PROJECT: Burger King at Riverside P.U.D., Preliminary, #37-89
APPLICANT: Nor -Mar Development, Inc.
c/o Edward G. Zdenek Architects

Fort Collins, CO. 80524
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This is a request for a Preliminary P.U.D. for a 2,700 square foot Burger King
fast food restaurant. The site is currently occupied by B & M Roofing Com-
pany and totals .78 acres. The project is located at the southeast corner of
Riverside Avenue and Lemay Avenue, and is zoned C, Commercial.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval with Conditions
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since the project is located in the C, Commercial, zone, a fast food restaurant
would be allowed as a "use by right". The applicant has elected to proceed as
a P.U.D. A variance to allow an auto related and roadside commercial use
that only scores 29.6% (required minimum is 50%) is being requested. There are
numerous transportation issues that must be resolved to allow full turn
movements at the Lemay Avenue curb cut. One condition of approval has
been recommended to address the complex transportation issues. Four condi-
tions of approval are recommended to upgrade the P.U.D. site plan to a higher
level of quality.

COMMENTS
1. Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: b-p; Vacant (Poudre River Business Park, Master Plan and Final P.U.D.)
S: B-P; Auto Tune and Self Serve Car Wash
E: I-G; Print Shop
W: I-G; Riverside Junction Neighborhood Shopping Center
The subject property is currently the site of B & M Roofing, a business that
has been on the site since 1947. The site has also been granted a sign permit
for a billboard.
2. Land Use:
A fast food restaurant is
a permitted
use in the
Commercial zone district.
Because of peculiar shape
of the site combined with
the need to incorporate a
drive -through feature,
the
applicant has
elected to proceed as a P.U.D. rather
than a use by right.
The
opportunities
afforded by
the P.U.D. process provide
for design flexibility
and
site upgrades
which may
otherwise not be available
through the use by
right
and variance
procedure
of the Zoning Board of
Appeals.
As a P.U.D., the project was evaluated against the criteria of Auto Related and
Roadside Commercial point chart. The score of 29.6% does not meet the mini-
mum required score of 50%. Points were awarded for joint parking with the
Print Shop and for contiguity with existing urban development.
Since the project does not meet the minimum required score, a variance must
be granted by the Planning and Zoning Board to allow the proposed land use.
The L.D.G.S. empowers the Planning and Zoning Board to grant variances to
the provisions of the P.U.D. requirements. Staff feels a variance to the Auto
Related and Roadside Commercial point chart of the L.D.G.S. is justified for a
fast food restaurant at this location for the following reasons:
A. The character of the surrounding area is retail/commercial/industrial. The
properties to the east and west are zoned General Industrial while the
properties to the north and south are zoned Planned Business. The pro-
posed fast food restaurant is compatible with the Riverside Junction
Shopping Center across Lemay Avenue.
B. The proposed use is in the same general scale as the surrounding area.
The physical structure and site design elements are compatible with the
adjacent land uses. The height, bulk, and scale of the proposed P.U.D. are
not intrusive to the established character of the neighboring properties.

C. The value of redeveloping an infill parcel promotes efficient land use
within an urban setting. The impacts associated with a fast food restau-
rant can be mitigated by site design and buffering. The removal of an
industrial use from a commercial district enhances compatibility of the
shopping district as a whole.
D. The conversion of an industrial use to a fast food restaurant at this
location does not alter the urban form and reinforces the area as a
neighborhood activity center.
In terms of land use, it is Staff's conclusion that the allowance of an auto
related and roadside commercial use at the intersection of Lemay Avenue and
Riverside Drive is justified based on compatibility to the surrounding area,
conformance to the urban scale of the area, promotion of efficient land use by
redeveloping an infill parcel, and the reinforcement of the character of the
area as a neighborhood activity center. It is further found that granting a
variance to allow the proposed use will not cause substantial detriment to the
public good or impair the purpose of the L.D.G.S.
3. Neighborhood Comt)atibility:
A neighborhood meeting was not held for this proposal. There are no residen-
tial neighborhoods within close proximity to the site. The removal of an
industrial use in favor of a fast food restaurant at this location was not
considered to be of sufficient magnitude to warrant public input via the
neighborhood meeting process.
4. Desian:
A. Setbacks
The P.U.D. site plan indicates a 48 foot front setback from the new Lemay
Avenue property line after right-of-way dedication. A 10 foot parkway strip
between the sidewalk and the curb will allow for both underground utilities
and deciduous street trees. A seven foot landscape strip is provided between
the sidewalk and the drive-thru lane. There is no landscaped setback between
the sidewalk and the parking lot on Lemay Avenue.
B. Landscaping
The P.U.D. site plan indicates street trees along both arterials at 40 foot
intervals planted in a 10 foot wide parkway strip between the sidewalk and
curb, and three foot high berms with shrub beds at the intersection and along
Riverside. There is a 15 foot landscape strip behind the sidewalk along
Riverside Drive. The trash dumpster is screened by two evergreen trees.
C. Architecture
The building will be a one story structure not exceeding 16 feet in height.
Exterior materials include synthetic stucco and fiberglass roofing shingles.

D. Signage
The P.U.D. plan indicates two freestanding signs and two wall signs. The two
freestanding signs are monument signs. One is 8' x 8' for 64 square feet per
face (128 square foot total) located on the top of a three foot berm at the
intersection of Riverside and Lemay. The second monument sign is 5.16' x
5.16' for 26.62 square feet (53 square foot total) plus a 3.5' x 5.16' readerboard
for an additional 36.12 total square feet located at the Lemay Avenue curb cut.
The front mansard sign consists of "BURGER KING" in individual letters
totalling 20 square feet. The east wall sign is 6' x 6' for 36 square feet. The
menu board is not specified at this time. The total signage equals 273 square
feet. Total signage allowed under the Sign Code equals 475 square feet.
The larger monument sign, located directly on the corner, is placed on top of a
three foot berm, mounted on a two foot pedestal, for an overall height of 13
feet. The smaller monument sign, located at the Lemay Avenue curb cut, has
an overall height of 10.56 feet.
5. Transportation:
The site plan indicates full turn movements at both arterial curb cuts. In
order to mitigate the impact of additional trip generation associated with the
new Lemay curb cut, a variety of measures must be implemented. These
include:
A. Provision of a double left turn bay for northbound Lemay Avenue
B. Provision of a new, separate right turn bay for eastbound Riverside
C. Reducing the channelization island for the right turn bay of northbound
Riverside
D. Resolving any discrepancy with the Public Utilities Commission on the
relocation of the railroad crossing
E. Relocation of existing traffic signal, streetlight, storm sewer, electrical
vault, and Public Service vault
The transportation issues are being discussed at this time with the developer,
architect, and traffic consultant. At present, there is no resolution on these
issues.
6. Staff Concerns:
Staff is comfortable with the proposed land use at this location. As a P.U.D.,
however, the site plan does not perform up to a standard level of quality that
would be found, for example, on South College Avenue. In order to enhance
the P.U.D., Staff recommends the following conditions be attached to the
preliminary approval:
Burger King at Riverside P.U.D., Preliminary, - #37-89
October 23, 1989 P & Z Meeting
Page 5
A. The front setback of the building shall be shifted to the east to create a
larger landscaped area behind the sidewalk on Lemay Avenue in front of
the drive-thru lane.
B. The parking lot setback along Lemay Avenue shall be increased to protect
pedestrians from vehicle overhand and to provide increased screening from
the street.
C. The overall signage of the P.U.D. shall be reduced. In particular, the wall
sign on the east elevation should be deleted, the overall height of both
pedestal signs should be decreased, and the height of the readerboard should
be reduced.
D. The impact of a large menu board shall be minimized. This includes
moving the menu board further south, and adding trees, shrubs, and berms
to screen the menu board from Lemay Avenue.
E. All transportation issues relating to the relocation of a traffic signal,
streetlight, railroad crossing, and underground utilities shall be resolved at
the time of final P.U.D.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff finds that a variance to allow an auto related and roadside commercial
use as a P.U.D. that does not meet the required minimum score of 50% is
justified at the proposed location. Staff further finds that, as a P.U.D., the
site plan would benefit from specific upgrades that would raise the level of
quality. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the Burger King at River-
side P.U.D. subject to the following conditions:
A. The front setback of the building shall be shifted to the east to create a
larger landscaped area behind the sidewalk on Lemay Avenue in front of
the drive-thru lane.
B. The parking lot setback along Lemay Avenue shall be increased to protect
pedestrians from vehicle overhand and to provide increased screening from
the street.
C. The overall signage of the P.U.D. shall be reduced. In particular, the wall
sign on the east elevation should be deleted, the overall height of both
pedestal signs should be decreased, and the height of the readerboard should
be reduced.
D. The impact of a large menu board shall be minimized. This includes
moving the menu board further south, and adding trees, shrubs, and berms
to screen the menu board from Lemay Avenue.
E. All transportation issues relating to the relocation of a traffic signal,
streetlight, railroad crossing, and underground utilities shall be resolved at
the time of final P.U.D.

PLANNING OBJECTIVES
Burger King at Riverside P.U.D.
Preliminary P.U.D.
July 5, 1989
The Burger King at Riverside PUD submission is the culmination of lengthy nego-
tiations with the City of Fort Collins. While start determined the land use to
be appropriate (a use by right in the existing IG zone) several site design
issues were identitied that needed to be addressed in the site planning.
Because of the critical location of the site, and the ditticulty of coordinating
the project with existing development, it was determined to pursue a PUD appro-
val rather than a site plan approval based on a use by right. The issues iden-
titied as critical to the proper development of the site include:
Trattic access to site
Existing trattic tunctions at the intersection of Riverside and Lemay
Internal circulation for the drive-thru
Coordinated access and internal circulation with adjacent property owners
Adequate project identitication
Trattic access to the site has been addressed in a trattic studv prepared by
Matt Delich for this submission. It was determined that the City currently
requires an additional through lane for trattic movement east on Riverside, and
that the single Lett turn lane on Lemay Avenue is working at maximum capacity
presently and that an additional lett turn bay will be required in the near
tuture. While neither of these improvements are caused by the redevelopment of
the site, we have addressed their solutions in the PUD plan.
Internal circulation for the drive-thru tunction was designed to internalize the
trattic tlow and to minimize the impact on the entrances to Lemay and Riverside.
Adjacent property owners have been contacted, and design solutions coordinated,
providing for improved access for all developments. The building east of our
property is currently being used as a print shop in conjunction with Robinson
Press. The three access points currently existing on Riverside have been coor-
dinated into one, and a new parking area added. The combined access to
Riverside has been continued to provide access to the auto -service development
south of the site. The resulting design should be a signiticantly improved
internal circulation at the intersection.
Project identitication on the site is ditticult because of adjacent development
setbacks (titteen (15) teet to the building south of the site and one (1) toot
to development east of us) the City has street lights, signal lights, and
railway crossing gates all blocking visual access to the site. For this reason
we have requested a pole sign be included in the development as well as a monu-
ment sign.
RIVERSIDE/submit
M
r
Landscaping is critical to this site it we are to transtorm an existing eyesore
into a site that will be pleasing to the people using the facility as well as
passing trattic. The existing site has no landscape improvements, the facility
east of our site has little or no landscaped improvements and the project south
of ours was developed as a use by right, providing limited landscape improve-
ments. We have included a street tree planting solution with irrigated turt
incorporating the latest City standards for landscape adjacent to arterial
streets. Drive-thru facilities and service areas have been screened from view
with evergreen hedge and tree treatments. Evergreen and deciduous shrubs have
been liberally used to assure color throughout the growing season. Berms have
been used to screen parking from public view. Internal trees have been selected
to provide varied color and shade appropriate to their location.
Peak shitt employment will be tourteen (14). The internal solution includes
outdoor dining and "sort play" areas. The energy consumption of the tacility is
minimized by increasing the insulation ratings of the tacility over the City
minimum standards.
The applicable land use policies that are met by the project include:
3a. Promote maximum utilization of land within the city
3b. Alternative transportation modes
14. Urban development standards
20. Understanding interrelationships
22. Contiguous development
24. Phased utilities
25. Directed growth
26. Available existing services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A Burger King restaurant is proposed to be located near
the intersection of Lemay Avenue and Riverside Avenue in Fort
Collins, Colorado. The study involved the steps of trip
generation, distribution and assignment; traffic projection;
and capacity analysis as set forth in the City's Traffic
Impact Study Guidelines.
This study assessed the impacts of the Burger King on
the existino street system in both 1990 and 2010. As a
result of this analysis, the following is concluded:
- The development of the Burger King is feasible from a
traffic engineering standpoint with specific improvements in
the area. It is estimated that more than 1500 average
weekday trips will be generated by the use considered in this
study.
- Current operation of the Lemay/Ri vers.i de intersection
is acceptable during the peak hours with the existing signal
control. Due to high eastbound to s.outhbound right turns and
high northbound to t&iestbound left turns, some geometric
improvements would greatly improve the efficiency of this.
intersection. The improvements are: (1) an exclusive right -
turn lane with two through lanes on the west leg; and (2)
double left -turn lanes on the south leg.
- Development of the proposed Burger King in the short
range future (1990) can be accommodated on the street network
in the area with the improvements mentioned above. The
Lemay/River=_.ide intersection will operate acceptably. The
stop sign controlled Lemay/access driveway intersection will
operate acceptably except for left -turn exits from the
driveway. The Riverside/access driveway intersection will
operate acceptably. Separate right- and left -turn lanes will
confine delays to only those vehicles desiring to turn left.
- In the long range future (2010), the Lemay/Riverside
intersection will operate acceptably with signal control and
the geometric improvements. to the west and south legs
mentioned above. The Lemay/access driveway intersction will
operate acceptably except for left -turn exits from the site.
The Riverside/access driveway intersection wi 1 1 operate
acceptably. Separate right- and left -turn lanes at each
access will confine delays to ony those vehicles desiring to
turn left. Driveway locations and on -site storage shown on
the site plan are the best possible given the physical
constraints of the site and the public street system. The
public street geometries are presented in Figure 9.

Memorandum
To: E. P. Michaels
Ed Zdenek
From: Matt Delich
Date: September 25, 1989
Subject: Lemay/Riverside Intersection Design
Attached is a copy of the Lemay/Riverside
intersection design. I have utilized the plotted survey
provided by Stewart & Associates as the base and the
site plan of Burger King at Riverside PUD by Edward G.
Zdenek to locate the proposed accesses to the site.
The design maintains the existing geometrics on the
north leg of Lemay Avenue. The eastbound approach of
Riverside provides a right -turn lane of 120 feet with a
90 foot taper, two through lanes, and a left -turn lane
of 280 feet with a 120 foot taper. The westbound
approach of Riverside provides a through/right-turn
lane, a through lane, and a left -turn lane of 150 feet
with a 90 foot taper. The south leg of Lemay maintains
the existing geometrics In the southbound direction.
The northbound approach of Lemay provides the right -turn
channelization, two through lanes, and double left -turn
lanes that provide a total storage length of 420 feet
with a taper at 7.5:1. This left -turn storage Is in
excess of that shown on Figure 9 of the "Burger King
Si to Access Study," July 1989, In-u-t—Just--shor-t--of--the
Also provided is a southbound left -turn lane <60'> at
the access to the proposed Burger King. Also shown on
Lemay Avenue are 4 foot bike lanes in ea.:Ti direction.
The design provides for six 10 foot lanes 1p�lr`us `f%'v16_fVeC_ ,
lanes.
The right -turn channelization island.will need to
be reduced in size. However, the location,of the curb
on the nor`theas,t quadrant does not need to be changed
based upon the available information. I have shown a
two way left -turn lane south of the access.to the
proposed Burger King. The only driveway that this lane
would serve is the auto repair/car wash to the south.
The access to the .Albertson's shopping center on the
west is right-in/right-out. The next full -turn access
to the south is approximately 200 feet to the south.
The design that I have shown on the attached
drawing Indicates striping rather than raised medians.
0,,'�"f
•
If raised medians are used, then the width of this
median should be added to the width of Lemay Avenue.
The minimum width of a raised median is 4 feet. Raised
medians will cause a reduction in the length of left -
turn storage on Lemay Avenue between Riverside and the
access to the proposed Burger King. The reduction in
northbound left -turn storage may be as much as 40-50
feet.
Prior to designing the striping indicated on the
attached drawing, I analyzed the separate signal phasing
with a combined through/left-turn lane on northbound¢
Lemay Avenue. My analysis indicated that acceptable J
operation was achieved with this signal phasing and
