City Hosts Open House, Help Plan the Future of Northeast Fort Collins
You're Invited to Update the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan City staff will share project information and the latest plan options, while urging citizens to participate and comment during an open house to update the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan, on:
Wednesday, December 3, 2008
4:30–7:30pm
City Offices at 215 North Mason Street
in the Community Room
(use north entrance, free parking in adjacent lot).
The plan's update began last March and to date we've completed the following: a summary of existing conditions, analysis of traffic forecasting, market research, discussions with individual large land owners, and updates to Boards and Commissions. Also, representatives from Anheuser-Busch have worked with staff to assess potential refinement of lands owned by the brewery. Based on this early feedback, several plan options are now available. Key discussions include:
- how to realign East Vine Drive and adjust the local streets,
- exploring other transportation choices like bus and bike,
- where to put a future community park and community commercial district,
- ways to expand an employment center adjacent to Anheuser-Bush, and
- how to align regional trails.
The Need for an Updated Plan
The original Mountain Vista Subarea Plan was adopted by City Council in 1999. Since then certain area conditions have changed like new development, land ownership, transportation system recommendations and updates to storm drainage plans. The timing is right to have another look at this area and assess what refinements are needed regarding land uses, street network, drainage ways, trails etc.
The plan update began in March 2008, with an anticipated completion in early 2009. A technical team comprised of City staff and consultant group led by EDAW meet regularly.
The planning process to update the plan is divided into three main sections. The first phase I (March 08 - August 08) primary tasks include identifying background information associated with project start up (See link to Schedule Overview). The technical staff team identified key issues, assessment of existing conditions and plan objectives. A reevaluation of the original vision, goals and policies was conducted to assess refinement of this foundational language. The team set up meetings with individual property owners and provided updates to Boards and Commissions during this phase. Phase II (August 08 - January 09) focused on design. A traffic generation assessment by the consultant team will determine future traffic demand comparison between the existing street network and future transportation system to identify planned street classifications and level of service for each intersection area. A market analysis will also be conducted to assess support for the amount of land use designations in the plan area. Framework plan alternatives will be developed to compare different scenarios showing options for land use, street patterns, open lands and other public facilities. Based on input, a preferred plan will be then identified. Meetings with property owners, Anheuser-Busch, Boards and work session with City Council will be scheduled during this phase. Phase III includes developing the final plan from document revisions to identifying implementation strategies and adoption of the updated document. Completion of this Phase is tentatively scheduled for March, 2009.
