Project: 700 Remington Street
Lot size: 140 x 50 = 7,000 sq. ft.
Occupancy Group: Residential Single Family
Zoning: NCB
Owner: Robert Benham
Modification Request to Land Use Code Standard 4.9(D)(1) Density
This is a modification request to Land Use Code Standard 4.9(D)(1) Density and that reducing
the minimum required lot size of 10,000 SF to 7,000 SF for a single-family detached residence
with carriage house and that the proposed 7,000 SF lot would be nominal and inconsequential
when considered from the perspective of the entire development plan.
As previously permitted by the City of Fort Collins, the carriage house was used as an office for
the bed & breakfast and later as a hair salon. Of the two uses the hair salon has historically
been more impactful to adjacent properties than the proposed carriage house.
The proposal also aligns with the intent of the Old Town Neighborhoods Plan which states the
intent of the Neighborhood Conservation, Buffer District is that of a transition area between
heavier commercial uses and is intended as a place to locate, “ new accessory units internal to
existing homes or using rear carriage houses helps to maintain the visual character of the
neighborhoods while permitting additional units that could be used for aging-in-place, family
care, or that are more attainable for those earning median incomes.”
Furthermore, no structural or architectural modifications are contemplated for either the
existing main house or the existing carriage house as a part of this application. No subgrade
excavations of any nature are contemplated as a part of this application. No modifications to
the existing site grading or historical stormwater drainage are contemplated as a part of this
application, other than a slight increase in pervious site area due to the replacement of a stone
patio with an expanded gravel parking area.
