The Housing Affordability Policy Study began in January 2014. Denver based Economic & Planning

3. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Parking Study. (staff: Seth Lorson, Laurie Kadrich; 10 minute
staff presentation; 1 hour discussion)
The purpose of this work session is to discuss with Council the recommended alternatives from the
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Parking Study.
The Study follows the adoption of the temporary parking ordinance (Ordinance No. 121, 2013)
creating minimum parking requirements in the TOD Overlay Zone which expires in September 2014.
Staff has conducted extensive public outreach and research on national best practices as part of the
Study to date. We have heard consistent feedback from the community that, although the City’s
vision for walkable and transit-oriented infill and redevelopment is commendable, and vehicles may
not be needed for routine trips, residents still own cars and, therefore, vehicle storage and access
needs to be accommodated.
Both the Planning and Zoning Board and the Parking Advisory Board unanimously recommended
adopting the TOD Parking Study with the following recommendations:
Create minimum parking requirements that vary according to land use;
Allow for alternative compliance based on a Parking Impact Study and/or a
Transportation Demand Management program;
On-street paid parking with the newest management technology; and
Public-private partnerships for parking structures.
Based on direction received from Council, Staff will propose for adoption the TOD Parking Study and
revisions to the Land Use Code at the August 19 and September 2, 2014 Council meetings.
4. 7th Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Timnath and the City of
Fort Collins. (staff: Laurie Kadrich; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide planned and orderly development of urban services along the
I-25 Corridor and to establish appropriate Growth Management and Influence Areas to support such
development.
