COMMENTS:
1. Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: RL; existing residential (Woodland Park Estates PUD)
S: HC; existing technological park (Harmony Technology Park)
W: HC; existing office/industrial (LSI)
E: POL; vacant land
This property was annexed into the City as part of the Harmony Annexation No.
3 in October, 1977; also, all of the Harmony Annexation No. 4 in November,
1977; also, all of the Harmony Annexation No. 5 in December, 1982.
The majority of the subject subdivision request was subdivided and platted as
the Preston -Kelley Subdivision that was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Board on December 19, 1978. The northeasterly 11.25 acres (annexed as the
Harmony Annexation No. 5) is currently unplatted.
2. Purpose of the Subdivision:
The purpose for the platting of PRESTON-KELLEY 2"d SUBDIVISION is to
subdivide the property into 2 lots on a property that presently is the 1-lot Preston -
Kelley Subdivision. The 2-lot subdivision plat will create a lot that is 94.37 acres
in size (Lot 1) and a lot that is 70.10 acres in size (Lot 2). Staff has determined
that there is no detriment to the development plan associated with the platting of
2 lots.
3. Article 2 - Administration:
The PRESTON-KELLEY 2nd SUBDIVISION, Project Development Plan (PDP)
complies with the applicable requirements of the LUC, specifically the procedural
requirements located in Division 2.1 - General Procedural Requirements,
Division 2.2 - Common Development Review Procedures for Development
Applications, and Section 2.4 - Project Development Plan located in Article 2 -
Administration.
4. Article 3 - General Development Standards:
The PRESTON-KELLEY 2" SUBDIVISION complies with the applicable
requirements of the LUC, specifically the plat requirements located in Section
3.3.1 - Plat Standards located in Article 3 - General Development Standards.

A. The subdivision plat is in compliance with Section 3.3.1(A) General
Provisions in that-
1 ) The subdivision plat will be filed and recorded only after having been
approved by the Director of Planning, with such approval evidenced in
writing on the plat and signed by the City Clerk.
2) Except with respect to property which is platted as an official
subdivision (or part thereof), no building permit or certificate of
occupancy shall be issued for construction of any new principal
building or no act which changes the use of any building shall be
permitted until the subdivision plat is filed and recorded in the City of
Fort Collins.
B. The subdivision plat is in compliance with Section 3.3.1(B) Lots in that:
1) There is no minimum lot size requirement in the HC District, each lot
has direct vehicular access to public streets (East Harmony Road
and/or County Road 9), and the side lot lines are substantially at right
angles or radial to the street lines.
2) The general layout of lots, roads, driveways, utilities, drainage facilities
and other services on the property have been previously established

Reservations and Dedications in that:

County Road 9 were previously dedicated with the Preston -Kelley
Subdivision plat and the drainage and utility easements necessary to
serve this lot will be dedicated with the PRESTON-KELLEY 2nd
SUBDIVISION plat, if approved and filed.
Future additional ROW for East Harmony Road and County Road 9
may be needed on this property if the State and the City determine
that street improvements are required. Staff is recommending a
condition of approval that states:

additional street ROW for East Harmony Road and/or County

HC — Harmony Corridor Zoning District.

requirements located in Division 2.1 - General Procedural Requirements,
