The project is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint and promotes transportation policies. COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 N. College Ave. P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 (303) 221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT • • Bank One at Harmony Market PUD - Final #54-87W September 26, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: R-L-P; Existing Convenience Store (7-Eleven) S: R-P; Vacant E: R-P; Vacant (Approved For Red Robin Standard Restaurant) W: R-L-P; Existing Church (Front Range Baptist Church) The site is Parcel S of the Oak -Cottonwood Farm Overall Development Plan, approved in 1987. The parcel is not a part of the Harmony Market Shopping Center P.U.D. 2. Harmony Corridor Moratorium: Unlike Harmony Market Shopping Center, Parcel S of the Oak - Cottonwood Farm was not exempted from the six-month moratorium on "retail and commercial" development within the Harmony Corridor. As land uses however, banks and offices were defined by City Council Ordinance Number 103-1994 as not being "retail or commercial" and, therefore, allowed to be processed as a P.U.D. during the moratorium. 4. Land Use: Parcel S of the Oak -Cottonwood Farm Overall Development Plan is designated as "Retail -Office." The request for a P.U.D. featuring a bank and office building, is, therefore, in compliance with the Oak -Cottonwood Farm O.D.P. The request was evaluated by the absolute and variable criteria of the Business Services Point Chart of the L.D.G.S. The P.U.D. satisfies the one absolute requirement by gaining primary access from a street other than South College Avenue. On the variable criteria, the P.U.D. achieves a score of 60% which exceeds the minimum required score of 50%. Points were earned for the following: b. Being located outside the "South College Avenue Corridor." d. Being located on at least two acres of land. f. Having direct vehicular and pedestrian access between on -site parking areas and adjacent existing or future off -site parking areas which contain more than ten spaces. 0 • Bank One at Harmony Market PUD - Final #54-87W September 26, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 3 h. Having at least one -sixth of its property boundary contiguous to existing urban development. The proposed land uses associated with Bank One P.U.D. are supported by the performance on the Business Services Point Chart of the L.D.G.S. 5. Neighborhood Compatibility: A neighborhood information meeting was held on May 26, 1994, in conjunction with Golden Corral Restaurant and Outback Steakhouse. There were no major concerns raised by those attending the meeting. Since the proposed uses on the property conform to the Oak - Cottonwood Farm O.D.P., and the O.D.P. went through a rigorous review process, the P.U.D. is considered acceptable. A bank and office building are considered compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 6. Design: The primary design feature of the P.U.D. is that the bank building will feature a pitched roof and red brick exterior to match the Harmony Market Shopping Center. The roof will be a dark gray, laminate asphalt/fiberglass shingle. These design features are residential in both scale and character and contribute to blending the large anchor tenants in Harmony Market with the residential neighborhoods to the north. The office building will be two story and feature similar exterior materials. While the roof will not be as steep, it remains pitched and will use the same residential style shingles. The office building, like the bank building, contributes to the scaling down of the anchor tenants and helps blend the 50 acre commercial shopping center with the existing residential neighborhood to the west. In summary, Bank One P.U.D. is being planned as if it were part of Harmony Market Shopping Center. By using similar exterior materials, and by being residential in character and scale, the design is sensitive to the surrounding area. 7. Transportation: Parcel S gains access from Boardwalk Drive in direct alignment with the curb cut serving Harmony Market Shopping Center. There is no access onto Harmony Road. Future access is planned to the west in cooperation with Front Range Baptist Church. The Church has agreed to work with the developer on joint future access and shared parking. • • Bank One at Harmony Market PUD - Final #54-87W September 26, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 4 Traffic generated by Bank One P.U.D. has been accounted for in previous traffic studies conducted for the Oak -Cottonwood Farm area. In fact, the traffic study assumed the office building would be retail which has a higher trip generation rate. This traffic can be accommodated on the existing street system at no loss in the Level of Service at the Harmony/Boardwalk and the Boardwalk/access drive intersections. The traffic studies done for the 1994 proposals in Harmony Market Shopping Center (Red Robin, Tyco Oil, Golden Corral, Outback Steakhouse, Steele Is Expansion, Outpost/ Sunsport/Lee 's Cyclery) indicate that there is a need to lengthen time for the green left turn arrow for northbound Boardwalk to westbound Harmony. This left turn phase needs more time on Saturday only, particularly at the noon peak. The studies indicate that this turn movement is at Level of Service F although the balance of intersection remains at Level of Service C. The City's Transportation Department has been advised of this Saturday condition and is taking action accordingly. For Bank One P.U.D., the project is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. With sidewalk improvements along both streets, and bicycle parking for customers and employees, the P.U.D. promotes multi -modal transportation policies. 8. Findings of Fact/Conclusion In evaluating the request for Bank One Final P.U.D., Staff makes the following findings of fact: 1. The Final P.U.D. is in substantial conformance with the Preliminary P.U.D. 2. The request for banking services and offices conforms to the Oak -Cottonwood Farm Overall Development Plan. 3. The P.U.D. satisfies the All Development Criteria of the L.D.G.S. 4. The P.U.D. is supported by the performance on the Business Services Uses Point Chart of the L.D.G.S. 5. With residential scale and character, and similar materials as found in Harmony Market Shopping Center, the P.U.D. is compatible with the surrounding area. 6. The P.U.D. is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint and meets the City's transportation policies. • Bank One at Harmony Market PUD - Final #54-87W September 26, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 5 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Bank One at Harmony Market P.U.D., Final, #54-87W, subject to the following condition: 1. The Planning and Zoning Board approves this planned unit development final plan upon the condition that the development agreement, final utility plans, and final P.D.D., plans for the planned unit development be negotiated between the developer and City staff and executed by the developer prior to the second monthly meeting (November 14, 1994) of the Planning and Zoning Board following the meeting at which this planned unit development final plan was conditionally approved; or, if not so executed, that the developer, at said subsequent monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an extension of time. The Board shall not grant any such extension of time unless it shall first find that there exists with respect to said planned unit development final plan certain specific unique and extraordinary circumstances which require the granting of the extension in order to prevent exceptional and unique hardship upon the owner or developer of such property and provided that such extension can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good. If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to be included in the development agreement, the developer may present such dispute to the Board for resolution if such presentation is made at the next succeeding or second succeeding monthly meeting of the Board. The Board may table any such decision, until both the staff and the developer have had reasonable time to present sufficient information to the Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects to table the decision, it shall also extend the term of this condition until the date such decision is made). If this condition is not met within the time established herein (or as extended, as applicable), then the final approval of this planned unit development shall become null and void and of no effect. The date of final approval for this planned unit development shall be deemed to be the date that the condition is met, for purposes of determining the vesting of rights. For purposes of calculating the running of time for the filing of an appeal pursuant to Chapter 2, Article II, Division 3, of the City Code, the "final decisionle of the Board shall be deemed to have been made at the time of this conditional approval; however, in the event that the dispute is presented to the Board for resolution regarding provisions to be included in the development agreement, the Bank One at Harmony Market PUD - Final #54-87W September 26, 1994 P & Z Meeting Page 6 running of time for the filing of an appeal of such "final decision" shall be counted from the date of the Board's decision resolving such dispute. 0 11 L1V1: BANK ON t (CO FiARMON Y �10 MARKET PUD - Final North NUMBER: 54-e7w THE PIER MULTI -FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONED: RLP FRONT RANGE BAPTIST CHURCH ZONED: RLP •7_11 ZONED RLP HARmo"AD RP V 11 I /h� I APPROVED ✓/ 'RED ROBIN' RESTAURANT g° ZONED: RP / I I I I I J n I 1 1 r WII:YSO�Ji =.4NK= ONE J 1 t% Yra GENMAL NOTES - I �L\ Imo/----��' ............. �.... a..®.......a... y M-m.......

BANK ONE at HARMONY MARKET Statement of Planning Objectives June 6, 1994 This proposal comprises a Bank facility and a multi -tenant retail/office building on approximately 2.14 acres at the southwest corner of Harmony Road and Boardwalk Drive; and is designed to complement the adjacent Harmony Market PUD. Construction will be phased, with extensive perimeter landscaping, the proposed bank building, and much of the permanent parking lot completed with Phase I. The retail/office building is expected to be completed after Phase I is occupied. Employment at this site is estimated at up to 50 t upon completion of the retail/office building. As established with earlier filings at Harmony Market, a Business Service use such as Bank One 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 compatible with the goals and design guidelines outlined for the pad sites at Harmony 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 and west. Extensive perimeter landscaping along Boardwalk and Harmony is planned in character with the landscape improvements made with Sams (Pace), Builders Square, and Steele's. Development of the site is scheduled to begin in late 1994, with completion of the full site development targeted between 1996 and 1998. *Bank One Prelimina_ *+- PUD ♦ FiNAI_ Activity A: ALL DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA ALL CRITERIA APPLICABLE CRITERIA ONLY CRITERION Is the criterion applicable?

This memorandum compares the general trip generation used in previous studies with the site specific uses proposed at this time. The Oak/Cottonwood Farm area is south of Harmony Road, west of Lemay Avenue, and north of Fossil Creek. Its western edge is the existing developments located east of College Avenue (Fairway Estates and Fossil Creek Meadows). The Oak/ Cottonwood Farm Amended Overall Development Plan shows the area divided into lettered parcels (A through V). This plan is shown in Appendix A. The "Oak/Cottonwood Farm Site Access Study," May 1992 addresses the traffic impacts of the Oak/Cottonwood Farm Overall Development Plan. This site access study addressed the existing uses, primarily in Parcel R, and development of the remainder of the site. The Bank One and office/retail building is on the northern 70% of Parcel -S of the Overall Development Plan (ODP). In the ODP, it was assumed that Parcel S would be developed with commerial uses, primarily retail. Table 1 shows the trip generation from the proposed bank and office/ retail uses. Table 2 shows the trip generation for the northern 70% of Parcel S from the "Oak/Cottonwood Farm Site Access Study," May 1992. Parcel S (70%) daily trip generation from the site access study was 855 average weekday vehicle trip ends. The Bank One and office/retail building will generate 1340 average weekday vehicle trip ends. The proposed bank and office/retail uses will generate almost 1.6 times that shown in the site access study on the same parcel. Cursory review of the trip generation manual indicates that the trip generation rate for banks is higher (per square foot) than all retail uses. Even though the proposed building area is less than that assumed on Parcel S, the trip generation will be higher on a daily basis. The morning peak hour generated traffic of the bank and office/retail will be less than that shown in the site access study, but the afternoon peak hour traffic of the bank and office/retail will be higher. However, as shown in the "Courtyards at Miramont PUD traffic study" (memorandum dated March 7, 1994), the site access study overestimated the daily trip generation for Parcels Q and R by 1915. Therefore, when considering the overall trip generation from "new" 1994 proposals within the Oak/Cottonwood Farm area, it is concluded that the trip generation is consistent. This parcel will gain access to the public street system via Boardwalk Drive, across from the Sam's access. The operation at the access/Boardwalk intersection will be acceptable with stop sign control. Other traffic studies for various developments in this area have recommended northbound and southbound left -turn phases for Boardwalk at Harmony Road. One traffic study suggested dual northbound left -turn lanes on Boardwalk in order to reduce the back-up in the left -turn lane, and to provide additional capacity for future development to the south. Either/both of these recommendations will improve the operation at the Harmony/ Boardwalk intersection. • • Land Use Table 1 Trip Generation Daily Trips Bank One - 3.6 KSF 950 Office/Retail - 12.0 KSF 390 TOTAL 1340 A.M.
