Development Overlay District Pilot. (staff: Megan Bolin; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute
discussion)
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 024, 2013, Amending the Land Use Code by the Addition
of a Temporary Planned Development Overlay Zone District.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 025, 2013, Amending the Land Use Code to Add or
Clarify Certain “General Standards” and “Purpose” Statements Related to the Planned
Overlay Development District.
The Planned Development Overlay District (PDOD) is a new zoning tool designed to provide
contextual land use and design flexibility for infill development and redevelopment projects. Since
February 12, 2013
it is new and unique, a pilot is being proposed as a way to test the PDOD prior to considering
permanent adoption. The pilot would establish a six-month application period allowing up to five
application submittals; only projects within the PDOD pilot boundary would have the option to
apply. Based on public outreach, the PDOD pilot boundary has been modified since originally
proposed to include commercial areas along College Avenue, east Mulberry, and west Elizabeth.
Properties within 1,000 feet of the Poudre River or that are within a designated historic district
have been removed from the pilot.
Ordinance No. 025, 2013 makes several amendments to Article 3 of the Land Use Code (LUC).
These amendments are directly related to the PDOD, but would be permanent amendments to the
LUC and thus require a separate Ordinance.

6. Adjournment.

WORK SESSION
February 12, 2013
after the Adjourned Meeting
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Capital Improvements Expansion Fee Update. (staff: Jessica Ping-Small, Mike
Beckstead; 1 hour discussion)
Capital Improvement Expansion Fees were first implemented in 1996. In the fall of 2012,
staff initiated a comprehensive review of the original study. The goal of the review was
to ensure that the methodology first implemented was still applicable and to assess the
fee structure to confirm that it was consistent with the current level of service. To assist
with the review, Finance staff contracted with Duncan Associates, a nationally known
firm that specializes in impact fees.
3. Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods Character Study. (staff: Pete Wray, Sherry
Albertson-Clark; 1 hour discussion)
The Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods Character Study process included extensive
public outreach that identified neighborhood objectives and issues, and defined the
character and context of the neighborhoods. The Study process and findings are
summarized in a final Strategy Report, dated November 15, 2012. This report also
includes staff recommendations to implement five strategy options that were presented to
February 12, 2013
City Council at the work session on November 27, 2012. The staff recommendations at
that time did not include revising existing Floor Area Ratio (FAR) standards, because it
did not reflect a mutually agreeable solution from the public. City Council directed staff
to proceed with implementation of the five strategy options, including development of a
formula to revise the existing maximum FAR standard.
In preparation for this work session, staff prepared two alternatives for Council to
consider for the proposed package of potential Land Use Code (LUC) amendments
included in the Ordinance:
1. Option A reflects a package of Land Use Code amendments that implement the
five recommended strategy options as well as a revision of existing FAR
standards using a new formula.
2. Option B reflects a package of Land Use Code amendments that implement the
five recommended strategy options, but does not include a revision to existing
FAR standards.
4. Other Business.
5. Adjournment.
