Prospect Road Fort Collins, CO 80525 LAND USE DATA: This is a proposal for a 4800 square foot storage building...on..a 30,000 square foot lot of the Evergreen Industrial Park subdivision. The first phase would be for an indoor storage building. Future phases would include outdoor storage areas and possibly an additional building for indoor storage. The lot is proposed to be fenced with a 6' high chain link fence. There would be not repair facilities, lights, bathrooms, heat, or water on site. COMMENTS: 1. The property is currently zoned IL, Limited Industrial, which allows this use as a use by -right. Any outside storage would have to be completely enclosed with a fence. 2. The project could either be reviewed as an IL, Site Plan Review following all of the requirements of the IL Zoning District, or as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) where the requirements for landscaping, parking, and site design could be more flexible. I have attached to this letter, information on both processes. 3. The parking code would be in effect with the IL Site Plan __Review. This would require that any areas used for parking of hi vecles,_ boats,---rv's, etc. be paved -according— to_City_ standards. The landscape requirements for the Site Plan Review are 1) 5' of landscaping along all adjacent property lines, 2) 10' of landscaping behind the sidewalk on Red Cedar Circle, and 3) a minimum of 6% of the interior parking area shall be landspaped. 4. If you decide to put in lighting or an electric security system, Light and Power normal development charges would apply. You can pay for those charges at the time of construction of phase one, or pay as you get power service. .Keep in mind that Light and Power charges increase nearly every year. 5. There are existing water and sewer mains in Red Cedar Circle. N4 6. A storm water drainage report will be required to be submitted with your site plan. No on -site detention is required in this area. The site can be made to drain to the street. If the drainage will be crossing adjacent properties you will need to acquire off-site'drainage easements prior to final approval. Storm drainage fees are $10,000 per acre in this basin. If you are able to provide on -site detention, the fees may be reduced. If the parking is gravel, drainage fees could be reduced by the appropriate run-off .coefficient. 7. The site is not located in the flood plain. 8. The normal building permit submittal will apply. Any building larger than 5,000 square feet would require special fire containment construction. A second building would be allowed as long as the buildings were separated by the required fire code distance, equipped with fire sprinklers, or meet fire containment construction requirements and meet the building to lot ratio as specified in the IL zone (the minimum lot area shall be the equivalent of 2 times the total floor area of the building). 9. To meet the fire access code you either need to provide a minimum drive width of 20' completely circling the building, or provide a clear emergency vehicle turn around behind the building (minimum 20' inside radius, 40' outside radius circle) of approved road base material. 10. Water supply for fire fighting should be adequate in the area, with the existing fire hydrant locations. If you add a second building, you may need an additional hydrant closer to the site. The building needs to be within 400' of a fire hydrant. The Fire Authority will review your plans to make sure that you have both adequate access and water supply. Please indicate existing hydrants on your plans. 11. As this use will create minimal traffic impacts on the surrounding -neighborhood, no traffic impact study will be _ required. If you submit this project as a PUD, a letter addressing the expected traffic that this use will generate, will need to be submitted with your plans. This letter should indicate the number of trips expected per day or week, as well as the time of day that these trips will occur. 12. A 4', attached to the curb, sidewalk will be required to be constructed along this property's street frontage on Red Cedar Circle. Also, any damaged curb, gutter, and sidewalk along this property shall be repaired with this request. 13. Street oversizing fees for the proposed storage use are $5252.00 per acre. 14. The landscaping requirements, especially the interior landscaping, will be crucial to this project since so much of the site is paved. Landscaping will require an irrigation system, most likely necessitating a water tap. Uses which are existing in the area without landscaping were most likely approved before there were requirements for landscaping or were approved in the County. All future development requests in this area will be required to conform to the same kinds of landscaping requirements that this project faces. . 15. The Planning Staff will be concerned with the appearance of the building from the street, as well as the appearance of the outdoor storage area from the street and adjacent property lines. Planting a row of drought tolerant trees or high shrubs behind the fence will effectively screen the outdoor storage area, as well as the appearance of the chain link fence. 16. If you anticipate having employees, you will be required to provide 2 parking spaces for every 3 employees.
