November 6, 2012 Regular Meeting.
7. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 119, 2012, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the General
Fund to the Fort Collins Housing Authority to Fund Affordable Housing and Related Activities.
The Fort Collins Housing Authority paid the City of Fort Collins $15,457 as the 2010 and 2011
payments for public services and facilities. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading
on November 6, 2012, refunds the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) to fund sorely needed
affordable housing related activities and to attend to the low-income housing needs of Fort Collins
residents.
8. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 120, 2012, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue from
Great Outdoors Colorado in the Conservation Trust Fund for the Fossil Creek Trail at County Road
38E Project.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012, appropriates the grant
payment received from Great Outdoors Colorado for the construction of the Fossil Creek Trail at
County Road 38E project. Great Outdoors Colorado awarded the City a Special Opportunity Grant
for the completion of the Fossil Creek Trail from north of Cathy Fromme Prairie to the Spring Canyon
Community Park. Construction of the project was completed this past spring.
9. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 121, 2012, Amending the City Code to Increase the Amounts of
the Capital Improvement Expansion Fees Contained in Chapter 7.5 of the City Code so as to Reflect
Inflation in Associated Costs of Services.
The City Code requires annual adjustments to certain building permit related fees. Capital
Improvement Expansion fees and Neighborhood Parkland fees are to follow the changes in the
Denver-Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price Index (CPI). Street Oversizing fees are adjusted by the
changes posted in the Engineering News Record (ENR). The CPI has increased 1.8% and the ENR
has increased 1.6%. Additionally the Code is being updated to reference to the most recent
amended manual, The ITE Trip Generation Manual, 8th Edition, 2008. This Ordinance was
unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012.
10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 122, 2012, Amending Chapter 15 of the City Code Pertaining to
Contractor Licenses.
Community Development and Neighborhood Services is responsible for the enforcement of the
contractor licensing requirements found in Chapter 15 of the City Code. This Ordinance, unanimously
adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012, amends the current Code by:
• clarifying minimum experience and qualification requirements at the application stage
• creating license categories that better align with the adopted residential and commercial
building codes
• streamlining the application and project verification process
• establishing registration requirements for the currently non-licensed category of workers
• increasing minimum liability amounts to recognized industry levels.
11. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 123, 2012 Amending Section 24-91 of the City Code Regarding
the Naming of Arterial and Collector Streets.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012, amends the City Code
relating to naming new arterial and collector streets so that City Council ,rather than the developer,
would select the name of the new street.
12. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 124, 2012, Amending Section 2-427 of the City Code Relating to
Membership of the Transportation Board.
The Transportation Board currently consists of eleven members appointed by the City Council, and
is one of the larger advisory boards. At the end of 2012, the terms of four members will expire. One
Page 4
of those members is not eligible for reappointment because that member has met the Council-
adopted two term limit. Another member is eligible but is not interested in reappointment. This
provides an opportunity for Council to consider changes to the size of the Board without negatively
impacting any current members. This opportunity was presented to the Board by staff, and the Board
voted to recommend that the Council reduce the size from eleven to nine members. This Ordinance,
unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012, amends the City Code to reduce the
size of the Board to nine members.
13. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 125, 2012 Amending Section 26-543 of the City Code to Update
the Stormwater Master Drainage Plans to Include Basin-Specific Water Quality Best Management
Practices and Stream Restoration.
The City of Fort Collins’ Stormwater Master Plan has been updated to include stormwater quality and
stream restoration projects, alongside the already identified stormwater flood control projects. This
Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012, incorporates basin-specific
water quality best management practices and stream restoration and stability improvements in the
form of updates to the existing City drainage master plan to promote the purposes of the Stormwater
Utility and advance the holistic and integrated management of stormwater in Fort Collins.
14. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 126, 2012, Authorizing the Conveyance of City-owned Property
Known as the Maxwell Farm and Related Water Rights Subject to a Conservation Easement and
Authorizing a Related Raw Water Transfer Agreement.
The Natural Areas Department (NAD) purchased the 137-acre Maxwell Farm, along with 12 shares
of North Poudre Irrigation Company (NPIC) water, with the intent of placing it under a conservation
easement to help conserve a buffer between Fort Collins and Wellington; protect the open space and
scenic values adjacent to I-25; and, sell it as an agricultural property with limited development rights.
The land has been leased to Larry Maxwell, the previous owner, for farming and livestock feeding
since the initial purchase in 2009.
Natural Areas and Utilities have worked out an agreement for the NAD to sell eleven of the twelve
NPIC shares to Utilities for approximately 50% of the estimated market value, which is $14,000 per
share (based on recent sales information from NPIC). In exchange, Utilities will enter into a raw water
transfer agreement with the buyer of Maxwell Farm, and per the terms of the agreement, Utilities will
transfer the equivalent of eleven shares of NPIC water on an annual basis to the Maxwell Farm in
perpetuity. The advantage to Utilities is that water decreed solely for agricultural use derived from
other Utilities-owned NPIC shares, can be substituted for water decreed for municipal use derived
from the eleven NPIC shares, which Utilities can use. The buyer will purchase the remaining share
of NPIC water as it is a NPIC policy that a farm must own at least some NPIC water in order to
receive any rented or transferred water. The single NPIC share to be owned by the buyer will also be
tied to the land by the conservation easement agreement. This Ordinance was unanimously adopted
on First Reading on November 6, 2012.
15. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 127, 2012, Authorizing the Conveyance of City-owned Property
Known as the Vangbo Property Subject to a Conservation Easement.
The Vangbo Property was purchased by the Natural Areas Department (NAD) in 2005 with the intent
to place a conservation easement on the property to conserve the open space and scenic values
along the I-25 corridor and then sell it as an agricultural property with limited development options.
The land is currently leased to Alison Person, a neighboring landowner, for grazing. This Ordinance,
unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012, authorizes the conveyance of the 105-
acre Vangbo property and associated ditch and water rights with a reserved conservation easement
to Alison Person for $300,000. The conservation easement does not allow any future development,
but does give the landowner the option to request the purchase of one building envelope on the
property from a future City Council. The undeveloped portion would remain in agricultural use.

16. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 128, 2012, Authorizing the Conveyance of a Non-Exclusive
Drainage Easement on City Property to Cloud Peak Ranch, LLC.
Cloud Peak Ranch, LLC is planning a 39.53 acre residential development called Mail Creek Crossing
PLD/PD, located just north of Bacon Elementary School on South Timberline Road. This
development will require the construction of off-site stormwater outfall improvements on adjacent
property to the north in order to connect with a stormwater pipe in Kechter Road. The alignment of
these improvements will cross the northwest corner of a property owned by the City’s Social
Sustainability Department. The City’s 16-acre property was purchased in 2006 as a Land Bank
property and is currently leased as a residential/horse property. This Ordinance, unanimously
adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012, authorizes the conveyance of a 2,346 square foot
non-exclusive drainage easement from the City in the northwest corner of the City property adjacent
to Kechter Road to facilitate the installation of the planned improvements.
17. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 129, 2012, Authorizing the Conveyance of a Non-Exclusive Utility
Easement on City Property to the Nunn Telephone Company.
Nunn Telephone Company (NTC) currently provides telephone and internet services to portions of
northwest Weld County and northeast Larimer County. With an increase in demand from their
customers for broadband services, NTC has begun upgrading copper based telephone lines to fiber
optic broadband lines. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012,
authorizes the conveyance of a utility easement to NTC from the City across a portion of Meadow
Springs Ranch in order to install approximately 7.0 miles of fiber optic line as part of this upgrade
project. The proposed easement alignment would follow an abandoned state highway now used by
the City as an access road to the City’s property.
18. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 130, 2012, Amending the Land Use Code by Designating Certain
Types of Multi-family Housing Development Projects as Being Subject to Planning and Zoning Board
Review.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2012 amends the Land Use
Code (LUC) to require larger multi-family housing developments (50 dwelling units, or 75 bedrooms)
to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board (Type 2). A Type 2 review requires that the
developer hold a pre-submittal neighborhood meeting. The benefit to the neighborhood meeting is
that the public is given an opportunity to provide input on a project while it is still in the early stages
of development. In recent months a large amount of multi-family housing developments have been
appealed by concerned citizens to Council based on the assertion that the projects are not compatible
with adjacent neighborhoods. This procedural change seeks to provide more opportunity for the
public to participate in the development review process for multi-family housing projects.
19. Items Relating to the 2012 Fall Cycle of the Competitive Process for Allocating City Financial
Resources to Affordable Housing and Community Development Activities Utilizing Funds from the
Federal Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Programs, and the
City’s Affordable Housing Fund.
A. Public Hearing and Resolution 2012-105 Approving the Programs and Projects that Will
Receive Funds from the Federal Community Development Block Grant and HOME
Investment Partnership Programs, and the City’s Affordable Housing Fund.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 131, 2012, Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriations
Between Program Years in the Community Development Block Grant Fund.
This Resolution will complete the 2012 fall cycle of the Competitive Process for allocating $1,670,130
in City financial resources to affordable housing projects and public facility activities. Ordinance No.
131, 2012, reappropriates Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds that have been
returned to the program for allocation in the fall 2012 Competitive Process.

20. First Reading of Ordinance No. 132, 2012, Amending Section 2-237 of the City Code Relating to
Membership of the Golf Board.
The Golf Board currently consists of nine members appointed by the City Council. At the end of 2012,
the terms of three members will expire. Two of those members are eligible for reappointment but did
not reapply for reappointment. One member did apply for reappointment. This provides an
opportunity for Council to consider changes to the size of the Board without negatively impacting any
current members. This opportunity was presented to the Board by staff, and the Board voted to
recommend that the Council reduce the size from nine to seven members. This Ordinance amends
the City Code to reduce the size of the Board to seven members.
21. First Reading of Ordinance No. 133, 2012, Amending Section 2-500 of the City Code Pertaining to
a City Service Area.
The City’s Charter provides that service areas are provided by ordinance upon the recommendation
of the City Manager. This Ordinance amends the City Code, per the City Manager’s recommendation,
to create a Planning, Development, and Transportation Service Area, reflecting changes in roles and
reporting relationships.
22. First Reading of Ordinance No. 134, 2012, Amending Various Provisions of the Fort Collins Traffic
Code.
The Colorado General Assembly amended certain statutory provisions this legislative session relating
to state traffic laws. This Ordinance ensures that the Fort Collins Traffic Code (the “Traffic Code”)
is consistent with state traffic laws.
During a review of the statutory changes, staff identified additional amendments that would make the
Traffic Code more consistent and provide more effective and efficient local enforcement.
23. Items Relating to the Kechter Crossing Annexation.
A. Resolution 2012-106 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the
Kechter Crossing Annexation.
B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 135, 2012, Annexing Property Known as the
Kechter Crossing Annexation.
C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 136, 2012, Amending the Zoning Map of the City
of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Kechter
Crossing Annexation.
This is a request to annex and zone 28.9 acres located on the south side of Kechter Road,
approximately 900 feet east of the intersection of South Timberline Road and Kechter Road. This
annexation is not associated with the proposed Kechter Farm development, which is located
southeast of the Kechter Crossing Annexation. The Kechter Crossing Annexation does not create
an enclave.
The surrounding properties are existing residential land uses currently zoned FA-1 – Farming Zoning
District in Larimer County to the north, south, and west. Adjacent to the east is a City-owned property
that is part of the affordable housing Land Bank program, which was annexed and zoned Low Density
Mixed–Use Neighborhood (L-M-N) on September 4, 2012. The Kechter Crossing Annexation is not
proposing affordable housing as part of the approved County plan.
24. Resolution 2012-107 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings for the
Hansen Farm Annexation.
The applicant and property owner, HTC, LLC (McWhinney), has submitted a written petition
requesting annexation 69.42 acres located on the west side of Timberline Road, approximately 1.5
miles south of Harmony Road. The property, formerly a farm, is mostly vacant, with the exception
of the farmhouse (single-family dwelling) and some out-buildings. It is in the FA1 – Farming Zone
District in Larimer County.
Page 7
The requested zoning for this annexation is NC – Neighborhood Commercial (6.33 acres), and MMN
– Medium Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (16.69 acres), and LMN – Low Density Mixed-Use
Neighborhood (46.40 acres).
25. Resolution 2012-108 Making Findings of Fact and Conclusions Regarding the Appeal of the Decision
of the Zoning Board of Appeals Relating to the Approval of a Variance to Allow the Existing Off-
premise Sign (Billboard) in the Bnsf Railroad Right-of-Way at 190 West Prospect Road to Be
Removed and Reinstalled at a New Location Within the Same Railroad Right-of-way at 190 West
Prospect Road.
On August 9, 2012, the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) approved a variance to allow the existing off-
premise sign in the BNSF Railroad right of way on the north side of West Prospect Road to be
relocated within the railroad right of way 70 feet west of its current location. On August 23, 2012,
Richard L. Anderson filed a Notice of Appeal, alleging that the ZBA failed to conduct a fair hearing
and failed to properly interpret and apply relevant provisions of the Land Use Code.
On November 6, 2012, City Council, by a vote of 5 - 2 (Nays: Manvel, Poppaw) determined that the
ZBA did conduct a fair hearing, and by a 7 - 0 vote determined that the ZBA failed to properly interpret
and apply relevant provisions of the Land Use Code.
The determination that the ZBA failed to properly interpret and apply relevant provisions of the Land
Use Code resulted in the City Council overturning the decision of the ZBA to approve Appeal No.
2714.
In order to finalize this appeal process, Council is required to adopt a Resolution making findings of
fact and finalizing it decision on the Appeal.
26. Resolution 2012-109 Making Findings of Fact and Conclusions Regarding the Appeal of the Decision
of the Planning and Zoning Board to Approve the Regency Lakeview Addition of a Permitted Use for
Multi-family Dwellings at Christ Center Community Church and the Associated Project Development
Plan.
On July 19, 2012, the City of Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board approved Regency Lakeview
Addition of a Permitted Use and Project Development Plan. On August 2, 2012, Mr. Andy Lewis et.al,
filed a Notice of Appeal seeking redress of the Planning and Zoning Board decisions.
On November 8, 2012, City Council took the following actions:
1. With regard to the allegation that the Planning and Zoning Board failed to conduct a fair
hearing in consideration of the Addition of a Permitted Use, the Council voted 6 – 0 that the
Board did not fail to conduct a fair hearing.
2. With regard to the allegation that the Planning and Zoning Board failed to properly interpret
and apply relevant provisions of the Code and Charter in consideration of the Addition of a
Permitted Use, the Council voted 4 – 2 (Nays: Troxell, Weitkunat) that the Board failed to
properly interpret and apply relevant provisions of the Land Use Code thus overturning the
decision of the Planning and Zoning Board.
3. With regard to the allegation that the Planning and Zoning Board failed to properly interpret
and apply relevant provisions of the Code and Charter in consideration of the Project
Development Plan, the Council voted 6 – 0 that the Board failed to properly interpret and
apply relevant provisions of the of the Land Use Code, thus overturning the decision of the
Planning and Zoning Board.
In order to complete the record regarding this appeal, Council should adopt a Resolution making
findings of fact and finalizing its decision on the Appeal.
27. Resolution 2012-099 Adopting a Water Supply and Demand Management Policy.
The Fort Collins Utilities staff has updated the City’s Water Supply and Demand Management Policy

The 2013 annual operating budget for the Airport totals $693,100, and will be funded from Airport
