PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This is a request to remove an existing zoning condition requiring all develop-
ment to proceed as a planned unit development. The property will remain in
the R-L-P Low Density Planned Residential Zoning District. The 20.33 acre
property is located at the southeast corner of County Road 11 and Country
Club Road.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is a request to remove an existing zoning condition requiring all develop-
ment to be processed as a planned unit development. The change would allow
single family development to occur as a "use -by -right" under the restrictions of
R-L-P zoning. Development not allowed as a "use -by -right" must still be
processed as a P.U.D. and reviewed against the criteria of the Land Develop-
ment Guidance System.

COMMENTS
1. Background:
The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
N: r-1-p; Vacant (19th Green P.U.D.)
S: r-1-p; Vacant
E: r-1-p; Vacant
W: R Residential (County Zoning)
The property was annexed in 1983 as part of a 295 acre annexation known as
Country Club East. The zoning of the entire annexation parcel included the
condition that the property develop as a Planned Unit Development in accor-
dance with the ordinances of the City of Fort Collins.
The annexation and zoning occurred in an era when large areas were being
annexed into the City and the L.D.G.S. was still a relatively new development
review process. The City wanted to encourage the use of the L.D.G.S. and thus
placed the P.U.D. zoning conditions on annexed properties. The P.U.D. condi-
tion requires all development proposals to be processed according to the criteria
of the L.D.G.S. including detached, single family subdivisions. Experience has
shown that L.D.G.S. review of single family subdivisions, or minor improve-
ments such as sheds, garages, workshops, house additions, etc., is not necessary
to achieve the land use goals of the City.
2. Uses Allowed "By Right" in the R-L-P Zone District
By removing the P.U.D. condition for all development, there would be certain
uses allowed "by right" under the Zoning Regulations. These uses are as
follows:
A. Single family dwellings.
B. Public and private schools for elementary and high school education.
C. Public and nonprofit quasi -public recreational uses as a principal use.
D. Essential public utility and public service installations and facilities for the
protection and welfare of the surrounding area, provided that business offices
and repair and storage facilities are not included.
E. Churches.
F. Group Homes, subject to approval by special review.
G. Accessory buildings and uses.

RECOMMENDATION
For the parcel known as the Forbes rezoning, Staff finds that the R-L-P zone
district contains sufficient protection of the public interest to regulate future
development. Staff, therefore, recommends approval of the request to rezone
the 20.33 acres from r-1-p (with P.U.D condition) to R-L-P (without the P.U.D.
condition).
