The current development proposal suggests a 2300 SF Little
Caesars Pizza Restaurant on the northern half of the site
(Lot 1). This restaurant would include a drive-thru pick-up
window and indoor seating for 42 people. The southern half
of the site (Lot 2) is planned for an office building to be
owned and occupied by Little Caesars of Northern Colorado,
Inc. This office building will be limited to an 1800 SF
maximum footprint size with a maximum total area of 3000
square feet. It is planned to contain general offices and a
training area for Little Caesars Pizza of Northern Colorado
and possibly a small office area available for lease.
The architectural character of the office building is
intended to be of residential scale with exterior materials
of face brick, cedar siding and shake shingle roofs. The
owner would prefer a structure which would be considered
similar compatible with the building in The Shores office
complex to the east of this site. He would like it to have
a separate identity from the restaurant structure and for
this reason he is not suggesting the use of the stucco or
standing seam metal roofing materials associated with the
restaurant.
Primary access to both the restaurant and office building is
from Mitchell Drive with secondary access provided by the
existing common drive along the ease side of the property.
Vehicular circulation across this site between Mitchell
Drive and JFK Parkway to the east has been provided for much
in the same fashion as the original Continental Plaza P.U.D.
proposal from 1981.
Completion of point charts A, D and E show these uses to be
appropriate for this site and in conformance with city land
use policies without the provision of alternative energy
systems or conservation measures beyond that normally
required by city code.
The preliminary P.U.D. suggests that Mitchell Drive be
extended only as far south as necessary to provide access to
this development and the adjacent Reidman property to the
west. Right-of-way for this improvement will need to be
deeded to the city by both Reidman (west portion) and Fred
T. Hiller (east portion). These negotiations are currently
in progress. It is anticipated that the further southern
extension of Mitchell Drive, including a crossing structure
at Larimer Canal No. 2, will occur as a separate development
at a later date. It is felt that this improvement involves
the participation of several area property owners as well as
the city in order to improve the South College Avenue area
circulation plan.
The proposed site has numerous existing Cottonwood and
Chinese Elm trees. Most are small and appear to be of a
volunteer nature. No single specimen is of a character
worthy of preservation. Instead, the proposed landscape
plan suggests the placement of new street trees and other
plantings of proper species in more desirable locations. An
existing native area will be maintained along the Larimer
Canal easement on the southern edge of the property.
It is anticipated that the construction of the restaurant
would proceed in the fall of 1992, as soon as the planning
approval process is completed and a building permit has been
granted. Construction of the office building may occur in
the fall of 1992 or possibly the spring of 1993.
