3. Water Adequacy Determination Review Process. (staff: Jenny Axmacher; 15 minute presentation;
45 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide Council with an update on the creation of a water adequacy
determination review process. Staff is seeking input on specific aspects of the process creation,
including the approach for evaluating new water providers, impacts to existing water providers, and
identifying the decision maker for determining water adequacy.
Water is a crucial and constrained resource, and the City strives to ensure that development meets
the community’s vision and expectations for responsible resource management. City Plan includes
policies to ensure water is used wisely and our community is prepared for a changing climate.
Currently, development within the City only occurs within the boundaries of existing City (Fort Collins
Utilities) and Special District water providers, such as Fort Collins-Loveland Water District and East
Larimer County Water District. A project is determined to have an adequate water supply through the
issuance of a “will serve” letter from the established water provider at the time of development plan or
building permit approval.
The necessity for an updated water adequacy review program stems from the limited supply and high
cost of water resources, which have resulted in developers pursuing more creative ways to provide
water to their proposed developments, particularly projects striving to provide affordable housing or
the denser development patterns called for in City Plan. To establish a more comprehensive water
adequacy review process, staff is considering the best practices from other jurisdictions,
authority/review by other agencies, and creating a city review process specifically for new providers.
The water adequacy determination review process for new providers will look at evaluation criteria,
review timing and decision-making authority.
