CITY OF FORT COLLINS
Parking Advisory Board
The Parking Advisory Board is pleased to present its 2014 Annual Report to the Mayor and City
Council.
The Mission of the Parking Advisory Board is to help enhance the implementation of the City’s
parking policies and plans by providing a forum for public discussion and input regarding
parking issues; to educate the public about the use and benefits of public parking resources; to
support and advocate for various parking initiatives and programs; and to make
recommendations to City Council regarding major parking decisions.
The Parking Advisory Board met 10 of 12 scheduled monthly meetings during 2014. One
meeting was cancelled and one was held as an informal meeting due to lack of a quorum. The
following topics were addressed:
• Capital Projects Tax Renewal Process, Ginny Sawyer, Policy & Project Manager
• Residential Parking Permit Program, Jamie Moyer, Publicity Marketing Technician
• Funding Sources for New Parking Infrastructure, Mike Beckstead, Chief Financial
Officer
• Transfort Proposed Route Changes, Jerediah Burianek, Service Planner

The board had a joint meeting with the Planning and Zoning Board to discuss parking minimums
in the TOD. This joint meeting was very productive for our new board and following that
meeting, the Parking Advisory Board recommended that Council/City Manager approve the
following items:
• Staff recommendations on Parking Minimums in the TOD. This recommendation
included the possibility of paid on-street parking in the TOD.
• Staff recommendations on TOD Land Use Code Revisions
In November the Parking Advisory Board adopted their 2015 Work Plan after several months of
ongoing discussion. The board decided on two major areas of focus:
1. Develop detailed recommendations regarding the implementation of an on-street pay
parking program in downtown Fort Collins.
2. Evaluate early results from the neighborhood permit parking program and report
these results to the City Council and the community.
The Parking Advisory Board would like to thank and acknowledge City and CSU staff for their
excellent presentations. The Parking Advisory Board looks for to serving the citizens and City
Council in 2015.
