MR. SEARS THEN MOVED TO ENDORSE THE PROPOSED STATE WIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST.
THIS WAS SECONDED BY MR. STROUD AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
31 7 CHERRY STREET MESSRS. VALLIS AND GLIEB PREBENTED A PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY FOR
COMMERCIAL USE AT THE CAPTIONED ADDRESS, AND ARE REOUESTNO DDA'S PARTICIPATION IN THE
AMOUNT OF $25.853. THIS PROPERTY WOULD GENERATE ABOUT $5.000 IN INCREMENT
ANNUALLY, WHICH OVER A PERIOD OF SIX YEARS SUPPORTS THE REQUEST.
MR. STEINER OBSERVED THAT THIS PROJECT MEETS THE SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF DDA, AND THE
OBJECTIVES OF THE DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC PLAN. HOWEVER, HE SUGGESTED THE BOARD CLAIN"
EXACTLY HOW DDA FUNDS WOULD BE USED, PRIOR TO MAKING A COMMITMENT.
FOLLOWINO THE PRESENTATION AND QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD, THE BOARD FELT IT WOULD BE
APPROPRIATE FOR MR. STEINER TO MEET WITH MESSRS. WILLIS AND GLIEB. THIS MEETING WILL
TAKE PLACE WHEN A DESIGN AND SITE PLAN IS AVAILABLE THAT DETERMINES WHAT PUBLIC FUNDING
WILL COVER, AND THE PROJECT IS FURTHER ALONG IN THE DESIGN STAGE. THE BOARD WILL, AT
THAT TIME, REVIEW THE PROJECT AGAIN.
DDA/DBA AGREEMENT THERE HAS BEEN A STANDING AGREEMENT SINCE 1999 WHICH CONSTITUTES AN EXCHANGE OF
RESOLUTION 2004-01 SERVICES. TODAY THE BOARD IS ASKED TO CONSIDER EXTENDING THIS AGREEMENT, AND ADOPTING
THE ACCOMPANYING RESOLUTION. MR, STEINER EXPLAINED THAT THE TERMS ARE IDENTICAL TO
PREVIOUS YEARS, THE ARRANGEMENT IS EQUITABLE, AND MELTS THE SPIRIT OF THE DOWNTOWN
STRATEGIC PLAN, AND HE THEREFORE RECOMMENDS BOARD APPROVAL. HE ALSO ADVISED THAT IN
THE COMING MONTHS, DBA WILL PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE CCRA CONFERENCE, AND ALSO
IN THE CULTURAL ARTS DISTRICT, AS THIS PROJECT IB FLESHED OUT.
DAVID SHORT SPOKE TO THE FACT THAT HIS STAFF HAS GROWN, AND THAT SOME OF THE WORKLOAD
CAN NOW BE HANDLED BY DBA PERSONNEL. MR, SHORT THEN SUGGESTED THE BOARD CONSIDER
A REALLOCATION OF THE FUNDS — PREVIOUSLY SET AT $2A000 FOR MARKETINO OF DOWNTOWN AND
$8,000 FOR OFFICE SERVICES.
MR. STROUD MOVED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 2004-01 AND EXTENSION OF THE 2004
AGREEMENT 6ETVEEN DDA AND DBA. THIS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT PARAGRAPH #3 OF THE
ACCOMPANYING LETTER OF AGREEMENT WILL PERMIT A $ 10,000 ALLOCATION TO DBA, SUBJECT
TO THAT ALLOCATION BEING APPROVED AT A SUBSEQUENT DDA MEETING. THIS WAS SECONDCD BY
MR. TAYLOR AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY,
DOWNTOWN STRATEGIC MR. STRIKER RECOGNIIED MESSRS. MAPES, FRANK AND WILDER FROM THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT
PLAN AND SUGGESTED THE BOARD MAKE COMMENTS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND CHANGES AND ALLOW THE
CITY STAFF TO RESPOND.
MR. MAPES NOTED THAT THE HEIGHT ISSUE REFERENCED BY STEVE SLEZAK AT THE DECEMBER
BOARD MEETING HAD BEEN RESOLVED, GUESTS WERE INVITED TO POSE THEIR QUESTIONS AND
II -AURA EVELEIGH ASKED THE CITY'S REASON FOR LOWERING THE BUILDING H00HTS IN DOWNTOWN,
SHE ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT MIXED MESSAGES REGARDING ITS DESIRE FOR INFILL, AND
HIGHER BUILDINGS TO PREVENT URBAN AND DOWNTOWN SPRAWL, SHE ASKED HOW CAN AN OWNER
KNOW WITH ANY CERTAINTY WHAT HEIGHT BUILDING THEY CAN ERECT ON THEIR SITE. SHE FEED
OWNERS ARE RESTRICTED IN FOLLOWING THROUGH ON WHAT WAS INTENDED IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN.
MR. MAPES RESPONDED THAT THE CRY IS DEALING WITH A HEIGHT ISSUE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN
MADE CLEAR. THERE ARE NINE ENTRIES IN THE LAND USE CODES WHICH GOVERN HEIGHT, ONE OF
THEM SAYS TWELVE STORY MAXIMUM HEIGHT, THE OTHER EIGHT STANDARDS DEAL WITH
COMPAMSHJTY, WHICH SPEAKS TO RESPECTING THE HISTORICAL CHARACTER OF DOWNTOWN. THE
DEBATE BEGINS WHEN IN ONE SENTENCE IT SUGGESTS WE ALLOW TALLER BUILDINGS, AND IN
ANOTHER THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO RESPECT THE HISTORIC SCALE. IHFILL CONCERNS WERE
STRONGLY EXPRESSED IN NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS WHEN STEELE's PROJECT WAS PRESENTED,
MR. MAPES CONCURRED THAT CLARIFICATION IS NEEDED, BUT ALSO NOTED THAT THERE ARE
SEVERAL BLOCKS IN WHICH IT IS AGREED BUILDINGS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 3 — 4 STORIES, SO 1458
FEET WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED IN THESE DOWNTOWN AREAS.
MS, ULEY CLARIFIED SOME POINTS FOR THE BOARD. REITERATING, MR, MAPES ANSWER THAT THE
REASON HEIGHTS WERE CHANGED, AND IN SOME CASES REDUCED, IS THAT THERE WAS NO MAXIMUM
HEIGHT ESTABLISHED, BECAUSE IT WAS SUBJECT TO COMPATIBILITY CRITERIA. THEREFORE, WILL
WHAT IS PROPOSED IN THE NEW PLAN, NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY CRITERIA. 10 AB TO BE ABSOLUTE?
MR. MAPES RESPONDED NEGATIVELY.

DDA MINUTES

MR, FRANK ADDED THAT WHILE IT IS NOT ABSOLUTE, A LOT OF AMBIOUITY HAS BEEN REMOVED PROM
THE LANGUAGE, AND THUS DISCRETION ON THE PART OF THE PLANNING AND ZONINO BOARD WILL BE
LIMITED. THIS WILL BRING US CLOSE TO ASSURING OWNERS WHEN THEY PURCHASE PROPERTY,
THAT WHILE PLANS, STEP SACKS ETC., STILL NEED TO BE REVIEWED, OWNERS CAN BE REASONABLY
ASSURED THAT THEY CAN GET THE DESIRED HEIGHT, WHERE HITHERTO, THERE HAS BEEN NO
GUARANTEE,
THE QUESTION WAS POSED IF A PROJECT CAN STILL BE DEFEATED BY P S Z. MR. MAPES
CONFIRMED THAT PROJECTS UP TO SIX STORIES WITH GOOD DESION GUIDELINES AND STEP BACK$,
WOULD NOT NEED TO 00 BEFORE THE P S Z BOARD,
MB. EVELOOH DID NOT FEEL HER QUESTION REGARDING PROPERTY OWNERS AND ALLOWABLE
BUILDING HEIGHTS HAD BEEN ANSWERED, AND ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE NEED TO
BRING ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE DOWNTOWN, TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR THEM, BOTH LOW INCOME AND
THE TURN KEY RESIDENCES FOR EMPTY NESTERS, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE ECONOMIC VIABILITY
OF DOWNTOWN. MS. JORDAN POINTED OUT THAT THE END OF YEAR NET TAXABLE RETAIL SALES IN
DOWNTOWN WERE UP 3.4%.
MR. STEINER BELIEVES THAT THE INTENT OF THE BUILDING HEIGHTS PROVISION IN THE DOWNTOWN
STRATEGIC PLAN WAS TO BRING REALITY INTO PLAY. BY REDUCING BUILDING HOONTS IN CERTAIN
AREAS, IT 15 INTENDED THAT THE HEIGHT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IN SO DOING,
THE IDEA WAS TO MAKE REDEVELOPMENT OF THOSE SITES MUCH MORE OF A REALITY. IT BECAME
VERY CLEAR DURING THE STEELE'S SITE MEETINGS THAT THE NEIOHBORHOOD WAS NOT 001HO TO
ALLOW A 168' BUILDING IN THEIR MIDST. WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT P S Z'S DECISION WOULD HAVE
BEEN. THE PURPOSE OF LOWERING THE HEIGHTS BLOCK BY BLOCK IS AN EFFORT TO FACILITATE
REDEVELOPMENT IN THOSE AREAS. THIS IS THE REASON THE HEIGHTS ARE GRADUATED AND
REDUCED AS THEY MOVE AWAY FROM THE COMMERCIAL AREA.
M5. LILEY ASKED MESSRS. FISCHBACH AND MAPES IF. PROCEDURALLY IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE
BOARD REVIEW THE ORDINANCE, AND HAVE THE POLICY AND ORDINANCE OCCUR CONCURRENTLY.
THE REASON IS THAT IF THE REDUCTION IN HEIGHT IS A GENERAL POLICY MATTER, AND IT 13 CARRIED
OUT IN THE ORDINANCE IN TERMS THAT DIVE PROPERTY OWNERS SOME OEOREE OF CERTAINTY, THIS
MIGHT MAKE A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFERENCE. IF THE POLICY 15 ADOPTED SETTING EXPECTATIONS
REGARDING HEIGHT, WHICH THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT REFLECT, THE VIEW OF THE BOARD MIGHT
BE TO DO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, 15 IT THEN POSSIBLE TO TIE THE TNO TOGETHER
PROCEDURALLY, SINCE IT 15 SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE?
MS. JORDAN SUOGE M!M1 TO THE BOARD THAT IT CRAFT A MOTION IN SUPPORT OF THE DOWNTOWN
STRATEGIC PLAN, COUPLED WITH A CONGRUENCY OF THE ORDINANCE, WITH THE ORDINANCE
LANGUAGE RETURNING TO THE DDA FOR REVIEW.
MR. MEADORS MOVED TO ENDORSE ADOPTION OF THE DOWNTOWN STPATEOIC PLAN SUBJECT TO
REVIEW BY DDA OF THE ENABLING ORDINANCE FOR CONSISTENCY. THIS WAS SECONDED BY MR,
SEARS AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY,
CORTINA PARKING MR. STEINER INTRODUCED A REQUEST BY DEVELOPER BILL COULBON TO BUILD A SINGLE PARKING
DECK OVER THE EXISTING MASON STREET LOT, WHICH DDA OWNS. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A NET
LOSS OF FOUR PUBLIC PARKING SPACES, WHICH MR, COULSON WILL IN TURN OFFSET BY
DEDICATING FOUR PUBLIC SPACES ON THE SECOND FLOOR. THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS WILL BE
BORNE ENTIRELY BY MR, COULSON.
DDA COUNSEL HAS REVIEWED THIS PROPOSAL AND BELIEVES IT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED IN A
VARIETY OF WAYS, INCLUDING LEASE OF AIR RIOHT$ FOR $ 1.00 A YEAR WITH A REVERSION OF
DECK OWNERSHIP TO DDA AFTER A SUITABLE PERIOD OF THE. STAFF SUPPOPTS TQ CONCEPT
SUBJECT TO BOARD AND NEIGHBORHOOD APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT, THE DEDICATION OF FOUR
PARKING SPACES AND BOARD AND NEIGHBORHOOD APPROVAL OF THE DESIOW
MR. COULSON WAS ASKED IF THERE 13 A PLAN TO PROVIDE TEMPORARY PARKING WHILE THE SITE IS
UNDER CONSTRUCTION. HE HAS CHECKED WITH FIRST NATIONAL AND KEY BANK, AND MR. STEINER
SUGGESTED HE TOUCH BASE WITH THE COUNTY. THE BOARD ALSO INQUIRED HOW LONG
CONSTRUCTION WOULD TAKE, AND MR, COULSON VENTURED A GUESS OF APPROXIMATELY FOUR
MONTHS,
MS. BRAYTON MOVED TO SUPPORT THE PURSUIT OF AN AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO NEIGHBORHOOD
SUPPORT, DEDICATION OF PARKING SPACES ON THE SECOND LEVEL, BOARD APPROVAL OF THE
DESIGN AND A FINANCIAL AND LEGAL AGREEMENT. THIS WAS SECONDED BY MR. TAYLOR AND
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

TO: DDA Board of Ili rs
FROM: Chip Steiner CyLt
DATE: February 3, 2004
RE: Cortina Project Extension
Last March, the Board committed $1.7 million toward the Cortina residential project.
This commitment needs to be extended for another year. The owner has secured
construction financing and intends to break ground in the next 60 days.
DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
PROJECT COMMITMENT TERMS
The Downtown Development Authority Board of Directors makes this preliminary
commitment to participate in Cortina mixed use nroiect based upon the following
terms:
1. The commitment by the DDA is for a period of 12 months commencing on the
date the Board of Directors votes in favor of participation. If this project is being funded
from administrative resources, it is contingent upon re -appropriation of funds by City
Council if the 12-month period extends into the next budget year. If this project is being
funded through a tax increment debt instrument, the DDA commitment is contingent
upon approval by City Council. Funding type: _Administrative X TIF.
2. The project owner must provide the DDA with periodic updates, the frequency to
be determined on a case -by -case basis.
3. Extension of the 12-month commitment may be considered upon the formal
request of the project owner or authorized representative and must be placed on the Board
of Director's agenda no later than the 12a' month of the most recent commitment term
then in effect.
4. If there is a change in project ownership, the continuation of this commitment
requires notice to the Downtown Development Authority and the Board may, at its sole
discretion, require reconsideration of the DDA commitment.
5. Reduction in the private investment for taxable improvements, here declared at
$13,212,000, of more than 10 percent requires reconsideration of the Authority's
commitment by the Board of Directors.
6. This commitment is contingent upon the completed project being consistent in
scope, use, and design with that presented to the Board at the time this commitment was
made. If no scope, use, and design have been provided at the time of this commitment,
the commitment is continent upon the acceptance by the Board of Directors of a scope,
use, and design as submitted at some later date but prior to any disbursement of funds.
7. This commitment is expressly contingent upon the acceptance and execution of an
agreement between the Downtown Development Authority and the project owner(s).
The DDA Commitment is: Up to $1.687 million, not to exceed 15% of the taxable
value of improvements, six month updates to the Board, and completion of the
project by December 31, 2005.
The date of this commitment is: Febnaa 5 2004

FROM: Chip Steiner
DATE: February 3, 2004
RE: Downtown Business Association Plan
Last month in its discussion about renewing DDA's commitment to the Downtown
Business Association for 2004, the Board suggested looking at ways to enhance that
involvement. Staff from the DDA and DBA have discussed this and propose the
following:
1. Rather than allocate the DDA's current $10,000 commitment between
administrative assistance ($8,000) and marketing ($2,000), staff is proposing
that all of the funds be used to upgrade the marketing profile for downtown
(branding).
2. If the Board wishes to increase the funding by another $10,000 such funds
would be used to develop a marketing program for the proposed Downtown
Cultural district.
3. If the Board wishes to increase funding by an additional $10,000, these funds
would be used to conduct a feasibility study and site analysis for the
development of an amphitheater which would be financed and owned by the
DBA. This is a major proposition and would give us the chance to initiate one
of the catalyst projects for the Downtown Cultural District.
As an alternative, DDA staff suggests that all three of the above be combined into a one-
time funding for upgrading the DBA marketing profile to incorporate the concept of the
Downtown Cultural District (including branding) and to conduct the feasibility of an
amphitheater.
David Short, Executive Director of the DBA will provide more detailed information at
the Board meeting.

TO: DDA Board of D' ors
FROM: Chip Steiner
DATE: February 2, 2004
RE: Running Cashflow
11
Attached to this memo is a first cut at a running cashflow. It shows all known and
projected revenues, all known and projected debt, it allows for new and refunding bond
transaction costs to be plugged in and it lists all reserves the DDA must carry to meet the
obligations of its bonded debt.
Originally, reserve funds were to include categories for DDA expenditures for the
cultural districts and a running statement of funds available for projects. However, it
made more sense to simply plug in a debt service line item for the cultural district and
incorporate additional funds in a new debt issue that would allow for the DDA to fund
projects on an on -going basis.
Line 10. Beginning balance carried forward from the previous year.
Line 13. Known and projected tax increment revenues. Projected growth is two percent
annually.
Line 14. Projects tax increment from Home Depot.
Line 15. Anticipates a $20 million hotel/convention center. How the hotel rooms
actually materialize is unknown. It may be four boutiques or it may be a large corporate
hotel.
Line 16. Cortina increment.
Line 17. Pine Street increment.
Line 18. Mason Street North Increment.
Line 19. Miscellaneous leveraged increment (against a new $1 million one-time
borrowing in 2004)..
Line 20. Increment leveraged by DDA cultural district investments.
Line 23. Interest earnings on revenues. Calculated at two percent annual revenues.
Line 30. Debt service. Shows the 2003 one-time borrowing in 2003 and a one-time
borrowing in 2004.
Line 31. Shows existing interest payments on bonds issued in 2000.
Line 32. Repayment to the City for the DDA's portion of the Civic Center Parking
Garage.
Line 33. One time payoff of the principal of the 2000 bond issue (we may be able to
refund this in a new bond issue and spread the payments out through 2011).
Line 34. City projects the DDA has pledged resources toward. This will reduce
available funds (see unreserved funds below).
Line 35.
Line 36. Payment on a new long-term debt issued in 2004 that pays for Cortina, Pine
Street Lofts, the balance of Mason Street North (if the Board agrees to increase its
participation), a hotel (or hotels) and convention center and miscellaneous other projects
totaling $1 million. Note: the additional $1 million in miscellaneous debt actually gives
the DDA $2 million for unidentified projects (see line 30) and/or for use with identified
projects (such as a performing arts facility).
Line 37. Long term debt on a $15 million borrowing for the cultural arts district.
Line 45 through 49. Bond issuance costs, as yet undetermined. Will have a negative
impact.
Line 55. Shows all the reserves necessary to issue bonds. These are undetermined at this
point but will have a negative impact on the cashflow.
As time progresses and the DDA debates future financial commitments, the cost of such
commitments will be plugged into the cashflow to clearly demonstrate the impact.
The Board should be aware that while growth in tax increment is projected at two percent
it has traditionally (and consistently) averaged around eight percent. It makes sense to
plug in such increases only after they are documented. Nevertheless, the financial picture
is probably better than this spreadsheet depicts.

RE: Thank you letter to Mike Steele, Mike Walker, Adam McCambridge
and the District One Substation
Over the past two years the District One Police Substation has worked very closely with
the DDA and DBA to help improve police services in the central business district. Its
work has had a substantial positive impact on the friendliness of the downtown
environment and in the general relationships between the police and downtown
businesses.
Unfortunately, three of the principal members of District One Substation have either left
or are planning to leave and staff is asking the Board to approve a letter thanking them
for their efforts. The letter is attached.

Dear Sergeant Steele and Officers Walker and McCambridge:
I write to you on behalf of the Downtown Development Authority Board of Directors and
staff to express our sincere appreciation for the programs and services the three of you
and the other members of the District One Substation have initiated and implemented in
Downtown Fort Collins.
Your leadership in documenting the need for new enforcement ordinances, driving the
process to have these ordinances adopted by City Council, and then implementing those
ordinances "on the street" has had a significant impact on restoring downtown's family -
friendly environment. Your willingness to work long, difficult hours, to confront
dangerous situations, to reach out to downtown businesses, and to gently remind us all of
our roles and responsibilities in making the downtown a safer, friendlier place are very
deeply appreciated. We will truly miss that kind of dedicated service.
The Board and staff of the Downtown Development Authority thank you: thank you
Mike Steele; thank you Mike Walker; thank you Adam McCambridge. We wish all of
you the very best as you move on to new adventures.
Sincerely,
Kim Jordan, Chair
On behalf of the entire the Board of Directors and staff
