Interpretation Request #2: A copy of the Final Development Plan, Rigden Farm, Fourteenth Filing is attached as Exhibit C. Please notice Item 12 of the General Notes. This note specifies a use, among others, "...Multi -Family Dwelling Units and any other future uses for the N-C Zoning District". Further, there are no restrictions listed that would disallow any of the uses from the east side of Illinois Drive. It is our interpretation of this Note to mean that the developer has the right to construct multifamily dwelling units on any, or all, of the property. The proposed amendment to the Final Development Plan is a reconfiguration of the approved site plan with architectural revisions for a permitted use. We see no basis in code for a requirement that the building configuration and/or architecture accommodate specific individual uses. We formally request that you inform us in writing if you disagree with this interpretation. in the event you disagree, we request you that you cite code provisions supporting your position. Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you have determined this application follows the necessary form and if it is considered to be complete, clear and ready for review. If it is not clear, complete and ready for review, I would appreciate knowing the deficiencies at your earliest convenience. I loop forward to receiving your reply in the near future. Thank you Sirfcerely,. ,I Vv V Tr o ones, A. P., N.C.A.R.B. Chi f P nner MTA Planning & rchitecture 608 South Mason Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 Steve Dush, Director Community Development & Neighborhood Services 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80524 September 8, 2011 Mr. Dush, This letter is intended to act as formal "Request for Interpretation" in accordance with the process set forth in Section 1.41nterpretations, Subsection 1.4.3 Procedures of the Fort Collins Land Use Code. For reference, I've attached the language of this code section below: 1.4.3 Procedures (A) Submission of Request for Interpretation. Before on interpretation may be provided by the Director, a Request for Interpretation must be submitted to the Director in o form established by him or her. (B) Determination of Sufficiency. After receipt of a Request for Interpretation, the Director shall determine whether the request is complete, specific, clear and ready for review. If the Director determines that the request is not complete, he or she shall serve a written notice on the applicant specifying the deficiencies. The Director shall take no further action on the Request for Interpretation until the deficiencies ore remedied. (C) Rendering of Interpretation. After the Request for Interpretation has been determined to be sufficient, the Director shall review and evaluate the request in light of the terms and provisions of this Land Use Code and/or the Zoning Mop, whichever is applicable, and render on interpretation. The Director may consult with the City Attorney and other City departments before rendering on interpretation. (D) Form. The interpretation shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the applicant. Interpretations that are not in writing shall have no force or effect. Interpretations shall have no precedentiol value and shall be limited in their application to the property, if any, identified in the interpretation. (E) Official Record. The Director shall maintain an official record of oil interpretations in the Community Planning and Environmental Services Department. Such official record shall be available for public inspection during normal business hours. (F) Appeal. Appeals of any interpretation under this Section shall be made only in accordance with Division 2.11. The "Request for Interpretation" is as follows: Property: This request is with regard to an upcoming major amendment application to Rigden Farm 141h Filing, which was approved in 2007. We have provided planning staff with a conceptual drawing showing our intent to amend the approved development to construct 106 multifamily dwelling units on the site using a residential rowhouse architectural form. The revised conceptual site plan is attached as Exhibit A. The conceptual architectural character elevations are attached as Exhibit B. The Issue: It is our understanding that planning staff will not support our amended plan for multifamily units on Illinois Drive unless the buildings are configured to accommodate future commercial uses. It is unclear to us which code provisions are being cited to support that position. We feel that the urban brownstone residential architectural character would be absolutely appropriate for the character of Illinois Drive. We feel this is entirely consistent with the type of transition envisioned within the NC zone district. We truly believe that with the inclusion of urban brownstone residential architecture along the east side of Illinois Drive, it will be a showcase example of a successful implementation of the concepts of new urbanism. Interpretation Request #1: In discussions held on September 6, 2011, you stated that planning staff could not support the proposed major amendment because it would not be consistent with the approved ODP. It is our assertion validating consistency with the ODP was part of the Final Development Plan approval, with the Final Development Plan now superseding the ODP. We formally
