CODE CHANGES CONSIDERED
Working in conjunction with the Construction Advisory Board (CAB) and the contracting community over the past 18 months, the Building Division has assembled a list of proposed revisions to the Building Codes that was presented to City Council at the January 23
rd
Study Session for consideration. An initial set of amendments will promote consistency with neighboring jurisdictions and address issues brought to the attention of the Building Division. The revisions include an increase in occupant load from 15 to 100 before a drinking fountain is required for a business or mercantile use; an increase in air changes per hour for townhouse development from 3 to 4 per hour, adoption of the 2013 Wind Gust Map used by most jurisdictions along the front range, and corrections to remove conflicting requirements between the codes. An additional set of revisions to re-establish a building permit requirement for re-roofing, water heaters, furnaces and pergolas has also been considered by CAB and City Council and staff will prepare separate amendments to allow City Council to review the merits of each item individually

BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, RENT OR LEASE
A SITE FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Before you consider purchasing, renting or leasing a site for your business, please visit the Development Center to talk with our staff. They can help you find out if the proposed use is allowed at the chosen location, tell you about any additional building or zoning requirements and provide information about permitting fees that would apply to the property. Every building is given an occupancy classification when it is originally built. Each classification has different building code requirements, which relate to the type of hazard or uses in the building. A change of occupancy is a change in the building’s use. For example, an office building may become a day care center or a store. Depending upon the type of business, extra parking, accessibility improvements or a sprinkler system may be required.

402 Corridor Study
The Community and Strategic Planning Division is preparing to begin a Corridor Plan for Highway 402. This plan will serve as a guide for residents, property owners, developers, City staff, and elected officials in making sound land use, infrastructure, design, and development decisions in the corridor study area. The primary goals of the Plan are to:
- Provide for orderly, thoughtful and high quality development that is consistent with the community’s goals for the corridor;
- Generate private investment in the 402 corridor;
- Facilitate the redevelopment of deteriorated areas;
- Increase jobs and generate new tax revenue through new development;
- Create a gateway employment corridor to Loveland;
- Understand and identify public infrastructure required to support development, including water, wastewater, power, storm water control and road networks;
- Ensure a coordinated and collaborative approach with other city departments, public agencies and their consultants who are engaged in other efforts on 402;
- Create an infrastructure plan, with implementation strategies and a timeline for improvement of public infrastructure along the corridor; and
- Define an implementation strategy that includes short-term and long-term strategies as well as public, private and public-private financing options, and provide specific recommendations for City Council action.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued in early February 2018 in order to retain a consultant for this project. Work on this plan is expected to begin during Spring 2018 and will include opportunities for public involvement.

Historic Preservation Program
Kelley-Coffman House
A recent addition to the Loveland Historic Landmark Register is the Kelley-Coffman House on North Garfield Avenue, a beautiful example of Cape Cod architecture built in 1940 and currently owned by Shirley Coffman. The land the house was built on was part of an 11 acre parcel owned in 1908 (and prior) by William F. McQuade. In 1911, the “old McQuade” cherry orchard was acquired by Reverend W. P. McNary, a Civil War veteran and retired Presbyterian minister. Reverend and Mrs. McNary were
prominent and influential Loveland citizens. Reverend McNary was one of the most successful cherry growers in the area (see bottom right picture). In 1920, McNary sold the orchard to his daughter, Norah Chalfant. Norah and her husband sold it to her cousin and husband, Elizabeth and William Kelley in 1940. The Cape Cod house was built by the Kelleys based on Elizabeth's childhood home in Pennsylvania. It featured classic dentil work, nautical windows, a widow’s walk (Middle Picture)and a Captain’s stairway. Many thanks to Tom Pitts and Shirley Coffman for the historical and architectural research they did on the property.
