Home My WebLink AboutPlans - 04/19/2017SHADOW STUDIES – CONFLUENCE PDP170001: We believe that the project complies with the standards for building height set forth by 3.5.1(G) of the City’s Land Use Code. Light and Shadow: The organization of the building massing takes into consideration the effects of shading not only on the site but adjacent sites as well. The building steps back as the height increases and the massing is intentionally stepped down adjacent to the neighboring structures. Additionally the tallest portion of the overall building is located to the rear of the site away from the neighbors. Because the orientation of Linden and Willow are roughly 45 degrees off-‐axis from the Cartesian grid, the Confluence site as well as its neighbors generally have two sides of the buildings with a southerly exposure and orientation. This also means that the longest wintertime shadows tend to have less impact on neighbors. Privacy: The commercial occupancies in the building have a predominance of their openings facing the public right-‐of-‐way or face internally to the site. Residential windows and balconies are also focus on long distance views and care has been taken to have a minimum of windows that face residential neighbors. Even then, views between uses tend to be more constrained in the urban/downtown context than is achievable in lower density zones. Neighborhood Scale: The River District of Fort Collins is a rapidly changing and developing area of the city. It contains a considerable number of building scales, types, and uses. Confluence recognizes the diverse nature of the district by providing a variety of massing on the site that meets the intent of the RDR District and its Design Guidelines. The larger and taller portions of the massing respond to the public urban context focusing on street frontages and right-‐of-‐way. While the lower height massing respond to the existing context of the neighboring sites. The developer of Confluence has met with the neighboring property owners and has shared their plans for development with them and has received support of the project during those interactions.
