N) STAFF REPORTS None. O) CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR FOR INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSION 9. Resolution 2022-081 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Intergovernmental Agreement with Larimer County for the Northern Big Game Critical Winter Range Restoration Project at Coyote Ridge and Bobcat Ridge Natural Areas. The purpose of this item is to adopt a resolution supporting the RESTORE Big Game Critical Winter Range Habitat project and the City and Larimer County’s related intergovernmental agreement. The Larimer County Department of Natural Resources was recently awarded $328,900 by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation RESTORE Program. Larimer County is the prime recipient, together with subrecipients Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW), City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department (FCNAD), Boulder County Parks & Open Space, and Jefferson County Open Space. Funds from the award will be used to control and eradicate invasive annual grasses across 4,385 acres of Northern Colorado foothills open spaces to improve critical winter habitat for elk and mule deer. As a partnering agency, FCNAD will receive $58,500 to treat 780 acres across Coyote Ridge and Bobcat Ridge Natural Areas. To share the funding, Larimer County has requested that the City of Fort Collins enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), a draft of which is attached to the Resolution as Exhibit “A”. This item was pulled from the Consent Calendar to allow for discussion. There was no public comment. Councilmember Kelly Ohlson asked the following questions:  Asked about when we are aerial spraying pesticides, expressing concern he didn't see a lot of information about impact on other species, and noted more in depth follow up after the meeting would be appreciated. Page 17 Item 1. City of Fort Collins Page 9 of 17 City Council Proceedings  Also asked whether the item included a recommendation from the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board. Katie Donahue, Natural Areas Director, was available online but had technical difficulties. Follow up will be provided in writing. Mayor Pro Tem Francis moved, seconded by Councilmember Peel, to adopt the resolution. The motion carried 7-0. P) CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS PLANNED FOR DISCUSSION 15. Resolution 2022-094 Adopting an Interim Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal. The purpose of this item is to consider adoption of a Resolution setting an interim target for community greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions between now and the 2030 goal of 80% below 2005 levels. The specific date and reduction target in the Resolution may be determined by City Council during discussion. In support of Council’s discussion regarding the establishment of an additional interim goal between now and 2030, staff have projected the community GHG inventory for 2026. The expected range, based on currently planned projects and known variability factors is between 28% and 48% below 2005 baseline. If a Resolution is adopted, staff recommends choosing 2026 as the target year for an interim goal because it falls halfway between the current year and 2030, allowing for two full City budget cycles before and after the interim goal year. City Manager Kelly DiMartino introduced this item, and turned the presentation over to Utilities Executive Director Kendall Minor. Director Minor provided an overview of the topic. Honore Depew, Climate Program Manager, presented as set forth in the slide deck in the agenda packet. Also available for questions as part of the presentation was John Phelan, Energy Services Manager and Policy Advisor. Public comment: Kevin Cross spoke on behalf of the Fort Collins Sustainability Group. He thanked Council for requesting this item come forward, and thanked staff for their work on this. He expressed support for establishing an interim goal for 2026 rather than 2025, and a goal of at least a 56% reduction in gases by that time. Scott Denny, professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University, spoke in support of this action and its importance. He highlighted what he identified as fairly new climate science that is coming out regarding how the total amount of historic greenhouse gas emissions over time impacts the future climate. Rich Stave, Fort Collins resident, shared his lack of agreement with most of the conclusions presented tonight, with the belief they constitute hypotheses not fact. He expressed concern about awareness of a balanced approach and asked if it is realistic to set goals based on the last two years when there was not the same type of normal activity due to COVID. There being no further comments from the public, Councilmembers began their discussion. Councilmember Kelly Ohlson stated support for an ambitious goal in the neighborhood of 56% for 2026. Page 18 Item 1. City of Fort Collins Page 10 of 17 City Council Proceedings Mayor Arndt asked staff regarding the suggestion for a linear goal. She noted she has not seen a linear chart that reflects linear progress towards these goals, and the variability in the clean transition. The potential loss of hydro power from Lake Mead could impact this as well. John Phelan responded, providing information about the variability of progress for individual adoption of things like electric vehicles somewhat steadily over time, versus a lumpier path for utility related shifts that occur typically in chunks at a time. Mayor Pro Tem Francis asked about the staff recommendation of 20-48%, and what the impact would be to budget and personnel work plans if a 56% goal were adopted. Manager Phelan provided information about the budgetary options that will be presented at the October 11 work session. Mayor Pro Tem expressed her support for interim goals while stating her support for postponing this action until additional data can be provided at the work session to enable a more data driven decision that can be truly impactful. Councilmember Canonico stated support for setting interim goals following the October work session. Councilmember Gutowsky requested clarification on the negative impact of setting a goal before October 11, indicating she views this as a necessary statement of commitment. Manager Depew noted the impacts on what staff would be bringing forward would include weaving that into the pathways to meeting those goals, and that it is a Council decision on the timing. Manager Phelan clarified staff is not at this time prepared to identify the impact on staffing and budget of setting any specific interim goal. Mayor Arndt noted the question could be asked in reverse about the impacts of delaying the adoption of an interim goal, while the Council has made a clear statement of the priority of this topic. The Mayor expressed a preference for delaying the setting of a goal until the activities to obtain a specific goal are more fully scoped. Director Minor expressed staff's support for setting interim goals while acknowledging the advantages of being able to present a roadmap with activities tied to targets in October. In response to questions from Councilmember Ohlson, City Manager DiMartino noted the 2030 goal has already impacted budget recommendations that are being developed. Further interim goals can have additional impact on the timing of additional investments. Mayor Pro Tem Francis noted in her initial service on Council, there had been midyear appropriations that focused on Council priorities, and that a similar process could be used to allocate more dollars at that point towards this goal. Mayor Pro Tem Francis moved, seconded by Councilmember Pignataro, to postpone this item to October 18. Councilmember Pignataro stated her support for this topic, and her excitement to be able to take action on this in October. Mayor Pro Tem Francis also stated her clear support for taking action on interim goals on the October timeline. Mayor Arndt thanked those who have been helping to push this forward and expressed her support for taking action in October. Councilmember Gutowsky expressed thanks for the clarification provided tonight. Page 19 Item 1. City of Fort Collins Page 11 of 17 City Council Proceedings Councilmember Peel noted she will be cautious on actions around climate action due to concerns about the tradeoffs. City Manager DiMartino noted the timing of bringing an item the week immediately following the work session presented challenges. Mayor Arndt offered an amendment to change the date in this item to October 25. The amendment was adopted by unanimous consent. The motion as amended to postpone consideration of the resolution until October 25, 2022, was adopted 6-1. Ayes: Mayor Arndt, Mayor Pro Tem Francis, Councilmember Gutowsky, Councilmember Pignataro, Councilmember Canonico, Councilmember Peel. Nays: Councilmember Ohlson. Following this item, Mayor Pro Tem Francis offered appreciation to Jackie Kozak-Thiel, Sustainability Officer, as this is her final meeting before transitioning to a new role. The meeting was recessed at 7:44 p.m. to allow for set up for the next item. The meeting resumed at 8:01 p.m. 16. Sanctuary on the Green Project Development Plan Appeal. The purpose of this quasi-judicial item is to consider an appeal of the Administrative Hearing Officer’s Decision on May 2, 2022, approving the Sanctuary on the Green Project Development Plan (#PDP210018) located near the northwest corner of N. Taft Hill Road and Laporte Avenue. A Notice of Appeal was filed on May 31, 2022, alleging that the Administrative Hearing Officer considered evidence relevant to their findings which was substantially false or grossly misleading including misrepresentations and mischaracterizations of several items from the Applicant and City staff. The Notice of Appeal further alleges that the Administrative Hearing Officer was biased against the appellant by reason of a conflict of interest or other close business, personal or social relationship that interfered with the Decision Maker’s independence because the application was allowed to go through a Type 1 hearing. The appellant also believes the public hearing structure, which does not allow rebuttal from the public to final statements made by the Applicant or staff, is unfair. Lastly, the Notice of Appeal alleges the Administrative Hearing Officer failed to properly interpret and apply relevant provisions of six sections of the Land Use Code including Section 1.2.2 (Purpose), Section 3.5.1 (Building and Project Compatibility), Section 4.5.D.1 (Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District Density Standard), Section 3.4.7 (Historic and Cultural Resources), Section 3.5.2(D)(1) (Orientation to a Connecting Walkway) and 4.5 (D)(2)(a) (Mix of Housing). Mayor Arndt introduced the item. City Attorney Carrie Daggett introduced Assistant City Attorney Aaron Guin, seated at the staff table with Planning staff, who has been working on this item, and then provided a brief overview of the appeal process. STAFF EXPLANATION AND PRESENTATION Page 20 Item 1. City of Fort Collins Page 12 of 17 City Council Proceedings City Manager Kelly DiMartino introduced Paul Sizemore, Community Development & Neighborhood Services Director, to provide the staff presentation on the item. Director Sizemore presented as set forth in the slide deck in the agenda materials. Also present to assist with the staff presentation and questions was Jenny Axmacher, Senior City Planner. CONFLICTS No Councilmembers disclosed any conflict of interest issues or other reasons for recusal. SITE VISIT OBSERVATIONS Mayor Arndt noted an organized site visit was conducted on Monday, August 15, 2022, and invited Councilmembers who participated in that site inspection or who otherwise individually visited the site to view it to share relevant observations. Councilmember Gutowsky shared her objective in attending the site visit was to get a sense of the physical space. Councilmember Ohlson also shared about his experience at the site visit to gain a sense of the physical space. Councilmember Peel noted she missed the formal site visit, but did go to the site today to get a sense of the site. Mayor Arndt shared she lives very nearby, attended high school at the school across the street, and is familiar with the property. PARTIES PRESENT Mayor Arndt asked the appellant and the property owner as well as any parties in interest to identify themselves. Laura Larson, resident of a property immediately abutting the subject property, identified herself as the designated spokesperson for the Sanctuary Field Neighborhood Network who would be speaking for the appellant. Carolynne White introduced herself as the attorney representing the property owner and project applicant as their land use counsel and indicated she would be speaking for the property owner in opposition to the appeal. TIME ALLOCATIONS Mayor Arndt announced the allocation of time for all parties to include:  A total of 30 minutes for the Appellant for its presentation.  A total of 30 minutes for the property owner in its presentation.  A total of 15 minutes rebuttal for the Appellant.  A total of 15 minutes for rebuttal by the property owner. PROCEDURAL ISSUES In response to the request of the Mayor to identify procedural issues, attorney for the applicant, Carolynne White, came forward. She requested expansion of the time allotted to 45 minutes given the breadth of issues at hand. She also noted the letter submitted by the applicant has been Page 21 Item 1. City of Fort Collins Page 13 of 17 City Council Proceedings considered by the City Attorney's Office to include new evidence in pa rt. It is the applicant's contention the information contained in the letter was previously presented as part of the original hearing, although there is a portion in the letter that refers to a staff report from June that contains identical information to a report from January that had been referenced by the applicant at the May hearing. Comments from Council regarding these procedural issues included consensus for the 30 minute time limits and to accept the letter while striking the provisions that were identified as potentially constituting new evidence. Mayor Arndt ruled to maintain the time limits as they were set forth, and to accept the letter minus the provisions in question. On behalf of the appellants, Laura Larson objected to the submission of the letter by the applicants on the basis they were not afforded the same opportunity to provide additional materials under information it was asserted was provided to them by the City Clerk's Office. Following discussion by Council and reconsideration, Mayor Arndt ruled the letter would not be accepted. APPELLANT PRESENTATION The appellant was invited to make their presentation, with a time limit of 30 minutes. On behalf of the group appealing the matter, Laura Larson presented as set forth in the slide deck submitted into the public record outlining the basis of the appeal. PROPERTY OWNER PRESENTATION At the onset of the presentation, Attorney Carolynne White registered for the record objections regarding the letter being stricken as well as the inclusion of new evidence in the presentation provided by the appellants, including new graphics. Attorney White then presented as set forth in the slide deck entered into the public record in opposition to the appeal. APPELLANT REBUTTAL Laura Larson provided the rebuttal. Areas addressed included:  Disagreement with proposed density step downs and which properties are being chosen to be included for comparisons, such as Ramblewood Apartments as a comparable property while ignoring nearby farms.  Asserted misrepresentations were included in the applicant's presentations.  Reiterated concern with the lack of consideration for public input and engagement in the creation of subarea plans that are not being respected by this project.  Disagreed with depiction of the hearing officer agreeing the project meets small area plans, as in his final statements he said it was unclear to him whether the project conforms to the plans. PROPERTY OWNER REBUTTAL Carolynne White provided the rebuttal on behalf of the property owner.  Shared the developer has continued coming back to the table for 15 years, and has greatly reduced the overall density of the project. It cannot be a requirement to continue iterating the project until it meets the approval of the adjacent neighbors.  Indicated this project does meet the parameters of the Northwest Subarea Plan, and does not disregard it. Page 22 Item 1. City of Fort Collins Page 14 of 17 City Council Proceedings QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL Councilmember Ohlson asked what determines the type of hearing that is held on an item. Director Sizemore clarified this is based on the requirements in the Land Use Code, driven by the types of properties proposed to be constructed. He also asked about whether it is accurate the public is not allowed a rebuttal in front of the hearing officer. Planner Axmacher confirmed that is accurate under the provisions of the Land Use Code. Wes LaMarque with Utilities provided details about plans for a regional stormwater management facility in answer to a question from Councilmember Ohlson regarding stormwater management. He also provided information on how this facility in funded through permit fees across the city. In response to a request for more detail about lighting code requirements, Planner Axmacher clarified there is a condition in the approval requiring compliance with these standards. Asked why there is not a requirement to preserve existing large cottonwood trees. City Forester Kendra Boot responded with details regarding why some of the existing large trees cannot be preserved, including the proposed grading of the site. Forester Boot indicated the applicant was required to obtain an assessment of some of the trees, which resulted in findings of limited structural integrity. Councilmember Julie Pignataro asked if doing comparables is like finding comps for a home when selling. Planner Axmacher responded it is more of an art than a science in terms of what is included, although there is some guidance provided in the Code. Councilmember Peel asked whether minutes of neighborhood meetings were included in the packet. Planner Axmacher noted that was included as attachment 27 to the staff report. Councilmember Canonico requested more insight into how the Land Use Code and plans for the area work together. Director Sizemore provided information about how a comprehensive planning effort is undertaken in an area. In the Northwest Subarea Plan, there is identification of the types of zone districts that would align with what the neighborhood would like to see. The planning documents provide a vision for the area, but the Land Use Code provides the regulatory framework. Councilmember Gutowsky asked for more information about concerns with stormwater management in the area, particularly given it is identified as being in a floodplain. Planner Axmacher noted the floodplain issue must be addressed for the applicant to move forward. Ted Bender with City Stormwater also responded with information about how the applicant has hired an engineering firm to review these elements, and is providing these findings to the City for review as well. It has been made clear to the applicant they must meet the standards of the City in this realm. One stipulation of any approval would be that there are no increases in the floodplain elevations. Councilmember Gutowsky asked the appellant how many of the homes in the area have basements. Laura Larson indicated no homes in the area have basements due to water table levels. Asked who made the determination about whether the homes qualified as historic, Director Sizemore indicated Historic Preservation made those determinations. Historic Preservation Manager Maren Bzdek provided an overview of the preliminary review of the historic resources performed. Page 23 Item 1. City of Fort Collins Page 15 of 17 City Council Proceedings Mayor Arndt asked for clarification on the next steps for the applicant if the appeal were to fail. Planner Axmacher indicated if this moves forward, the next step is the final development plan (FDP) which would include additional reviews of several aspects. The FDP must be approved before any building permits can be applied for and granted. Councilmember Gutowsky stated her belief this project is not compatible with the surrounding area. She also asked about traffic and where the egresses are located for this development. Planner Axmacher noted there is a new connection proposed on Taft Hill Road near the northeast corner of the development as well as one in the southwest corner of the site onto Laporte. Councilmember Pignataro asked about any plans to update the Northwest Subarea Plan, noting it was completed in 2006. Planner Axmacher noted it is one of the City's older plans and there is a current budget offer in proposing to update the plan. The hearing was closed at 10:30 p.m. COUNCIL DISCUSSION Councilmember Pignataro thanked everyone for coming out and for all the work that has gone into this process. She indicated she tends to avoid site visits but is very familiar with the area. She stated her biggest questions are around the comparables, while noting there is not cohesiveness in this area. She stated she did not see any issues with the actions of the hearing officer. Councilmember Peel noted she understands when country meets city, and the desire to preserve a country atmosphere. She stated the decision at hand, however, is whether the process was followed appropriately and not opinions on the project. She stated her belief the hearing officer followed the intent of the subarea plan. Councilmember Canonico shared her empathy with the homeowners in this area with concerns for the development around them, but that she has concluded the hearing was conducted in a fair manner. Councilmember Ohlson stated he does believe it was a fair hearing. He indicated he was involved in the Northwest Subarea Plan, which clearly indicated a desire to keep things in the area as they are as much as possible. He shared his desire to stop doing t hese subarea plans because they are often not respected. He expressed appreciation to the applicant for respecting the buffers. He also indicated he does not see the Ramblewood Apartments as a reasonable comparable and noted disappointment in the trees that will be lost. He offered a suggestion for utilizing some of these trees that must be taken down somewhere else in the development. He expressed his belief the scale and mass is out of whack. Mayor Arndt indicated she thought the hearing officer considered relevant evidence and conducted a fair hearing. She also stated the Land Use Code takes precedence and therefore she will not find in support the appeal. Mayor Pro Tem Francis stated her finding the Land Use Code is the regulatory framework that must be followed in evaluating the project. Councilmember Gutowsky stated she did not feel it was a fair hearing given the hearing officer's inexperience in knowledge of this area. She stated a desire to see more resources available for the appellants in appeals to provide assistance in the process. She stated her support for the appeal. Page 24 Item 1. City of Fort Collins Page 16 of 17 City Council Proceedings Mayor Pro Tem Francis moved, seconded by Councilmember Canonico, that the Council find that the Hearing Officer conducted a fair hearing in their consideration of the Project Development Plan for Sanctuary on the Green (PDP210018) and that the Hearing Officer:  Did not consider evidence relevant to their decision that was substantially false or grossly misleading; and  Was not biased against the Appellant by reason of a conflict of interest or other close business, personal or social relationship that interfered with the Hearing Officer’s independence of judgment. The motion carried 6-1. Ayes: Mayor Arndt, Mayor Pro Tem Francis, Councilmember Pignataro, Councilmember Canonico, Councilmember Peel, Councilmember Ohlson. Nays: Councilmember Gutowsky. Mayor Pro Tem Francis moved, seconded by Councilmember Pignataro, that the Council find that the Hearing Officer properly interpreted and applied relevant provisions of the Land Use Code in their consideration of the Project Development Plan for Sanctuary on the Green (PDP210018) and properly found that the following criteria set forth therein were met because the PDP and requested modifications of standards: a) The PDP and requested modifications of standards satisfies the intent and purpose of Section 1.2.2 (A), (E), (I), (M), and (N) and the recommendations made by the Northwest Subarea Plan. b) The PDP is compatible with historic resources located within the Area of Adjacency. c) This PDP meets the standards for building and project compatibility in accordance with Section 3.5.1. d) This PDP satisfies the maximum density standards for new development in the Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District and the Northwest Subarea Plan. e) The Applicant met applicable criteria for the approval of a modification of standard for mix of housing under Section 4.5(D)(2)(a)(3). f) The Applicant met applicable criteria for the approval of a modification of standard for orientation to a connecting walkway under Section 3.5.2(D)(1). and further moved that the Council deny the appeal in its entirety. The motion carried 5-2. Ayes: Mayor Arndt, Mayor Pro Tem Francis, Councilmember Pignataro, Councilmember Canonico, Councilmember Peel. Nays: Councilmember Gutowsky, Councilmember Ohlson. Q) OTHER BUSINESS A. Possible consideration of the initiation of new ordinances and/or resolutions by Councilmembers. (Three or more individual Councilmembers may direct the City Manager and City Attorney to initiate and move forward with development and preparation of resolutions and ordinances not originating from the Council's Policy Agenda or initiated by staff.) Councilmember Pignataro brought up the topic of bus advertising and a desire for a policy discussion on this program. She requested that this be added to the work session for September 6. There was consensus to make this scheduling addition. Page 25 Item 1. City of Fort Collins Page 17 of 17 City Council Proceedings R) ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 10:52 p.m. ______________________________ Mayor ATTEST: ________________________________ City Clerk Page 26 Item 1. City Council Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 1 of 2 September 6, 2022 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY City Council STAFF Keith Hanson, Real Estate Manager Ingrid Decker, Senior Assistant City Attorney SUBJECT Second Reading of Ordinance No. 090, 2022, Authorizing the Conveyance of an Emergency Access Easement to Poudre Fire Authority on City-owned Real Property Located at 430 N. College Avenue. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 16, 2022, authorizes the conveyance of an Emergency Access Easement (EAE) to Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) on City-owned real property located at 430 N. College Avenue. The City leases this property, which is the location of the Powerhouse Energy Campus, to the Colorado State University Research Foundation (CSURF). CSURF has submitted plans to the City to make improvements to the property to support a hydrogen fueling station and turbine generator. As a condition of approval, the City, as property owner, is required to convey an EAE to PFA to support fire truck and emergency equipment access, which is a common requirement for new development and improvements on certain properties. Conveyance of the EAE is the final action needed for the City’s Planning, Development, and Transportation Department to approve the project and issue construction permits as CSURF has met all other lease and development review requirements. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION CSURF has leased the property from the City since 1994 for its Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory, and for instructional and research purposes focused on developing innovative and alternative energy solutions. The current lease, executed in 2012, is for a term of 40 years with a 20-year option. Since the 2012 lease was executed, CSURF has improved the property with the construction of a new facility, which will revert to City ownership upon the expiration of the lease. CSURF is responsible for all operations, maintenance, and repair at the property throughout the term of the lease in exchange for rent of $25 per year. CSURF has submitted construction plans to the City for improvements to support a hydrogen fueling station and turbine generator at the property. As part of the City’s development review process, PFA is one of the agencies that must review the plans for regulatory compliance. Fire truck access is required to be within 150 feet of all exterior portions of the structures. Since the location of the new structures is more than 150 feet from any current access point, an EAE for a fire lane will be necessary. Any fire lane greater than 150 feet requires a turn-around area (hammerhead). An existing driveway on the property was selected for the emergency access path. The driveway meets Page 27 Item 2. City Council Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 2 PFA’s requirements for a minimum of 20 feet of unobstructed width; a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface capable of supporting 40 tons; and an approved fire truck hammerhead. CSURF provided a geotechnical report demonstrating the ability of the driveway to support 40 tons, as well as a fire truck turning analysis for a hammerhead at the end of the driveway.

ORDINANCE NO. 090, 2022 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS AUTHORIZING THE CONVEYANCE OF AN EMERGENCY ACCESS EASEMENT TO POUDRE FIRE AUTHORITY ON CITY-OWNED PROPERTY AT 430 NORTH COLLEGE AVENUE WHEREAS, the City is the owner of real property located at 430 North College Avenue, which is the site of the Old Power Plant (the “Property”); and WHEREAS, the Property is owned by the City’s electric utility but is no longer needed, except incidentally, for utility purposes; and WHEREAS, since February 2012 the City has leased the Property to the Colorado State University Research Foundation (“CSURF”) for use as the Colorado State University (“CSU”) Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory (the “Engines Lab”), also known as the Powerhouse Energy Campus, pursuant to Ordinance No. 183, 2011; and WHEREAS, prior to 2012, CSU had leased a portion of the Property for the Engines Lab since 1994; and WHEREAS, CSURF has submitted plans to the City to make improvements to the Property to support a hydrogen fueling station and turbine generator; and WHEREAS, as a condition of approval of CSURF’s plans, the City, as property owner, must convey an emergency access easement to Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) to provide access for fire trucks and other emergency equipment (the “Easement”); and WHEREAS, the location of the proposed Easement, which is over an existing driveway, is shown and described on Exhibit “A”, attached and incorporated herein by reference; and WHEREAS, Section 23-111 of the City Code authorizes the City Council to sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any interest in real property owned by the City, provided that the City Council first finds, by ordinance, that such sale or other disposition is in the best interests of the City and, with respect to property which is part of the City’s utility systems, that the disposition will not materially impair the viability of the particular utility system as a whole and will be for the benefit of the citizens of the City; and WHEREAS, as consideration for the City’s conveyance of the Easement CSURF has agreed to pay the City an administrative fee of $500 and assume responsibility for maintaining the surface of the Easement; and WHEREAS, City staff is recommending that the City not charge CSURF or PFA full fair market value for the Easement as the conveyance serves a bona fide public purpose under Section 23-114 of the City Code because: Page 29 Item 2. (1) The use of the Easement for emergency access by PFA, and CSURF’s continued use of the Property for research and development of alternate energy solutions, promotes health, safety or general welfare and benefits a significant segment of the citizens of Fort Collins; (2) The use to which the Property will be put supports one or more of the City Council's goals, adopted policies, projects or plans by continuing the support the City Council has previously shown for the Engines Lab through the minimal rent ($25 per year) the City charges CSURF under the 2012 lease; (3) The financial support provided by the City through the below-market conveyance of the Easement will be leveraged with other funding or assistance from CSURF; (4) Conveyance of the Easement will not result in any direct financial benefit to any private person or entity, except to the extent such benefit is only an incidental consequence and is not substantial relative to the public purpose being served; and (5) Conveying the Easement for less than fair market value will not interfere with current City projects or work programs, hinder workload schedules or divert resources needed for primary City functions or responsibilities. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS as follows: Section 1. That the City Council hereby makes and adopts the determinations and findings contained in the recitals set forth above. Section 2. That the City Council hereby finds that the City’s conveyance of the Easement to PFA as described herein is in the best interests of the City, will not impair the viability of the electric utility system as a whole, and will be for the benefit of the citizens of the City. Section 3. That the City Council hereby authorizes the Mayor to execute such documents as are necessary to convey the Easement to PFA on terms and conditions consistent with this Ordinance, together with such terms and conditions as the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney, determines are necessary or appropriate to protect the interests of the City, including, but not limited to, any necessary changes to the legal description of the Easement, as long as such changes do not materially increase the size or change the character of the interest to be conveyed.

City Council Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 1 of 1 September 6, 2022 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY City Council STAFF Keith Hanson, Real Estate Manager Mike Calhoon, Director of Parks Ryan Malarky, Legal SUBJECT Second Reading of Ordinance No. 091, 2022, Authorizing the Execution of a First Amendment to Lease with New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC of City-Owned Property at City Park Ballfields. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 16, 2022, authorizes the City Manager to execute an amendment extending the existing New Cingular cell site lease at the ball fields at City Park. The amendment would extend the end of the current lease terms from March 8, 2023, to October 20, 2023, and allow an additional 5-year term from October 21, 2023, to October 20, 2028. New Cingular has leased the site from the City since 2005. Annual rent received by the City will increase from $20,736 to $24,000 for the first year of the 5-year term with 3% increases every year afterwards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION New Cingular has leased its cell site at the ball fields at City Park since 2005, when the original COLORADO OPTION AND STRUCTURE LEASE AGREEMENT was executed. New Cingular’s cell equipment is situated atop a City-owned light pole that serves the ball fields. Staff has negotiated an amendment to extend the lease for another 5-year term, and annual rent will increase from $20,736 to $24,000 for the first year of the 5-year term with yearly 3% increases for the remaining term. The rent is within the range of fair market cell site lease rates for similar locations and set-ups without a dedicated cellular equipment tower. New Cingular will continue to be responsible for all costs associated with the cell site equipment, including maintenance and utilities. There is no cost to the City. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS The City would receive $127,419 in rent over the full 5-year term and not incur any expense. ATTACHMENTS 1. Ordinance for Consideration Page 33 Item 3.

Daggett, Legal SUBJECT Second Reading of Ordinance No. 092, 2022, Dissolving the Parking Advisory Board and Amending the Code of the City of Fort Collins by Repealing Section 2-110 Relating to the Parking Advisory Board. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 16, 2022, dissolves the Parking Advisory Board. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Over the past several years, the Parking Advisory Board has had difficulty achieving a quorum and generating agenda topics. Following discussions between the Council liaison, staff liaison, and the City Clerk’s office, it was agreed that any topics that may come up regarding parking could be absorbed into the existing Transportation Board’s scope of work. This topic was addressed in the Work Session on Boards and Commission earlier this year and received general support from Councilmembers.

City Council Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 1 of 2 September 6, 2022 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY City Council STAFF Jason Komes, Senior Environmental Specialist Judy Schmidt, Legal SUBJECT Second Reading of Ordinance No. 093, 2022, Making Supplemental Appropriations in the General Fund for the Environmental Services Air Quality Program from the US Environmental Protection Agency Grant. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 16, 2022, appropriates unanticipated grant revenue in the General Fund for the Environmental Services Air Quality Program. This grant directly supports Council Priority #17, Improved Air Quality, and includes $108,200 of grant funding provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and associated with the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to support local monitoring of National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) pollutants in and near communities with environmental justice concerns who face disproportionate exposure to these pollutants and health risks and are also associated with increased vulnerability to COVID-19. The Ordinance has been revised to include a reference to the City Manager’s authority to approve/sign an intergovernmental agreement with the EPA for the funding. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The City has been awarded a grant from the EPA (“Grant”) in the amount of $108,200 for the purchase of new air quality monitoring equipment (ozone and NOx analyzers) and related supplies (including calibration equipment, meteorological tower and sensors) (collectively, “New Equipment”). The Grant requires the City to procure the New Equipment in accordance with the terms of the grant and the ARPA, and funds that purchase at 100% (no local matching funds required). Although not specified by the Grant, the City plans to install the New Equipment in a new criteria pollutant monitoring site (“New Site”) to supplement the two existing regulatory ozone monitors already in the City. The New Site will be constructed by the City, utilizing funds already appropriated for the Air Quality Monitoring Program. Construction will include a shelter, data connections and installation of the New Equipment. Currently, the City does not have an oxides of nitrogen (NOX) monitor and a downtown ozone monitor is believed to underestimate ozone concentrations due to proximity to roadways and NO X titration. A 2017 evaluation of the regulatory network conducted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Page 42 Item 5. City Council Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 2 recommended regulatory ozone monitoring on the eastern side of town to ensure that population exposure is not underestimated. The location of the New Site has not yet been determined but will likely be on the eastern side of the City. Staff intends to work with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Air Pollution Control Division (the “State”) to create an agreement under which the State will operate, maintain, and collect the data produced by the New Site, as they do for other such sites in the City and County. The Grant is an Intergovernmental Agreement that may be approved by the City Manager under City Code Section 1-22. Any future IGA with the State will be approved as required under City Code Section 1-22. The New Site will provide better regional information, including information for Environmental Justice (EJ) communities, regarding ozone exposure. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS City resources in the General Fund would increase by $108,200. No match is required; however, construction of the New Site will be funded by an appropriation made available under the 2022 enhancements to the City’s Air Quality monitoring budget (BFO Offer 48.15). PUBLIC OUTREACH While no formal outreach has been conducted prior to receipt of these funds, monitored data will be used to support community awareness of air quality issues. ATTACHMENTS 1.

City Council Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 1 of 4 September 6, 2022 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY City Council STAFF Mariel Miller, Water Conservation Manager Paul Sizemore, Community Development & Neighborhood Services Director Eric Potyondy, Assistant City Attorney Marcus Coldiron, Chief Building Official SUBJECT Second Reading of Ordinance No. 094, 2022, Adopting a Graywater Ordinance, to Allow Voluntary Graywater System Installations. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 16, 2022, adopts an ordinance to allow graywater systems to be installed in the City. The proposed graywater ordinance would enact a voluntary program for graywater use for toilet flushing in Fort Collins Utilities’ water and wastewater service areas, as well as the service areas of consenting water and wastewater districts in the Growth Management Area (GMA). The proposed graywater ordinance would be consistent with State regulatory requirements and local water right limitations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Development of a graywater ordinance is a Council Priority for 2021-2023. Staff presented information to the Council at a November 23, 2021, work session, where Council indicated a desire for staff to develop an enabling ordinance, which meets the State’s Water Quality Regulation 86 (graywater standards) and is in accordance with local water rights. Staff provided two updates to Council, dated April 11 and June 27, 2022, in the form of a memo in their Thursday Council Packet. If adopted by Council, the proposed graywater ordinance would enact the following:  The ability for those who elect to install a graywater system to do so (the proposed ordinance does not require graywater systems).  An ordinance that meets Colorado’s requirements and is not more restrictive than the State Regulation 86’s minimum standards.  Enabling water from bathroom and laundry sinks, clothes washers, baths, and/or showers to be used for toilet flushing only, which aligns with local water right limitations.  Design criteria and standards to protect public health and the environment and a permitting and inspection process administered by City Building Services. Page 46 Item 6. City Council Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 4  Graywater use within Fort Collins Utilities’ water and wastewater service areas, with the possibility of graywater use extending into other water and wastewater service providers’ service areas within city limits, depending on consent by other service providers within city limits (Boxelder Sanitation District, East Larimer County Water District, Fort Collins-Loveland Water District, South Fort Collins Sanitation District, and West Fort Collins Water District).  Graywater use in single-family and multi-family residential and commercial developments (both new and redevelopment properties). Strategic Alignment: Graywater is aligned to a variety of plans and strategic objectives that touch many areas across the organization, community and state. These include, but are not limited to:  City Strategic Plan (2020)  Utilities Strategic Plan (2021)  City Plan (2019)  Municipal Sustainability and Adaptation Plan (2019)  Our Climate Future (2021)  Water Efficiency Plan (2015)  Water Supply and Demand Management Plan (2012)  Housing Strategic Plan (2021)  Colorado Water Plan (2015) Coordinating with local water and sanitation districts: Staff met with all water and wastewater service providers that serve areas within the Fort Collins growth management area (GMA). As a best practice, staff provided them each with a preliminary discussion draft graywater ordinance (“draft ordinance”) and draft memorandum of understanding (MOU), which document the districts’ acknowledgement and agreement to graywater system installation in their service areas. The process to execute these agreements is as follows:  City Manager to sign each agreement, as it is approved and signed by each district.  In accordance with language in the draft ordinance, as MOUs are signed, a city map will be updated to reflect the current area where graywater is allowed. This gives flexibility to expand the area as we work to get agreements from districts. MOUs can be executed at any time – before or after the ordinance is effective – allowing the boundary to be expanded without an ordinance amendment. To date, the status of each district is as follows:  East Larimer County Water District has signed the MOU, agreeing to graywater system installation within their service area.  Boxelder Sanitation District has expressed willingness to sign an agreement and staff is preparing the final MOU.  West Fort Collins Water District’s Board declined to sign at this time, but would be willing to reconsider if the financial benefits improved in the future.  Fort Collins Loveland Water and South Fort Collins Sanitation Districts are in the process of sharing documentation with their respective boards. State Regulation 86: State Regulation 86 is Colorado’s graywater control regulation, promulgated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Water Quality Control Commission. It includes numerous definitions and requirements for local graywater programs such as the draft ordinance before Council. These include:  Identifying the type of graywater uses allowed.  Defining boundaries where graywater use is allowed.  Systems to track where graywater is used.  Graywater design criteria guideline document. Page 47 Item 6. City Council Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 3 of 4  Approval of graywater installations and inspections.  Enforcement terms.  Terms regarding operations and maintenance manuals and operators. Extended effective date: Staff communicated in a memo to Council dated June 27, 2022, the need to propose an effective ordinance date of November 1, 2022, to provide high quality service to future graywater permit applicants. This extended effective date will allow staff to complete the following:  Development of a design criteria guideline document (State Regulation 86 requirement).  Development of permit requirements, fees and process (State Regulation 86 requirement).  Development of inspection fees and process (State Regulation 86 requirement).  System to maintain current permit holder/graywater owner and maintenance information (State Regulation 86 requirement).  Staff training on graywater permit review and inspections.  Public education, communications, etc. on graywater systems and the requirements. Next steps, following adoption of the Ordinance:  Short term: o Complete the remaining supporting documents, systems and processes required for City Building Services to administer the graywater ordinance and train applicable staff on permit review and inspection, by the proposed effective date of November 1, 2022. o Continue to attend the State’s monthly Regulation 86 stakeholder meetings, as the State plans to update its regulations in 2023. o Continue to work with the local water and wastewater districts to determine the legal boundary for graywater, by executing MOUs with each district as they provide approvals for graywater systems in their service areas. o Develop and promote public education and communications on graywater systems and the requirements.  Long term (2023-2025): o Update the City’s graywater ordinance with any changes resulting from the State Regulation 86 updates. o Consider pilot program funding and incentive development. BOARD / COMMISSION / COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Three City Boards and Commissions were engaged in April 2022. All but the Water Commission recommended that the Council approve a local graywater ordinance. ● Natural Resource Advisory Board (NRAB) memo dated June 17, 2022 ● Building Review Commission April 28, 2022, meeting minutes ● Water Commission Memo dated June 16, 2022 CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS There are no financial impacts to the City. Permits fees will be paid by applicants and are based on project valuation, consistent with other building permit fees. These fees are estimated to cover staff time for plan review and inspection for graywater systems. PUBLIC OUTREACH Staff conducted a variety of outreach and research efforts prior to the Council Work Session in November 2021. Following direction by Council in November, further outreach and communication efforts were pursued between April -June 2022. Reoccurring themes were expressed in several Page 48 Item 6. City Council Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 4 of 4 engagement efforts. The input staff received can be summarized by the two following sentiments regarding the creation of an enabling ordinance for graywater: 1) The City should not be pursuing this ordinance or should only pursue it with the development of incentives to reduce the cost to customers. Given State Regulation 86 requirements and the limitation resulting from water right constraints, that limits graywater use for toilet flushing only, it is too costly to develop graywater systems without financial assistance or some other incentive. 2) The City should adopt an enabling ordinance because it allows those who want graywater to develop it. It is the first step in what could be the development of future pilot programs and incentives, and the burgeoning graywater industry in Colorado. State regulations could change in the future, making graywater systems more desirable and we should be prepared to take advantage of more sustainable water uses when they become available. When preparing for the November 2021 Council Work Session and prior to 2022, staff conducted the following preliminary engagement and research efforts:  Presented at a Key Accounts Lunch and Learn (October 6, 2021), and to Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce members (December 13, 2021).  Interviewed graywater system manufactures, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment staff, and other water provider and land use authority staff who have developed and are implementing existing graywater programs. Following Council direction in November 2021, during Q1 and Q2 of 2022, staff provided the following public information and engagement activities:  Created the following communication pieces to advertise Our City forum and the June 16, 2022, presentation with the public: o Emailed three e-newsletters to building industry-related contractors, developers and trades – sent in April 15 (emailed to 445), June 2 (emailed to 3,687) and July 1, 2022 (emailed to 3,332). o Invited 770 Utilities customer contacts, non-profits and other stakeholders to the public information session – sent June 2, 2022. o Mailed Utility bill inserts that reach about 49,000 Utilities customers – June 2022.  Created an Our City forum to inform the public and collect and respond to feedback (staff received and responded to three posts between April and July, which can be viewed here: ourcity.fcgov.com/graywater).  Discussed graywater and shared the draft MOU with Fort Collins-Loveland Water District, West Fort Collins Water District, East Larimer County Water District, Boxelder Sanitation District and South Fort Collins Sanitation District.  Presented to City Boards and Commissions and requested recommendation to Council from: o Natural Resource Advisory Board – April 20, 2022 o Building Review Commission – April 28, 2022  Water Commission – April 21, 2022 and Mayor’s response letter  Presented to Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce – May 20, 2022  Presented to stakeholders (open to the public – 56 pre-registered for meeting, 24 attended) – June 16, 2022  Coordinated with Larimer County to discuss alignment with the County’s draft graywater ordinance and how to address properties within the Fort Collins GMA, which could be annexed in the future.  Met with Colorado State University’s Dr. Sybil Sharvelle to discuss the future potential of graywater.

September 6, 2022 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY City Council STAFF Nina Bodenhamer, City Give Director John Duval, Legal SUBJECT First Reading of Ordinance No. 095, 2022, Appropriating Philanthropic Revenue Received by City Give for the 2022 Parks Independence Day Celebration and the 2022 Community Development and Neighborhood Services Urban Design Awards. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to appropriate philanthropic revenue designated for the 2022 Independence Day Celebration and for the 2022 Community Development and Neighborhood Services Urban Design Awards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The purpose of this item is to appropriate $27,500 in philanthropic revenue received from Elevations Credit Union. The award is designated by the donor as $20,000 for sponsorship of the 2022 Independence Day Celebration and $7,500 for sponsorship of the 2022 Community Development and Neighborhood Services Urban Design Awards. A sponsorship, also referred to as “underwriting,” is both a community partnership and charitable award. Local businesses sponsor events to invest in community engagement and expand the reach of both organization’s valuable audiences. Per IRS code, businesses can declare portions of a sponsorship as charitable giving. Therefore, the City’s fiduciary responsibility is to steward, track, and report sponsorships as philanthropic revenue. Each year, the City enters into various sponsorships across departments for events ranging from Kids in the Park to performances at The Lincoln Center, from Open Streets to Treatsylvania. Community partnerships and event sponsorships such as support from Elevations Credit Union significantly enhances the City of Fort Collins’ service to the community and our residents. Page 58 Item 7. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS This Ordinance will appropriate $20,000 in philanthropic revenue received by City Give in the General Fund for the Parks Department and $7,500 for Community Development and Neighborhood Services in the General Fund. The funds have been received and accepted per City Give Administrative and Financial Policy. The City Manager has also determined that these appropriations are available and previously unappropriated from the General Fund and will not cause the total amount appropriated in the General Fund to exceed the current estimate of actual and anticipated revenues and all other funds to be received in the General Fund during fiscal year 2022.

City Council Agenda – City of Fort Collins Page 1 of 3 September 6, 2022 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY City Council STAFF Sophie Buckingham – Civil Engineer I Brad Yatabe, Legal SUBJECT First Reading of Ordinance No. 096, 2022, Conditionally Vacating a Portion of Coleman Street Right- of-Way. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to approve the conditional vacation of a portion of Coleman Street right-of-way that is no longer desirable or necessary to retain for street purposes. The right-of-way area, once vacated, will be retained in its entirety as a public utility and public access easement to the City. The right -of-way vacation will be conditional upon the demolition of the existing street stub of Coleman Street and the reconstruction of the vacated area as a landscape and pedestrian area. These conditions are outlined in detail in the Ordinance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION This portion of Coleman Street right-of-way is no longer desirable or necessary to retain for street purposes because Coleman Street will not be continued eastward by the proposed Bloom Filing One development, which is anticipated to be approved in Fall 2022. The right-of-way for the existing street stub of Coleman Street must be vacated for the Bloom Filing One development plans to be in compliance with Section 3.6.3(F) of the Land Use Code. Staff from Planning, Development, and Transportation have determined that vehicular connectivity and circulation will be adequate without the continuation of Coleman Street into the Bloom development, since the following streets will be continued east into the Bloom development: Barnstormer Street, Conquest Street, Sykes Drive, Comet Street, and Crusader Street. Figure 1 shows an area map of the existing street network. After Council’s conditional approval of this Ordinance and the City’s approval of Bloom Filing One, the Bloom developer will demolish the existing street stub and install a landscape area and pedestrian connection from the East Ridge neighborhood into the future Bloom neighborhood. Figure 2 shows the existing street stub. Once the street stub has been demolished and the pedestrian connection has been installed, the right-of-way vacation will take effect upon recording of the Ordinance with the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder. The entire area of vacated right -of-way will be retained as a public utility and public access easement to the City. The City Engineer and the Planning, Development, and Transportation Director recommend approval of this conditional right-of-way vacation. Page 62 Item 8. City Council Agenda – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 3 For a vacation of right-of-way to be completed, the approved ordinance must first be recorded with Larimer County. To ensure that the vacated area is properly improved and maintained, staff recommends that the following conditions, as further detailed in the Ordinance, be satisfied prior to recording:  East Ridge Second Filing – ROW Minor Amendment, MA220027, setting forth the proposed street stub demolition and landscape area construction must receive City approval.  The Bloom Filing One developer will provide the City with a bond for 125% of the estimated cost to restore the existing street improvements, should the Ordinance become null and void after the existing street stub has been demolished.  The Bloom Filing One developer will demolish the existing street stub.  Mulberry Metropolitan District No. 3 for the Bloom development will enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the City in which the Metropolitan District agrees to: o If vacated area does not vest in the Metropolitan District on vacation pursuant to Section 43-2-302, C.R.S, obtain ownership of the vacated area immediately upon vacation. o Provide a bond to the City for 125% of the estimated value of the landscape improvements to guarantee the completion of those improvements. o Maintain the vacated area in perpetuity pursuant to the City’s approved plans at the Metropolitan District’s sole expense. Figure 1. Area Map Page 63 Item 8. City Council Agenda – City of Fort Collins Page 3 of 3 Figure 2. Existing Street Stub CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS The City will no longer need to maintain the 5,373 square feet of vacated right-of-way, which will decrease the City’s street maintenance costs. PUBLIC OUTREACH Potentially affected utility agencies, staff, and emergency service providers have been notified of the request for right-of-way vacation. Additionally, the adjacent property owners at 468 Fairchild Street and 502 Fairchild Street have been notified of the proposed right-of-way vacation. The notification letter to the adjacent property owners also informed them that the first reading of this Ordinance is scheduled for the City Council consent agenda on September 6, 2022.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION On May 2, 2022, an Administrative Hearing was held to consider the application for the Sanctuary on the Green Project Development Plan #PDP210018. The Hearing Officer issued a Decision on May 16, 2022, to approve the PDP application with two modifications of standards, alternative compliance for LUC Section 3.6.3(D) – (F), and two conditions of approval. On May 31, 2022, a Notice of Appeal (the “Notice”) was filed by the Sanctuary Field Neighborhood Network, with the following allegations: 1. The Administrative Hearing Officer failed to conduct a fair hearing because he considered evidence relevant to his findings that was substantially false or grossly misleading. 2. The Administrative Hearing Officer failed to conduct a fair hearing because the Hearing Officer was biased against the appellant by reason of a conflict of interest or other close business, personal or social relationship that interfered with the Hearing Officer’s independence of judgement. 3. The Administrative Hearing Officer failed to properly interpret and apply six sections of the Land Use Code, including Section 1.2.2 (Purpose), Section 3.5.1 (Building and Project Compatibility), Section 4.5(D)(1) (Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District (L-M-N); Land Use Standards; Density), Section 3.4.7 (Historic and Cultural Resources), Section 3.5.2(D)(1) (Residential Building Standards; Relationship to Dwellings to Streets and parking; Orientation to a Connecting Walkway) and 4.5 (D)(2)(a) (Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District (L-M-N); Land Use Standards Mix of Housing).

WHEREAS, after discussion, the City Council found and concluded based on the evidence in the record and presentations made at the Council hearing on August 16, 2022, that the Hearing Officer did not fail to conduct a fair hearing because of a conflict of interest or other close business, personal or social relationship that interfered with the Hearing Officer’s independence of judgment; and WHEREAS, the City Council further found and concluded based on the evidence in the record (including the Staff Report) and presentations made at the City Council hearing on August 16, 2022, that the Hearing Officer properly interpreted and applied Sections 1.2.2 (Purpose), 3.4.7 (Historic and Cultural Resources), 3.5.1 (Building and Project Compatibility), 3.5.2(D)(1) (Orientation to a Connecting Walkway), 4.5(D)(1) (Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District Density Standards, and 4.5(D)(2) (Mix of Housing), and of the Land Use Code; and WHEREAS, City Code Section 2-56(c) provides that no later than the date of its next regular meeting after the hearing of an appeal, City Council shall adopt, by resolution, findings of fact in support of its decision on the Appeal. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS that, pursuant to Section 2-56(c) of the City Code, the City Council hereby makes and adopts the following findings of fact and conclusions: 1. That the City Council hereby makes and adopts the determinations and findings contained in the recitals set forth above. 2. That the Appellant’s fair hearing allegations and the allegation that the Hearing Officer failed to properly interpret and apply Land Use Code Sections 1.2.2, 3.4.7, 3.5.1, 4.5(D)(1), 3.5.2(D)(1), and 4.5(D)(2)(a), as stated in the Notice of Appeal, conform to the requirements of Section 2-48 of the City Code. 3. That, based on the evidence in the record and presentations made at the City Council Hearing on August 16, 2022, the Hearing Officer did not fail to conduct a fair hearing because there was no evidence in the record that the Hearing Officer considered relevant evidence that was substantially false or grossly misleading. 4. That, based on the evidence in the record and presentations made at the City Council Hearing on August 16, 2022, the Hearing Officer did not fail to conduct a fair hearing because there was no evidence of bias against Appellant by the Hearing Officer because of a conflict of interest or other close business, personal or social relationship that interfered with the Hearing Officer’s independence of judgment. 5. That, based on the evidence in the record and presented at the City Council hearing on August 16, 2022, the Council finds that the Hearing Officer properly interpreted and applied Land Use Code Section 1.2.2 because the Purpose of the Land Use Code was satisfied by the procedures followed under the Code for this PDP and, therefore, the allegation is denied. Page 73 Item 9. 6. That, based on the evidence in the record and presented at the City Council hearing on August 16, 2022, the Council finds that the Hearing Officer properly interpreted and applied Land Use Code Section 3.4.7 because there are no historic buildings on the development site and the PDP met at least two of the design compatibility requirements required under Section 3.4.7 and, therefore, the allegation is denied. 7. That, based on the evidence in the record and presented at the City Council hearing on August 16, 2022, the Council finds that the Hearing Officer properly interpreted and applied Land Use Code Section 3.5.1 because the physical and operational characteristics of the proposed buildings and their uses in the PDP are compatible when considered within the context of the surrounding area, and the articulation and subdivision of larger buildings within the PDP satisfy the requirements of Section 3.5.1(C) and, therefore, the allegation is denied. 8. That, based on the evidence in the record and presented at the August 16, 2022, City Council hearing, the Council finds that the Hearing Officer properly interpreted and applied Land Use Code Section 3.5.2(D)(1) concerning connecting walkways within the PDP because it was within the Hearing Officer’s authority under Section 2.8 of the Code to grant a modification of standard as the requested modification would not be detrimental to the public good and because the PDP would allow more residents access to shared walkways with a pattern that provides a high level of interconnectivity throughout the development and to adjacent neighborhoods in a manner that is equal to or better than a street network by fostering a development plan that increases safety, connectivity, pedestrian inte raction and quiet enjoyment without sacrificing convenience and, therefore, the allegation is denied. 9. That, based on the evidence in the record and presented at the City Council hearing on August 16, 2022, the Council finds that the Hearing Officer properly interpreted and applied Land Use Code Section 4.5(D)(1) because the PDP includes density of dwelling units of 5.13 per gross acre, which satisfies the maximum density of 9 dwelling units per gross acre for the L-M-N zoning district and complies with the maximum density recommendations of the Northwest Subarea Plan (8 dwelling units per acre overall) and, therefore, the allegation is denied. 10. That, based on the evidence in the record and presented at the August 16, 2022, City Council hearing, the Council finds that the Hearing Officer properly interpreted and applied Section 4.5(D)(2)(a) of the Land Use Code concerning mix of housing because it was within the Hearing Officer’s authority under Section 2.8 of the Code to grant a modification of standard (requiring a mix of at least four housing types) because the requested modification (to provide only three housing types) would not be detrimental to the public good, the PDP invites walking to gathering places and provides trail and local street linkages, and the PDP promotes the general purpose of Section 4.5(D)(2)(a) to provide a variety of housing types equally well or better than a plan that provides a fourth housing type and, therefore, the allegation is denied. Page 74 Item 9. 11. That the Hearing Officer’s approval of Project Development Plan PDP210018 on May 16, 2022, including two modifications of standards, alternative compliance, and two conditions of approval, is hereby upheld. 12. That, based on the evidence in the record and presented at the August 16, 2022, hearing, the Appeal is without merit and is denied in its entirety. 13. That adoption of this Resolution shall constitute the final action of the City Council in accordance with City Code Section 2-56(c). Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Fort Collins this 6th day of September, A.D. 2022. __________________________________ Mayor ATTEST: _____________________________ City Clerk Page 75 Item 9.

The ranch presents a critical buffer and landscape connection between an interconnected complex of conserved lands that spans the Roosevelt National Forest, State Land Board, and privately held conservation easements. The property fits into the regional priorities of both the City and County, including the Dry Creek Conservation Area (Fort Collins Natural Areas Master Plan, 2014) and Buckeye Priority Area (Larimer County Open Lands Master Plan, 2015). Intact, landscape connections between the montane, foothills and plains are a rare occurrence on the rapidly developing Front Range. This ranch serves as one of the last remaining larger parcels on this eastern boundary that connects the mountains to the plains of northern Colorado. Conservation of the ranch would protect a highly valued large, intact property northwest of Fort Collins, situated in an ar ea of Larimer County that is subject to significant development of 35-acre subdivisions, as well as forthcoming changes to the surrounding landscape including construction of the planned Glade Reservoir and a realignment of U.S. Highway 287. The ranch is critical to ensure persistence and sustainability of wildlife at this eastern edge of the movement corridor and boasts high-quality habitats including intact native grasslands, and foothills shrublands, as well as wetland areas. As it stands today, this property is several miles east of the existing Highway 287 and separated by a steep hogback. Once realigned, the highway will be less than a half mile west of the Page 76 Item 10. City Council Agenda – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 2 ranch and will run parallel to the property for three miles. This property will become the eastern visual backdrop to the highway and a significant feature at this newly created gateway to the City of Fort Collins. Additionally, it will continue to serve as an elk and mule deer winter range concentration area given the proximity of a planned wildlife underpass that will facilitate east-west movement of wildlife through this landscape corridor. Numerous opportunities exist for enhanced ecological outcomes through habitat restoration, including wetland and wet meadow expansion. Current negotiations include approximately 700 acres of the ranch to be acquired in fee-simple. This area will be owned and managed as a natural area by the City. The remainder, between 200-400-acres, will stay in family ownership subject to a donated conservation easement to be held by Larimer County. Larimer County will also hold a conservation easement on the City-owned natural area. The project includes the purchase of one share of North Poudre Irrigation Company (NPIC) water with the fee-simple purchase and the encumbrance of one share of NPIC water tied to the donated conservation easement. Tying one share of water to each portion of the property allows for the leasing from NPIC for additional shares annually as needed, for both the City on its fee-simple ownership and future owners of the remainder of the ranch encumbered by the conservation easement. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS Based upon preliminary consultation with McCarty Land and Water Valuation in May 2022, the value of the portion to be acquired in fee-simple is anticipated to be between $3,000,000-$4,000,000. The contract purchase price will be dependent upon the appraised value disclosed in the final appraisal report, expected in September 2022.The landowner intends to donate the conservation easement on the remaining portion of the property, with an estimated total value of $750,000-$1,250,000. The City and County are seeking $766,800 in GOCO grant funding to support the total acquisition costs for this project. The remaining costs will be split 65/35% by the City/County. If GOCO does not award grant funding to this project, the City and County will continue to pursue this opportunity with a 65/35% City/County split of total project costs. In this scenario, the acquisition would likely take place over 2-3 years and would impact funds available for other Natural Areas land conservation endeavors. BOARD / COMMISSION / COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION At its August 10, 2022, meeting, the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board voted unanimously to recommend Council supports an application for a Great Outdoors Colorado grant relating to a land acquisition opportunity in the Buckeye region, in partnership with Larimer County. PUBLIC OUTREACH As part of the Mountains to Plains 2022 Zone Update, the Natural Areas Department collected public feedback about visiting the one property currently located in this zone, Soapstone Prairie Natural Area, and the management priorities identified in the update. Feedback responses included 107 comments about the plan, including 50 comments specifically about barriers to visiting Soapstone Prairie. Respondents indicated the distance to travel, and the time needed to access the site as barriers to visiting. While much smaller in scale than Soapstone Prairie, the Buckeye Conservation site would increase access to nature from north Fort Collins. ATTACHMENTS 1.
