ROCK CREEK PUD Statement of Planning Objectives August 2, 1993 Planning Opportunities The planning of the Rock Creek property has presented an opportunity to create a neighborhood area that may achieve many of the adopted Goals and Objectives, Land Use Policies, elements of the Fort Collins Area Transportation Plan, and early findings of the Neighborhood Compatibility study. The cooperative efforts of two property owners to jointly master plan the 134 acres t comprising Rock Creek have resulted in a plan that establishes a neighborhood character for the south Timberline Corridor. The proposed plan is consistent with adopted City of Fort Collins Land Use Policies regarding the location of low density residential uses. City Policy states that: Low Density residential uses should locate in areas: Which have easy access to major employment centers; Within walking distance to an existing or planned elementary school; Within walking distance to an existing or planned neighborhood park... and; In which a collector street affords the primary access. Project Goals The proposed Overall Development Plan has been prepared with a number of planning goals and concepts in mind; giving special attention to elements affecting neighborhood compatibility: I. Create a successful neighborhood. Provide the framework for a viable master planned community by defining a number of development parcels that can accommodate a mix of housing types - likely to be constructed by multiple builders/developers - with the potential to share amenities, storm drainage improvements, and/or other common elements. - Recognize the section wide land use mix with complementary uses within easy walking distance of each other. urban design, inc. Allow flexibility for the development of a range of housing types at Rock Creek, with the ability to respond to changing market demands. Design open space, circulation, drainage, and utility systems that respect the site's topography and other natural features. Create a varied and interesting streetscape. Use design techniques that minimize "back fences" along neighborhood identity streets. II. While recognizing traditional traffic management needs, create a circulation system that - where practical - makes bike and pedestrian access between uses as attractive and convenient as automobile access. Provide a system that accommodates pedestrian throughout the proposed neighborhood safely and conveniently, and contributes to the attractiveness of the development. Include design characteristics - such as special entry/identity street treatment - which lend clarity and identity to residential neighborhoods. - Provide neighborhood street systems that promote neighborhood integrity, by restricting extraneous motorized traffic from low density residential areas. Design a collector street system that can gather traffic from a neighborhood and carry it to an arterial street; yet divert "through" traffic away from local traffic. - Plan a viable, integrated bike and pedestrian system for the Rock Creek community, including safe, direct pedestrian and bike access from residential to the school/park complex. III. Provide land use transitions and creative relationships between uses. Protect defined neighborhood areas from the intrusion of activities which may have negative impacts upon residents; particularly traffic generated by more intensive uses. Plan an integrated system of open spaces including the major recreational area formed by the proposed city park and the elementary/junior high school as a neighborhood focal point and land use buffer. Phased Implementation. Construction of the first phases of development at Rock Creek is expected to begin in the spring of 1994, and continue through the year 2000. 0 • ROCK CREEK PUD OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROPERTY DESCRIPTION A tract of land located in the West Half of Section 5, Township 6 North, Range 68 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of Colorado being particularly described as follows: Considering the West line of the Northwest Quarter of said Section 5 as bearing, South 00009'20" East and with all bearings contain herein relative thereto: Commencing at the Northwest corner of said Section 5; thence along said West line, South 00009'20" East, 1734.44 feet to the POINT OF BEGINNING; thence, North 89150'40" East, 2667.32 feet to the East line of the Northwest Quarter of said Section 5; thence along said East line, South 00046'35" East, 868.14 feet; thence, South 89013'23" West, 149.98 feet; thence, South 87118'25" West, 65.75 feet; thence, South 78158'57" West, 152.88 feet; thence, South 85106'16" West 74.09 feet; thence, South 59057'29" West, 67.73 feet; thence, South 83006'45" West, 179.32 feet; thence, North 72004'35" West, 111.80 feet; thence, South 41 °49'54" West, 59.22 feet; thence, South 66140'12" West, 145.65 feet; thence, North 53055'33" West, 164.36 feet; thence, North 18052'31" West, 57.31 feet; thence, North 89144'30" West, 57.38 feet; thence, South 10018'07" East, 4.36 feet; thence, South 81 032'23" West, 319.66 feet; thence, North 00007'22" West, 52.74 feet; thence, North 56057'59" West, 161.15 feet; thence, North 49153'41" West, 81.93 feet; thence, South 39 ° 13'31 " West, 179.72 feet; thence, North 89144'30" West, 885.24 feet to the West Quarter corner of said Section 5; thence along the West line of the Northwest Quarter of said Section 5, North 00009'20" West, 866.21 feet to the Point of Beginning.
