FROM: David Lingle, Chairman
Planning and Zoning Board
DATE: December 1, 2006
SUBJECT: Planning and Zoning Board Work Program- 2007
The Planning and Zoning Board saw an overall reduction in the number of
development applications during the past year. The trend toward more
infill and redevelopment development also continued, along with the
unique issues that often arise with these projects.
In addition to evaluating development proposals, the Board will address
important land use policy and process issues during 2007, including:
Infill and Redevelopment Regulations —Work on fine-tuning
development regulations and processes for inf ill and redevelopment
will continue in 2007, building on efforts of the 2005 REFILL Fort
Collins study and the 2006 Land Use Code amendments. Emphasis
will be on design compatibility standards, alley paving policies, fire
safety requirements, public infrastructure warranty requirements, and
utility connection fee issues.
South College Corridor Plan - A Subarea Plan for the area abutting
South College, south of Harmony Road to Carpenter Road that was
part of the Southwest Enclave Phase I Annexation. The Plan will
address redevelopment issues including, but not limited to, land use,
infrastructure, design, and financing implementation.
• Urban Renewal Plans — Urban Renewal Authority staff will likely be
preparing urban renewal plans for a few specific areas in Fort Collins.
Possible plan areas include: Foothills Mall and East Mulberry.
North College Corridor Plan - An update of the North College Corridor
Plan providing direction on future land use and community character.
• 1-25/392 Interchange Improvement Plan - Action strategies to
implement improvements to the interchange, with particular emphasis
on funding mechanisms.
Major Annexations - Annexation applications for the Fossil Creek
Reservoir and the CSU Foothills Campus are likely to be considered
during 2007.
Mountain Vista Subarea Plan update - Some new land use and
transportation issues have arisen that will need to be addressed in the
Plan update.
