Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 178, 1988, Rezoning 44.6 Acres Known as West Fossil Creek, Tract B Rezoning, from the T Transition to the B-P Planned Business Zoning District. This is a request to rezone approximately 4.4 acres from T Transition to H-B Highway Business and to rezone approximately 44.6 acres from T Transition to B-P Planned Business. The property is located on the west side of South College Avenue in the vicinity of Fossil Creek Parkway. The property is presently undeveloped. APPLICANT: James Stewart and Associates 214 North Howes Fort Collins, CO 80524 OWNERS: U.S. 287 Limited and Foothills Office Park Limited 1624 Market Street, No. 204 Denver, CO 80202 DATE: December 20, 1988 1 -2- I ITEM NUMBER: 12 a- b BACKGROUND: The applicant, James Stewart and Associates, on behalf of the owners, U.S. 287 Limited and Foothills Office Park Limited, has submitted a written petition requesting the rezoning of approximately 49.0 acres located on the west side of South College Avenue in the vicinity of Fossil Creek Parkway. The request is to rezone approximately 4.4 acres from T Transition to H-B Highway Business and to rezone approximately 44.6 acres from T Transition to B-P Planned Business. The property is presently undeveloped. The property was annexed November 15, 1988. When the property was initially annexed, it was placed in the T Transition zoning district to allow the property owners some flexibility in determining future land uses. According to City Code, the City must rezone properties in the T Transition zoning district within 60 days of the request being heard by the Planning and Zoning Board. The B-P Planned Business district designation is for areas planned as a unit to provide business services while still protecting surrounding residential areas. The H-B Highway Business district designation is for automobile -oriented businesses. Given the properties' location along South College Avenue, it is likely that the property will eventually develop with a mix of retail/commercial and business service uses. The LAND USE POLICIES PLAN describes a regional/community shopping center as a "cluster of retail and service establishments designed to serve consumer demands from the community as a whole or larger." The retail/commercial land uses proposed for West Fossil Creek would fall under this definition. Under the locational criteria described in the plan, regional/community shopping centers should locate in areas easily accessible to residential areas, near transportation facilities that can offer the required access without exceeding the capacity of the existing transportation network, where they can be served by public transportation and in areas served by existing water and sewer facilities. The site addresses these locational criteria. Fossil Creek flows through the property at the southeast corner before crossing College Avenue. Other unique natural resource areas on the property include wetlands, existing ponds, significant vegetation, significant wildlife habitat, areas of steep topography and rock outcroppings. Staff is recommending that the rezoning be conditioned on the property being developed as a planned unit development under the criteria of the Land Development Guidance system to ensure that these environmentally sensitive areas are preserved or mitigated. Findings I. The requested B-P Planned Business and H-B Highway Business zoning designations are in conformance with the policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. A planned unit development condition would be appropriate for these zoning designations to ensure that development responds appropriately to environmentally sensitive areas on the site.
