AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY II i EM NUMBER: 18
DATE: March 21, 1989
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Ted Shepard
SUBJECT:
Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 37 Rezoning 34.25 Acres of
the Emerson Acres Subdivision From R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential
(With PUD Condition) to R-L-P (Without PUD Condition). r
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance. The Planning and Zoning Board
voted unanimously to recommend approval at its regular meeting on January
23, 1989.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is a request to rezone the Emerson Acres subdivision (34.25 acres) to
remove a zoning condition requiring all development to be processed as a
planned unit development. The change would allow single family development
to occur as a "use -by -right" under the restrictions of R-L-P zoning. Staff
contends that the criteria of the R-L-P zone is sufficient protection of
the public interest in guiding development. The additional PUD review of
all development is not warranted. Development not allowed as a
"use -by -right" must still be processed as a PUD and reviewed against the
criteria of the Land Development Guidance System.
The Emerson Acres parcel was annexed into the City in 1984 and zoned R-L-P
with the condition that development occur as a planned unit development in
accordance with the Ordinances of the City of Fort Collins. The parcel is
located at the northeast corner of South Lemay Avenue and County Road #32
(Windsor Road). The annexation and zoning occurred when large areas were
being annexed into the City and the LOGS was still a relatively new
development review process. The City wanted to encourage the use of the
LDGS and thus placed PUD zoning conditions on annexed properties. The PUD
condition requires all development proposals to be processed according to
the criteria of the LDGS including detached, single family subdivisions.
Experience has shown that LDGS review of single family subdivisions is not
necessary to achieve the goals of the City.
The Emerson Acres Subdivision consists of five lots and is designed for
large, single family homes. The smallest lot is 3.74 --res.
