8. Items Relating to Appropriations for Woodward Related Public Improvements.
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 098, 2013, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the
Capital Projects Fund and Authorizing the Transfer of Existing Appropriations from the
Natural Areas Fund to the Capital Projects Fund for Woodward Related Public
Improvements.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 109, 2013, Waiving the Application of the Art in Public
Places Requirements in Article XII of Chapter 23 of the City Code to Improvements
Constructed Pursuant to the City’s Agreement with Woodward, Inc., and the Downtown
Development Authority Regarding the Link-N-Green Development.
Council approved the public improvement portion of the Woodward incentive package in April 2013.
The City agreed to provide assistance for Woodward’s relocation, construction and expansion.
Ordinance No. 098, 2013 appropriates funding for the following projects:
Transmission Line Relocation $1,297,080
Right-of-Way Improvements 1,750,000
Open Space Improvements 3,500,000
$6,547,000
The projects will be funded through two sources: $6,047,080 from DDA contributions and $500,000
from 2013 appropriations existing in the Natural Areas Fund.
Ordinance No. 109, 2013, exempts the right-of-way improvements under the Woodward Agreement
from the requirement to contribute 1% to Art in Public Places because the contribution would not be
required if the developer were constructing the improvements and the City’s management of the right-
of-way improvement project is being provided as part of the Woodward incentive package. Both
Ordinances were unanimously adopted on First Reading on July 16, 2013.
9. Items Relating to the Completion of the 2013 Spring Cycle of the Competitive Process for Allocating
City Financial Resources to Affordable Housing and Community Development Activities Utilizing
Funds from the Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, and the City’s

Community Development Block Grant Fund.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 100, 2013, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the
Home Investment Partnerships Fund.
Ordinance No. 099, 2013 appropriates the City’s FY 2013 CDBG Entitlement Grant from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Ordinance No. 100, 2013 appropriates the
City’s FY 2013 HOME Participating Jurisdiction Grant from HUD. Both Ordinances were unanimously
adopted on First Reading on July 16, 2013.

10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 101, 2013, Calling a Special Municipal Election to Be Held in
Conjunction with the November 5, 2013 Larimer County Coordinated Election.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on July 16, 2013, calls a Special Municipal
Election to be held in conjunction with the November 5, 2013 Larimer County Coordinated Election,
and preserves the opportunity for Council to place initiated or referred issues on the November ballot.
If Council decides to place any measures on the ballot it would need to do so no later than at its
August 20 meeting. If Council does not take action by ordinance or resolution before the statutory
deadline (September 4) to certify ballot language to Larimer County, the election will be cancelled and
the provisions of this Ordinance will be of no further force and effect.
This Ordinance does not submit a specific measure to the November 5, 2013 ballot. However, a
group of citizens has been successful in collecting enough signatures on an initiative petition relating
to a moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing. Resolution 2013-072 Submitting a Proposed
Citizen-Initiated Ordinance to Place a Five-Year Moratorium on the Use of Hydraulic Fracturing Within
the City of Fort Collins or Under its Jurisdiction to Extract Oil, Gas, or Other Hydrocarbons and to
Store and Dispose of Its Waste Products at a Special Municipal Election to Be Held on November 5,
2013, In Conjunction with the Larimer County Coordinated Election will be considered on this agenda
as a Discussion item.
Adoption of this Ordinance is a required step in preserving the option for City Council to submit the
initiated ordinance, and/or any other ballot measures that Council may desire, at the November 5,
2013 Coordinated Election.
11. Items Relating to the Residential Parking Permit Program.
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 102, 2013, Establishing a Residential Parking Permit Zone
Program.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 103, 2013, Amending Various Provisions of the Fort
Collins Traffic Code.
The purpose of this item is to authorize the City Manager or a designee to implement residential
parking permit programs in neighborhoods with parking problems.
These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on July 16, 2013 establish a residential
parking permit program. City staff will develop administrative procedures for the program by working
with neighborhoods and residents. The Traffic Code ordinance is needed to make the program
enforceable. This program will be phased in over a two-year period as problem areas are identified
and residents request assistance.
12. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 104, 2013, Expanding the Boundaries of the Fort Collins
Downtown Development Authority and Amending the Plan of Development of the Authority.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on July 16, 2013, expands the boundaries
of the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and amends the Plan of Development
of the Authority to include a property in the 100 block of West Laurel Street and adjacent right-of-way

Bookstore (northeast corner of West Laurel and South Mason Streets).
13. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 105, 2013, Vacating a Portion of Lady Moon Drive Right-of-Way
as Dedicated on the Ricketts Harmony Minor Subdivision.
The purpose of this item is to vacate a portion of right-of-way along Lady Moon Drive that is no longer
necessary or desirable to retain for street purposes.
In 1993, the Ricketts Harmony Minor Subdivision, located southeast of Harmony Road and Lady
Moon Drive, platted two lots and dedicated additional right-of-way for Cambridge Avenue (now known
as Lady Moon Drive). Cambridge Avenue was realigned and constructed in its current alignment with
the approval of Harmony Technology Park Second Filing Development Plans on the west side of
Page 5
Cambridge Avenue, which left the portion to be vacated no longer necessary for street purposes.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on July 16, 2013, vacates this portion of Lady
Moon Drive.
The adjacent property owners have been contacted regarding this vacation and have no objections.
All public and private utilities have been notified of the proposed vacation and they report no
objections, provided the area is retained as a utility easement. With this Ordinance, the entire area
proposed to be vacated will be retained as a utility easement.
14. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 108, 2013, Amending the Land Use Code to Include Additional
Regulations for Development in Close Proximity to Oil and Gas Operations.
The purpose of this item is to establish requirements for proposed residential developments in close
proximity to existing oil and gas operations.
The proposed Land Use Code changes were unanimously adopted on First Reading on July 16,
2013. These changes establish a tiered approach to requirements for new residential developments
in close proximity to oil and gas operations. Disclosure to future residents is required for any
proposed oil and gas development within one thousand feet (1,000’) of an existing operation. If the
development is proposed to be closer than five hundred feet (500’) of an existing oil and gas
operation, additional screening and protection measures are required. If the subdivision is proposed
to be less than three hundred fifty feet (350’) from an existing operation, a Modification of Standard
would be required.
15. First Reading of Ordinance No. 110, 2013, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the General
Fund for the Restorative Justice Program.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate grant money to fund Restorative Justice Services within
Community Development and Neighborhood Services.
A grant in the amount of $45,000 has been received from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice
(DCJ) Juvenile Diversion fund for salaries associated with the continued operation of Restorative
Justice Services, which includes the RESTORE program for shoplifting offenses, and the Restorative
Justice Conferencing Program (RJCP) for all other offenses. Restorative Justice is an alternative
method of holding a young offender accountable by facilitating a meeting with the offender, the
victim/victim representative and members of the community to determine the harm done by the crime,
and how to repair the harm. By identifying and repairing the harm caused by the crime, Criminal
Justice Officials are optimistic repeat offenses by these youth will be reduced and the needs and
concerns of the victims and affected community will be addressed. A $7,440 cash match is required
and will be met by appropriating funds from the Community Development and Neighborhood Services
operating budget designated for restorative justice. Total required match is 25% so an additional
$7,560 in-kind match is designated from the Eighth Judicial Probation Department.
16. First Reading of Ordinance No. 111, 2013, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the General Fund

(CDNS) staff.

Transportation Services Fund for the Safe Routes to School Program and Transferring Appropriations
in the Keep Fort Collins Great Fund from the Operating Budget to the Grant Program.

grant for the Safe Routes to School Program.
The City of Fort Collins FC Moves Dept. has received a $22,700 federal grant through the Colorado

to enhance its pedestrian and bicycle safety education programs.
18. First Reading of Ordinance No. 113, 2013, Authorizing the City Manager to Extend the Term of the

e-Bill vendor, from October 23, 2013, to October 23, 2014, with the option to extend for additional one
year periods not to exceed four additional one-year renewals.
This extension will give the Fort Collins Utilities staff time to complete necessary research and
development for future e-Bill services, as well as support alignment of customer interface services
related to advanced meters and related customer software systems.
19. First Reading of Ordinance No. 114, 2013, Amending the Definition of Large Base Industry as
Contained in Article 5 of the Land Use Code.
This Ordinance amends the definition of Large Base Industry in the Land Use Code to expand the
types of firms that may qualify beyond manufacturing to also include firms that provide products or
services for local and regional users that are not manufactured but are of comparable economic value
to manufactured goods, or by establishing corporate offices.
20. First Reading of Ordinance No. 115, 2013, Extending Ordinance No. 024, 2013, Which Amended the
Land Use Code by the Addition of a Temporary Planned Development Overlay Zone District for One
Additional Year.
The purpose of this item is to extend the pilot for the Planned Development Overlay District for one
additional year.
This Ordinance would provide for an additional twelve months for the Planned Development Overlay
District (PDOD) pilot. The PDOD is a unique zoning mechanism designed to address the challenges
of infill and redevelopment, blending the concepts of Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) and
performance-based zoning. The pilot was originally established by Ordinance No. 24, 2013 and
provided a six-month timeframe to accept PDOD development submittals; it is currently set to expire
on September 9, 2013. However, Ordinance No. 024, 2013 provided City Council the ability to extend
the pilot in the event that an insufficient number of PDOD projects were submitted. Since there have
been no submittals and none are expected within the remaining month of the pilot, Council is asked
to consider extending the pilot by an additional year.
21. First Reading of Ordinance No. 116, 2013, Authorizing Acquisition by Eminent Domain Proceedings
of Certain Lands Necessary to Construct Public Improvements in Connection with the Kechter Road
and Timberline Road Intersection Improvements Project.
The purpose of this item is to obtain authorization from City Council to use eminent domain, if
deemed necessary, to acquire property interests needed to construct improvements at the Kechter
Road and Timberline Road intersection.
The Kechter Road and Timberline Road Intersection Improvements will construct interim safety and
congestion mitigation improvements at the intersection. The project is planned to begin construction
in the spring of 2014 and be completed within sixty (60) days. To construct these improvements, the
City will need to acquire certain property interests adjacent to the project area. The acquisitions
include right-of-way and a permanent easement from owners of the property at the southeast corner
of the intersection. Timely acquisition of the property is necessary to meet the anticipated
construction schedule. Staff fully intends to negotiate in good faith with the affected owners and is
optimistic that all property negotiations can be completed prior to the start of the Project. Staff is
requesting authorization of eminent domain for all property acquisitions for the Project only if such
action is deemed necessary.

22. First Reading of Ordinance No. 117, 2013, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent Domain
Proceedings of Certain Lands Necessary to Construct Public Improvements in Connection with the
North College Improvements Project – Conifer to Willox Access Road.
The purpose of this item is to obtain authorization from City Council to use eminent domain, if
deemed necessary, to acquire property interests needed to construct rear access road improvements
associated with the North College Improvement Project – Conifer to Willox.
This project will construct an access road on the west side of College Avenue between Hickory Street
and the mobile home park located at 1601 North College Avenue. During the conceptual design
process of the project, raised, landscaped medians were included as a critical project component to
accomplish the goals of improving the urban character and safety of the corridor.
Raised medians are a part of both the City’s Master Street Plan and the US 287/SH 14 Access
Management Report. Because the raised medians limit left turn access to many of the properties
along the Project, the plans have also identified the need for new access roads along the rear of the
properties. The project is planned to begin construction as soon as possible in 2014, depending on
the timing of the property acquisition. To construct these improvements, the City will need to acquire
certain property interests adjacent to the project area. The acquisitions include permanent
easements and temporary easements. Timely acquisition of the property interests is necessary to
meet the anticipated construction schedule. Staff fully intends to negotiate in good faith with all
affected owners and is optimistic that all property negotiations can be completed prior to the start of
the Project. Staff is requesting authorization of eminent domain for all property acquisitions for the
Project only if such action is deemed necessary.
23. First Reading of Ordinance No. 118, 2013, Authorizing the Lease of City-owned Property at 328 West
Mountain Avenue and 108 North Meldrum Street to Poudre Landmarks Foundation, Inc.
The purpose of this item is to continue leasing the Avery House and Carriage House.
Poudre Landmarks Foundation (“The PLF”) wishes to continue leasing from the City the Avery House
and the Carriage House, located at 328 West Mountain Avenue and 108 North Meldrum Street,
respectively. The term of the Lease shall be for fifteen (15) years. The yearly lease payment will be
$25 or $375 for the full term of the lease. The PLF maintains the interior of the buildings and the City
will continue to pay all utility costs, as budgeted.
24. Resolution 2013-069 Authorizing the Assignment of the City’s Private Activity Bond Allocation for 2013
to the Fort Collins Housing Authority to Finance Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds for the Villages
on Plum and Villages at Cunningham Corner Projects.
The purpose of this item is to assign the City’s 2013 Private Activity Bond Allocation to the Fort Collins
Housing Authority.
The City has been notified that it has an allocation of a portion of the State ceiling Private Activity
Bonds (PAB) for 2013 in the amount of $6,962,218. The City received a request from the Fort Collins
Housing Authority (FCHA) for the assignment of the City's 2013 Allocation for the purpose of
affordable housing rehabilitation. Specifically, these funds will be used to finance the rehabilitation of
95 affordable housing rental units located in the Village on Plum project, and any remaining funds will
be carried over for the rehabilitation of additional specific affordable housing projects.
Annually, the state allocates a portion of its ceiling for PAB to the City. If the City does not use or
assign this allocation, it is returned to the state on September 15. The City has not received any other
requests for the 2013 Allocation.
25. Resolution 2013-070 Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Fort Collins and

26. Resolution 2013-073 Approving an Agreement Between the City and Custom Blending, Inc., to
Provide Business Investment Assistance.
The purpose of this item is to request business assistance to Custom Blending, a primary Fort Collins
employer, by means of tax rebates of $43,500 over a 7-year period.
Custom Blending, Inc., a primary employer in Fort Collins, CO, is seeking assistance of $43,500 for
the expansion of its facility. The Custom Blending expansion will consist of adding an additional
34,000 square feet to its existing facility and making substantial equipment purchases, representing
a total investment of approximately $5.9 million and adding an additional 16 full-time jobs with
average annual salaries between $45,000 - $47,000.
Based on information provided by Custom Blending representatives, City staff is estimating a potential
business assistance package of approximately $43,500, which includes $31,100 in manufacturing
use tax rebates and $12,400 in personal property tax rebates (over a 7-year depreciable useful life).
Both investments relate to revenues the City would not otherwise collect if the expansion did not occur
within the city. In terms of evaluating the investment agreement, the ratio of private investment to
total public investment is $138:$1, or $2,719 per job. Additional savings that could not be estimated
but could be provided include utility efficiency performance incentive and the Fort Collins Solar
Program.

The purpose of this item is to propose minimum parking requirements for multi-family dwellings in the

At the July 9, 2013 Joint Work Session of City Council and Planning and Zoning Board, direction was
given to implement interim minimum parking requirements for multi-family dwellings in the TOD
Overlay Zone, while maintaining that the long-term vision for the TOD should stay intact. At the
August 8, 2013 Planning and Zoning Board Hearing, the Board recommended revising the Land Use
Code (LUC) to require minimum ratio of 60% - 70% parking spaces to the proposed number of
bedrooms, a provision to meet the standard through alternative compliance, and a one year sunset
in which time a TOD Parking Plan will be created. Accordingly, the City Council will need to select the
ratio and fill in the blank on page 2 of the Ordinance.
