D) CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS IDENTIFIED IN THE CALL OF SPECIAL MEETING
1. Fort Collins Rescue Mission Development Plan Appeals.
The purpose of this quasi-judicial item is to consider two appeals of the Planning and Zoning
Commission decision from August 28, 2024, approving the Fort Collins Rescue Mission
Preliminary/Final Development Plan #FDP230022.
On September 6, 2024, Appellant Troy W. Jones filed a Notice of Appeal (the “Jones Appeal”);
and on September 11, 2024, Appellants Rebeca Mendoza and Debbie Bradberry filed another
Notice of Appeal (the “Mendoza Appeal”).
The Jones Appeal alleges that the Planning and Zoning Commission failed to properly interpret
and apply the following sections of the Land Use Code:
• Section 1.2.4 “Applicability” in conjunction with Section 3.5.1 on Building and Project
Compatibility, Subsection (A) “Purpose” and Subsection (J) “Operational/Physical Compatibility
Standards” together with the definition of “compatibility” from Section 5.1.2.

The Mendoza Appeal alleges that the Planning and Zoning Commission failed to:
• conduct a fair hearing in that the Commission considered evidence relevant to its findings
that was substantially false or grossly misleading; and
• properly interpret and apply the following sections of the Land Use Code:
- 1.2.4 “Applicability” in conjunction with Section 3.2.2 on Access, Circulation, and Parking,
Subsection (K) “Parking Requirements,” in conjunction with Section 3.4.1 “Environmental Impact”
and Section 3.5.1(J) “Operational/Physical Compatibility Standards, and Section 4.22(B) “Service
Commercial District Permitted Uses”.
The allegation explanations in both appeals largely center around two ideas:
1) men experiencing homelessness who come to the area because of the shelter will increase
social and behavioral problems in the area when they are not at the shelter; and
2) the idea that the facility may expand its number of beds in the future beyond the stated
maximum capacity of 250 beds.
