The property is located east of South College Avenue, south of Boardwalk Drive, and north of Troutman Parkway. The existing zoning is hb, Highway Business (with a P.U.D. condition). RECOMMENDATION: Approval with a condition EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This is a request for a large retail use located east of South College Avenue between Boardwalk Drive and Troutman Parkway. It is situated between the Fountainhead P.U.D. to the north and the Market Place P.U.D. to the south. Those P.U.D.s contain the uses to qualify for a community/regional shopping center, which this use functionally becomes a part of. This building is incorporating the same architectural character and materials as the existing centers. The setbacks, landscaping, and buffering are in keeping with the adjacent properties. Primary access to this site is from a private shared drive with the existing Phar-Mor Store to the south, and secondary access from the Fountainhead P.U.D. to the north. This request is in substantial conformance with the approved Best Buy P.U.D. - Preliminary. COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES 281 N. College Ave. P.O. Sox 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522.0580 (303) 221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT No Text Best Buy PUD - Final, #29-92A July 27, 1992 P & Z Meeting Page 2 COMMENTS: 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: hb; existing office, restaurant, and retail (Fountainhead P.U.D.) S: hb: existing retail (Marketplace P.U.D.) E; hb, rmp; vacant land and quasi -public agency (U.S. Post Office) W: HB; vacant land and existing retail (Fossil Creek Commercial Plaza) This property was annexed into the City with the South College Properties Annexation in December, 1979 and zoned hb, Highway Business. The property is part of the South College Properties Superblock #3, Master Plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Board in May, 1982. This property has not been previously subdivided. The Best Buy P.U.D., Preliminary was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on June 22, 1992 with a condition. 2. Land Use: This is a request for a 28,520 square foot retail store on 2.84 acres. This use is considered to be an integral part of, both functionally and visually, the community shopping center established between Boardwalk Drive and Troutman Parkway with the completion of the Fountainhead and Market Place P.U.D.s. 3. Design: Architecture: This is essentially a square -shaped building (north -south dimension being 175' and east west dimension being 1601) that is 26'-8' high, with a parapet wall on the west elevation above the front entry. The parapet wall is centered on the entry and extends for 76' horizontally. It reaches a height of 34'-8" above grade. There is a small attached service and storage structure, with loading dock and truck ramp, at the northeast corner of the building. This structure is 16' in height. The building materials consist of ribbed concrete block (brown in color), standard block (brown in color), and standard block (painted blue in color), These materials all match exactly the Best Buy PUD - Final, #29-92A July 27, 1992 P & Z Meeting Page 3 Phar-Mor Store and associated shops in the Market Place P.U.D. to the south, as well as the retail stores in the Fountainhead P.U.D. to the north. Landscaping: The overall site landscaping consists of a substantial mix of deciduous, ornamental, and evergreen trees; deciduous and evergreen shrubs; and varieties of annual & perennial flowers for color and contrast. There is a large stand of an existing mix of trees at the northwest corner of the site, adjacent to the retail shops in the Fountainhead P.U.D., that will remain and be pruned according to City standards. A note to this effect is on the Landscape Plan. This satisfies the condition of preliminary approval that states "The retention of existing landscaping on the north boundary of the property be more specifically addressed at final with the intent to retain as much of the existing foliage or landscaping as possible". The landscape buffer and setback along the South College Avenue frontage varies from 33' to 40' in distance. This is consistent with the buffering incorporated at the Market Place P.U.D. A sidewalk, detached from the curb by 101, is included in this area. Shade, ornamental, evergreen trees, and extensive shrub and flower beds incorporated on and around earthen berms will provide a good visual buffer between the street and the parking areas. Landscaped islands, internal to the parking lot, will contain shade and ornamental trees with a variety of shrubs, flowers, and turfgrass as understory. The Best Buy building is separated from the existing drive to the south by 201. This area will include a sidewalk connection to Phar- Mor, with ornamental trees, evergreen trees, and deciduous shrubs as a buffer to the building. The east elevation of the building will be softened by a row of evergreen trees. The west (front) elevation is mitigated with ornamental and evergreen trees, and planting beds that include shrubs and flowers. Evergreen trees and deciduous shrubs will be provided along the service area screen wall and north face of the building's service entrance. Parking: The site contains 137 parking spaces, with 5 of these being handicapped spaces. The number of spaces conforms to the City Zoning Code and parking lot guidelines for the proposed land use. Best Buy PUD - Final, #29-92A July 27, 1992 P & Z Meeting Page 4 Signage: The signage consists of one freestanding sign, a maximum of 10, in height, on the South College Avenue frontage and two building - mounted signs. The freestanding sign will be similar in size to the Market Place P.U.D. (Phar-Mor) monument sign and will be mounted on a concrete block pedestal, with the materials matching the building. The sign on the west elevation, over the main entry, is a cabinet sign mounted on a steel grid backdrop. The letters will be black against a yellow background, and the steel grid is to be red. The sign on the south elevation, facing the Phar-Mor parking lot, will consist of 42" high individual letters. There will not be any signage on the north or east elevations of the building. Lighting: There will be wall -mounted lighting on all four sides of the building. These light fixtures will be shielded and down directional so as not to create a glare or allow off -site light spillage to the adjacent properties. The parking lot light fixtures will be 30' in height and match the existing fixtures in the Market Place P.U.D. These fixtures are down directional to minimize light spillage. 4. Engineerincf: The development agreement, final utility plans, and final P.U.D. plans have not yet been signed; therefore, a condition is required on the final approval that states that 'The Planning and Zoning Board approves this planned unit development final plan upon the condition that the development agreement, final utility plans, and final P.U.D. plans for the planned unit development be negotiated between the developer and City staff and executed by the developer prior to the second monthly meeting (September 28, 1992) of the Planning and Zoning Board following the meeting at which this planned unit development final plan was conditionally approved; or, if not so executed, that the developer, at said subsequent monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an extension of time. The Board shall not grant any such extension of time unless it shall first find that there exists with respect to said planned unit development final plan certain specific unique and extraordinary circumstances which require the granting of the extension in order to prevent exceptional and unique hardship upon the owner of Best Buy PUD - Final, #29-92A July 27, 1992 P & Z Meeting Page 5 developer of such property and provided that such extension can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good. If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to be included in the development agreement, the developer may present such dispute to the Board for resolution if such presentation is made at the next succeeding or second succeeding monthly meeting of the Board. The Board may table any such decision, until both the staff and the developer have had reasonable time to present sufficient information to the Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects to table the decision, it shall also extend the term of this condition until the date such decision is made.) If this condition is not met within the time established herein (or as extended, as applicable), then the final approval of this planned unit development shall become null and void and of no effect. The date of final approval for this planned unit development shall be deemed to be the date that the condition is met, for purposes of determining the vesting of rights. For purposes of calculating the running of time for the filing of an appeal pursuant to Chapter 2, Article II, Division 3, of the City Code, the "final decision" of the Board shall be deemed to have been made at the time of this conditional approval; however, in the event that a dispute is presented to the Board for resolution regarding provisions to be included in the development agreement, the running of time for the filing of an appeal of such "final decision', shall be counted from the date of the Boards decision resolving such dispute." RECOMMENDATION: This request is in substantial conformance with the approved Best Buy P.U.D., Preliminary. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the Best Buy P.U.D., Final - #29-92A with one condition: 1. The Planning and Zoning Board approves this planned unit development final plan upon the condition that the development agreement, final utility plans, and final P.U.D. plans for the planned unit development be negotiated between the developer and City staff and executed by the developer prior to the second monthly meeting (September 28, 1992) of the Planning and Zoning Board following the meeting at which this planned unit development final plan was conditionally approved; or, if not so executed, that the developer, at said subsequent monthly meeting, apply to the Board for an extension of time. The Board shall not grant any such extension of time unless it shall first find that there exists with Best Buy PUD - Final, #29-92A July 27, 1992 P & Z Meeting Page 6 respect to said planned unit development final plan certain specific unique and extraordinary circumstances which require the granting of the extension in order to prevent exceptional and unique hardship upon the owner of developer of such property and provided that such extension can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good. If the staff and the developer disagree over the provisions to be included in the development agreement, the developer may present such dispute to the Board for resolution if such presentation is made at the next succeeding or second succeeding monthly meeting of the Board. The Board may table any such decision, until both the staff and the developer have had reasonable time to present sufficient information to the Board to enable it to make its decision. (If the Board elects to table the decision, it shall also extend the term of this condition until the date such decision is made.) If this condition is not met within the time established herein (or as extended, as applicable), then the final approval of this planned unit development shall become null and void and of no effect. The date of final approval for this planned unit development shall be deemed to be the date that the condition is met, for purposes of determining the vesting of rights. For purposes of calculating the running of time for the filing of an appeal pursuant to Chapter 2, Article II, Division 3, of the City Code, the "final decision" of the Board shall be deemed to have been made at the time of this conditional approval; however, in the event that a dispute is presented to the Board for resolution regarding provisions to be included in the development agreement, the running of time for the filing of an appeal of such "final decision" shall be counted from the date of the Board's decision resolving such dispute.
