Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 (303) 221-6750 PLANNING DEPARTMENT 0 • Seneca PUD Master Plan - #50-89 P & Z Meeting - January 22, 1990 Page 1 COMMENTS 1. Background: The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows: N: R-P; existing single family residence/Horsetooth Stables S: r-1-p; undeveloped (Arapahoe/Mountainridge Farm PUD Master Plan, single family and patio homes) E: R-E; existing large -lot single family residential (Skyline Acres) W: R; (in unincorporated Larimer County) existing large -lot single family residential (Imperial Estates) This site was previously approved as the Stockbridge PUD, which consisted of 180 townhome and patio home units, on 30 acres. A final plan was approved for 63 units on 12 acres. The Stockbridge PUD expired in 1984. 2. Land Use: The Seneca PUD Master Plan is proposed as a mixed -use development, consisting of a church site and single family residential uses. The land use mix represents the applicant's best estimate of development potential. As changes in the applicant's land use programming occur, revisions would be necessary to the Master Plan. The proposed master plan is supported by the following land use policies, as contained in the Land Use Policies Plan: 3d - The City shall promote the location of residential development which is close to employment, recreation and shopping facilities. 79 - Low density residential uses should locate in areas: a. Which have easy access to existing or planned neighborhood and regional/community shopping centers; b. Which have easy access to major employment centers; c. Within walking distance to an existing or planned elementary school; d. Within walking distance to an existing or planned neighborhood park and within easy access to a community park; and e. In which a collector street affords the primary access. This site and the proposed master plan addresses these locational land use policies. Seneca PUD Master Plan - #50-89 P & Z Meeting - January 22, 1990 Page 2 3. Neighborhood Compatibility: A neighborhood meeting was held on this project and The Meadows PUD Preliminary on December 14, 1989 (see attached summary). Questions raised related generally to storm drainage, improvements required of the developer and the creation of a large -lot development in an area originally intended for higher density. Staff believes the proposed land uses are compatible with the surrounding area. 4. Design: The master plan proposes single family residential uses in the southern portion of the site, a church site and a regional detention pond. The detention pond would provide detention for areas west of the site, including the Imperial Estates Subdivision. As the property in the master plan is developed, the developer would be responsible for construction of the detention pond. The City's Stormwater Utility would reimburse the developer for the cost of construction of the pond and purchase the facility, to then be maintained by the City. A pedestrian trail easement is shown along the eastern edge of the single family area in the southeast corner of the site. Trail access would also be provided through the detention pond, when the pond is designed and constructed to meet City standards. This trail would provide a link in the City Parks and Recreation Department's proposed recreational trail along the Pleasant Valley and Lake Canal. 5. Transportation: Access to this site is from Seneca Street, via Horsetooth Road. Horsetooth Road is an arterial and Seneca Street is a collector street. The right-of-way for Seneca Street was dedicated with the Stockbridge PUD subdivision plat, which is still valid. Construction of Seneca would be required as warranted by development of the site. RECOMMENDATION The proposed master plan is in conformance with the City's adopted plans and policies and the proposed land uses are compatible with the surrounding area. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the Seneca PUD Master Plan, #50-89. J is HORSETOOTH ROAD a6 g LAND uhr VATA 6XIltINq %oWNC4 rlp to tAI. AKiA rre.41*?, Ac-t ell+W* sMD 0.0 Ac.
