Dear City Council Members;

This letter is written on behalf of the applicant for the
proposed New Note Partnership Annexations, in order to request
that the items be taken off the consent agenda for further
discussion.
We feel that it is important that the Council be aware of the
following considerations in in determining what, if any
conditions should be placed on the requested IL - Limited
Industrial Zoning District:
- For at least eight years, the City Planning Staff has agreed
that the characteristics of industrial uses and the
development of industrial business parks make it desirable
to have available an alternative to the full PUD review
process.
- Both the IL and IP zones now include the option of a three
to four week administrative plan review - including a public
hearing - if extensive setbacks and landscape standards are
met.
- The above option allows both the private and public sectors
to be more responsive to economic development opportunities,
while providing the "quality control" assurances normally
achieved through the PUD process.
- The IL and IP administrative review process have been highly
successful. The projects using this option are of a quality
at least equal to that achieved through the PUD process.
- The majority of the IL and IP areas in southeast Fort
Collins do not have a PUD condition attached to their
zoning.

The Applicant's proposed approach to the zoning of this
property is the same approach that is working very well at:
- Prospect East Business Park
- Golden Meadows Business Park
- OakRidge Business Park
- Hewlett Packard
- Collindale Business Park
We therefore respectfully request your approval of the
requested IL - Limited Industrial zoning without the PUD
condition recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board. We feel
that the Master Plan condition (similar to that included with the
IP zoning at OakRidge) represents a viable compromise between
unconditional IL and a total PUD condition.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Eldon Ward, resident
