Box W • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6710 CONCEPTUAL REVIEW STAFF COMMENTS MEETING DATE: March 2, 1992 ITEM: Colorado Camera Repair APPLICANT: Doug and Mary Donaldson 1110 W. Prospect Road Fort Collins, CO 80526 LAND USE DATA: .This is a proposal for a camera repair and retail business in an existing residence located at 1110 W. Prospect Road at the northwest corner of Prospect and Shields. COMMENTS: 1. The property is zoned RL,.Low Density Residential. The proposed use is not an allowable use in the zone and the project would have to be reviewed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). 1. 2. Continue to work with Mark Sears from Engineering to stay informed about the latest.design schemes for Prospect Road. The widening project is still in the design stages, but it is likely that about 18' of the south property and 12' of the east side will be needed. Depending on future uses to the south, there could one day be a median in Prospect at this location. 3. Light and Power will coordinate the undergrounding of power to your residence with the new street light project at the intersection. 4. If you are increasing the amount of impervious surface on the site with additional buildings or paved areas, you will need to address how the additional storm run-off will be handled. You will need to show a sketch of the area, drainage patterns, and where and how storm water flows off the site. If you will not be increasing the amount of paved area, please submit a letter addressed to Susan Hayes at the Stormwater Utility, stating this. 5. If you are required to provide more parking, because the amount of activity generates the need for additional parking, then the Stormwater development fee of $5590.00 per acre, prorated for the amount of new paved area, will apply at the time of building permit or certificate of occupancy. 6. A neighborhood meeting will be required. I will enclose some information on neighborhood meetings. Staff can not stress enough, how important it will be for you to work with the neighborhood,_.• your neighbors and the Prospect Shields Neighborhood Group, in particular. i 7. It will be very important for you to give an accurate description of your goals, objectives, and future expansion ideas at the time of the neighborhood meeting and with your project submittal. 8. Please include a description of your expansion goals, number of employees you. envision in the future, and the square footage of your proposed retail area. Your PUD should include realistic expansion goals about the number of employees and scale of the business. 9. A traffic study will be required as part of the PUD submittal. Contact Rita Davis at Transportation for further information about what the traffic report should entail. It will likely depend on the level of activity that you envision on the site,. The traffic study should address the amount of parking that your business will require. 10. The PUD .will be reviewed against the Business Service Uses Point Chart of the Land Development Guidance System. I will include a copy of that chart for your information. If you are not able to make the 50% level, Staff would either recommend denial of the project to the Planning and Zoning Board, or you could request and substantiate a variance. Variance have been granted in the past. You will be required to address some of the Energy Conservation Points,'if you fall short of the 50% without them. 11. A water meter will be required to be installed if the residence is converted to a business. 12. I will enclose some additional information about submittal requirements. If you have questions about this, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
