Please see the following comments regarding QuikTrip Prospect I -25. Planning Services 1.FOR INFORMATION: The property is located in the General Commercial District (C G), and is subject to the requirements of Article 4, Division 4.21 for properties located in the C G District. Based on the information provided with the Conceptual Review, the proposed convenience store and fueling sales land use is subject to Administrative (Type 1) Review. RESPONSE: The Preliminary Development Plan is being submitted as part of a Type 1 Administrative Review. 2. GENERAL COMMENT: This development proposal will be subject to all applicable standards of the Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC), including Article 3 General Development Standards. The entire LUC is available for your review on the web at http://www.colocode.com/ftcollins/landuse/begin.htm. RESPONSE: The Preliminary Development Plan is being submitted to follow the current LUC. 3. GENERAL COMMENT: The property is within the I 25 Corridor overlay and is required to meet the standards in Article 3, Division 3.9 for the I 25 Corridor Standards. Including buffers that are Page 2 of 26 required for parking onsite from adjacent public rights of way, public open space, and adjacent properties. RESPONSE: The proposed lot is within the corridor but not directly abutting the I -25 right-of -way and is over 245 feet from the centerline of I -25. The development of this lot has been designed based on the above characteristics in the corri dor regulations. 4. GENERAL COMMENT: If this proposal is unable to satisfy any of the requirements set forth in the LUC, a Modification of Standard Request will need to be submitted with your formal development proposal. Please see Section 2.8.2 of the L UC for more information on criteria to apply for a Modification of Standard. RESPONSE: If any waivers are required per coordination with the City and review a modification of standard request shall be submitted. 5. GENERAL COMMENT: This property is a part of a larger Overall Development Plan (ODP) for Gateway at Prospect. The developer should continue to coordinate with the infrastructure project to be consistent with the ODP. Further subdivision of Parcel C as labeled in the ODP will require that all created lots meet all lot dimension and standards required in the General Commercial zone district and I 25 Corridor overlay. RESPONSE: The proposed QuikTrip (QT) development is the first development within Gateway and is closely being coordinated with the developers. Offsite utilities are being designed by the ODP engineers and are included as part of this plan needed to develop the QT lot. 6. GENERAL COMMENT: The property is within the Prospect Road Streetscape Program and is requi red to meet the standards outlined in the plan including, but not limited to, setbacks, building architecture, landscaping, streetscape design, and lighting. RESPONSE: The proposed QuikTrip (QT) development has the building setback more than 50’ from Pros pect Road. Final design shall incorporate any other standards outlined in the plan. 7. SITE DESIGN: The site design and building orientation will need to be revised so that the building has at least one main entrance that is oriented to (and anchored by) the pedestrian walkway at Prospect Road or the Frontage Road. Directly connecting the building to the pedestrian sidewalk will help to satisfy the requirements in Article 3, Division 3.9.6 Block Pattern for Activity Centers. An illustrative plan for the Gateway at Prospect ODP is provided with these comments. RESPONSE: Per the direction of the original meeting, the building was placed closer to the NW corner of the site to be closer to the frontage road as coordinated with Katelyn Puga on 9/23/2022. Page 3 of 26 8. BUILDING DESIGN: The proposed architecture and the existing branding prototypes should adapt for the standards in the Prospect Road Streetscape Program, Development Standards for the I 25 Corridor, the Building Design standards in Article 3, Division 3.5.2 Mixed Use, Institutional and Commercial Buildings and the standards for Convenience Shopping Centers in Article 3, Division 3.5.5. RESPONSE: The architecture in the final building plans shall follow the above. 9. LIGHTING: The city has adopted new lighting standards that are applicable for this new project. This development that includes proposed artificial outdoor lighting shall submit for review and approval a proposed lighting plan that complies with the standards in this Section 3.2.4 and meets the functional needs of the proposed land use. This site is in the Lighting Context LC2. RESPONSE: The lighting in the final building plans shall follow the above. 10. PARKING: The proposed development shall comply with the access, circulation, and parking requirements of Article 3, Division 3.2.2. The proposed land use of convenience store and fueling sales can be considered as the General Retail Parking category for parking space requirements for nonresidential development. This includes meeting bicycle parking space requirements for nonresidential development, a percentage of enclosed bicycle parking and fixed racks are also required on site. RESPONSE: The QT development is a convenience store with the majority of its use similar to a restaurant. The QT store has a kitchen area that includes food preparation stations , order boards, sink areas, grills, ovens, toasters, refrigerator areas and food waste storage as well as a “Food Pickup/Display Area .” For this reas on, these areas more closely align with a Quick-Serve Restaurant. The rest of the store is more aligned with a typical Convenience store. QuikTrip would designate 3,070 sf as a Quick-Serve Restaurant and 2,242 sf as Convenience Store. This interpretation has been accepted in other local jurisdictions. Using, these numbers, the project would get the parking min/max requirements to be 25 and 5 4 respectively. We would ask further discussion on this proposal and if needed a formal waiver to allow the parki ng needed for the site. 11. SITE DESIGN: The use is expected to generate some pedestrian activity at the convenience store. General commercial development is required to provide a pedestrian oriented outdoor space for those utilizing the site. The site design should consider including pedestrian amenities in the outdoor spaces that are integrated into the design, such as sculptures, kiosks, or shelters. The City is open to the applicant’s proposal of similar pedestrian amenities. RESPONSE: The proposed store will connect to ROW sidewalk from the frontage road. The connecting sidewalk will lead to a paved patio area with tables and bike racks for gathering of a pedestrian outdoor space. Page 4 of 26 12.This development proposal will be subject to all applicable standards of the Fort Collins Land Use Code (LUC), including Article 3 General Development Standards. The entire LUC is available for your review on the web at http://www.colocode.com/ftcollins/landuse/begin.htm. RESPONSE: Plans will utilize the Fort Collins LUC. 13. If this proposal is unable to satisfy any of the requirements set forth in the LUC, a Modification of Standard Request will need to be submitted with your formal development proposal. Please see Section 2.8.2 of the LUC for more information on criteria to apply for a Modification of Standard. RESPONSE: If any waivers are required per coordination with the City and review, a modification of standard request shall be submitted. Department: Historic Preservation 1.NO HISTORIC REVIEW REQUIRED: This proposal does not require historic review because there are no designated historic resources, or resources that are at least 50 years old and would require evaluation, on the development site or within 200 feet of the development site. RESPONSE: The project shall not do a historic preservation study. Department: Engineering Development Review: 1.This site is subject to additional fees per the Binding Agreement Pertaining to Development of Interstate Highway 25 and Prospect Road Interchange. The fee amounts will be determined during the technical review phase, and the fee will be due prior to issuance of any building permits. RESPONSE: The development shall coordinate with the City on final fees at the technical review phase. 2. The current plan shows a connection to the proposed roundabout in this area. Are you planning on waiting until the roundabout is constructed before you construct your site? You will need at least 2 accesses per Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) requirements. RESPONSE: The final design will have an internal connection within Tract J to a road that will connect to the proposed roundabout. As coordinated, with City of Fort Collins, this site will be allowed to have a full access from the private drive as long as it is the only development. Any future commercial or residential developments will need to finalize the offsite roundabout design before they can be developed. 3. Frontage Road Improvements will be required during development. The frontage road is Page 5 of 26 classified as a “2-lane collector street” by the City of Fort Collins Master Street Plan. Therefore, you will be required to provide right-of -way, easements, and frontage improvements in accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS) Figure 7-4F. RESPONSE: Frontage road improvements are included with the plan set. Frontage road improvements are for the half abutting QT only. Future connection to Prospect Road is to be done by the City of Fort Collins and the final Frontage road design shall be part of the Overall Development plan infrastructure plans. 4.

INFORMATION: All fences, barriers, posts or other encroachments within the public right-of -way are only permitted upon approval of an encroachment permit. Applications for encroachment permits shall be made to the Engineering Department for review and approval prior to installation. Encroachment items shall not be shown on the site plan as they may not be approved, need to be modified or moved, or if the permit is revoked then the site/ landscape plan is in non-compliance. RESPONSE: Any proposed encroachments shall be coordinated with the engineering department and noted in the landscape plan. 14. INFORMATION: The development/site cannot use the right-of -way for any Low Impact Page 7 of 26 Development to treat the site’s storm runoff. We can look at the use of some LID methods to treat street flows – the design standards for these are still in development. RESPONSE: The proposed site is utilizing LID methods for offsite and internal drainage. For the offsite drainage of the frontage road there is a proposed rain garden within th e QT site. To treat the parking lot there is a proposed rain garden and to treat the fueling area a mechanical oil sand separator is proposed. All three LID’s are used prior to drainage entering the detention pond. 15. INFORMATION: Doors are not allowed to open out into the right-of -way. RESPONSE: All proposed doors have enough setback from right-of -way (ROW) that they do not open into right -of -way. 16. INFOR MATION: Bike parking required for the project cannot be placed within the right-of -way and if placed just behind the right -of -way need to be placed so that when bikes are parked they do not extend into the right-of -way. RESPONSE: Proposed bike parking is not proposed in public ROW. 17. INFORMATION: In regard to construction of this site, the public right-of -way shall not be used for staging or storage of materials or equipment associated with the Development, nor shall it be used for parking by any contractors, subcontractors, or other personnel working for or hired by the Developer to construct the Development. The Developer will need to find a location(s) on private property to accommodate any necessary staging and/or parking needs associated with the completion of the Development. Information on the location(s) of these areas will be required to be provided to the City as a part of the Development Construction Permit application. RESPONSE: Notes shall be added to the final construction documents, indicating the above requirement. 18. Will you be submitting a plat with this project? How much frontage will you be improving along the existing Frontage Road as well as along Prospect as a part of this project? RESPONSE: A plat is being submitted as part of this project. The frontage road is being improved adjacent to the project site with no improvements proposed for Prospect Road. Department: Traffic Operations 1. TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY: Based on Chapter 4 of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards this project will require the submittal of a Traffic Impact Study. Please contact Traffic Operations to scope the study. Page 8 of 26 RESPONSE: As part of the Overall Development Plan (ODP) a TIS was submitted. A TIS memo is attached, illustrating that the proposed QT site follows the parameters of the ODP TIS. 2. This project will be responsible for the adjacent frontage improvements to this property and we will need complete details and phasing for what is anticipated to be built now and what will be built with additional phases of development. The location and number of access points will also need to be identified prior to the scoping of the Traffic Impact Study. RESPONSE: The proposed QT site will improve the Frontage Road adjacent to its plat. This will be the first phase of any Frontage Road improvements. The second phase will follow the proposed ODP infrastructure improvements. 3. This project and subsequent Traffic Impact Study will need to be routed to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for review, and will more than likely require an approved Access Permit. RESPONSE: The TIS memo shall be forwarded to CDOT for review and approval. Department: Erosion Control 1.This project is located within the City's MS4 boundaries and is subject to the erosion control requirements located in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM), Chapter 2, Section 6.0. A copy of those requirements can be found at www.fcgov.com/erosion .This project was evaluated based upon the submittal requirements of FCSCM. Based upon the provided materials we were able to determine a total disturbed area. Based upon the area of disturbance or this project is part of a larger common development, State permits for stormwater will be required should be pulled before Construction Activities begin. RESPONSE: Notes and plans shall be added to the final construction documents, indicating the above requirement. 2. For Approval or Final Plan: Based upon the supplied materials, site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft. and/or meets one of the other triggering criteria (sensitive area, steep slopes, or larger common development) that would require Erosion and Sediment Control Materials to be submitted. Please provide an erosion control plan for 'Final Plan or Approval Submittal'. This project disturbs 5 or more acres so erosion control phasing materials will need to be provided in the erosion control plans, reports and escrow. Please ensure that the Erosion Control Plans, Escrows, and Reports include phasing requirements (FCSCM Ch 2 Section 6.1.3, 6.1.4, & 6.1.5) Based upon the supplied materials, site disturbs more than 1 acre or is part of a larger common development that requires Erosion and Sediment Control Report to be submitted. Please submit an Erosion Control Report to meet City Criteria (FCDCM Ch 2 Section 6.1.4) at time of Final Plan or Approval Submittal. Based upon the supplied materials, an Erosion Control Escrow Calculation will need to be provided. Page 9 of 26 Please submit an Erosion Control Escrow / Security Calculation based upon the accepted Erosion Control Plans to meet City Criteria (FCDCM Ch 2 Section 6.1.5) at time of Final Plan or Approval Submittal. RESPONSE: Notes shall be added to the f inal construction documents, indicating the above requirement. 3. Fees: The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.5-2 was updated to include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater Inspections. As of January 1st, 2021, these fees will be collected on all projects for such inspections. The Erosion Control fees are based on; the number of lots, the total site disturbance, the estimated number of years the project will be active. Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we are assuming 1 lots, 16.70 acres of disturbance, 1.5 years from demo through build out of construction and an additional 3.00 years till full vegetative stabilization due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $1,879.20 . Please note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the above-mentioned values change the fees may need to be modified. I have provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for you to review. Please respond to this comment with any changes to these assumed estimates and why, so that we may have a final fee estimate ready for this project. The fee will need to be provided at the time of erosion control escrow. We could not make any assumptions at this time for the number of LID and WQ features, each porous pavers will be $365.00, each bioretention/level spreaders $315.00, each extended detention basins $250.00, and each underground treatment will be $415.00. Stormwater LID/WQ Inspections to be $TBD. RESPONSE: The development shall coordinate with the City on final fees. Department: Stormwater Engineering 1. MASTER PLAN AND CRITERIA COMPLIANCE The design of this site must conform to the drainage basin design of the Cooper Slough/Boxelder Basin Master Drainage Plan as well the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM). The stormwater criteria manual is available on our website here: https://www.fcgov.com/utilit y-development RESPONSE: Notes shall be added to the final construction documents, indicating the above requirement. 2. DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS A drainage report and construction plans are required and must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado. The drainage report must address the four-step process for selecting structural BMPs. RESPONSE: The final drainage study shall address the four -step process. Page 10 of 26 3. STORMWATER OUTFALL The stormwater outfall is not apparent around this site and will require further investigation to accurately determine the best outfall. RESPONSE: The proposed detention pond shall connect to offsite improvements as designed by the ODP infrastructure improvements. The proposed storm sewer outfalls to the west to the Boxelder Creek 4. DETENTION REQUIREMENTS Onsite detention is required for the runoff volume difference between the 100-year developed inflow rate and the 2-year historic release rate. RESPONSE: Onsite detention shall be designed per Fort Collins design regulations. 5. WATER QUALITY AND LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS All new or modified impervious areas require stormwater quality treatment. In addition, the City requires the use of Low Impact Development (LID) methods to treat stormwater quality on all new or redeveloping property, including sites required to be brought into compliance with the Land Use Code. There are two (2) categories of LID requirements; the development will need to meet one of the two following options: 1.LID with Permeable Pavers: When using the permeable pavers option, 50% of the new or modified impervious areas must be treated by LID methods. Of the new or modified paved areas, 25% must be pervious. 2.LID - without Pavers: 75% of all new or modified impervious areas must be treated by LID methods. This typically consists of a rain garden or bioretention system, but other options are allowed.The remainder of the water quality treatment can be accomplished ‘standard’ or LID water quality methods. Accepted methods are described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM), Chapter 7: http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders -and-developers/development-forms -guidelines -r egulations/stormwater-criteria RESPONSE: Proposed LID methods onsite are proposed to treat the offsite ROW, internal parking lot and fueling station area include the following: 1. Rain Gardens for offsite ROW and internal parking lot; 2. Structural oil/sand separator. 6. IMPERVIOUSNESS DOCUMENTATION: The existing and proposed impervious areas need to be documented in the drainage report. Drainage requirements and development fees are based on new impervious area. An exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas with a table s ummarizing the areas is required with the first project submittal. Page 11 of 26 RESPONSE: The proposed LID methods are documented in the preliminary drainage study. The final impervious areas will be noted in the final drainage study. 7. DETENTION DRAIN TIMES Per Colorado Revised Statute §37-92-602 (8) that became effective August 5, 2015, criteria regarding detention drain time will apply to this project. As part of the drainage design, the engineer will be required to show compliance with this statute using a standard spreadsheet (available on request) that will need to be included in the drainage report. Upon completion of the project, the engineer will also be required to upload the approved spreadsheet onto the Statewide Compliance Portal. This will apply to any volume -based stormwater storage, including extended detention basins. RESPONSE: The proposed detention basin is being designed per the above. 8. Inspection and maintenance There will be a final site inspection of the stormwater facilities when the project is complete and the maintenance is handed over to an HOA or another maintenance organization. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for on-going maintenance of all onsite drainage facilities will be included as part of the Development Agreement. More information and links can be found at: http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/what-we -do/stormwater/stormwater-quality/low-impact -developm ent RESPONSE: Notes shall be added to the final construction documents, indicating the above requirement. 9. FEES: The 2022 city wide Stormwater development fee (PIF) is $10,109/acre ($0.23207/ sq.ft.) of new impervious area over 350 square feet. No fee is c harged for existing impervious area. This fee is to be paid at the time each building permit is issued. Information on fees can be found at: http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/business/builders -and-developers/plant-investment -development-f ees or contact our Utility Fee and Rate Specialists at (970) 416-4252 or UtilityFees@fcgov.com or questions on fees. RESPONSE: The development shall coordinate with the City on final fees. 10. OFFSITE STORMWATER FLOWS The development will need to accept and pass any existing offsite flows. RESPONSE: The proposed storm sewer design accounts for offsite flows from the east and remnant Tract J future development. 11. SPILL CONTROL FOR FUEL SALES Spill control structures are required for all new and redeveloping gas s tations and vehicle maintenance facilities. In addition to emergency spill response procedures, such as the use of absorbent booms, structural spill controls must be used Page 12 of 26 to protect all areas downstream of the site including roadways, drainage channels, storm sewer systems, wetlands, creeks and tributaries from petroleum products and other pollutants that are stored and handled at gas stations and vehicle maintenance facilities. The spill control structure can be a below-grade concrete vault and should be placed in a location on the site that allows for spills to be directed toward it. Low flows, both pollutant spills and runoff from small storms, should be able to be directed into the control structure. Larger storm flows may be directed into the control structure but more likely will overtop a curb or bypass the spill structure and runoff toward the site detention basin. The spill control structure or vault must have a minimum capacity of 150 gallons. The vault should be covered for safety although ventilation should be provided to allow for evaporation between storms. RESPONSE: The proposed development has been designed that all proposed pavement adjacent to the fueling stations drains to a low point captured by an inlet that drains to a spill control structure noted as an oil sand separator on the plans. Department: Wastewater Engineering 1.
