3. Student Housing Action Plan. (staff: Beth Sowder; 1 hour discussion)

Housing Action Plan project and to receive feedback from Council regarding the
community engagement process, the process for identifying action items, and the
proposed timeline.
February 14, 2012
The purpose of Student Housing Action Plan project is to work with Colorado State
University, Front Range Community College, neighbors, students, and other stakeholders
to identify strategies and recommend action items to address the increasing need for
multi-family student housing and potential impacts and compatibility issues upon
existing neighborhoods. Feedback received through the community engagement process
will drive the specific recommendations and action items, which could include
procedural or process changes, Code changes, design criteria, and mechanisms for review
and monitoring.
4. Report on Integrated Recycling Facility (Feasibility Analysis). (staff: Susie Gordon,
Bruce Hendee; 45 minute discussion)
To help reach the community’s goal of diverting 50% of the waste stream, the City
examined drop-off systems which would facilitate materials diversion for residents. A
consulting firm was hired in 2011 to do the work using Keep Fort Collins Great funds.
This work session will review a final draft of an Integrated Recycling Facility (IRF)
report that evaluates three types of expanded drop-off facilities, including analyses of
each option’s financial structure and waste diversion potential.
Geographic siting information and property costs were evaluated for 23 properties in Fort
Collins as part of the IRF study. Because the sites represent potential real estate
transactions they will not be discussed in the work session. However, it would be useful
to gather Council perspective on general location considerations within the City.
A second consulting project currently underway, called the Waste Stream Study and
Waste Stream Conversion Technologies Review, will not be discussed until a later work
session.
5. Other Business.
6. Adjournment.
