2. Urban Renewal Authority (URA) County Fiscal Impact Model. Expansion of the North
College Avenue Urban Renewal Plan Boundary and Tax Increment Sharing with Larimer
Coun . (1 hour discussion)
The City Council, sitting as the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority Board of
Commissioners,will review a fiscal impact model designed to calculate the financial impacts
to Larimer County of development within the City limits for an area proposed to be added
into an Urban Renewal Plan(URP)area. The model provides data for the area both with and
without a URP to measure the impacts of placing the area into a URP on County costs to
provide services. The URA Board will also be asked to provide direction to staff regarding
a proposed expansion of the North College URP area and whether or not increased property
tax increment collected from the area should be shared with the County.
3. The Proposed Boxelder Stormwater Master Plan and Intergovernmental Agreement.
(1 hour discussion)
In 2004,Council adopted the Stormwater Master Plan for the various drainage basins in the
City. This master plan did not include that portion of Boxelder Creek east of I-25 and
identified the need for a regional approach in that area. The Town of Wellington, Larimer
County, the City of Fort Collins and representatives from several other agencies formed a
team known as the Boxelder Alliance. The Alliance provided funding for the development
of a regional master plan. That proposed master plan was completed in late 2006.
In addition to the opportunities to enhance the riparian habitat and address erosion along
Boxelder Creek identified in the 2004 Master Plan, the proposed 2006 Master Plan
recommends$14.7 million in regionally funded flood control projects for the Boxelder Creek
Basin.
For the past year, the participating jurisdictions have been working on potential ways to
implement the regional improvements. The Alliance believes the funding of the regional
improvements could be best accomplished through the execution of an intergovernmental
agreement(IGA)between the participating jurisdictions to create an authority to fund, own
and maintain the regional improvements.
Pending City Council direction on this matter, staff will bring an IGA and the proposed
Master Plan to City Council for consideration; tentatively scheduled for July 1, 2008.
Larimer County and the Town of Wellington are considering this item at work sessions and
regular meetings in generally the same time frame.
