DISCUSSION OF THE LANDMARK PRESERVATION COMMISSION'S 2016 WORK PLAN Each year the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) prepares for Council a Work Plan for the coming year. For 2016, Council has asked that the Work Plans be more closely aligned with its Strategic Plan and Outcome Areas. In addition to the LPC's 2015 Work Plan, the 2015-2016 Strategic Plan is attached, as is the recent LPC response prepared for Council's Boards and Commission Periodic Review. To create its 2016 Work Plan, Commission members should identify ongoing and new goals and objectives that support those of Council. Based upon the 2015 Work Plan, staff has entered preliminary information into the draft work plan, using the Strategic Plan as the format. The areas of highest alignment were identified in the Periodic Review as Community & Neighborhood Livability, and Economic Heath Outcome Areas. Additionally, the LPC may find it has good alignment with Environmental Health. • OTHER BUSINESS 7.

Polk, Property Owner 321 N. Whitcomb Street Fort Collins, CO 80521 Mr. Ernest moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission approve the Consent Agenda for the regular meeting of November 18, 2015, including Item 2, the October 26, 2015 regular meeting minutes, and Item 3, the 321 N. Whitcomb Street Final Design Review. Mr. Lingle seconded. Motion passed 8=0. • PULLED FROM CONSENT 1. CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE OCTOBER 14, 2015 REGULAR MEETING. The purpose of this item is to approve the minutes from the October 14, 2015 regular meeting of the Landmark Preservation Commission. Commission Questions and Discussion Mr. Lingle requested a correction to Page 6 of the minutes for the Uncommon item to clarify that the block being referenced in the second line of the second paragraph under "Commission Questions and Discussion" was actually the "Safeway Block". Mr. Ernest moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission approve the minutes of the October 14, 2015 regular meeting as corrected. Ms. Gensmer seconded. Motion passed 8=0. [Timestamp: 5:39 p.m.] • DISCUSSION AGENDA 4. 419 WHEDBEE STREET— FINAL DEMOLITION/ALTERATION REVIEW PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a Final Demolition/Alteration Review of a proposed addition to 419 Whedbee Street, a single-family home in the Laurel School Historic District constructed in 1901. The proposed addition will include a new second -floor addition (617 square feet) APPLICANT: Melanie and Rich Davis 419 Whedbee Street Fort Collins, CO 8052 Staff Report Ms. Bzdek presented the staff report. (Note that a copy of the slides used in the presentation, which were not included in the packet, has been submitted into the record.) Applicant Presentation Rich and Melanie Davis introduced themselves and made themselves available for questions, but did not give a presentation. Public Inout Chris McCullough, 320 Smith Street, spoke to the Commission in support of the project, saying that it was a well thought out plan and fits nicely with the rest of the architecture in the neighborhood. City of Fort Collins Page 2 November 18, 2015 Packet Pg. 6 1.a Michael Chalona, 408 Whedbee Street, spoke in support of the addition, saying it was a good design and he hoped the Commission would approve it. Gene Meyer, 504 Smith Street, spoke in support of the addition, saying he was impressed with the process the Davises have gone through, and that the materials and design are consistent with the era in which the house was built. Mr. Davis spoke again saying that with only one bathroom in the home for a family of four, this addition was badly needed. Commission Questions and Discussion Mr. Lingle clarified that the purpose of tonight's process was to evaluate certain technical aspects that have to be met for the final hearing, not to comment on whether or not they support the design as proposed. He stated that he believed the Applicants had met those requirements, and he would be supporting the motion. Mr. Ernest said it was his opinion that the Applicant had met the requirements of Section 14-72, and that he supported the application. Commission Deliberation Mr. Ernest moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission approve the application for the addition to 419 Whedbee Street based on the Applicant's full compliance with Section 14=72 of the Fort Collins Municipal Code. Mr. Lingle seconded. Motion passed 8=0. [Timestamp: 5:51 p.m.] 5. FEEDERS SUPPLY / GINGER AND BAKER, 359 LINDEN STREET —FINAL HEARING ON RECOMMENDATION TO DECISION MAKER FOR A MINOR AMENDMENT TO APPROVED PLANS PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a Final Review and request for Recommendation to Decision Maker for a Minor Amendment to Approved Plans regarding a proposed rehabilitation and new addition to the Feeders Supply building at 359 Linden Street. The Planning and Zoning Board approved a Project Development Plan (#PDP130012) on August 8, 2013 for a previous owner of the property. The new owners are now proposing some alterations to the approved plans. The Commission held a preliminary hearing on these plans on October 26, 2015. APPLICANT: Frank Vaught and Chris Aronson, VFLA Mr. Lingle stated that he would abstain from discussion of this item, having missed the previous discussions and presentations on this item. He also recused himself from the next item, College Eight Thirty, due to a conflict, and excused himself from the remainder of the meeting. Staff Report Ms. Bzdek presented the staff report. (Note that a copy of the slides used in the presentation, which were not included in the packet, has been submitted into the record.) Applicant Presentation Mr. Aronson gave the Applicant presentation. (Note that the presentation had been modified since the agenda was published, and the revised version has been added to the record.) Mr. Aronson said that the site plan overall had not changed since the last meeting. He reviewed the changes that had been made and described the materials to be used. He noted that they had hired Mark Wernimont of Colorado Sash and Door to evaluate and document all the doors and windows. He explained the work to be done on the doors and windows. Of the thirteen existing windows, six will be fully restored. He talked about the plan for rebuilding the front door and storefront windows. Of the six existing doors, two sets will be fully restored, two will be rebuilt with parts from very damaged door sets, one will become an interior door, and the one along the alley will be filled in. He also talked about the louvers which will be replaced with windows. For the windows that are to be replaced, they will keep the same mullion pattern. City of Fort Collins Page 3 November 18, 2015 Packet Pg. 7 1.a Public Inout None Commission Questions and Discussion A Member inquired about the previous plans to add two windows in the southwest upper wall. The Applicant confirmed that there would be no new openings on the existing building other than the access on the back side to the north patio, which is necessary to meet egress requirements. Another Member was glad that the storefront was going to be restored rather than replaced, as it is a major element of historic integrity. When asked about re -roofing, the Applicant explained that the roof is a galvanized metal S-deck over rafters and is in bad shape. They will put in new rafters, and insulation, and use matching silver galvanized S-deck. A Member thanked the Applicant for addressing the Commission's concerns in the updated design. Chair Sladek asked Mr. Wernimont to talk a little about the condition of the doors and windows. Mr. Wernimont described what he found in his assessment, and detailed the plans for replacement, replication and restoration. They briefly discussed the uniqueness of the old pairs of doors. A Member asked whether there was any equipment in the head house. Mr. Aronson said there were some pulleys, and other parts, which the owners may try to use as d6cor or furniture in the interior of the building. There was a discussion about the possibility of leaving the pulley equipment where it is, if it can be visible from inside. There was question about the structure of the motion, and the inclusion of findings of fact, which Ms. Schmidt (Senior Assistant City Attorney) was able to clarify for the Commission. Commission Deliberation Mr. Ernest moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission recommend to the decision maker the minor amendment for the approved plans for the Feeder Supply / Ginger and Baker project at 359 Linden Street, based on adoption of the findings of fact as set forth in the staff report. Ms. Gensmer seconded. Motion passed 7-0, with Lingle abstaining. [Timestamp: 6124 p.m.] 6. COLLEGE EIGHT THIRTY -FINAL REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a Final Review and Request for Recommendation to Decision Maker of a proposed 31,007 square foot, 4-story building. The project is adjacent to several historic buildings that are designated on the National Register of Historic Places and as Fort Collins Landmarks, including the Scott Apartment Building, at 900 South College, and properties in the Laurel School National Register District. This Project Development Plan (PDP) is subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Board. The Commission held a preliminary hearing on these plans on September 28, 2015. APPLICANT: Craig Russell, Russell + Mills Studios 141 S. College Avenue, Ste. 104 Fort Collins, CO 80524 Staff Report Chair Sladek asked for clarification as to whether the material being reviewed this evening was the final plan for the property. Clay Frickey, Associate City Planner, explained that the project was in its second round of review and still has to be reviewed by City Staff, so it may not be the final plan. Chair Sladek noted that the Commission will have to determine if they have enough information to do a final review. Ms. Dorn presented the staff report. (Note that a copy of the slides used in the presentation, which were not included in the packet, has been submitted into the record.) City of Fort Collins November 18, 2015 Packet Pg. 8 1.a licant Presentation Ian Shuff, an Architect with alm2s, gave a presentation on behalf of the Applicant, highlighting the changes to the project since the Commission had last seen it. He also clarified that as far as the Applicants were concerned, the plans are final, and they are seeking a final recommendation to the hearing officer, as this will be a Type I hearing. Public Input None Commission Questions and Discussion A Member commented that the new proposed elevations were much better than the original design, from a historic perspective. He noted that the flat roofs feel more like dormers, which respects the neighborhood and historic context. The improvements on the fenestration nicely acknowledge the context. He also mentioned the similarity of this project to another one at 808 Prospect. Another Member stated that the design was a good combination of new with respect for the old, and he appreciated the refinements that had been made. In answer to a Commission question, Mr. Frickey stated that he didn't see any issues City Planning Staff may have with the design that would result in substantial changes. A Member asked why the building was set so far back. The Applicant explained that their original design was much closer. However, the standard setback along College Avenue is 15 feet, largely due to CDOT right-of-way restrictions, so Engineering compromised with the Applicant at 10 feet. Members were in agreement that they were ready for final review, with the caveat that any substantial changes to the design would come back to the Commission. The Applicant said they were comfortable with that condition. Ms. Schmidt assisted with the wording of the motion, noting that the findings of fact in the staff report could be referenced as part of the motion. Mr. Ernest pointed out that the flat roofs and the soldier coursing were specifically mentioned in the staff report as areas that could be improved, and wondered how that should be addressed when referencing the findings of fact in the staff report. Ms. Schmidt said that would not be a problem as long as those items were mentioned in the minutes. The Commission Members did not express any concerns with either the flat roofs or the soldier coursing based on the current design. Commission Deliberation Mr. Ernest moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission adopt the findings and analysis set forth in the staff report for the College Eight Thirty PDP #150019 finding that the project substantially complies with Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code and recommend approval of the project to the decision maker in the form presented on the condition that if substantial changes are made to the building exterior, such revisions be returned for further review by the Landmark Preservation Commission. Mr. Hogestad seconded. Motion passed 7-0 (with Lingle recused). [Timestamp: 6:54 p.m.] 7. DOWNTOWN PLAN DISCUSSION Cameron Gloss, Planning Manager, provided an update on the Downtown Plan. (Note: This presentation was not included in the agenda packet, but has now been submitted into the record.) Mr. Gloss talked about the Downtown Plan boundaries, pointing out the areas that have been added or subtracted from the 1989 Downtown Plan. He talked about the process and timeline for developing this plan. He discussed the public outreach activities staff has conducted to gather input for the project. He talked about the urban design vision for Downtown, including an overview of each of the "character districts" that make up the Downtown area. City of Fort Collins Page 5 November 18, 2015 Packet Pg. 9 1.a The overview of the Civic District sparked a discussion about parking and transportation. Mr. Gloss touched on the idea of paid parking, possibly with stratification of cost and/or durations based on location, which might allow quicker, easier access to retail shops in the area. He also noted that parking structures will be part of the future strategy. A Member expressed concern that introducing higher density and mass into the Campus North District can threaten the area's charm, and that taller buildings could obscure the one- and two-story buildings along this section of College. Questions were raised about how to define and adhere to the values of the community as we transition into a denser and more affluent City. The discussion about the Entryway Corridor included concerns about the poor pedestrian environment along Riverside, as well as the lack of visual appeal. Mr. Gloss asked the Commission about naming the Historic District so as not to be confused with the smaller National Register Historic District. Members discussed expanding the Historic District to include the whole area the Downtown Plan refers to as the Historic District, or at least making it a local district. There was a comment that people need to understand that creating a larger Historic District doesn't just create more restrictions; it also provides opportunities for incentives. There was a suggestion to call it the Historic Commercial District. Wayfinding and signage were discussed, as well as the need for designated bicycle parking. During the discussion about the Lincoln Corridor, a Member pointed out that the Coy barn and silos were missing from the model of the Woodward site. Mr. Gloss shared some ideas about possibly making Canyon Avenue a "festival street" that could be used for food truck rallies, farmers' markets, etc. Members brought up the setbacks, greenery and tree canopy in this district, noting the importance of retaining that character. Mr. Gloss also talked about gateways and transitions to Downtown. The intersection at Cherry and Mason was mentioned as a concern in the North Mason District. Mr. Gloss talked a little about form -based code, explaining how it is different from traditional code in being more objective and prescriptive, and using more illustrations. Chair Sladek said he appreciated the Commission being included in these discussions, and offered that the Commission would be happy to be involved in this project. [rimestamp: 7:59 p.m.] • OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Ernest thanked Ms. Schmidt for her assistance with this evening's motions. • ADJOURNMENT Chair Sladek adjourned the meeting at 8:00 p.m. Minutes respectfully submitted by Gretchen Schiager. City of Fort Collins Page 6 November 18, 2015 Packet Pg. 10 Agenda Item 2 PROJECT NAME 404 WHEDBEE STREET — FORT COLLINS LANDMARK DESIGNATION OF THE MICHAUD PROPERTY STAFF Kaitlin Dorn, Historic Preservation Planner PROJECT INFORMATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Staff is pleased to present for your consideration the Michaud Property located at 404 Whedbee Street. The property meets the standards for significance as a Fort Collins Landmark under Standard C (Design/Construction). APPLICANT: Mark and Denise McFann 517 E. Magnolia Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 OWNER: Mark and Denise McFann 517 E. Magnolia Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 RECOMMENDATION: Staff finds that the Michaud Property qualifies for Landmark designation under Fort Collins Landmark Designation Standard C for Design/Construction. If the Landmark Preservation Commission determines that the property is eligible under this standard, then the Commission may adopt a resolution recommending City Council pass an ordinance designating the Michaud Property at 404 Whedbee Street as a Fort Collins Landmark, as presented, finding that the property would meet the criteria of Chapter 14-5(2) of the Municipal Code. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND: The property owners, Mark and Denise McFann, are seeking Fort Collins Landmark designation of the Michaud Property, located at 404 Whedbee Street, under Fort Collins Landmark Standard C (Design/Construction). Chapter 14-22 of the Municipal Code requires this Hearing before the Landmark Preservation Commission to make a recommendation to City Council of a Fort Collins Landmark designation. This item was presented to the Landmark Preservation Commission on May 13, 2015. A motion was adopted unanimously (6-0) by the Landmark Preservation Commission to recommend that City Council adopt an ordinance designating the Michaud Property at 404 Whedbee as a Fort Collins Landmark according to City Code Section 14- 5, under Designation Standard C (Design/Construction). This item was pulled from the City Council agenda because the owner of two adjacent properties requested a replat. The replat would change the legal description, thus the designation. The replat consists of two properties located 517 East Magnolia and 404 Whedbee. The backyard of 517 East Magnolia has minimal space and this replat will give the rear half of 404 Whedbee to 517 East Magnolia. The decision maker approved the request for Item # 2 Page 1 Packet Pg. 11 Agenda Item 2 replat. See attached McFann Subdivision Plat. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY: The Michaud Property at 404 Whedbee Street, a contributing element of the Laurel School Historic District, is significant under Fort Collins Landmark Designation Standard C, as a well preserved example of an early 20th century one-story Queen Anne Cottage. The building retains preponderance of all seven aspects of integrity. The hipped roof, full width porch, simple floor plan, and gabled front dormer are all characteristics of the one-story Queen Anne Cottage style. Furthermore, this style reflects the early 20th century ideals of conservatism and simplicity. The extravagance and ornamentation of the Gilded Age were interpreted as a lack of social concern so styles with less ostentatious decorations like the one-story Queen Anne Cottage became popular. This backlash stemmed from economic hardships in the 1890s. The one-story Queen Anne Cottage was extremely popular in Fort Collins during the early twentieth century. The location, design, setting, and materials largely remained the same throughout the years. The details in the gable end show elaborate workmanship. Together, the lack of prominent changes helps this home retain a historic feeling. Also, the home continues to be associated with the Laurel School Historic District. STAFF ANALYSIS: Staff reaffirms that the Michaud Property qualifies for Landmark designation under Fort Collins Landmark Designation Standard C. If the Landmark Preservation Commission determines that the property is still eligible under this standard, as it determined on May 13, 2015, then the Commission may adopt a resolution recommending City Council adopt an ordinance designating the Michaud Property at 404 Whedbee Street as a Fort Collins Landmark, as presented, finding that the property would meet the criteria of Chapter 14-5(2) of the Municipal Code. SAMPLE MOTION: The Landmark Preservation Commission finds that the Michaud Property qualifies for Landmark designation under Fort Collins Landmark Designation Standard C and recommend City Council adopt an ordinance designating the Michaud Property at 404 Whedbee Street as a Fort Collins Landmark, as presented, finding that the property would meet the criteria of Chapter 14-5(2) of the Municipal Code. SIGNIFICANCE OF ADOPTION ON CONSENT AGENDA: If the Landmark Preservation Commission approves this historic designation as part of the December 9, 2015, consent agenda, such adoption shall signify: (1) That the Landmark Preservation Commission is adopting a resolution pursuant to Fort Collins Municipal Code Section 14-22(a), recommending to the Fort Collins City Council that the Michaud Property located at 404 Whedbee Street be designated as a Fort Collins Landmark; and (2) Such adopted resolution incorporates the findings made by City staff in the Staff Report.

SIGNIFICANCE Properties are eligible for designation if they possess significance, which is the importance of a site, structure, object or district to the history, architecture, archeology, engineering or culture of our community, State or Nation. For designation as Fort Collins Landmarks or Fort Collins Landmark Districts properties must meet one (1) or more of the following standards: ❑ Standard A: Events. This property is associated with events that have made a recognizable contribution to the broad patterns of the history of the community, State or Nation. It is associated with either (or both) of these two (2) types of events: 1. ❑ A specific event marking an important moment in Fort Collins prehistory or history; and/or 2. ❑ A pattern of events or a historic trend that made a recognizable contribution to the development of the community, State or Nation. ❑ Standard B: Persons/Groups. This property is associated with the lives of persons or groups of persons recognizable in the history of the community, State or Nation whose specific contributions to that history can be identified and documented. ❑ Standard C: Design/Construction. This property embodies the identifiable characteristics of a type, period or method of construction; represents the work of a craftsman or architect whose work is distinguishable from others by its characteristic style and quality; possesses high artistic values or design concepts; or is part of a recognizable and distinguishable group of properties. ❑ Standard D: Information potential. This property has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. Revised 08-2014 Packet Pg. 15 2.b EXTERIOR INTEGRITY Properties are eligible for designation if they possess exterior integrity, which is the ability of a site, structure, object or district to be able to convey its significance. The exterior integrity of a resource is based on the degree to which it retains all or some of seven (7) aspects or qualities: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. All seven qualities do not need to be present for a site, structure, object or district to be eligible as long as the overall sense of past time and place is evident. M Standard A: Location. This property is located where it was originally constructed or where an historic event occurred. M Standard B: Design. This property retains a combination of elements that create its historic form, plan space, structure, and style. M Standard C: Setting. This property retains a character and relationship with its surroundings that reflect how and where it was originally situated in relation to its surrounding features and open space. M Standard D: Materials. This property retains much of the historic physical elements that originally formed the property. M Standard E: Workmanship. This property possesses evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. This consists of evidence of artisans' labor and skill in constructing or altering the building, structure or site. M Standard F: Feeling. This property expresses the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period or time. This results from the presence of physical features that, taken together, convey the property's historic character. M Standard G: Association. This property retains an association, or serves as a direct link to, an important historic event or person. It retains association if it is the place where the event or activity occurred and is sufficiently intact to convey that relationship to an observer. Like feeling, association requires the presence of physical features that convey a property's historic character. Revised 08-2014 Packet Pg. 16 2.b STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE and EXTERIOR INTEGRITY (Please describe why the property is significant, relative to the Standard(s) above, and how it possesses exterior integrity.) The Michaud Property at 404 Whedbee Street, a contributing element of the Laurel School Historic District, is significant under Fort Collins Landmark Designation Standard C, as a well preserved example of an early 20th century one-story Queen Anne Cottage. The building retains preponderance of all seven aspects of integrity, A through G. The hipped roof, full width porch, simple floorplan, and gabled front dormer are all characteristics of the one-story Queen Anne Cottage style. Furthermore, this style reflects the early 20th century ideals of conservativism and simplicity. The extravagance and ornamentation of the Gilded Age were interpreted as a lack of social concern so styles with less ostentatious decorations like the one-story Queen Anne Cottage became popular. This backlash stemmed from economic hardships in the 1890s. The one-story Queen Anne Cottage was extremely popular in Fort Collins during the early twentieth century. The location, design, setting, and materials largely remained the same throughout the years. The details in the gable end show elaborate workmanship. Together, the lack of prominent changes helps this home retain a historic feeling. Also, the home continues to be associated with the Laurel School Historic District.

Joe and Lizzie Michaud were the first occupants of the residence, built sometime between March 1906 and September 1909.E Joe, son of one of Larimer County's early pioneer settlers, was born on August 4, 1869 in Brighton, Colorado. Patriarch Frank Michaud traded his Brighton farm to Joe Mason for 160 acres along current day North Shields Street in 1871. The Hoffman Milling Company's flour mill employed Joe Michaud as a miller. The Michauds lived at 404 Whedbee until at least 1910. By 1913-14, laborer Frank Frey and his wife Nora moved into the home. In the 1920s, at least two different families occupied the home: T. Jefferson Van Sickle and his wife Sybil (1922), followed by Harry and Katherine Eaton (1927). The Fort Collins Rubber Company employed Harry Eaton as a vulcanizer. The Eatons were not the owners of the home though; the owner, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Williams was issued a permit for "repairs" at an estimated cost of $175 on October 8, 1927.2 By 1931, Marshall O'Brien, an "oil pumper," and his wife Grace lived in the home. On May 9, 1939, E. Meyer, owner of the home, was issued a permit for reroofing.3 At that time, William Parmiter and his wife Anna resided there .4 In 1940, a practical nurse, Ida Arnbrecht, moved into the home. Sometime in the 1940s, longtime residents Alex and Katherine Robertus moved into the home.5 These German -Russian immigrants came to Fort Collins in 1912 and were married in December of 1913. After settling in the Fort Collins area, Alex farmed and later worked for the City of Fort Collins (possibly as a grounds keeper for Grandview Cemetery). The Robertus owned the home in 1944, evident by the permit issued to Alex on February 2, 1944 for repairs to the porch .6 On May 24, 1945, Alex was issued a permit to re -shingle the garage. Alex retired by 1959 and passed away in the home in March of 1963. Katherine remained in the home until her own death, two years later in July of 1965. After 1965, residents included Robert L. and JoAnn Rogers (1968), retiree Henry Saken and his wife Mary (1970s), and Colorado State University student David Lanaghen (1985). In 2003 while Laurel Buchanan owned the property, the front porch was rehabilitated. The exterior integrity remains intact .8 Current owners Denise and Timothy McFann bought the property in 2014. It continues to be a single family dwelling. ' The first time that the home appears in the city directory is in 1908, but there are no records for the building of this home. } City of Fort Collins Building Permit No. 1837, October 8, 1927, "Repairs," accessed at history.fcgov.com. y s City of Fort Collins Building Permit No. 5752, May 9, 1939, "Reroofing," accessed at history.fcgov.com. t 4 Polk's Fort Collins City Directory, 1939 (Omaha, Nebraska: R.

Revised 08-2014 Packet Pg. 18 ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION Construction Date: 1908 Architect/Builder: Unknown Building Materials: Wood, stone Architectural Style: Classic Cottage Description: (Please include any special features of the property/surroundings, as well as dates and descriptions of any additions or alterations to the buildings or structures.) This historic home is well preserved and located on the east side of 400 block of Whedbee Street. The home is set up on a slight hill with concrete steps leading from the sidewalk to the front porch. The building is a single story, wood frame, rectangular plan, hipped cottage with a small, offset, gabled dormer and a wide, projecting, enclosed front porch. The hip roof covering the rectangular, main massed plan is relatively low-pitched with overhanging, boxed eaves. The home possesses many of the characteristics of a one-story Queen Anne Cottage, such as the hipped roof, front dormer, and porch, but as with many vernacular homes, features elements of multiple styles. The one-story Queen Anne Cottage was one of the more popular vernacular styles during the construction of the home.9 The front gabled dormer is placed on the left (north) side of the fagade and embellished with ornate, delicate scroll -sawn and beaded bargeboard trim reminiscent of Gothic Revival ornamentation. Inside the gable is a small, infilled, single light attic window, surrounded by imbricated fish -scale shingles. The enclosed porch spans the majority of the fagade. The porch entry features a glazed 8-light over 1 panel wooden door (original), flanked by grouped 3-over-1 sash windows. Pairs of 3-over-1 sash windows fenestrate the narrow sides of the front porch. The side elevations are fenestrated with single and tandem sets of narrow double -hung 1-over-1 light windows framed by flat wooden surrounds with stepped molding lintels and sills. Attached to east elevation is a nearly full -width enclosed and glazed rear porch covered by a half -hipped roof. On the south side of the rear is a four panel door and in the middle of the east elevation is a twelve light door. Between the two doors is a pair of 2-over-2 light windows. On the north side of the rear porch is a pair of modern, glass and vinyl sliding doors. The home contains a solitary concrete -coated brick interior chimney that rises from the ridge line of the hip roof, offset towards the rear of the structure. 9 The Fort Collins History Connection website states, "The Classic Cottage was one of the most commonly erected styles in Fort Collins during the early twentieth century and was common in middle and working class neighborhoods throughout the city."

The proposed addition will include a new second floor addition (168 square feet), a new first floor addition (266 square feet), and the demolition of an outbuilding. APPLICANT: Kurt Reschenburg and Tia Molander 903 Stover Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 OWNER: Kurt Reschenburg and Tia Molander 903 Stover Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Landmark Preservation Commission approve the rear addition to the Charles A. Lory House located at 903 Stover Street as presented, finding that such work would meet the criteria established in Chapter 14-48(b) of the Municipal Code. Staff recommends denial of the request to demolish the outbuilding (shed), finding that the effect of the proposed work would destroy a distinctive historic feature of the site, as described in Chapter 14-48(b) of the Municipal Code. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND: The property owners, Kurt Reschenburg and Tia Molander, are seeking a final design review of a proposed rear addition to the residence and demolition of an outbuilding on their property. This property was designated as a Fort Collins Landmark by Ordinance No. 039, 1996, under Criterion B for its association with Charles A. Lory, fifth president of Colorado Agricultural College (CSU). The property was also designated under Criterion C as an excellent example of Craftsman -influenced bungalow style; outbuildings date from the period of significance, contribute to the historic character of the property, and are included in the designation ordinance. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY: The home at 903 Stover Street is associated with Charles A. Lory, fifth president of Colorado Agricultural College, now CSU. Born in 1872 to a farming family in Sardis, OH, the family moved to Colorado and homesteaded near present-day Windsor. Lory was educated at Colorado universities. In 1905, he joined the Department of Physics and Applied Electricity at Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (later CSU) - an institution that he would remain affiliated with for three and a half decades. Lory lived in this house from 1905 to 1914, and then again, following his tenure as president of the college, from 1956 to 1959. Item # 3 Page 1 Packet Pg. 34 Agenda Item 3 Built in 1905, the Charles A Lory House was constructed by Charles Lory's father, Chris Lory, a farmer and carpenter. The Lory House is a one and a half story wooden bungalow, sided in 6-inch wide horizontal clapboard with wood shingles on the upper half story. The side gabled roof features a centrally -located shed roofed dormer flanked with front -facing gables. An enclosed front porch, with front gabled roof, covers the central bay of the home. The porch has narrow, vertical wood half walls with one over one and one over two window patterns. It is possible that this porch was at one time open. A second enclosed porch, similarly constructed, is located on the rear of the house. Glazing patterns on the body of the house are predominately multi -pane over single pane. There are two outbuildings located on the alley on the south end of the property. The original garage was built in the same style as the house, with the same clapboard siding and a gabled roof. In March of 1935, the garage was extended by about a foot, probably to accommodate a longer car. The work was done for $50 by G.M. Fathergill. The second outbuilding was added to the property in 1938. It too matches the style of the house, exhibiting the same siding and roof line. More detailed architectural and historical information can be found in the attached Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Architectural Inventory Form. PROPOSED ALTERATION: The second floor addition will not add additional square feet to the foot print, but will increase the square footage under the rear portion of the gable roof by 168 square feet. The second floor will have a shed roof and the peak will match the height of the historic portion of the building. This will allow an 8'-0" ceiling height on the second floor. The west (rear) elevation of the second floor addition includes (from left to right) a trio of 4-pane windows, one 4-pane window, one 4-pane window, and a trio of 4-pane windows. The owners would like to build a rear addition onto a rear four -season sunroom (modified 2011). The four -season sunroom will be removed and 266 square feet will be added to the building footprint. At its widest, the two-story addition will cover approximately two-thirds of the west elevation. The first floor will have a rear facing gable roof. The west (rear) elevation of the first floor addition includes a trio of 12-pane openings, a door on the left with two windows of the same dimensions to the right. Above, there are two symmetrical 8-pane rectangular windows. The south (left) elevation of the first floor addition includes one 12-pane door and two four -pane windows. The property owners would like to demolish the frame shed (1938) at the rear of the property; they will retain the garage (1935). This design was drawn by architect Dick Anderson, using the City's Design Assistance Program. REVIEW CRITERIA: Proposed changes to Fort Collins Landmarks are reviewed by the Landmark Preservation Commission under Section 14-48 of the Municipal Code, "Report of acceptability": (1) The effect of the proposed work upon the general historical and/or architectural character of the landmark or landmark district; (2) The architectural style, arrangement, texture and materials of existing and proposed improvements, and their relation to the sites, structures and objects in the district; (3) The effects of the proposed work in creating, changing or destroying the exterior characteristics of the site, structure or object upon which such work is to be done; (4) The effect of the proposed work upon the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of the landmark or landmark district; and (5) The extent to which the proposed work meets the standards of the city and the United States Secretary of the Interior then in effect for the preservation, reconstruction, restoration or rehabilitation of historic resources. The proposed work would fall under the Secretary of the Interior's Standard's for Rehabilitation: 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or Item # 3 Page 2 Packet Pg. 35 Agenda Item 3 alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. STAFF ANALYSIS: Staff recommends that the Landmark Preservation Commission approve the rear addition to the Charles A. Lory House located at 903 Stover Street as presented, finding that such work would meet the criteria established in Chapter 14-48(b) of the Municipal Code. Staff recommends denial of the request to demolish the outbuilding (shed), finding that the effect of the proposed work would destroy a distinctive historic feature of the site, as described in Chapter 14-48(b) of the Municipal Code. SAMPLE MOTION: The Landmark Preservation Commission approves the plans and specifications for the rear addition to the Charles A. Lory House located at 903 Stover Street as presented, finding that such work would meet the criteria established in Chapter 14-48(b) of the Municipal Code. The Landmark Preservation Commission denies the request to demolish the 1938 outbuilding (shed), finding that the effect of the proposed work would destroy a distinctive historic feature of the site, as described in Chapter 14-48(b) of the Municipal Code.

Lory House and Outbuildings, 903 Stover Street, Fort Collins, Colorado STAFF CONTACT: Karen McWilliams, Preservation Planner APPLICANT: Joanne Fish and Wade Satterfield, Property Owners BACKGROUND: Staff is pleased to present for your consideration, the local landmark designation of the historic Charles A. Lory House, 903 Stover Street, Fort Collins, Colorado. It is significant for its historical and architectural importance. Historical Importance - The home at 903 Stover Street is associated with Charles A. Lory, fifth president of Colorado Agricultural College, now CSU. Charles Alfred Lory was born in 1872 to a farming family in Sardis Ohio. The family moved to Colorado in May 1888, and homesteaded near present-day Windsor. In 1895 Lory became a student at the State Normal School in Greeley. Receiving his B.D. degree in education in 1898, Lory decided to continue his own education, and enrolled at the University of Colorado. There he took B.S and M.S. degrees in engineering. Upon graduating, he became a high school principal in Cripple Creek for two years, before returning to the University of Colorado to teach. In 1905. he joined the Department of Physics and Applied Electricity at Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts (later CSU) - an institution with which he would remain affiliated for three and a half decades. Upon his move to Fort Collins, Lory's father, Chris, a carpenter and farmer, constructed the Charles Lory House at 903 Stover Street, with help from Charles. Charles Lory lived in this house from 1905 until 1914, and then again from 1956 until 1959. In 1914, Lory and his family moved to the recently remodeled farm manager's house, on the college campus. (When Braiden Hall was built on the campus, this house was moved to an unknown location.) For a period of time after retiring as president of the university in 1940, and again between 1959 and his death in 1969, Lory lived in Estes Park. As a teacher at the college, Lory created many new programs. His endeavors caught the eye of the governing board, and in 1909, at the age of thirty-six, Charles Lory became the fifth president of Colorado Agricultural College and began a career which would see the institution grow from a student body of 380 to over 2,000. As a land grant college, Lory felt the school had three main goals to fulfill: teaching, research and extension. Lory was instrumental in improving both the academic reputation of the institution and its relationship with Colorado's agricultural community. This was manifested by his support of the Agricultural Experiment Station and the w w z 0 Cn w 0 J Q Z U. i w w Cn W w 0 Cn M O a) 0 T M 281 North College Avenue • P.O.

In addition, Lory was extremely active in the formation of the Colorado -Big Thompson Diversion Project and of Horsetooth Reservoir. His interest in irrigation and related topics stemmed from his childhood of working on an irrigated and his college job of being a ditch rider. Following his resignation as president of the university in 1940, Lory served on the National Resources Planning Board and actively participated in numerous state and local committees, including the state Merit System Council and as a member of the Governor's Irrigation Centennial Committee. He was a forceful presence in these and other organizations, and not until the age of ninety did he withdraw from all forms of public service. Charles Lory passed away on December 30, 1969 at the age of ninety-seven. Architectural Importance - The Charles A. Lory House is a one and a half story wooden bungalow with a gabled roof. Built in 1905 on what was then the most eastern edge of Fort Collins, the house was constructed by Charles Lory's father, Chris Lory, a farmer and carpenter. The Lory House displays many characteristics of the bungalow style. The wood frame house is sided in 6-inch wide horizontal clapboard with wood shingles in the upper half story. The low pitched roof features a centrally -located shed roofed dormer with two front -facing gables at either end. An enclosed front porch, with gabled roof, covers the central bay of the home. The porch has narrow, vertical wood half walls with one over one and one over two window patterns. It is possible that this porch was at one time open. A second enclosed porch, similarly constructed, is located on the rear of the house. Glazing patterns on the body of the house are predominantly multi -pane over a single pane. Little has been done to alter the original house. The original foundation was estimated to be only six inches deep. but a basement with a cement floor was added in the 1930s. Records show that in 1938, Charles Lon- obtained a building permit to construct a garage and remodel the house for $550.00. The exterior is essentially unaltered, except for the addition of aluminum storm windows over the existing original windows. The interior retains most of the original woodwork and bungalow -style built-in cabinets. In December 1990, frozen pipes caused extensive damage to the bathroom and dining room. The bathroom was remodeled and the wood work in the dining room replaced. There are two outbuildings located on the alley on the south end of the property. The original garage was built in the same style as the house, with the same clapboard siding and a gabled roof. In March of 1935, the garage was extended by about a foot, probably to accommodate a longer car. The work was done for $50 by G.M. Fathergill. The second outbuilding was added to the property in 1938. It too matches the style of the house, exhibiting the same siding and roof line. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving the request for Local Landmark designation of the Charles A. Lory House, 903 Stover Street, Fort Collins, Colorado.

The house was built mostly by his father, Chris Lory who was a carpenter and farmer, but Charles Lory did help in the construction. Another house was built by Charles Lory for his mother-in-law and sister-in-law at 620 Locust Street. Jenny Richards, Lory's sister-in-law, had previously run a boarding house for college students at 624 Howes Street before moving to the Locust Street house. 2 Lory was the fifth president of Colorado State University, serving 31 years. This is the longest tenure in the school's first 100 yews.3 Originally he was from Ohio but moved to Colorado to farm with his family. He received his education degree from the State College of Education in Greeley, Colorado. After serving as the high school principal in Cripple Creek, Colorado, Lory went on to obtain several other degrees from University of Colorado at Boulder. In 1905, Lory joined taught physics at Boulder then a year later joined the faculty of the State Agricultural College, now CSU. As a teacher he created many new programs, but it was during his tenure as president, starting in 1909, that he made his most significant contributions.4 As a land grant college, Lory felt the school had three main goals to fulfill: teaching, research and extension. During the early twentieth century many people were moving to Colorado with the. belief that agriculture would flourish there so the goals of the school became even more important to fulfill. Lory was constantly promoting the school so that the newcomers would be aware of its presence. Lory was also instrumental in creating a cooperative effort amongst all of the Colorado state supported colleges.5 He also served as the president in 1919 for the Association of Land Grant Institutions.6 Outside of college related activities, Lory was also extremely active in the formation of Horsetooth Reservoir and the Colorado -Big Thompson Diversion Project.' This interest in irrigation and related topics stemmed from his childhood of working on an irrigated farm and his college job of being a ditch rider. After Lory moved several members of the CSU faculty lived in the house. The board wanted the president to live on campus so the farm manager's house was remodeled for the Lory family. When Braiden Hall was built the farmhouse was moved to an unknown ' Hansen, James E., IJ, Democracy's College in the Centennial State: A History of Colorado State University.

The bungalow style was popular from 19004930. This house was built in 1905 on what was then the most eastern edge of Fort Collins. The house is located on the comer lot of Stover and Locust. The lot is 50 x 140. The house is surrounded by shrubs and large trees but has a large yard to the north. The house is of the same general scale as the surrounding neighborhood but it is evident especially with the houses to the east that it is significantly older. Because the bungalow was economical and easy to build, they became the choice for many worldng class families. The bungalow style stressed comfort, simplicity and utility. The house was to be integrated into its surrounding through a simple unpretentious design. Through low pitched roofs with wide eave overhangs, the homes blend into the landscaping. There are exposed structural components both for support and for decoration. Common window patterns consist of multiple panes in the upper sash and a single pane in the lower sash. The Lory House displays many of the main bungalow features. The roof is low pitched with exposed rafters. On the facade of the house is a dormer with two gables at either end facing outward. In each gable are multi -paned widows and in the dormer are three smaller windows. On the first story of the facade are four multi over single paned windows. Two are within the enclosed poach on either side of the front entrance. On the side elevations are eight windows each. Six on the first story and two on the half story. On the rear elevation another dormer with two small windows and six windows on the first story. Three of the small windows are in a bay on the south end of the rear elevation and two are within the enclosed porch. The house has a wooden frame and is sided in horizontal clapboard approximately six inches wide. The upper half story is sided with shingled wood. On the facade of the house is an enclosed porch. It is located in the center and covers just over the middle third. There is another enclosed porch on the rear elevation with a south facing door. The two enclosed porches have half walls with windows on top. The supports are exposed. It appears that the front porch may have been an open porch originally and enclosed at some point. The original foundation was estimated to be only six inches deep, but a basement with a cement floor was added in the 1930's, an estimation made by the consultant hired by the present owners. Charles Lory did obtain a building permit in 1938 to build a garage and remodel the house for $550.00. This suggests that the basement was part of the w w Z 0 Cn w 0 J Q Z i w w Cn w O co V) TOM 0 o� M Packet Pg. 54 3.f i •""t f•1- • 1 • `J 1: I• 1 • 1p1 1 • 11 I IY. 11a1 1�f 1 1• �J ! 1 1 • 1 f 11 1 11i(S)III 1{ • too 414 sl$14:14 I OV44H r. 14 0.1" - • I - I ;I !) 177 1 • 111 : I { ff I 1 6-1 1 1• • 1 • • 1- • 1 :{ :1 • � - -• �{ � 1 ! 1- 1 • 11 1 11- 1111 •- •f 1• " At this time 1 bathroom was 11 • { ef and the woodwork e+• . ef 1 the 1990s the fim box was removed from 1 back porch and replaced with a circuit breakerI - •. ! 1 There are two outbuildings sited on the alley on the south end of the property.

Fathergill, acting as an agent for the owners, obtained a building permit to enlarge the garage at a cost of $50.00. According to the present owner, the garage appears to have been extended about a foot probably to accommodate a longer car. The second outbuilding was added to the property in 1938. It too matches the style of the other buildings, exhibiting the same siding and roof line. 9 Satterfield, 10 Ibid. Wade, interview by Samantha Pierson, October 14, 1995. W_ W W z 0 Cn W 0 J Q z U.

The house was built mostly by his father, Chris Lory who was a carpenter and farmer, but Charles Lory did help in the construction. Another house was built by Charles Lory for his mother-in-law and sister-in-law at 620 Locust Street, Jenny Richards, Lory's sister-in-law, had previously run a boarding house for college students at 624 Howes Street before moving to the Locust Street house. 2 Lory was the fifth president of Colorado State University, serving 31 years. This is the longest tenure in the school's first 100 years.3 Originally he was from Ohio but moved to Colorado to farm with his family. He received his education degree from the State College of Education in Greeley, Colorado. After serving as the high school principal in Cripple Creek, Colorado, Lory went on to obtain several other degrees from University of Colorado at Boulder. In 1905, Lory joined taught physics at Boulder then a year later joined the faculty of the State Agricultural College, now CSU. As a teacher he created many new programs, but it was during his tenure as president, starting in 1909, that he made his most significant contributions.4 As a land grant college, Lory felt the school had three main goals to fulfill: teaching, research and extension. During the early twentieth century many people were moving to Colorado with the. belief that agriculture would flourish there so the goals of the school became even more important to fulfill. Lory was constantly promoting the school so that the newcomers would be aware of its presence. Lory was also instrumental in creating a cooperative effort amongst all of the Colorado state supported colleges.-' He also served as the president in 1919 for the Association of Land Grant Institutions.6 Outside of college related activities, Lory was also extremely active in the formation of Horsetooth Reservoir and the Colorado -Big Thompson Diversion Project.' This interest in irrigation and related topics stemmed from his childhood of working on an irrigated farm and his college job of being a ditch rider. After Lory moved several members of the CSU faculty lived in the house. The board wanted the president to five on campus so the farm manager's house was remodeled for the Lory family. When Braiden Hall was built the farmhouse was moved to an unknown ' Hansen, James E., II, Democracy's College in the Centennial State: _A History of Colorado State University.

The bungalow style was popular from 19004930. This house was built in 1905 on what was then the most eastern edge of Fort Collins. The house is located on the corner lot of Stover and Locust. The lot is 50 x 140. The house is surrounded by shrubs and large trees but has a large yard to the north. The house is of the same general scale as the surrounding neighborhood but it is evident especially with the houses to the east that it is significantly older. Because the bungalow was economical and easy to build, they became the choice for many worldng class families. The bungalow style stressed comfort, simplicity and utility. The house was to be integrated into its surrounding through a simple unpretentious design. Through low pitched roofs with wide eave overhangs, the homes blend into the landscaping. There are exposed structural components both for support and for decoration. Common window patterns consist of multiple panes in the upper sash and a single pane in the lower sash. The Lory House displays many of the main bungalow features. The roof is low pitched with exposed rafters. On the facade of the house is a dormer with two gables at either end facing outward. In each gable are multi -paned widows and in the dormer are three smaller windows. On the first story of the facade are four multi over single paned windows. Two are within the enclosed poach on either side of the front entrance. On the side elevations are eight windows each. Six on the first story and two on the half story. On the rear elevation another dormer with two small windows and six windows on the first story. Three of the small windows are in a bay on the south end of the rear elevation and two are within the enclosed porch. The house has a wooden frame and is sided in horizontal clapboard approximately six inches wide. The upper half story is sided with shingled wood. On the facade of the house is an enclosed porch. It is located in the center and covers just over the middle third. There is another enclosed porch on the rear elevation with a south facing door. The two enclosed porches have half walls with windows on top. The supports are exposed. It appears that the front porch may Have been an open porch originally and enclosed at some point. The original foundation was estimated to be only six inches deep, but a basement with a cement floor was added in the 1930's, an estimation made by the consultant hired by the present owners. Charles Lory did obtain a building permit in 1938 to build a garage and remodel the house for $550.00.

The original garage, located closest to the house, was built in the same style as the house. The same clapboard was used along with a gabled roof. On March 12, 1935 G.M. Fathergill, acting as an agent for the owners, obtained a building permit to enlarge the garage at a cost of $50.00. According to the present owner, the garage appears to have been extended about a foot probably to accommodate a longer car. The second outbuilding was added to the property in 1938. It too matches the style of the other buildings, exhibiting the same siding and roof line. 9 Satterfield, 10 Ibid. Wade, interview by Samantha Pierson, October 14, 1995.

Approximately 3,800 square feet of the new facility is expected to be occupied by Cline William Wright Johnson & Oldfather, LLP Attorneys at Law. The site is zoned Neighborhood Conservation, Buffer District (NCB). The property is located adjacent to the Laurel School National Register District and to individually designated Landmark properties, so the proposed project is subject to compliance with the standards in Land Use Code Section 3.4.7, Historic and Cultural Resources. APPLICANT: Greg Fisher, 3115 Clyde Street, Fort Collins, CO OWNER: Scout Leasing LLC, 330 S. College Avenue, Suite 300, Fort Collins, CO 80524 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Landmark Preservation Commission make a recommendation of approval to the Decision Maker for the proposed development at 215 Mathews Street, based on the presented plans' compliance with Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) provided initial feedback to the applicant through a preliminary design review at the May 13, 2015 meeting. At tonight's meeting, the applicant is presenting an amended project design in order to get a formal recommendation of approval or denial from the commission to the decision maker. Land Use Code (LUC) Section 3.4.7(6) provides the authority for this final hearing with the LPC. The code requires that the decision maker, in its consideration of the approval of plans for properties containing or adjacent to historic sites, structure, objects or districts shall receive and consider a written recommendation from the Landmark Preservation Commission unless the Director has issued a written determination that the plans would not have a significant impact on the individual eligibility or potential individual eligibility of the site, structure, object or district. Area of Adjacency For the purposes of staff's review of the project, and based upon the height, mass, scale, bulk, and the visibility of the proposed project in light of the definition of "adjacent" in LUC Section 5.1.2, property adjacent to this project has been established as being located one-half block in each direction from the block upon which this building is Item # 4 Page 1 Packet Pg. 80 Agenda Item 4 proposed. In its consideration of this project for a recommendation to the decision maker, the Landmark Preservation Commission may concur with, reject or modify this area of adjacency. The proposed project is immediately adjacent to the Laurel School National Register Historic District. In addition to the historic district, the Landmark Preservation Commission may consider compatibility with individually designated properties in the area of adjacency, according to 3.4.7(B). These include: 200 Mathews (Carnegie Library, designated August 30, 1985) 148 Remington (Poudre Garage Property, designated February 18, 1997) 202 Remington (The McHugh -Andrews Property, designated August 16, 1983) 220 Remington (The Bode Property, designated October 7, 2014) Section 3.4.7(B) also requires protection and enhancement of individually eligible properties in the area of adjacency. Several adjacent properties have been determined individually eligible in the past, have not been designated, and do not have current determinations of eligibility for local landmark status. The record of the most recent determinations is as follows: 221 Mathews (Park View Apartments) -Official determination in 2008: Individually eligible for landmark designation 210 E. Oak Street (Zoric Cleaners) -Official determination in 2008: Individually eligible for landmark designation 215 E. Oak Street (McHugh Carriage House/Hospital) -Official determination in 2008: Individually eligible for landmark designation 218 Remington Street -Official determination in 2008: Individually eligible for landmark designation 230 Remington Street -Official determination in 2008: Individually eligible for landmark designation Two properties in the area of adjacency received a split decision when evaluated in 2008. 216 E. Oak Street 217 E. Oak Street Properties evaluated within the area of adjacency that have been determined NOT individually eligible include the following: 207 Mathews (Library Park Apartments) -Official determination in 2008: not eligible for landmark designation 215 Mathews -Official determination in 2008: not eligible for landmark designation 220 E. Oak Street -Official determination in 2008: not eligible for landmark designation 206 Remington Street -Official determination in 2008: not eligible for landmark designation 208 Remington Street -Official determination in 2008: not eligible for landmark designation 226 Remington Street -Official determination in 2008: not eligible for landmark designation Compliance with Applicable Land Use Code Standards Land Use Code (LUC) Section 3.4.7, Historic and Cultural Resources, contains standards for new buildings where designated or eligible historic landmarks or historic districts are part of the development site or surrounding neighborhood context. The proposed project is adjacent to historic properties; therefore, the project will need to comply with LUC Section 3.4.7. LUC Section 3.4.7(A), Purpose, states in pertinent part: "This Section is intended to ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible:... new construction is designed to respect the historic character of the site and any historic properties in the surrounding neighborhood. This Section is intended to protect designated or individually eligible historic sites, structures or objects as well as sites, structures or objects in designated historic districts, whether on or adjacent to the development site." LUC 3.4.7(B) General Standard states in pertinent part: "The development plan and building design shall protect and enhance the historical and architectural value of any historic property that is: (a) preserved and adaptively used on the development site; or (b) is located on property adjacent to the development site and qualifies under (1), (2) or (3) above" (i.e. properties that are individually Item # 4 Page 2 Packet Pg. 81 Agenda Item 4 eligible, designated, or located within a historic district). "New structures must be compatible with the historic character of any such historic property, whether on the development site or adjacent thereto." LUC 3.4.7(F) New Construction states: "(1) To the maximum extent feasible, the height, setback and width of new structures shall be similar to: (a) those of existing historic structures on any block face on which the new structure is located and on any portion of a block face across a local or collector street from the block face on which the new structure is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this requirement shall not apply if, in the judgment of the decision maker, such historic structures would not be negatively impacted with respect to their historic exterior integrity and significance by reason of the new structure being constructed at a dissimilar height, setback and width. Where building setbacks cannot be maintained, elements such as walls, columns, hedges or other screens shall be used to define the edge of the site and maintain alignment. Taller structures or portions of structures shall be located interior to the site. Staff believes that the height, setback and width of the new structure are similar to the existing historic structures along Mathews Street, i.e., the Park View Apartments and the Carnegie Library. In particular, the adjusted setback of 9 feet is compatible with the existing historic structures in the area of adjacency. The height of the building has been lowered to 36138 feet with an eave height of 30 feet, which is also a significant improvement over the previous design. (2) New structures shall be designed to be in character with such existing historic structures. Horizontal elements, such as cornices, windows, moldings and sign bands, shall be aligned with those of such existing historic structures to strengthen the visual ties among buildings. Window patterns of such existing structures (size, height, number) shall be repeated in new construction, and the pattern of the primary building entrance facing the street shall be maintained to the maximum extent feasible." The design of the entrance has been improved to provide more harmonious visual ties with the apartment building to the south. While window patterns on the north half of the facade are not consistent with historic patterns, this portion of the elevation is not adjacent to historic buildings. Staff believes the proposed project design now meets this standard. (3) The dominant building material of such existing historic structures adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed structure shall be used as the primary material for new construction. Variety in materials can be appropriate, but shall maintain the existing distribution of materials in the same block." Staff notes the applicant's extensive use of brick on the building's facade, appropriate window patterns on the south half of the facade, and horizontal alignment of brick patterns with those found in the adjacent historic apartment building to the south. The applicant has responded to staffs request for the addition of a second material on the facade, to mitigate the previous design's resemblance to a historic school building. Staff also noted that directly across the alley from this project are several eligible and designated properties along Remington Street. These include the one-story Bode Property, a designated Fort Collins Landmark, which is located directly across the alley from this project, as well as the individually eligible property next to the Bode Property at 218 Remington. To achieve compatibility with these historic properties, the rear of the building has been enhanced with additional use of brick. Staff believes the proposed project design now meets this standard. "(4) Visual and pedestrian connections between the site and neighborhood focal points, such as a park, school or church, shall be preserved and enhanced, to the maximum extent feasible." The focal point for this project would be the Carnegie Library Building and Library Park, as well as Old Town. The proposed design maintains these visual and pedestrian connections and thus staff believes the project meets this standard. "(5) To the maximum extent feasible, existing historic and mature landscaping shall be preserved, and when additional street tree plantings are proposed, the alignment and spacing of new trees shall match that of the existing trees. Staff believes the proposed project design meets this standard. Item # 4 Page 3 Packet Pg. 82 Agenda Item 4 Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Landmark Preservation Commission make a recommendation of approval to the Decision Maker for the proposed development at 215 Mathews Street, as presented, based on compliance with Section 3.4.7 of the Land Use Code.

Fisher, Architect, PLLC 3115 Clyde Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 RE: 215 Mathews Office Building, PDP150020, Round Number 1 Please see the following summary of comments from City staff and outside reviewing agencies for your submittal of the above referenced project. If you have questions about any comments, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Ted Shepard, at 970-221-6343ortshepard@fcgov.com. Department: Historical Preservation Contact: Karen McWilliams, 970-224-6078, Topic: General Comment Number: 5 kmcwilliams(@1cgov.com Comment Originated 11/12/2015: As per the process outlined in Section 14-72(b) of the Municipal Code, the demolition of the building located at 215 Mathews was determined to not be detrimental to adjacent properties or the National and State Register District. Therefore, other than the required Plan of Protection, there will be no further review of its demolition by the Historic Preservation Division. Response: Acknowledged. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated 11/12/2015: LUC 3.4.7(F)(1) states: To the maximum extent feasible, the height, setback and width of new structures shall be similar to: (a) those of existing historic structures on any block face on which the new structure is located and on any portion of a block face across a local or collector street from the block face on which the new structure is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this requirement shall not apply if, in the judgment of the decision maker, such historic structures would not be negatively impacted with respect to their historic exterior integrity and significance by reason of the new structure being constructed at a dissimilar height, setback and width. Where building setbacks cannot be maintained, elements such as walls, columns, hedges or other screens shall be used to define the edge of the site and maintain alignment. Taller structures or portions of structures shall be located interior to 11/12/2015 11/12/2015 J Q Z 0 Z_ J_ m W 0 um u_ 0 Cn W x FM a LO T N M M v 1 Packet Pg. 102 4.b the site. Staff believes that the height, setback and width of the new structure are similar to the existing historic structures along Mathews Street, i.e., the Park View Apartments and the Carnegie Library. Response: Acknowledged. Please note that the setback has been further increased at the front to accommodate a 9' utility easement requested by the Engineering Department. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 11/12/2015 11/12/2015: LUC 3.4.7(F)(2) states in part: New structures shall be designed to be in character with such existing historic structures. Staff appreciates the applicant's extensive use of brick on the building's facade. However, the brick, combined with the design, appear very reminiscent of a historic school building. This could be mitigated by the addition of another material. Staff notes that directly across the alley from this project are several eligible and designated properties, along Remington Street. These include the one-story Bode Property, a designated Fort Collins Landmark, which is located directly across the alley from this project, as well as the individually eligible property next to the Bode House, at 218 Remington. To achieve compatibility with these historic properties, the rear of the building should be articulated, possibly by a stepback, and enhanced with additional brick. Response: Revisions have been made to address these comments. Revisions include the reduction of brick and introduction of stucco on the front fagade, reallocation of the brick and stucco on the north and south sides and more extensive use of brick on the rear fagade. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 11/12/2015 11/12/2015: LUC 3.4.7(F)(2) states in part: Horizontal elements, such as cornices, windows, moldings and sign bands, shall be aligned with those of such existing historic structures to strengthen the visual ties among buildings. Window patterns of such existing structures (size, height, number) shall be repeated in new construction... The window patterns on the south half of the facade match the historic window patterns, although they do not directly line up. However, the window patterns on the north half of the facade do not match historic window patterns, as required by this standard. Response: It is understood that staff is recommending that the window patterns on the north half of the front fagade be realigned to match the pattern of the adjacent properties. However, we feel strongly that proposed pattern is reminiscent of other historic facades where the window pattern expresses the stairwce contained within. This adds visual interest and makes the windows functional from the interior. Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 11/12/2015 11/12/2015: LUC 3.4.7(F)(3) states, The dominant building material of such existing historic structures adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed structure shall be used as the primary material for new construction. Variety in materials can be appropriate, but shall maintain the existing distribution of materials in the same block. This standard has been met. Response: Acknowledged.

The focal point for this project would be the Carnegie Library Building and Library Park, as well as to Old Town. The visual and pedestrian connections to these have been maintained, and this standard has been met. Response: Acknowledged. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated 11/12/2015: LUC 3.4.7(F)(5) states, To the maximum extent feasible, existing historic and mature landscaping shall be preserved, and when additional street tree plantings are proposed, the alignment and spacing of new trees shall match that of the existing trees. The plans call for retaining the existing tree; also, increasing the setback will enable the front strip to be planted in grass, which is the historic landscape material in this location. With these, staff feels that this standard has been met. Response: Acknowledged. Contact: Maren Bzdek, , mbzdekAfcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated 10/28/2015: Staff recommends the following adjustments to application materials for the LPC hearing: 1) Remove graphic depictions of trees from the front elevations to provide a more clear portrayal of building details; 2) Provide more context for the rear elevation, i.e. wider view that shows more of the buildings to the north and south; 3) Add building dimension notations to the elevations. 11/12/2015 10/28/2015 Response: Trees have been removed from the PDP elevations and the west elevation has been broader to include more of the Park View Apartments fapade also in the PDP Elevations. Building height dimensions are shown on the east elevation and horizontal dimensions have been provided on the site plan. Topic: General Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated 10/28/2015: The property is located in the Laurel School National Register District, so the proposed project will be subject to compliance with the standards in LUC Section 3.4.7, Historic and Cultural Resources. 11/09/2015: The property is not located within the Laurel School National Register District, but is located adjacent to several designated and eligible properties. Response: Acknowledged.

A determination or recommendation made under this subsection is not appealable to the City Council under Chapter 2 of the City Code." Please contact Historic Preservation staff to schedule the LPC review. The next two available opportunities are 12/9/15 and 1/13/16. Response: Acknowledged. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated 10/28/2015: In addition to the Laurel School Historic District, the LPC may consider compatibility with individually designated properties in the area of adjacency, according to 3.4.7(B). These include 220 Remington (Bode House) and 200 Mathews (Carnegie Library). Several adjacent properties have been evaluated in the past but do not have current determinations of eligibility for local landmark status, including: 217 E. Oak, 218 Remington, 221 Mathews (Park View Apartments), 207 Mathews (Library Park Apartments). 11/09/2015: Area of Adjacency: For the purposes of staffs review of the project, and based upon the height, mass, scale, bulk, and the visibility of the proposed project in light of the definition of �adjacenQ in LUC Section 5.1.2, property adjacent to this project has been established as being located one-half block in each direction from the block upon which this building is proposed. Historic properties within this area of adjacency include the Carnegie Library/Museum/Community Creative Center, 200 Mathews Street; the Park View Apartments, 221 Mathews Street; the McHugh House/St. Peters Fly Shop, 202 Remington Street; historic residential buildings at 218 and 230 Remington Street; and the Bode Property, 220 Remington Street. In its consideration of this project for a recommendation to the decision maker, the Landmark Preservation Commission may concur with, reject or modify this area of adjacency.

Fort Collins 7 Final Review 215 Mathews Office Building Landmark Preservation Commission December 9, 2015 0 Fort Collins Agenda Item 5 PROJECT NAME 320 MAPLE MIXED USE PROJECT —CONCEPTUAL REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECT STAFF Karen McWilliams, Historic Preservation Planner PROJECT INFORMATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This proposed development at the northeast corner of Maple and Meldrum involves construction of a 4-story, 41,674 square -foot multi -family attached building with 29 residential units. The site is located within the (D) Downtown Zone District and currently contains three connected commercial buildings and one residential building that would be demolished to make way for the site redevelopment. APPLICANT: Craig Russell, Russell + Mills Studios, 131 S. College Avenue, Fort Collins OWNER: Maple Partners LLC, 1650 38th Street, Suite 100, Boulder, CO 80301 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This multi -family attached building with 29 residential units is a mixed use project containing both residential and commercial space as well as onsite parking. On the main level, the building includes four studio units, 4,975 square feet of commercial space, and 39 surface parking spaces covered by the residential units above. On the second level, there will be ten 2-bedroom units and four 1-bedroom units. On the third level, there will be seven 2- bedroom units, four 1-bedroom units, and a fitness room. A fourth level loft area is depicted in the elevations. Several individually eligible properties are adjacent to the project on Meldrum between Cherry Street and Maple Street, and a pending historic district (the Collamer/Malaby Historic District) the project's west elevation along Meldrum. (The draft designation application is attached.) The project therefore must comply with the standards contained in Land Use Code (LUC) Section 3.4.7, Historic and Cultural Resources. The conceptual review provides the opportunity for the Landmark Preservation Commission to offer preliminary comments on the project as currently proposed and the extent to which it complies with LUC Section 3.4.7. A separate demolition/alteration review process will consider the impact of the proposed work on the existing buildings and determine their eligibility status -the LPC is not providing that review at this meeting. The project team will return at a later date for a final hearing and recommendation to the decision maker, as required by Land Use Code 3.4.7(6). Area of Adjacency Staff offers the following information for consideration in order to determine an area of adjacency for the proposed project. 1) Four properties containing a total of eleven contributing buildings have been identified in a pending landmark nomination application that would establish the Collamer-Malaby Historic District. These include Item # 5 Page 1 Packet Pg. 123 Agenda Item 5 303 N. Meldrum, 305 N. Meldrum, 313 N. Meldrum, and 315 N. Meldrum. This district is immediately west of the proposed development. 2) Several other buildings along Meldrum were reviewed for individual eligibility for landmark designation in 2004 and 2012. Those determinations occurred prior to April 2014 and would need to be reviewed again, so their status is offered here for review only. The residences at 312 N. Meldrum (1910) and 322 N. Meldrum (1921) were determined to be individually eligible for landmark designation. The residences at 316, 317, 320, and 321 N. Meldrum were deemed not individually eligible. 3) The Dutch Colonial Revival residence at 329 N. Meldrum (1900) has not been reviewed for individual eligibility. Compliance with Applicable Land Use Code Standards Land Use Code (LUC) Section 3.4.7, Historic and Cultural Resources, contains standards for new buildings where designated or eligible historic landmarks or historic districts are part of the development site or surrounding neighborhood context. The proposed project is adjacent to historic properties; therefore, the project will need to comply with LUC Section 3.4.7. LUC Section 3.4.7(A), Purpose, states in pertinent part: "This Section is intended to ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible:... new construction is designed to respect the historic character of the site and any historic properties in the surrounding neighborhood. This Section is intended to protect designated or individually eligible historic sites, structures or objects as well as sites, structures or objects in designated historic districts, whether on or adjacent to the development site." LUC 3.4.7(B) General Standard states: "If the project contains a site, structure or object that (1) is determined to be or potentially be individually eligible for local landmark designation or for individual listing in the State Register of Historic Properties or National Register of Historic Places; (2) is officially designated as a local or state landmark or is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; or (3) is located within an officially designated national, state or City historic district or area, then, to the maximum extent feasible, the development plan and building design shall provide for the preservation and adaptive use of the historic structure. The development plan and building design shall protect and enhance the historical and architectural value of any historic property that is: (a) preserved and adaptively used on the development site; or (b) is located on property adjacent to the development site and qualifies under (1), (2) or (3) above. New structures must be compatible with the historic character of any such historic property, whether on the development site or adjacent thereto." LUC 3.4.7(E) Demolition states: A site, structure or object that is determined to be or potentially be individually eligible for local landmark designation or for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places or State Register of Historic Properties may be demolished only if, in the opinion of the decision maker, the applicant has, to the maximum extent feasible, attempted to preserve the site, structure or object in accordance with the standards of this Section, and the preservation of the site, structure or object is not feasible. It is unlikely that this section of the code will apply to the proposed project. The existing structures on the development site include a residential building at 310 N. Meldrum and a set of warehouse buildings at 32013221324 Maple Street. They were reviewed in 2012 and none were determined to be individually eligible for landmark designation. This determination is older than one year and thus expired, an updated review is required in association with this proposed project. LUC 3.4.7(F) New Construction states: "(1) To the maximum extent feasible, the height, setback and width of new structures shall be similar to: (a) those of existing historic structures on any block face on which the new structure is located and on any portion of a block face across a local or collector street from the block face on which the new structure is located.... Notwithstanding the foregoing, this requirement shall not apply if, in the judgment of the decision maker, such historic structures would not be negatively impacted with respect to their historic exterior integrity and significance by reason of the new structure being constructed at a dissimilar height, setback and width. Where building setbacks cannot be maintained, elements such as walls, columns, hedges or other screens shall be used to define the edge of the site and maintain alignment. Taller structures or portions of structures shall be located interior to Item # 5 Page 2 Packet Pg. 124 Agenda Item 5 the site." The existing historic buildings on N. Meldrum are one-story and two-story wood frame structures with lap siding. The new building is proposed to be one -and -a -half to three stories with a step down to the north as it approaches the adjacent residential property. The setback of the proposed building from the street along Meldrum and Maple is similar to those of existing historic structures. Applicant materials do not provide exact dimensions of the new building, so additional information and analysis of height and width should be required. "(2) New structures shall be designed to be in character with such existing historic structures. Horizontal elements, such as cornices, windows, moldings and sign bands, shall be aligned with those of such existing historic structures to strengthen the visual ties among buildings. Window patterns of such existing structures (size, height, number) shall be repeated in new construction, and the pattern of the primary building entrance facing the street shall be maintained to the maximum extent feasible." Staff has identified several areas in the design that attempt to create compatibility with the surrounding historic residential buildings according to Standards in LUC 3.4.7(F)(2). These include: false front gabled parapet on the west elevation; projecting bay window on the west elevation; overall window pattern variety in single, double, and triple configurations. "(3) The dominant building material of such existing historic structures adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed structure shall be used as the primary material for new construction. Variety in materials can be appropriate, but shall maintain the existing distribution of materials in the same block." The historic buildings along Meldum do not contain brick as a primary material, so the LPC may wish to consider this proposed design element that is used on the main level, particularly in the 1.5-story section of the building on the west elevation. The horizontal lap siding on the upper portion of the west fagade provides an important material connection to the surrounding neighborhood. "(4) Visual and pedestrian connections between the site and neighborhood focal points, such as a park, school or church, shall be preserved and enhanced, to the maximum extent feasible." Neighborhood focal points that should be considered include Washington Park and the pending potential Collamer- Malaby Historic District. "(5) To the maximum extent feasible, existing historic and mature landscaping shall be preserved, and when additional street tree plantings are proposed, the alignment and spacing of new trees shall match that of the existing trees. The mature trees in good condition on the parcel will be preserved. Seven existing trees along Meldrum and Maple are identified for preservation in the landscape plans.

If you have questions about any comments, you may contact the individual commenter or direct your questions through the Project Planner, Clark Mapes, at 970-221-6225 or cmapes@fcgov.com. Comment Summary: Department: Planning Services Contact: Cameron Gloss, _cgloss �fcgov.com Topic: Building Elevations Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated Variation in Building Massing The proposed horizontal building mass along both frontages exceeds the required height: width ratio of 1:3 without substantial variation in massing that includes a change in height and projecting or recessed elements. Response: The revised design meets this requirement. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated Building Size, Mass, Bulk and Scale The proposed design is not compatible with the mass, bulk and scale with the established character of the surrounding residential area to the north and west. Section 3.5.1 (C) requires that the building be articulated and subdivided into massing that is proportional to the mass and scale of other structures within the 08/12/2015 08/12/2015 abutting and opposing Meldrum face block and cater -corner across the intersection. Please see Figures 7a and 7b illustrating how infill and redevelopment buildings must transition to the scale of the surrounding area. Response: The revised design meets this requirement. Building scale has been reduced on both the north and west elevations with significant setbacks. ve�xeme.+n 2 Topic: Site Plan Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 08/12/2015 2nd Floor Courtyard It appears that that the width and orientation of the 2nd floor coutyard space will result in this area being cast in shadow during cooler months. Consideration should be given to shadow impacts to users' comfort. Response: The courtyard has been orientated to the south to address these comments. Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 08/12/2015 Building Setbacks Staff does not support the proposed 4' setback along Meldrum Street. The streetscape transition in this block is to a deeper setback more in keeping with building to street relationships to the west. A good example is found on the north end of this block at the Cherry Street lofts. which are setback 12 feet from the back of the Cherry Street sidewalk to the building face. Response: The revised design provides a 9'-4" setback along Meldrum and 4'-10" along Maple.

All public sidewalk, driveways and ramps existing or proposed adjacent or within the site need to meet ADA standards, if they currently do not, they will need to be reconstructed so that they do meet current ADA standards as a part of this project. 08/12/2015 08/12/2015 08/12/2015 Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated 08/12/2015 va�xe+ra. +se 'a] b 08/12/2015: Any public improvements must be designed and built in accordance with the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS). They are available online at: http://www.larimer.org/engineering/GMARdStds/UrbanSt.htm Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated: 08/12/2015 08/12/2015: This project is responsible for dedicating any right-of-way and easements that are necessary for this project. This shall including the standard utility easements that are to be provided behind the right-of-way (8 foot along an alley, and 9 foot along all other street classifications). Right-of-way or easement shall be provided at the comer of the street intersection and the alley (per standards). Noted. Please see informal variances requested under General Note 48 on Sheet CS2. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 08/12/2015 08112/2015: Both Maple Street and Meldrum Street are considered local streets. Improvements to the frontages of the property will be required. Any existing driveways shall be closed and sidewalk shall be constructed meeting standards. The alley adjacent to the site is not in the best shape and will need to be improved (you will want to take a look at the Brownes on Howes plans to see the profile and design that was approved for that project and will need to tie into that design). Lntrance into alley has ueen redesigned on west edge with vertical curb, curb aiong Maple to be redone as well as all sidewalks being redone. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 08/12/2015 08/12/2015: A Development Construction Permit (DCP) will need to be obtained prior to starting any work on the site.

Applications for encroachment permits shall be made to Engineering Department for review and approval prior to installation. Encroachment items shall not be shown on the site plan as they may not be approved, need to be modified or moved, or if the permit is revoked then the site/ landscape plan is in non-compliance. All encroachment permits are revocable and as such any objects that are approved within the right-of-way have to be items that can be removed from the project. Noted. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 08/12/2015 PacFe�Pg. 159 b `l 08/12/2015: Any rain gardens within the right-of-way cannot be used to treat the development/ site storm runoff. We can look at the use of rain gardens to treat street flows — the design standards for these are still in development. The planter areas that are shown on the section provided that will collect the roof flows and contain a weep hole that would drain out onto and across the sidewalk are going to be a problem. Roof drains are not allowed to drain across the sidewalk and the weep holes would drain across the sidewalk. ,air gardens have been removed from plan Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 08/12/2015 08/12/2015: Doors are not allowed to open out into the right-of-way. All doors open behind ROW. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated: 08/12/2015 08/12/2015: Bike parking required for the project cannot be placed within the right-of-way and if placed just behind the right-of-way need to be placed so that when bikes are parked they do not extend into the right-of-way. The 4 feet in which you show bike parking on site is not deep/wide enough to accommodate bikes without them sticking out onto the sidewalk. All bike parking outside of RO'A. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated 08/12/2015: In regards to construction of this site. The public right-of-way shall not be used for staging or storage of materials or equipment associated with the Development, nor shall it be used for parking by any contractors, subcontractors, or other personnel working for or hired by the Developer to construct the Development. The Developer will need to find a location(s) on private property to accommodate any necessary Staging and/or parking needs associated with the completion of the Development. Information on the location(s) of these areas will be required to be provided to the City as a part of the Development Construction Permit application. Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated 08/12/2015: Any prior variance requests granted with prior projects will not automatically apply to a new project. Staff, policies, and the project have changed and as such any variance request would need to be submitted, justified and reviewed to determine if it would be approved. Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated 08/12/2015: The public sidewalk will need to be constructed per standards and it is unlikely it will be allowed to be of colored concrete. Colored concrete has been shown outside of ROW Comment Number: 17 Comment Originated 08/12/2015: Adequate sight distance needs to be provided at the intersection of the parking and the alley. Columns, walls and objects need to be set back in order for pedestrians and vehicles exiting and entering the facility to be able to see traffic within the alley.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 08/11/2015 08/11 /2015: This property is located adjacent to the Emma Mallaby Store and associated historic buildings. The massing and character of the proposed project is not compatible with the historic structures. This can be remedied by careful attention to design. LUC 3.4.7(F)(1)(a) states that, to the maximum extent feasible, the height, setback and width of new structures shall be similar to those of existing historic structures on any block face on which the new structure is located and on any portion of a block face across a local or collector street from the block face on which the new structure is located ... ; LUC 3.4.7(F)(2) states that new structures shall be designed to be in character with such existing historic structures. Horizontal elements, such as cornices, windows, moldings and sign bands, shall be aligned with those of such existing historic structures to strengthen the visual ties among buildings. Window pattems of such existing structures (size, height, number) shall be repeated in new construction, and the pattern of the primary building entrance facing the street shall be maintained to the maximum extent feasible. LUC 3.4.7(F)(3) states that the dominant building material of such existing historic structures adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed structure shall be used as the primary material for new construction. Variety in materials can be appropriate, but shall maintain the existing distribution of materials in the same block. LUC Division 5.1, Definitions, provides the definition of Maximum Extent Feasible: Maximum extent feasible shall mean that NO feasible and prudent alternative exists, and all possible efforts to comply with the regulation or minimize potential harm or adverse impacts have been undertaken. Response: Comment Acknowledged.

A City Flood Risk Map is included with these comments. Response. Comment Acknowledged. Stormwater Staff indicated tnat a reiatively "easy" mapping correction would likely remove most of the building site from the high risk floodplain. This is the path the Applicant intends to pursue, with the hopes that mitigation measures will be greatly reduced. In all cases, the development proposal will comply with Chapter 10. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated 08/11/2015: Construction of a new mixed -use structure is allowed within the 100-year flood fringe, provided that the lowest floor of the structure as well as all duct work, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, electrical, hot water heaters, etc. are elevated a minimum of eighteen -inches above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for the property. That finished floor elevation is known as the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation (RFPE = BFE + 18" for mixed -use structures). Response Comment Acknowledged Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated 08/11/2015: After construction, a FEMA Elevation Certificate must be submitted to, and approved by, the City before a Certificate of Occupancy will be issued. Response- Comment Acknowledged (pending effective mapping) Comment Number: 5 Comment Originated 08111/2015: As an alternative to elevating the building 18-inches, the building may be floodproofed up to the RFPE. If floodproofing is chosen as an option all the requirements of Section 10-38 of City Code must be met. Floodproofing Guidelines as well as a FEMA Floodproofing Certificate (which will be required before construction begins, and again after construction is complete and prior to issuing a Certificate of Occupancy) can be obtained at http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/what-we-do/stormwater/flooding/forms-documents FEMA Technical Bulletin 3, "Non -Residential Floodproofing — Requirements and Certification" can be found at http://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/20130726-1511-20490-52941job6.pdf.

An exhibit showing the existing and proposed impervious areas with a table summarizing the areas is required prior to the time fees are calculated for each building permit. Response: Comment Acknowledged. Comment Number: 13 Comment Originated 08/11/2015: If there is an increase in imperviousness greater than 5,000 square feet a drainage and erosion control report and construction plans are required and they must be prepared by a Professional Engineer registered in Colorado.

If there is less than 5,000 but more than 350 square feet of new impervious area; a site grading and erosion control plan is required instead of a complete construction plan set. Response: Comment Acknowledged. Comment Number: 14 Comment Originated 08111/2015: When there is an increase in impervious area greater than 5000 square feet on an existing development, onsite detention is required with a 2 year historic release rate for water quantity. Parking lot detention for water quantity is allowed as long as it is not deeper than one foot. If there is less than 5000 but more than 350 square feet of new impervious area, a grading and erosion control plan is required instead of a complete construction plan set. Response: Comment Acknowledged. Comment Number: 15 Comment Originated 08/1112015: Alley drainage, particularly in the Old Town Basin, is problematic and must be accounted for with this development. In particular, any new stormwater drainage being added to the alley must be safely conveyed to Maple Street without impacting adjacent properties. This analysis will be required as part of the drainage design for the site and will need to be included in the drainage report. Response: Comment acknowledged. Comment Number: 16 Comment Originated 08/11/2015: Water quality treatment is also required as described in the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual. Extended detention is the usual method selected for water quality treatment, however the use of any of the BMPs is encouraged.

Revised 08-2014 Packet Pg. 180 5.e STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE and EXTERIOR INTEGRITY (Please describe why the property is significant, relative to the Standard(s) above, and how it possesses exterior integrity.) The Collamer-Malaby Historic District is significant under Fort Collins Landmark Designation Standard A, as an excellent example of the city's early commercial history, particularly the historic abundance of small neighborhood businesses that were typically co -located with the owners' residence; Standard B, for its association with the Collamer and Malaby families; and Standard C, for building design and construction, which well represents the district's period of significance from 1899 to 1943. The District retains a strong preponderance of exterior integrity under all six aspects of integrity, A through G. The Collamer-Malaby district satisfies Standard A because of its significant contribution to the history of neighborhood markets and related services. This district, with the Emma Malaby Grocery, Dermody Transfer, wood yard, outbuildings, and several homes, represents how some Fort Collins' small business owners developed their properties and mom-and-pop businesses organically to suit their familial needs and to service their immediate neighbors in residential areas. Under Standard B, The Collamer-Malaby District is associated with one of the early pioneer families of Fort Collins, the Collamers. Jacob Collamer was a member of the Mercer Colony, which ultimately failed, but helped found Fort Collins. In 1 65. Frank Collamer, son of Jacob, moved to Fort Collins and began buying lots on 300 M.!orum.. 1900, he obtained Lots 3 and 4 and by 1910, he completed the addition on 303 Melr4rurr as seer, today. In addition to buying the lots between 1899 and 19107 Frank also bought and , Nr,ved to the property the wooden false front building that would become the Emma Malaby Grocery . N 1906. In 1916, Frank Collamer built an addition to the grocery store to accommodate t i%. ^od yard. Under Standard C, the design and core... :tion cf the contributing structures are indicative of vernacular Fort Collins residential ar,nei(.hborhrod commercial buildings during the period of significance between 1899 and 1943. ) . :� residential properties, 303 and 315 North Meldrum, are both excellent examples of verviacuic. arc, '`.zcture from the late -nineteenth and early -twentieth centuries. Also from the samr. period c e the Malaby Grocery and Dermody Woodward and Transfer buildings, which are no. Nble �.s surviving commercial structures that embody the design features of early local enterprises. Tne Malaby Grocery, now located at 313 North Meldrum, is the District's most well-known building. It is one of the oldest commercial buildings in Fort Collins, constructed in the 1870s at 148 North College Avenue .2 The wood frame structure retained the false front, indicative of the typical Old West style. Several commercial buildings boasted the false front vernacular style in Fort Collins history, but this is one of the few to survive. Also important inside the district is the Dermody Woodyard and Transfer building. This business supplied coal and hay to neighboring communities in addition to delivering for downtown merchants .3 The location and setting of the site contain a rich history of Collamer development and neighborhood business although not all of the structures on the 300 block are original to the location. Minimal changes to the exterior of the structures protect and convey the historical value of the buildings. As a group of functionally related structures on the 300 block of North Meldrum, together they connect to the era of early Fort Collins development and more specifically to the pattern of commercial enterprises integrated into residential areas to serve local customers who 1 When Ellen T. Ittelson and Allyn S. Feinberg interviewed Ruth Collamer Dermody on December 1, 1983, she referred to the business as the Dermody Woodyard and Transfer. That is the name used throughout this nomination. This interview can be located in the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery Archives. Z This is now 146 North College Avenue where the Commercial Bank & Trust building stands. It is currently vacant. 3 Interview with Mrs. Ruth Collamer Dermody, December 1, 1983, interviewed by Ellen T. Ittelson and Allyn S. Feinberg, 1.

Inside the district boundary, there are 18 individual structures. Eleven structures date to the period of significance and contribute to the historical significance of the district: the exceptionally significant Emma Malaby Grocery Store, and Dermody Transfer barn and woodyard, as well as three historic dwellings and a locally rare privy. The non-contributing structures include five modern sheds and two historic buildings moved from Loveland. The exterior integrity of a few buildings has been compromised with the addition of protective siding, but their historical association with the property remains intact. This district represents how Fort Collins' residents developed their property organically to suit their familial needs and growth. Furthermore, this district encompasses one of Fort Collins's earliest neighborhood markets, which are vital to the historical fabric of the community. Revised 08-2014 Packet Pg. 182 5.e HISTORICAL INFORMATION (Please include city directory research and/or a title search if the property is important for its association with a significant person.) The first of the Collamers to come to Fort Collins was Jacob V. Collamer, who helped establish Fort Collins through his participation in the agricultural colony movement. The colony movement assisted in development of the area that would become Fort Collins. In an attempt to reduce risks associated with moving westward, sometimes entire communities moved together. The bond between the members of the community allowed faster development of schools and churches .4 Jacob Collamer scouted the Cache la Poudre Valley in the late 1860s with the Mercer colony, which hailed from Mercer County, Pennsylvania.5 He brought several members of his family and the Mercer colony tried to create a settlement. They settled west of Fort Collins, in the area known as Prospect Park and the Scott -Sherwood addition, and began building a canal .6 The Mercer ditch, as they called it, ended up financially ruining the colony due to unanticipated associated costs. Even after the colony's financial hardship and the departure of many of its members within ten years, not all Collamers left Colorado.' Many members of the colony, discouraged that they were not able to complete the ditch themselves, left Fort Collins throughout the years leading up to 1879. In 1879, a new group re -chartered the New Mercer Ditch Company and completed the New Mercer irrigation ditch, which is still used today.$ While Jacra Collamer returned east, not all of his children followed. Frank Collamer, one of five brothers, stay. -+ behind and established roots in Colorado. He married Achsah Alice Hulse and had 12 _hiidren 'lith her.9 In 1899, they moved to 317 North Meldrum Street.10 They continued to live at 317 North Meldrum until 190 . ' While the Collamers lived there, Frank had a grocery store in the front of the home. Rob. "e)Ilamar Burrill Dermody remembered how her father, Frank, had always wanted a grocery stoi �'- Ai during this time, the Collamers acquired more property on block 53. In Februarl , �10, Fwnk Collamer bought lot 4 for $55 from M. G. Palmer (315 North Meldrum), and ir.. nril, ne pur%,nased lot 3 from Lottie E. Davy for $50 (313 North Meldrum). In 1906, he bought what wou, ' be the umma Malaby Grocery from the Commercial Bank and Trust Company. The Emma Mai, 1)y Grocery building originated at 148 North College Avenue in the 1870s.13 Ruth Collamer Burrill L Armody, owner of the building for many years until her death in 1986, believed it was built in 1874 although there are no official records to confirm the exact date.14 False front wooden commercial structures saturated Colorado's developing commercial landscape in the nineteenth century before railroad development accelerated the construction of L 4 Fort Collins History Connection, "Establishing the City: Old Town and new Town. 1866-1877." s Sources conflict on whether the Mercer colony arrived in 1868 or 1869; however, sources (Frank McClelland's article, Ansel Watrous's History of Lorimer County Colorado 1911 and Fort Collins History Connection early Fort y Collins history) agreed that this group was the first colony that tried to settle Fort Collins. aD 6 Frank McClelland, "Frank Collamer Watched Vast Plains Lands of Poudre Valley Developed Into Thriving Agricultural Center," Pioneer Men, May 3, 1946; Ansel Watrous, History of Lorimer County, Colorado 1911 (Fort E Collins, CO: The Old Army Press, 1972), 229.

Wilkins ran a photography studio out of the building from 1881 to 1896, when he sold the property to Thomas Quinn .17 After that, the 1902 Fort Collins City Directory lists Elizabeth and Nettie St. Clair's millinery shop at 148 North College. The Commercial Bank and Trust company bought the lot from Benjamin T. n Whedbee, but had no use for the false -front building. The bank constructed a one-story, brick- 0 W and -stone building on the lot in 1906. Frank Collamer purchased the false -front structure, moved it a to lot 3 of block 53, and was operating it as a grocery by 1907.18 z Upon moving the structure to Meldrum, Frank Collamer painted the building white with dark trim and added a boardwalk porch and covered awning roof, supported by four posts.19 Later that same year, Frank sold the stock of this grocery to Mr. W. E. Robinson and Mr. Grate, who took over the store. The Collamers continued to operate a grocery on Grant and Cherry Streets, as well as own the land that Meldrum grocery sat on.20 Frank's brother, Lyman B. Collamer, acquired lot 2 of block 53 (305 North Meldrum) from Frank Beach for $1,000 in 1908, completing the Collamer family ownership of the 300 block. Two years later, Lyman married Clara B. Brolliar and they lived in the home on lot 2. As Lyman started a new life with his wife, Frank moved to lot 1 (303 North Meldrum) and added a $450 addition to his new home.21 The Robinson and Grate grocery operation failed and Frank Collamer re -opened the 303 Meldrum grocery himself by 1909-1910.22 Arthur Collamer, Frank's son, attributed the failure of Robinson and Grate to their acceptance of credit. The Collamers operr.:ad on a strict cash-and-carry basis.23 The family business did well and by 1913-1914, try home at 315 North Meldrum was built and Frank Collamer Jr lived in it.24 Frank added a false -front wraparound addition to tii� 7rr.,ary building in 1916 to accommodate the family's wood yard business .25 The children of the , mily carried on the traditions: the boys worked in the wood yard and the girls clerked '-he groc� . y store.

The stable is architecturally similar to the stacked shed behind 313 North Meldrum and has an original pin lock on the south elevation door. Also behind the residence on 315 is a modern outbuilding, noncontributing. zs There is a historic stacked shed and barn also on the lot with 313 North Meldrum. These two are not recognized in Y the historical record; however, it can be discerned that they were built near the same time as the addition to support Q the wood yard business. There are three modern outbuildings (one beside the stacked shed and two near the barn) that were added after the period of significance and do not contribute. Revised 08-2014 Packet Pg. 184 Minerva took over operations, although Frank continued to own the land. Sometime within the 5.e next few years, his daughter Emma Malaby and her husband Henry Ross Malaby bought the store. The Malabys are listed as owners in the 1922 Fort Collins City Directory. Arthur ran the wood yard business until World War I when he joined the armed forces. During the war years, Ruth, his sister, took over operations. She married Frank Burrill in 1914 and continued working in the transfer business following his death in 1923.26 The transfer business delivered coal and hay sold from the wood yard store. The transfer business also delivered for downtown merchants. This increased the sphere of influence the family had on Fort Collins from the very local community to the city and surrounding area .27 When Ruth remarried in 1926, she changed the name of her business to Dermody Woodyard and Transfer. Ruth and her brother Fred ran a second hand store out of the property.28 A barn on the property housed North Park hay and the stables housed horses used for labor.29 Emma Malaby operated the grocery store until 1943.30 The store provided the neighborhood with a variety of goods, ranging from household items to foods and sweets. The convenience of buying groceries within a few blocks of the home offered an important service to neighbors, accessibility to those without automobiles, and served as a gathering place. These neighborhood groceries served the community with food and a place to build a sense of community. A local newspaper columnist wrote that in the mid -twentieth century "there were more than 30 neighborhood groceries. In fact, back in those days, there were more grocers than lawyers in Fort Collins, just as there were in most towns across America." 31 The disappearance of these hubs of activity can be traced to the rise of modern supermarkets with competitiN,.; prices, incorporation of more frozen foods in American diets, and increased use of automobile;.�2 After the store closed, the structure remained unocci ;pied until Pi '09. At that time, the owners, James and Carol Burrill, restored the building to usG le :�nditions and opened up Emma Malaby Antiques.33 Emma Malaby Antiques is not currently opt. � for business. In 2009, James and Carol moved a single, family home and garage from _ ,x/eland 1 305 North Meldrum.34 These properties, from 303 to 315 North Rgeldrui i, functioned together as a unit of both commercial and residential activity.

L �r;�,y A century -plus period, the family built additional structures on the Collamer-Malp'r,. , 'e)pe.'ies to accommodate the family businesses and family growth. All of the commercial eatures 1f the district were easily reached from Meldrum or Maple Street or the alleyway. These p �nts of entry kept the businesses accessible by foot, horse, or car The other important component o, 'hr. district is the residential and private aspect: homes and outbuildings. The outbuildings, although they potentially stored surplus supplies for the businesses or operated as workshops, were not open to the public. Family or renters lived in the homes, which faced either Meldrum or Maple Street.

There was a building permit issued to M Ruth Burrill on May 13, 1926 for 412 Maple that allowed her to construct an addition. This can be interpreted as the U initial construction of the or as an addition to the residence and that it evaded city directories.

For 2016, Council has asked that the Work Plans be more closely aligned with its Strategic Plan and Outcome Areas. In addition to the LPC's 2015 Work Plan, the 2015-2016 Strategic Plan is attached, as is the recent LPC response prepared for Council's Boards and Commission Periodic Review. To create its 2016 Work Plan, Commission members should identify ongoing and new goals and objectives that support those of Council. Based upon the 2015 Work Plan, staff has entered preliminary information into the draft work plan, using the Strategic Plan as the format. The areas of highest alignment were identified in the Periodic Review as Community & Neighborhood Livability, and Economic Heath Outcome Areas. Additionally, the LPC may find it has good alignment with Environmental Health. ATTACHMENTS 1. LPC Draft 2016 Work Plan (DOCX) 2. FC strategic-plan-2015 (PDF) 3.

These standards, funded through a State Historical Fund grant, have formed the basis for the Commission's review of several projects affecting Old Town, including Illegal Pete's and Galvanize. • A significant role the Commission plays is to perform the duties required to maintain Fort Collins' Certified Local Government (CLG) status with the federal government, in conformance with the National Historic Preservation Act. The CLG program gives the city broad powers to administer state and federal preservation regulations, including Section 106 Review and Compliance, and provides a dedicated pool of federal grants and the opportunity for Fort Collins' citizens to participate in the state's tax credit program. • To better comply with CLG requirements, and to provide important evidence requested by the Planning and Zoning Board, the LPC's duties were expanded in 2014 to include the review and provide a recommendation on development projects affecting designated and eligible historic properties. In 2015, the LPC established policies and procedures to fully implement the review process. 2016 WORK PLAN The Landmark Preservation Commission's 2016 Work Program consists of both continuing responsibilities and new projects. For 2016, the Commission has identified these goals to further align its strategic objectives with those of City Council, grouped by outcome area: Community & Neighborhood Livability Community character and quality neighborhoods are enhanced by ensuring compatible alterations and infill development. The Commission supports the Key Outcome Area of Community & Neighborhood Livability by serving as the final decision maker for determinations of Landmark eligibility and on the effect of proposed actions on this eligibility; and through the preservation and design review of exterior Packet Pg. 204 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 2 alterations on Fort Collins Landmark properties. The Commission further preserves Fort Collins' unique character by performing the duties required to maintain the City's Certified Local Government (CLG) status with the federal government, by overseeing all CLG responsibilities for Fort Collins' older building stock in conformance with the National Historic Preservation Act. In fiscal year (FY) 2014-2015, the LPC had ultimate responsibility for the review of 629 alterations or demolitions of historic and older buildings. Additionally, the Commission's goals and objectives align with Council's in these key areas: 1.1. Improve access to a broad range of quality housing that is safe, accessible and affordable. • Residents identified housing affordability as a high priority during community outreach sessions and in the 2013 Citizen Survey. • Tight rental market with vacancy rates of less than 3% is making it difficult for low income residents to live and work within Fort Collins. Several factors contribute to affordability issues for a broad range of the population. A market study may be needed to identify the factors and potential ways the City can mitigate them. • Focus should be on both creating opportunities for ownership and access to affordable rental units for all impacted residents. In addition, housing strategies should consider the needs of a growing homeless population. 1.2 Preserve the significant historical character of the community. • Fort Collins has several aging neighborhoods. • The character of many neighborhoods is changing as student housing expands, higher density development occurs, and the desires of a diverse population change. • Focus on programs and aligning fees, codes and standards that preserve the character and sense of community that gives Fort Collins a unique sense of place while allowing appropriate infill development and redevelopment. • The first step to preserving the historic character of the community is identifying significant areas and individual properties through historic property survey. The survey of areas containing a preponderance of older buildings and structures results in proactively identifying individual properties and areas of historic and architectural significance. o In 2016, staff will seek funding for on -going survey through State Historical Fund and Certified Local Government grants. The Commission's priorities for survey, as funding allows, are: ■ The West Side Neighborhood, including the Loomis Addition, City Park Neighborhood and the properties along Mountain Avenue and Oak Street, which are all areas facing substantial development and infill pressures; ■ Properties 40 years old and older likely to be affected by development along the MAX/BRT corridor; ■ Properties in the area surrounding Colorado State University; and ■ Commercial and residential properties in the Midtown area, with an emphasis on the University Acres, Indian Hills and College Heights neighborhoods. o In 2016, the Landmark Preservation Commission will continue to promote awareness of, and incentives for, historic preservation. The Design Assistance Program, for example, is an increasingly popular mechanism for promoting context sensitive infill design. o The Commission is also exploring a recognition program for Landmark properties through the installation of sidewalk pavers publicized through on-line walking tours -2- Packet Pg. 205 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 3 and podcasts. This will promote community awareness and pride, while encouraging healthy habits among Fort Collins' citizens. 1.3 Direct and guide growth in the community through appropriate planning, annexation, land use, and development review processes. • Colorado State University (CSU) is growing significantly and plans $1.513 of construction and an expected student population of 35,000 over the next 10 years. • Fort Collins' population is expected to grow by 50% over the next 20 years and the City of Fort Collins currently has more than $213 of significant construction projects in process. • Partnerships are needed with CSU to assess impacts and collaboratively align efforts. • Effort is needed to streamline the process, and align staffing, fees, codes, funding, standards and relationships to effectively manage growth consistent with City plans and goals in areas of sustainability, sense of place, livability and environmental health. The process is intended to balance predictability and flexibility. • The comprehensive Historic Preservation Process and Codes Improvements Study culminated in Council's adoption of extensive revisions to the codes pertaining to historic preservation. These changes, which streamlined review processes and aligned codes, provide for development consistent with City Plan and other adopted plans and policies. The continued implementation of these codes and processes is the Commission's highest priority in 2016. • Land Use Code changes adopted in 2014 provide for Commission recommendations on land use and development projects affecting historic properties. Through this review process, in 2016 the Commission will continue to further Council's and the community's goals of increased predictability and context sensitive infill development. 1.4. Preserve and provide responsible access to nature. • Fort Collins enjoys a unique appeal based on our open spaces, access to mountains, parks and trail systems and our individual identity separate from neighboring communities. • Maintaining the positive and unique character of the community while we transition from a large town to a small city will require thoughtful and careful planning and compromise. • Expand, enhance and protect City open space lands and the trail network. • Promote Nature in the City programs through enhanced green spaces that increase the integration of natural habitat with urban spaces. 1.5 Preserve and enhance the City's sense of place. • Fort Collins enjoys a unique appeal based on our open spaces, access to mountains, parks and trail system, high quality school system, and our individual identity separate from neighboring communities. Fort Collins is perceived as the destination of choice in Northern Colorado for entertainment and dining, and was once the shopping destination in the region. • Maintaining the positive and unique character of the City while we transition from a large town to a small city will require thoughtful and careful planning and compromise. • Enhance Downtown character and lead appropriate redevelopment of Midtown. • Focus also on placement of neighborhoods and their proximity to schools, child care, grocery stores, recreation opportunities and public transportation. • Historic preservation preserves and protects the important aspects of Fort Collins' history that give it its identity. It is this sense of place that promotes community pride, and results in -3- Packet Pg. 206 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 4 respect for the collective standards acceptable to this community. In 2015, the Commission will maintain the positive and unique character of Fort Collins through historic property survey and landmark designation, and through design review of landmark properties. A goal in 2015 is to set yet a new record for landmark designations, surpassing the 2014 record. 1.6. Promote health and wellness within the community. • Provide facilities and infrastructure that promote active lifestyles (e.g., walking, biking, longboards). • Support and encourage establishing organic gardens on unused land while increasing diversity, raising awareness for health and wellness, and inspiring and educating youth, adults and seniors to create an economically sustainable system. • Promote a community food system that supports a healthy lifestyle in which food production, processing, distribution and consumption are integrated to enhance the environmental, economic, social and nutritional health of a neighborhood. 1.7. Leverage and improve collaboration with other agencies to address the prevention of homelessness, poverty issues and other high priority human service needs. • Multiple public and private organizations work to address and improve social, environmental and economic issues within the community and the region. Overlap exists in select areas and holes exist where issues are not effectively addressed. • Collaboration and partnering can improve the overall effectiveness of all programs through the synergy of joint efforts, eliminating redundancy, and identifying underserved areas. 1.8 Expand organizational and community knowledge about diversity, and embrace cultural differences. • The community and the City organization are growing increasingly more diverse in areas of age, ethnicity and culture. • The City can support efforts to promote more diversity in hiring and public outreach to acknowledge, reflect and account for changing community demographics. • Partner with other community groups, such as CSU, to create education and awareness programs that can help to celebrate and acknowledge differences while bringing people together to maintain a strong sense of community. • In 2015, the Landmark Preservation Commission will continue to foster diversity through recognition of the roles that various cultures and ethnic groups have played in our community's history: o On -going surveys and contextual histories capture the diversity historically present within Fort Collins, exemplified through the documentation of neighborhoods with identifiable building designs and material choices, and traditionally populated by people of similar economic means and shared cultural histories. In 2015, the contextual history of the Loomis Addition will be made available in print and on-line. o Efforts are underway to partner with emerging informational outlets within the community, including blogs and NextDoor, to feature monthly articles on the history of the neighborhoods that collectively make up Fort Collins. -4- Packet Pg. 207 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 5 o In 2015, the Commission and the Historic Preservation Division will continue their 20 year partnership with CSU, to provide internships and learning opportunities for graduate -level students of historic preservation and related fields. 1.9. Develop clear goals, strategic definition and description of the City's social sustainability role within the community. • With poverty rates at 19%, a significant portion of the community lives in or near poverty. Demographic data has gaps, inconsistencies and lacks organization -wide coordination. • The City's procedures and processes do not currently contain fully developed strategies regarding community members who are marginalized and/or hard to reach. • Systematic approaches are needed to determine the appropriate municipal role and investments in addressing poverty and community sustainability. Metrics are needed to measure effectiveness in providing customer service to different resident subgroups. 1.10. Address neighborhood parking issues. • Continue developing and implementing a neighborhood parking permit program to provide residents with on -street parking availability. • Address impact of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) on adjacent residents and businesses. • Increase public access to convenient parking. • Encourage attractive, pedestrian -friendly urban design. • Promote transportation choices. 1.11 Maintain and enhance attractive neighborhoods through City services, innovative enforcement techniques, and voluntary compliance with City codes and regulations. • Public education and outreach is foundational to compliance. • Establish proactive, innovative and effective code enforcement processes. • Expand and maintain safe parks, protect open spaces, and implement walk and bike to school programs, like Safe Routes to School. • Ensure that neighborhoods have safe and well -maintained sidewalks so that all residents can safely walk or bike to parks, schools and playgrounds. • Partner with public health, law enforcement, planners and civic groups to improve neighborhood safety, clean up litter and graffiti, and prevent vandalism so neighborhoods are and feel safe and clean for the enjoyment of all. • Increase policing in high crime areas, pedestrian walkways and parks, and implement alternative policing strategies, such as neighborhood watch groups. • Develop joint -use agreements that allow community members to use school -owned recreational facilities. In turn, those community organizations can offer the use of facilities (e.g., swimming pools) to schools. • Recently adopted design standards and guidelines for the Downtown River District and Historic Old Town District promote design flexibility while providing for context sensitive infill development. • A priority of Council and of the Commission is to enhance the attractiveness of the downtown commercial area and historic neighborhoods. hi 2015, the Commission will continue its support of these goals, in part through offering financial assistance for graffiti removal using techniques consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards; and further by incentivizing renovations -5- Packet Pg. 208 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 6 and upgrades which support the revitalization of older buildings and maintains safe and attractive neighborhoods. 1.12. Foster positive and respectful neighbor relationships and open communication, as well as provide and support conflict resolution. • Build community by supporting local events, programs, projects and education opportunities. • Encourage open communication, community engagement, and the formation of strong neighborhood ties though inclusivity, respect and volunteerism. • Provide tools to resolve conflict, repair harm and strengthen relationships. Economic Health The Commission supports the Economicin Health Outcome Area by leveraging investment. Maintaining the City's Certified Local Government (CLG) status enables Fort Collins' citizens to participate in the Colorado Tax Credit for Historic Preservation program, and for the City to receive funding from a dedicated pool of federal grants for historic preservation. Since attaining CLG status in 1991, the LPC has been directly involved in or has facilitated Fort Collins receiving just under $4.5 million dollars in State Historical Fund grants and an additional $100,000 in CLG grants. These grants have generating an estimated $31 million dollars in direct and indirect impact. 3.1 Align economic health goals and strategy across all levels of the organization and refine and agree upon the economic tools the City uses. • Consistency and a common understanding of the Economic Health goals and objectives is needed to ensure efforts are focused on those projects and programs that support these goals and objectives. • Develop and articulate economic health policy and goals that are agreed to by all decision makers. • Develop and articulate the economic health toolbox including the Urban Renewal Authority, Tax Increment Financing, Metro Districts, etc. • Use economic health policy and goals to guide the direction of programs and initiatives. In addition to leveraging grant funding, the LPC further promotes the economic well- being of the community through specific financial programs: • Landmark Rehabilitation Loan Program: Since 1995, $487,532 from the General Fund has leveraged $2.9 million in private investment in 139 historic projects. • Design Assistance Program: Since 2011, the program has incentivized the use of context -sensitive design for 55 projects in Fort Collins' historic Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods. • Colorado Income Tax Credits for Historic Preservation have returned 20% of approved costs on many of Fort Collins' largest rehabilitation projects, including the Northern Hotel, the Avery Block, and Illegal Pete's. Two residential -6- Packet Pg. 209 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 7 rehabilitation projects completed in 2015 returned $41,669.29 in tax savings to the property owners. • Facade and conservation easements are maintained on more than 40 historic buildings, the most recent of which is the perpetual easement on the Avery Block, adopted by Council in 2013. • Fort Collins is nationally recognized for its historic preservation successes, including Old Town Square, which is a notable destination spot for tourists. As reported in the 2005 "Economic Benefits of Historic Preservation in Colorado: Technical Report," prepared by Clarion Associates, heritage tourism in Colorado generated $3.4 billion dollars in expenditures, $1.1 billion in earnings, and nearly 61,000 jobs in 2003 alone. 3.2. Improve policies and programs to retain, expand, incubate, and attract primary employers where consistent with City goals. • Competition for primary employers has increased regionally based on available land and incentive options. • Continue to support and develop programs and practices that reinforce a strong sense of place and desirable local amenities. • Evaluate and develop policies, programs and tools that support the City's Economic Strategy and community values. 3.3. Support workforce development and community amenities initiatives that meet the needs of employers within the city. • Primary and secondary employers are increasingly challenged to find and attract skilled workers in technical and vocational areas of manufacturing and healthcare sectors. • Support and encourage programs and policies that promote and develop training opportunities. • Support and encourage programs and policies that foster partnerships with regional and state workforce development organizations. 3.4 Improve effectiveness through collaboration with economic -health oriented regional partners. • The region enjoys the efforts of multiple organizations working to improve economic conditions within the region including CSU, Rocky Mountain Innosphere (RMI), Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation (NCEDC), and various cluster organizations. • Develop and implement a unified strategy to define the roles, overlap, synergy and approach to improve the overall effectiveness of the various programs and initiatives deployed by all groups. • Partnerships should reach out to regional and global partners. 3.5. Sustain high water quality to support the community and water dependent businesses. • The city is nationally recognized as the microbrew capital of the country, and technology manufacturers also have a significant presence. Both of these are the result of a high quality and reliable water resource. -7- Packet Pg. 210 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 8 • Maintain and develop initiatives and programs to protect watersheds and resources to ensure long-term water availability at competitive rates. 3.6. Maintain utility systems and services; infrastructure integrity; and stable, competitive rates • The City's low energy costs and high reliability, due to the underground system, provides an advantage in attracting and retaining energy -intensive industries. Maintaining this cost advantage is important to retaining existing primary employers within the city. • Maintain competitive rate structure for utility customers. • Maintain and improve infrastructure with an eye to future trends. • The City will balance the priorities of maintaining low cost while pursuing renewable energy sources. 3.7 Support sustainable infill and redevelopment to meet climate action strategies • Build out within the City's growth boundaries is expected over the next 20-30 years. Growth will be denser and taller than historical norms and additional infrastructure will be needed to support remaining open field development. • Develop and promote development policies and practices that are consistent with climate action goals and strategies. • Develop and promote development policies and practices that bridge the tensions inherent with infill development. • The Commission has requested that staff pursue funding to develop design guidelines and/or pattern books for new and infill construction in areas adjacent to historic districts and properties. 3.8 Preserve the City's sense of place • Fort Collins enjoys a unique appeal based on our open spaces, access to recreation, parks and trail system, and quality school system. Fort Collins is a destination of choice in Northern Colorado for entertainment and festivals. • Maintain the positive and unique community character while we transition from a large town to a small city through planning and compromise. • Expand and enhance City open space lands and trail network. • Enhance Downtown character and influence appropriate redevelopment of Midtown using appropriate economic health tools. • The Commission's primary focus is on implementing the goals and actions identified as priorities by Council as a result of the recent Historic Preservation Improvements Study. • The Commission has requested that staff pursue funding to develop design guidelines and/or pattern books for new and infill construction in areas adjacent to historic districts and properties. • The Commission has requested that staff pursue a study of an expansion of the Old Town Historic District, to provide financial incentives to the numerous designated and eligible historic properties in the Downtown Commercial Center that are already subject to Historic Preservation restrictions. • Evaluate applications for individual and district landmark designation, and provide recommendations on eligibility to Council. At the end of 2013, Fort Collins could boast 264 Fort Collins Landmarks, 15 properties listed on the State Register, and 734 properties listed on both the National and State Registers. -8- Packet Pg. 211 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 9 3.9 Provide transparent, predictable and efficient processes for citizens and businesses interacting with the City. • Fort Collins touches businesses from start to finish. Being efficient and clear to those navigating our processes helps build stronger relationships and enhances our reputation as a place to do business. • Maintain and improve systematic processes to encourage business retention, expansion and creation. • Participate in Complimentary Design Reviews of additions, alterations and infill construction in the core neighborhoods, helping owners and developers identify design issues at the preliminary stages of planning, and providing education and awareness of incentives to encourage compatible design. • Final decision -making authority for design review of designated landmark buildings. In 2013, the Commission heard 42 proposals for significant alterations and additions to Landmark properties. 3.10. Address Downtown parking issues identified in the adopted Parking Plan, including funding, convenient access, and integrated transit and alternate mode solutions. • Continue to create and maintain a parking system that meets the needs and expectations of residents, visitors and businesses. • Identify and address parking issues and impacts as a result of increased infill and redevelopment patterns within the community. • Support and enhance the economic vitality of Downtown and other business districts by managing parking in a way that balances the needs of businesses, visitors, customers, residents and other parking resources users. • Increase public access to convenient parking for all users and abilities. • Identify a sustainable funding source, including partnerships, to address identified current and future parking structure needs throughout the community. • Provide parking at key locations to maximize effectiveness of integrated transit, bicycle and pedestrian solutions. • Design parking structures in a manner that is compatible with their urban context, yet still meets functional needs. 3.11. Encourage the development of reliable, ultra -high speed internet services throughout the community. • Broadband services are integral to a community in multiple ways as they support economic vitality, quality of life and governmental operations. • The telecommunications industry and service expectations by customers are both changing, making it prudent for the City to establish a vision and plan for the role of "next generation" broadband and telecommunication services in Fort Collins. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH -9- Packet Pg. 212 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 10 The Landmark Preservation Commission supports the Key Outcome of Area of Environmental Health through its emphasis on sustainability and greening historic properties. Historic preservation has an inherent connection with environmental sustainability. The re -use of historic buildings and greening existing buildings are highly effective tools for environmental stewardship. Many older buildings are remarkably energy efficient because of their site sensitivity, quality of construction, and use of passive heating and cooling, and can go green without compromising historic character. The demolition of older buildings and their features results in a significant hit on scarce resources: • By throwing away thousands of dollars of embodied energy. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, even with recycling 40 percent of the materials, it takes approximately 65 years for a new green, energy -efficient office building to recover the energy lost in demolishing a comparable existing building. • By replacing it with materials vastly more consumptive on energy: Brick, plaster, concrete and timber are among the least energy consumptive of materials. The major components of new buildings are plastic, steel, vinyl and aluminum, which are among the most energy consumptive of materials. • The vast majority of heat loss in homes is through the attic or uninsulated walls, not windows. Adding just 3 1/2 inches of fiberglass insulation in the attic has three times the R factor impact as replacing a single pane window with the most energy efficient window. Properly repaired historic windows have an R factor nearly indistinguishable from new, so-called, "weatherized" windows. 4.1. Improve and protect wildlife habitat and the ecosystems of the Poudre River and other urban streams. • The Poudre River has multiple and, at times, competing demands from various users. It is also a natural amenity and ecosystem to be carefully nurtured and maintained. • Given multiple stresses on the ecology of the Poudre River, there will be a need for local and regional investments if river health is to be maintained and/or improved. • A healthy Poudre River supports the Downtown economy. 4.2. Achieve environmental goals using the Sustainability Assessment framework. • Develop consistent organizational capability to effectively implement and use the Sustainability Assessment framework and toolbox for City decisions while increasing transparency and fostering greater integration across City departments. • Create a decision framework that identifies social, environmental and economic decision implications and optimizes outcomes. 4.3. Implement indoor and outdoor air quality improvement initiatives. • Fort Collins' ground -level summertime ozone levels continue to be among the highest along the Front Range. Surveys indicate 21-32% of Fort Collins households have a member suffering from respiratory disease. Oil and gas exploration continues to increase in the region, causing an increase in air pollutant emissions. • Indoor air quality is typically more than 70% worse than outdoor air; 70% of Fort Collins buildings have high radon levels. • Strategies, programs and requirements that improve indoor and outdoor air quality are needed. -10- Packet Pg. 213 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 11 4.4. Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by creating a built environment focused on green building and mobile emission reductions. • Forty-one percent of US energy consumed in 2011 was by residential and commercial buildings. Energy efficiency and conservation is the most cost-effective approach to reduce building -related consumption and GHG emissions. • Need building code, green building programs and energy conservation programs that drive efficiency and conservation, and reduce GHG emissions. • Need long-term planning for climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. 4.5. Demonstrate progress toward achieving net zero energy within the community and the City organization using a systems approach. • Existing buildings are responsible for more than 80% of the community electricity and natural gas use, account for two-thirds of Fort Collins' GHG emissions, and cost around $150M per year to operate. Significant opportunities exist through efficiency and conservation -- the most cost-effective approach -- to reduce impacts. • Fundamental shifts away from coal -based electricity and fossil fuel use toward increased renewable energy will be needed to meet community GHG and energy goals. • Education, training, regulations and incentives are needed to address and achieve both net zero energy and zero waste goals. 4.6. Engage citizens in ways to educate and change behavior toward more sustainable living practices. • The majority of Fort Collins residents lack awareness and understanding of sustainable living opportunities at the personal and community level. • Locally relevant and understandable messaging and education about environmental issues and opportunities is needed to engage the community, including parts of the community that normally do not get involved, and to support a shift in behavior and daily practices on the part of the broader community. 4.7. Increase the community's resiliency and preparedness for changes in climate, weather and resource availability. • Extreme events will continue to impact Fort Collins residents, infrastructure and resources. A multi -pronged approach to increase awareness and integrate planning efforts is necessary to address negative economic impacts, resource constraints, business continuity and public health and safety, and to improve the overall response and resilience of this community. • Additional awareness and consideration of future climate impacts need to be integrated into current and strategic City planning. • Ongoing monitoring of climate science and evolving climate modeling will be necessary and will assist in future course corrections and additional strategy identification. 4.8. Protect and monitor water quality, and implement appropriate conservation efforts and long-term water storage capability. • The watershed acts as a primary water treatment facility, so monitoring and protecting our watershed is critical. -11- Packet Pg. 214 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 12 • The City is nationally recognized as the microbrew capital of the country. In addition, technology manufacturers have a significant presence. These key local industries and others rely on a high quality and reliable water resource. • While the City's water consumption per capita has declined approximately 25% over the past 10 years, anticipating additional stress on water resources means additional conservation measures, education and programs are needed. Water quality monitoring programs within the urban and lower watersheds support long-term environmental objectives and support beneficial uses of local waterways. • Initiatives and programs are needed to balance water supply and demand in the face of a changing climate and increasing population, ensuring it is available long into the future and during times of drought. • The City will explore environmentally responsible water storage solutions. 4.9. Meet or exceed all environmental regulations. • The Colorado Department of Health is renewing the effluent discharge permits of the City's two wastewater facilities. More stringent regulations for nutrient, metal, temperature and ammonia are anticipated. It is also anticipated that more stringent state regulations will be implemented in the next few years. • Wastewater infrastructure improvements are needed to meet GHG reduction goals. • Maintaining and improving the City's current infrastructure of water facilities and pipes, combined with a commitment to always exceed all water and wastewater regulations, is a high priority for the City. 4.10. Conserve and restore biodiversity and habitat. • There are opportunities to enrich the biological diversity and resilience of City- owned properties, especially Natural Areas. • Investments can continue to be made in restoration and rehabilitation efforts that lead to a richer biota that is characterized by native plants and animals. • The City will continue to acquire land and water for habitat -related purposes. 4.11. Demonstrate progress toward achieving zero waste within the community and the City organization. • Fort Collins currently diverts about 58% of our waste stream, yet the tons of waste to the landfill increased from 2011 to 2012. The landfill currently has approximately 15 years of remaining life, with an estimated replacement cost of $80M or more. • Education, training, regulations and incentives are needed to address and achieve both net zero energy and zero waste goals. IDCulture & Recreation 2.1 Improve low and moderate income citizen access to, and participation in, City programs and facilities. -12- Packet Pg. 215 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 13 • The Landmark Rehabilitation Loan Program offers no -interest loans for property maintenance and rehabilitation, providing an opportunity for low and moderate income citizens to improve their property. • The Design Assistance Program further helps reduce the costs for property maintenance and renovation, through financial assistance for engineering and building plans. • In 2015, all application forms for historic preservation financial incentive programs will be translated into Spanish. 2A Maintain and enhance the current culture, recreation and parks systems. • Financial incentives for historic preservation, notably State Historical Fund grants, provide an important source of funding for repairs and maintenance for several cultural facilities in Fort Collins, including City Park and Grandview Cemetery, the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art, the Carnegie Library, and the Avery House and Old Waterworks. Funding and support for cultural properties will be continued in 2015. 16 Develop a clear strategic definition and description of the City's role in the culture and arts while leveraging partnerships with other community organizations In 2014, the Commission will focus its efforts to inform and educate the community on the long- term social, environmental and economic benefits of historic preservation through: • Continue community outreach by providing technical information and education on the community -wide benefits of historic preservation, and by promoting financial incentives for historic preservation. • Continue the "Friends of Preservation" award program. • Facilitate communication with public and private business and development entities. • Facilitate the Demolition/Alteration Review process, allowing citizen input on the demolition or alteration of non -designated properties fifty years old or older. 2.7 Promote a healthy community and responsible access to nature. Environmental Health 4A Reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by creating a built environment focused on green building and mobile emissions reductions. 4.6 Engage citizens in ways to educate and change behavior toward more sustainable living practices • The Commission has requested that staff pursue funding to develop design guidelines and/or pattern books for new and infill construction in areas adjacent to historic districts and properties. • The adaptive re -use of historic buildings and the greening of existing buildings are effective tools for environmental stewardship. Many older buildings are remarkably energy efficient because of their site sensitivity, quality of construction, and use of passive heating and cooling, and can go -13- Packet Pg. 216 6.a Landmark Preservation Commission 2016 Work Program Page 14 green without compromising historic character. Renovating an existing building creates 30-50% less carbon emissions than new construction. In 2014, the Commission will participate in and provide funding towards model projects that promote sustainable historic preservation practices. EDHigh Performing Government 7.1 Improve organizational capability and effectiveness —professional development, leadership, change management, strategic thinking, fiscal literacy and staff engagement • In 2016, the Commission will reaffirm its high standards for professionalism through ongoing training and education.

The City is nationally recognized by various organizations and magazines as a best place to live. Sixty miles from Denver, Fort Collins is home to Colorado State University (CSU), with 27,000 students, several large high-tech employers, and leading businesses in the microbrew industry. The community has access to outdoor activities and local cultural amenities, and is renowned for its bike -friendly, small-town feel. Fort Collins has grown from a small agricultural community into a major employment and retail center for Northern Colorado. With a median age of 29 and a median family income of more than $77,700 in 2012, residents are well educated, engaged in their community and passionate about their area amenities. The high quality of life enjoyed by residents, businesses and visitors is a result of the community's focus on the environment, enthusiasm for health and the outdoors, a strong educational system, extensive park and open space systems, and a flourishing Downtown district. At the same time, 19 percent of the Fort Collins population is at or below the poverty line and housing is considered expensive. Fort Collins has experienced rapid growth over the past 50 years, growing from approximately 25,000 residents in 1960 to 151,330 today. During that time, the City purposefully established a Growth Management Area (GMA) boundary with neighboring communities in order to maintain the local identity and avoid merging communities. Over the past 25 years, the City has acquired open space and conservation easements to create community separator open spaces. It is estimated the City will be fully built out within the GMA by 2030, with approximately 225,000-240,000 residents. The City's revenue comes from sales and use tax, property tax, fees and grants. Seventy-three percent of the General Fund is supported by sales, use and property tax. The City weathered the most recent economic slowdown with fairly stable revenues, has a healthy fund balance position and has limited debt. As a result, the City received an AAA rating from Moody's Investors Service in 2012. Voters have demonstrated willingness to support critical City services by renewing expiring taxes and adding the new Keep Fort Collins Great .85% sales tax in 2010. The City provides a full range of services, including: City Of • Police Fort Collins • Fire Protection through a local Authority • Streets, Transportation & Transit infrastructure • Parks, Recreation, Natural Areas & Cultural facilities • Planning, Engineering & Community services • Sustainability Services — Economic Health, Environmental Services & Social Sustainability • Utilities— Electric, Water, Wastewater & Storm water • Support Services — Leadership, Human Resources, Information Technology, Communication, Financial Services, City Clerk's Office, Facilities and Fleet Services, as well as Legal and Judicial Services NN C a U w y m U LL C W E r U ago 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Packet Pg. 225 CITY OF FORT COLLINS 2015-16 STRATEGIC PLAN COMMUNITY & NEIGHBORHOOD LIVABILITY Fort Collins provides a high quality built environment and supports quality, diverse neighborhoods. Fort Collins is a healthy and vibrant community. The City is currently transitioning from a more suburban, large town to a small urban city with a small-town feel. As this transition occurs, our goal is to create a walkable city where people want to live, work and play. The City is committed to creating a desirable urban environment that recognizes the importance of the form of the environment (e.g., community architecture, historic preservation and pedestrian - oriented environments) while creating a safe, beautiful, and friendly experience for residents and visitors. Development and growth are focused within the community's designated Growth Management Area to protect sensitive natural resources and the regional landscape, encourage infill and redevelopment, and make the most efficient use of public infrastructure. The City recognizes our existing neighborhoods and actively seeks to preserve and support their vibrancy. As the City grows and redevelops, our vision is an overall average increase in density that fosters efficient land use; supports a mix of housing types integrated with activity centers and diverse businesses; increases the safety and efficiency of public utilities, streets, facilities and services; and accommodates multiple modes of travel (including vehicle, bus, bike and pedestrian). Alternative transportation modes and access to key health and human services facilities are a priority. The aesthetics of urban form, connectivity and inclusion of nature are used to create an attractive design. Land uses are brought together in a development pattern designed to create a pleasant environment for walking and bicycling, as well as automobile and transit travel. Distinctive, attractive and functional building and streetscape design, thoughtfully preserving valuable historic resources, and incorporating public art are key parts of community livability. A wide variety of housing types (including single-family, duplexes, townhomes, apartments and condos/lofts) are offered so that people from all income levels may have choices for safe, affordable and quality housing in diverse neighborhoods throughout the community. Business diversity across all neighborhoods is also a priority. Community and Neighborhood Livability also addresses challenges related to leading active lifestyles, and the accessibility of health and human services facilities for all demographics of the community. Community and Neighborhood Livability is related to human well-being and wellness, and opportunities for residents to work together, to be self-sufficient, and to live, work and travel within the community. It also supports local food production to improve the availability and accessibility of healthy foods. 14 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Packet Pg. 226 CITY OF FORT COLLINS 2015-16 STRATEGIC PLAN �J The Community and Neighborhood Livability Outcome focuses on: • A compact pattern of development within a well-defined community boundary. • Adequate and safe public facilities, services and infrastructure to serve existing development and new growth. • Interconnected neighborhoods and ways to accommodate multiple means of travel. • Opportunities for redevelopment, revitalization and growth in targeted areas. • Cohesive, distinct, vibrant, safe and attractive neighborhoods. • Vital and appealing transit -oriented activity centers and destinations throughout the city. • Quality, accessible and affordable housing options for all household types and income levels. • Preservation and enhancement of historic resources. • Visible and accessible nature in the city with an interconnected system of open lands. • Opportunities to lead active and healthy lifestyles. • Access to healthy, locally grown or produced food. • Addressing the impact of increasing poverty and homelessness. DEFINITIONS & DESCRIPTIONS 1.1. Improve access to a broad range of quality housing that is safe, accessible and affordable. • Residents identified housing affordability as a high priority during community outreach sessions and in the 2013 Citizen Survey. • Tight rental market with vacancy rates of less than 3% is making it difficult for low income residents to live and work within Fort Collins. Several factors contribute to affordability issues for a broad range of the population. A market study may be needed to identify the factors and potential ways the City can mitigate them. • Focus should be on both creating opportunities for ownership and access to affordable rental units for all impacted residents. In addition, housing strategies should consider the needs of a growing homeless population. 1.2. Preserve the significant historical character of the community. • Fort Collins has several aging neighborhoods. • The character of many neighborhoods is changing as student housing expands, higher density development occurs, and the desires of a diverse population change. • Focus on programs and aligning fees, codes and standards that preserve the character and sense of community that gives Fort Collins a unique sense of place while allowing appropriate infill development and redevelopment. 1.3. Direct and guide growth in the community through appropriate planning, annexation, land use and development review processes. • Colorado State University (CSU) is growing significantly and plans $1.5B of construction and an expected student population of 35,000 over the next 10 years. • Fort Collins' population is expected to grow by 50% over the next 20 years and the City currently has more than $2B of significant construction projects in process. • Partnerships are needed with CSU to assess impacts and collaboratively align efforts. • Effort is needed to streamline the process, and align staffing, fees, codes, funding, standards and relationships to effectively manage growth consistent with City plans and goals in areas of sustainability, sense of place, livability and environmental health. The process is intended to balance predictability and flexibility. 1.4. Preserve and provide responsible access to nature. • Fort Collins enjoys a unique appeal based on our open spaces, access to mountains, parks and trail systems and our individual identity separate from neighboring communities. • Maintaining the positive and unique character of the community while we transition from a large town to a small city will require thoughtful and careful planning and compromise. • Expand, enhance and protect City open space lands and the trail network. • Promote Nature in the City programs through enhanced green spaces that increase the integration of natural habitat with urban spaces. 16 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Preserve and enhance the City's sense of place. • Fort Collins enjoys a unique appeal based on our open spaces, access to mountains, parks and trail system, high quality school system, and our individual identity separate from neighboring communities. Fort Collins is perceived as the destination of choice in Northern Colorado for entertainment and dining, and was once the shopping destination in the region. • Maintaining the positive and unique character of the City while we transition from a large town to a small city will require thoughtful and careful planning and compromise. • Enhance Downtown character and lead appropriate redevelopment of Midtown. • Focus also on placement of neighborhoods and their proximity to schools, child care, grocery stores, recreation opportunities and public transportation. 1.6. Promote health and wellness within the community. • Provide facilities and infrastructure that promote active lifestyles (e.g., walking, biking, longboards). • Support and encourage establishing organic gardens on unused land while increasing diversity, raising awareness for health and wellness, and inspiring and educating youth, adults and seniors to create an economically sustainable system. • Promote a community food system that supports a healthy lifestyle in which food production, processing, distribution and consumption are integrated to enhance the environmental, economic, social and nutritional health of a neighborhood. 1.7. Leverage and improve collaboration with other agencies to address the prevention of homelessness, poverty issues and other high priority human service needs. • Multiple public and private organizations work to address and improve social, environmental and economic issues within the community and the region. Overlap exists in select areas and holes exist where issues are not effectively addressed. • Collaboration and partnering can improve the overall effectiveness of all programs through the synergy of joint efforts, eliminating redundancy, and identifying underserved areas. 1.8. Expand organizational and community knowledge about diversity and embrace cultural differences. • The community and the City organization are growing increasingly more diverse in areas of age, ethnicity and culture. • The City can support efforts to promote more diversity in hiring and public outreach to acknowledge, reflect and account for changing community demographics. • Partner with other community groups, such as CSU, to create education and awareness programs that can help to celebrate and acknowledge differences while bringing people together to maintain a strong sense of community. 1.9. Develop clear goals, strategic definition and description of the City's social sustainability role within the community. • With poverty rates at 19%, a significant portion of the community lives in or near poverty. Demographic data has gaps, inconsistencies and lacks organization -wide coordination. • The City's procedures and processes do not currently contain fully developed strategies regarding community members who are marginalized and/or hard to reach. • Systematic approaches are needed to determine the appropriate municipal role and investments in addressing poverty and community sustainability. Metrics are needed to measure effectiveness in providing customer service to different resident subgroups. 1.10. Address neighborhood parking issues. • Continue developing and implementing a neighborhood parking permit program to provide residents with on -street parking availability. • Address impact of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) on adjacent residents and businesses. • Increase public access to convenient parking. • Encourage attractive, pedestrian -friendly urban design. • Promote transportation choices. 1.11. Maintain and enhance attractive neighborhoods through City services, innovative enforcement techniques, and voluntary compliance with City codes and regulations. • Public education and outreach is foundational to compliance. • Establish proactive, innovative and effective code enforcement processes. • Expand and maintain safe parks, protect open spaces, and implement walk and bike to school programs, like Safe Routes to School. • Ensure that neighborhoods have safe and well -maintained sidewalks so that all residents can safely walk or bike to parks, schools and playgrounds. • Partner with public health, law enforcement, planners and civic groups to improve neighborhood safety, clean up litter and graffiti, and prevent vandalism so neighborhoods are and feel safe and clean for the enjoyment of all. • Increase policing in high crime areas, pedestrian walkways and parks, and implement alternative policing strategies, such as neighborhood watch groups. • Develop joint -use agreements that allow community members to use school -owned recreational facilities. In turn, those community organizations can offer the use of facilities (e.g., swimming pools) to schools. 1.12. Foster positive and respectful neighbor relationships and open communication, as well as provide and support conflict resolution. • Build community by supporting local events, programs, projects and education opportunities. • Encourage open communication, community engagement, and the formation of strong neighborhood ties though inclusivity, respect and volunteerism. • Provide tools to resolve conflict, repair harm and strengthen relationships. 0 N c Fa a J Y m U LL c m E L U El ® COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Packet Pg. 228 CITY OF FORT COLLINS 2015-16 STRATEGIC PLAN CULTURE &RECREATION Fort Collins provides diverse cultural and recreational amenities. Foundational to our community's quality of life, cultural and recreational opportunities are elemental to Fort Collins' continued success and desirability. Residents consistently place high value on these services and believe the City should continue its strong investment in them. The trail system is heavily used and cited as a priority for further connections. Culture & Recreation helps our residents lead enriched and healthy lives, and supports overall community wellness. Parks, trails, and recreational and cultural facilities provide beautiful public spaces that foster physical activity, build community through diverse interactions, and create opportunities for creativity, reflection and leisure. Our quality parks, trails, and recreation and cultural services create a sense of pride among residents and draw visitors and revenue into the city. In many respects, our parks, trails, and recreation and cultural services have defined, and will continue to define, who we are as a community. A focus on Culture, Parks and Recreation includes: • Ensuring the legacy of Fort Collins' parks, trails and cultural and recreation facilities c for future generations. m • Being the destination for cultural and recreation experiences in Northern Colorado. • Providing a wide variety of high quality recreation services and cultural opportunities. o • Creating an interconnected regional and local trail system, and network of parks and N recreational facilities. • Continuing our focus on exceptional stewardship and ecologically sound and sustainable operations. o N C A 20 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Improve low and moderate income citizen access to, and participation in, City programs and facilities. • A significant portion of Fort Collins' population — 19% in the last census — lives at or below the poverty line. Recreation programs and facilities have fees that are potentially prohibitive to low income families who have the least ability find alternatives within the private sector. • Access to recreation and programs is needed for low income residents who otherwise cannot afford public or private alternatives. • The City serves diverse customer needs, expectations, abilities and interests. • Provide a high level of customer service, and high quality programs and facilities. • Ensure convenient and affordable access and opportunities for all. 2.2. Develop effective marketing strategies that drive optimal attendance and revenue. • The City offers hundreds of different cultural and recreation programs. We need to determine what residents most value and desire, and what programs should be offered. • A clear understanding of recreational program trends and resident needs, including a prioritization of all programs, may be appropriate to ensure the most valued programs are provided within a limited budget. • Assessing and establishing the appropriate fee structure based on demand, alternatives and affordability should be included to improve self-sufficiency. • Mitigate to the extent possible infestation of our trees in order to maintain a healthy urban forest. 2.3. Develop effective Operation and Maintenance (0&M) funding alternatives for subsidized facilities and programs. • Recreation currently recovers 72% of direct costs, with the General Fund and Keep Fort Collins Great (KFCG) providing the balance. • Funding for parks and recreation decreased during the recent recession as funding was diverted to more critical services. • New funding sources will be required to support anticipated parks expenses: - New parks that come online will require maintenance. - Median renovations increase the cost of median maintenance. - Current stock of 40,000 trees is increasing each year with the added cost of pruning on a 10-year cycle. - Golf infrastructure requires significant capital investment that cannot be funded with green fees. • Programs to improve efficiency and productivity in a resource -constrained environment should also be explored. 2.4. Maintain and enhance the current Culture, Recreation and Parks systems. • The City provides multiple venues for culture and recreation through various facilities, programs and infrastructure. The City trail system was identified in the recent Citizen Survey as one of the highest priority amenities within the city. • Priority should be given to maintaining and repairing the existing infrastructure of parks, recreation centers, trails and cultural facilities. • Enhancing and expanding existing infrastructure is needed to support a growing population and demand for these types of services. • In addition to healthy physical activity, gathering places, and access to nature, the City should provide innovative, creative and interactive features in cultural, parks and recreational facilities, where learning and creativity can take place (e.g., makerspaces and other hands-on learning opportunities). 22 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Plan, design, and implement citywide park, recreation and trail improvements. • Trails have been identified by residents as one of the highest priority amenities provided by the City. • Explore alternatives that accelerate the trail system completion, taking into consideration right-of-way acquisition, easements and other public infrastructure challenges. 2.6. Develop a clear strategic definition and description of the City's role in the culture and arts while leveraging partnerships with other community organizations. • With the Lincoln Center, Gardens on Spring Creek, and Museum of Discovery, the City provides programs and services to the community beyond traditional parks and recreation centers. • A clear strategic direction is needed to the guide the growth and expansion of these amenities, and to deliver resources in a thoughtful, deliberate, planned approach. • In addition to providing high quality and diverse cultural programs and opportunities, the City also supports the visual and performing arts, and promotes the visibility of arts and culture in the community. • The City promotes, encourages and stimulates cultural development and participation, recognizing that artistic and cultural opportunities are essential to a vital and creative community. • Look for ways to promote the role of cable communications and partnerships with local public access television provider in fostering art and cultural opportunities within the city. 2.7. Promote a healthy community and responsible access to nature. • Fort Collins enjoys a unique appeal based on our open spaces, access to mountains, parks and trail system, high quality school system, and an individual identity separate from neighboring communities. Fort Collins is perceived as the destination of choice in Northern Colorado for entertainment and dining, and was once the shopping destination in the region. • Maintaining the positive and unique character of the city while we transition from a large town to a small city will require thoughtful and careful planning and compromise. Expanding and enhancing City open space lands and the trail network will increase access to nature, as will maintaining the City's urban forest and promoting community gardens and local food production, including organic farming.

Packet Pg. 231 CITY OF FORT COLLINS 2015-16 STRATEGIC PLAN �J ECONOMIC HEALTH Fort Collins promotes a healthy, sustainable economy reflecting community values. The City plays a critical role in shaping quality of life, creating a sense of place, and providing fiscal stability for the community. Defining sense of place requires identifying the various perspectives across the spectrum of the Fort Collins community. Sustainable economic health, maintaining the City's role as a regional economic center, continuing collaboration with Colorado State University and other regional participants, and supporting cultural amenities are important priorities. A sustainable economy means that residents can find employment and afford to live in the community; that businesses are able and encouraged to start, remain and expand in the community; and that everyone can expect quality City services and sustainable, attractive infrastructure. Economic Health depends on a safe community. Rather than "deal -making," the City's approach to Economic Health is one of "place -making" (a decision -making approach intended to preserve and enhance a vibrant community by optimizing its economy, environment and social values). The City creates an atmosphere where businesses that align with community values thrive, and focuses on retaining, expanding, incubating and, lastly, attracting businesses. Economic development efforts focus on established Targeted Industry Clusters including clean energy, water innovation, bioscience anc technology. In addition, the City supports those businesses that exemplify the overall character of the community. Creating a skilled workforce that meets the needs of local employers and creating partnerships with other economic development organizations are important to the City's efforts. New opportunities and challenges exist related to adequate technological infrastructure to support a knowledge -based economy and employment competition. Numerous prospects are CM emerging for redevelopment and infill. Priorities include efforts to foster entrepreneurship, grow and attract primary employers, remain a retirement and tourism destination, and support (, and strengthen existing businesses. The relationship of economic health to environmental o stewardship and a well -planned community is recognized in the decisions made and programs proposed. o J d A healthy and resilient economy includes: r OA 0 LL • Diverse jobs that enable citizens and businesses to thrive. • A reflection of our unique community in a changing world. `m • An innovative and entrepreneurial atmosphere that builds new and creative industries. • Strong partnership and collaboration with the private sector, educational institutions, and other organizations. a • A quality and comprehensive infrastructure that supports business. • Balancing the built and natural environment. ® COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Improve and protect wildlife habitat and the ecosystems of the Poudre River and other urban streams. • The Poudre River has multiple and, at times, competing demands from various users. It is also a natural amenity and ecosystem to be carefully nurtured and maintained. • Given multiple stresses on the ecology of the Poudre River, there will be a need for local and regional investments if river health is to be maintained and/or improved. • A healthy Poudre River supports the Downtown economy. 4.2. Achieve environmental goals using the Sustainability Assessment framework. • Develop consistent organizational capability to effectively implement and use the Sustainability Assessment framework and toolbox for City decisions while increasing transparency and fostering greater integration across City departments. • Create a decision framework that identifies social, environmental and economic decision implications and optimizes outcomes. 4.3. Implement indoor and outdoor air quality improvement initiatives. • Fort Collins' ground -level summertime ozone levels continue to be among the highest along the Front Range. Surveys indicate 21-32% of Fort Collins households have a member suffering from respiratory disease. Oil and gas exploration continues to increase in the region, causing an increase in air pollutant emissions. • Indoor air quality is typically more than 70% worse than outdoor air; 70% of Fort Collins buildings have high radon levels. • Strategies, programs and requirements that improve indoor and outdoor air quality are needed. 4.4. Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by creating a built environment focused on green building and mobile emission reductions. • Forty-one percent of US energy consumed in 2011 was by residential and commercial buildings. Energy efficiency and conservation is the most cost-effective approach to reduce building -related consumption and GHG emissions. • Need building code, green building programs and energy conservation programs that drive efficiency and conservation, and reduce GHG emissions. • Need long-term planning for climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. 4.5. Demonstrate progress toward achieving net zero energy within the community and the City organization using a systems approach. • Existing buildings are responsible for more than 80% of the community electricity and natural gas use, account for two-thirds of Fort Collins' GHG emissions, and cost around $150M per year to operate. Significant opportunities exist through efficiency and conservation -- the most cost-effective approach -- to reduce impacts. • Fundamental shifts away from coal -based electricity and fossil fuel use toward increased renewable energy will be needed to meet community GHG and energy goals. • Education, training, regulations and incentives are needed to address and achieve both net zero energy and zero waste goals. 4.6. Engage citizens in ways to educate and change behavior toward more sustainable living practices. • The majority of Fort Collins residents lack awareness and understanding of sustainable living opportunities at the personal and community level. • Locally relevant and understandable messaging and education about environmental issues and opportunities is needed to engage the community, including parts of the community that normally do not get involved, and to support a shift in behavior and daily practices on the part of the broader community. 34 © COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Increase the community's resiliency and preparedness for changes in climate, weather and resource availability. • Extreme events will continue to impact Fort Collins residents, infrastructure and resources. A multi -pronged approach to increase awareness and integrate planning efforts is necessary to address negative economic impacts, resource constraints, business continuity and public health and safety, and to improve the overall response and resilience of this community. • Additional awareness and consideration of future climate impacts need to be integrated into current and strategic City planning. • Ongoing monitoring of climate science and evolving climate modeling will be necessary and will assist in future course corrections and additional strategy identification. 4.8. Protect and monitor water quality, and implement appropriate conservation efforts and long-term water storage capability. • The watershed acts as a primary water treatment facility, so monitoring and protecting our watershed is critical. • The City is nationally recognized as the microbrew capital of the country. In addition, technology manufacturers have a significant presence. These key local industries and others rely on a high quality and reliable water resource. • While the City's water consumption per capita has declined approximately 25% over the past 10 years, anticipating additional stress on water resources means additional conservation measures, education and programs are needed. Water quality monitoring programs within the urban and lower watersheds support long-term environmental objectives and support beneficial uses of local waterways. • Initiatives and programs are needed to balance water supply and demand in the face of a changing climate and increasing population, ensuring it is available long into the future and during times of drought. • The City will explore environmentally responsible water storage solutions. 4.9. Meet or exceed all environmental regulations. • The Colorado Department of Health is renewing the effluent discharge permits of the City's two wastewater facilities. More stringent regulations for nutrient, metal, temperature and ammonia are anticipated. It is also anticipated that more stringent state regulations will be implemented in the next few years. • Wastewater infrastructure improvements are needed to meet GHG reduction goals. • Maintaining and improving the City's current infrastructure of water facilities and pipes, combined with a commitment to always exceed all water and wastewater regulations, is a high priority for the City. 4.10. Conserve and restore biodiversity and habitat. • There are opportunities to enrich the biological diversity and resilience of City - owned properties, especially Natural Areas. • Investments can continue to be made in restoration and rehabilitation efforts that lead to a richer biota that is characterized by native plants and animals. • The City will continue to acquire land and water for habitat -related purposes. 4.11. Demonstrate progress toward achieving zero waste within the community and the City organization. • Fort Collins currently diverts about 58% of our waste stream, yet the tons of waste to the landfill increased from 2011 to 2012. The landfill currently has approximately 15 years of remaining life, with an estimated replacement cost of $80M or more. • Education, training, regulations and incentives are needed to address and achieve both net zero energy and zero waste goals. 36 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

CITY OF FORT COLLINS 2015-16 STRATEGIC PLAN �J +» SAFE COMMUNITY Fort Collins provides a safe place to live, work, learn and play. The City of Fort Collins strives to be a safe and healthy place to live, work, learn and play. Safety and security are increasingly recognized as important aspects of a sustainable community as they help shape the overall appeal, viability, productivity and economic stability. The use of technology to improve investigative techniques and communication is important. Ensuring that Fort Collins is a safe place to live, work, learn and play is addressed by many services and programs, and the infrastructure provided by the City and its partners. Residents often identify immediate actions from Police Services and Poudre Fire Authority as key contributors to their sense of safety. However, the definition of a safe community is broader than simply police or fire assistance. It also extends to the City -provided utilities, including safe, reliable electric power and stormwater systems that are founded on best management practices and long-term planning. Safeguarding the community's infrastructure through design and building regulations, as well as inspections, is essential to ensuring a safe community. Key components of community education include prevention and preparedness, regulations and infrastructure investment. The City's Emergency Management system and many regional, state and federal partners work to minimize and effectively respond to emergency situations. A safe and healthy community includes • A safe, non -threatening city in which to live, work, learn, and play. • A safe community impacts the community's appeal, viability, productivity and economic stability. • Proactive and skilled police and fire services. • Safe, reliable and well -designed electric systems and best practice floodplain management. • An active emergency management system focused on prevention, preparedness and recovery with key partnerships in place to effectively respond to emergency situations.

Provide facilities and training capabilities to support a high -caliber police force. • As the community reaches full build out and a population of approximately 225,000 to 240,000, the type and volume of crimes and community support will change, requiring additional police resources and skill levels. • While keeping current with innovative and best practices, Police Services will focus on training staff in methods and practices consistent with the needs and issues within the community. 5.2. Optimize the use of technology to drive efficiency, productivity and customer service. • Computers and mobile devices improve the effectiveness and efficiency of various services across the City, and particularly in public safety. • The City's approach is to create the right technology platforms in an integrated way while minimizing the development of isolated functionality where possible. • Technology often comes with an added cost, so the City will balance this cost with the benefits in a way that prevents the use of technology for the sake of technology, and instead creates real, tangible benefits to the organization and community. 5.3. Align staffing levels to deliver services that meet community expectations and needs, and increase public safety operational efficiency. • The majority of residents surveyed (81%) are satisfied with the City's level of effort in public safety and emergency response. A data -driven methodology should be used to determine the necessary police staffing to sustain the level of public safety as the City grows. • Using timely and accurate data, Police Services will deploy resources to identify, prevent and address crime trends and quality -of -life issues in the City. • The City will continue to provide a safe built environment including well -lit buildings, streets and parking lots; safe design and inspection of facilities; clean, well -kept non-residential areas; and visible presence of safety personnel. • Reliable, efficient electric power is a critical and foundational service for residents and businesses. • Police Services will respond to emergency calls for service (priority one) within five minutes 75% of the time, and Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) will respond within 5 minutes 45 seconds at least 90% of the time. 5.4. Protect life and property with natural, aesthetically pleasing flood mitigation facilities through building codes and development regulations. • Stormwater master plans exist for all basins within Fort Collins. Development over the years has caused many of these plans to be outdated. The software these plans were developed on is out of date and no longer supported. • Funding for the needed improvements was deferred and many current projects are unable to proceed or are asked to fund the necessary improvements. • The stormwater master plans, planning tools and funding requirements should be reviewed and updated. Funding alternatives should be identified and a plan should be developed to create funding to implement necessary regional improvements. 5.5. Develop and implement emergency preparation, response and recovery plans across the organization in collaboration with other community efforts. • The September 2013 flood was handled professionally by all parts of the City. However, it identified the need for additional training and role clarity regarding Citywide emergency response and recovery plans for all hazards as defined in the City's Emergency Management Plan. • Representatives of each involved department need to develop the appropriate documentation and understanding of how to respond to an emergency. • A method needs to be established to keep department knowledge current and accurate through periodic review and drills. • Prioritizing employee training opportunities and regular certification audits will ensure the workforce is prepared to respond to emergencies at any time. 40 ® COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Improve safety for all modes of travel including vehicular, pedestrian and bicycles. • Safe travel is desired for all residents, and the City will work to decrease total traffic crashes to stated quarterly targets. When crashes occur, the City will identify specific causal factors that can be addressed in the built environment to reduce future accidents. • Appropriate programs, policies, infrastructure improvements, and educational resources are needed to reduce traffic accidents and bike/vehicle accidents, as well as to promote responsible driving and bicycling. 5.7. Use data to focus police efforts on reducing crime and disorder within the community. • Using timely and accurate data, Police Services will deploy resources to identify, prevent and address crime trends and quality -of -life issues in the city. • Additionally, they will enforce the existing laws in a professional and compassionate manner to address community problems. 5.8. Improve community involvement, education and regional partnerships to make our community safer and stronger. • Local and regional coordination is essential to a safe community so that all emergency response teams are aligned. • Offers should maximize the resources of local, regional and federal agencies to address safety issues. • Partnerships should continue to support key enforcement and educational programs such as animal control, mental health, substance abuse, detoxification, victim assistance, youth programs, bike safety, county jail and programs to reduce recidivism. • Efforts to foster public -private partnerships to address community safety, and programs that foster a sense of community pride and involvement should be continued. • The City could optimize and leverage volunteers as cost-effective staff resources and public advocates. 5.9. Partner with Poudre Fire Authority to provide fire and emergency services. • When a fire breaks out, the goal is to contain it within the room of origin. To enhance public safety, the goal is to increase containment in the room of origin to 80%. • Development review services ensure that new construction, redevelopment, and building are consistent with the International Fire Code. 5.10. Provide a high -quality, sustainable water supply that meets or exceeds all public health standards and supports a healthy and safe community. • Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations require the City to treat drinking water to established public health standards. It is anticipated that more stringent drinking water regulations will be implemented in the next several years. • The City must plan for and provide a stable supply of water to the community while allocating resources for water conservation and demand management. • Maintaining and improving the City's current water supply, water treatment, and water delivery infrastructure is a high priority for the City. 42 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

DEFINITIONS & DESCRIPTIONS 7.1. Improve organizational capability and effectiveness — professional development, leadership, change management, strategic thinking, fiscal literacy, and staff engagement. • Delivering services to Fort Collins residents occurs because of the capability and competency of staff. Providing opportunities to improve individual skills, knowledge and leadership through professional development programs will improve the organization's capacity and capability to deliver the outcomes and services of the City Strategic Plan. 7.2. Improve core Human Resource systems and develop a total reward system. • Compensation programs, position definitions, organizational structure, and performance management systems all play a significant role in employee morale and ultimately the culture of the organization. • Improvements in these systems can and will drive improvement in the organizational capability to deliver the outcomes and services of the City Strategic Plan. • Key systems and processes on which to focus include compensation, job analysis and performance management. 7.3. Align similar jobs and skill sets across the organization to address succession planning and career progression. • Similar positions across the City have evolved in isolation and independence. Staff lacks an understanding of upward opportunities, career progression is difficult to identify, and similar positions have different skill requirements and organizational levels. • An assessment of like positions across the organization to develop standard position expectations, skill set requirements, and progression opportunities will develop a stronger more capable workforce. 7.4. Strengthen methods of public engagement and reach all segments of the community. • The City recognizes the importance of sincerely engaging residents in the development of policy, programs and services. The City's Public Engagement Strategic Plan focuses on fostering an engaged citizenry, equipping staff to successfully lead public engagement projects, and ensuring accountability and promoting excellence in community engagement. • The city has begun to pursue methods of reaching traditionally hard -to -reach populations, and has also expanded the use of social media and technology. • These efforts supplement the more traditional outreach to boards and commissions, the business community, the environmental community and general residents, which will continue. 52 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Optimize the use of technology to drive efficiency and productivity, and to improve services. • The organization is becoming increasingly reliant on technology. IT budgets continue to grow at a rate higher than revenue and other expenditures. Technology provides the opportunity to improve productivity and customer service. • IT resources should be focused on those areas that drive the greatest improvement in customer satisfaction and operational productivity. 7.6. Enhance the use of performance metrics to assess results. • Significant progress has been made in defining appropriate metrics to track progress and success in achieving the City's Strategic Outcomes, objectives and departmental goals. • A data warehouse has been developed to house all metric information and provide easy reporting to various audiences. • Further work is needed to weed through existing metrics, and to ensure the right metrics are in place and that various leaders review and act on the information provided by the metrics. 7.7. Develop and implement enterprise -wide processes in appropriate areas — "Plan, Do, Check, Act" (PDCA) process improvement tool, safety, strategic planning, council and strategic plan tracking tool, budgeting, project management. • Organizational effectiveness can be improved by standardizing select processes, where the tools, skills, and activities of a process are understood by all. • PDCA has been adopted as the continuous improvement methodology to be used across the organization. The steps, tools and knowledge of how to implement PDCA need to be defined, training needs to occur, and leaders need to understand their role in helping staff operationalize PDCA methodology in a consistent manner across the organization. • Other processes that should be consistent across the enterprise need to be identified, agreed upon and then institutionalized across the organization. 7.8. Assess effectiveness of safety initiatives, develop and implement safety initiatives to achieve safety goals, and continue to focus on employee health and wellness. • The City's Recordable Accident Frequency (RAF) and Days Away Restricted or Transferred (DART) rates are significantly higher than the average municipal organization and private organizations. The average cost per claim is much lower than both of the norms. However, the DART rate indicates a substantial cost in lost or restricted time. • Data indicates that, while our incidents are less severe, the rate of incidents leaves significant room for improvement. • More prescriptive measures are needed to quickly change the organizational culture and sensitivity to creating safe work practices and a safe work environment. • The City continues to Invest and drive improvements in establishing and maintaining a well workforce. 7.9. Improve productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, customer service and citizen satisfaction in all areas of the municipal organization. • Exceptional service is driven by an efficient, effective, and productive government. Through operational excellence initiatives that focus on these qualities of public service, the City will continue to develop and implement effective processes and systems with a strong focus on continual improvement. • To achieve organizational sustainability goals specific attention should be paid to city buildings, operations and internal service areas. 7.10. Implement leading -edge and innovative practices that drive performance excellence and quality improvements across all Service Areas. • The organization lacks a systematic process for encouraging, evaluating, and implementing innovative and leading -edge ideas. In addition, the concept of "intelligent risk -taking" has not been clearly defined. • An organization -wide system should be developed and deployed to fund, pilot and implement innovative ideas, and to provide training to encourage intelligent risk -taking. 7.11. Proactively influence policy at other levels of government regulation. • The City plays a critical role in influencing local, state and federal policy that impacts our ability to achieve key outcomes. • Through the legislative policy agenda and participation in legislative and regulatory stakeholder groups, the City will proactively, rather than reactively, influence policy outcomes. 7.12. Promote a values -driven organizational culture that reinforces ethical behavior, exercises transparency and maintains the public trust. • The organization places a strong value on maintaining the public trust and has articulated high expectations regarding ethical behavior. However, there is not a systematic process for reporting unethical behavior and ethics violations for City employees. • An organization -wide ethics program to clarify expectations regarding specific behaviors will further embed our organization's core values into the culture and reinforce accountability. 7.13. Continuously improve the City's governance process. • The City operates on a council-manager form of government that combines the strong political leadership of elected officials with the strong managerial experience of an appointment manager or administrator. • Strong administrative and legal support, as well as ongoing improvements to processes such as Council onboarding, Board & Commission training, agenda preparation, and policy development, will enhance Council's effectiveness in establishing policy that aligns with desired community results. 54 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Packet Pg. 246 CITY OF FORT COLLINS 2015-16 STRATEGIC PLAN COMMUNITY DASHBOARD Staff developed the City of Fort Collins Community Dashboard in early 2013 based on work with the Futures Committee. The intent of the dashboard is to provide a high-level look at the performance of each of the City's seven key strategic outcomes. This Dashboard reinforces the City's steadfast commitment to accountability and continuous improvement. Within the last decade, our organization has undergone transformational change. We've deliberately moved toward an open, data -driven organization focused on results. Through the Community Dashboard and other performance measurement initiatives we are tracking and reporting our progress toward community goals. We will continue our commitment to creating a vibrant, world -class community. Every measure on the dashboard has a target by which performance is evaluated. The Dashboard is updated quarterly and is reviewed by the City's executive team and department heads. The purpose is to understand the performance of each outcome and determine where actions are necessary to improve results. Targets are updated annually and are finalized prior to the publishing the first quarter's results. The City's strategic plan contains specific strategic objectives to address issues in the community and to continuously improve results within each outcome. During the 2014 Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process, staff will align business -level metrics (BFO Metrics) with each of the strategic objectives. The intent of this activity is to clearly display the City's performance toward achieving each of the strategic objectives. Where desired results are not delivered, management will evaluate the actions necessary to improve performance. Conceptually, the performance of the BFO Metrics reflects the City's progress toward achieving the strategic objectives. Successfully doing that will have a positive impact on the performance of the Community Dashboard measures, which indicates the performance of each of the key strategic outcomes.

Packet Pg. 249 CITY OF FORT COLLINS 2015-16 STRATEGIC PLAN STRATEGIC FINANCIAL PLAN - 54EAR LOOK Five -Line Fund Analysis Process: As part of the City's bi-annual Strategic Planning Process, finance staff develops a Five - Line Review of the major funds across the City. The term Five -Line is used because the analysis focuses on five distinct elements of each fund — beginning fund balance, revenue, expenditures, minimum fund balance requirements, and ending fund balance. The objective of the review is to identify the overall health of the City's major funds relative to available revenue and desired expenditures. The department is responsible for a fund reviews past, present, and projected revenues and expenditures to develop a five-year forecast for how revenues match up with expenditures, and how it will affect the ending fund balance. Due to the uniqueness of each fund, various assumptions and adjustments are applied accordingly to get a more realistic and futuristic view of forecasted fund performance to compare projected fund balances to minimum fund balance policies. This analysis of forecasted fund performance is one of the key financial inputs to the City's Strategic Planning process. From a high-level view, this analysis can quickly assess ongoing operations, any expenditure/revenue concerns, or any events that may be occurring that would impact fund performance in an effort to have any potential issues with fund balance included in the strategic plan. Assumptions for years 2014-2018: • Expenses are assumed a 2% inflationary increase each year based on information available on federal government websites. • Revenue projections vary from fund to fund based on each unique revenue stream. • Minimum fund balances are set at the following: o 5% for majority of the funds including Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater o 8% for Light and Power o General Fund takes 1/6th of the next year's total operating expenses 62 ® COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Sales tax revenue has been growing at a healthy rate of 4-5.5% over the past three years. Use tax and development review fee revenue has been at an all-time high level. Property tax revenue has been flat for the last three years, but is anticipated to begin growing at the historic rate of 3-4% a year. As such, modest growth in revenue of 2-3% is conservatively assumed. It is anticipated expenditures can be managed within this available revenue while continuing to meet citizen expectations and current service levels. Four funds have an increasing service level requirement that cannot be met based on current revenue forecasts, or have expiring revenue sources that must be managed in the near term. The Golf and Transit funds demonstrate that revenues cannot support service requirements. Capital requirements to maintain the City's Golf assets exceed the current revenue generated within the Golf Fund. The need for increased Transit operations is a growing priority within the community. Additional funding will be required to expand evening and weekend service, and to improve headways. Both the Transportation Fund and Natural Areas have risks associated with expiring tax rates. Additional General Fund funding is anticipated as a result of a new intergovernmental agreement with Poudre Fire Authority and policy changes to the use of Conservation Trust revenue. Lastly, there are various risks that need to be addressed, such as renewals of Street Maintenance and Capital 1/4-cents in 2015, as well as potential litigation and settlement of the oil and gas moratorium. Status of Funds Healthy Funds: 1. General Fund • Expenditure growth in line with revenue projections 2. Benefits Fund • Impact of Health Care reform is uncertain 3. Self Insurance • Impact of oil and gas litigation is uncertain 4. All Utility Funds (Light & Power, Water, Wastewater, Stormwater, Utilities CS&A • Fluctuations in fund balance primarily driven by capital projects 5. Cultural Services. Recreation. and Conservation Trust Funds to Watch: 1. Golf Fund • Declining Revenue not keeping up with 0 & M • Long-term capital needs cannot be funded from current revenues • Debt will be paid off in 2018 and 2021 reducing expenses by about $200K each year 2. Transit Fund • General Fund accounts for 62% of Transfort's revenue budget • At current projections, operating deficit will begin in 2016 and subsequent years • MAX's true operating and revenue dollars are unknown • Expect increasing demand for more East-West Routes and Sunday service • Fixed -route bus replacement and other capital needs is approx. $5.7M in 2015 3. Transportation Fund • Expiring 1/4-cent sales tax - $7M in annual revenue for streets maintenance 4. Natural Areas Fund • County Tax is scheduled to Expire 2018 • Conservation Trust - 5. Museum Fund • New fund with minimal fund balance. The Museum loses $200k per year of funding from BOB beginning in 2016; current revenues are not sufficient to replace the lost revenue. Other Funding Issues Police Training? • Funding for a joint Police training facility with Loveland is in the preliminary stages. Costs for the facility range from $16M to $28M. Annual debt service requirements are in development. Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) • Revision to the intergovernmental agreement (IGA) will require additional funding to PFA • Escalation adjustment will be applied in years 2015-2018 to avoid large, up front catch-up costs Conservation Trust • The return of Conservation Trust funding to building trails will require approximately $735K in additional General Fund funding • Community push for earlier trail completion Tax Renewals/Needs • Capital Improvement and Pavement Management 1/4-cent taxes due to expire in 2015 • Renewal of KFCG at some level 64 0 COPYRIGHT CITY OF FORT COLLINS, 2014.

Please indicate the Key Outcome Areas this Board/Commission is aligned with, using (1) for the primary connection, (2) for second largest connection, and (3) for third connection: 1 Community and Neighborhood Livability 2 Economic Health High Performing Government Culture and Recreation 3 Environmental Health Safe Community Transportation How do the current duties of the board, as defined by City Code, align with the Key Outcome Areas identified above? What duties would you suggest be added and/or deleted? The Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) was created by Council in 1968 to perform the duties relating to the preservation of Fort Collins' unique character and significant historic resources in accordance with adopted codes and regulations. While we think of historic preservation as a way to honor our past, it is also a way to protect our future. Historic preservation has provided the tools and finances to support property preservation and rehabilitation, resulting in a nationally recognized vibrant downtown, safe neighborhoods, a variety of quality housing, and increased environmental sustainability. Fort Collins has more than 15,000 buildings that are 50 years old or older, with 272 Local Landmarks, and 735 National Register properties. Community character and quality neighborhoods are enhanced by ensuring compatible alterations and infill development. The Commission supports the Key Outcome Area of Community and Neighborhood Livability by serving as the final decision maker for determinations of Landmark eligibility and on the effect of proposed actions on this eligibility; and through the preservation and design review of exterior alterations on Fort Collins Landmark properties. The Commission further preserves Fort Collins' unique character by performing the duties required to maintain the City's Certified Local Government (CLG) status with the federal government, by overseeing all CLG responsibilities for Fort Collins' older building stock in Packet Pg. 260 6.c conformance with the National Historic Preservation Act. In fiscal year (FY) 2014-2015, the LPC had ultimate responsibility for the review of 629 alterations or demolitions of historic and older buildings. The Commission supports the Economic Health Outcome Area by leveraging investment. Maintaining the City's CLG status enables Fort Collins' citizens to participate in the state's tax credit program, and for the City to receive funding from a dedicated pool of federal grants. Since attaining CLG status in 1991, the LPC has been directly involved in or has facilitated Fort Collins receiving just under $4.5 million dollars in State Historical Fund grants and an additional $100,000 in CLG grants, generating an estimated $31 million dollars in economic impact. The LPC has further promoted the economic well-being of the community through additional financial programs: • Landmark Rehabilitation Loan Program: Since 1995, $487,532 from the General Fund has leveraged $2.9 million in private investment in 139 historic projects. • Design Assistance Program: Since 2011, the program has incentivized the use of context -sensitive design for 55 projects in Fort Collins' historic Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods. • Colorado Income Tax Credits for Historic Preservation have returned 20% of approved costs on many of Fort Collins' largest rehabilitation projects, including the Northern Hotel, the Avery Block, and Illegal Pete's. Two residential rehabilitation projects completed in 2015 returned $41,669.29 in tax savings to the property owners. • Fagade and conservation easements are maintained on more than 40 historic buildings, the most recent of which is the perpetual easement on the Avery Block, adopted by Council in 2013. • Fort Collins is nationally recognized for its historic preservation successes, including Old Town Square, which is a notable destination spot for tourists. As reported in the 2005 "Economic Benefits of Historic Preservation in Colorado: Technical Report," prepared by Clarion Associates, heritage tourism in Colorado generated $3.4 billion dollars in expenditures, $1.1 billion in earnings, and nearly 61,000 jobs in 2003 alone. The Commission supports the Key Outcome of Area of Environmental Health through its emphasis on sustainability. Historic preservation has an inherent connection with environmental sustainability. The re- use of historic buildings and greening existing buildings are highly effective tools for environmental stewardship. Many older buildings are remarkably energy efficient because of their site sensitivity, quality of construction, and use of passive heating and cooling, and can go green without compromising historic character. The demolition of older buildings and their features results in a significant hit on scarce resources, by throwing away thousands of dollars of embodied energy. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, even with recycling 40 percent of the materials, it takes approximately 65 years for a new green, energy -efficient office building to recover the energy lost in demolishing a comparable existing building. 3. Regarding the board's annual Work Plan: A. How is the Work Plan aligned with the Key Outcome(s) identified above? The Landmark Preservation Commission's annual Work Plan is closely aligned with the Key Outcome Areas of Community and Neighborhood Livability, Economic Health and Environmental Health. The LPC's 2015 Work Program consists of both continuing responsibilities, as described above, and new projects. For 2015, the Commission has identified these goals to further align its strategic objectives with those of City Council: • A priority of Council and of the Commission is historic property survey. The survey of areas containing a preponderance of older buildings and structures results in proactively identifying individual properties and areas of historic and architectural significance. In 2015, staff will begin a two-year project to survey and document the 15-block Loomis Addition. Staff will also prepare grants seeking funding for additional survey. The Commission's priorities for survey are: o The West Side Neighborhood, including the City Park Neighborhood and properties along Mountain Avenue and Oak Street, all areas facing substantial development and infill pressures; o Properties likely to be affected by development along the MAX/BRT corridor; o Properties in the area surrounding Colorado State University; and Packet Pg. 261 6.c o Commercial and residential properties in the Midtown area and West Central Neighborhoods. • In 2015, the Landmark Preservation Commission will continue to strengthen awareness of, and incentives for, historic preservation. • In 2015, the Commission will maintain the positive and unique character of Fort Collins through historic property survey and landmark designation, and through design review of landmark properties. A goal in 2015 is to set yet a new record for landmark designations, surpassing the 2014 record. • In 2015, the LPC will continue to foster diversity through recognition of the roles that various cultures and ethnic groups have played in our community's history: o. In 2015, the contextual history of the Loomis Addition will be completed, and made available in print and on-line. o Efforts are underway to partner with emerging informational outlets within the community, including blogs and NextDoor, to feature monthly articles on the history of the numerous individual neighborhoods that collectively make up Fort Collins. o In 2015, the Commission and the Historic Preservation Division will provide internships and learning opportunities for graduate -level students studying history and the built environment, continue a 20-year partnership with CSU. • In 2015, the Commission will support Council's goal to enhance the attractiveness of the downtown commercial area and historic neighborhoods, through financial and technical assistance for graffiti removal, using techniques consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards; and by utilizing financial programs to incentivize renovations and upgrades in support of the City's sustainability goals through the revitalization of older buildings. • In 2015, the Commission will continue to allow citizen input on the demolition or alteration of non - designated properties fifty years old or older; process applications for individual and district landmark designation, and provide recommendations on their eligibility to Council; and direct and guide growth in the community through appropriate planning and development review processes. B. How is the Work Plan aligned with the City's Strategic Plan? The LPC's Work Plan is closely aligned with the City's Strategic Plan. The Commission's work directly contributes to the City's goals of successfully meeting numerous Strategic Objectives: Community and Neighborhood Livability: 1.1. Improve access to a broad range of quality housing that is safe, accessible and affordable. An example is the LPC's use of financial incentives to promote the economically feasible and sustainable rehabilitation of the City's older and historic building stock. 1.2. Preserve the significant historical character of the community. The review of alterations and demolitions is an important tool for the preservation of the City's significant historical character. Less recognized, though, is the importance of educating residents on the historical importance of their neighborhood, accomplished through historic contexts and surveys, such as the current Loomis Addition project. 1.3. Direct and guide growth in the community through appropriate planning, annexation, land use and development review processes. In addition to its design review functions, in 2014 Council gave the Commission the duty to review developments affecting historic properties and to provide a recommendation on these development projects to the appropriate decision maker. This change has met with very positive support from the Planning and Zoning Board, staff, developers and neighbors. 1.5. Preserve and enhance the City's sense of place. Examples are the LPC's roles in design and development review, and in its role in Landmark designation. 1.8. Expand organizational and community knowledge about diversity, and embrace cultural differences. Recognizing that diversity and cultural differences are hallmarks of historic scholarship and the basis of a community's individuality, the LPC supports the recognition of all members of the community equally, and celebrates all past events as opportunities for learning. This is demonstrated Packet Pg. 262 6.c through the LPC's preservation of a wide variety of sites, buildings, objects, from the adobe Romero House to the City Park Cannon. 1.11. Maintain and enhance attractive neighborhoods through City services, innovative enforcement and voluntary compliance. In addition to the many financial programs with the goal of creating safe, attractive and stable neighborhoods through rehabilitation of historic buildings, the Commission also provides financial and technical resources for items such as graffiti abatement. Economic Health: 3.1. Align economic health goals and strategy across all levels of the organization and refine and agree upon the economic tools the City uses. The Commission directly supports six different financial programs, making the preservation of historically significant properties economically feasible: The Landmark Rehabilitation Loan Program supports all three legs of the City's triple bottom line. Community sustainability is promoted by enhancing the quality, livability and attractiveness of our neighborhoods; greening existing buildings is an effective tool for environmental stewardship; and financial sustainability is shown by the program's ability to leverage funding at a ratio of nearly 1:4. The Design Assistance Program enhances the compatibility of alterations and new construction occurring in our historic neighborhoods by incentivizing the use of pre -qualified professionals with experience in context -sensitive historic design. Community character and quality commercial and residential districts are enhanced by ensuring compatible alterations and infill development, supported by financial and design incentives. Economic vitality is promoted through leveraging private investment: By combining the various incentives, owners can receive back nearly 70% of their costs for renovation and rehabilitation, leading to further reinvestment and additional disposable income. 3.7. Support sustainable infill and redevelopment to meet climate action strategies. The LPC strongly supports the City's climate action strategies. Examples are the Commission's use of design review and financial programs to incentivize environmentally sustainable rehabilitation efforts, its efforts to promote sustainability through education, including through chapters on sustainable materials, practices, and techniques in the recently adopted design standards and guidelines documents for the Old Town Historic District and for the River District. 3.8. Preserve the City's sense of place. The Commission's primary focus is on the preservation of the historic resources that best reflect our community's history, through landmark designation and the review of alterations and demolitions. As stated by Richard Moe, former director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, "When you strip away the rhetoric, preservation is simply having the good sense to hold on to things that are well designed, that link us with our past in a meaningful way, and that have plenty of good use left in them." 3.9. Provide transparent, predictable and efficient processes for citizens and businesses interacting with the City. The Commission maintains its high standards for professionalism through ongoing training and education, and its adherence to the Certified Local Government standards for member qualifications and conduct. Further, in 2014, the entire Landmark Preservation Chapter in the Municipal Code (Chapter 14) was completely revised, to reflect new processes, procedures and regulation promoting transparency, predictability, and accountability. Additionally, Landmark Preservation Commission meetings are now televised, promoting transparency and an awareness of the Commission's role. Environmental Health: 4.1. Improve and protect wildlife habitat and the ecosystems of the Poudre River and other urban streams. While historic preservation is closely associated with the preservation of the built environment, historic and cultural landscapes are very important historic resources. 4.4. Reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by creating a built environment focused on green building and mobile emissions reductions. The LPC promotes sustainable building practices focusing on the significant environmental benefits of restoration and adaptive reuse, rather than the demolition of Packet Pg. 263 6.c existing buildings. Many older buildings are remarkably energy efficient because of their site sensitivity, quality of construction, and use of passive heating and cooling, and can go green without compromising historic character. 4.6. Engage citizens in ways to educate and change behavior toward more sustainable living practices. In addition to other educational and financial programs emphasizing the twin values of historic preservation and environmental sustainability, the Commission has requested that staff pursue funding to develop guidelines addressing promoting the social, economic and environmental goals of historic preservation in existing construction. C. How is the Work Plan aligned with the Agenda Planning Calendar (Six Month Calendar)? The LPC does not currently have any action items on Council's Agenda Planning Calendar. D. Does the board effectively accomplish its annual Work Plan? The LPC's Work Plan is a combination of goals that are more immediate, and which will be accomplished within the year, and long-range goals often expected to take more time but that the Commission does not want to lose sight of. The Commission is generally very successful in achieving its short-term goals and in making significant progress towards achieving long-term goals. 4. Are board meetings conducted in an effective manner (do the meetings start on time? Are discussions focused around the agenda topic, etc.)? What could be done to improve board meetings? The Landmark Preservation Commission meets twice each month, on the second and third Wednesdays at 5:30 pm. The first monthly meeting is a regular meeting held in City Council chambers, and the second is usually a work session in the CIC room (short hearing items are occasionally scheduled for this second meeting as needed). All meetings start very close to the scheduled time (within a minute or two), and are conducted in a formal manner using Robert's Rules of Order. The regular meetings are televised, and the work sessions recorded. Careful minutes are kept to document all of the discussions and decisions that are made. In recent years, the LPC has worked closely with city staff (the preservation planners, CDNS director, and city attorneys) to enact a number of changes in both processes and procedures. As the LPC has moved to conducting more formal hearings and work sessions, the Commission has become much more effective in its work. Discussions of agenda topics are always to the point. Applicants and presenters are welcomed, listened to attentively, and leave the meetings with clear feedback and decisions. Regular commission training has ensured that the LPC is careful to tie feedback and decisions to applicable codes and standards, rather than to subjective opinions. With the changes made over the past few years, the board has substantially increased its effectiveness as a quasi-judicial decision maker and as an advisory body to Council and staff. 5. Is the current size of the board appropriate? If not, what suggestions would you make? The current size of the board is appropriate. On August 21, 2012, Council adopted Ord. No. 068, 2012, increasing the size of the board from seven to nine, and more specificity to board member's qualifications, ensuring compliance of Landmark Preservation Board member appointments with Certified Local Government Standards. The LPC is made up of a combination of professionals and knowledgeable citizens. The commission currently contains a mix of architect and design professionals, historic preservation professionals, a professional archaeologist, a retired CSU librarian and a Packet Pg. 264 6.c neighborhood preservation advocate. This combination of backgrounds has served the LPC and the City of Fort Collins well, bringing the right combination of interest, experience, fair-mindedness and creative thinking to the task. It is critical to have architects with a background in historic buildings on the commission, to provide expertise in the technicalities of design and construction. The professional historic preservationists provide a careful interpretation of the federal regulations, including the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. It is also important to have other profession and knowledgeable citizens participating in the LPC's work, to offer a broad range of opinions and experience in this complex field. 6. Please describe the effectiveness of the communications between the board and Council. What could be done to improve these communications? The LPC has long had relatively little direct communication with City Council. In recent years, this has primarily taken place informally and infrequently between the commission chair and the council liaison Both entities are busy with their work and too often resort to communicating only rarely, when a controversial issue arises. It would be helpful if the council liaison could meet with the full LPC twice a year, at an LPC work session, just to sit down and discuss how things are going from both perspectives. In addition, it would help if the chair and council liaison could meet an additional two times each year for the same purpose. This would allow the council liaison to have a better understanding of the LPC's work, including challenges faced by the commission, and ensure that the LPC is working to serve the needs of City Council. 7.
