RE: Planning Objectives for M&O Tire and Automotive Service Center Urban Design
Preliminary/Final P.U.D. Planning
The proposed M&O Tire and Automotive Service Center P.U.D. is located south of Suite Aferson Street
Kensington Drive and east of Mason Street. The project as planned, serves two Fort Collins,Colorado 80524
PHONE(303)224.5828
functions. The north half of the 1.36 acre site will include a 4,000 square foot FAX(303)224-2956
automotive center with associated parking, while the south half of the site is designed
as a parking lot intended to serve the existing McDonalds restaurant. The two land
uses are separated by a small detention facility.
Surrounding land sues include Mini U Storage located north of Kensington Drive,
Jiffy Lube is located east of the site, McDonalds restaurant borders the property on
the south and BMC West Building Materials Center is located to the west across
Mason Street. The project utilizes shared access drives with McDonalds off of Mason
Street and with Jiffy Lube off of Kensington Drive. The project scores 52% on the
Auto-Related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart D gaining points for not locating
at the intersection of two arterials, taking access from a non-arterial street, providing
joint parking opportunities and for being contiguous to existing urban development.
City Land Use Policies that support the proposed development include:
64. Alternative transportation modes such as pedestrian and bike access shall be
planned
65. Neighborhood service centers should locate in areas served by existing water
and sewer facilities ....
66. Neighborhood service centers should locate at the intersection of a collector
and an arterial.
We believe the proposed M&O Tire and Automotive Service Center P.U.D. is well
suited to this infill site. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to
working with you throughout the development review process.
Sincerely,
RIPLEY ASSOCIATES
