City planner Kai Clear summarized the proposal as a parcel served by existing stormwater facilities and bound by Sinkwafoil, Lafever Drive and the Fossil Creek Reservoir inlet canal. The project calls for a multi-building campus: a central 1- to 4-story building containing memory-care and assisted- and independent-living units and peripheral single-unit and attached cottages and villas. \"They put a really big emphasis on providing an active lifestyle for the residents,\" said Sam Coutts of Ripley Design, the applicant's land-planning consultant, describing Touchmark's focus on walkability and on-site amenities.

Because of the site's configuration and the project's resident population, the applicant asked for two modifications to allow gated access at three perimeter points (gates on private streets at Lafever Drive and Cincofoil Lane, and on private drives along Cincofoil). Staff and the applicant said the gates would remain open during daytime hours (7 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and be closed at night to reduce risk of wandering by residents; emergency access procedures and a 24/7 concierge/call-box arrangement were described. \"After hours, we have a 24/7 concierge at the front desk, and we have a call box on the gates,\" said Ryan Benson, the owner's representative.

Staff recommended approval of the gate modification and of the PDP, with conditions covering the build-to exceptions for certain perimeter units, a trash-collection approach for the villa courts, and final engineering and administrative reviews. Commissioners and staff discussed alternative mitigation for an off-site intersection (Harmony/Ladymun), trail connectivity, bike-rack design and prairie-dog/burrowing-owl protections. The applicant agreed to expand the natural habitat buffer along the east property line and to construct trail connections and other on-site amenities.

In two separate motions, the commission first approved the gate modification and then approved the PDP with conditions. Commissioners cited the city's housing and planning goals and the project's scale and design as reasons to approve the project; votes were unanimous. Commissioners noted that any future change of use or subdivision would require review, and staff said additional administrative approvals are required before building permits are issued.

The commission record lists multiple conditions and technical requirements that the applicant must satisfy in final plan submissions, including confirmation of emergency-vehicle access, finalization of trash-collection procedures for the villa courts, finalized bike-rack specifications, and execution of required easements for regional-trail connections. Touchmark's representatives said they will continue to coordinate with city review teams during final engineering and permitting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Fort Collins City Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting 6/25/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning and Zoning Commission on June 25 approved Touchmark Fort Collins, a proposed 246-unit long-term care development in the Harmony Corridor, and granted a modification to allow gated private streets for resident safety during evening hours.","taxTitle","Fort Collins City, Larimer County, Colorado","taxId",5777,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6165435,"Commission approves adaptive reuse of former HP site for Pickleball Ventures with parking modifications",3217,2272000,5489000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5423728-81226dcbdf6831fc958855b7d0cea82f&start=2272&end=5489","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5423728-81226dcbdf6831fc958855b7d0cea82f/thumbnail_2272000.jpg","/articles/6165435/Fort-Collins-City/Larimer-County/Colorado/Commission-approves-adaptive-reuse-of-former-HP-site-for-Pickleball-Ventures-with-parking-modifications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6165435-315d56569528c551c306f4cfef242917/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450805&Signature=klqQyizJl0QIRRA9l27DeZBBxGaF9LBWUG1YQfJXzF9Sy9O4xVm6eQ66cJEoPiY5GLc51iF8dHukM-mkTCsOAwtkXLByp9fyV8OwKirQPlwFCr1xRacIqZYTWNdEKFS-mWhFSfTLVwS6ONSmJTtLg4LzuBPwnUgvKeCcZdXNwc7tN~aAjxUA0jQlj7seByKu~EU4KgvPOQ8XGL-YWXAXcW3TfCrLucFVIFzZOYGM~XNMMfmNmweScsgLkY9tMZudnwyGCFVwuC2OXAlC7Ay1vSO223DT0emjuiDd3G4CW9veb8JQxfBkXROrq6glsbbPSUFuPAWizRueqq7RiRRzyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pickleball Ventures received conditional approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 25 to convert a vacant building at 4401 Innovation Drive into an indoor pickleball facility with accessory outdoor courts and a future industrial warehouse.

City planner Red presented the site's setting in the Harmony Corridor and described the project as an adaptive reuse of a roughly 4.4-acre property. The applicant proposes to occupy about 36,600 square feet for Pickleball Ventures with 11 indoor courts and six outdoor championship courts; the remaining roughly 28,200 square feet would be for a future warehouse tenant. \"The property is approximately 4.4 acres of property. There is an existing building of approximately 64,800 square feet,\" Red said.

The plan includes site repairs, parking-lot reconstruction, a new pedestrian/bike connection to the nearby regional trail, lighting upgrades, and a 50-foot natural habitat buffer to protect mature conifers on the park property to the north. The applicant said an acoustical analysis shows pickleball noise would be within allowed levels and that the project will add sound-absorbing materials to the chain-link fencing around outdoor courts.

Because the project uses the existing building footprint and a constrained site layout, the applicant requested two modifications to parking standards: a reduction of certain drive-aisle widths (from 24 feet to 23 feet on the west lot and to 20 feet on the east lot) and a reduction in parking stall depth from 19 feet to 18 feet. Staff found the modifications met the hardship criteria and recommended approval. Commissioners also considered a late public comment from neighbors concerned about noise and property values; no speakers attended the meeting on the item.

Commissioners voted to approve both modifications and then approved the combined major amendment and final development plan, adding a condition that the final plan satisfy subsequent city administrative review necessary to finalize the plan. During deliberations, commissioners and staff discussed emergency-vehicle access, which the applicant said met Poudre Fire Authority requirements, and the applicant confirmed plans for LID water quality treatment and trail connectivity. The votes were unanimous.

The approved plan is phased: Pickleball Ventures will build phase 1 (the indoor courts, six outdoor courts and associated site upgrades) and reserve the east portion of the building for a future tenant. The commission record notes continued compliance checks will be completed during final plan review and permit issuance.","The Planning and Zoning Commission approved Pickleball Ventures' plan to adapt a vacant 64,800-square-foot building at 4401 Innovation Drive into an indoor/outdoor pickleball facility and an industrial warehouse, granting two modifications that reduce drive-aisle and stall dimensions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6165440,"Planning and Zoning Commission approves Peterson Toyota expansion on South College Avenue",1794,296000,2090000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5423728-81226dcbdf6831fc958855b7d0cea82f&start=296&end=2090","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5423728-81226dcbdf6831fc958855b7d0cea82f/thumbnail_296000.jpg","/articles/6165440/Fort-Collins-City/Larimer-County/Colorado/Planning-and-Zoning-Commission-approves-Peterson-Toyota-expansion-on-South-College-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6165440-5d330c6972c27c24bc973981c9e73b17/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450805&Signature=JnJ4SnG7siLwueWTXgMYGPWLu-LF~ZpXBL8ALM~7TPqkPXPJw51B9B8n8jIvB9~GMzQKZy1GRv0a65xTd2Z16GbSGf9JBywusUwzUL~ynba5z4VVhjcpF6xyAzLA2IF0T7hBrn4M~5dpfl1lmZPnu~r1Xa5NzqLFrkmv~P3Is8Ll0zY167sD3nTbqqIy3uNL~tXEqCk20zizf8~c2cNxmRsNFg6niECbfRYzUQ-3KzKi4Sr7hPhnwgX-~NI7E4SRHnFO-fT71ORd0sXA1OUFP3a7kGJ6ZUiekBi~PBKJ5gXYSl1iFJp5GuVwmJyP-DojKZ~UZIxfWN502oqF9m0t0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Peterson Toyota won Planning and Zoning Commission approval on June 25 for a major amendment to expand its dealership at 4455 South College Avenue, combining two parcels and increasing the building area by roughly 24,144 square feet.

City staff said the roughly 5-acre site is in the General Commercial (CG) zone and in the Lower Midtown/TOD overlay; staff recommended approval after finding the amended plan complies with applicable land-use code standards. \"My name is Arlo Schuman. I'm a city planner with the City of Fort Collins. The site is located at 4455 South College Avenue,\" said Arlo Schuman, the city planner who presented the staff analysis.

The amendment would raise the dealership's total building area to about 51,366 square feet by replacing an existing portion of the showroom and expanding west onto a former self-storage parcel. Applicant materials show the project includes a new showroom, additional service bays intended to reduce customer wait times, regraded parking, two low-impact drainage basins, upgraded landscaping, ADA ramps and a push-button pedestrian crossing at College Avenue and Kensington Drive. \"Our commitment to the community is anything and everything to do with the community,\" said Ron Embry, vice president of operations for Peterson Toyota, describing the company's local ties and saying the expansion would increase service capacity.

On traffic, lead civil engineer Emily Felton told commissioners the project's traffic was modeled by time of day and that \"for Peterson Toyota, what they're looking to do is introduce traffic not at peak times,\" which the team said limits peak-hour impacts. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about storm drainage, circulation and how the proposal meets design standards. Staff noted the expansion does not add new access points to the site and that the elevations meet the city's commercial design standards.

Commissioner discussion was brief and favorable; a prepared motion adopting the staff report's findings passed in a roll-call vote with all members voting yes. The approval is conditioned on the applicant meeting standard administrative and permit requirements as the project moves to final engineering and building permits.

The commission record shows staff reviewed the site's development history, parking and drainage, and determined the amendment complies with Articles 1' 7 and the Midtown plan policies. The applicant and city will finalize technical plans and permits before construction begins.

Looking ahead, the expansion must clear the city's administrative review and building-permit steps; no construction timeline was specified in public remarks. The applicant said its team would be available to answer technical questions during the remaining review steps.","The Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Commission on June 25 approved a major amendment allowing Peterson Toyota to combine two lots at 4455 South College Avenue, demolish part of the existing showroom and add 24,144 square feet to nearly double the dealership's building footprint. Staff recommended approval and commissioners voted unanimously.","actionData","errors"]
