HomeMy WebLinkAboutTIMBERLINE CENTER - PDP - 41-05A - REPORTS - MODIFICATION REQUEST (6)The result is that the setback distance along Bear Mountain Drive is 13 feet beyond the
required 15 feet. Therefore, the north side of Building B and the south side of Building C
do not meet the required 15-foot setback for 30% of the building's length.
The request is for a modification to allow a greater setback along Bear Mountain
Drive for Buildings B and C. The setback varies from 27 feet to 28.5 feet, but is not
15 feet for 30% of it's length.
Justification
A justification for this request per the Modification Criteria (Section 2.8.2(H) (1) is that
the proposed plan will serve the standard equally well or better than would a plan which
complies with the standard. We believe the proposed project meets this criterion in the
following ways:
1. Setting the building back an additional 13.5 feet allows for more landscaping and
patio area for outdoor dining on the south side of Building C creating a more
attractive streetscape.
2. Setting Building B back an additional 13.5 feet would allow for an attractive
symmetrical streetscape appearance.
3. A connecting walkway is provided in the most convenient location to allow
pedestrians to enter the building without crossing driveways or parking lots.

Modification Request
Timberline Center PDP
Build -To Lines
November 23, 2005
This request is for a modification to the "build -to" line requirements as outlined in the
City of Fort Collins Land Use Code. The modification being requested is from section
3.5.3 (B)(2)(a) and (b), Relationship of Buildings to Streets, Walkways and Parking. This
regulation reads as follows:
and;
(a) To establish "build -to " lines, buildings shall be located and designed to
align or approximately align with any previously established
building/sidewalk relationships that are consistent with this standard.
Accordingly, at least thirty (30) percent of the total length of the building
along the street shall be extended to the build -to line area. If a parcel, lot
or tract has multiple streets, then the building shall be built to at least two
(2) of them according to (b) through (d) below, i.e. to a street corner.
(b) Buildings shall be located no more than fifteen (1 S) feet from the right-of-
way of adjoining street if the street is smaller than a full arterial or has
on -street parking.
Project Description
The Timberline Center property consists of 18.5 acres and is located south of Prospect
Road and north of Drake Road on the west side of Timberline Road. Timberline Center
will be a well -planned and architecturally coordinated commercial center consisting of
retail, restaurant, office, storage and auto related uses.
Modification
The west side of Building B is located approximately 11 feet from Joseph Allen Drive
right-of-way line, meeting the "build -to" line standard for an adjoining street smaller than
a full arterial street. The north side of Building B is located approximately 28 feet from
the Bear Mountain Drive right-of-way line not meeting the required 15-foot set back for
an adjoining street smaller than a full arterial street. The west side of the Building C is
located approximately 12 feet from the from Joseph Allen Drive right-of-way line,
meeting the "build -to" line standard for an adjoining street smaller than a full arterial
street. The south side of Building C is located approximately 28 feet from the Bear
Mountain Drive right-of-way line not meeting the required 15-foot set back for an
