ARAPAHOE FARM
MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT
When the Arapahoe/Mountain Ridge Master Plan wag approved in
1987, a number of factors contributed to the land uses and
residential densities indicated on that document.
A key factor was that a large portion of the site was under
consideration for a City of Fort Collins community park to be
primarily used as a 'Youth Sports Center'. This use would have
had a significant impact on the character and potential intensity
of the remaining developable area, and the Master Plan prepared
at that time strived to maintain the flexibility to provide more
extensive multi --family and business service development in the
vicinity of the -Youth Sports Center', should that facility be
constructed at Arapahoe Farm.
Now, some three and one half years later, this site has been
eliminated from consideration as a 'Youth Sports Center', demand
for a variety single family housing types has remained strong in
the area (as witnessed by the replats in Regency Park), the
Harmony Road alignment has been better defined, and WoodCraft
Homes has become actively involved in the project. All of these
factors have led to the minor modifications in land use and
densities proposed on the Amended Master Plan summarized below:
-- The maximum residential dwelling units anticipated has been
decreased by over 300, to a total of 996.
-- Anticipated floor area of non --residential use.s has been
decreased by 40,000 sq. ft. +.
Areas and specific locations of land use bubbles have been
amended to reflect the Harmony alignment, and WoodCraft's
planned development program.
