Proposed Density: (119 total residential Units) 34.59 DU/AC • Parking Statistics: Standard Parking Spaces 95 Handicap accessible 5 Van accessible 1 Compact/Long term parking 68 Total Parking Provided 169 • No new streets are being proposed with this plan. • As an infill / urban development, the project doesn't have open space, and there are no existing wetlands or other natural features impacted by the proposed development plan. The project has common courtyard landscape areas and entry plaza off of Shields St. The project is currently maintained through the ownership/management company. The number of employees for business occupying the commercial/office portion of the project is estimated to be no more than 12 — 16 people. • The rationale behind the site design was to maintain the existing site configuration, as it exists today to an extent reasonably feasible. The location of the new building chosen primarily to achieve the goals outlined in the City Plan and the Land Use Code. The new building location also minimizes the impact on existing site layout. • Construction for the proposed building is estimated to begin in the spring of 2004. Per the Land Use Code, the proposed project would be required to provide 213 parking spaces. The project received modification request approval to reduce the number of required parking spaces to 170. The modification approval was granted for the following: Existing Complex 102 — two Bedroom units Renovated building: 6 —two bedroom Units New 5 story building 12 — three bedroom Units Per the Fort Collins Land Use Code, the approved addition would require 35 parking spaces (34.5 rounded up). With the final site plan design, we were able to only get 169 parking spaces, one short of the approved modification. To offset for the one parking space deficiency, the submitted plan proposes the following: Existing Complex 102 — two bedroom units Renovated building 3 — two bedroom units, 2 — three bedroom units New 5 story Building 12 — three bedroom units This proposal requires a total of 34 (33.25 rounded up) parking spaces, one less required by the approved modification request. n eastpoint - studio November 20, 2003 Mr. Troy Jones, AICP City Planner City of Fort Collins Current Planning Department Re: Cambridge Lofts PUD Dear Troy, A Design Collaborative I am presenting the Project Development Plan for the Cambridge Lofts.
