The project scores 40% on Point Chart E "Business Service Uses" and as a result, has requested a variance to the point chart. Staff supports the requested Point Chart variance. Conditions regarding the submission of information justifying energy conservation measures and the acquisition of off -site utility easements (if needed) are recommended. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 300 LaPorte Ave. P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, 00 80522-0580 (303) 221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT i • South Shields Veterinary Clinic PUD, Preliminary - #44-89, A November 20, 1989 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: R-L-P; existing single family residence S: R-L-P; existing single family residence E: R-L-P; vacant (Clarendon Hills Subdivision - First Church of God site) W: R-L-P; vacant (proposed South Shields Veterinary Clinic PUD Master Plan) The site was annexed as part of The Ridge Annexation in 1989 and is zoned R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential. There is an existing residence on a portion of this site. This residence is a "use -by -right" in the R-L-P Zoning District. 2. Land Use: The proposed use consists of a 3,800 square foot veterinary clinic and an existing single family residence. The existing residence will need to be on a subdivided lot. A subdivision plat would be submitted at the time of final application, to create a separate lot for the existing residence. The land use proposed on this preliminary site plan was evaluated under the criteria of the Business Service Uses Point Chart. The project achieves 40%. (A minimum of 50% is required on this point chart.) Points were awarded for being located outside the South College Avenue Corridor; for being a mixed -use development (residential and business service uses); and for energy conservation. Staff is recommending a condition that the applicant submit detailed informa- tion justifying the proposed energy conservation measures with the final PUD application. The applicant has requested a variance to Point Chart E "Business Service Uses", for the contiguity criteria. In this case, 1/6 contiguity to existing development could be obtained from the property to the east of Shields Street, which is an existing subdivided lot for First Church of God. For the purposes of meeting the contiguity criteria, however, existing development is defined as "any subdivision in the City, which has been approved and recorded once all engineering improvements (water, sewer, streets, curbs, gutters, street lights, fire hydrants and storm drainage) are installed and completed. There are some street and drainage improvements that have not been completed and thus, the site does not qualify for contiguity credit along its Shields Street frontage. There is also contiguity for the proposed South Shields Veterinary Clinic PUD Master Plan with The Ridge Subdivision to the west; however, The Ridge is a County -approved development which was constructed without the level of urban improvements needed to qualify as "existing development". South Shields Veterinary Clinic PUD, Preliminary - #44-89, A November 20, 1989 P & Z Meeting Page 3 Although this site does not meet the contiguity criteria, it is located in a developing area that is in transition between rural and urban land uses. The majority of the necessary urban improvements have been installed along the west side of Shields Street and while The Ridge is not "urban development", the site does have contiguity with this development through the master plan. Furthermore, the proposed use has elements of both a rural and urban nature and therefore, is appropriate for this area. On this basis, staff supports the requested variance to Point Chart E "Business Service Uses". 3. Desien: The proposed clinic has been designed to be residential in character. The structure is one-story, with a hipped roof. All activities related to the veterinary clinic would be contained within the structure. There are a number of existing trees and shrubs on the site that would be retained. Additional landscaping proposed includes coniferous screening along the north property line, street trees along Shields Street and a combination of berming and plant materials at the entrance to the site and for screening the proposed parking lot. Adequate parking has been provided for four employees and customers. The applicant has two alternatives for obtaining water and sewer service to this site from the Fort Collins -Loveland Water District/South Fort Collins Sanitation District. One option is for utility lines to be extended under Shields Street from the east side of the street. A second option is for an extension of utilities from the current location in Hepplewhite Court, which is at the eastern edge of The Ridge. The extension from Hepplewhite Court would require off -site easements, since these utility lines would cross one property that lies between Hepplewhite Court and the western portion of the South Shields Veterinary Clinic Master Plan. Further analysis may also be needed to determine if this route would physically permit the installation of utilities. The location of utilities must be determined prior to submittal of a final PUD application and reflected on a final utility plan; therefore, staff is recommending a condition that off -site utility easements be secured by the applicant prior to submission of a final PUD application (if the Hepplewhite Court utility route is chosen by the applicant). 4. Neighborhood Comnatibility: A neighborhood meeting was held on this proposal on August 31, 1989. Four residents/property owners attended this meeting. The attached meeting sum- mary indicates that concerns generally related to the present speed limit and conditions on Shields Street, as well as the interest in retaining residential character in the proposed veterinary clinic. 5. Transyortation: Access to the site is from Shields Street, via a private driveway. The applicant will be required to construct a 24' wide driveway to the west edge of this site and to construct a temporary turnaround adequate for fire equip- South Shields Veterinary Clinic PUD, Preliminary - #44-89, A November 20, 1989 P & Z Meeting Page 4 ment. An access easement will be dedicated for this driveway. The site plan has been designed in such a way that as the remainder of the site to the west develops, a 36' wide local street can be dedicated and constructed by the applicant to provide access for the single family homes proposed on the South Shields Veterinary Clinic PUD Master Plan. RECOMMENDATION Staff finds that the South Shields Veterinary Clinic PUD, Preliminary meets the criteria of the All Development Chart of the Land Development Guidance System and that a variance to Point Chart E "Business Service Uses" is justified. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the South Shields Veteri- nary Clinic PUD, Preliminary #44-89,A with the following conditions: 1. The applicant submit detailed information justifying the proposed energy conservation measures with the final PUD application. 2. Off -site utility easements be secured by the applicant prior to submission of a final PUD application (if the Hepplewhite Court utility route is chosen by the applicant). ITEM 5001 S.

Collins, CO 80522 420 WEST OAK STREET FT. COLLINS, CO 80521 (303) 224-3140 RE: Variance Request, South Shields Veterinary Clinic Dear Mrs. Clark; We request the City of Fort Collins' consideration in granting a variance on the contiguity credit for the above plan. The proposed Veterinary Clinic site appears to meet the 1/6 contiguity requirement with the exception of the sidwwalk improvement which has not been completed on the First Church of God building site east of the proposed Veterinary Clinic site. It should be taken into consideration that the master plan adjoins The Ridge subdivision which forms approximately 25% of the total boundary of the site. It appears to us that the project will meet the proposed business service point chart if the contiguity issue is resolved. Sincerely, Donald L. Richmond
