not necessarily just do street improvements for
frontages of a property. This will depend on the traffic
study for any development.
Council. Our affected property owner notification
requirements are based on a minimum radius of 500'
from the development property (in all directions),
whether the property owner lives in the City or the
County. There were 543 notices sent for this
neighborhood meeting.
23. Question: Who's the best voice to contact with my concerns, the
mayor? I had to deal with an asphalt plant being built
this close to my house before.
Answer: (City) You can certainly contact the mayor, or your
District's City Council member, if you like. You can
also contact me, the City's project planner, via e-mail,
letters, telephone, etc.
24. Question: To the north of this property, what is the zoning?
Answer: (Developer/Consultant) The property is in Larimer
County. The developer wanted to annex into the City of
Fort Collins but City Council and the developer didn't
see eye to eye on the zoning, so the applicant withdrew
the annexation request.
(City) It is currently zoned FA1 - Farming in Larimer
County. The City's Structure Plan identifies what the
property should be zoned when annexed. That area is
shown to be LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood Residential, which has a density range 5
to 8 dwelling units per acre.
25. Question: What will you do with East Prospect Road? I'm not
happy with the status of it at all. I was told by the City
that Vine Drive would be improved and it has not
been. Let's work on East Prospect Road now.
Answer: (City) We will be working on East Prospect Road west
of Summit View Drive as part of the City's capital
improvement priorities. You can contact Marc
Anderson or John Lang at the City's Engineering
Department (221-6605) for the latest information
about the nature and timing of construction. For East
Prospect Road east of Summit View Drive, it is not in
the City's scope of work. However, these developments
may end up improving East Prospect Road as part of
off -site improvement requirements. Development does
17. Comment: My property values will go down with the collector
street connection.
Response: (City) We disagree. The additional connectivity will be
of benefit to the surrounding area and properties
because it will provide direct access to the commercial,
retail, and employment developments without having
to go out to the arterial streets.
18. Question: I'm curious about the irrigation ditch and how it will
be impacted on the potential high school site with the
widening of East Prospect Road?
Answer: (City) It's not related to this development. Logically we
wouldn't move it to the homes to the south.
19. Question: Does the 1601 process need to be completed before
anything happens on this property?
Answer: (Developer/Consultant) A small development could
conceivably occur before that is completed.
20. Question: What will happen first, the collector street and
associated development or improvements to the
Frontage Road with associated development?
Answer: (Developer/ Consultant) It will be dependent on what
retailers are interested or what interest we get from
other potential users. We just don't know at this time.
21. Question: Are we looking at a 2-year or a 5-year development
plan?
Answer: (Developer/Consultant) We would be extremely
surprised, and pleased, if anything happens in 2
years. Probably 4 to 5 years is more realistic.
22. Question: We'll be notified of everything related to development
on this property?
Answer: (City) Yes, you will be notified of neighborhood
meetings, hearings, etc. All public meetings. After
development plans have gone to public hearing you
can appeal, if you feel the need to, any decision of an
administrative hearing officer (Type I review) or the
Planning and Zoning Board (Type II review) to City

Question: Why would you connect an industrial use to a
residential area?
Answer: (City) First, this requirement is set forth in our
connectivity standards in the City's LUC. Second,
there are connections directly from industrial areas to
neighborhoods to provide direct access for residents in
the neighborhoods to potential places of employment.
The collector street will carry the industrial employee
traffic for those who do not live in the adjacent
neighborhoods in and out of their place of work to the
arterial street network.
Question: What happens if the actual traffic numbers are more
than planned?
Answer: (City) The City would then look into and possibly do
traffic mitigation and apply traffic calming measures.
Question: Is Centre Avenue an example of a collector street?
Answer: (City) No, it is more of a minor arterial street.
Question: When property is zoned Industrial, what is the limit?.
Answer: (Developer/Consultant) There are various setbacks
that we have to adhere to according to the LUC.
Question: You have the same restrictions as others?
Answer: (Developer/Consultant) Yes, we do.
Question: Is there a Phase 2 on the development plan?
Answer: (Developer/Consultant) There is a mistake on the ODP
drawing. One of the Phase 4's is actually Phase 2.
Question: Isn't it like Highway 14, with the frontage roads and
access plans?
Answer: (City) It's a fine line between ensuring connectivity to
surrounding areas and not overburdening a road.
4. Question: Is it recognized that the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) does have the ability to
participate in the planning of improvements to this
interchange area?
Answer: (City) Yes, we work together with CDOT on these
issues.
5. Question: How about the Mountain Vista interchange?
Answer: (City) We did not contribute City funds to that project.
6. Question: What is an example of Industrial?
Answer: (City & Developer/Consultant) The permitted uses in
the Industrial Zoning District are delineated in the
Land Use Code (LUC). Residential uses are very
limited. There are a number of commercial / retail and
industrial uses allowed, either as an administrative
(Type I) review and public hearing or as a Planning and
Zoning Board (Type II) review and public hearing.
7. Question: What will happen in the urban estate area? How many
lots will there be and what will the lot sizes be?
Answer: (City & Developer/Consultant) In the Urban Estate
District you cannot have lots smaller than a half acre
in size unless you do cluster development, which
requires preservation of a significant amount of open
space as part of the development plan. The overall
density, whether the plan is for large lots or cluster
development, cannot exceed 2 dwelling units per acre.
8. Question: Will you explain more about the proposed collector
street running north - south and into our development
to the north?
Answer: (Developer/ Consultant) It would be built as part of
development on this property. It is shown as a
collector street on the Recommended Roadway
Network Map as part of the adopted I-25 Subarea
Plan.
9. Comment: If you put a Dillard's Department Store there, the
traffic through our neighborhood to the north will be a
nightmare?

NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING
Prospect / I-25, Overall Development Plan (ODP)
November 19, 2003
VF Ripley Associates, Inc.
c/o Cathy Mathis
CITY PLANNER: Steve Olt
The applicants are proposing a mixed -use development on an
undeveloped property that is 135 acres in size. The proposed ODP
consists of commercial, industrial, and single-family residential uses.
The property is located on the north side of East Prospect Road and east
of Interstate 25. The existing Frontage Road curves through the
southwest portion of the property and continues north along the west
side of the property. The property is in the City of Fort Collins and is in
the C - Commercial, I - Industrial, and UE - Urban Estate Zoning
Districts.
.......... QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS, RESPONSES ..........
1. Question: When will East Prospect Road be done (widened,
improved) to 4 lanes?
Answer: (City) It's not yet on the City's timeframe for capital
improvements and, therefore, it would be done by
developing adjacent properties.
2. Question: How long does the process take?
Answer: (City) It could take years, depending on the intricacies
and wants of private development in the area. This is
only an ODP. Subsequent Project Development Plans
(PDP's) will develop the area.
3. Question: All the land east of this proposed development down to
County Road 5, will that become City?
Answer: (City) The area east to County Road 5 is within the
City's Growth Management Area and will eventually be
annexed into and within the City of Fort Collins.
