Description of Proposal
We are seeking to use our house as an Extra Occupancy Rental House that can
accommodate up to 4 persons.We are not intending to perform any new
development for this conversion.
The house is a detached single-family dwelling.It is built on a platted lot,and
does not appear to be in any flood plains.The parcel number is 97242-06-004.
Additional information:Glantz Subdivision,Lot 4.
The house is located in the LMN zone (section 2.2.1 of Ft Collins Land
Development Code
https://www.fcgov.com/housing/files/article-2_ldc_2nd-reading.pdf?1666729696),
so our understanding is that Extra Occupancy Rental Houses are allowed
(FCFAQS Extra Occupancy
https://www.fcgov.com/developmentreview/pdf/boardinghouse.pdf).
The house has 1600 finished square feet,which covers the 350 square feet per
tenant for 4 people (350 sqft/person *4 people =1400 sqft)with 200 sqft to
spare.

Parking:
Per the land use code,3 parking spaces will be required for the 4 occupants (.75 spaces per
occupant:4 people *.75 =3 spaces).The house has a 2-car garage,as well as paved
driveway with gravel on both sides of the pavement.Based on the plat,the lot has 66 feet of
street frontage,so 3 parking spaces are required and will be provided that have direct access to
the street.
We will place plantings or dividing markers along the property line between our house and the
neighbors to provide a visual dividing line.
The width of the paved driveway is 20’8”,and the gravel pad to the right side (south)of the
driveway (as you look toward the garage from the street)is 6’8”.See below.

In conclusion,there is enough space on the paved driveway plus the gravel pad on the right
side of the pavement to accommodate the 26’5”foot wide parking area that is allowed.
With 26’5”allowed for parking,there is 26.4 ft /3 cars =8.67 ft wide space per car for parking
with unobstructed access to the street,which is enough.Typical parking spaces are 7.5 -9 ft
wide.See Site Measurements Drawing.
We have obtained and will install a permanent metal bike parking rack with space for 4 bikes in
the back yard (see Site Measurements Drawing).
Our property at 1612 Smith Place meets all the requirements for an Extra Occupancy Dwelling
Unit as far as we understand the requirements,and we look forward to discussing our
application with you.Thank you.
