(staff: Bruce Hendee, Josh Birks; 10 minute staff presentation; 1 hour discussion) This item provides additional opportunity for public comment on the Midtown Urban Renewal Plan (Plan) adopted by City Council in September 2011, and particularly about the provision in the Plan that authorizes the use of eminent domain by the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority (URA). The Resolution does not modify the Plan or any related provision, but instead ratifies and confirms the prior approval of the Plan, as well as the specific provision in the Plan that authorizes the URA to use eminent domain subject to statutory and Plan requirements. The subject of amending the Plan to authorize the use of tax increment financing in the Foothills Mall area of the Plan, which the notices also included as part of the City Council’s hearing on this date, will be presented and considered separately from the other matters described in the notices. 4.
