HORSETOOTH BUSINESS PARK
Statement of Planning Objectives
February 4, 1991
The 32.24 acre Horsetooth Business Park — located at a key
intersection in southeast Fort Collins — was originally planned
by another developer as the South Collins Tech Center. In 1988 an
amended Master Plan for the property was approved by the Planning
and Toning Board. The Master Plan amendment now proposed will
allow the mix of land uses established in 1988 to be developed
around a more functional circulation system.
The range of potential land uses 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 Business Park. A
current Master Plan will help in making decisions about future
capital improvements in the area.
The Horsetooth Business Park 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 site.
The land use pattern indicated on the Master Plan is consistent
with the approved 1988 Master Plan, and 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.
Development of the site is scheduled to begin in 1991 and
continue through 1998. The land uses indicated would provide
employment for an estimated 800 persons.
Horsetooth Business Park First Filing — Proposed as a 40,000+
sq. ft. office, warehouse, maintenance, and storage facility for
Public Service Company of Colorado -- is a continuation of the
successful development program being implemented at Prospect East
Business Park by the W. W. Reynolds Companies.
