Dear Resident/Property Owner:
On Monday, June 11, 2012, at 6:00 p.m., in City Council Chambers, City Hall,
300 LaPorte Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado, the City of Fort Collins Hearing
Officer will conduct an administrative hearing to consider a development proposal
in your neighborhood. The project is referred to as One Boardwalk Place,
Multi -Family — Request for Modification of Standard.
This is a request for a Modification of Standard for a residential project on 2.29
acres located at the southwest corner of Lemay Avenue and Boardwalk Drive.
The parcel is zoned Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood (L-M-N). The site is
partially developed under a previous plan known as Serrano Townhomes which
has expired.
The Land Use Code caps the gross residential density in the L- M-N district at
9.00 dwellings per acre which would allow up to 20 units total. The applicant is
proposing three 8-plexes, 24 units, for a gross density of 10.48 dwelling units per
acre. This is a request for a stand-alone Modification of Standard, not a request
for a Project Development Plan. A stand-alone Modification is allowed prior to a
submittal for a Project Development Plan in order for a project to proceed on a
step-by-step basis, and is valid for up to one year by which time a Project
Development Plan incorporating the Modification must be submitted.
At the neighborhood meeting of April 24, 2012, 48 parking spaces were
proposed. Now, 52 parking spaces are proposed — two per unit plus four guest
spaces. The units would range in size from 1,000 to 1,100 square feet and
feature two bedrooms and two baths. The three buildings would be two -stories in
height.
The City Current Planning Staff and Hearing Officer consider your interest and
input in this matter, as well as your neighbor's input, an important part of the
City's review of this proposal. If you are unable to attend, written comments, or
comments sent via e-mail, are welcome.
Sincerely:
Ted Shepard
Chief Planner
