Neighborhood meeting to be held on 10/12/2023.
(C) General Information:The Project is located south of Prospect Ridge Drive
and north of Prospect Road, in the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. The Site is
located on an approximately 6.80-acre parcel within Lot 1 of the overall
Rudolph Farms subdivision, for which Final Development Plans are in the
process of approval with the City of Fort Collins. The Project is anticipated to
disturb a total of 6.84 acres (298,108 square feet). The parcel is zoned as
General Commercial (CG) and the Project does not propose a zoning
change. The Project will be for the use of a multi-family housing development
that is approximately 228 units. The proposed improvements consist of six
residential buildings, an office building, a pool, and associated infrastructure
including site grading, utility service installation, parking and sidewalk
improvements, and landscaping.

(F) Transportation Improvements:Direct access to the Site will be provided
north of the Site from Prospect Ridge Drive via two access drives.
(G) Site Description:The Project Site is currently an undeveloped parcel with
existing groundcover consisting of short grasses.
a. The site design is intended to meet the operational requirements of a
multi-family development by providing parking around the building
frontage, vehicular and pedestrian circulation throughout the site, and
visibility to Prospect Road. To meet the community character standard,
the buildings are oriented towards Prospect Ridge Drive and Prospect
Road without having parking area between the building and the street.
b. The build-to line was designated with respect to the Prospect Road
Streetscape specifications regarding the ROW along Prospect Ridge
Drive.

drive aisles entering the Site from Prospect Ridge Drive and continue
along the two-way drive aisles internal to the Site along all building
frontages.
f. Pedestrian access is proposed from multiple sidewalk connection
points on Prospect Ridge Drive and route to the building frontages and
parking bays. The site will proposed to have connections to the
community trail that runs along the west side of the site.
g. Landscaping is proposed to conform with the ‘Interchange Style’ of the
Prospect Road Streetscape Program.
h. Building and amenity architecture is intended to meet Fort Collins Land
Use Code requirements for Residential Buildings and to conform with
the architecture that is planned throughout the Rudolph Farms
Development.

north side. While the site is not encumbered by this NHBZ, the
proposed landscaping design has considered it and provides a
transition to this area to minimize impact.
