October 6, 2015 City of Fort Collins Page 242 Councilmember Overbeck asked how many bedrooms per unit are planned for each of the proposed 188 units to be developed each year. Fricke replied the number of bedrooms was not projected. Councilmember Overbeck asked how many people per unit are planned. Fricke replied the average household size is just over 2 in the City. Councilmember Overbeck asked if there are provisions or restrictions for short-term rentals in the Plan. Beck-Ferkiss replied the conversation regarding short-term rentals was not included in the Plan; however, Council will be hearing more about the effect of short-term rentals on affordable housing in the future. Councilmember Overbeck asked about the outreach efforts to CSU. Beck-Ferkiss replied staff did not meet specifically with CSU; however, all of the public outreach was open to the community at large and students and CSU community members have participated in that realm. Councilmember Overbeck suggested ASCSU or CSU representatives be specifically included in future conversations. Beck-Ferkiss replied staff has met with the Assistant to the President for Affordable Housing at CSU; however, that meeting was not specifically related to this Plan. Councilmember Overbeck asked if this Plan indicates the possibility of selling certain land bank properties in order to attain others.

Mayor Troxell stated the City-CSU Leadership Committee received a report from President Frank regarding CSU's affordable housing discussions. Mayor Pro Tem Horak requested information regarding the use of a more local index moving forward. Beck-Ferkiss replied she has looked at both indexes. The dashboard used by the City for the past several years relies on the Wells Fargo housing opportunity index, which is published for all metropolitan areas across the country. The western United States is currently being used as a benchmark and the City is trying to stay within the top 1/3 of housing affordability for that region.

He October 6, 2015 City of Fort Collins Page 243 expressed concern regarding the use of cost burden as a baseline metric to set goals noting Fort Collins is unique due to its student and senior populations. He suggested the possibility of adjusting the metric in order to address those populations. Beck-Ferkiss agreed there is some inflation due to those demographics. She stated the Housing Affordability Policy Study removed seniors without a mortgage from the cost burden category. Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Stephens, to adopt Resolution 2015-086. Councilmember Stephens supported adoption of the Plan and commended the way in which projects will be evaluated. She noted the importance of providing quality housing across the spectrum for all community members. Councilmember Overbeck stated he would support the motion and discussed the issue of community wages.

Mike Beckstead, Chief Financial Officer, discussed the rebate incentives for the Woodward project, which included capital expansion fees, use tax, utility PIFs and development fees. Beckstead went on to detail the rebate agreement application and the fact the capital expansion fee rebates will come from the Capital Expansion Fund rather than the General Fund. Eric Sutherland opposed the use of capital expansion fees for these rebates. October 6, 2015 City of Fort Collins Page 244 Councilmember Cunniff asked if $60,000 would be available from the General Fund if desired. Beckstead replied in the affirmative. Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Campana, to adopt Ordinance No. 113, 2015, on First Reading. Councilmember Overbeck asked if this item went before the Council Finance Committee. Beckstead replied it was not a formal presentation but was a discussion item wherein the direction given was to bring forward the item in the same fashion as it was in May.

There is a land bank property on West Horsetooth which is ideally suited for the size and location for such a project. Council should explore the option of disposition of this property to the Housing Authority in order for the grant applications to begin. Councilmember Campana expressed support for evaluating the option and stated the land bank properties should be examined as funding resources. He spoke of the importance of applying the strategies found in the newly-adopted Affordable Housing Strategic Plan. City Manager Atteberry stated, at this point, there seems to be no reason staff cannot work toward such a goal. Councilmembers Martinez and Stephens supported looking at the property as a possibility. Councilmember Martinez requested Council support for the possibility of looking at changing City Ordinances in order to allow e-bikes on bicycle paths. Councilmember Cunniff did not oppose that possibility; however, he discussed the importance of limiting speed in all transportation modes in order to increase safety. Mayor Pro Tem Horak suggested staff provide feedback and recommendations regarding a possible outreach effort.
