Scope of Services
P975 North College Avenue Corridor Market Analysis
BACKGROUND
The City of Fort Collins is seeking a tailored market analysis to effectively address a set of
questions regarding realistic development potential in the North College Avenue Corridor, which
is an aging commercial strip just north of downtown developed in an ad hoc manner starting in
the 1950's.
This Corridor is identified as a "targeted redevelopment area" in the City's Comprehensive Plan,
known as City Plan. It is part of a whole approach to continuing challenges of growth and
change. (See two attached maps.)
The area is characterized by inadequate infrastructure and obsolete, inefficient development. It
is zoned for mixed use, with a complete range of uses permitted —from industrial to commercial
to residential. Although the City has focused considerable attention on planning and on
retrofitting infrastructure, redevelopment has been slow and spotty. A large floodplain is part of
the reason for this, and a City drainage project to remove the floodplain is underway. (The
floodplain is completely altered by past development, irrigation ditches, and farming, and is not
visibly apparent.)
URBAN RENEWAL PLAN
The City, working with property and business owners, has recently adopted an Urban Renewal
Plan (URP) for the North College Corridor, as enabled by Colorado's Urban Renewal Law. The
URP process raised a number of questions about realistic market potential for the area.
The City is seeking specific answers to the set of questions, as follows:
• What kinds of development projects are realistic in the short and long term future?
• What specific types of industries, businesses, and housing are realistically suited to the
area? How much can we expect, and over what time period? What type of retail is
realistic? How much can we expect, and over what time period?
• How much tax increment should we realistically expect to generate from the area?
• Are there land uses that would distract from the vision for the area that we should avoid?
• How can adopted vision, goals, and policies for the area be implemented? Based upon
the findings of the market analysis, are there any recommended changes to the adopted
vision, goals, and policies?
• What inherent constraints and unique opportunities are intrinsic to the area's northern
city edge location; its highway traffic with components of regional tourism and trucking;
its association of small businesses; its tendency for auto -related uses; its collection of
social services; its mobile homes and other affordable housing nearby; etc.?
• How does the area fit within the context and hierarchy of other commercial and mixed
use areas of Fort Collins and region?
2/9/00
• Are there any mutual benefits, impacts, or implications between North College and
downtown, which adjoins the North College Corridor to the south?
• How should the Urban Renewal Authority participate strategically in public/private
partnerships to promote desirable development projects (e.g. what qualities should it
look for; what gaps should it cover; should it be proactive vs reactive toward certain
goals; etc.)?
The consultant team will apply expertise and experience to provide an assessment of
development potential that is realistic and specific, with these questions in mind.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this market analysis is to enable the Urban Renewal Authority to act strategically
in supporting redevelopment and other projects to remedy the blighted conditions in the area.
The consultant team will be expected to present their findings to area property and business
owners, Planning and Zoning Board, and City Council (acting as the URA Board).
City Staff will provide information on the existing vision, goals and policies for the area along
with mapping and data support.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The desired time frame for completion of the analysis is May 31, 2005.
