Plan Fort Collins: Phase 2 - Vision, Policy Choices, and Proposed Direction. (Staff: Joe Frank, Kathleen Bracke, Ken Waido; 2.5 hour discussion) The Plan Fort Collins planning process is currently midway through the second of three phases. Phase 2 started in mid-April and is scheduled to be concluded in September. Phase 2 focuses on refining the vision, policy choices, and preferred direction for the revisions to City Plan and the Transportation Master Plan by exploring a range of possible plan choices and reporting on the consequences and tradeoffs of the policy choice options to the community. The policy choices focus on ways the City can achieve the vision of a World Class Community, building upon previous planning efforts, addressing challenges and opportunities, and offering new ideas that were identified in Phase 1. The policy choices in the Vision, Policy Choices, and Proposed Directions (6/23/10) document have been evaluated using triple bottom line screening indicators that evaluate the costs and benefits of the choices in terms of economic sustainability, quality of life, and environmental stewardship. Over the next few months, the choices will be refined and narrowed to those that the City Council and community believes are the right directions for the community's future. These choices will serve as the foundation for writing a new City Plan and Transportation Master Plan that will begin this fall. 3. Other Business. 4. Adjournment.
