Kacee, the amount of work for the Planning and Zoning Board to address is accumulating
quickly and I think it is important to keep as much of that work moving forward as possible.
Although meeting in person has proven to be more efficient and effective, members of the
board have expressed mixed feelings regarding resuming in person meetings at this point.
Until we have quorum of board members comfortable with meeting in person believe that
continuing to hold virtual Planning and Zoning Board meetings is the most prudent action at
this time.

Discussion Agenda:
5. Mosaic Condos PDP200003
Project Description: This is a request for a Project Development Plan to build 14 multi-family two story condo
buildings, totaling 112 dwelling units, located at the southeast corner of N Timberline Dr and E Vine Dr. The
property is within the Low-Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN) zone district and is subject to Planning and
Zoning Board (Type 2) Review.
Recommendation: Approval
Secretary Manno reported that there has been no citizen emails or letters received.
Staff and Applicant Presentations
Planner Wray gave a brief verbal/visual overview of this project and further response to work session questions.
John Beggs, Russel + Mills and Patrick McMeekin, Hartford Homes, also provided a brief verbal/visual
presentation.
Public Input (3 minutes per person)
David Finkelstein, resident, he feels it is nice to see the development. He feels it is missing the pool feature and
would like to know where was it moved to? Questioned Patrick McMeeken on the pool. Chair Hansen commented
that this is not for the Board to get involved with and could be brought to the developer outside of the hearing.
Hannah Love, resident of Mosaic, what is the plan for traffic leaving onto Timberline?

Staff Response
Planner Wray responded to the zoning of the project and spoke to the parking availability.
Planner Wray responded to that there is plan for a future neighborhood center and potential for a recreational pool.
David responded to the location of the pool, stating it would be located in extreme South portion of the project
location.
Engineer Wilkinson responded to the traffic flow question. There are plans for International and Timberline.
Timberline and Vine is also set for update and in the design phase. These two plans will help with flow.
Board Questions / Deliberation
Chair Hansen questioned the standards of building variation and footprint. Planner Wray walked through the
changes made with materials, colors, and finishes. Chair Hansen also questioned the condition of approval and the
setbacks. Planner Wray responded no.
Member Katz requested verification from Chair Hansen regarding his previous question and if Chair Hansen was
asking for a different unit mix. Chair Hansen responded not necessarily and that is could be discussed during
deliberation.
Member Hogestad requested information on the easement. What is the easement? Has it been recorded? Where
is the North West property line? Planner Wray explained there is a 30’ easement along the trail, the North East
section. The plat has not been recorded; this happens after final plan review approval. South East from Timberline
to Vine is the entire easement.
Member Hogestad, 3.4.7, is it drawn from the property line? Planner Bzdek responded yes, and that the drawing is
correct with the 200’ buffer. This is based on the parcel boundary, 200’ from the parcel boundary. Member
Hogestad questioned if the drawing is correct. Planner Bzdek commented that most critical is the overlap and the
historical influence area, this is the area where 3.4.7 would apply. Planning Manager Everett did confirm that the
drawing is an accurate scale of the buffer.
Chair Hansen, 3.8.30(f)(2), does the variation of footprints apply to the code? The footprints look nearly identical.
Planner Wray explained that there is variation of shape, when you look at the site plan, the locations look similar,
but when you look at the detail, there are differences in the shape. Patrick Meeken commented that cantilevers
were added to meet the intent of the code. Chair Hansen is not seeing any minor variations, he feels that a good
job has been done making the buildings look different on the outside, but the footprints are all the same. Member
Hogestad wanted to know if elevations were shown. Member Hobbs asked why a modification was not considered?
Planner Wray commented that they were looking at the design differences on this project.
Member Schneider does not feel others will notice the buildings are similar in shape. As long as the architectural
design and features are different. This is how they bring in a product line at or under $300k.
Member Schneider made a motion the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board approve Mosaic Condo
PDP200003 based on the agenda materials, information presented during the work session and this
hearing, and the Board discussion with the following findings of the information, findings of fact,
conclusions, content of the staff report included in the agenda materials and the condition of approval as
staff has recommended for this hearing shall be adopted by this Board. Member Whitley seconded.
Member Hogestad is concerned that this project should have a modification, and we do not want to set the wrong
precedent. It is a good project and needs to follow the correct procedure. Member Hobbs has concerns over the
lack of difference in the footprint with the project and perhaps the procedure. However, will be supporting the
project. Member Haefele did not realize the nuances in the code. It is clear that this is a good project with a miner
modification to the standards saying they were achieving an affordable condo by using the dame footprint and
varying superficial cosmetic differences on the outside to meet the building variation. Member Schneider has trust
in staff of their review. Member Katz feels that there is not a need to delay the project but is on the fence. Vote:

Project Description: This is a request for consideration of a Project Development Plan for the construction of a
11,140 square foot small-scale solar energy system capable of generating up to 210 kilowatts of electricity. The
solar energy system, featuring rows of ground-mounted solar panels, and emergency access road, perimeter
fencing and landscaping. The project is located within the Waterglen PUD just north of Rabbit Brush Park in the
Low-Density Mixed Use (L-M-N) Zone District.
Recommendation: Approval
Secretary Manno reported that public comments were updated with an unredacted version.
Staff and Applicant Presentations
Planner Kleer gave a brief verbal/visual overview of this project.
Ian Skor and AJ Lyle, Sandbox Solar also provided a brief verbal/visual presentation.
Public Input (3 minutes per person)
Matt McCarthy, resident, would like to know the Timeline for the project and if there are plans expanded in the
future or is this the only project and this will be the final footprint.
Michael and Gillian Christensen, 3850 Gardenwell Ct., has concerns about the access point, and how the plants
are going to be maintained, if they die will they be replaced and if the tree money can go to the Board.
Staff Response
Ian Skor responded to the project timeline. Installation of the panels will take a couple of weeks; road base will take
a week or less. All equipment will fit on the access road and will not bother neighbor’s property. The landscaping
will follow the City of Fort Collins recommendations. There is also irrigation available by the property owner.
Planner Kleer spoke to the species of the trees. The species of the tree is in the development plan. The footprint is
based on the constraints of the property. This site is optimized at this point. Dust will be controlled through erosion
control and when working it will be watered down to prevent fugitive dust. Environmental Planning worked closely
with the landscape architect and the applicant to ensure the establishment of the landscaping. They are collecting
an increased escrow to cover costs if the applicant does not plant to specifications.
Board Questions / Deliberation
Member Haefele asked about the preliminary approvals of the less than 10’ access and the floodplain use and at
what point are these final? Planner Kleer responded that they are finalized during building permit. Who purchases
the power? Rhonda Gatskey responded that the City can buy, for 20 years, at a non-escalating rate, from a local
project. They enter into an interconnection agreement to ensure that it is safely interconnected to our electric grid.
The City also has a 20-year power purchase agreement for the terms of the procurement of the energy over that
period.
Member Hogestad feels it is disturbing that the access road is too close and allows entry for those that do not
belong in the area. Could there be a gate? Planner Kleer commented that it could be an ask that something be put
into place. There will be signage for PFA as it stands right now.
Member Schneider made a motion the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board approve Waterglen Solar
Array PDP190010 based on the agenda materials, information presented during the work session and this
hearing, and the Board discussion with the following findings of the information, findings of fact,
conclusions, content of the staff report included in the agenda materials be adopted by this Board. Member

Manufactured Housing Land Use Code Changes
Thursday, July 16, 2020 | Page 2 of 6
Back to Top
1. Project Introduction
A. BACKGROUND
Manufactured housing communities and manufactured homes are a unique type of housing and among the most
affordable housing options in the community. The Fort Collins City Council has identified manufactured housing
preservation as a priority, and in August 2019 initiated a one year moratorium on the City’s acceptance of
development applications that would result in the loss of manufactured housing units in manufactured housing
communities while additional preservation and residents’ rights strategies are explored.
One preservation strategy identified is the development of a new manufactured housing zone district which would
promote City policies and goals to help maintain opportunities for manufactured home living and to prevent the
displacement of residents. The development of new manufactured housing in Fort Collins is rare and the community
has slowly been losing manufactured housing parks over the past several decades, primarily due to redevelopment.
The loss of manufactured housing communities often results in the loss of hundreds of units, some of which are
among the most affordable types of housing in the community.
The proposed Manufactured Housing (M-H) District is intended to help promote the preservation of the City’s
remaining manufactured housing communities by ensuring these land uses are located in a zone district where
manufactured housing is encouraged and less susceptible to closure resulting from large scale redevelopment.
Prior to 1997, the City previously employed two mobile home park zone districts, and the new manufactured housing
zone district shares many similarities with these former districts in terms of both permitted land uses and
development standards.
While this item is for a Planning and Zoning Board’s recommendation to City Council for the adoption of Land Use
Code changes to implement the new M-H district, additional related conversations, meetings, and hearings are
anticipated in the coming months to consider the rezoning of certain properties to the new zone district if and when
it is established.
B. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN & CITY POLICY ALIGNMENT
In addition to a City Council priority, the preservation of manufactured and affordable housing is prominent within
the policies and goals of the recent update to City Plan, Fort Collins’ comprehensive plan. Key policies from City
Plan that align with these proposed code changes include:
Policy LIV 6.4 – Permanent Supply of Affordable Housing
Create and maintain an up-to-date inventory of affordable housing in the community. Pursue policy and regulatory
changes that will encourage the rehabilitation and retention of affordable housing in perpetuity.
Policy LIV 6.9 – Prevent Displacement
Build the capacity of homeowner groups, affordable housing providers and support organizations to enable the
purchase, rehabilitation and long-term management of affordable housing. Particular emphasis should be given to
mobile home parks located in infill and redevelopment areas.
Policy LIV 6.9 – Mitigate Displacement
Consider mitigation strategies to assist residents displaced through the closure of manufactured housing parks or
conversion of rental apartments, including single-room occupancy units, to condominiums or other uses.
In addition to these City Plan policies, in 2013 the City completed the Affordable Housing Redevelopment and
Displacement Mitigation Strategy report. Among its recommendations was the development and implementation
of a new manufactured housing zoning district for manufactured housing communities that serve as significant
Packet Pg. 13

Back to Top
sources of affordable housing. The proposed M-H zone district and associated Land Use Code changes build
upon these prior recommendations alongside recent stakeholder discussions and outreach.
2. Summary of Proposed LUC Changes
The complete list of Land Use Code changes and additions may be found in Attachments 1 and 2, and includes a
new division in Article 4, Division 4.11 Manufactured Housing District (M-H), updated definitions in Article 5 of the
Land Use Code, as well as numerous changes to reference the new zone district throughout Articles 1-4. A
summary of the new standards for the M-H zone district include:
1. Permitted Uses
The permitted uses in the new zone district are proposed to be more limited than other residential mixed-use
districts in the community, with an emphasis on manufactured housing communities as the primary land use and
supported by other land uses that are complementary to residential development residential development,
including parks, recreational facilities, childcare centers, and places of worship. The complete list of proposed
land uses permitted in the new zone district include:
Land Use Review Process
Shelters for victims of domestic violence Basic Development Review
Accessory buildings Basic Development Review
Accessory uses Basic Development Review

2. Land Use & Dimensional Standards
The proposed M-H zone district includes several land use and dimensional standards that set a base level for
safety, development intensity, and general compatibility. As the new zone district is anticipated primarily for
existing manufactured housing development, the proposed standards also seek to minimize nonconformities by
generally match existing patterns of development found in the manufactured housing communities across the City
and Growth Management Area. While the City may have the ability to enforce these new zone district standards,
it is the intent the zone district regulations would apply primarily if any changes or redevelopment are proposed.
The proposed standards include:
A minimum density of 6 dwelling units per gross acre;
A maximum density of 12 dwelling units per gross acre;
A minimum 15-ft required front setback for buildings in a manufactured housing community;
A minimum 10-ft required side and rear setback for buildings in a manufactured housing community;
A minimum 10-ft separation distance between manufactured homes and other buildings;
A maximum building height of 3-stories;
A maximum building footprint size of 5,000 square feet for nonresidential uses;
A minimum of one off-street parking space for each manufactured housing unit in a manufactured
housing community.
3. Definitions
Two existing Land Use Code definitions for ‘mobile home’ and ‘mobile home park’ are proposed to be updated
and substituted with two new terms, ‘manufactured home’ and ‘manufactured housing community’ to better align
Land Use Code terminology with state and federal definitions for this type of housing, to define a minimum unit
size for manufactured housing communities, and to specify certain types of allowable accessory uses that are
common to manufactured housing communities. The proposed definitions include:
Manufactured home shall mean a preconstructed, transportable dwelling unit built on a permanent
chassis and anchored at the site where it will be occupied as a dwelling unit. The term manufactured
home shall also include mobile homes, which are similar transportable dwelling units constructed prior to
federal manufactured home standards adopted in 1976.
Manufactured housing community shall mean a parcel of land which has been planned, improved, or is
currently used for the placement of five or more manufactured homes. Manufactured housing
communities may also contain accessory uses intended primarily for the use and benefit of their
residents, including but not limited to clubhouses, playgrounds and recreational amenities, childcare,
meeting and assembly spaces, and personal and business services.
4. Miscellaneous Changes
In creating a new zone district, it is also necessary to make numerous additions throughout the Land Use Code to
reference the new zone district or define its inclusion in certain geographic or performance-based standards.
Examples include the addition of the new zone district as requiring City Council approval for the addition of a
permitted use process and classifying the new zone district in relation to sign code standards and regulations.

5. Additional Permitted Use Options
The proposed code changes described above represent staff’s recommendation for the types and intensity of
development for a zone district designed to preserve and support manufactured housing communities. In
comparison to many other residential zone districts in the Land Use Code, the permitted uses available in the new
M-H district are more limited and restrictive.
The reduction in the type and number of permitted uses is an important structural element for a zone district
intending to reduce redevelopment potential and support the ongoing operation of manufactured housing
communities. At the same time, some stakeholders have expressed concerns that the amount and types of
permitted uses in the new zone district are too restrictive. During the development of the new M-H zone district,
staff also considered including the following additional permitted uses:
Single-family detached dwellings, as Planning and Zoning Board Review
Two-family dwellings, as Planning and Zoning Board Review
Multi-family dwellings up to three (3) units per building, as Planning and Zoning Board Review
These particular uses were also permitted under the City’s prior mobile home park zoning and represent a similar
intensity and scale of development to what is commonly found in manufactured housing communities. When
combined with the M-H district’s proposed minimum density requirements, these uses may also be more likely to
result in housing options and sizes that are more attainable, and which are likewise underrepresented within the
community’s overall housing stock. While adding additional permitted uses may weaken the preservation elements
of the new zone district, their inclusion would better address stakeholder concerns and provide additional options
for property owners.
Staff has prepared an additional option to the proposed Land Use Code changes (Option B, see Attachment 2),
which would add these three additional lands uses to the permitted use list of the M-H zone district that may likewise
be considered as the Board considers their recommendation to City Council.
3. Public Outreach
Community outreach on the proposed zone district and Land Use Code changes has included small group
meetings and one-on-one conversations with manufactured housing owners, managers, and residents. In
addition, presentations and meetings have also been held with:
Affordable Housing Board (February 2020 and July 2020)
City Council (December 2019 & April 2020 work sessions)
Mi Voz (April 2020 virtual meeting)
Chamber of Commerce Local Legislative Affairs Committee (May 2020 virtual meeting)
City staff’s notes and summaries from these meetings can be found in Attachment 2. Major themes and
comments from outreach completed on the new zone district include:
General support from residents of manufactured housing communities; the new zone district may
provide greater certainty a community will not unexpectedly close due to redevelopment.
Concerns the zone district is overtly strict and does not allow enough opportunities for future changes
or redevelopment. This strictness may impact the conversion or upgrades to other types of affordable
and attainable housing, infrastructure enhancements, and it creates too large an impact on the
property rights of owners.

RE: April 28, 2020 Work Session Summary – Manufactured Housing Zoning &
Residents’ Rights Update
At the April 28th City Council Virtual Work Session, Ryan Mounce and JC Ward provided an
update on work underway to develop a new manufactured housing zone district and information
about recently completed and forthcoming residents’ rights and livability strategies, including the
potential for a manufactured housing licensing system. All councilmembers were present for the
discussion via video conferencing.
The new manufactured housing zone district and additional resident rights and livability strategies
are intended to advance Council priorities to preserve manufactured housing, prevent resident
displacement, and improve livability and protections available to residents in manufactured
housing communities.
General discussion and direction from the work session included:
Manufactured Housing Zone District & Rezoning Criteria
Continuing to develop and bring forward Land Use Code changes to implement a new
manufactured housing zone district as a preservation strategy.
General support for ‘Option A’ for the types of permitted uses that should be included in
the new zone district. Discussion reaffirmed the focus of the zone district to specifically
preserve manufactured housing and minimize resident displacement, which could remain
a partial outcome under ‘Option B.’
Some types of permitted land uses, such as extra occupancy rental houses and primary
short term rentals, may not be appropriate in the zone district or create new business
models that result in resident displacement.
Review and refine the types of criteria staff may use to recommend sites for inclusion in
the new zone district. Criteria such as infrastructure condition could be punishing to
residents in certain communities who would otherwise not benefit from the goals of the
new zone district.

April 28, 2020 Council Work Session Summary Page 2
Manufactured Housing Zoning & Residents’ Rights Update
Several questions or requests for additional information were raised on how the zone
district could impact the potential for resident owned communities, as well as how new
technologies (3D printing or new modular home systems) could supplement the zone
district to improve energy efficiency, building conditions, and levels of overall affordability.
Residents’ Rights Strategies & Licensing
General support for research into mobile home community licensing system with additional
information and detailed options for Council’s consideration to define the specific livability
issues to address, responsible parties, and penalties.
Exploration of mobile home community licensing programs will include analysis of
analogous programs in Colorado communities as well as successful regional models.
Initial research into mobile home community licensing in Colorado indicated programs akin
to business licensing with minimum enforcement authorization rather than a
livability/habitability focus supported by compliance staff.
Licensing and other strategies should seek to minimize the pass-thru of costs and fees to
residents. Licensing and inspection fee rates should be informed by current costs to
residents or park management for addressing livability issues.
The forthcoming mobile home community licensing Council Memo will describe the
process Staff will propose to vet licensing program options that will include input from
external stakeholders, mobile home community residents, and community partners.
Mobile home neighborhood liaisons and community partners are establishing
communication and engagement networks to support discussions of resident owned
community models.
Mobile Home Livability and Community-Building Mini-Grant round two funding is currently
on hold at the recommendation of PDT Finance as the City assesses 2020 budget and
anticipated shortfalls.
Next Steps & Follow-up
Staff will resume and continue stakeholder outreach on both the manufactured housing
zone district and livability strategies following a pause due to the initial response to COVID-
19.
The new zone district will continue to move towards implementation. Staff anticipates
presenting Land Use Code changes for Council’s consideration in early summer following
the resumption of Board and Commission meetings and remote quasi-judicial hearings.
Additional residents’ rights and livability strategies and municipal code changes are
scheduled for Council consideration in Q3 2020. Draft proposed language was included
in Council’s work session documents.
Staff will prepare a memo for Council regarding options and research for a licensing
program and additional resident owned community strategies.

Meeting Notes & Comment Summary
Mi Voz Virtual Meeting – April 17, 2020
New Manufactured Housing Zone District & General Zoning Standards
General support for the new zone district if it will help keep and maintain existing
parks/communities.
No marijuana businesses should be permitted in the zone district.
Marijuana businesses are too concentrated nearby and the City should look at limits to how many
marijuana businesses can be located near each other, or other important locations (near churches,
schools, etc.).
The new zone district should be a benefit for residents rather than only the owners.
Be sure the zone district does not restrict or limit residents who want to sell their homes, especially
if owners are not legal residents.
Questions/concern the new zone district could encourage additional economic development.
Goal should be to keep and improve livability for residents.
City regulations/enforcement within Manufactured Housing Communities
A need to strike a balance between enforcement and new regulations.
Some new rules the City creates or enforces may impact residents by increasing costs.
Should work alongside the new efforts that the state is adopting and implementing.
The City and state do not always know when new rules or injustices are put in place at mobile home
parks.
Concerns about frequent rule changes in parks and a lack of privacy.
Residents expressed the need for leases to be more transparent to city staff.
Other/Miscellaneous
Concerns about the location of the proposed homeless services and resource campus nearby. They
are proposed both adjacent to existing mobile home park neighborhoods and in close proximity to
marijuana businesses.
Desire to have a library that is more accessible to North Fort Collins.

Meeting Notes & Comment Summary
Chamber Local Legislative Affairs Committee - May 29, 2020
Manufactured Housing Zone District
One of the reasons manufactured housing communities can be so affordable is they were not
developed to today’s single-family subdivision standards.
The zone district puts too many restrictions on the owners; City should also be offering its own
incentives or carrots.
o Property owner should be offered or alternatives if they will not be allowed to redevelop
their properties.
o How could the City partner to keep the parks economically viable in the long-term?
Zone district density maximum should be higher.
City should also be incentivizing higher densities for other types of affordable housing/zone districts.
There should be opportunities for residents and park owners to be able to convert their
homes/units to permanent foundations.
Need to be thinking about not only the rights of the property owner but also of the homeowners.
City should be working and partnering with Larimer County for those communities in the GMA.
Residents’ Rights Strategies
Could the City offer/create first right of refusal for purchase (promote resident ownership or
incentive for new zone district)
o Watching legislation at state level for opportunity to purchase provisions
Caution and need to balance enforcement and requirements so costs are not just passed onto
residents.
Need for more stakeholders to be involved with any licensing discussion and research. Realtors
should be involved and used as a resource.
Urge caution on the licensing front and pay attention to key outcomes and messages from the last
time the City explored licensing options several years back.

Hi Kacee,
Thanks for passing the request along. If you or Rebecca have any further communications with
Boardmember Katz before the hearing, you can pass along the following:
- Staff invited property owners to attend the hearing last week through email and letters. I have not
received any specific confirmations yet that any will be in attendance. Staff has been in
communication with most owners about the code changes for several months and previously shared
draft code language.
- Communication with some property owners has been inconsistent. All of them are out of town
owners, and many are located out of state and work through intermediaries or ask those associated
with their communities, such as managers/operators, not to contact them directly.
- Staff can go into more detail on property owner communications regarding the code changes at
the hearing, however, most discussions have taken place over the phone given the timing of this
work and COVID.
Thanks,
