The most recent was in March 2020 (Minor Amendment MA190091). Buildings 11 and 12 were included in this application. Building 13 and the surrounding site improvements have been built. A recorded ODP is also on the property and was submitted with this application. SITE PLAN Proposed Use Building 11 is proposed to have office/retail space. Building 12 is proposed to have indoor pickleball facilities. A small outdoor plaza area with tables and landscaping will be located between the buildings. Overall Design Intent It is the intent of the proposed conceptual plan to utilize as much of the existing infrastructure as possible. The buildings will overall have the less square footage than what is shown on the approved MA from 2020. The key difference being that Building 11 will transfer some of its square footage to Building 12. Creating additional pedestrian walkway connections around the buildings and to other key areas of the site are included with this proposal. Current Use Currently the site vacant. Access & Circulation It is the intent of the proposed conceptual plan to utilize as much of the existing infrastructure as possible while providing additional head in parking behind the buildings. This will require the EAE and drive aisle to be relocated into the area where the existing parallel parking is along the eastern fence of the site. The current drive connection between Building 11 and Building 12 will be removed with this proposal. Parking Overhang parking is replacing the parallel parking on the east/rear side of the buildings (along railroad) adding additional parking capacity. A 7’-0” wide attached sidewalk provides pedestrian connection to along these parking spaces to the buildings and central open area. ADA parking has been dispersed along the front of Building 11 and 12 is three locations. We have accounted for Building 12 (pickleball courts) parking requirements in a similar manner as the rest of Jessup Farm with the Neighborhood Center requirements. This requirement is based off of the building square footage, requiring 55 spaces. If Building 12 were to be assessed with Indoor Recreation parking requirements it would require 82 parking spaces - a 27 space difference from Neighborhood Center. An additional 40 spaces were added with the parking changes, which more than accommodates this difference. As noted in the attached document from Picklr, the facility is a membership facility that requires court times to be reserved. It functions very differently than a gym or other recreation site where capacity is only limited by the building capacity. The overall parking capacity has increased on the site with the parallel to head in parking change, but is still within the minimum and maximum allowed per code. Landscape The proposed plan is similar to the approved plan with no building foundation planting on the east/rear portion of the buildings. This site was originally developed for truck loading from this drive aisle so there is 4’+ of grade change from the back to the front of the buildings. The plan proposes using building foundation to absorb this grade change. Due to the pickleball court size the depth of the building cannot be shrunk any further. It is deemed more important and beneficial to provide the 8’-0” of foundation planting on the fronts of the building. The building has a 6’ privacy fence along this property line and an railroad on the other side of it. Compatibility with Surrounding Area The proposed architecture is compatible with the existing buildings within Jessup Farm. The use is compatible for neighborhood recreation and enjoyment. Natural Features No natural features are part of this site. Lighting All lighting was installed previously and meets City of Fort Collins requirements. Trash and Recycling Service: The existing trash and recycling enclosure along the railroad will be removed with this proposal. There are existing enclosures next to Buildings 10 and 13 at each end of the site. When they site plan was previously planned Buildings 11 and 12 were envisioned to be larger industrial uses, such as a furniture wholesaler. These uses would generate a significant amount of packaging waste that needed to be accounted for. The new proposed uses, office/retail and indoor recreation would have little waster generation. Currently, the two existing enclosures are emptied 3 times per week and are rarely over half full. If capacity becomes an issue an additional day of pick up would be added. ENGINEERING Stormwater Detention Stormwater for the Building 11 and 12 site will generally follow the approved drainage design from the Bucking Horse First Filing and the Jessup Farm Minor Amendment. Stormwater detention will be provided in the existing detention ponds. Per the City, Low Impact Development is not required for this minor amendment unless the total impervious area exceeds the previously approved plans. This minor amendment is expected to result in less impervious area than the original approved plans. Water System Potable water will be provided from the City of Fort Collins water infrastructure designed and built with the Bucking Horse First Filing. This waterline is located within the adjacent existing parking lot. Existing services are planned to be utilized as much as possible. Existing services not used are proposed to be abandoned at the main. Sanitary Sewer System Sanitary Sewer will be provided from the City of Fort Collins sewer infrastructure designed and built with the Bucking Horse First Filing. This sewer is located within the adjacent existing parking lot. Existing services are planned to be utilized. ARCHITECTURE Design The proposed updates to the previously approved Jessup Farm Buildings 11 and 12 include reallocating building area between the two buildings and would not increase the total area nor would the updates change the character of the proposed architecture. The previously approved, one-story, Buildings 11 and 12 were both approximately 18,900 SF each in area for a total of approximately 37,800 SF. The proposed building updates would remain as one-story commercial/industrial buildings of approximately 4,996 SF for Building 11 and 27,186 SF for Building 12 for a total area of approximately 32,182 SF. The proposed architectural design and character would not change from the previously approved development plan that is based on a modern interpretation of agrarian vernacular with use of simple gable roof forms, with broken roof pitches and use of shed roof elements used at the building entries. This design aesthetic is consistent with other buildings in both the Jessup Farm and the Bucking Horse development including the surrounding and directly adjacent 1-story commercial buildings 9, 10 and 13 and historic buildings located at the Jessup Farm Artisan Village just to the southwest. The proposed materials of Buildings 11 and 12 will include both vertical and horizontal prefinished metal wall panel systems with a two-color scheme and galvalume-finish metal roof panels to relate to the other galvanized metal roofs used in the surrounding Jessup Farm development. The building will also use aluminum storefront glazing for both punched window openings and at the entries. The entries include projecting shed roof elements with heavy timber columns and bracket detailing. The Picklr | 559 S Deseret Drive, Suite 202 | Kaysville, Utah 84037 To Whom it May Concern: As you are reviewing the plans for the up-and-coming Picklr locaMon, I want to give some explanaMon of the space and how we intend on using it. Our facility occupancy is driven by reservaMon. One to four people can reserve and play on a court at a Mme. Because of this we would have up to 4 members/ customers per court in the facility at a Mme. Our average facility would have 10 courts and our model would then have 40 customers and two employees at a Mme. We have designed other spaces in the facility to give our patrons a relaxed and comfortable experience. ReservaMons would be made to ensure this happens. While enjoying the club you would reserve a court where 1 to 4 people would have exclusive use of that space. During your reservaMon Mme, you might want to sit down in the lounge area and relax for a moment. Perhaps before your game your group would meet in this area waiMng for all to arrive before starMng play, and likewise a place to sit aXer a game to socialize and review the games that were played. These areas do not increase the occupancy load of the building in any way. Special funcMon or community room. This area of the club would be used if we rented the whole facility for a corporate team building event. OXen, we will have small groups that want to have a team building event, we will reserve the whole facility for them to use, no other customer would be allowed in during this blocked off Mme. They commonly want to have a space where they will have a quick meeMng or presentaMon, this room will accommodate that experience. Community rooms are for patrons to use within their reservaMon Mme not addiMonal customs, thus not increasing our intended occupancy load at any Mme. Hopefully this helps to present the funcMon of the space and the intended purpose behind how it will be used. It should also clarify the requirement for bathroom accommodaMon, thou it is a large space full capacity for a 10-court locaMon is under 45 people at a Mme.
