1ST BANK at HARMONY MARKET
Statement of Planning Objectives
August 31, 1991
This 1st Bank facility is proposed on approximately 2.9 acres at the southwest corner
of Harmony Road and Lemay Avenue as one of the "pad sites" at the Harmony Market PUD.
Construction will be phased, with extensive perimeter landscaping, a well finished modular
building, and much of the permanent parking lot completed in Phase I. The permanent bank
building is expected to be completed three to five years after Phase I is occupied.
Employment by 1st Bank at this facility is estimated at 8± initially, and up to 20± upon
completion of the permanent facility.
As established with earlier filings at Harmony Market, a Business Service use such as
1st Bank is appropriate at this location, and is consistent with the applicable Land Use Policies
of the City of Fort Collins, including those policies promoting maximum utilization of land
within the city; discouraging commercial development from gaining primary access from
College Avenue; giving preferential consideration to urban development proposals with are
contiguous to existing development within the city limits; and locational criteria for
commercial/business types of uses.
The proposed plan is also consistent with the goals and design guidelines outlined for
the pad sites by City Staff and the owners of Harmon.y Market. The scale of the proposed
buildings forms a transition between the larger anchor users at Harmony Market and the
residential uses to the north. The use of flat roofs keeps the building height lower, and
increases the probability that a large tree in the center of the site can be saved. Site lighting
and bicycle parking are planned to meet the Harmony Market Design Guidelines; and the major
signage on the buildings and on the existing monument sign structure will be wall or facia
mounted individual letters. Some secondary signage will include illuminated cabinets on brick
pedestals. Extensive perimeter landscaping along Lemay and the on-site service road is
planned in character with the landscape improvements made with Pace, Builders Square, and
Steele's.
Development of the site is scheduled to begin in late 1992, with completion of the
permanent building targeted between 1996 and 1998.
