Dear Mr.reat�
March 20, 1998
On January 8, 1997, the City Council enacted Ordinance 161, 1996, commonly called
the Transition Ordinance. This Ordinance provided for the review and processing of
land use applications under the regulations in effect at that time (Land Development
Guidance System, subdivision regulations, special site plan review) during the
transition period until the adoption of the Land Use Code and established a temporary
delay in the acceptance of new applications.
Ordinance 161, 1996 established two deadlines for the acceptance of applications that
would continue to be reviewed under the LDGS:
1. January 18, 1997. After the effective date of Ordinance 161, 19961
(January 18, 1997) only specifically exempted applications would be
permitted. Until that deadline, applicants could submit either preliminary
or final development applications and have them reviewed under the
regulations in effect at that time _(Section 6, Ordinance 161, 1996); and,
E
July 17. 1997. As of July 17, 1997 or six months after the date of
approval (whichever was later), all preliminary subdivision plats and
PUDs would expire unless a completed application for final approval had
been -filed. — -
In addition, the Ordinance allowed for the continues processing of applications already
in the process.
The clear intent of this Ordinance was to provide a reasonable transition time in which
valid development projects could continue to be processed under prior regulations
rather than being reviewed under newly adopted regulations. -
Our records indicate that you submitted a Preliminary PUD application on January 22,
1996 for the Fossil Creek Office Pard West PUD. City staff reviewed the submittal and
provided initial comments on February 16, 1996. Since that time, revisions have not
been submitted to indicate this is an active project. Because of this lack of activity and
any other clear indication that you are actively pursuing this project, staff intends to
281 North College Avenue • PO. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (970) 221-6750 • FAX (970) 416-2020
I
take this application to the Planning and Zoning Board for their review on May 21,
1998. Based on the information currently in our files, staff will be recommending that
the Board deny this application. Any further application on this property will be
required to apply under the City's Land Use Code.
If you have been actively pursuing this submittal, please contact me. In order to keep
this project active, documentation of your efforts since you received the City's comment
letter will be needed. Likewise, should you have any questions regarding this
notification, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Blanchard
Current Planning Director
