HORSETOOTH-TIMBERLINE PROPERTY MASTER PLAN
Statement of Planning Objectives
September 28, 1988
The 32.24 acre Horsetooth-Timberline Property - located at a
key intersection in southeast Fort Collins - was previously
planned by another developer as the South Collins Tech Center. A
number of factors have indicated the need to formulate an amended
Master Plan for the property. These factors include:
- Consideration of a wider range of potential land uses -
including uses that provide needed services for the
residential areas developing in the area - is seen as an
important part of achieving an attractive, viable project at
this site.
- Conceptual drainage studies, existing and future utility
extensions, and future street intersection locations need to
be evaluated by both the City and property owners. These
elements are affected by development of the
Horsetooth-Timberline Property. A current Master Plan will
help in making decisions about future capital improvements
in the area.
The Horsetooth-Timberline Property Master Plan is intended as a
tool to assist in providing a desirable mix of land uses in an
attractive business park setting. The site represents an
opportunity to continue the high quality image, (both in visual
and economic terms) that exists in the vicinity of this
intersection.
The land use pattern indicated on the Horsetooth-Timberline
Property Master Plan is consistent with the adopted Land Use
Policies Plan of the City of Fort Collins regarding the location
of industrial or business service uses and regional/community
shopping centers. Although technically not at the intersection
of a collector and an arterial, the proposed plan is consistent
with the majority of the policies related to the location of
neighborhood service centers.
It is estimated that development of the site may begin in 1989
and continue through 1995. The land uses indicated would provide
employment for an estimated 800 persons.
