Project Narrative: Prospect Ridge Lot 4 Mixed Use
(A) Project Title: Prospect Ridge Lot 4 Mixed Use
(B) Past Meeting Dates: Preliminary Development Review held on 09/13/2023.
Neighborhood meeting was held on 05/12/2025.
(C) General Information: The Project is located north of Prospect Ridge Drive
and west of Carriage Parkway, in the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. The Site
is located on an approximately 2.38-acre parcel within Lot 4 of the overall
Rudolph Farms subdivision, for which Final Development Plans were
approved by the City of Fort Collins January 2025. The Project is anticipated
to disturb a total of 2.38 acres (103,833 square feet). The parcel is zoned as
General Commercial (CG) and the Project does not propose a zoning
change. The Project use will include a mixed use building that provides
approximately 48 units, approximately 9,352 SF of retail space, and
approximately 1,650 SF of amenity area. The amenity areas are located
within Level 2 and Level 4 of the building and will consist of gathering space
and seating areas. Twenty-four (24) garage structures, including one (1)
accessible garage, are also being proposed. Other improvements include
associated infrastructure that consists of site grading, utility service
installation, parking and sidewalk improvements, and landscaping.
(D) Proposed Owners: Pacific North Enterprises, LLC
(E) Existing Owners: N/A
(F) Transportation Improvements: Direct access to the Site will be provided
south and west 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
mixed use 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 building is oriented towards Prospect Ridge Drive and Carriage
Parkway 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.
c. An emergency access easement is proposed with this Project in
accordance with the Poudre Fire Authority fire access standards.
There is also an additional emergency access connection from the
parking lot to Carriage Parkway.
d. The fire, domestic, and sanitary sewer services that are proposed as a
part of the project are in accordance with ELCO Water District
standards and Boxelder Sanitation District standards.
e. Vehicular circulation is proposed to flow in from both of the two-way
drive aisles entering the Site from Prospect Ridge Drive and continue
along the two-way drive aisles internal to the Site within the parking lot.
f. Pedestrian access is provided from multiple proposed sidewalk
connection points on Prospect Ridge Drive and Carriage Parkway.
These accesses will route pedestrians to the building frontages and
parking bays.
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.
i. The Site is adjacent to a Natural Habitat Buffer Zone (NHBZ) on the
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.
