I Ordinance Denied Relating to the Use of Streets, Alleys, Sidewalks, Plazas, And Malls Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: i "This ordinance was tabled on August 1 at the request of the DMA. The DMA has thoroughly discussed our proposal and submitted a written recommendation. A copy of this letter is attached. Apparently, the DMA is totally opposed to any private vendors in the downtown area which are not directly associated with a DMA promotion. They contend that street vendors unfairly compete with local, property -taxpaying merchants. They also express con- cern over the "unfavorable" atmosphere that may result from the presence of street merchants (e.g. increased litter.) j a September 5, 1978 ' We have seriously considered the DMA's concerns. We cannot support a policy which would only allow those vendors connected with a DMA promotion to operate. That would be unfairly exclu- sionary. We can, however, support a policy with the flexibility to deal with "quality -control" types of problems, and which would encourage activities in the downtown that enhance the at- tractiveness and increase the viability of this area as a focal point for the community. The ordinance we propose accomplishes this by allowing us to develop and apply certain guidelines govern- ing the use of public ways by vendors and for special events. The initial suggested guidelines are pared to a minimum because we feel that the less government regulates, the better. If, however, situations continually arise which adversely impact the public in general and the downtown area in particular, we can, under this proposed ordinance, make our policy more strin- gent to correct the problems. With this flexibility, we can be responsive to most of DMA's concerns." The following persons spoke in opposition'to this Ordinance.: 1. Ed Norris, President of DMA. 2. Rudy Juvan, Manager of J.C. Penney's. ' 3. Pete Sakala - Pitzelle's Ltd. 4. Attorney Harry McCabe, representing Pete Sakala. Mr. Richard Siever recommended the City institute a use fee, based. on sales volume perhaps the DMA could be involved in the review process for granting of a license. City Manager Arnold stated perhaps what was needed was better guidelines, but the Ordinance was needed to provide for the guide- lines. Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to deny Ordinance No. 75, and that the staff bring back a new or- dinance, after meeting with a committee of the DMA. Peas: Council - members Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED September 5, 1978 Ordinance Defeated Repealing of City Code ' Section Relating to Hawkers and Peddlers Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to deny Ordinance No. 83, 1978. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Providing for a One -Permit System Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item "Existing ordinances require that building contractors take out a permit for the structure and each subcontractor take out a separate permit for his portion of the job. i k We are proposing an ordinance change that would allow Limited and Unlimited Contractors to take out permits for work to be done by subcontractors at the time the building permit is ob- tained. This system would give the general contractor better control of the job and reduce bureaucratic "red -tape." Contractors were asked to comment on this proposal, and their response was favorable. Only four negative comments were re- ceived. i The mechanics of the system are fully explained in the attached memo from Bill Waldo. We recommend approval of this ordinance on first reading." Councilman Bloom made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkin- son to adopt Ordinance No. 87, 1978 on first reading. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. IMIZ -7 September 5, 1978 Ordinance Defeated on Second Reading The Hiatt Annexation Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "The first reading of this ordinance was passed by Council at its May 2 meeting. Second reading of the ordinance was tabled until staff could complete a greenhouse study. The problems with this annexation are due to a change of owner- ship during the annexation process. The present owner bought the property with the intent of expanding the existing green- house use, which he can do under the provisions of the FA-1 Farming District in the County. If the site is annexed, a non- conforming use with limited expansion potential would result unless the property were placed in an Industrial or Commercial District. There are no justifications for placing this area in either of those zones. Council asked staff to review current policies relating to green- houses and make a recommendation on what districts are appropriate for greenhouse uses. Staff completed their analysis, and both the Planning and Zoning Board and staff agree that greenhouses should be allowed as legal uses within all businesses, commercial and industrial zones, and within the R-H zone as part of a P.U.D. Under either our existing policy or the new recommendation, annex- ation of this parcel would make the greenhouse operation a non- conforming use with limited expansion potential. We therefore recommend that the annexation be denied on second reading and allow the property to remain in the County until it redevelops." Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bloom to deny Ordinance No. 46, 1978 on second reading. Yeas: Council - members Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. -11- September 5, 1978 Ordinance Adopted as Amended on First ' Reading Rezoning Buckeye -North Lemay Property Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "This item was tabled at the August 1st meeting at the request of the petitioner. This is a request to rezone 62 acres located on Buckingham Street west of North Lemay from T, Transition, to I-P, Industrial Park District. This portion of the East Vine Drive 5t-h Annexation was originally proposed for R-M-P zoning. The petitioner objected to this zoning because of the physical condition of the property, and Council placed the area in T classification to allow staff and the Planning and Zoning Board additional time to discuss the appropriate zone. Basically, the petitioner contends that the I-P zoning district is appropriate because: 1. The surrounding neighborhood is industrial. 2. The physical condition of the land makes it unsuitable for other than commercial or industrial purposes. , 3. The Industrial Park District is a restrictive indus- trial zone and provides protection to the quality of life in the adjacent residential pockets. Staff contends. that: 1. The character of the area is more defined by the existing residential uses in Buckingham, Alta Vista and Anderson- ville more than the rest of the surrounding area. 2. The lime deposits and settling ponds which contribute to the "physical" condition of the land only cover 10 of the 62 acres. In addition, our engineering staff does not feel these conditions are severe enough to effect land use determination. Staff has, however, re-examined their original recommendation. Their current recommendation is to zone the eastern 31 acres R-M-P and the western 31 acres I-P. Staff feels this zoning is responsive to both petitioner's needs and the concerns of resi- dents in the area. The Planning and Zoning Board voted 4-0 to approve staff's recommendation. We recommend approval of Ordinance No. 82 zoning this area in ' accordance with staff's recommendation." -12- September 5, 1978 ' Planner II, Paul Deibel made an oral presentation on the staff recommendation, and presented slides of the area. Mr. Steve Lauer, representing the petitioners stated the peti- tioners had not requested that the small area located north of Vine Drive be zoned, but rather that the area be withdrawn from the petition and remain in "T", Transition zoning. He spoke at great length in opposition to the staff recommendation. Former County Planner, Dwight Whitney spoke in support of zoning the entire 61 acre parcel, with the exception of the area north of Vine Drive in the IP, Industrial Park District. Attorney William Allen, representing Everitt Enterprises, owners of Parcel 3 in the zoning petition, stated that this area was unsuitable for residential zoning. Mr. Chris Ferguson, Real Estate Broker, spoke to the difficulties he foresaw in selling this property with residential zoning. Mayor Suinn then called for those people wishing to speak in opposition to the petitioners request to come forward. Mr. Les Cowell, 1.28 2nd Street spoke in opposition to the IP zoning for two reasons. (1) The desires of the residents in ' Buckingham not wishing to be surrounded by industrial zoning, and (2) the possibility of lowered property values, if this area is surrounded. Ms. Lou Stitzel, representing Neighbor to Neighbor Inc., stated that the City of Fort Collins, through their Community Devel- opment Block Funding has poured considerable amount of money into the area. She then referred to petitions signed by area residents in opposition to the IP zoning. Further, Ms. Stitzel spoke to the traffic problems in having trucks go into the Union Manufacturing Plant. Also, her knowledge of State Organizations who are interested in placing housing in the area. Attorney Charles Unfug, representing the petitioners, reported that since the original petition was submitted, requesting IP zoning for the entire area, the petitioners have now determined that they would prefer that the area north of Vine Drive, remain in "T", Transition. He had been informed by City Attorney Liley that there is a procedural technicality in the ordinance in doing that, as this request should have been requested nine days after the Planning and Zoning Board meeting, Council. could on its own motion do this. 1 -13- September 5, 1978 Councilman Bloom made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to amend Ordinance 82, 1978 on the first page by deleting in ' the first paragraph the words "and R-M-P, Medium Density Planned, Residential District!',by removing the heading in the second paragraph the words "R-M-P, Medium Density Planned Residential District", and by adding in the last line after the word "be- ginning", the following "excepting all that land therein north of the centerline of East Vine Drive". Mayor Suinn expressed his desire to allow one months time to elapse to see if whatever agencies are interested would come forth and indicate their intent regarding possible housing in the area. Attorney Unfug stated that Council must make a de- cision within 60 days of the petition for zoning. Mr. Gary Haxton of Everitt Enterprises informed Council that the land they own is not for sale, nor will it be for sale. City Attorney Liley stated this Ordinance had been tabled at the request of the petitioner and she would rule that that stopped the 60 day time period and Council would have an addi- tional 30 days, if Council desired to table for 30 days. Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn to table Ordinance No. 82, 1978 for 30 days. Yeas: Council - members Gray and Suinn. Nays: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling ' and Wilkinson. THE MOTION WAS DEFEATED. Mayor Suinn then put the original motion with the following votes: Yeas: Councilmen Bloom, Bowling and Wilkinson. Nays: Councilmembers Gray and Suinn. THE MOTION CARRIED. -14- �J September 5, 1978 Resolution Adopted of Intent to Annex Property Known as the West Prospect Street Fourth Annexation Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "This is a staff -initiated annexation of 35.9 acres located on Prospect Street east of Overland Trail. This parcel is totally surrounded by City land and is the last piece of the Brown Farm area. There is a covenant on this property which stipulates that it will be the last piece of Brown Farm to develop. If Council wishes to proceed with this annexation, the proper procedure is to pass the Resolution of Intent to annex the property. This resolution along with legal notice would then be published once a week for four weeks. After publication, Council would then consider passing a resolution setting forth the findings, facts, and conclusions regarding the annexations, and then pass the annexation and zoning ordinances at the next scheduled meeting.
