Approved w/Conditions
Conditions of Approval:
Modification #1 – On-street Parking
Member Shepard made a motion that the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board approve modification number one to 3.2.2(K)(1)(B) to consider Strasburg an internal street for multi-family parking and to allow the on-street parking as proposed. This complies with 2.8.2(H) and is not detrimental to public good and is equal to or better than. This is subject to the condition that the street trees along the multi-family section of the project are 35’ center. This approval is based upon the agenda materials, the information presented during the work session, the findings of fact, the staff report, this hearing, and the Board discussion on this item. Member Schneider seconded. Vote: 6:1.
Modification #2 – Dwelling Fronting Streets or Walkway Spines
Member Schneider made a motion that the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board approve modification number two to 3.5.2(D) regarding the relationship with dwellings to street parking to allow three duplex buildings not to front either street, a connection walkway or major walkway. This modification will not be detrimental to public good and qualifies with section 2.8.2(H). This is based on the finding of fact, staff report, the work session, and this hearing tonight. Member Katz seconded. Vote 7:0
Modification #3 – Building Variations
Member Shepard made a motion to deny this modification to 3.8.30 regarding footprint size and shape. Attorney Yatabe requested specificity as to why this is being denied. Member Shepard responded that the footprints are strikingly similar. The standard contains the word significant. Attorney Yatabe commented that the applicant’s justification is that this is equal-to or better-than. Based on the standards, what part of the modification of standard is not being satisfied? Member Shepard stated that it does not meet 2.8.2 in terms of being equal to or better than, it appears to be self-imposed, there is no hardship, and it is not equal to or better than. Member Schneider commented that it is hard for him to tell the difference in architecture from what is normally seen. He agrees that it looks repetitious and looks like mirror imaging. Member Haefele agrees that the buildings are substantially similar. In this case there is not a benefit, it is not equal or better. Chair Hansen disagrees in that they are asking for the modification for the subtle changes and the building end caps help to make them look different. Member Haefele seconded. Vote 5:2
Condition #9 – To Clean up Modification Denied
Member Shepard made a motion for approval that Condition #9 read as follows: Applicant will work with staff and the design team meeting 3.8.30(F)(2) to comply with the standard to the maximum extent feasible. Member Schneider seconded. Vote 7:0
Member Schneider made a motion that the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board approve Ridgewood Hills Fifth Filing – PDP-190018 subject to the eight (8) conditions that were included in the staff report with the additional condition tonight. This approval is based upon the agenda materials, the information presented during the work session, the findings of fact, the staff report, this hearing, and the Board discussion on this item. Member Schneider feels this is a good project. Chair Hansen likes the natural areas and the layering. Member Katz seconded. Vote 7:0
