Prospect Street. The site is zoned B-L, Limited Business. RECOMMENDATION: Approval. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This project consists of an 11-unit motel to be incorporated into existing vacant space at the Prospect Plaza. Also included in the project is the existing Green Pepper Restaurant and the existing laundro- mat. The preliminary plan was approved at the October 24 Board meeting, with the condition that 45 degree parking be incorporated along the front of the building, so that additional landscaping could be provided. The applicant has provided additional landscaping along the front of the building without re -designing the parking area. Staff believes that the additional landscaping, as well as the new canvas canopy for the building is a vast improvement over the approved preliminary and that the final plan is in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary.

Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: RH; existing apartment buildings S: BL; University Park Holiday Inn E: BL, RH; existing apartment buildings W: RH; existing CSU parking area The preliminary plan was approved at the October 24 Board meeting, with the condition that 45 degree parking be incorporated, so that additional landscaping could be provided. 2. Land Use: The proposed final plan is in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary plan. 3. Design: The applicant proposes to retain the existing sign and continue the same color scheme that is used on the building in the signage. An additional green canvas canopy, (matching the existing Green Pepper canopy) has been added in front of the motel and laundromat. Landscaping has been added at both sides of this canopy. Two other landscape islands have been added along the front of the building in the parking area and trees have been added to the islands at the west and east ends of the building. A total of three parking spaces have been lost along the building's frontage, due to the additional landscaping. Two additional street trees have been added along the Prospect frontage and the island at the east end of the site's frontage has been added. Additional shrubs have also been added to the existing landscape island along Prospect. The existing landscape timbers that were installed along Prospect with the Green Pepper's landscape plan are being removed by the applicant. These timbers are attached to the existing curbing along the street side and pose a potential safety hazard to passing vehicles. The removal of these timbers will necessitate the re -grading of the landscape bed, so that plant materials and other landscape materials can be retained with the existing curbing. Overall, the amount of landscape materials and area has increased (approximate 30% increase in area and amount of materials) over what was shown on the approved preliminary plan. The provision of additional landscaping, as well as the incorporation of the new canvas canopy, makes for an improved building facade, improved screening of both the building and parking areas and a No Text No Text 6r / o ftW .16?

The objective of the Prospect Plaza P.U.D. is to enable the owner to install eleven motel units in the existing commercial building located at 304 West Prospect, Fort Collins, Colorado. The "footprint" of the building will remain unchanged. The motel units will be constructed entirely within the existing space. The commercial building formerly housed a billiard parlor and video game facility. This use caused several management problems with the Prospect Plaza Apartments including; loitering, noise associated with customer use in the late evening hours, additional traffic in the late evening hours, and other problems associated with groups of people having congregated in the area. With the proposed motel, these problems would be eliminated. In addition, management of the motel can be carried out with the existing management facilities and personnel for the Prospect Plaza Apartments. The motel is more consistent with the uses in the area including the Prospect Plaza Apartments, the Green Pepper Restaurant, and the University Park Holiday Inn. The motel is not a permitted use in the existing zone necessitating this P.U.D. application. However, use of the subject property as a motel is substantially more compatible with other land uses in the area and will be a desirable upgrading of property utilization. 2. Parking Plan. At the present time, there are 59 plus 3 motorcycle and one handicapped parking spaces available on the site for use by the occupants of the commercial building at 304 West Prospect including the Green Pepper Restaurant, the proposed motel, and laundromat. With the replacement of the billiard and game facilities with a motel, the parking demand should actually decrease. An Il-unit motel would general 11 additional vehicles on the site. The billiard parlor and video -game room generated a far greater traffic, particularly on weekend evenings. Details of the parking layout and location is as shown on the site plan. One additional handicapped space will be added immediately adjacent to the handicapped accessible motel unit. 3. Landscape Plan. Landscaping was recently added when the Green Pepper Restaurant opened. All available space for landscaping the site has been accomplished. No additional landscaping is proposed except for the modifications to the landscaped area next to Prospect Street mentioned at Conceptual Review. _ �..�.: '�' J 1 • ., ,• � �; ... r, x..: _ _. __. � .. ,A ._. - ,._. � - ._ � _ �_ } i �. t i 4 .- � A� i. § � .F t SAC: .� \ 1 £; ' S � } �� .� .� s a' :� - - 9- o dt' S F .!1 3 R� 'J" f A fir h -� S ' � �.F,. � } 4f ck., s't �^rt;:.., r k \� s � �. -r- � �� _, a � �; j _ '' - t �. �' �; � _ � �. 1 � / , �' ' 1� E --- � "��,a _ • �`�` � i !$a'$c6 ,af S 3 � DODGE pr d Hai_ i, ._.' l 73 J �1 } A15P �I t - o � Y 3 mclfotcYCL� A,, 1� T ts II�t I �. .� p':� �xlsfil�c� i ��►� ��n � II uu1 , I�ot�� Igo' + 4+ WALI,�_ -. 3-J -A- �- I;X1-mot, vll�l� Ikll,�t c - P X M�t�rz 11 �_/ i-.
