CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS
MEETING DATE: October 28, 1991
ITEM: Housing Authority expansion
APPLICANT: Housing Authority
c/o Jim Kline
1715 W. Mountain Ave.
Fort Collins, CO 80521
LAND USE DATA:
This is a proposal for an expansion of the existing Housing
Authority facility located at 1715 W. Mountain Avenue. The
applicant is proposing to convert the existing garage/shop to
office uses and to construct a 2,688 square foot garage/shop on the
west side of the existing building. The shop will be mainly for
minor shop work, woodworking, and cabinet work, but will not be for
welding or vehicle repair. The area to be converted into a garage
is currently a gravel parking area that is fenced in.
COMMENTS:
1. The property is zoned NCL, Neighborhood Conservation Low
Density Residential. The proposal must comply with the
setback and lot area requirements. It looks like the setbacks
can be met, but the lot must be at least 3 times the area of
the building (excluding any enclosed parking areas). If the
property does not comply, then you either need to apply for a
variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals, or you need to
submit the proposal as a Planned Unit Development.
2. If the proposal does meet the requirements, you would be
submitting an Expansion of a Non -Conforming Use which would be
reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board.
3. Because you are expanding the existing building by more than
25%, there is a requirement for the property to be platted.
The property is owned by the City of Fort Collins and a number
of smaller additions have taken place over the last few years.
It may be time to work out a written agreement with the City/
Parks Department to determine the area to be platted. If you
have a copy of the agreement, or if you come to a new
agreement, please include that with your submittal so we can
have a copy on file.
4. The discrepancy between the legal and the site plan,
concerning the size of the property, will have to be verified.
5. Light and Power development charges are normally triggered by
the platting process. In this case, if you are not expanding
your service, by requiring an upgrade to the panel or system,
then there will be no development charges at this time.
6. This property is in the Old Town Basin and therefore there are
no stormwater development fees. You will be required to
submit a drainage report and drainage/grading plan, including
an erosion control plan for construction. Please include
information on what types of materials are being stored in the
storage area. There will likely be a variance granted to the
City requirement for on -site detention. The report should
address the same kinds of issues that you looked at for the
senior housing. Since this is an existing site, you will be
evaluating on -site and off -site conditions to see that the
addition does not make the existing conditions (on and off
site) worse.
7. Building inspection would request that you list the types of
uses for the addition and the converted garage, and also the
types of materials that will be stored in the new storage
area. The addition will probably be a B rated occupancy.
Building Inspection will coordinate with the Fire Authority to
make sure that all building and fire code issues have been
addressed. The converted garage will have to be brought up to
current building code standards.
8. A standard building permit application, including 2 sets of
construction drawings and plans, would be required. Include
with the application verification that the new addition will
address the model energy code.
9. There will not be any street oversizing fees for this
expansion, as the Housing Authority is exempt from these fees.
10. You will need to apply for a curb cut permit, either as a
separate document, or you can add the proposed driveway detail
to the grading/drainage plan which will be reviewed by the
appropriate departments and when approved would be considered
your permit. The driveway should be at a 90 degree angle to
Mountain Avenue.
11. Please consider how this driveway affects the existing trolley
lines and operation.
12. Please include with your submittal, building elevations
showing architectural information such as style, building
materials, and color. The addition should be compatible or
relate to the existing building by being similar in design,
color, and/or materials.
13. Will you be adding any landscaping to the site? If so, please
show this on the site/landscape plan.

14. A list of affected property owners within 500' of the property
should be included with your submittal. I have prepared a map
of the notification area for your use. The names of property
owners of record should be typed on labels (30 per page) and
should be current (within the last 3-4 months).
