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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 110, 2013, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the General Fund for the Restorative Justice Program.

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. 114, 2013, Amending the Definition of Large Base Industry as Contained in Article 5 of the Land Use Code.

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. Page 7 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.

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.
