REASON FOR REZONING REQUEST The Stromberger Property is currently zoned T - Transitional. The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned ip - Industrial Park, with the condition that the site be developed in accordance with a unified Master Plan to be submitted and approved by the Planning and Zoning Board. The request is being made in order to allow a mixed use development comprising industrial, business, service, and residential areas. The subject property represents an opportunity to fulfill a number of adopted Land Use Policies; and the proposed Industrial Park zone with a required Master Plan is seen as the best method of implementing the following goals: - Determine an overall approach to access, circulation, utilities, drainage, and landscape buffers along major streets and at the perimeter of the property. - Define in advance, uses to be allowed on the subject property, if designed to meet City Standards. - Provide the ability to respond quickly to the needs of major employers - or other users key to economic development in Fort Collins - that may desire to locate on the subject property. * Because of the varying site area and design needs of the types of companies that locate in Industrial/Business Parks, it is not possible to pre -plan individual building sites in great detail. Therefore the PUD process - if applicable - cannot begin until a user has decided on a location. The proposed zoning approach will allow major public decisions regarding street patterns, utilities, general site design standards, and the like to be determined at the Master Plan phase, and allow the user, developer, and City the option of proceeding with confidence through a through staff review without facing the delays and uncertainty of the entire PUD process. As with all significant development projects, there are technical considerations and general public concerns related to the development of the Stromberger Property. We are confident that the public concerns can be addressed through the Planning and Zoning Board approval of a unified Master Plan (and development phases that are proposed as PUD's); and that the - 1 - technical concerns affecting uses by right can be addressed by the City Staff through the subdivision and IP site plan review processes; given the rigorous performance standards, landscape and setback requirements, and land use restrictions of the IP District. In summary, the proposed rezoning of this property gives the public the same "quality control" assurances as under the Land Development Guidance System; gives the applicant a higher degree of certainty regarding allowed uses; allows the option at any time of proposing development of individual building sites either as a PUD through the Land Development Guidance System, or - if applicable - as a use by right; and allows both the private and public sectors to become more responsive to economic development opportunities. We therefore respectfully request approval of the zoning as requested. - 2 - • 0 Reason for Request: (Please attach additional sheets if more space is needed.) See attached.
