Ordinance No. 024, 2014 Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Keep Fort Collins Great Fund to Fund Further Development of the West Central Neighborhoods Plan, Adopted on First Reading Following is the staff memorandum for this item. “EXECUTIVE SUMMARY February 18, 2014 56 The purpose of this item is to appropriate $170,000 of KFCG Other Transportation Reserve funds for consulting services associated with the Transportation Element of the West Central Neighborhoods Plan. An update of the plan is scheduled for 2014. The requested funding enhances the overall planning effort by including an analysis of the neighborhood transportation network, consideration of growth on and around the Colorado State University campus, recommendations and strategies, and detailed corridor vision and design for Prospect Road between College Avenue and Shields Street. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The West Central Neighborhoods Plan (1999) generally encompasses the neighborhoods south and west of the Colorado State University (CSU) main campus. The planning area includes commercial and institutional uses as well as the highest residential density of any planning area in the City. In the time since the plan’s adoption, the area has developed and evolved. Additionally, CSU continues to grow its student population and expand on-campus facilities. In order to address these changing dynamics, Planning Services is scheduled to complete an update of the Plan in 2014. Preliminary conversations with area residents indicate significant concerns about transportation facilities and services, especially along the Prospect Road Corridor from College Avenue to Shields Street. The 2014 update of the West Central Neighborhoods Plan presents an opportunity to realize efficiencies by coordinating the neighborhood plan, circulation planning, and the design of this crucial segment of Prospect Road. By enhancing the transportation element of the plan and including preliminary design for this part of the Prospect Corridor, the needs and concerns of the neighborhood can be better addressed. At the same time, this project will inform a future corridor planning effort to address all seven miles of Prospect Road as contemplated by the Transportation Master Plan. An enhanced transportation element will also provide critical baseline data for assessing the impacts of a possible on-campus stadium. The transportation element will promote the development of a corridor and network that are functional, safe, and identifiable for pedestrians, bicycles, buses, and cars. The project will include a review of existing conditions, identifying and addressing data needs, establishing a transportation vision, coordinating with CSU regarding campus development and stadium impacts, recommending updates to existing network plans and policies, developing design alternatives for Prospect Road, evaluating alternatives, and producing a preliminary design (30% complete) for the preferred alternative corridor plan. FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACT This Ordinance appropriates $170,000 of KFCG Other Transportation Reserves for consulting services associated with the development of the Transportation Element. These funds will supplement the $135,000 previously approved by City Council for consulting services to update the land use, housing, and urban design elements of updating the Plan. February 18, 2014 57 By combining the transportation and corridor planning aspects of this project with the scheduled Plan update, a single consulting team may be used to serve both the land use and transportation needs. Considerable efficiencies will be realized by conducting a single program of public outreach and engagement, and by sharing data and design concepts between the land use and transportation modeling phases of the project. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The current transportation infrastructure in the planning area is subject to numerous deficiencies, including narrow or absent sidewalks and bike lanes, constrained segments, and lack of parking facilities. The Transportation Element will identify opportunities to improve the availability of modal choices and to manage automobile congestion. Both modal shift and congestion management are factors that contribute to improvements in greenhouse gas emissions and reductions in fossil fuel consumption. PUBLIC OUTREACH The recommendation to include transportation and corridor planning in the West Central Neighborhoods Plan update is a result of preliminary public feedback received by Planning Services. Once initiated, the project will include an extensive program of public engagement and opportunities for residents to participate in the planning and design process.” Councilmember Troxell expressed concern about the scope being too broad for the intended scope of the West Central Neighborhood Plan and asked about the cost of the Plan. Doug Brobst, 1625 Independence, stated this Plan does not extend far enough in analyzing impacts. He stated a citywide environmental, social, and economic impact study needs to occur. Mark Jackson, Planning, Development, and Transportation Services Deputy Director, stated this proposal is focused on addressing some of the pressures on sub-standard infrastructure in these neighborhoods and is not intended to be a citywide or overall analysis of the impacts of the proposed stadium. Councilmember Troxell asked what type of analysis would be completed to understand the transportation infrastructure needs. Jackson replied the West Central Neighborhoods transportation element is a feeder of information to a larger study. Councilmember Troxell asked about timing. Jackson replied the goal is to address all issues proactively and this study will address the more immediate impacts first, but does not preclude a more systemic evaluation with the CSU team and other affected parties. City Manager Atteberry noted there are three different topics: a stadium proposal, a campus growth plan, and the aforementioned Subarea Plan. He noted Council needs to be certain what this package entails and what it may not entail. February 18, 2014 58 Karen Cumbo, Planning, Development, and Transportation Services Director, stated this item is the transportation element of the Subarea Plan and noted the proposal for this project is not going to address the bigger picture issues of the CSU Master Plan or potential stadium impacts, except as it relates to the planning and preliminary design for Prospect. Councilmember Troxell expressed concern regarding ill effects of transportation issues should the stadium be built and stated expectations should be solidified with CSU prior to the arrival of said issues and their after effects. Mayor Weitkunat clarified this item was never intended to weigh the addition of the stadium. Cumbo stated it will provide a useful baseline for the conversations regarding possible necessary improvements, either because of the stadium or the growth of the south campus. Mayor Pro Tem Horak asked if the appropriation will be adequate to fund work on the land use, housing, and urban design elements of the Plan. Cameron Gloss, Planning Manager, replied the land use and urban design analyses will largely be completed by the City Planning staff. Mayor Pro Tem Horak asked how a stadium traffic analysis would interact with this planning element. Jackson replied that is one of the reasons staff wanted to accelerate the transportation element of the West Central Neighborhoods Plan. Mayor Weitkunat asked about the timeframe for the project. Gloss replied the draft will be completed in approximately one year and the land use scenarios and transportation modeling will be complete in approximately six months. Councilmember Cunniff requested a map of the area prior to Second Reading. Councilmember Campana suggested staff provide a summary of previous Subarea Plans, noting this Plan is not occurring simply because of the stadium. Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Troxell, to adopt Ordinance No. 024, 2014, on First Reading. City Attorney Roy read language amending the appropriate boundaries of the Plan area. Mayor Pro Tem Horak requested information regarding how the City interacts with CSU or other entities regarding infrastructure and utility improvements for large projects. The vote on the motion to adopt the Ordinance as amended was as follows: Yeas: Weitkunat, Campana, Cunniff, Overbeck, Troxell, Poppaw and Horak. Nays: none. THE MOTION CARRIED. Resolution 2014-015 February 18, 2014 59 Making Findings of Fact and Conclusions Regarding the Appeal of the December 17, 2013, Administrative Hearing Officer’s Decision Regarding the Stoner Subdivision, Adopted “EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On December 31, 2013 an appeal was filed concerning the Administrative Hearing Officer's decision regarding a proposed Major Amendment for Lot 2 of the Stoner Subdivision at 1017 West Magnolia Street. On February 4, 2014, City Council voted 5 - 1 on the motion to overturn the decision of the Hearing Officer concluding that the Hearing Officer failed to property interpret and apply Land Use Code Sections 3.5.1 and 4.7(A) in approving the Major Amendment because the proposed amendment was not compatible with the established architectural character of the adjacent neighborhood, particularly with regard to building bulk, mass, scale and rooflines. BACKGROUND The Major Amendment proposes amended building footprint and building elevations for the approved single-family detached dwelling on Lot 2 of the Stoner Subdivision. The Appellant’s Notice of Appeal was based on allegations that the Hearing Officer failed to properly interpret and apply relevant provisions of the Land use Code, specifically: 1. Article 3, Section 3.5.1 - Building and Project Compatibility 2. Article 4, Neighborhood Conservation, Low Density District (N-C-L), Section 4.7(A) - Purpose At the February 4, 2014 hearing on the matter, Council considered said appeal, reviewed the record on appeal, heard presentations from the Appellant and other parties-in-interest and, after discussion overturned the Decision.” (Secretary’s note: Councilmember Campana withdrew from the discussion of this item as he did not participate in the hearing due to a conflict of interest.) Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Poppaw, to adopt Resolution 2014-015. Councilmember Troxell discussed the diversity of the Old Town area and stated he would not support the motion. The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Cunniff, Overbeck, Poppaw, Horak and Weitkunat. Nays: Troxell. February 18, 2014 60 THE MOTION CARRIED. Resolution 2014-017 Appointing a City Councilmember to the Colorado State University Stadium Community Design Development Advisory Committee, Adopted The following is the staff memorandum for this item. “EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to appoint a member from Council to serve as the City’s representative on the Community Design Development Advisory Committee. BACKGROUND In 2012, Colorado State University (CSU) convened a Stadium Advisory Committee to examine the feasibility of building an on-campus stadium. A 15-person panel - the Stadium Advisory Committee - worked for seven months, including an extensive public input process, and delivered a report to President Tony Frank in August 2012 that identified a potential site, highlighted funding options, examined potential impacts, and captured public sentiment. While the Stadium Advisory Committee determined it was feasible to build a stadium on campus, President Frank ultimately decided CSU should move ahead with the project. In October 2012, the CSU System Board of Governors voted to affirm Dr. Frank’s recommendation to begin an effort to raise private support for at least half the cost of the stadium, as well as to begin detailed planning for the project. At present, CSU has begun detailed planning for the design of an on-campus stadium. As part of this process, the University is convening a Community Design Development Advisory Committee (CDDAC). This Committee is to review a range of development elements and impact -- such as parking, traffic, noise, lighting - and provide feedback as to how to address these issues and provide a high quality stadium for the University and the community. The CDDAC will include members representing a broad range of stakeholder interests, including: Faculty Staff Students Alumni Athletic Department Season ticket holders Neighbors/property owners south of Prospect February 18, 2014 61 Neighbors/property owners north of Prospect SOS Hughes City of Fort Collins Fort Collins Police Department Chamber of Commerce Community/Civic Leaders Be Bold CSU. The Committee will be chaired by Bob McCluskey, a business owner and former member of the Colorado House of Representatives and the Fort Collins’ City Council. The action before City Council is to appoint a member from Council to serve as the City’s representative on the Community Design Development Advisory Committee.” City Manager Atteberry discussed CSU’s proposed stakeholder process which would attempt to mirror or go above and beyond the City’s development review process for this project. He stated CSU would prefer the City to have two representatives involved, one from Police Services, and one other appointed by Council. Chris Marshall, 926 West Mountain, stated the debate and committee need to be more transparent and open. Linda Vrooman, 912 Cheyenne Drive, opposed the on-campus stadium and suggested a Councilmember be appointed to the committee. Jean Yule, 1109 Williams, supported two Councilmembers’ participation on the committee and opposed the on-campus stadium process. Bob Vangermersch, Fort Collins resident, supported the appointment of the Councilmember whose District is most negatively impacted by the proposed stadium. Doug Brobst, 1625 Independence, supported the appointment of two Councilmembers on the committee. Mel Hilgenberg, 172 North College, opposed the function of CSURF. Chester McQueary, 613 Princeton Road, supported the appointment of two representatives to the committee. Councilmember Campana made a motion to appoint Deputy City Manager Jones to the Colorado State University Stadium Community Design Development Advisory Committee. He stated this would enable the opinions of all Councilmembers to be heard. February 18, 2014 62 The motion died for lack of a second. Councilmember Poppaw made a motion to adopt Resolution 2014-017, appointing Councilmember Cunniff to the Colorado State University Stadium Community Design Development Advisory Committee. Councilmember Cunniff stated he would accept the appointment but suggested other interested Councilmembers state interest. Councilmember Poppaw withdrew her motion. Councilmember Cunniff supported the appointment of a Councilmember. Councilmember Campana stated the appointment of Deputy City Manager Jones would keep Councilmembers from attempting to influence the stadium decision. Councilmember Troxell supported the appointment of either Mayor Weitkunat or Mayor Pro Tem Horak. Councilmember Overbeck expressed interest in serving on the committee and provided a presentation regarding his concerns about the proposed stadium. Mayor Weitkunat expressed interest in serving on the committee. Mayor Pro Tem Horak suggested appointing Mayor Weitkunat as the representative with Councilmember Cunniff as an alternate, both of which could attend meetings. Councilmembers Cunniff and Troxell supported Mayor Pro Tem Horak’s suggestion. Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Troxell, to adopt Resolution 2014-017, appointing Mayor Weitkunat to the Colorado State University Stadium Community Design Development Advisory Committee and Councilmember Cunniff as an alternative representative. City Attorney Roy asked whether the Resolution needed to be clarified regarding voting versus non-voting representative. Councilmember Horak responded that it did not need further clarification and that it is a similar role to the DDA or the North Front Range. Mayor Pro Tem Horak stated the only power the Council holds lies in the power to influence and its only true power is related to utilities. Councilmember Troxell discussed the public-private partnership of the stadium issue. Mayor Weitkunat noted Council will continue to be robustly involved in the issue. February 18, 2014 63 Councilmember Campana asked if the committee meetings will be open to other Councilmembers as well as those appointed. Deputy City Manager Jones replied she has not received information regarding the meeting structure, but noted the meetings will be scheduled the first Monday of each month from 6-8 p.m. The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Cunniff, Overbeck, Poppaw, Troxell, Horak, Weitkunat and Campana. Nays: none. THE MOTION CARRIED. Other Business Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Campana, to adjourn to February 25, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. so that the Council may consider any additional business that may come before the Council, including a possible Executive Session.
