• DISCUSSION AGENDA
1. Phase 1 Land Use Code Update
PROJECT
DESCRIPTION:
The LUC Phase 1 project began in summer 2021. Work completed to date
includes:
• Policy analysis and synthesis (Summer 2021)
• A series of community engagement events to inform and seek input
(September/October 2021)
• An Equity and Opportunity Assessment (November 2021)
• Completion of a Diagnostic Report (January/February 2022)
• Code drafting
This effort has also been informed by two rounds of briefings with
Councilmembers and Council work sessions in November 2021 and February
2022, as well as many presentations to Boards and Commissions and
community groups. Groups engaged to date include, but are not limited to:
Planning and Zoning Commission, Affordable Housing Board, Economic
Advisory Board, Historic Preservation Commission, multiple affordable housing
providers (e.g. Housing Catalyst, CARE housing, Habitat for Humanity, Neighbor
to Neighbor), League of Women Voters, Partnership for Age-Friendly
Communities, Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce, and a LUC Phase 1 working
group of frequent Code users who are advising staff on technical code items.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will also consider, and provide City
Council a recommendation for, the renaming of the Neighborhood Conservation
Low Density District, the Neighborhood Conservation Medium Density District,
and the Neighborhood Conservation Buffer District, to rename such zone
districts as the Old Town District (OT), which is comprised of three subdistricts,
OT-A, OT-B, and OT-C. This renaming is being addressed as a rezoning under
the Land Use Code and is being considered in association with the Phase 1
Land Use Code Update. No changes to the zone district boundaries are
proposed.
