HARMONY MARKET 9TH FILING
Statement of Planning Objectives
July 5, 1994
As a part of an emerging, successful mixed use development area in this part of the
Harmony Corridor, Harmony Market 9th Filing is proposed to include minor auto related
facilities on a site of just under one acre complementing the existing adjacent automotive care
facilities at Lemay Avenue and OakRidge Drive.
A variety of housing types, employment centers, shopping opportunities, and business
services are now available in this area. Groceries, banking, miscellaneous dry goods and home
improvement items are available at Harmony Market; and food service and additional personal
service uses are anticipated in the near future. The proposed use will make the mixed use
development concept in this area more complete.
The Land Development Guidance System and adopted Land Use Policies support the
proposed use at this location. And, although the proposed site is not immediately adjacent
to residential uses, the proposed design strives to meet the "neighborhood compatibility"
criteria developed by the City of Fort Collins:
"Edge Conditions" such as setbacks, perimeter landscaping, architectural
treatment, signs; and lighting, are consistent with the established character at
Harmony Market.
The project will be extensively landscaped in conformance with previous
filings at Harmony Market. The landscape will define and help screen auto
circulation areas, and limit views onto the site.
Architectural form, finish colors, and materials are designed to match or
complement the rest of Harmony Market; while the height and mass provide a
transition in scale between the large "on line" buildings and the perimeter of
the site.
Signage will be consistent with the established format at Harmony Market. A
ground sign along Lemay Avenue is expected to combine the brick and
synthetic stucco used on the existing monument signs; and wall mounted signs
will be similar to those on the "on line" buildings.
Lighting used will match the other low, cut-off fixtures used at Harmony
Market.
Views of the mountains will not be significantly affected by this project;
although development of this site will help to baffle views of the existing
service areas along OakRidge Drive.

While this development provides convenient access to services that
neighborhood residents will use; it does not draw extraneous traffic through
local residential streets.
Development of the site is scheduled to be completed in 1995.
