4. Oil and Gas Extraction Regulation and Mitigation within Fort Collins. (staff: Dan
Weinheimer; 45 minute discussion)
The City of Fort Collins seeks to update its land use regulations concerning oil and gas
exploration, and develop options for mitigating impacts upon the community. Staff
expects this will be a complex and controversial process that requires cooperation and
coordination with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), oil
and gas industry representatives, Fort Collins residents, and other interested stakeholders.
In order to ensure the resulting regulations match community expectations, an extensive
public engagement process is recommended.
Staff has formed a multidisciplinary team to address this project with a project manager
assigned from the City Manager’s office. Staff is gathering information about regulation,
meeting with other agencies and with stakeholders in the regulatory process, engaging
the resources of Colorado State University and others, and will engage residents in public
engagement. Staff seeks feedback from the City Council as to both process and areas of
desired regulation.
5. Other Business.
6. Adjournment.
