Swallow Road, Fort Collins, CO. 80525 LAND USE DATA: Request for 12 residents (instead of 10) in an existing group home, located at 401 E. Swallow Road. COMMENTS: 1. The R-L-M Zoning District permits a maximum of 8 residents in a group home.. This proposal would require approval of a PUD: 2. Parking for the group home needs to be explained, so that any existing or potential impacts may be evaluated. All parking must be accommodated on site, rather than using City streets. The applicant may want to consider placing a restriction on the proposal, that would preclude residents from having autos. 3. The PUD request should address existing and/or proposed signage. Signage should be residential in character (small, low-key), since the surrounding area is essentially residential. 4. The applicant should contact the surrounding property owners regarding this proposal, since a neighborhood meeting will not be required. 5. Although the PUD requirements do not address interior floor space, staff recommends that the applicant provide a copy of interior floor plans, so that the area formerly being used by the property owner as living space (and pro- posed to be converted for the 2 additional residents) can be identified on the floor plan. 6. The applicant should be aware that the group home ordinance specifies the maximum number of residents permitted in a group home. This group home was approved under the previous group home ordinance, which did not specify a maximum number of residents. The PUD process may be viewed as "circum- venting" the current group home ordinance.
