WORK SESSION
May 24, 2011
6 p.m.
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Update on the Fort Collins/Loveland (FNL Airport Business Plan and Update on Noise
Issues. (staff: Mike Freeman, Jason Licon-Airport Director; 50 minute discussion)
On October 6, 2009, Council adopted the first FNL Business Plan. The Business Plan
provides a framework to work in conjunction with the FNL Master Plan to provide a
long-term plan for managing the Airport. A Master Plan is required of all public airports
by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) while the business plan is optional and
addresses items not contained in the Master Plan such as a multi-year financial plan.
In addition to the Business Plan discussion, FNL staff will also present a short update on
efforts underway to monitor airplane noise and address concerns that have been raised by
neighborhoods surrounding the Airport.
3. City Council Workshop Follow-up. (staff: Darin Atteberry; 1 hour discussion)
City Council conducted a Workshop on May 6 and 7, 2011, where it identified key focus
areas for the next two years and discussed how to work together to achieve them. City
staff is incorporating information from the Workshop with other existing policy
r
,commitments to create a draft Two-Year City Council Work Plan. The draft plan is
designed to foster additional conversation about Council priorities and to provide
transparency for the public regarding the Council Workshop discussion. The draft plan
and presentation materials will be delivered to City Council on Monday, May 23.
4. Resetting the East Side and West Side Study. (staff: Karen Cumbo, Joe Frank, Steve
Dush; 1.5 hour discussion)
In January 2010, at the direction of City Council, staff initiated a study to examine
whether changes to existing regulations were warranted to address the compatibility of
new houses and additions in the East and West Side Neighborhoods. Several options
were discussed by City Council, and staff was directed to bring forward the Design
Assistance Program, Voluntary Design Assistance, and house size standards options.
These approaches were considered in extensive public outreach efforts and with City
Council throughout the year. On February 1, 2011, City Council approved, on Second
Reading, Ordinances No. 002 and 003, 2011, related to the East and West Side
Neighborhoods Design Standards Study.
On April 19, 2011, the City Council was presented with a referendum petition, seeking to
repeal Ordinance No. 003, 2011. At that meeting, City Council voted to repeal the
Ordinance, and directed staff to schedule a work session to discuss a new approach. The
City Code amendments and process adopted in Ordinance No. 002, 2011, (Landmark
Preservation Commission [LPC] voluntary design consultation and increase the
membership of the LPC to nine members) remain in place. Funding for the Design
Assistance Program was approved as part of the 2011-2012 Budget($40,000 each year).
This Agenda Item Summary describes potential problems, concerns .and issues for
"resetting" the East Side and West Side study. Based upon Council's feedback and
direction, staff will follow-up by June 10 with a detailed work plan, including any new
process, public outreach, schedule and budget.
