UNIQUE - LIVABLE - CONNECTED - SUSTAINABLE Neighborhoods with the resources and knowledge to help maintain and improve their economic, social, and environmental vibrancy
![Page 11: Old Town Neighborhoods Plan - Fort Collins, Colorado · 6 • Tonight’s Event : Share potential ideas on transportation & land- use choices for the Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f48a0d57723ce3fcd5bec6b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Land Use – Transition Areas
11
• Land Use refers to the types of activities (residential, commercial, etc.) that exist in an area.
• Zoning refers to the City’s regulations about where those uses are allowed.
• The existing zoning for most of the transition areas is the Neighborhood Conservation, Buffer (NCB) zone.
![Page 12: Old Town Neighborhoods Plan - Fort Collins, Colorado · 6 • Tonight’s Event : Share potential ideas on transportation & land- use choices for the Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f48a0d57723ce3fcd5bec6b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• What we heard at the Transitions and Buffers Workshop (Nov. 4)
- Don’t expand NCB further into neighborhoods
- Around 3 stories is an appropriate maximum height in the NCB zone
- In general, the types of uses allowed in the NCB zone (housing, office) are appropriate
• Potential option: Explore design guidelines for the NCB zone
• Key question: Which building design elements are most important to consider for the transition areas?
Land Use – Transition Areas

Land Use – LMN Pockets
14
• There are several small areas of Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN) zoning in the Westside Neighborhood.
• LMN zoning allows multi-family housing and small-scale commercial uses.
• These “LMN pockets” are surrounded by Neighborhood Conservation zoning
![Page 15: Old Town Neighborhoods Plan - Fort Collins, Colorado · 6 • Tonight’s Event : Share potential ideas on transportation & land- use choices for the Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f48a0d57723ce3fcd5bec6b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Land Use – LMN Pockets
LMN Zoning is shown in yellow
![Page 16: Old Town Neighborhoods Plan - Fort Collins, Colorado · 6 • Tonight’s Event : Share potential ideas on transportation & land- use choices for the Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f48a0d57723ce3fcd5bec6b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• What we’ve heard about LMN pockets
- Analyze pockets individually
- Higher-intensity uses in LMN are not compatible with the interior of the Westside neighborhood
- Non-conforming uses should be minimized
• Potential option: Rezone some of the LMN pockets in the Westside neighborhood to better reflect neighborhood character
• Key question: What do you think about the proposed zoning changes?
