Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (�03) 221-6750 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: October 7, 1991 ITEM: New Creation Interiors at 2712 S. College Ave APPLICANT: Chris Mosser New Creation Interiors, Inc. 2712 S. College Ave. Fort Collins, CO 80525 LAND USE DATA: This is a proposal for a 3600 s.f. addition, for storage and warehousing, to the rear of an existing 3034s..f....... retail store. The existing store is part of the Thunderbird Estates 6th Filing PUD which was first approved in about 1971. The entire PUD consisted of 295,000 s.f. The existing building is approximately 13 1/2 feet tall and the addition will be 22 feet in height. The entire rear of the .7 acre site is paved and used for parking and drives for the various shops on this block of College Ave. The front and north sides of the existing building are landscaped. COMMENTS: 1. The proposed warehouse/storage addition is an allowable use in the HB, Highway Business zone. Because the addition exceeds the allowable 2% change in leasable floor area from the original PUD, this request must be processed as a Planned Unit Development. 2. If there will be no increase in the electrical panel size, then Light and Power does not have any comments at this time. 3. If there will be changes to the existing water or sewer services, then you will have to contact Mark Taylor at 221- 6681 for further information. 4. Your submitted drainage plans are being reviewed by the Stormwater Department. They will return the plans to,you for any necessary revisions. 5. The fire authority would like to review the plans with you to determine if there is adequate fire access and water flow. Please call Warren Jones at 221-6570 to schedule a time to meet. The wall between the addition and the existing building may have to be a fire wall. The rear parking area is needed for fire access, it will be important that this is not blocked off to emergency vehicles. 6. Building Inspection is concerned about -the distance between the new building and the property line on the south side. It should be at least 51, unless the area where the walk exists, between this property and the property to the south, is in an established easement and guarantees that nothing will be built over it. Sharon Getz at the Building Department would be able to assist you with this matter. 7. The transportation department does not have any concerns at this time. Make sure that there is enough room for trucks to load and unload at the rear -of the building.. 8. Street oversizing fees for the addition are $5,252.00 per acre pro -rated for the area of new development, in this case for the 3600 s.f. storage area. 9. A set of elevation drawings will be required as part of the PUD submittal to the Planning Department. Any roof top equipment should be minimized and well screened from College Avenue and the condominiums to the east. 10. Please submit information on your parking situation as well as on the parking situation for the other shops on this block that share the large parking area to the east. Present information on number of employees and customers that you anticipate at your site during the day and in the evening. Also give some general information about who else is using the .area in the back for parking. For instance, do the residents of the condos park back there? Do employees from other shops park there? How many and which hours? 11. You will only be required to amend that portion of the Thunderbird Estates 6th PUD which you own. 12. Staff would like to see some foundation plantings along the east and north sides of the new building to soften the building elevation that is visible from the residential area to the east. The properties to the north of this site have put in some low maintenance, low water demand landscaping which begins to soften the appearance of the large expanse of asphalt and paving on the east side. As properties to the south of you redevelop, expand, or remodel, the planning staff will ask that they provide additional landscaped areas, too. Please submit details of the proposed landscaping, with your site plan.
