WORK SESSION
January 24, 2012
after the Urban Renewal Authority Work Session
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Overview of the Art in Public Places Program. (staff: Marty Heffernan, Jill Stilwell,
Ellen Martin; 45 minute discussion)
Staff is presenting an overview of the Art in Public Places (APP) Program and how it
meets its purpose to encourage and enhance artistic expression and appreciation, and add
value to the Fort Collins community through acquiring, exhibiting, and maintaining
public art.
3. Sister Cities, Friendship Cities, and International Community Relationships. (staff:
Diane Jones, Ginny Sawyer; 30 minute discussion)
The City of Fort Collins is frequently contacted by international cities interested in
pursuing a relationship with Fort Collins. The City is also approached from time to time
by citizens interested in pursuing more formal relationships with international
communities. Currently, the City does not have a structure in which to evaluate these
requests or to determine what parameters or expectations would be involved.
January 24, 2012
There are a few different models utilizing varying amounts of resources, including Sister
Cities International (SCI), a Friendship City program, or a more generic, standard
response. By establishing a program and criteria, the City will be better poised to
respond to requests and benefit from the positive aspects of these relationships.
4. Planned Development Overlay District. (staff: Karen Cumbo, Megan Bolin; 1 hour
discussion)
The Planned Development Overlay District (PDOD) is a newly developed land use tool
designed to enhance the Land Use Code process to encourage infill development and
redevelopment. The PDOD provides applicants with some flexibility in land use and
design while, at the same time, raises the bar in terms of incorporating community
sustainability goals within the project. The PDOD is optional and applicants will
continue to have the ability to use the standard Land Use Code (LUC) development
process.
5. Other Business.
6. Adjournment.
