THE TOWER SHOPPES
Statement of Planning Objectives
June 6, 1994
The Tower Shoppes is a key element in achieving the goal of "Creating a successful
mixed use development" established with the approval of the Pinecone ODP in 1992. This
proposed preliminary PUD is planned to include a major grocery (or alternative anchor) store,
multi -tenant retail space, and three "pad" sites on approximately 11 acres at the northeast
corner of Timberline Road and Horsetooth Road. The center is designed to complement the
adjacent Fort Collins High School, with close coordination between the School District and the
developer regarding allowed uses, building materials, pedestrian circulation, future transit
service, storm drainage, utilities, and governance. Employment at this site is estimated at up
to 200 t upon completion of construction.
As established with the Pinecone ODP, Neighborhood Commercial and/or Business
Service uses are appropriate at this location, and are consistent with the applicable Land Use
Policies of the City of Fort Collins, including those policies promoting maximum utilization of�
land within the city; encouraging the use of alternative transportation modes; discouraging
commercial development from gaining primary access from College Avenue; giving preferential
consideration to urban development proposals with are contiguous to existing development
within the city limits; and locational criteria for commercial/business types of uses.
The scale of the proposed buildings forms a transition between the larger high school
structure to the north, and the residential uses to the south and east. Extensive perimeter
landscaping along Timberline and Horsetooth is planned in character with the landscape plans
for Fort Collins High School.
Development of the site may begin in late 1995, with completion of full site
development anticipated between 1998 and 2001. —
