The site is north of West Thunderbird Drive and is approximately 300' west of South College Avenue. This property is zoned HB, Highway Business. RECOMMENDATION: Approval with conditions EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to sell used automobiles on a 0.48 acre site zoned HB. The zone does not allow this use, therefore it is necessary to go through the PUD process. The proposal meets the criteria of the Land Development Guidance System; however, conditions regarding additional landscaping and construction of a section of new curb and gutter are being recommended. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 300 LaPorte Ave. P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 (303) 221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT Dollar Rent-A-Car November 19, 1990 Page 2 COMMENTS: Background: P.U.D. - Preliminary, #42-90 P & Z Meeting The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: HB; Existing warehouses and automobile dealership (Spradley-Barr) S: HB; Existing retail (Sutherland Lumber) E: HB; Existing business and restaurants (The Roving Vet, Tortilla Marissa's, Pizza Hut) W: IL; Existing automobile parking/storage (Spradley-Barr) The property was annexed into the City of Fort Collins with the Bartel's 1st Annexation in 1966 and was subdivided as Moore Addition, First Filing in 1969. This property is zoned HB, Highway Business, with no PUD condition attached. 2. Land Use: This request is for the right to sell used automobiles on a site that is presently operating as a rental car lot under a "use -by -right". Automobile sales are not allowed as a "use -by -right" in the HB zone; therefore, the applicant is requesting a PUD approval for this intended use. The proposal achieves 54% on the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart in the LDGS. Credit was earned for a)not at two arterials, c)on a non -arterial, g)energy conservation (use of an existing structure), and j)contiguity. 3. Design: The existing site consists of one building of cinder block construction located to the front and right side of the lot with an expanse of asphalt and gravel that constitutes the majority of the remainder of the lot, primarily the northernmost and western most portions. The building is painted white in color with outside dimensions of 36' x 61', and is approximately 13' in height with a flat roof. There is presently a minimal amount of landscaping on this site, consisting of approximately 8-10 shrubs as foundation plantings at the front (south side) of the building. Additional landscaping is being required along the frontage of the lot to Thunderbird Drive. Therefore, staff is recommending a condition that the applicant provide a 5' wide planting area adjacent to the existing asphalt walkway between the curb and the property line on both sides of the existing 35' MAIN DRIVEWAY curb cut. A minimum of three deciduous trees (either shade or ornamental) and a mix of deciduous and evergreen shrubs with landscape mulches as understory should be included in these areas. Dollar Rent-A-Car P.U.D. - Preliminary, #42-90 November 19, 1990 P & Z Meeting Page 3 There is a 2nd DRIVE curb cut as shown on the Site Plan, located between the driveway easement to the west and the main driveway to the east. This 2nd DRIVE impedes continuous pedestrian circulation potential and creates a conflict with the display of used automobile sales. Therefore, staff is recommending a condition that the applicant be responsible for cutting and removing the existing concrete ramp at the 2nd DRIVE, backfilling with base course and pouring asphalt to match existing, and constructing new curb and gutter to match existing curb and gutter. The signage on the site will consist of one wall -mounted sign board on the front of the building, 2'x 4', totalling 8 square feet on the one face, and a double face, pole mounted sign 18' high with each face being 3'x 8', totalling 48' square feet. The pole is existing and is located just to the left of the front entry approximately 5' out from the building. On -site parking is sufficient for both the intended rental car and used automobile sales. 4. Neighborhood Compatibility: This site, historically, has been an auto related use for an extended period of time, most recently a Hertz rental car operation associated with the former Ghent Motors. Therefore, a neighborhood meeting was not held for this request. The surrounding area consists of an automobile dealership and related uses to the north and west, restaurants and other businesses to the east, a large home improvement center and various retail businesses to the south. This request is compatible with other uses in the area. 5. Transportation: The primary, and only, access to this property is from Thunderbird Drive, a local street. RECOMMENDATION: This proposal meets the Auto -Related and Roadside Commercial Point Chart and the All Development criteria of the Land Development Guidance System. Therefore, staff recommends approval of Dollar*Rent*A*Car - Preliminary PUD, #42-90, with the following conditions: 1. The applicant provide a 5' wide planting area adjacent to the existing asphalt walkway between the curb and the property line on both sides of the existing 35' MAIN DRIVEWAY curb cut. A minimum of three deciduous trees (either shade or ornamental) and a mix of deciduous and evergreen shrubs with landscape mulches as understory should be included in these areas. These landscape improvements must be installed during the Spring, 1991 planting season. Dollar Rent-A-Car P.U.D. - Preliminary, #42-90 November 19, 1990 P & Z Meeting Page 4 2.
