SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 023, 2014 Vacating a Portion of the Fossil Boulevard Right-of-Way as
Dedicated on the Plat of Redtail.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to vacate a portion of the Fossil Boulevard right-of-way that is no longer necessary
or desirable to retain for public street purposes. The property owner adjacent to this portion of right-of-way is
requesting the vacation. This location will be the future site of the Redtail Ponds Permanent Supportive
Housing project (Redtail Second Filing) which was approved at the Planning and Zoning Board Public Hearing
on November 21, 2013.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 2006, the Redtail development project, located northwest of Harmony Road and Fossil Creek Parkway,
platted several lots and dedicated additional right-of-way for Fossil Boulevard. This portion of the Redtail
development was not constructed and this portion of the project’s approval has expired.
The Fort Collins Housing Authority has proposed a multifamily development project at this location and no
longer needs the Fossil Boulevard right-of-way to serve the development. The Fort Collins Housing Authority
has ownership of the adjacent land. All public and private utilities were notified of the proposed vacation and
they report no objections to the vacation request.
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACT
There are no financial impacts to the vacation of this portion of right of way.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
There are no environmental impacts to the vacation of this portion of right-of-way.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
A memorandum requesting input was sent to the utility providers and potentially impacted City departments.
The adjacent property owner and the person requesting the vacation are one in the same and thus no letters
were sent to adjacent property owners.
