Temporary Service Changes - City of Fort Collins Development Review
In order to continue providing thorough reviews and giving every project the attention it
deserves, the City of Fort Collins is implementing temporary changes in how we serve our
development customers. As you may be aware, we are experiencing staff shortages in a
number of key departments, which has begun to impact the timeliness of our reviews. We
recognize that development and construction play a critical role in our community’s vibrancy and
economic recovery, and we have been exploring options for mitigating impacts to our
customers. As a result, we will be making some temporary service level adjustments.
Currently, one additional week of review time will be added to all 1st and 2nd round submittals
(increase from 3 weeks to 4 weeks). Lengths of subsequent rounds of review will be considered
after each round of review. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
Response: Noted. Thank you.

Offsite access easements are required for the proposed plan to be approved by Engineering.
These easements must provide a route that will allow the 20% of vehicles that are leaving the
site to the north, to get to the Columbia/College Ave. intersection. If the easements will not or
cannot be provided, the TIS will need to be updated to route the 20% of vehicles elsewhere and
the other site accesses will need to be reevaluated. This could lead to site changes, additional
public infrastructure, etc. if the other site accesses do not function with the additional traffic.
Just to be clear, Engineering will not approve any final plans/plat/DA, etc. or issue any permits
until this item is resolved.
Response: Understood; we continue to work with the adjacent landowners to obtain
these off-site easements for the benefit of the entire shopping center. The KS legal team
has been in constant contact with The South College Shops, LLC and the Kroenke Group
to negotiate the terms and conditions of the Reciprocal Access Easement (REA)
document; as of the date of this submittal package, there is a general understanding of
agreement to the REA and we feel confident to have the REA document recorded in the
coming weeks.

06/14/2021: FOR FINAL APPROVAL [UPDATED]:
Thank you for addressing the utility plans redlines for erosion and Sediment Control, no
additional plan comments at this time. Please discuss in the SWMP Report whether a
demolition permit will be sought prior to obtaining a full building permit on the site, and indicate
what ESC will need to be in place for the demolition portion of the construction sequence if so.
Please address dust control issues and mitigation measures during the demolition process for
the site in the SWMP report. Erosion and Sediment Control are OK to moving to mylars
submittal in the next round, provided these issues are addressed in the SWMP report.
Response: The intent is to obtain a demolition permit prior to full building permit for the
site. A section has been added to the SWMP report under Section VII entitled
“demolition and permitting” which addressed this and details the required controls to
be in place prior to the start of any demo activities.
