
supports the program.
Re-purposing the existing facility to utilize this bucolic setting is a very passive land use that diminishes the
commercial day/night use and provides a well-organized community and regional day use on the property.
Site Lighting
Photos of the existing site lighting is inserted per staff request. The parking lot fixtures have a controlled light
pattern. Pedestrian and accent lighting bollards are globe style fixtures approximately 4 foot tall.

Traffic Operations
Historically the site has been designated as an assembly use. A restaurant/lounge/ event center for over 40
years. The business hours of operation were usually midday – night time hours. This extended into the
weekend utilization as the event center. The site currently has 83 parking spaces.
Elderhaus Adult Day Program proposes a t Change-of-Use for 6813 South College Avenue. The site plan review
criteria has reduced the on-site parking to 73 spaces. The program operations are being modified to 5 days a
week of service. Daily hours of operation are from approximately 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. As an adult day care
service, participants do not generally drive. They are transported privately and utilize program provided
transportation services during the day.
Traffic intensity is significantly reduced. Peak demand is not concentrated during daily operations. Your
assessment and development of the traffic volume estimates is greatly appreciated.
Attached are the current and projected utilization rates from Elderhaus.
