RECOMMENDATION: Approval with conditions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting preliminary approval for a fast food restaurant, standard restaurant, gas station/car wash, and retail/service land uses on 4.5 acres located at the northwest corner of College Avenue and Harmony Road. The City's GOALS AND OBJECTIVES and LAND USE POLICIES PLAN encourages urban development adjacent to existing urban development where utility, transportation and other urban services are readily available. Generous landscape setbacks are provided along both arterial street frontages and the buildings on the site are designed to be architecturally compatible. Two unresolved traffic issues still exist dealing with installation of a raised median in College Avenue and approval of the right turn -in -only access point. Conditions are recommended which address these traffic concerns. OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT 300 LaPorte Ave. • P 0. Box 580 • Fort Collins. Coioraco 80522 • = = -- SERVICES, PLANNING DEPARTMENT Gateway at Harmony Road P & Z Meeting - February Page 2 COMMENTS 1. Background: P.U.D.- Preliminary, #1-88B 27, 1989 The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: HB - Mini -warehouse storage HB - Undeveloped; (Proposed retail/service uses in the Auto Avenue Mall P.U.D.) S: HB - Undeveloped (Proposed retail in the Arbor Plaza P.U.D.) E: BP - gas station/convenience store BP - undeveloped W: HB - Retail (Wickes Lumber) This property was annexed into the City as part of the Horsetooth - Harmony Annexation on July 5, 1978. The Planning and Zoning Board approved Enter- prise Commercial P.U.D., consisting of retail and restaurant land uses April 30, 1981. That plan expired October 30, 1982. Kensington Auto Park P.U.D. was proposed for the property, approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on November 18, 1985 and subsequently expired November 18, 1986. A master plan and first phase preliminary plan consisting of fast food, auto -related and retail land uses was submitted for review in December, 1987. The project was withdrawn because of an inability to resolve traffic concerns and project access. 2. Land Use: The City's GOALS AND OBJECTIVES and LAND USE POLICIES PLAN encourages urban development adjacent to existing urban development where utility, transportation and other urban services are readily available. The project scores 56% on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial point chart. Credit is earned for being located on a site larger than two acres, taking its primary access from a non -arterial street and for being contiguous to existing urban development and joint parking. 3. Neighborhood Compatibility The project is surrounded by existing and proposed commercial development. Neighborhood compatibility has not been an issue and no neighborhood meeting was required. 4. Desi n Buildings, circulation and landscape areas are arranged in a way that separates each land use, while still allowing shared parking during peak demand. Gateway at Harmony Road P.U.D.- Preliminary, #1-88B P & Z Meeting - February 27, 1989 Page 3 Generous landscape setbacks are provided along both College and Harmony Road street frontages. Special landscape treatment is provided at the College/Harmony intersection emphasizing the importance of an attractive gateway entrance to Fort Collins. Street trees, landscape berming, and shrubbery combine to provide low level buffering and visual variety along the arterial street frontages. The project design objectives in regard to architectural treatment of the buildings indicates that the two major users, Amoco and McDonalds restaurant, will utilize the same building materials, although the building forms will be the corporate standard for each. Other buildings on the site as well as sign bases and trash enclosures will use building materials and colors compatible with Amoco and McDonalds. Project signage includes three free standing signs along College Avenue and one on the Harmony Road frontage. In addition, McDonalds will have a menu board, directional signage (less than 4 sq. ft. each), and McDonald logos on three sides of the building. The raised beams on the McDonald roofline will be lighted, however, the illumination will be half that of the existing McDonald's restaurant on College. The Amoco gas canopy will have the corporate name with red, white and blue striping. The food shop and car wash will have identification signage as well as the corporate striping. The proposed signage meets the requirements of the Fort Collins sign code. 5. Transportation The site is surrounded by College Avenue (state highway -major arterial), Harmony Road (major arterial), Mason Street (arterial), and Kensington Street (commercial collector). The intersections of Harmony/College and Mason/Harmony are currently signalized. There is a potential for a signal at the Kensington/College intersection. There are two proposed access points from the project to Kensington Drive, a point of access from Mason Street, and a right turn -in -only access point from College Avenue. Considerable analysis have been conducted by the applicants, City staff, and the State Highway Department regarding the transportation impact of this project. While the access points to Mason Street and Kensington Street meet City design standards and have been justified from a traffic engineering standpoint, there are two traffic issues yet unresolved regarding College Avenue. First, according to the Traffic Study, the development of this site will require the redesign of the existing striped median in College Avenue to accommodate left -turning movements to Kensington Street and to provide for double left -turning movements to Harmony Road. The State Highway Depart- ment has stated (see letter from Douglas Ramos to Mike Davis, dated February 8, 1989) that these left turn movements could not safely be accommodated without a raised median in College Avenue. Secondly, the applicant is proposing a right turn -in -only access on College Avenue. Both the installation of the raised median and the right turn -in -only access point is inconsistent with current City Council policy and the South College Gateway at Harmony Road P.U.D.- Preliminary, #1-88B P & Z Meeting - February 27, 1989 Page 4 Access Plan as adopted by City Council. This Plan has not yet been adopted by the State. The Colorado Department of Highways staff has indicated that the Plan is not acceptable in its current form due to the condition that was added by the City Council which stated the raised medians in College Avenue would not be installed until other road improvements were made in the area, including the extension of JFK Boulevard and Kensington Street. The State Highway Department and City transportation planning staff believes that the raised median improvement and right turn -in -only access point are justified and are needed for this development. However, due to the fact that both of these improvements are inconsistent with the South College Avenue Access Plan and City Council policy on the installation of the raised medians, the Staff cannot at this time recommend unconditional approval of the Gateway P.U.D. The City Council is currently reviewing a request from the members of the Planning and Zoning Board and the applicants that further clarification be provided on these two traffic issues. It is not expected that resolution of these issues will be available by the hearing on February 27th. The staff believes that it is appropriate for the Planning and Zoning Board to proceed with reviewing the proposed development plan without resolution of these two traffic issues by placing the following two addition on the approval of the project: 1. That the applicants gain the approval of the State Highway Department of the proposed right turn -in -only access point and meet the requirements of the State and City in terms of necessary street and traffic improvements which are required to offset the impacts of the proposal, including, but not limited to, raised medians in College Avenue. 2. That the approval by the City Council and State Highway Department be granted for certain proposed amendments to the South College Access Plan which have been deemed necessary and desirable for the Gateway P.U.D., including raised medians and the right turn -in -only access point from College Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: The Gateway at Harmony Road Preliminary Plan is supported by the City's GOALS AND OBJECTIVES and the LAND USE POLICIES PLAN and meets the development criteria of the LDGS. Staff recommends approval of The Gateway at Harmony Road P.U.D., Preliminary, #1-88B with the following conditions: 1. That the applicants gain the approval of the State Highway Department of the proposed right turn -in -only access point and meet the requirements of the State and City in terms of necessary street and traffic improvements r Gateway at Harmony Road P.U.D.- Preliminary, #1-88B P & Z Meeting - February 27, 1989 Page 5 which are required to offset the impacts of the proposal, including, but not limited to, raised medians in College Avenue. 2. That the approval by the City Council and State Highway Department be granted for certain proposed amendments to the South College Access Plan which have been deemed necessary and desirable for the Gateway P.U.D., including raised medians and the right turn -in -only access point from College Avenue. TO: Members of the Planning and Zoning Board FROM: Joe Frank, Assistant Planning Director - DATE: February 22, 1989 % RE: Gateway at Harmony Road P.U.D. Two conditions for approval have been recommended by City Staff on the Gateway at Harmony Road P.U.D. These conditions are in regard to certain needed improvements to College Avenue including raised center medians and the approval of a right turn -in -only access from College Avenue. Further clarification by City staff is offered on these two conditions as they relate to phasing of the project. The phasing of the land uses within the project will affect the timing for certain improvements and approvals. The applicants have proposed phasing the project in four stages as follows: Lot 1 - Gas Service Lot 2 - Standard Restaurant Lot 3 - Fast Food Lot 4 - Retail Service From a traffic flow standpoint, the installation of the right turn -in -only is required for the Standard Restaurant (Lot 2) and the Fast Food Restaurant (Lot 3) only. The Gas Service (Lot 1) and the Retail Service (Lot 4) can take their access solely from Kensington and Mason streets. Therefore, the conditions for approval recommended by Staff regarding right turn -in -only access apply only to the Standard Restaurant (Lot 2) and the Fast Food Restaurant (Lot 3). In other words, the development of the Gas Service (Lot 1) and the Retail Service (Lot 4) could proceed without the approval of the City Council, State Highway Department and City Staff regarding the right turn -in -only access point to College Avenue. The improvements to College Avenue, including center medians, are needed to accommodate development of the Fast Food Restaurant (Lot 3), Standard Restaurant (Lot 2) and the Gas Service (Lot 1). The raised center medians are needed to safely accommodate left turns from College Avenue to Kensington Street and double left turns from College Avenue to Harmony Road. The median improvement would not appear to be required for the Retail Service (Lot 4) as it is oriented toward Mason Street. Therefore, the conditions suggested by Staff regarding the approval of the City Council and State Highway Department of certain College Avenue improvements, including center medians, is applicable to all phases of the project, with the exception that the median improvements in College Avenue would not apply to the Retail Service (Lot 4). The staff recommends that these points of clarification be added to the Board's motion on the proposed planned unit development. Thank you. 300 LaPorte Avenue - P.O.

The Gateway is conceived as a mixed use business service and roadside commercial project As South Fort Collins develops and businesses locate within the area, food and gas services become a necessary element to achieve consumer satisfaction and to reduce trips out of the area for those services. This P.U.D. is geared to provide basic services in the ever expanding market along College Avenue. This development at the intersection of Harmony and College is not intended to be a neighborhood convenience center as defined in the recently developed guidelines pending approval by City Council. The neighborhood convenience center criteria is developed, as we understand, for those centers which develop adjacent to residential neighborhoods. This project is located in an highly developed com- nlercial area with regional draw characteristics. The P.U.D is submitted under the requirements set forth in the Land Development Guidance System as they relate to Business Services and Auto -Related and Road- side Commercial Uses. The Point Charts E and D are included for review and documentation. POINT EXPLANATIONS -- POINT CHART D AUTO -RELATED & ROADSIDE COMMERCIAL A.

"The City shall promote maximum Utilization of the Land Within the City." EXPLANATION: The property is situated on the west side of College Avenue, an im- portant N-S arterial street, and is contiguous with its boundaries to existing urban development. POLICY 21. "All levels of commercial development, including convenience...shop- ping which have significant negative transportation impacts on South College Avenue will be discouraged from gaining their primary access from College Avenue." EXPLANATION: While the project contains a limited right -in only from College, the primary access is from Mason and Kensington. POLICY 22. "Preferential consideration shall be given to urban development pro- posals which are contiguous to existing development within the City limits." EXPLANATION: The project enjoying contiguity with existing urban development sup- ports this policy. By its location the project takes advantage of existing urban level services, utilities and facilities, including police and fire protection, water, sewer, electricity, gas, telephone and cable TV. It will be served by ur- ban level streets with curb gutter and sidewalks. POLICY 26. "Availability of existing services shall be used as a criteria in de- termining the location of higher intensity areas in the City." EXPLANATION: The property is served by existing gas, water, electricity, telephone, sanitary and storm drainage facilities. POLICY 49. "The City's Land Use Policies Plan shall be directed toward minimizing the use of private automobiles and toward alleviating and mitigating the air quality impacts of concentrated use of automobiles." EXPLANATION: The project, located on a major transit route allows for but trans- portation. The services provided in the P.U.D. are intended to service employees within the work area as well as transit pass -through -uses. Ms. Linda Ripley GATEWAY AT HARMONY ROAD December 2, 1988 Page 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project located at the intersection of Harmony and College provides the oppor- tunity to plan an important land area within an overall P.U.D. The uses are con- sistent with those found along College Avenue which are geared to serve users that travel along the major regional draw area of College Avenue. College Avenue has long been recognized as the major retail and employment area within Fort Collins. With the exception of widening a portion of College Avenue, all of the major street improvements have been completed for this property. A limited "right -in" only access cut occurs on College Avenue providing access to McDonald's and the standard restaurant. The primary access points occur on Mason Street and Kensington Drive. The uses on site consist of a McDonald's fast food restuarant with exposure on three sides -- College, Harmony, and Mason. Generous setbacks ranging from 45' along Harmony Road, 85' at the intersection of Harmony and College and a minimum of 50' along College occur surrounding McDonald's. This green space will be planted with street trees and smaller decorative shrubs and will have berms at key areas. The building is set back approximately 210' from College Avenue and approximately 70' from Harmony and approximately 140' from Mason. Signage proposed is standard and typical of the McDonald's Corporation as is a requirement for proper marketing especially given the fact that the building is set back over 210 feet from the intersection. The other known use at this preliminary stage is the Amoco Gas Station with an automatic Car Wash Bay located at the intersection of College and Kensington. This facility gets its access from Kensington Drive. The station will have four stations with the intention of expanding to six stations. The canopy covers the fill areas and the food shop portion of the use. The car wash allows for entrance from the gas service area and exits on to the adjacent off -site private drive. Signage is standard and typical of this franch ized use. The standard restaurant located central to the project achieves access from College through the limited access and from Mason and Kensington. The user is unknown at this time. A Final P.U.D. will not be submitted unti a user is located. Retail/Service Buildings a and b, totaling 11,800 square feet are intended to serve as support type uses, as are indicated in both submitted point charts. Users are not known at this time. The Final Submission will better define uses and time frame for actual development. It is intended that both the McDonald's store, the Amoco Station will become First Phases to the project. Respectfully, GEFROH HATTMAN INC. / James A. Gefroh Pres i ¢lent kam /! enc. GATEWAY P.U.D.

Collins, CO 80522 Dear Ms. Ripley: OF co Larimer Co., The Gateway at Harmony Road P.U.D. NW of Harmony Rd. and 287 DOH File 45100 We have reviewed the Gateway at Harmony Rd. P.U.D. (previously reviewed on 1/12/88), and we have the following comments: 1. Projected traffic on S.H. 287 indicates the need for 140-foot total right of way, 70 feet each side of the highway centerline. Since the existing width along this property is 50 feet west of the centerline, additional width to meet the projected need should be protected by reservation or, preferably, dedication, as permitted by regulations. 2. Access to this property from S.H. 287 has been reviewed in relation to the Draft South College Access Control Plan. The only access to S.H. 287 which has been approved to serve this P.U.D. is the Kensington Street access along the north side of this property. Based on our review of the Access Plan, we cannot support the proposed right -in access from S.H. 287• Construction of the Kensington St. access and the right -turn lane for Harmony Road require Access Permits. We agree that a southbound right -turn deceleration lane should be provided on S.H. 287 for Harmony Road. The permit for Kensington St. was initiated by the City but never completed. 3. The previous site plan for this development indicated that surface runoff flows toward the highway drainage system. That system is for the protection of the State Highway right of way and is not intended to accommodate drainage from abutting properties beyond that which has historically been accepted. Therefore, we ask that on -site detention of surface runoff be provided so that the historical runoff rate will not be exceeded due to this development. 4. The previous landscape plan showed landscaping within the State Highway right of way. We allow such landscaping provided that it is maintained by the adjacent private property owner, does not impair sight distance at any highway access, does not present a safety hazard, and would not unreasonably conflict with future highway expansion. New trees are normally not permitted since they can be difficult to relocate. LINDA RIPLEY December 15, 1988 Page Two 5. The previous site plan also indicated that a connection to an existing 42-inch line in the S.H. 287 right of way is to be made. This utility tap requires a Utility Permit from this office.

P.U.D. , lst and 2nd Filings NW of Harmony Rd. and 287 DOH File 45100 We have reviewed the Gateway at Harmony Rd., lst and 2nd Final Filings, and we have the following comments. This P.U.D. has been reviewed by this office on several occasions dating back to January 1988. Our comments have addressed a number of issues involving S.H. 287, including: additional highway right of way, access to S.H. 287, surface runoff control, landscaping along S.H. 287, and new utility line connections. More recently this P.U.D. has been discussed in relation to the Draft South College Access Control Plan. Since the lst and 2nd Filing plans do not address surface runoff, landscaping, or utilities, we will limit the following comments to the access and right of way issues. Our District Engineer, Douglas Rames, has re-evaluated the proposed right -in -only access to this P.U.D. based on a 1/30/89 memorandum by Matt Delich. Due to this analysis and his concern about potential left -turn conflicts on Kensington St. without the requested access, he is now willing to allow it as shown on the Final P.U.D. plans with certain conditions. These conditions are as follows: 1. A raised median shall be constructed between Kensington St. and Harmony Rd. to physically prevent left -turn movements. 2. This median shall allow for double southbound left -turn lanes at Harmony Rd. and a northbound left -turn lane at Kensington St. 3. A southbound right -turn deceleration lane shall be provided for Kensington St., then continue to the Harmony Rd. intersection. In addition to the above conditions we are requesting that the necessary right of way for the ultimate long-range highway width and detailed design plans be provided. Additional right of way to achieve the 75- or 76-foot width identified by Matt Delich should be dedicated. Construction quality plans for all widening along S.H. 287 should be prepared to fully identify , JOE FRANK February 14, 1989 Page Two how the access -related improvements will be accomplished. This is especially important at Harmony Rd. due to the existing signal poles, curb and gutter, and guardrail which will be affected by this highway widening and the transition south of the intersection. These plans will be required for an Access Permit to be approved by this office. We look forward to continued coordination with the City on this project and the South College Access Control Plan. As noted in our 2/8/89 letter to Mike Davis, we hope to meet with the City to achieve a mutually acceptable plan. Please contact me at 350-2168 if you have any questions.

The trip generation for these land uses is shown in Table 1. The trip generation for the uses proposed in the Harmony Plaza. Site Acces_s_. Study, December 1987, is s_.hov:ln in Table 2. Using the daily generated trips, the newly proposed site will generate less traffic (91 percent) than that under the original proposal from the Above traffic report. The peak hours have varying degrees of reduction. The bottom of Table 1 shores the percent of the trip generation of the new proposal as compared to the trip generation in the original proposal. In all cases, the trip generation is less with the new proposal. For discussion purposes, the reduction is about 10 percent. This reduction vti 1 1 cause a. nominal reduction of the CM traffic assignments shownin the traffic report. For LU design purposes_., the 2010 Peak Hour Traffic shown in z Figure l can be used. This assumes full build -out of z the site, a small retail area north of Kensington, "' comparable developments on the east side of College >_ Avenue, and 2010 background traffic volumes on bath C-' College Avenue and Harmony Road. o Considerable analyses have been conducted regarding a signal at the College/Kensington intersection in the 0 South College Avenue Access Control Study, f4ovember CL 1983. This intersection Has been identified as having a potential signal. The above referenced site access cc study shoved that it is likely that signal warrants vjould be met at this location when there is significant LL development on this site. Hoviever, the critical concern < is whether the necessary geometrics can be achieved on ~ College Avenue and on Kensington Street. Figure 2 shows the geometrics on the streets surrounding this site Assuming the design volumes shown in Figure 1 and signal ti M control at the College/Harmony, College/ Kensington, and Harmony. M.=_kson intersections. It assumes a. right -in only from College Avenue approximately 200 feet north of Harmony Road, one access to Mason Street, and ttalo accesses. to Kensington Street. The eastbound left -turn lane requirement on Kensington with a signal at the College/Kensington intersection is minimum 140 feet, desirable 1510, with a cycle of 110 seconds.. This is the storage length from the stop bar. The site plan shows an access driveway to the south, 172 feet west of the stop bar. A second access drivev)ay to Kensington is shot.,in 93 feet further west. Based upon projected traffic volumes on Kensington, the continuation of the left -turn lane is not necessary. However, since Kensington is built to a uniform 40 foot width, it may be desirable to stripe the center lane of Kensington as a two way left -turn lane for the remainder to Mason Street. The double southbound left -turn lane on College Avenue at Harmony Road totals 430 feet. This is the minimum length required for this movement. The left - turn requirement for northbound College at Kensington is 160 feet. The design shown in Figure 2 shows that 170- 180 feet of storage are possible in this lane. The geometrics shown in Figure 2 are the long range needs at this site. There are likely to be some interim geometrics that can be accommodated on both College Avenue and Harmony Road.
