DENSITY CALCULATION:
For the purposes of calculating the overall average
density of a project, the following guidelines shall be
used:
a. The residential portion of the development
shall include the entire property upon which
the residential building is located including
any appurtenant driveways, private yards and
open space; and any communally owned open
spaces, water bodies, recreation areas, parking
lots, private streets, etc.
b. In mixed -use developments, only those
portions of the development devoted to
residential land uses shall be used in the
residential density calculation. Those por-
tions of the development devoted to commer-
cial, services and industrial land uses shall be
excluded from the residential density calcu-
lation.
c. Previously dedicated ROW shall be ex-
cluded from the residential density calcula-
tion. The density calculation shall include
any proposed street right-of-way.
d. Properties which have been previously
dedicated or purchased for any public use
such as parks, school sites, drainage areas,
natural areas and utility substations shall be
excluded from the residential density
calculation.
e. The average residential density of an
overall development plan may be considered
in meeting the residential density criteria for
individual phased developments. (For
example, an individual phase of development
may be approved at less than 3.0 du/ac if the
average density of the overall development
plan is at least 3.0 du/ac). The density calcu-
lation guidelines provided in this section shall
also apply to the calculation of average
residential density of overall development
plans.

RELATIONSHIP TO TRA\SIT AND
CIRCULATION:
The location, design, and mix of housing types and
densities can provide an alternative to traditional
development by emphasizing a pedestrian -oriented
environment, reinforcing the use of public transporta-
tion, and decreasing trip length forthose who drive. To
achieve this objective, a higher concentration ofhouse-
holds should be located within convenient walking
distance to transit stops. neighborhood shopping,
employment centers and other major neighborhood
destinations. Average minimum densities of at least 8
du/ac are encouraged in these areas.
Areas of higher concentration of housing may be
surrounded by lower density residential development
which are more auto -oriented. These areas will be
primarily comprised of traditional single family resi-
dential development (3 duiac). These areas may also
provide uses that serve the higher density areas, such
as schools and neighborhood parks. These areas
typically have too low a density to be adequately
serviced by transit. However, by maximizing street
connections to major neighborhood destinations it will
make it convenient for residents to bike or walk.
New neighborhood built around a variety ojpublic uses, including natural areas, with a mix of housing apes.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY:
Special care should be taken to respect the context of
the site and the character of surrounding existing
neighborhoods. Intensification and redevelopment
must be balanced with a strong sensitivity to protecting
existing neighborhoods.
NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTION:
The protection and conservation of major creeks,
riparian and wildlife habit, slopes and other sensitive
environmental features should be considered and
conserved in the location, design, configuration and
mix of housing types and densities.
MIXED HOUSING:
It is desirable to have a mix of housing densities.
ownership patterns, price and building types, rather
than devoting disproportionately large quantities of
land to a single housing type, for instance, traditional
single family homes. A mix can be achieved be
providing a combination of housing products, includ-
ing single family homes, "granny flats", duplexes,
townhouses, and apartments and condominium build-
ings, that satisfy the minimum density requirement
while maintaining quality design and desirable living
environments.

CHART A-1 COMMUNITY -WIDE CRITERIA
A-1.12 Residential Density
On a gross acreage basis, is the overall average residential density at
least three (3) dwelling units per acre? (du/ac).
The overall average residential density requirement is
intended to set a baseline density standard for all
residential developments, as well as encourage vari-
ety. The criterion is also intended to ensure that the
City meet its housing affordability objectives, encour-
age transit ridership, the orderly, economic provision
of public facilities and services, improve air quality,
minimize urban sprawl, reduce traffic congestion, and
enhance the social aspect of neighborhoods.

The overall average residential density requirement
allows flexibility to respond to changing market con-
ditions. A mix of housing types may be used to achieve
this criterion, some high density and some low density,
provided the overall average density is met. For
example, a residential area may include a mix of large
lot single family (2 du/acre), traditional lot single
family (3.5 du/ac), small lot single family (5.5 du/ac),
townhouses (8 du/ac), and apartments (12 du/ac)
combined to meet an average density requirement of 3
du/ac. Maximum densities shall be set by neighbor-
hood plans and/or by the capacity of the site and
neighborhood to absorb the additional dwelling units.

OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS

OF THE CITY CODE TO ADD INTERIM PHASING CRITERIA TO THE
LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM AND DIRECTING CITY STAFF
TO DEVELOP CERTAIN PROPOSED PLANS AND
POLICIES TO SUPPORT THE ADOPTION OF LONG-TERM GROWTH
MANAGEMENT MEASURES
WHEREAS, the City of Fort Collins, as a home rule municipality, is
authorized by Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution, the provisions
of state statute and its City Charter to develop and implement policies and
ordinances regulating the development of property within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has previously adopted various elements of a
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, as well as various sections of its City Code
pertaining to the zoning and development of property, including the Land
Development Guidance System ("the LOGS"); and
WHEREAS, residential development in outlying areas of the City has
sometimes resulted in the inefficient utilization of property, the premature and
costly extension of infrastructure, and the under -utilization of alternative
modes of transportation; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the proper management of
residential development in the City can best be obtained by developing policies
and ordinances which will encourage the sequencing of residential development so
that such development occurs in conjunction with the availability of public
services and facilities; and
WHEREAS, such timing and sequencing of development will enable the City to:
maintain a high level of quality of public services and facilities and to
economize the costs thereof; retain a reasonable degree. of control over the
character of new development; maintain a desirable balance of the various uses
of land; and promote the increased use of alternative modes of transportation;
and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of such goals, the Council believes it to be
desirable in the public interest to temporarily amend the LOGS so as to establish
certain phasing criteria which will encourage higher density residential -
development closer to existing public facilities and services; and
WHEREAS, Council wishes to establish a reasonable
which City staff can develop, for Council's consideration,
and plans in support of longer term phasing criteria
