SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION
Community Capital Improvement Program ¼-cent Tax Renewal.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to update the City Council and get feedback on the development of a
package of projects for the capital tax renewal. This renewal is targeting the November 2025 election.
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
1. What questions do Councilmembers have regarding current proposed projects and/or timeline?
2. Are there projects Councilmembers recommend removing or adding?
3. Do Councilmembers have additional thoughts/suggestions on naming the project package?
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The current Community Capital Improvement Program (CCIP) tax will expire on December 31, 2025.
Staff is currently working to create a package to offer voters as a renewal in November 2025 for a tax
that would run from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2035.
To date staff has:
Demonstrated the traditional use of this tax being implemented at approximately 50% transportation-
related projects and 50% identified capital projects.
Shared lessons learned from previous tax measures.
Confirmed the desire that package of projects serve a diversity of needs throughout the community
and focus on projects identified and vetted by the public through planning processes.
Compiled and vetted potential projects submitted by departments.
Timeline to date has included Council touch points at a February 2024 work session, March 2024
Council Finance Committee (CFC), April 2024 work session, July 2024 CFC, and October 2024 CFC.
Proposed Council timeline going forward:
- January/February 2025 CFC (to be scheduled)
Page 19
Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 3
- April/May work session (to be scheduled)
- June/July work session (to be scheduled)
- July/August 2025 ballot referral (to be scheduled)
This schedule also anticipates public outreach and engagement starting in early 2025.
Potential Projects
The full proposed project list to date is attached. The list represents project costs far over what the
quarter-cent tax would collect. Continued refinement of the list will include prioritization of projects
through Council direction and public input, identifying scalable projects, and cost refinement, including
the impacts of inflation over time.
Below are a few specific project notes and project refinements that are underway:
Mulberry Pool: Following the July CFC meeting and the full Council discussion on the use of 2050 tax
funds, staff reviewed proposed projects to ensure alignment. Based on these discussions, the
Mulberry pool project remains in the 2026-35 capital sales tax list ($10M) with an understanding that
multiple funding sources will ultimately be needed.
Housing: Staff has continued to vet the potential use of a $10M Affordable Housing Fund as the seed
money for an on-going revolving loan fund. The overarching goal would be to create sustainable
affordable housing funding and provide an ability to go “narrow and deep” with funding as opposed to
“wide and shallow.” There are still many details to be determined and based on work and
conversations to date it seems feasible to:
- Issue a sales tax revenue bond against the $10M affordable housing fund dedication.
- Bond proceeds of approximately $7.5M would be available in year one to loan to an affordable
housing developer(s) at a favorable below-the-market interest rate.
- Developer would pay back loan creating money for future loans and projects.
Staff will prepare a more in-depth discussion on this topic for CFC in February 2025.
Downtown trolley Barn: Further discussions with Operation Services, Culture Services, and the
Museum of Discovery have narrowed and better defined the scope of the downtown trolley building
improvements into two specific activities:
1. Identify and complete necessary improvements to make the downtown trolley building
“ready” and feasible for a yet to be determined use; and
2. Find temporary storage for the Museum object artifacts to allow for downtown trolley barn
improvements and the inventory and auditing of the objects.
Gardens on Spring Creek: Expanding the projects at the Gardens on Spring Creek to include both
the Children’s Garden and Event Infrastructure based on current challenges and limitations that
impact visitor experience and potential revenue opportunities.
Downtown River Projects: shifting project focus to access for neighbors to the north of the river and
river health in the area north of the river and west of College Avenue.
Dog Parks: Consideration of removing project based on desire for a different approach/philosophy
addressing dogs in parks.

Item 2.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 3 of 3
The 3 proposed Streetscape projects (Willow and two on Jefferson) are being re-considered:
- Continue with Willow only, furthering the redevelopment in the River District and to coincide with
Utilities work; or
- Remove all 3 projects and add additional dollars to the Arterial Improvements fund to allow
greater flexibility in leveraging opportunities and greater geographic disbursement.
This option would benefit from additional clarity by adding “Streetscapes” to the fund
title and ensuring any projects have been identified in plans.
An alternative streetscape project outside of the Downtown area would be Midtown
Streetscape Improvements: Drake to Boardwalk
The following projects are no longer listed:
- Lincoln Center Kitchen Renovation
- Community Shared Commercial Kitchen
- LaPorte Avenue Re-design
The following project has been added
- Timberline Recycling Center Improvements
Naming
Having common nomenclature on tax measures can be beneficial during public outreach and throughout
the term of the tax when describing funding sources. Previous programs have included:
Designing Tomorrow Today
Project RECAP
Choices 95
Building Community Choice
Building on Basics
And the current program: Community Capital Improvement Program (CCIP)
Considerations for the renewal are listed below. CFC feedback encouraged not using the words “tax” or
“capital.” Staff will continue to create/consider options.
Capital by Design
Community by Design
Capital Improvement Tax
Quarter Cent Capital
NEXT STEPS
Continued project development and refinement.

November 7, 2024
Draft 2026-2035 ¼-cent Capital Tax Project List
Arterial Intersection Improvement Program: $10M
Vision Zero Plan
This program provides an annual fund for improvements to arterial intersections with safety
improvements for all travel modes. This funding has allowed City staff to provide needed
design, local match for grants, and construction funding, for previous major arterial intersection
improvements. From the 10-year Transportation Capital Improvement Program (TCIP), notable
planned projects include:
- Shields and Prospect Intersection Improvements
- Shields and Horsetooth Intersection Improvements
- Drake and Lemay Intersection Improvements
- College and Drake Intersection Improvements
Alternate: Arterial Intersection and Streetscape Improvement Program: $20M
Vision Zero Plan
This program provides an annual fund for improvements to arterial intersections and
streetscapes with a focus on safety improvements for all travel modes. The Arterial Intersection
Program has historically allowed City staff to provide needed design, local match for grants,
and construction funding, for major arterial intersection improvements. Previous individual
streetscape projects, including Linden Street and Willow Street renovations, have also been
constructed from capital sales tax funding. Combining intersections and streetscapes into one
program fund will allow for even greater leveraging of both funding and opportunity city-wide to
coincide with development and other departmental work. From the 10-year Transportation
Capital Improvement Program (TCIP), notable planned arterial intersection projects include:
- Shields and Prospect Intersection Improvements
- Shields and Horsetooth Intersection Improvements
- Drake and Lemay Intersection Improvements
- College and Drake Intersection Improvements
Additionally, notable planned streetscape projects include:
- Jefferson Street: Mountain to College
- Willow Street: Linden to Lincoln
- Midtown streetscape Improvements: College Ave: Drake to Boardwalk
Bicycle Infrastructure and Overpass/Underpass Program: $20M
Active Modes Plan
This program provides an annual fund to construct bicycle infrastructure as recommended in
the Active Modes Plan (AMP). This includes linear facility improvements such as buffered and
separated bike lanes as well as spot treatments or crossing improvements such as bike/ped
signals and protected intersections. Projects have been prioritized using the outcomes-based
evaluation measures of network connectivity, access to transit, safety and comfort, and health
and equity, with an emphasis on Safe Routes to Schools. This fund will combine the previous
CCIP Bicycle Infrastructure Improvements and CCIP Bike/Ped Grade Separated Crossing
Funds so will also fund pedestrian underpass projects that align with the AMP and the Strategic
Trails Master Plan, as well as aligns with our Vision Zero action plan.
Page 22
Item 2.
November 7, 2024
Pedestrian Sidewalk Program: $16M
Active Modes Plan
This program provides an annual fund for construction of missing and ADA deficient sidewalks
to complete the build out of the City network as well as pedestrian crossing improvements
recommended in the Active Modes Plan. This funding provides approximately 1.5 to 2 miles of
new sidewalk per year. Priority is given to areas near schools to advance the Safe Routes to
School Program, as well as along arterial roads. Fund can also provide for local grant match.
Willow Street Streetscape (Linden to Lincoln): $5.2M (possible removal)
This project would create a better urban design corridor along Willow Street from Linden to
Lincoln extending the previous work done on Willow Street west of Linden. The project
assumes two travel lanes, two parking lanes, two bike lanes with 3-foot buffers and two 8-foot
wide sidewalks and could be well timed to leverage with redevelopment in the area.
Jefferson Street (College to Linden): $6.8M (possible removal)
Creating a corridor similar to the recently completed Linden Street project on Jefferson from
College Ave to Linden Street. Two drive lanes with a center median through the corridor. The
sidewalks would be improved to be 4’-8' wide.
Jefferson Street (Linden to Mountain): $7.3M (possible removal)
Creating a corridor similar to the recently completed Linden Street project on Jefferson from
College Ave to Linden Street. Two drive lanes with a center median through the corridor. The
sidewalks would be improved to be 4’-8' wide.
Transfort Bus Stop Upgrades and Bus Replacement: $6M
Transfort has utilized dedicated funding from this program to improve over 80 bus stops and to
leverage grant funding that will allow improvements at more than 100 additional stops and
shelters. Improvements include ensuring ADA accessibility and amenities such as benches
and trash cans. To date, 220 stops have seen ADA upgrades as a result of CCIP funding.
Transfort also leverages program dollars for bus replacement. In the next 10 years, 30 buses
reach the end of their useful life including eight (8) 60FT articulated MAX buses. Replacing
buses at the end of their useful life is pivotal to maintaining the fleet in a state of good repair,
minimizing mechanical breakdowns and maximizing on time route performance, while also
leading to lower lifetime maintenance costs.
Transfort Maintenance Facility: $16M
This funding request would be leveraged with federal grant dollars at a match rate of 80%
federal funds and 20% local match and would be used toward the design and expansion of the
existing facility, and/or design and construction of a new facility. The vision for an expanded or
new facility includes sufficient office space, training facilities, maintenance bays, and bus
parking facilities to house the additional buses needed for expanded service. A new facility
includes the potential for mixed use commercial space, and a new publicly accessible transit
station. Current estimate for a new facility is approximately $77M, not including design costs.
Nature in the City (NIC): $1.5M
NIC projects provide opportunities for people to interact with and become stewards of their
surrounding environment. These projects increase wildlife values by creating stronger
connectivity between larger patches of urban habitat, such as natural areas and City parks. By
funding both internal City efforts and public/private partnerships, the community integrates
Page 23

diverse, native landscapes from the center of Fort Collins to the edges of the Growth
Management Area.
Housing Fund: $10M
Staff is researching potential new use of housing fund dollars including bonding against the
amount to create a revolving loan fund. We have also confirmed with local housing providers
that any amount of gap funding is a value.
Lee Martinez Farm Renovation and Facility Expansion: $2.6M
This project funds enhancements at the Farm at Lee Martinez Park by expanding inclusive
outdoor recreation opportunities including a shelter space and additional education features.
Mulberry Pool Replacement and Expansion: $10M
Mulberry Pool will reach end of life in the next 10-years. This funding will help with a future
replacement. Currently, Mulberry is the only pool in Fort Collins that provides a small year-
round leisure pool that serves families. Mulberry also provides lap lanes for both the
community, Poudre School District swim teams and club teams along with swim lessons for
swimmers of all abilities. A new modern facility would better serve the growing needs of Fort
Collins.
Pickleball Complex: $4M
This funding will be utilized and leveraged to provide additional pickleball courts. A pickleball
complex feasibility study is underway to determine if an existing community park site can offer
additional courts to close the gap in the short-term while waiting for future community parks to
be built. Building a new 12-court complex would cost approximately $4M.
Strategic Trails Implementation: $10M
The Strategic Trail Plan will be completed in 2024 and early 2025. Additional annual funding
will support the current Conservation Trust funding and expedite project delivery as developed
by the plan.
Dog Parks: $2.5M (possible removal)
Funding would implement two new dog parks and improve existing dog parks. There is a
current deficit in the central west and central east sections of town. The 2021 Parks &
Recreation Master Plan calls for four additional dog parks by 2040.
Bike Park (Early Phase): $5M
This funding would be used to implement first phase of a bike park based on feedback
gathered in a future bike park feasibility study.
Children’s Garden and Event Infrastructure Upgrades: $5.5M
This funding would allow for a major update of the Children's Garden which was the first garden
to open to the public 20 years ago. The full scope of the Children's Garden construction project
includes the garden itself, entry and access modifications for families and school groups. Event
infrastructure improvements would be focused on enhancing the experience of visitors through
better ADA restroom accessibility and more efficient technical (lighting, sound) equipment.
Police Renovation for Mental Health Response Team: $450K
The current detention area is underutilized due to regulatory restrictions and with renovation
could provide much needed office and meeting space for the mental health responder team.
Page 24
Item 2.
November 7, 2024
Downtown Trolley Building Renovation $6.8M
This funding would be utilized to stabilize the historic downtown trolley building. This building
currently houses the Museum object artifacts and other miscellaneous storage. Stabilizing the
building for future use is a first step towards maintaining and opening the space for greater
public use. Funding in this offer includes temporary storage of the artifacts. In 2017, the
Downtown Master Plan identified the historic Downtown Trolley Building as high potential for a
community-centered use.
Park, Trail, River Health and Accessibility North of the Poudre $8M
This funding is proposed to improve access to the Poudre River for neighborhoods to the north
and would include habitat, user experience and accessibility improvements to Legacy Park,
Hickory Trail and Soft Gold Park.
Construction Waste Diversion Equipment Replacement: $2.2M
Five pieces of heavy machinery are included in this offer. The Crushing and Recycling Facility
is a significant contributor to waste diversion and provides recycled materials to the public. In
2023, this facility processed approximately 138,000 tons of concrete and asphalt for reuse and
diverting this material from the landfill.
Timberline Recycle Center (TRC) Improvements: $2.2M
This project would implement identified site improvements to make the TRC more accessible to
all, to improve safety for visitors and staff, and meet the increased demand for recycling
services in our community. Elements included in this project:
ADA accessibility through ramps and walkways as well as decreased distance from bins
to vehicles.
Expanded access to recycling bins to meet the increasing number of customers and
amount of material recycled at the site.
Downtown Parks Shop: $7.9M
This funding allows for early work towards implementing the Civic Center Master plan. The
current downtown Parks Shop site is located in a refurbished commercial warehouse which is
near the end of its useful life and will be displaced as part of the Civic Center Master Plan. A
new facility in the downtown area will house not only the local support staff but also the
crews which support the horticultural areas around our facilities and throughout the public areas
and trail systems. Two districts will work out of this facility providing efficient operations in a
timely manner to the public.

GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
Staff seeks input on areas of priority or concern, other than those established in this Report to the
City Council, for matters of recordkeeping and/or the City’s internal control environment.
Otherwise, there are no specific questions to be answered as this is a 2023 year-end report.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In compliance with Government Auditing Standards, the City undergoes an independent external
audit on an annual basis. Plante & Moran finalized its financial statement audit and compliance
report on June 29, 2024, and the firm is required to report the results of the audit to those charged
with governance.
Attachment 1 to this agenda item contains the full report, findings of note are summarized below:
Identified Deficiencies (Attachment 1, pages 3-5):
Other findings/deficiencies identified by the auditors but not rising to the level of a significant
deficiency can be found in the Report to the City Council. Staff will provide a written response
to the audit findings at a fourth quarter Council Finance Committee meeting.
The final 2023 Single Audit report on Compliance for Major Federal Programs is expected to
complete by the third week of October and will be provided to Council Finance Committee at
that time.
DISCUSSION / NEXT STEPS;
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
Staff seeks input on areas of priority or concern, other than those established in this Report to the
City Council, for matters of recordkeeping and/or the City’s internal control environment.
Otherwise, there are no specific questions to be answered as this is a 2023 year-end report.
Kelly Ohlson; I remember in the past, there were suggestions and ideas shared after previous
audits.
Travis Storin; in any given year, we will receive between two and seven verbal comments on things
we can improve. These don’t rise to the level of a finding.
It is a question of materiality. It is a judgmental position that we might take. We defer to our
auditors if it is a material issue.

Item 2.
Kelly Ohlson; slide 4 (see above) the last bullet – Does that mean there are things you are
recommending but they don’t rise to a certain level? Are those things staff will end of doing?
Tim St. Andrew; these are things that as we were going through the audit and testing, we noticed
balances were off a little bit on these three items, but we did the analysis, we concluded that it
didn’t rise to the level that was significant, but it is high enough that we needed to report it to you
that we did have uncorrected adjustments. They are not reflected on the financial statements.
Kelly Ohlson; so, what happens to these ideas – asking staff?
Travis Storin; it would be kind of textbook that we are posting these. If you had a ‘no hitter audit’, there
would be no findings on these schedules. A big lens for us is if it is going to affect a fund balance or not.
That is a big determinant on whether it is something that would want to create some urgency around fixing.
Tim St. Andrew; these are not findings – they are unrecorded adjustments but not significant enough
balances to be findings.
Randy Bailey; we prioritize all of these things. For example, the Tourism Improvement District, that was
something that we did not include in any of our prior ACFRs. Because of this finding and the consult
That we had, we included it in our FY23 ACFR starting this year. Going forward, we will operationalize that
and it will be in our ACFR going forward.

hasn’t been spent yet. Any city or any entity that spends over $750K would be subject to a single audit.
As part of the process, we receive a schedule of federal expenditures. There are strict guidelines that we
must follow. The CIFA is our single audit plan and roadmap. We look at based on dollar amount, what the
major programs are and then if they have had any issues in the last two years, that is how we decide which
programs we are testing. We make sure we have the right coverage, depending on the facts of any year, we
either have to do 20% or 40% coverage. Out of the $29M, we need 40% coverage. It is the same process
every year, really grant specific and dollar specific which programs we test.
Kelly Ohlson; if you were to grade how the organization is doing compared to other local governments.
I just want to make sure we dot the I’s and cross the T’s.
Josh Yde; I think you are doing very well, and you have a great team in place. Keep in mind that there has
been a lot of change this year, on your end as well as a new audit firm and new auditing standards (GASB)
that had a major trickle-down effect. The bar is low for findings, and it is more common than not to have
findings. I would say overall, you are doing very well from a compliance to audit, preparation and readiness
standpoint.
Mayor Arndt; thank you. It is healthy to have audits. The Tourism Improvement District is new – this is our
second fiscal year. That is why we switch auditors; you see new things and it is a healthy process that shows
us ways to improve. Thank you for helping us be better.

SUBJECT FOR DISCUSSION
Capital Improvement Quarter-Cent Tax Renewal
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to update the Council Finance Committee (CFC) on continued development into
building a package of projects for the capital tax renewal. This renewal is targeting the November 2025 election.
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
1. What questions do committee members have regarding the current projects and/or timeline?
2. Are there projects the committee would recommend to remove or add?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The current Community Capital Improvement Program (CCIP) tax will expire on December 31, 2025. Staff is
currently working to create a package to offer voters as a renewal in November 2025 for a tax that would run
from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2035.
To date staff has:

Item 2.
• Demonstrated the traditional use of this tax being implemented at approximately 50% transportation-
related projects and 50% identified capital projects.
• Shared lessons learned from previous tax measures.
• Confirmed the desire that package projects serve a diversity of needs throughout the community and
focus on projects identified and vetted by the public through planning processes.
• Compiled and vetted potential projects submitted by departments.
Timeline to date has included Council touch points at a February 2024 work session, March 2024 CFC, April 2024
work session, and July 2024 CFC.
Proposed Council timeline going forward includes:
October 3, 2024, CFC (scheduled)
- November 12, 2024, Council work session (scheduled)
- January/February 2025 CFC (to be scheduled)
- May work session (to be scheduled)
- July work session (to be scheduled)
- July/August 2025 ballot referral (to be scheduled)
This schedule also anticipates public outreach and engagement starting in early 2025.
Potential Projects
The proposed project list to date is attached. The list represents project costs far over what the quarter-cent tax
would collect. Continued refinement on the list will include prioritization of projects through Council direction
and public input, identifying scalable projects, and cost refinement. This list includes transportation-related
projects and newly identified projects.
A few specific projects and details of note:
Following the last CFC meeting, staff took feedback to look at which funding sources and which projects
truly align in the parks and recreation area. Council also recently had a work session specifically focused on
the use of 2050 tax. Based on these discussions, the Mulberry pool project remains in the 2026-35 capital
sales tax list ($10M) with an understanding that multiple funding sources will ultimately be needed.
Staff has continued to vet the potential use of a $10M Affordable Housing Fund as the seed money for an
on-going revolving loan fund. The overarching goal would be to create sustainable affordable housing
funding and provide an ability to go “narrow and deep” with funding as opposed to “wide and shallow.”
There are still many details to be determined and based on work and conversations to date it seems feasible
to:
- Issue a sales tax revenue bond against the $10M affordable housing fund dedication.
- Bond proceeds of approximately $7.5M would be available in year one to loan to an affordable housing
developer(s) at a favorable below-the-market interest rate.
- Developer would pay back loan creating money for future loans and projects.
Further discussions with Operation Services, Culture Services, and the Museum of Discovery have potentially
narrowed the scope of the downtown trolley building improvements into two specific activities:
1. Identify and complete necessary improvements to make the downtown trolley building “ready” and
feasible for a yet to be determined use; and
Page 33 of 230

Item 2.
2. Find temporary storage for the Museum artifacts to allow for downtown trolley barn improvements and
the inventory and auditing of the objects.
There is still work and refinement to be done on this project.
Additional project list changes since July CFC:
o The following projects are no longer listed:
- Lincoln Center Kitchen Renovation
- Community Shared Commercial Kitchen
- LaPorte Avenue Re-design
o The following projects have been added
- Timberline Recycling Center Improvements
Naming
Having common nomenclature on tax measures can be beneficial during public outreach and throughout the
term of the tax when describing funding sources. Previous programs have included:

Kelly Ohlson; naming ideas - names matter – the morale of the story – my history POST 2001 – 1994 tax- lost
60/40 – changed called it Open Space passed 65/35 - People don’t know what capital is – Community is far
better than Capital - Community By Design
Ginny Sawyer: at this point in the game, are projects all scalable. The work that we will continue to do is in
identifying how much scalability will still leave a project viable. We will try to refine for Council as we go.
Prioritizing and understanding is our march forward as we go….
Emily Francis; I would like to see Soft Gold Park refresh on the list for this – it needs to be redone
Dean Klingner; can you share your vision? There are improvements at Soft Gold that could be 2025 eligible.
Emily Francis; it is a poorly designed park. It is not user friendly and how it abuts to the natural area has caused
a lot of environmental issues with for example, folks camping there. It is conducive to illegal behavior due to its
location - no homes close. The design and environment -
Dean Klingner; the team has been hearing that feedback – even in the 2050 conversation, we have heard a lot
about the taking care of what we have component as parks age. What you are saying about Soft Gold resonates
with our team in terms of there are enough changing factors going on that it will rise to the top. We are
confident in that. What I would say today is that one way or another, we will do some thinking around whether
2050 or CCIP is the best option or a combination strategy. It may be that we just extend what we are thinking
about for the north side of the river.
Emily Francis; Hickory Spur is practical but is kind of depressing - except for when the goats are there

Capital Tax –Lessons Learned
Helpful to…
-Advance projects from Master Plans that
have been informed by community input.
-Ensure items put forth represent community
desires and priorities across broad
geography, types of services, and personal
passions.
-Utilize community engagement to help
prioritize projects and programming.
Have learned to…
-Adjust for inflation and add on years of
operation and maintenance.
-Balance flexibility and specificity to ensure
voters get what the ballot promised while
allowing flexibility to take advantage of
unforeseen opportunities (grants, development,
etc.)
-Avoid singular projects that would absorb a
majority of the funding.
-Solidify a plan far enough in advance of referral
to ensure adequate budgeting analysis and
community awareness.

Land Use Code Update: Commercial Corridors and Centers.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to update Council on the scope, approach, and timeline for Phase 2 of the
Land Use Code (LUC) update.
GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED
1. Do Councilmembers have feedback regarding the focus, timeline or approach to Phase 2 of the Land
Use Code update?
2. Are the Draft Guiding Principles heading in the right direction?
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
From July 2021 through April of 2024, staff led a process to explore changes to the Land Use Code (LUC)
in what was called “Phase 1” of the overall LUC update. Phase 1 focused primarily on changes seeking to
reduce barriers to the development of housing across the community, including those barriers related to
the creation of subsidized affordable housing. The process included extensive community engagement,
policy analysis and synthesis, development of guiding principles, a diagnostic report of the existing Land
Use Code, and code drafting across multiple iterations of the code. Two referendums led by a group of
voters required that Council reconsider the Ordinance in 2023 and again in 2024. Extensive community
outreach and modifications to the LUC ended with Council adoption of the Foundational Land Use Code
changes in April of 2024.
Several foundational Phase 1 LUC changes were adopted by Council on April 16, 2024. These include:
Reorganized content so the most used information is first in the Code
Reformatted zone districts with consistent graphics, tables, and illustrations
Created a menu of building types and form standards to guide compatibility
Updated use standards, rules of measurement, and definitions to align with new building types and
standards
Expanded and re-calibrated incentives for affordable housing
Regulate density through form standards and building types instead of dwelling units per acre
Page 53
Item 3.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 7
Phase 2 will focus on updates to commercial corridors, which primarily include mixed-use, commercial,
and employment districts. Potential updates were identified in the Land Use Code Audit, and the Land Use
Code Diagnostic mentioned above. Staff confirmed project direction and general scope at the June 11th
Work Session.
Project Overview
Land Use Codes are used by municipalities and County governments across the country. These plans and
accompanying policies often carry out the vision of the community adopted within the Comprehensive Plan
and must conform to some State and National laws and standards. The Land Use Code primarily governs
design and use standards on private property. Land Use Codes must work with other code standards, such
as Municipal Codes, Building Codes, Fire Codes, and stormwater mitigation standards, among others.
Policy Foundation
Code updates are complex, multifaceted efforts that build on years of previous planning work. The LUC is
one of the City’s primary regulatory tools for implementing our community’s vision as described in various
policies and adopted plans. It is critical to establish a clear understanding of the relationship between the
City’s policy priorities and the current LUC early in the process. The following documents contain just some
of the adopted policies that could inform the LUC Updates:
City Plan
Housing Strategic Plan (HSP)
Economic Health Strategic Plan
Our Climate Future (OCF)
Transit Master Plan
15-Minute City Analysis
Land Use Code Audit (which identified opportunities to align LUC with the newly-adopted City Plan)
Council Priorities (affordable and achievable housing strategies; 15-minute communities)
Urban Forest Strategic Plan
Relevant Goals, Policies, and Action Items
Attachment number 2 in your packet details the policies and strategies relevant to Phase 2 of the Land
Use Code update found in several of the City’s adopted plans. These have been organized based on
Council Priorities within the attachment and they were used to create the draft Guiding Principles outlined
below.
Relevant Council Priorities
Council Priority No. 1: Operationalize City resources to build and preserve affordable housing
Council Priority No. 3: Advance a 15-minute city by igniting neighborhood centers
Council Priority No. 4: Pursue an integrated, intentional approach to economic health
Council Priority No. 8: Advance a 15-minute city by accelerating our shift to active modes
These documents and priorities serve as primary inputs to the formation of future Guiding Principles and
code language, augmented by work accomplished in Phase 1 of the LUC update.
Process Refinement
Phase 2 of the Land Use Code update began with an analysis of goals and strategies within adopted plans,
a thorough review of the Land Use Code Audit, and the Diagnostic Report. The following graphic
represents the process of analyzing adopted plans, and Council priorities through the Diagnostic Report
and the Land Use Code Audit to understand where the existing Land Use Code falls short of the vision
Page 54
Item 3.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 3 of 7
outlined in the adopted plans. The gap between existing standards and the future vision has been distilled
into four draft guiding principles explained in more detail below. The subsequent Project Approach section
includes a timeline for how this work will be advanced over the next year.
Project Approach
Timeline
Because Phase 1 of the LUC changes took longer than originally expected the timeline for Phase 2 has
been condensed to meet the desired timeframe for Councilmembers. This also means the scope for
Phase 2 is tight and adheres to changes related most specifically to items relevant to Council Priorities
and successful commercial corridors. Below is a timeline that anticipates consideration for adoption in
late summer of 2025:
Page 55
Item 3.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 4 of 7
Structure Plan Alignment
The Land Use Code Diagnostic analyzed the extent to which the LUC aligns with the Future Place Types
within the Structure Plan outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan (City Plan). In City Plan, the Structure
Plan map and accompanying place types-or land use categories-provide a framework to guide growth and
investment as the Fort Collins Growth Management Area population grows.
Phase 2 primarily affects alignment of uses and patterns of development within the Mixed-Use Place Type
Districts. These districts are intended to provide opportunities for a range of retail and commercial services,
office and employment, multifamily residential, civic and other complementary uses in a compact,
pedestrian and transit-supportive setting. Mixed-use districts are the locations in the community most likely
to experience significant changes in density and intensity. The gradual transition of existing, auto-oriented
mixed-use districts will be encouraged to help maximize available land and infrastructure, as well as to
support other community objectives, such as expanded housing options, improved access to services and
a more robust transit system.
While Downtown is a Mixed-Use District, Phase 2 updates do not contemplate changes within the
Downtown area. This is because the Downtown Plan was recently adopted, with accompanying zoning
and use changes that are in line with the City Plan vision.
Proposed Updates and Alignment with Guiding Principles
Draft Guiding Principle: Enable more housing and compatible infill, especially along transit corridors
and near commercial centers
Potential Land Use Code Updates to Address Guiding Principle:
Evaluate permitted uses and intensities near transit
o Consider whether the allowed uses in these districts promote or inhibit mixed-use
development.
Review process requirements to understand timing and barriers to intended outcomes.
Analyze various parking requirement scenarios and how those impact development of mixed-
use projects.
Relevant Council Priorities:
Council priority No. 1: Operationalize City resources to build and preserve affordable housing
Council Priority No. 3: Advance a 15-minute city by igniting neighborhood centers
Council Priority No. 4: Pursue an integrated, intentional approach to economic health
Draft Guiding Principle: Create resilient commercial and employment centers that are adaptable to
future needs
Potential Land Use Code Updates to Address Guiding Principle:
Examine required ratios of primary employment uses versus secondary supporting uses
(residential, retail, childcare, etc.)
Examine any other barriers to mixed-use development within the Employment and Harmony
Corridor zones, such as process-based, form-based or other code-based impediments.

Council Priority No. 4: Pursue an integrated, intentional approach to economic health
Council Priority No. 8: Advance a 15-minute city by accelerating our shift to active modes
Draft Guiding Principle: Create better form standards for greater predictability along transit investment
corridors.
Potential Land Use Code Updates to Address Guiding Principle:
• Explore and develop form-based standards for non-residential structures
• Explore and develop standards that focus on public realm, pedestrian/multimodal site design and
orientation
• Analyze multimodal connectivity standards that connect to public infrastructure, i.e., transit, bike
lanes and pedestrian walkways
Relevant Council Priorities:
Council Priority No. 3: Advance a 15-minute city by igniting neighborhood centers
Council Priority No. 4: Pursue an integrated, intentional approach to economic health
Council Priority No. 8: Advance a 15-minute city by accelerating our shift to active modes
Draft Guiding Principle: Improve predictability of the Land Use Code, especially to support small
business owners.
Potential Land Use Code Updates to Address Guiding Principle:
• Change-of-use process for existing sites and buildings
• Explore strategies to help ensure sites are brought up to modern standards over time without
discouraging new business formation
Relevant Council Priorities:
Council Priority No. 3: Advance a 15-minute city by igniting neighborhood centers
Council Priority No. 4: Pursue an integrated, intentional approach to economic health
State Legislation
Several bills were passed in 2024 through the state legislature that will affect local Land Use Policy.
Compliance with these bills will be brought to Council as separate items in advance of their associated
deadlines:
HB-1313 Housing in Transit-Oriented Communities:
This bill will require the establishment of a Housing Opportunity Goal, potential rezonings, establishment
of anti-displacement strategies, and reporting on an on-going basis.
Page 57
Item 3.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 6 of 7
HB-1152 Accessory Dwelling Units:
This bill will require updating our Land Use Code to permit Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) wherever we
allow single-family detached homes. Code language from previous iterations of the Land Use Code has
already been drafted. W ill need to confirm that previously written code language would comply with this
bill.
HB-1304 Minimum Parking Requirements:
This bill will require updates to the Land Use Code to remove minimum parking requirements for multi-
family and certain mixed-use projects in applicable transit areas.
While the Phase 2 Team will be involved in the work to come into compliance with the above house bills,
the project team will need to connect with several other departments across the city to ensure alignme nt
across standards and other requirements
Community Engagement
Engagement kick-off events began in early October and were spread across the community at various
neighborhood commercial centers. Six of these events were held throughout October. Online comments
were also collected through the OurCity platform. An interactive map garnered over 350 geographically
specific comments. Attached is a summary of comments heard at the events and the online comments.
Engagement Strategy
Engagement for Phase 2 will utilize the following strategies:
Broad community outreach, involving newsletters, website updates, informational videos, social media
posts and press releases, among others.
Targeted geographic outreach, when necessary, to gather feedback from adjacent neighbors when
considering specific code changes that affect specific commercial areas.
Business-focused outreach to better understand the needs of business owners who occupy physical
buildings, lease space, and/or have been through a Development Review process with the City.
Focus group conversations to gather very specific feedback on technical aspects of the Land Use
Code.
There will be several cycles of consultant production, staff review and community engagement prior to
each Council work session and prior to the release of a draft code. The following is an illustration of
sequencing for next steps in the process:
Page 58
Item 3.
City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 7 of 7
Council Engagement
Council engagement will be important throughout the process. Potential methods for Council engagement
will include:
Work Sessions at key decision points
Invitations to community engagement events
Listening Sessions
Interim memos from staff
Staff will also be available to answer questions throughout the process.
NEXT STEPS
If Council is supportive of the approach outlined at this work session, staff will finalize the scope of work
and return for another Council work session in April of 2025. Staff will also update Council with a packet
memo in early 2025 as the work progresses.

Land Use Code Phase 2 Engagement Fall Report
11/01/2024
Introduction
The City of Fort Collins is undertaking Phase 2 of its Land Use Code update. This phase is part
of the larger effort to modernize the City's Land Use Code (LUC), which governs how land is
used and developed in our community.
Phase 2 is focused on updating commercial zone districts, corridors, and development
standards to ensure they align with current city policies and community needs. Phase 2’s goals:
To create a more intuitive, easy-to-use Land Use Code
To enable the creation of resilient commercial centers that support local business and
are adaptable to future community needs
To enable more mixed-use development, especially along transit corridors and within
commercial centers
The purpose of this phase of public outreach was to educate participants about the LUC,
clarifying its functions and limitations. It aimed to explain the specific issues being addressed in
the current update and how evolving community priorities influence our built environment.
Additionally, this phase highlighted the differences between Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project,
explaining what will and will not be covered in this update. Participants also learned about key
upcoming milestones in the project timeline. Importantly, this outreach provided a platform for
community feedback on desired code changes that align with the city’s plans and policies.

Event Details
Neighborhood Visits
In October, the City of Fort Collins held six neighborhood visits with over 50 participants, one in
each council district, as part of the LUC Phase 2 updates. These events provided residents with
an opportunity to learn how the LUC has influenced their neighborhoods, including the places
where they work, shop, and spend time.
During the visits, attendees discussed important topics such as street access, walkability,
bikeability, zoning, landscape design, and the layout of commercial spaces. Participants also
took part in a hands-on scavenger hunt, exploring their neighborhoods to document key 15-
minute city locations and share feedback on how these areas serve the community.
Visit 1: Friday, Oct. 4 from 4 - 6 p.m. at Poudre Valley Plaza (1050 W. Horsetooth Rd.)
Visit 2: Monday, Oct. 7 from 4 - 6 p.m. at Jessup Farm Artisan Village (1950 Jessup Dr.)

Things they DON’T like:
Page 74
Item 3.
Land Use Code Phase 2 Engagement Fall Report
11/01/2024
Many comments reflected a sentiment regarding the shortcomings of current commercial
developments, particularly those that prioritize car access over pedestrian and bike-friendly
environments. Here are the main themes that summarize the input received thus far:
1. Car-Centric Development: Many comments criticize the overwhelming focus on
automobile accessibility, citing large parking lots, poorly designed access routes, and a
general lack of consideration for pedestrians and cyclists.
2. Inefficient Land Use: Commenters express concern about the excessive amounts of
parking, particularly near transit lines, which is seen as a waste of valuable urban space.
Suggestions include converting these areas into mixed-use developments, housing, or
community spaces that would better serve the population.
3. Lack of Connectivity and Accessibility: There are calls for improved connectivity
between commercial areas and transit stops. Many feel that pedestrian walkways, bike
routes, and logical entrances/exits are essential for encouraging non-car travel and
making the community more accessible.
4. Mixed-Use Zoning Advocacy: Some commentors expressed a desire for additional
mixed-use development, with many comments advocating for zoning changes that would
allow residential and commercial spaces to coexist.
5. Community Safety and Aesthetics: Many documented concerns about safety and
aesthetic considerations. Comments highlight the negative impact of poorly lit parking
lots, blighted properties, and the visual dominance of car-centric infrastructure.
Example of interactive map comments documented through red (likes) and green (dislike) pins.
Things they DO like:
1. Mixed-Use Development: Respondents expressed a desire for more mixed-use
developments that combine residential and commercial spaces, allowing for easier
access to local shops and services. Additional suggestions include integrating small
coffee shops, repair shops, and community markets within neighborhoods.
2. Connectivity and Accessibility: Comments highlight the importance of connecting
commercial areas to existing bike and pedestrian infrastructure, such as the Poudre bike

path and Spring Creek Trail. Many noted that improved access for cyclists and
pedestrians would encourage greater usage of these areas and foster a sense of
community.
3. Affordable Housing and Local Business Support: Many of those who commented
suggested prioritizing affordable housing in accessible locations and ensuring that
commercial spaces remain affordable for local business owners. Comments stressed the
importance of avoiding a landscape dominated by national chains, advocating instead
for local businesses that reflect the unique character of Fort Collins.
4. Sustainable Urban Planning: Many comments pointed to the need for thoughtful urban
planning that reduces unnecessary parking and encourages denser, more sustainable
developments. This includes creating more green spaces and outdoor amenities, as well
as promoting the idea of pop-up markets and flexible use of public spaces. Suggestions
for enhancing public transit options and reducing the reliance on cars were also
emphasized.
5. Pedestrian-Centric Design: Many commentors noted a desire to transform Linden
Street into a pedestrian mall to enhance walkability and community engagement. Many
comments advocate for designs that prioritize pedestrian access over vehicle traffic,
similar to successful examples in Old Town.
Business Kick Off Event
A business-specific kick-off event was organized by the Chamber of Commerce and City staff
was invited to present. There were approximately 35 attendees. Attendees asked questions on
the following topics:
Process improvements to speed up review times and increase predictability in the
outcome.
Identify and remedy areas where plans/standards/Utilities requirements conflict and
resolve where possible.
What peer cities are doing and whether they have addressed similar issues in their
process and code.
