Chad, the planning staff presenter, said the proposed one-story, 3,887-square-foot restaurant on a 1.63-acre lot meets many technical requirements (building height, parking, stacking spaces and open space) but differs from the PDO's design intent in several respects. Staff's primary concerns were the percentage of primary EIFS (exterior insulation and finish system) on the building frontage, limited first-floor glazing, the prevalence of wood mulch in planting beds, and small pockets of nonfunctional irrigated turf. Staff recommended approval with five conditions to address those items.

Staff asked the applicant to: (1) replace columns and vertical elements with brick or similar durable secondary material, (2) increase glazing on the primary façade to better activate the frontage, (3) swap wood mulch for cobble or another more durable groundcover in planting beds, (4) remove nonfunctional irrigated turf pockets to conserve water and (5) allow staff to work with the applicant on minor outstanding technical comments. Chad cited prior In-N-Out work in Loveland as an example where additional brick and glazing were used to enhance character.

Daniel Pocus, the In-N-Out representative, said the company had designed the site to meet the PD overlay's technical standards and emphasized brand consistency. He said the company's architecture includes cornices, recessed panel archways, columns, awnings and a parapet roofline that create the chain's recognizable look. He told commissioners the proposal meets the PD overlay and discussed store operations, parking, an EV charging space and a drive-through with stacking capacity that exceeds the town's minimum.

A public commenter, William Welch, program manager for the Ladera project, asked about the interplay between base zoning and the PD overlay and noted differences between the Loveland In-N-Out and the Ladera PDO requirements. Staff responded that the Ladera PDO does not mandate the same brick requirement as Loveland but that staff made recommendations to meet the PD intent for visual interest and consistency.

At the time the transcript ends staff had presented the recommended conditions and the applicant had defended its design. The record does not include a final motion or vote on the In-N-Out site plan; staff indicated it was recommending approval with conditions and further negotiation on specific materials and glazing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Timnath Planning Commission - January 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff found the proposed In-N-Out Burger site plan largely in compliance with the Ladera PD overlay but recommended five conditions focused on materials, glazing, landscaping mulch and nonfunctional turf; applicant argued the design meets PDO standards and emphasized brand and community benefits.

Staff found the 2.72-acre site plan met the town's site-review criteria for the Regional Commercial (with PD) zoning and recommended approval with the standard condition that staff be allowed to work with the applicant on minor, non-substantive edits before final signatures. The commission voted to approve the site plan.

Staff reported the project has a building footprint equal to about 21% of the site, a proposed building height of approximately 28 feet (within the 40-foot PDO limit), and roughly 40% open space. The plan exceeds vehicular and bicycle parking requirements, includes parent drop-off, and locates age-separated fenced play areas at the rear of the site. Kathy Mathis of TB Group presented the applicant's plans; she noted the landscape plan, playground locations and the primary building materials under consideration.

Kathy identified the project team: Christie, who she said is the executive director of the respite care organization, and architect Charles from Neenan. The applicant team said exterior materials include stone veneer, stucco, exposed timber elements and select metal paneling; the design went through the project's review committee prior to this hearing.

Commissioners asked several technical questions about materials and the play area. When questioned about the play surface, Mathis confirmed the darker-green areas on the plan were artificial turf in play areas and that the project retains landscape buffer between turf and other planting areas. The commission instructed staff to include any outstanding minor clarifications in final plan checks. A motion to approve the site plan carried; staff will track final minor modifications with the applicant prior to issuance of signatures and permits.

No specific conditions beyond the standard minor-edit condition were recorded in the meeting minutes.","The Planning Commission approved a site plan for a respite care facility on Lot 8, Block 2 (about 2.72 acres) at 4990 Vista Del Pico Drive.

Staff recommended approval after reviewing the roughly 252-acre amendment against the town's sketch-plan criteria and the town's comprehensive plan. The commission voted to approve the amendment 4-0 at the meeting.

The amendment affects Planning Areas 7 through 15 and would authorize 746 dwelling units within that amended boundary, an increase of 72 units in the phase compared with the prior planning-area allotments. Staff said the change does not raise the overall Timnath Lakes maximum unit count of 1,210 established by the original sketch plan; Jeff Norberg of PCS Group, the project planner, said, \"This is a very simple boundary change for the north phase of the community. We're not requesting an increased number of units for Timnath Lakes.\" Staff and the applicant described the submittal as a conceptual sketch plan that identifies land uses, circulation, open space and density for later preliminary and final plats.

Public comment at the hearing focused on water-supply concerns. Resident Peggy Nelson told the commission she was worried about adding density given recent summer rationing and the water district's timeline to build infrastructure, saying, \"I request that the city take a look at the density of this project.\" In response, applicant and development representatives said portions of the project were already allowed under the original sketch plan and that they have coordinated with the district. John Prestwich, who said he prepared the original 2015 sketch plan, noted the original plan allowed a 15% unit transfer mechanism and that the proposal would remain below the transferable total; he said the proposed 746 units would be less than an allowed 775 in that calculation.

Nick Montalbano, representing the development team, described steps the applicant has taken with the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District to accelerate water-line construction and to limit irrigation work during the drought, saying they had \"voluntarily agreed not to continue installation of sod and seed throughout the summer\" and that they were pursuing additional conservation measures and native-seed areas to reduce irrigation needs.

Staff explained the amended design relocates the previously proposed northern retention pond to a different basin and replaces it with a linear park containing both hard- and soft-surface trails, four pocket parks and other usable open spaces. The amendment also shows connections to the town's regional trail network and keeps proposed densities within the limits of the underlying zoning districts (R-U, R-3 and RMU).

The commission asked staff and the applicant to continue coordination with referral agencies, especially the water district, and to provide more detailed neighborhood meeting documentation in future submittals. With that, a motion to approve the sketch plan amendment carried 4-0.

The commission's approval includes staff's standard condition allowing the planning department to work with the applicant on minor, non-substantive edits before final signatures.","The Timnath Planning Commission on Jan. 7 approved a sketch plan amendment for the Timnath Landing subdivision that reallocates units and replaces a proposed northern lake with park and trail features; staff found the amendment consistent with the town's land-use maps and comprehensive plan, and the commission approved the item 4-0.","actionData","errors"]
