The applicant is proposing an addition onto the rear elevation of the main building along with related rehabilitation. A previous version of the application of the project included demolition of a non-historic accessory structure, and construction of a new garage building – that work is still proposed but based on approval from the HPC on February 17, 2022, is not included in this application for approval.
This item is to consider the appeal of the determination of eligibility for Fort Collins landmark designation of the commercial property at 1802 North College Avenue.
