RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council adopt Option 2 (Complimentary Review) of Ordinance No. 004, 2005 on First Reading for the Landmark Preservation Commission and for any of the other boards and commissions whose duties should, in Council's opinion, be expanded. If Council instead adopts Option 1 (Advise the Decision Maker) of the Ordinance, staff recommends Administrative Option A be used to support the boards and commissions in that process. If Council wishes to expand the duties and functions of some, but not all, of the boards and commissions listed in the Ordinance, it should delete those sections of the Ordinance that amend the duties and functions of the boards and commissions in question. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council gave staff direction at the October 26, 2004 Study Session to bring forward for Council's consideration ordinances and other materials that would provide options for expanding the role of certain City boards and commissions in the development review process. This item does the following: (1) it identifies five boards and commissions that would be authorized to become involved in the development review process; (2) it presents Council with two optional amendments to the duties and functions of those boards and commissions; and (3) it provides two administrative alternatives as to how Option 1 of the Ordinance should be implemented by City staff if that is the version of the Ordinance that Council selects. Council should decide which, if any of the boards and commissions listed in the ordinance should be given a role in the development review process, and then indicate which, if either, of the optional ordinances to adopt. Both options would empower the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) to provide "complimentary design review" to applicants under Chapter 14 of the City Code. If Option 1 of the Ordinance is adopted, Council should also give direction to staff, by motion, as to how staff should support the boards and commissions that are authorized to become involved in the development review process. The administrative model chosen by Council will then be reflected in revisions to the City's Development Manual. January 4, 2005 -2- Item No. 18 BACKGROUND Currently, the scope of official duties of the City's various boards or commissions are each separately defined in the City Code sections that establish each board or commission. If a board or commission acts within the scope of its official duties, its members are protected by the City against legal challenges. However, if they act outside the scope of their official duties, the City is not obligated to indemnify them against any legal actions that may arise from their actions. The City of Fort Collins has twenty-six separate boards and commissions, but only a few were suggested for consideration of being given an expanded role in development review. These few boards or commissions are those whose duties most directly relate to the physical characteristics of the community: • Natural Resources Advisory Board, • Transportation Board, • Air Quality Advisory Board, • Affordable Housing Board, and, • Landmark Preservation Commission. These are the boards and commissions that are included in the Ordinance. Issues Proponents of providing a development review role for policy advisory boards offer several reasons to support the change, including: • The Land Use Code includes provisions for granting modifications and variances to defined standards the policy boards helped develop; therefore, these boards would have a chance to comment if the standard is being modified; Some members of policy boards have significant special expertise that may benefit the project and review process; • Involvement of policy boards at an early stage of the project may identify and resolve issues that might otherwise result in greater costs and delays (such as having the project appealed to Council) if board members are not aware of the project until much later in the review process; • Policy board members represent important elements of the community and these values should be reflected in the review process; • Policy board involvement could provide a means to help ensure the consistency and quality of staff review work. Opponents of providing a development review role for advisory boards offer several reasons to oppose the change, including: January 4, 2005 -3- Item No. 18 • Policy boards are appointed to advise Council on development of policy and this legislation — this function should be kept separate from the quasi-judicial development review process where regulations are applied to specific projects; • Adding additional boards to the review process increases the complexity of the review process and has the potential to add increased staff support costs and project delays; • There is no assurance that policy board members have the appropriate skills and expertise to provide consistent review comments on projects; • Policy boards are often perceived to be aligned with certain distinct values sets in the community, and their involvement has the potential to unduly politicize the review process. The significance of each of these arguments for and against providing policy boards an expanded role in the development review process may depend in part on the administrative model used to support such an expanded role. Code Changes Ordinance No. 004, 2005, would amend the duties and functions of each of the above-referenced boards and commissions in order to authorize them to become involved in the development review process. Option 1 of the Ordinance would authorize board and commission review of all project development plans and would allow each affected board or commission to make recommendations to the Director of Community Planning and Environmental Services or the Planning and Zoning Board (the Decision Maker in Type 1 and Type 2 reviews) regarding any issues or concerns raised by a particular project development plan. Option 2 of the Ordinance would not afford the boards and commissions an opportunity to make recommendations to the Director or the Planning and Zoning Board regarding a project development plan. Instead, it would authorize the boards and commissions to provide feedback directly to any applicant regarding that applicant's project development plan if the board or commission was requested to provide such feedback by either the applicant or by City staff. Administrative Options At the October 26, 2004 Study Session, staff identified various administrative models that would provide support for providing policy boards an expanded role in development review. If Council adopts Option 1 of the Ordinance (which would allow boards or commissions to make recommendations to the Decision Maker regarding project development plans), then two administrative options exist: January 4, 2005 -4- Item No. 18 Administrative Option A: • The board or commission would receive notice of all new development projects and could attend neighborhood meetings; • Board and commission members could seek project information from the project planner or the applicant as neighborhood residents can; • No additional staff support or project review activities would be provided to the board or commission by City staff; • Board members could make a formal recommendation to the Decision Maker at the public hearing on the plan. Administrative Option B - same as Administrative Option 1 except: • Staff would identify the project development plans that would likely be of interest to each board or commission and send notice to the boards and commissions only of those plans; • A majority of board members could request that other projects be brought for board or commission review; If Option 2 of the Ordinance is adopted, then the administrative process would be as follows: • Staff or applicant could elect to bring a specific project to the policy board for complimentary review; • Board or Commission review would be informal; • Staff and/or applicant could incorporate board or commission advice at their discretion; • No formal communication by board or commission directly to the Decision Maker. These options are outlined greater in detail in the Options Matrix contained in Attachment 1. Board and Commission Recommendations Staff reviewed this issue and these options with a number of Boards. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended no change from existing practice. The Natural Resources Advisory Board Recommended Option 1 of the Ordinance with Administrative Option B. The Air Quality Advisory Board recognized that the Land Use Code does not contain any project specific air quality standards by which the Board could evaluate projects; as a result, there is not January 4, 2005 -5- Item No. 18 an appropriate role for the Air Quality Advisory Board in the development review process. However, the Board indicated that it would be of value for other boards, such as the NRAB, to have a role in the process. The Board also expressed a desire to develop site specific air quality standards to be included in the Land Use Code. Transportation Boardmembers indicated they would like to have a role in the development review process, and recommended Option 1 of the Ordinance, with Administrative Option A. The Affordable Housing Board recommended no change to existing practices, not only with regard its own involvement in the development review process, but also that of all other policy boards. The Landmark Preservation Commission recommended adding the development review function to its official duties (Option 2). At its September 28, 2004, study session, Councilmembers specifically discussed the roles and responsibilities of the Landmark Preservation Commission and indicated their support for amending the Commission's duties and functions to allow staff to seek comments from the LPC on projects involving historic properties reviewed under the Land Use Code (e.g. Option 2). The LPC is unique among the City's boards and commissions as the only board with specific requirements for a certain level of expertise in architecture, historic preservation, or related disciplines. These requirements result from the City's status as a federally Certified Local Government. In addition, the LPC is the only quasi-judicial board being considered for expanded development review functions and is very familiar and comfortable with the roles, procedures and regulations of the Land Use Code pertaining to historic preservation. The LPC recommended adding the development review function to its official duties. Staff Recommendation At the October 26, 2004 Study Session, staff recommended no change from existing practices. At present, staff recommends adding the development review function (Option2) to the duties of the Landmark Preservation Commission. Additionally, if Council wants to provide an expanded role for any of the boards listed above; staff recommends that Option 2 of the Ordinance be adopted and that the same administrative model (Option A) be used for all affected boards and commissions.
