3. Urban Renewal Authority(URA)Board/North College Citizen Advisory Group(CAG)
Joint Session. (45 minute discussion)
Last July, the URA Board and the Citizen Advisory Group held their first annual joint
session to communicate roles and discuss policy issues for the North College Urban
Renewal Plan area. The substantive portion of the session focused on policy
development. The Board gave staff direction to return with a prioritized capital project
plan for the North College area. Staff has developed draft material for a proposed North
College Capital Improvements Funding Plan (NCIFP, Funding Plan) and is seeking
feedback from the URA Board and CAG. In addition,the Board directed staff, at the last
URA Board meeting, to create policies for "green building" procedures into URA tax
increment funded projects.
The purpose of presenting these two policies to the URA Board and CAG is to obtain
feedback on the proposed plans and gain support for future policy implementation.
4. North College Improvement Project Update: Phase II - Vine to Conifer. (45 minute
discussion)
The City of Fort Collins is in the final stages of the conceptual design phase for the North
College Corridor Improvements Project —`Phase II, from Vine Drive north to the
Hickory/Conifer intersection. The project was initiated in accordance with the voter-
approved Building on Basics (BOB) Capital Improvement Program. Additional project
funding has been secured by the City from the Colorado Department of Transportation
(CDOT) and North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).
The project schedule has been accelerated in response to requests from the North Fort
Collins Business Association (NFCBA) and area property/business owners. The total
project funding secured is approximately $5.6 million dollars, with an additional
$600,000 pending from the North Front Range MPO. The updated engineer's estimate
for the project is between $12 million and $15 million dollars depending on
improvements. Due to funding limitations, full build out of this project is planned to be
done in phases as funding becomes available. The City is continuing to seek additional
funding.
The purpose of presenting this project update to City Council work session is to gain
feedback on the recommended vision plan for and seek input on the proposed fiscally
constrained phasing plan. Staff is also seeking Council feedback on the potential use of
the remaining Truck Route funds for the North College project budget in order to further
extend the needed improvements along this state highway corridor and meet intended
construction schedule.
