Lilac Professional Office – Basic Development Review
Lilac Professional Office is a project within the Neighborhood Conservation Buffer
District (NCB). The existing building is approximately 975 s.f. on an existing 6,804.64
s.f./0.156 acre lot. The site is located at 420 Lilac Lane in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Overall the project proposes to convert and existing residential building into a
professional office, a permitted use without exterior alterations. No structural changes
are proposed to the exterior of the existing building. The day-to-day uses would include
internal accounting and management of businesses owned by the Owner. Occasionally,
visits may be made to conduct business meetings. Professional services are to be
provided for internal use only and are not intended to be provided for outside visiting
customers.
In regards to site improvements, the project proposes to increase the width of the
existing concrete drive to provide additional off-street parking. The existing, and only
vehicular access, is from Lilac Lane. No access is proposed along E. Mulberry Street.
