College Ave Ft. Collins, CO 80522 Project: King Soopers No.9 — Modification of Standard 1015 South Taft Hill Road, Fort Collins, CO King Soopers/City Markets has scheduled a remodel and addition for the store located at the Cedarwood Plaza Shopping Center. The scope of this remodel and addition includes a major east fagade renovation which will add a second entry and relocate the existing entry 90' to the north. The store is also adding approximately an 11,600 Sq.ft addition to the north side of the existing 57,000 sq.ft. store. These enhancements are illustrated in the attached elevation and plans. The exterior modifications will fully comply with the Section 3.5.4(C)(1)(a) Facades and Exterior walls and Section 3.5.4(CX1)(C) Detail Features of Section of the Ft. Collins Land Use Code. We are applying for a Modification of Standard to 3.5.4(C)(3)(a) Site Design and Relationship to the Surrounding Community which would require a new secondary entry on the new north elevation. Current proposed elevations do not show a secondary entry and we believe that the following support criteria justify this modification. Ft. Collins Land Use Section 2.8.2 H (3) — Implementing the standard would result in exceptional practical difficulties and undue hardship to the owner. The current layout of the store would place any new entry in the north east comer. This entry would be isolated from store management, customer service and checkout facilities. There is great concern that such a location would encourage theft and be a potential danger as this entry couldn't be monitored in the usual fashion. Additionally, the entry location would be difficult for customers to navigate with a shopping cart. Ft. Collins Land Use Section 2.8.2 H (4)- The existing King Soopers store is part of the larger Cedarwood Plaza Shopping Center. The King Soopers is currently attached to several liner stores each feature store front and distinctive entry. The liner stores face both major cross streets S. Taft Hill Road and W. Elizabeth. The liner stores serve the intent of section 3.5.4(C)(3)(a) Site Design and Relationship to the Surrounding Community which would render the elimination north entry to King Soopers inconsequential. 2680 18TH STREET, SUITE 100, DENVER, CO 80211-3996 303-477-2770 FAX 303-477-4750
