RECOMMENDATION: Approval EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The applicant, the Fort Collins Housing Authority, and the owner, the City of Fort Collins, are requesting to plat, into a 16,766 sq. ft. lot, the Housing Authority site. The proposal meets the design criteria and standards of the City of Fort Collins for streets and utilities. The lot in this subdivision fronts on a dedicated right-of-way, and the lot is consistent with, and meets the requirements of the N-C-L Zoning District. The subdivision of this property is to create a legally subdivided lot for the existing Housing Authority building and grounds. The area to be subdivided is consistent with the area as described in a lease agreement between the City of Fort Collins and the Fort Collins Housing Authority. Creation of a subdivided lot does not grant any approval to expand or alter the existing structure in any way. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES PLANNING DEPARTMENT 300 LaPorte Ave. P.O. Boa 580 Fort Collins. CO 80522-0580 (303) 221-6750 Fort Collins Housing Authority Subdivision Plat - Final April 27, 1992 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: R-M; single family homes and townhomes (Mountain Ct. PUD) S: N-C-L; City Park ball fields and golf course E: R-M; parking lot and apartments (Housing Authority units) W: N-C-L; City Park Nine Golf Course and Trolley Building This site is part of the original City plat. Prior to construction of the building, the Housing Authority and the City of Fort Collins entered into a lease agreement for the 16,766 square foot tract of land. After a building permit was issued and the Housing Authority Facility was constructed in 1977, a new 40 year lease agreement was approved by City Council. In 1982 the Planning and Zoning Board approved a 1000 square foot addition and in June of 1988 they approved a 300 square foot addition to the existing building as an expansion of a building containing a non -conforming use. The existing building is also a non -conforming use in the N-C-L Zoning District as a result of the October 1, 1991 Westside Rezoning. 2. Land Use The creation of a legal lot for the existing Housing Authority building would not change the land use of the property, which is currently an office, warehouse, and household scale maintenance shop. Subdivision of this property does not allow expansion of the existing building, nor does it give approval for future development or redevelopment on this site, nor does it change the zoning of the property. Any future expansion or redevelopment of this property would require a public hearing and review by the Planning and Zoning Board. Streets and utilities necessary to serve this lot are existing and meet the design criteria and standards of the City of Fort Collins. The lot fronts on Mountain Avenue, a dedicated public right-of-way. The property is currently zoned N-C-L, Neighborhood Conservation Low Density. The existing use is a legal non -conforming use in this zoning district. Applicable bulk and area requirements in the N-C-L District include the following: 1. Minimum lot area shall be equivalent to at least three times the floor area but not less than 6,000 sq. ft. 2. Minimum lot width shall be forty (40) feet. Fort Collins Housing Authority Subdivision, Final Plat, #28-89B April 27, 1992 P & Z Meeting Page 3 3. Minimum front yard depth shall be 15 feet. 4. Minimum depth of rear yard shall be 5 feet to an existing alley or otherwise 15 feet. 5. Maximum building height shall be thirty (30) feet. One lot subdivisions of existing buildings are typically processed as Minor Subdivisions and are approved by the Planning Director. Staff felt that this Subdivision would be perceived as controversial and this is why it is being taken to the Planning and Zoning Board for approval. The City is the property owner and has requested that the plat of this property be recorded. 3. Findings A. The proposal meets the design criteria and standards of the City of Fort Collins for streets and utilities. B. The lot in this subdivision fronts on a dedicated public right-of-way. C. The lot is consistent with, and meets the requirements of the N-C-L, Neighborhood Conservation Low Density, Zoning District. RECOMMENDATION This request meets the design criteria and standards of the City of Fort Collins for streets and utilities. The lot in this subdivision fronts on a dedicated right-of-way, and the lot is consistent with, and meets the requirements of the N-C-L Zoning District. Staff recommends approval of the Fort Collins Housing Authority Subdivision, Final Plat #28-89B. Cultural, IMrary, and Recreational City of Fort Collins MEMORANDUM DT: April 22, 1992 TO: Planning and Zoning Board FM: Michael W. Powers, Director of Cultural, Library and Recreational Services, Y RE: Housing Authority Subdivision Plat The Parks and Recreation Staff has reviewed the proposed plat for the Housing Authority Subdivision. It is our understanding that platting does not grant any use by right because the Housing Authority is a non -conforming use and any additions or major changes to the building would have to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Board. It is further understood that the land, although platted, still remains part of City Park and if the Housing Authority were to vacate the premises, the land and the facility would revert to City use as per the terms of the lease between the City and the Housing Authority. Given the above conditions, the Parks and Recreation Department is not opposed to the platting of the Housing Authority lot as legally described in the lease.

We feel that several items warrant clarification. 1. Neighborhood information meetings are required for projects which are perceived to be controversial or which could have substantial impact on the neighborhood, in terms of either activity or traffic. At the conceptual review meeting on October 28, 1991 Staff indicated that a neighborhood meeting was not necessary. Staff considered the addition to have a minimal impact on the neighborhood. The property is bordered on three sides by City Park. Neither the land use of the property nor the traffic impacts were proposed to increase. The proposed addition was to occur within the already fenced area described in the Housing Authority's lease agreement. Only the roof of the addition would be visible across Mountain Avenue. The applicant always has the option of requesting a meeting. 2. Neighborhood concerns from the condominium complex across the street and staff input were given to the Housing Authority for consideration. The residents to the north suggested that the addition should be "residential" in character. They specifically mentioned a pitched, shingled roof, and residential siding. In the immediate area there exists a considerable diversity of architectural styles. To the north and east are several houses with flat roofs, a brick and wood condominium complex with a low pitched roof, apartments with pitched roofs and wide siding, and an assortment of other single family homes with gabled and pitched roofs with brick and/or wood siding. The trolley barn to the west has yet a different architectural style with wood siding and a steeply pitched roof. 3. The project was given the name of Housing Authority Maintenance Facility and the sequential number of a previous project by the same name, when the 281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750 project was submitted as an expansion to a nonconforming use. After staff recommended that the project be reviewed as a PUD (because it was initially determined that it would not meet the strict requirements of the zoning code for setbacks and lot area) the Housing Authority submitted (in January) documents, including the plat, drainage plan, point chart, energy conservation worksheet, and site and landscape plan, referring to the project as the Housing Authority PUD. Mr. Kline, of the Housing Authority, stated that the predominant use of the building was an office and that the name they had given it was the Housing Authority PUD. The name of the PUD was then changed on the agenda to reflect the correct name of this PUD according to all of the documents submitted by the Housing Authority. The proper name for this PUD, as reflected by the documents provided by the applicant, is the "Fort Collins Housing Authority PUD". The particular name of a project has no bearing on the nature of the review or the outcome of the project. The Housing Authority has always had the option of appealing the Board's decision to City Council, if they believed that the Board made an inappropriate decision. They may also resubmit a revised plan for review. We hope this clarifies Mr. Herrera's comments. cc: Mr. Gerry Horak, City Council Mr. David Herrera, Fort Collins Housing Authority Services Planning Department MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Zoning Board Members FROM: Kirsten Whetstone, Project Planner THRU: Tom Peterson, Planning Director DATE: April 6, 1992 The attached letter from Mr. David Herrera, Executive Director of the Fort Collins Housing Authority, was received recently.
