Subject: Recommendation on Parking Plan Update
The Economic Advisory Commission (EAC) has reviewed the Fort Collins Parking Plan Overview and
listened to a plan overview presented by Timothy Wilder and Randy Hensley on February 15, 2012.
After careful consideration and discussion after the presentation, the EAC makes the following
recommendation to the Fort Collins City Council.
Christophe Febvre moved and Blue Hovatter seconded the following motion:
The Fort Collins Economic Advisory Commission feels that parking in downtown Fort Collins
has significant and direct impacts on the economic vitality of this important economic district.
The Fort Collins Parking Plan has good recommendations, and the EAC generally supports the
plan. Nevertheless, the Plan document would be improved if an economic analysis statement
were added. The statement should highlight the short and long term economic risks associated
with the status quo and the opportunities created by the implementation of a sensible plan. As
with all city policies, attention to the impact on the “triple bottom line” of economic,
environmental, and social well-being is important.
