General Information:
The proposed use for the site is a multi-family apartment project. The site is 10.35 acres
and is located at the northwest corner of West Fairway Lane and South College Avenue.
The site is vacant and formerly housed a retail nursery. 9 buildings are proposed with a
total of 264 units located in 1 and 2-bedroom configurations.
The main entrance to the site will be from Fairway Lane, with a secondary emergency
access to the north. The main north-south drive is intended to be a street-like private drive
with detached sidewalks, tree lawns and parallel parking. The buildings are situated to form
blocks, with building placement parallel to the streets and edges. There is a major
pedestrian spine running east-west through the middle of the site that will connect College
Avenue to the Transit Center and Mason Trail. Located central and throughout the site are
amenities including a clubhouse with pool and BBQ area, a dog park, basketball and
pickleball courts, a tot lot and several pergolas with BBQ grills.
The site is bounded by the South Fort Collins Transit Center to the west, Spradley Barr Ford

Proposed landscaping for the site will consist of street trees in tree lawns and foundation
plantings consisting of shrubs and ornamental grasses. Most of the outdoor activity spaces
will consist of irrigated turf, with water-wise native seed in the remaining open space areas.
The three-story buildings will have high profile asphalt shingles, composite wood vertical,
horizontal and board and batten siding, composite wood facia and trim with stained wood
decks and columns. The architecture is consistent with the Land Use Code, with 6 building
types plus the clubhouse.
