Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery & Self-Storage Facility
City Plan Principles & Policies
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery & Self-Storage Project Development Plan (PDP) is
supported by the following City Plan Principles and Policies as found in City Plan
Fort Collins adopted February 15, 2011.
The Principles and Policies fostered by this proposed development are as follows:
ECONOMIC HEALTH
Principle EH 1: The City will pursue development of a vibrant and resilient economy that
reflects the values of our unique community in a changing world.
Policy EH 1.1 – Support Job Creation
Support the enhancement of the community’s economic base and job creation by focusing on retention,
expansion, incubation, and recruitment efforts that bring jobs and import income or dollars to the
community, particularly businesses in the adopted Target Industry Clusters.
Principle EH 2: The City will support the growth of the innovation economy to set
the stage for business development, job creation, and a thriving entrepreneurial
environment.
Policy EH 2.1 – Support Targeted Industry Clusters
Actively support job creation within the five adopted Targeted Industry Clusters, including Clean Energy,
Water Innovation, Bioscience, Technology, and Uniquely Fort Collins. Periodically re-evaluate the
adopted Targeted Industry Clusters for relevance, success, and contribution to economic health and
adjust as needed.
Policy EH 2.2 – Support an Innovative Economy
Support a regional innovation ecosystem that fuels business development and job creation by leveraging
local assets including human capital, research institutions, industrial base, physical infrastructure, and
quality of life.
Policy EH 2.3 – Develop Economic Partnerships
Collaborate with the business community, various business organizations, educational institutions (e.g.,
Front Range Community College), regional research and development institutions (e.g., Colorado State
University, Center For Disease Control), and economic development organizations (e.g., Fort Collins
Area Chamber, Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation, Larimer County Workforce
Center) to encourage and support a healthy economy, to provide employment opportunities, increase
private investment, and improve the quality of life for Fort Collins residents.
The Craft Brewery will employ local Brewers and Hospitality Professionals and serve as a welcomed
addition to the “Cluster” of Craft Breweries located in the Northeast quadrant of the City. The
Breweries in this area represents a Target Industry Cluster that is Uniquely Fort Collins. It is expected
that the Brewery will employ approximately 8 -12 Brewers and Brew Staff as well as 10 - 12 Hospitality
Professional. The Brewery will also serve as a magnet for educational collaboration with Colorado State
φ
University and supporting the University’s growing Fermentology Science, Beverage Management and
Hospitality majors. The Brewery will help to support and provide employment opportunities and
Professional Internship programs that will encourage and support a health and vibrant brewing business
climate in Fort Collins.
Principle EH 3: The City will support local, unique, and creative businesses.
Policy EH 3.1 – Support Programs Emphasizing Local Business
Work with the local business community to ensure economic development strategies and plans are
identified to improve economic health. Support programs such as “Be Local” Northern Colorado and
Shop Fort Collins First. "Be Local" supports independent businesses, advocates for a resilient
community, and works collaboratively to serve Northern Colorado. The Shop Fort Collins First
program encourages residents to spend retail dollars locally before looking elsewhere for goods and
services.
The Lemay Avenue Self-Storage Facility is a much needed service for the Fort Collins Community. The
lack of sufficient Self-Storage rental space requires that Fort Collins residences travel outside the City in
order to find storage rental opportunities. It is expected that the current Economic Leakage which Fort
Collins is currently experiencing in the Self-Storage market place will be reversed by the Lemay Avenue
Self-Storage development.
Policy EH 3.2 – Define and Support the Uniquely Fort Collins Cluster
Identify businesses and professions that are unique to Fort Collins and highlight those opportunities to
drive economic development in the city.
Policy EH 3.4 – Support the Brewing Industry
Identify opportunities to support the local brewing industry and help to further establish the community
as a nationally recognized craft brewing destination.
The Craft Brewery has been designed in both Scale and Scope to help attract local and emerging
brewers from Fort Collins Own Home Brewing Industry.
Principle EH 4: The City will encourage the redevelopment of strategic areas within the
community as defined in the Community and Neighborhood Livability and Neighborhood
Principles and Policies.
Policy EH 4.1 –Prioritize Targeted Redevelopment Areas
Create and utilize strategies and plans, as described in the Community and Neighborhood Livability and
Neighborhood chapter’s Infill and Redevelopment section, to support redevelopment areas and prevent
areas from becoming blighted. The Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas (depicted on Figure LIV 1 in
the Community and Neighborhood Livability chapter) shall be a priority for future development, capital
investment, and public incentives.
Policy EH 4.2 – Reduce Barriers to Infill Development and Redevelopment
Develop new policies and modify current policies, procedures, and practices to reduce and resolve
barriers to Infill development and redevelopment. Emphasize new policies and modifications to existing
policies that support a sustainable, flexible, and predictable approach to infill development and
redevelopment.
χ
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery & Self-Storage is within the City’s Downtown Development Area
boundary and will be a “Catalyst” development for the area of the City spurring redevelopment of other
industrial property throughout the Buckingham Neighborhood.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Policy ENV 5.2 – Utilize Solar Access
Protect unobstructed sunlight in planning and development processes to promote the use of solar
energy.
Policy ENV 5.4 – Support Renewable Energy in New Development
Support the use of renewable energy resources in the layout and construction of new development.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facility was intentional in the sighting of buildings in
order to maximize solar access and natural day-lighting to the Brew House, Community Tap Room,
outdoor patios and Biergarten areas. In addition the Self-Storage buildings have been oriented on the
site so as to allow for the addition of roof mounted solar panels that may be added by the developer in
the future. Additionally the building orientation allows for optimal solar access to the storage site in
order to provide natural melting of snow and ice during winter months.
Policy ENV 8.3 – Employ a Citywide Approach
Focus on improving air pollution by reducing total citywide emissions over the long-term and assuring
that localized air pollution exposures conform to adopted health standards.
Policy ENV 8.4 – Coordinate Regionally
Work with local and regional partners to improve air quality, recognizing that air pollution does not
follow jurisdictional boundaries (e.g., regional haze, ozone).
Policy ENV 8.5 – Focus on Sources
Rather than addressing pollutants individually, reduce air pollution by developing strategies that focus on
key sources of air pollution (i.e., on-road, non-road, commercial and industrial, and residential),
recognizing that multiple pollutant reductions can be achieved this way.
Policy ENV 8.6 – Prevent Pollution
Promote prevention of air pollution at its source as the highest priority approach in reducing air
pollution emissions.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facility will encourage the use of alternative and multi
modal transportation and will capitalize on the existing Brewery Tourists trade visiting the local Brewery
Cluster located in this quadrant of the City. Additionally by providing new, safe and high tech Self-
Storage rental space in Fort Collins the residents of Fort Collins will no longer be required to travel
outside the City limits to find Self-Storage rental space thus reducing moving and storage vehicle travel
and pollution.
Policy ENV 9.1 – Promote Alternative and Efficient Transportation Fuels and Vehicles
Promote alternative and efficient transportation fuels and vehicles that improve air quality. Invest in
infrastructure throughout the City to support alternative fuel vehicles and promote the use of such
vehicles through education and incentives.
ψ
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facility will promote the use of alternative vehicles by
offering a complementary Electric Vehicle fueling station located on-site for visitor to use. Additionally
the Self-Storage Facility will make available to its tenants the rental of an Alternative Fuel Moving Van.
Principle ENV 14: The City will apply the US Environmental Protection Agency’s
integrated “hierarchy” of waste management to help protect all environmental resources
including air, soil, and water using source reduction as the primary approach, followed in
order by reuse, recycling/composting energy recovery using emerging pollution-free
technology, and landfill disposal (where methane gas capture is employed) as a final resort.
Policy ENV 14.1 – Divert Waste
Identify and develop viable, sustainable strategies designed to accelerate the community’s ability to meet
or surpass the adopted goal of diverting 50% of the community’s waste stream from disposal in landfills.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery will separate waste and provide proper recycling/composting
opportunities for the public to use. Additionally spent grain for the brewing process will be
recycled and used by the local agricultural industry in both farming and ranching activities.
Spent grain, the leftover malt and adjuncts after the mash has extracted most of the sugars,
proteins, and nutrients, can constitute as much as 85 percent of a brewery’s total by-product.
Lemay Craft brewery will initiate innovative ways to prevent their spent grain from going to
waste. While agricultural uses of spent grain is predominantly used for compost or feed there
are many new revolutionary uses, including powering an entire brew house. Alternative uses of
spent grain underscore the Craft Brewing Community’s commitment to creating a sustainable
product that does not linger in our landfills.
Policy ENV 15.1 – Encourage Composting
Divert organic material from landfill disposal and put it to a beneficial secondary use as compost, which
increases water conservation, adds nutritional value, and provides carbon dioxide storage capacity
(carbon sink) when applied to soil, or for generating alternative sources of energy.
See comments above, 14.1
Policy ENV 15.2 – Generate Energy
After recyclable, compostable, and reusable marketable materials have been removed, utilize the
remainder of the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream as a feedstock for energy production using newly
emerging technology
See comments above, 14.1
Policy ENV 15.4 – Enhance the Economy
Consider potential and existing recycling and waste recovery activities as opportunities to enhance local
revenue generation and create jobs. Market conditions for recycling, composting and reuse industries
and educate the public about source reduction and recycling.
See comments above, 14.1
Policy ENV 19.2 – Pursue Low Impact Development
Pursue and implement Low Impact Development (LID) as an effective approach to address stormwater
quality and impacts to streams by urbanization. Low Impact Development is a comprehensive land
ω
planning and engineering design approach with a goal of minimizing the impact of development on urban
watersheds through the use of various techniques aimed at mimicking predevelopment hydrology.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facility has been designed in such a way as to allow 85%
of the impervious area of the site to passes through an LID Stromwater Quality feature thus reducing
impacts to the urban watershed and nearby streams and downstream drainage conveyances. Lemay
Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facility is a model for Low Impact Urban Development design.
Policy ENV 26.2 – Integrate Watershed and Stormwater Management
Design stormwater systems within the Poudre River watershed to minimize the introduction of human-
caused pollutants. Educational programs and demonstration projects will be pursued to enhance public
understanding of pollution prevention efforts.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities extensive use of LID Stormwater features and
infrastructure insures that the quality of the Pouder River watershed will not be adversely impacted by
this proposed new development.
COMMUNITY & NEIGHBORHOOD LIVABILITY
Principle LIV 5: The City will promote redevelopment and infill in areas identified on the
Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas Map.
Policy LIV 5.1 – Encourage Targeted Redevelopment and Infill
Encourage redevelopment and infill in Activity Centers and Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas
identified on the Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas Map (See Figure LIV 1). The purpose of these
areas is to:
Promote the revitalization of existing, underutilized commercial and industrial areas.
Concentrate higher density housing and mixed-use development in locations that are currently or will
be served by high frequency transit in the future and that can support higher levels of activity.
Channel development where it will be beneficial and can best improve access to jobs, housing, and
services with fewer and shorter auto trips.
Promote reinvestment in areas where infrastructure already exists.
Increase economic activity in the area to benefit existing residents and businesses and, where
necessary, provide the stimulus to redevelop.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities is located within the City’s defined Targeted
Infill and Redevelopment Areas as identified on the Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas Map. As
such this development is expected to promote the further redevelopment and revitalization of the
existing and underutilized industrial area of the Buckingham Neighborhood. The developments
proximity to existing housing will result in fewer and shorter trips for nearby residents. The
development will also enhance the economic activity in the area and providing further stimulus for
redevelopment of the surrounding neighborhood.
Policy LIV 5.4 – Contribute to Public Amenities
Explore options for private development to help contribute to the additional public amenities needed in
areas where infill and redevelopment occurs. Public amenities will be key to transforming outdated areas
ϊ
into distinct places with identifiable character and more marketable frontage that promotes
redevelopment. Needed amenities usually include pedestrian improvements like streetscapes, plazas,
special walkways, and lighting; access improvements like new secondary streets; and landscaping and
signage for identity and wayfinding. Options for helping developers with these amenities include tax
increment financing, improvement districts, and context-sensitive design and engineering standards for
streets and development.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities will develop much needed public facilities
adjacent to its development including ADA accessible pedestrian streetscape improvements to Lemay
Avenue and Buckingham Street, landscaped tree lined streetscapes, public access to onsite plazas and
site amenities directly from the Public Right-of-Way.
Policy LIV 6.2 – Seek Compatibility with Neighborhoods
Encourage design that complements and extends the positive qualities of surrounding development and
adjacent buildings in terms of general intensity and use, street pattern, and any identifiable style,
proportions, shapes, relationship to the street, pattern of buildings and yards, and patterns created by
doors, windows, projections and recesses. Compatibility with these existing elements does not mean
uniformity.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities can be determined to be compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood based upon the existing business, commercial use and residences in close
proximity to the site. The architectural character of the neighborhood to the south is defined by small
commercial businesses and large craft breweries (Fort Collins Brewery, Odell Brewery, New Belgium Brewery)
as well as one small craft brewery, Snowbank Brewery. A block north of the site, the old sugar beet plant
(now the City Streets Department) exemplifies the old-style factory/industrial feel of the district. These
existing uses are what has influenced the design of this new brewery with its modern-agricultural feel,
blending the region’s history with the surrounding industrial zone.
The proposed size, height, mass, and scale of the Brewery is all integral to the intended use as well as
adding to the neighborhood’s character and quality. The placement of the brewery close to the
intersection of Lemay and Buckingham, is consistent with the design goals of the City. The Brewhouse
can be viewed through large glass openings exposing interior brewing equipment to passers-by on both
Lemay avenue and Buckingham Street. The west side of the Tasting Room opens to an attractive
Biergarten which is placed close to the public realm completely fenced and fully landscaped. The
proposed brewery is a one story building with sloping roofs. It includes a masonry base on the front
and side elevations of the buildings, combined with attractive metal siding and glass.
The proposed size, height, mass, and scale of the Self-Storage buildings are all integral to the intended
use. The placement of the storage buildings across the central and southern portion of the site creates
an inviting lawn and open corner for the Craft Brewery development. There are seven new Self-Storage
buildings proposed one 3-story building will be located facing Lemay Avenue and flanking the south side
of the Lawn. The other 6 buildings are single story and utilize sloped roofs and pedestrian scale elements
to create a dialogue of size and scale with the future Brewery site. The main facade of the multi-level
storage building utilizes glazing and agricultural design details to enhance the building view from Lemay
Avenue and Buckingham Street.
ϋ
There is no current consistent theme of building material usage in the area. Therefore commonly used
steel building construction materials are to be utilized for the project. Similar building forms,
architectural detailing, color and texture, will be in order to enhance the overall architectural
experience in the area.
Policy LIV 6.3 – Encourage Introduction of Neighborhood-Related, Non-Residential
Development
Encourage the addition of new services, conveniences, and/or gathering places in existing neighborhoods
that lack such facilities, provided they meet performance and architectural standards respecting the
neighborhood’s positive characteristics, level of activity, and parking and traffic conditions.
See comments above, 6.2
Principle LIV 10: The city’s streetscapes will be designed with consideration to the visual
character and the experience of users and adjacent properties. Together, the layout of the
street network and the streets themselves will contribute to the character, form, and scale
of the city.
Policy LIV 10.1 – Design Safe, Functional, and Visually Appealing Streets
Ensure all new public streets are designed in accordance with the City street standards and design all
new streets to be functional, safe, and visually appealing, with flexibility to serve the context and purpose
of the street corridor. Provide a layout that is simple, interconnected, and direct, avoiding circuitous
routes. Include elements such as shade trees, landscaped medians and parkways, public art, lighting, and
other amenities in the streetscape. Approve alternative street designs where they are needed to
accommodate unique situations, such as “green” stormwater functions, important landscape features, or
distinctive characteristics of a neighborhood or district, provided that they meet necessary safety,
accessibility, and maintenance requirements. (Also see the Transportation chapter.)
Policy LIV 10.2 – Incorporate Street Trees
Utilize street trees to reinforce, define and connect the spaces and corridors created by buildings and
other features along a street. Preserve existing trees to the maximum extent feasible. Use canopy shade
trees for the majority of tree plantings, including a mixture of tree types, arranged to establish urban
tree canopy cover.
By “Anchoring” the Lemay/Buckingham intersection with the Craft Brewery and by providing pedestrian
scale buildings along Lemay Avenue coupled with the addition of street trees, shrub beds and natural
grass plantings, and by strategically placing plaza spaces, patios and an inviting Biergaten adjacent to the
Lemay and Buckingham Right-of-Way the Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities will
greatly improve the visual quality and character of the existing streetscape as viewed from the
surrounding neighborhoods, pedestrian ways, and vehicles passing by.
Principle LIV12: Security and crime prevention will be important factors in urban design.
Policy LIV 12.1 – Design for Crime Prevention and Security
Employ a natural approach to crime prevention through the design and layout of new development.
Natural crime prevention means the natural community surveillance that results from visibility and
observation by citizens who feel a sense of ownership of the community. Foster these qualities through
urban design and development patterns, avoiding and addressing hidden areas and those difficult to
access. (Also see the Safety and Wellness chapter.)
ό
Policy LIV 12.2 – Utilize Security Lighting and Landscaping
Provide security lighting at low, even levels to create comfortable area-wide visibility and pedestrian
security, not highly contrasting bright spots and shadows. Design landscaping to avoid hidden areas,
particularly where such areas may be used at night, such as near building approaches and entrances,
transit stops and stations.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities has been designed with security in mind. The
site will provide both festive patio and plaza lighting and well placed security lighting. To the extent
possible the Self-Storage buildings have be utilized as perimeter security with 6’ security fencing limited
to between buildings and along the south perimeter of the site. The storage facility will provide building
and pole mounted security lighting throughout the interior drives and will utilize security cameras at
various critical locations.
Principle LIV 13: Community gateways are located at primary entryways into the
community, including at the I-25 corridor interchanges, at the north and south ends of
College Avenue, and at entrances to unique districts and corridors (such as the Downtown
River District). The City will recognize gateways as important locations to draw attention
to and convey the character of the surrounding district.
Policy LIV 13.3 – Establish Gateway Design
Consider including the following elements to achieve high quality gateway design: supportive land uses,
building architecture, landscaping, signage, lighting, and public art. Incorporate these elements within the
immediate interchange or intersection area and/or along the primary arterial street corridor leading into
the community.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities will “Anchor” the intersection of Lemay Avenue
and Buckingham Street and as such will create a major new Gateway to the Buckingham and
Andersonville Neighborhoods thus punctuating the importance of this historic area of Fort Collins and
the City’s “Brewery Business Cluster”.
Principle LIV 14: Require quality and ecologically sound landscape design practices for all
public and private development projects throughout the community.
Policy LIV 14.1 – Encourage Unique Landscape Features
In addition to protecting existing natural features, encourage integration of unique landscape features
into the design and architecture of development and capital projects. These unique features may range
from informal and naturalized to highly structured and maintained features. Some examples include tree
groves within a project, stormwater facilities that become naturalized over time, walls with vines,
drainageway enhancements, and other small, uniquely landscaped spaces.
Policy LIV 14.2 – Promote Functional Landscape
Incorporate practical solutions to ensure a landscape design is functional in providing such elements as
natural setting, visual appeal, shade, foundation edge to buildings, screening, edible landscapes, buffers,
safety, and enhancement of built environment. Consider and address practical details such as sight
distance requirements and long-term maintenance in landscape design.
Policy LIV 14.3 – Design Low Maintenance Landscapes
Design new landscaping projects based on maintainability over the life cycle of the project using proper
soil amendment and ground preparation practices, as well as the appropriate use of hardscape elements,
ύ
trees, mulches, turf grass, other plant materials, and irrigation systems. Low maintenance practices can
be achieved in both turf and non-turf planting areas, provided these areas are designed and installed to
minimize weeds, erosion and repairs.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities will “Anchor” the intersection of Lemay Avenue
and Buckingham Street with a major new Gateway to north Fort Collins. The addition of street trees,
shrub beds and natural grass plantings, and a well designed Water-Wise Landscape with plaza spaces,
patios and a Biergaten adjacent to the Lemay and Buckingham Right-of-Way all providing for a unique
landscape feature within this historic area of Fort Collins and the Brewery Business Cluster
Principle LIV15: Commercial developments create a powerful impression of the City, both
individually and taken together as a whole. While corporate franchises and chain stores
will remain vital and recognizable, commercial developments shall be designed to
contribute to Fort Collins’ distinct visual quality and uniqueness.
Policy LIV 15.1 – Modify Standardized Commercial Architecture
Provide site-specific design of commercial buildings to reflect local values, and modify standardized
architectural prototypes, if necessary, so that the city’s appearance remains unique. Development will
not consist solely of repetitive design that may be found in other communities.
Policy LIV 15.2 – Seek Compatibility with Surrounding Development
Design commercial buildings to contribute to the positive character of the area. Building materials,
architectural details, color range, building massing, and relationships to streets and sidewalks will
contribute to a distinctive local district, corridor, or neighborhood.
The Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage buildings will add to the neighborhood’s character
and quality. The placement of the brewery close to the intersection of Lemay and Buckingham, is
consistent with the design goals of the City. The Brewhouse and Tap Room have been uniquely designed
and the brewing activity can be viewed through large glass walls exposing the interior brewing
equipment to passers-by on both Lemay Avenue and Buckingham Street. The west side of the Tasting
Room opens to an attractive Biergarten which is placed close to the public realm completely fenced and
fully landscaped.
The Self-Storage buildings placement across the central and southern portion of the site creates an
inviting lawn and open corner for the Craft Brewery development. The seven Self-Storage buildings
proposed include a 3-story building facing Lemay Avenue and flanking the south side of the Lawn
includes sloping articulated roof lines and 2nd and 3rd story glazing on both the northeast and southeast
corners of the building. The other 6 buildings are single story and utilize sloped roofs and pedestrian
scale elements to create a dialogue of size and scale with the future Brewery site. All of the storage
buildings utilize agricultural design details to enhance the building view from Lemay Avenue and
Buckingham Street.
Principle LIV 39: Industrial Districts will provide places for a wide range of industrial and
commercial uses that do not need or are not suited to high public visibility.
Policy LIV 39.1 – Mix of Uses
Industrial Districts may include a mix of employment and supporting uses as follows:
υτ
Principal uses: Industrial land uses such as manufacturing, assembly plants, primary metal and
related industries; vehicle related commercial uses such as auto repair and maintenance, and storage;
other types of commercial operations; and warehouses, outdoor storage yards, and distribution
facilities. Include a variety of flexible sites for small, local, and startup business and industry, as well as
large national or regional enterprises. Supporting uses: Restaurants, day care, convenience retail,
services, and housing. Locate secondary uses within or immediately adjacent to and within walking
distances of major employment concentrations.
Policy LIV 39.2 – Location
Industrial Districts should be located away from or adequately buffered from residential neighborhoods.
Policy LIV 39.3 – Provide Land Use Transitions
Locate lower intensity land uses at the edges of the District to help provide a transition between an
Industrial District and adjacent districts and residential neighborhoods. Lower intensity supporting uses
may also be used to achieve this transition.
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities will represent two very low intensity land uses
that are allowed uses within the Industrial Zoning District. The uses are adequately buffered form the
surrounding residential areas by appropriate building setbacks and extensive streetscape landscaping.
The Self-Storage use represents one of the very lowest impact and low intensity land uses that could be
considered in the Industrial Zoning District generating very few vehicle trip to and from the site and as
such these proposed uses provide for a strong land use transitions along the edges of the industrial
district.
Policy LIV 39.5 – Incorporate Transit, Bikeways and Other Trip Reduction Strategies
Serve Industrial Districts using the City’s transit system and provide accessibility via bike routes.
Encourage businesses to have employees car-pool or van-pool, or work staggered hours in an attempt
to reduce traffic
Lemay Avenue Craft Brewery and Self-Storage Facilities will be accessible via on-street bike lanes
located on both Lemay Avenue and Buckingham Street as well as by an new 8’ wide multipurpose trail
along the west Right-of-Way of Lemay Avenue and a new 5’ pedestrian walk along Buckingham Street.
SAFETY & WELLNESS
Principle SW 1: The City will foster a safe community.
Policy SW 1.5 - Maintain Public Safety through Design
Provide a sense of security and safety within buildings, parking areas, walkways, alleys, bike lanes, public
spaces, and streets through environmental design considerations, such as adequate lighting, visibility,
maintained landscaping, and location of facilities. (Also see the Community and Neighborhood Livability
chapter’s Community Appearance and Design section). The principles and policies in this section build
on many of the City’s existing efforts related to parks, recreation, transportation, horticulture, and
coordination with the community’s health and human service providers. While the City has been
involved in many activities and coordinated efforts related to wellness for years, this section highlights
these activities in the new context of improving the overall health and wellness of the community. For
clarity, the term “wellness” used within this chapter refers to physical, mental, and spiritual health and
well-being.
