WORK SESSION
January 31, 2012
6 p.m.
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Planned Development Overlay District. (staff: Karen Cumbo, Megan Bolin; 1 hour
discussion)
The Planned Development Overlay District (PDOD) is a newly developed land use tool
designed to enhance the Land Use Code process to encourage infill development and
redevelopment. The PDOD provides applicants with some flexibility in land use and
design while, at the same time, raises the bar in terms of incorporating community
sustainability goals within the project. The PDOD is optional and applicants will
continue to have the ability to use the standard Land Use Code (LUC) development
process.
3. Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau Update. (staff: Kelly DiMartino;
Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director: Jim Clark; 45 minute discussion)
The City of Fort Collins contracts with the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau
(FCCVB) to provide various convention and visitor services. In 2011, the FCCVB
generated approximately 20,000 hotel room nights in group, meeting and convention
sales, responded to more than 18,000 visitor inquiries, and generated over $2 million in
coverage in national and international publications.
January 31, 2012
The FCCVB will provide an overview of these and other efforts, share benchmark
comparisons related to the agency’s performance, and discuss plans and opportunities for
the future.
4. Traffic Safety in Fort Collins. (staff: Karen Cumbo, Joe Olson; 1 hour discussion)
The recently updated Transportation Master Plan places a strong emphasis on safety for
all travelers using all modes of travel in Fort Collins. Safety performance measures are
necessary in order to determine how well the City is meeting those safety goals. In 2011,
the City Traffic Operations Department produced a “Traffic Safety Summary” (found
online at: www.fcgov.com/traffic). The Summary is intended to be used as a
benchmarking tool to track progress on efforts to reduce the number of crashes as well as
crash severity. The information in the Traffic Safety Summary is also used by City staff
to guide efforts to improve safety.
Staff will present crash information and discuss how data is being used to improve traffic
safety. In addition, staff will present information regarding the City’s crosswalk policy
which was developed as part of the Pedestrian Plan, adopted in 2011.
5. Other Business.
6. Adjournment.
