Owner's Attorney at Law Dave Osborn, Attorney at Law 217 West Olive Fort Collins, CO 80521 970.484.2928 E:\DWG\v2007\doc\zoning\v2007.rezoning.doc 4 a) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land, and is the appropriate zone district for the land - This property is the "Gateway to the West." Trilby Road is the only major road that goes west of College Avenue in this area of town. The only other major roads to the west in this area of town are: Harmony road which is 2 miles to the north and County Road 28 which is 3 miles to the south. The proposed Community Commercial will be compatible to the existing and proposed uses surrounding the property. The surrounding properties are: Commercial Development on the east side of College, and Single Family Residential Neighborhoods to the west. The site is at the intersection of two Major Arterials Roads: Trilby Road and College Avenue. The property immediately to the north is under contract for 288 Multi -Family Dwelling Units on approximately 33 acres. It is currently zoned commercial and will allow for the multi -family residential development. The mix of multi -family residential units surrounding the core community center will achieve a compact urban form, City Plan Policy LU-1 1 Compact Urban Form. b) whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment, including, but not limited to: water, air, noise, storm water management, wildlife, vegetation, wetlands, and the natural functioning of the environment - There are no known significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment. Any potential impacts on the natural environment will be protected or mitigated, QY_ Plan Policy ENV-5 1 Protection and Enhancement. City Plan Policy ENV-1 I Air Qualigy Obiectives.

Qy Plan Policy T 4 1 Bicycle Facilities & City Plan Principle T-9 Private Automobiles will continue to be an important means of transportation. Existing and planned residents will have more direct access to the Community Commercial Center because of the location of two major arterial roads with planned bicycle facilities. E:\DWG\v2007\doc\zoning\v2007.rezoning.doc 3 District. This Amendment will include the area requesting rezoning and the property located on the northwest corner of Trilby Road and College Avenue. The amendment to change to Community Commercial District will help provide the needed services to this area of town. The project will have strict design standards and guidelines to assure a unified development that will contribute positively to the surrounding neighborhoods, City Plan Policy LU- 2.2 Urban Design. b) warranted by changed conditions within the neighborhood surrounding and including the subject property - Cia Plan Policy LU 3.2 Amendments. Acknowledges that change will be necessary and will be reviewed and evaluated on a regular basis. There is an existing Community Commercial zoning district within a 'f2 mile north of this property that has poor access into the site an no traffic signal. This existing Community Commercial site is not located at a major hub of transportation systems to accommodate this type of use. The proposed Amendment to the Structure Plan and Rezoning will accommodate a Community Commercial Center for this area of town. Residential Development has proceeded at a faster pace east and west of this site. Trilby Road is now being realigned to the east which will serve a larger population. City Plan Principle CCD-l: Community Commercial Districts will be a community - wide destinations and act as hubs for a high -frequency transit system offering retail, offices, services, small civic uses, and higher density housing. The physical environment will promote walking, bicycling, transit and ridesharing, as well as provide a high quality urban life for residents. Vertical mixed -use will be encouraged. The site is also located next to two (2) Arterial Roads, Trilby Road and College Avenue. This location will allow the potential for a high- frequency hub of transportation systems to include: pedestrian, bicycling, transit, and better access for vehicles, because of the access to this two Arterial Roads connecting east -west and north -south. The existing Community Commercial does not accommodate the potential for a complete `hub' of transportation systems. This is because it is limited to only north - south access and connections. In response to City Plan Policy LU-3.2 Amendments, the Development team has agreed to hold neighborhood meetings to resolve the neighborhood issues pertaining to amending the structure plan from Commercial to Community Commercial. 3.
