ATTACHMENT 1: MEETING PRE-WORK
Pre-Work Item #1: Listen to this story from Minneapolis about the nexus between housing,
systemic racism, and climate change (5 minutes, article below video) and watch this video (5
minutes) providing an overview of displacement
Description: Councilmembers identified the relationship between systemic racism and housing as a
top priority for the Committee’s work. These videos align with both discussion items (housing types &
zoning and housing stability & displacement).

Pre-Work Item #2: Options for moving the Housing Types and Zoning Conversation forward
Description: At the October Ad Hoc Housing Committee meeting as noted in the October 28 Council
memo, Councilmembers discussed housing types and zoning and supported the following actions:
•Advance the Land Use Code audit recommendations, including options to increase affordable
housing incentives, missing middle housing types and density overall;
•Support to explore policy solutions for increasing accessory dwelling units (ADUs);
•Support for requiring affordable housing unit preservation for more than 20 years;
•Creation of an end-of-term report to highlight the Committee’s accomplishments as well as
recommendations and considerations for the next Council.
Options for Moving these Recommendations Forward: Based on this feedback, staff has drafted
the attached memo to provide more detailed options for how the City could move forward on these
various suggestions in alignment with the quick(er) wins, transitional and transformational solutions
framework discussed by the Committee. Below is a brief summary of the options outlined in the memo:
•“Quick(er) Wins” that could be accomplished within the current Council term include:
o Adopting the Housing Strategic Plan (includes priority land use recommendations)
o Preparing an out of cycle appropriation to initiate comprehensive revisions to the Land
Use Code in Q2 of 2021
•Transitional strategies that could be accomplished within the next BFO cycle/1-2 years
o Complete housing-related Land Use Code changes
o Restructure the Land Use Code
•Transformational strategies that will take more than 2 years to move forward
o Full implementation of the Land Use Code Audit to implement City Plan, including
updates to districts and uses, development standards revisions, and adding more
elaborate code graphics to increase the user-friendly nature of the Code
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO): In addition, Councilmember Cunniff suggested revisiting the
Inclusionary Housing Ordinance if certain triggers could be met, e.g., state allows inclusionary housing
for rentals. This past spring, Councilmembers gave direction to move forward with evaluating an
affordable housing impact fee and not to move forward with IHO work at this time but to instead
consider this strategy within the broader Housing Strategic Plan process. This was based in part on
economic conditions mostly outside the control of the City not being ripe for the IHO and also that the
impact fee would be simpler to administer.
Accordingly, staff is including IHO in the evaluation framework for the plan in the following forms: (1)
IHO for ownership only; (2) IHO with both ownership and rental; and (3) a voluntary IHO incentive
policy. Each of these have challenges associated with implementation, e.g., option 2 requires state
action. For more information on the required triggers for an IHO to be successful in Fort Collins, the full
study is available online here.

Pre-Work Item #3: Review Peer Cities efforts to address anti-displacement and housing stability
Description: At the October meeting, Committee members identified the focus on addressing housing
stability and preventing displacement at the November meeting. In City Plan, displacement is defined
as “The involuntary movement or loss of housing by individuals and families from an established area,
often resulting from redevelopment, higher property taxes, and the loss of social connections.”
Addressing this issue aligns with the following City Plan policies:
•Policy LIV 6.9 - Prevent Displacement: housing providers and support organizations to enable
the purchase, rehabilitation and long-term management of affordable housing. Particular
emphasis should be given to mobile home parks located in infill and redevelopment areas.
•Policy LIV 6.10 - Mitigate Displacement Impacts: Consider mitigation strategies to assist
residents displaced through the closure of manufactured housing parks or conversion of rental
apartments, including single-room-occupancy units, to condominiums or other uses.
To support the conversation, staff researched eight communities to assess their strategies and identify
options for Councilmembers to discuss. Beginning with the anti-displacement slide from Portland’s
presentation at the October meeting (see slide 53), staff assessed strategies across education,
financial assistance, technical assistance, and regulatory solutions.
29 potential solutions for addressing anti-displacement were identified and are summarized on page 4.
Fort Collins is already implementing eight of these 29 solutions. Of these, staff has identified three
strategies that could be considered “quick wins,” e.g., something Council could move forward on with
this term (see below). Staff recommends the remaining solutions are prioritized against all potential
strategies via the evaluation framework under development with the Housing Strategic Plan.
Staff’s research of other communities is by no means comprehensive. The eight cities staff researched
include peer communities of similar size along with leaders in anti-displacement policy.
Potential Quick-win strategies: Many of the strategies staff researched would require creating new
programs or regulations. Others could be accomplished with additional staff time or building on existing
programs from partnering organizations. The following three strategies are some potential quick wins
building on existing staff resources and partnerships:
•Strategy 1 – Assess displacement and gentrification risk. City staff can use the work other
communities do in this space as a guide for building our own index for displacement and
gentrification risk using readily available data (Census, American Community Survey, etc.).
•Strategy 2 – Tenant rights and legal services. Council could continue to allocate resources to a
legal defense fund for renters seeking legal representation in eviction cases, beyond the
duration that current CARES resources allow.
•Strategy 3 – Financial literacy, Homebuyers Education, etc. The City could provide funding
and/or support financial literacy and homebuyers education classes such as those provided by
CSU, Neighbor to Neighbor, and other partnering organizations.

Discussion Item: Housing Types and Zoning
•Context setting: Zoning, density, and housing types in Fort Collins
o Know land supply is likely not sufficient for anticipated growth
o Missing middle – townhouses, attached, accessory dwelling units – is a small percentage of
current housing stock, which is 63% single family homes
o Land Use Code Audit recommendations include:
Align zoning districts and uses with structure plan place types
Create more opportunities for a range of housing options
Clarify and simplify development standards
o Density and design
Density helps create walkable neighborhoods, supports housing choice and affordability,
helps expand transportation options, supports community fiscal health, improves
security, and helps protect the environment
When it comes to density, design matters
Low density units are inherently less energy efficient, limit ADA accessibility, and make
solar more difficult and more expensive
•Guest speakers from Aurora, Colorado and Portland, Oregon (moderated by Paul Sizemore)
o What is your community’s story related to addressing a diversity of housing types?
Aurora:
•Kicked off two major projects in 2014/2015: complete rewrite of zoning code
and the development of a brand-new comprehensive plan
•During plan process, housing affordability showed up as one of the top
challenges in the community
•Tackling issues like equity, gentrification, resource usage, etc.
•Population approximately 380,000
Portland:
ATTACHMENT 2
6
•Project initiated in response to demolitions and scale of infill, decreasing
affordability and lack of choice
•Population approximately 650,000 in Portland, 2.5 million in metro area
•Least growth (20%) currently occurring in single family zones as these areas built
out first
•Missing middle housing includes duplexes, triplexes, courtyard apartments,
townhouses, live-work spaces
•“Better Housing by Design” – abandoned maximum densities and did form-
based code – all based on scale and bulk, no longer counting number of units
except minimum number of units must be met
•Have allowed ADUs for many years – currently have about 5,000
o Want to encourage more but development of ADUs is expensive and
not realistic for many people
o How did you prioritize strategies and define what was most impactful?
Portland:
•Have been opportunistic with ballot measures and grants
•Areas of responsibility divided into regulated affordable housing (8-10% of
housing stock), long-range planning
•Projects with 20 or more units are required to achieve certain number of
affordable units (now seeing a lot of 19-unit apartment buildings)
Aurora:
•Plan addresses housing needs by expanding definitions and development
standards, expanding use of mixed-use districts, and allowing for limited use of
very small lots
•Co-housing layout includes single family units supported by communal facilities
•Cottage house layout comprised of small houses that are not more than 800
square feet and configured on a single lot
•Special allowances for affordable housing include design standards, additional
height allowed, parking requirement reduced, exempted from TOD public art
requirement
o Recognizing that land use alone will not solve housing affordability, what else are you coupling
these solutions with to achieve your community’s goals?
Aurora:
•Increased collaboration between projects focused on planning and zoning with
those focused on housing, homelessness, HUD programs, etc. Can’t do one
without the other.
•Focused on full spectrum of housing – people move through spectrum as they
move through life
•Want to have complete neighborhoods
•Looking at jobs/housing balance
•Exploring home share
•All affordable housing needs some type of incentive
•Preserving and increasing supply
•Improving processes
Portland:
•Additional zoning tools: size bonuses, inclusionary housing, accessory dwelling
units, manufactured dwelling parks (naturally-occurring affordable housing)
•Deeper affordability bonus
7
•Other tools – Portland housing bond, Metro (regional) housing bond, affordable
housing construction excise tax, naturally-occurring affordable housing, anti-
displacement strategies (different strategies for renters and homeowners)
•Discussion with Panelists
o What metrics are being tracked? Seeing difference in affordable housing inventory?
Aurora has tracked number of units for about 10 years and amount of incentives, want
to dig deeper into how to preserve affordability of homes and get more creative with
tracking and incentives. How do you quantify the incentive of a zoning adjustment?
Recognize this is a learning space and do not have all of the answers.
o Tend to incentivize units with 20-year affordability on the horizon, but what does it look like
when those expire?
Portland’s sunset dates on affordable units are 100 years out, so not a current concern
o What are Portland’s policies around ADUs?
System development charges are waived, no other incentives
o Older smaller homes become more affordable for first-time homebuyers – how to transition
more of those renters into homeowners?
Aurora also sees this pattern where prime first-time homebuyer properties become
rentals – a lot of older homes also bought by investors
o Were elected officials generally supportive and helpful?
Aurora had some suggestions get very political, including lot sizes and ADUs (hoped to
spread more widely, scaled back to one neighborhood pilot project)
Controversial in Portland from the beginning, Planning Committee’s final vote was 5-4
and all the nay votes were people of color (concerns about gentrification and
displacement) – in the end, 3 of the 4 Council members supported
o Aurora talked about greater metro area – do you have strong partnerships in the region,
particularly related to housing and transportation planning?
Regional conversations are critical, movement of people between Aurora and Denver is
very common, shared challenges
Denver has more experience with some of the big city/urban challenges, Aurora learning
from them
Largely focused on mixture of people experiencing homelessness along Colfax – tend to
move between Aurora and Denver
•Committee Discussion
o Presentation on density was very enlightening – not a huge difference in aesthetic between 12-
30 units/acre – would like to continue this conversation
o Interested in ADUs but haven’t seen anywhere this has made a huge difference to housing stock
While not the solution, can still be part of the solution
o Quicker wins to pursue: inclusionary zone discussion could be quick accomplishment on the way
to bigger wins, could setup the policy now to be triggered if certain milestones were met, e.g.,
state law changes, etc.
o Quick wins by stabilizing housing, whether renter or homeowner
o Need to find better ways to operationalize City Plan
o Want to create end-of-term report for new Council
o Need to change affordable housing/deed restricted policies from 20-year affordability to longer,
e.g., in perpetuity or 100-year
o If Land Use Code update does get funded, how long of a process is that?
Heard today that LUC overhauls can take years; our code hasn’t been overhauled since
1997, so it would be a long-term project, but can also prioritize which pieces get
prioritized and updated first
8
Actions Supported by Committee
•Land use code audit
o Increasing density specifically
•ADUs as a tool
•Preservation of units
o Change affordable housing policies to 100-year restricted covenant vs. current 20-year
•Transition – end of term report
•Other committee member suggestions
o Quick wins – stabilizing housing and anti-displacement solutions, apply what we’ve learned from
COVID; focus of November meeting
o Inclusionary Zoning policy with specific triggers when pre-conditions are met
Next Meeting Focus and Process Check-in:
•Review land use code options, including timing and funding
•Ideas around:
o Anti-displacement and programmatic solutions to get at stability
Relate back to missing middle
o Livable wage/demand-side strategies, especially for BIPOC community members

MEMORANDUM
DATE:November 3, 2020
TO:Darin Atteberry, City Manager
THRU:Kelly DiMartino, Deputy City Manager
Caryn Champine, Planning, Development & Transportation Director
Jacqueline Kozak Thiel, Chief Sustainability Officer
Paul Sizemore, Interim Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director
FROM:Meaghan Overton, Senior City Planner

RE: Follow-up on Land Use Code Changes and Implementation of the Land Use Code Audit
Bottom Line: This memo provides additional information on options to move forward with Land
Use Code (LUC) changes as recommended by City Plan (2019) and the Land Use Code Audit
(2020). Staff intends to share the information contained in this memo in the packet for the
November 12 Council Ad-Hoc Housing Committee meeting, which will be submitted on November
5.Staff recommends a phased approach that begins in Q4 2020 with prioritizing key housing-
related changes outlined in the “Quick(er) Wins” section below. No additional resources are
necessary to begin this work, though staff time and financial resources will be required for future
phases or to advance this process more rapidly.
Background
This memo is a follow-up to a September 30, 2020 memo to City Council summarizing the City’s
recently completed LUC Audit, which was a high priority action in City Plan. This memo also
responds to several interrelated conversations: the Council Work Session discussion on
September 22, 2020, the Council Ad Hoc Housing Committee meeting on October 8, 2020, and the
Leadership Planning Team meeting on October 19.
Given the support from the Ad Hoc Housing Committee to continue working on land use changes
to increase housing types and diversity, and Council’s adopted priority around affordable and
attainable housing, staff has drafted a recommended approach to accomplishing the work outlined
in the LUC audit.
Proposed Sequencing
Restructuring the LUC as recommended in City Plan and the LUC Audit is a complex project that
will require an organizational commitment of staff time and financial resources to retain consultant
aocupign bnvelope faW bPPTSOb1-019b-QO8T-9859-bT9O95091B0B ATTACHMENT 3

support. Staff support from multiple departments including the City Attorney’s Office, Sustainability
Services, Utilities, and Planning, Development & Transportation will be required. A full
implementation of the LUC Audit is expected to take several years to complete. This work has
been sequenced in the sections below to outline what staff could feasibly complete within the
current Council term (Quick(er) Wins), within the next 1-2 years through the BFO process
(Transition), and longer-term over the next 2+ years (Transformation).
Quick(er) Wins (within current Council term): Prioritize Housing-Related Changes
The current work on updating the City’s Housing Strategic Plan (HSP) is leading the way for
prioritization of LUC changes. Discussions about land use, zoning, and how they relate to housing
supply are important components of both the HSP and the work being undertaken by the Housing
Ad Hoc Committee. Staff anticipates that the HSP, which is scheduled for February 2021 adoption,
will include recommendations for high priority LUC changes that could be initiated by the current
Council and advanced by the next Council. LUC amendments themselves will require resourcing
as well as extensive public and stakeholder engagement, making it unlikely that any amendments
can be adopted within the current Council term; however, initiating this work now, instead of
delaying until January of 2022, means that the full work associated with this LUC update could be
completed in the next full budget cycle. Several potential changes have been discussed in recent
weeks, including affordable housing incentives, changing uses or housing types allowed, updating
regulations for accessory dwelling units, revising occupancy regulations, and encouraging “missing
middle” housing types. Prioritizing these changes will help direct staff work and public engagement
toward changes that could have the largest potential impact.
“Quick(er) Wins” that could be accomplished within the current Council term include:
Adopting the Housing Strategic Plan (includes priority land use recommendations)
Preparing an out of cycle appropriation to initiate comprehensive revisions to the Land Use
Code in Q2 of 2021
Transition (for next BFO cycle, 1-2 years): Prioritized Implementation of Land Use Code Audit
Staff plans to use the LUC Audit as an implementation guide to make usability, process, and
content changes to the LUC as resources allow. A prioritized implementation of the LUC Audit
would include:
Complete Housing-Related Changes – Housing related changes as prioritized in “quick(er)
wins” above, if not resourced through off-cycle appropriations.
o Engagement required: High. Some could be completed through HSP outreach
depending on timing and prioritization of strategies in the planning process.
o Resources required: TBD, depending on prioritization. This effort will require
significant staff and/or consultant time for engagement, modeling and visualization,
analysis, and similar work to implement priority LUC changes.
Restructure the Code – The Code would be reorganized in a more intuitive way, with an
emphasis on chapter restructuring, consolidation, simplification and increased use of simple
graphics to make the code easier to navigate. While the task of reorganizing the Code is
primarily administrative, it will result in benefits to end users of the code and support City
priorities around attainable and affordable housing. This work will include applying an equity
lens to the LUC, examining the levels of review required for different housing types, and
implementing process improvements to ensure that attainable and affordable housing
projects move efficiently through the review process. This work will also respond to
aocupign bnvelope faW bPPTSOb1-019b-QO8T-9859-bT9O95091B0B
3
stakeholder input encouraging a more intuitive organization of the LUC for all users (staff,
developers, residents, consultants).
o Engagement required: Low, primarily with regular users of the code
o Resources required: TBD, depending on prioritization. W ill require significant staff
and/or consultant time for drafting code language, modeling and visualization,
analysis, and legal review. This effort would need to be completed as one
comprehensive change rather than incrementally. There is a significant legal
component associated with restructuring the LUC.
Transformation (more than 2+ years): Full Implementation of Land Use Code Audit
The full implementation of the LUC Audit is anticipated to take 2+ years, and would include the
following major tasks:
Update Districts and Uses to Implement City Plan – Better align zoning districts with the
updated Structure Plan, eliminating or consolidating unnecessary districts. As districts are
revised, the uses permitted and their review types would also be revisited for all land uses.
This step would likely require significant time and outreach.
o Engagement required: High
o Resources required: Significant staff time and/or consultant support
Revise Development Standards to Implement City Plan – The goals of this step would be to
provide more flexibility, to standardize the approach to evaluating alternatives, to recalibrate
available incentives, and to align the design manual (and other engineering standards)
more closely with the LUC. This step would also require significant time and outreach.
o Engagement required: High
o Resources required: Significant staff time and/or consultant support
Add More Elaborate Code Graphics – Add tables, flowcharts, maps and illustrations beyond
that provided in the Code restructuring task to consolidate information and help guide the
readers’ understanding.
o Engagement required: Low
o Resources required: Some staff time and/or consultant support to create graphics
Prioritization and Tradeoffs
Implementing the LUC changes needed to align with City Plan and advance Housing Strategic
Plan goals will require a considerable commitment of financial and staff resources from multiple
City departments. In addition, the process will require engagement with Council as well as the
public and stakeholders to ensure a co-created product with wide community buy-in. The scope
and scale of the work is not unlike the development of City Plan itself. As a result, for the duration
of these projects any new Council priorities related to planning and land use may require
supplementary external resources and additional time to allow for contracting and management of
a consultant team.
