(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. 5. Other Business. 6. Adjournment.

(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.
